Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 749: What if He Made a Fatal Mistake?

"I saw the trending topics."

Jiang Li left Weibo and initiated a voice call in a group chat with several people.

Wen Jiaojiao, who was so angry she hadn’t even brushed her teeth or washed her face, spoke resentfully through the screen, "What is this Fang Chusheng playing at, acting like a victim now! Disgusting!"

Qi Tianyu’s expression was also very grim.

"I’ve never encountered such a despicable man. I’ve lost tens of thousands of followers on Weibo. He really knows how to twist the truth!"

Losing followers was a minor issue, nothing to be anxious about.

What angered him more were Fang Wenzhe’s tactics.

Shu Yan soon joined in.

She had seen the information online early in the morning and had been uneasy all morning.

After seeing the group’s call, she immediately apologized.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’ve dragged you all into this, it’s all my fault. I’ll go explain things clearly on Weibo right now."

Jiang Li immediately said, "Now is not the time to clarify, Fang Wenzhe is doing this to force you to show yourself. If you post on Weibo now, you’ll fall right into his trap. It’s just some netizens’ speculation; it doesn’t affect us."

"Yes, yes," Qi Tianyu said indifferently, "It’s just losing some followers, no big deal. It also shows who my true fans are."

"But, if this continues, won’t it have a bigger negative impact on you?" Shu Yan said, tears in her eyes.

She knew they didn’t really care.

But it was their indifferent attitude that made her feel even more guilty and miserable.

Why was she worthy of their help?

Suddenly, Wen Jiaojiao screamed.

"Damn, something else has happened. You all check Weibo. Shu Yan, why did you terminate your contract with your agency?!"

Shu Yan was stunned, seemingly realizing something, and tremulously opened Weibo.

The top trending topic was the termination contract issued by her agency.

Below it was signed Fang Wenzhe’s name.

More importantly, he had left a message saying he had already been planning to retire from the industry, and this incident made him see the true colors of others in the entertainment circle. With the contract expiring, he had officially retired.

All the netizens were shocked.

[OMG, did Shu Yan really retire???]

[Are people still trying to defend Jiang Li and others? She’s retired now, isn’t it obvious?]

[Princess Wen went too far, holding onto her and forcing her to retire!]

[Won’t the police do something? I have already reported it, thank you.]

Even Xing Mingfei couldn’t stand the harassment from netizens and issued an official notice—

[Miss Shu is currently recuperating in the hospital under police protection. Please do not believe rumors, thank you.]

But those misled by Fang Wenzhe didn’t believe it.

[Shu Yan is recuperating in the hospital? Then why won’t they let Lawyer Fang see her? They are husband and wife.]

[Where is the hospital proof? Show us.]

[You say Shu Yan is in the hospital and she really is? Isn’t it more likely they can’t find her and are saying this to prevent public opinion from fermenting?]

[Princess Wen’s family is so wealthy; it wouldn’t be strange if there were some dirty tricks.]

Seeing these comments, Wen Jiaojiao was infuriated.

"Are these people crazy? The police issued a notice and it’s like they didn’t even see it? Now they’re blaming the police? Do they have any common sense?"

Qi Tianyu sighed, "Now I truly understand how terrifying public opinion can be. I’ve never been slandered before, and now that I am, it’s shocking. My phone is about to explode from calls from relatives and friends, and I don’t dare say anything."

He didn’t forget to joke at the end, "You and Sister Li really had it tough back then."

Wen Jiaojiao: "....."

"Huh, it seems you haven’t been criticized harshly enough yet, you still know how to joke."

Qi Tianyu stuck out his tongue, "Because I know I’m good, we were manipulated by the bad guys."

"Let’s do this," Jiang Li finally spoke, "I’ll go to the hospital to see Shu Yan later. As for what to do next, wait for my instructions."

Wen Jiaojiao: "Aren’t we going together?"

Jiang Li shook his head, "The situation is very hot right now, you guys must have already been targeted by the paparazzi. And besides, even without the paparazzi, Lawyer Fang Wenzhe will definitely pay attention to you, for safety, you’d better stay at home. I can go alone."

"That’s fine, just be careful on your own."

Jiang Li quickly got ready and left the house.

Fortunately, Ji Yanbai was professional and much sharper than an ordinary bodyguard. They didn’t encounter any followers on the way to the hospital.

Jiang Li once again felt that hiring Ji Yanbai was money well spent.

Afterwards, their personal safety became secured.

Once at the hospital, Yu Li’s men directly led her to Shu Yan’s room, keeping everything highly confidential.

After resting for a night, Shu Yan looked a bit better.

But she was still in extreme anxiety, nothing like her earlier appearances on "Flash Change."

Seeing her come in, Shu Yan immediately approached.

"Jiang Li, should I go out and meet him? He definitely wants me to appear right now. Maybe if I show up, he will leave you guys alone."

As she spoke, tears began to fall.

Even she hadn’t expected Fang Wenzhe to go to such extremes, to the point of unilaterally declaring her retirement without consulting her.

Pushed to the edge, Shu Yan collapsed onto the sofa. Jiang Li came over and patted her back.

"Don’t worry too much, there’s still a chance."

Shu Yan shook her head, "There’s nothing left, everything is gone. I only have this body left, everything else is with him."

Only today did she realize how terrifying Fang Wenzhe was.

She was completely like a marionette, living in a world he controlled.

She thought she was living brightly.

Once away from the manipulator, all she had left was an empty shell.

Yet, Jiang Li still firmly said, "There’s a way, if you really want it."

Shu Yan looked up in a daze, "What way?"

"The public opinion online is very unfavorable to us now, no matter how we explain, it’s like a drop in the bucket. The only way is to sue Fang Wenzhe and let the law and evidence speak."

Shu Yan smirked bitterly, "It’s impossible, there’s no way to win against him. His actions don’t constitute intentional harm, nor do they break any laws."

Moreover, they were still married, and Fang Wenzhe, being a lawyer, had managed to just skirt around the laws even if he indeed did something excessive.

"He’s very smart, very cautious," Shu Yan wiped her tears, feeling utterly hopeless, "I’m afraid if we really push him into a corner, he might do something that hurts you guys."

If she wasn’t wrong, Fang Wenzhe must be frantically searching for her right now while racking his brains to find faults with Jiang Li and the others, vowing to push each of them to a dead end.

Jiang Li sat across from her, his expression icily indifferent.

"What if I told you he once made a fatal mistake?"
