Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 743 They Have Already Been Released

Police station.

Too many people caused a commotion at Fang Family’s place tonight, and after completing a round of interrogations, Xing Mingfei let most of the irrelevant individuals go, retaining just a few "ringleaders."

However, since no one was actually injured and it was approaching midnight, not wanting to add unnecessary workload, Xing Mingfei simply took those few "heads" to the conference room for collective interrogation.

Before long, he ascertained the crux of the incident, and with a lift of his deep-set eyes, glanced towards Wen Jiaojiao, who was still moaning, leaning on the back of her chair.

"You’re saying it’s because Lady Shu owed you money and didn’t pay it back, that’s why you brought people to collect the debt?"

Wen Jiaojiao, holding her head, said, "Officer, you need to get this straight. I didn’t lay a hand on anyone, he was the first to push."

As she spoke, Wen Jiaojiao pointed towards Fang Wenzhe on the opposite side.

Fang Wenzhe’s gaze was initially fixed intensely on Shu Yan, sitting next to him. Hearing this, his brow furrowed.

"I didn’t push you. I was just trying to prevent you from hurting my wife."

"How could that be, I..."

Just as Wen Jiaojiao was about to say that Shu Yan was her good friend and that she couldn’t possibly hurt her, she suddenly remembered her purpose for coming tonight and became speechless. freēwēbnovel.com

She then hurriedly sought help with a glance towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked up at Shu Yan and discreetly took her hand resting on the table.

"Shu Yan, did Wen Jiaojiao hurt you?"

Shu Yan was still wrapped in a thick coat, hat, and scarf, and even wore a face mask and sunglasses.

Upon Jiang Li’s touch, she visibly shuddered, then shook her head.

Fang Wenzhe immediately pressed his hand on her shoulder, becoming visibly tense.

This subconscious action alerted Jiang Li that something was amiss. Before everyone, she straight-up pulled Shu Yan’s sleeve up.

Instantly, the bruises on her arms were exposed to the air.

The people opposite all inhaled sharply, and Xing Mingfei’s expression turned grave as he stood up, slapping the table.

"What exactly is going on here?!"

Wen Jiaojiao quickly leaned back, shaking her hands vigorously.

"Officer, it wasn’t me. I didn’t lay a hand on her."

Shu Yan, in a fluster, pulled her sleeve back down and explained, "This, this was an accidental bump."

As she spoke, her eyes turned toward Jiang Li.

It wasn’t accusing, but rather looked helpless.

Jiang Li understood her implication, her gaze sweeping past the somewhat nervous Fang Wenzhe and landing on Xing Mingfei.

"Criminal Police Officer, if the injuries on Shu Yan’s body were truly caused by us, we will take full responsibility. Please, officer comrade, proceed according to protocol and take Miss Shu Yan to the hospital for an examination."

"No way!" Mrs. Fang abruptly stood up. "You can’t take my daughter-in-law; she just had a fall at home a couple of days ago, and that’s why we had her rest in bed!"

Jiang Li said with a smile, "But didn’t you just say that Shu Yan couldn’t see anyone because she was ill? How come it’s now turned into an injury?"

"I, this..."

Actually, without Jiang Li’s reminder, Xing Mingfei, with years of case-handling experience, had already perceived the wrongness in the Fang Family members.

He didn’t bother listening to their excuses and had two colleagues take Shu Yan to the nearby hospital for evidence collection.

Mrs. Fang initially wanted to interfere, but was pulled back by Fang Wenzhe.

"Mom, this is the police station, stop being headstrong."

"But..." Mrs. Fang said with trembling hands, "But Shu Yan..."

"It’s okay," Fang Wenzhe shook his head gently, a shrewd gleam shooting through his eyes behind his glasses, "Nothing will go wrong, trust me."

During the evidence collection, people from both parties were taken to separate interrogation rooms.

Wen Jiaojiao, who had witnessed the entire process, vented her anger aloud.

"The Fang Family really are up to no good! The wounds on Shu Yan’s arm obviously look like they were inflicted by someone; that Fang guy actually abuses her at home!"

Qi Tianyu was also indignant, "I was wondering why Sister Yan has been acting strangely recently. She was such an outgoing person when she appeared on Flash Change, and now she’s been abused by that scumbag to this extent, it’s outrageous."

"Shu Yan really baffles me; why didn’t she call the police after such treatment? Even if it wasn’t convenient to call the police, she could’ve at least told us, right? How could she still be so quiet at the police station, even speaking up for the Fang Family?"

Jiang Li sat on the sofa nearby, silent throughout the ordeal, and only at the end did he speak up faintly, "Without full knowledge of the facts, I refrain from commenting. Perhaps Shu Yan had her own difficulties."

During the time the police were gathering evidence, Weibo had already blown up.

Because the live broadcast was interrupted, everyone rushed to the Weibo pages of those involved who had a bit of fame, waiting for the outcome.

There were also gossip bloggers who posted overnight speculations about the incident.

After all, it’s not uncommon for celebrities to have a falling out in the entertainment industry, but this was the first time they’d seen someone doorstep another with a crew in tow for a confrontation!

The explanation that netizens found most convincing went as follows—

It was said that since Shu Yan’s appearance on Flash Change, she had been less active, her fame and following not as strong as some of the others.

Yet she spent money like it was going out of style and, in the end, couldn’t cope, so she borrowed money from Wen Jiaojiao in private.

Wen Jiaojiao and Shu Yan never really got along well, and they completely fell out over the money.

And so, on such a late night, Wen Jiaojiao, along with her old friends Jiang Li and Qi Tianyu, went to demand the debt, and in the midst of their argument, a scuffle broke out, which alerted the police.

Later, someone spotted Shu Yan being taken away by the police at the city hospital and immediately posted a photo online, causing another sensation.

[Guys, I just bumped into Shu Yan at the hospital, she was wrapped up tightly, seemed to be injured, and was being taken by the police for an examination!]

[Damn, damn, was the fight that intense? To the point of needing an examination?]

[Seriously, Princess Wen actually made a move? I thought she was just arrogant and domineering normally, I didn’t expect her to actually doorstep someone with a group of people.]

[Tsk, Shu Yan is no angel either, always flirting around. Have you seen the negative stuff about her online?]

Soon, the hospital results were out.

Shu Yan had dozens of injuries of varying sizes on her body, though not very severe, indeed half of them were man-made and the other half resulted from collisions caused by external forces.

Upon receiving the results, Xing Mingfei went to the interrogation room where Jiang Li and the others were, showing them the proof from the hospital.

"All these injuries were inflicted more than 24 hours ago, which proves they were not caused by you guys, you’re free to go now."

"Of course," Wen Jiaojiao said with a snort, arms crossed, "Do I look like that kind of person?"

Xing Mingfei stared at her, eyes gleaming with ambiguous intent, it was as if he was on the verge of saying, "You do look like that kind of person."

"Alright, now it’s proven we’re innocent, can you arrest the Fang couple? They dare to abuse Shu Yan like this, hurry up, slap a pair of iron bracelets on each of them!"

"No," Xing Mingfei shook his head, "Before I came here, they had already been released."
