Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 769: Su Yinwan Gets into Trouble!
Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Su Yinwan Gets into Trouble!
The Jiang Family’s banquet caused quite a buzz online.
Apart from the venue arranged by Jiang Li, which sparked heated discussions, it was the big shots who attended the banquet.
"Feels like half of Capital’s elite were at the Jiang Family’s birthday banquet."
"Not just that, when I went with my dad, I even saw my university professor, it shocked me."
"Do the Jiang Family have such wide connections?"
"Didn’t a blogger analyze it? With the Jiang Family’s current assets and power, they can definitely be considered the nouveau riche, the old powers in Capital are no longer influential, of course, everyone wants to make connections."
"Let me tell you something even more explosive, the Rong Family was there too!"
"Rong?? The deputy mayor? Seriously?"
"One of my girlfriends said she saw Gu Yu there! Apparently, there was some kind of conflict, it was very exciting, but those people are tight-lipped, couldn’t find out anything."
"Damn, I really want to dig into this gossip! The wealthy families are even more exciting than the entertainment industry!"
Just as netizens were ready to dig deeper into the banquet gossip, the related topics were quietly removed from trending online.
Just when netizens guessed they might have touched on some big shot’s private matters, another shocking piece of gossip was revealed, which immediately captured everyone’s attention.
The main figure in the gossip was none other than Su Yinwan.
It was a million-follower blogger who broke the news that Su Yinwan was privately in debt from high-interest loans and was under investigation.
Coincidentally, the police also issued a notice about the usury investigation case the next day, which immediately exploded in the media.
The blogger seemed to have a strong backing, with compelling evidence and even high-definition pictures.
Netizens, including Su Yinwan’s fans, were all dumbfounded.
Su Yinwan had always cultivated an image of a resilient "little white flower" in the entertainment industry, and no one associated her with crime.
Suddenly, social media was in an uproar.
Some said Su Yinwan’s persona was bound to collapse, others said she was being targeted and deliberately smeared.
But neither side could really get in touch with Su Yinwan herself.
Including Su Yinwan’s agent.
Until the third day, Xiao Xueyi received a call and rushed to the police station.
At that time, Su Yinwan was just being led out by a policewoman, with Xing Mingfei still sternly lecturing her.
"Whether it’s a pig-butchering scam or not, as a public figure, you should have been cautious. Considering you really have no substantial criminal evidence, just clarify the origin of the sudden money in your account recently, and you can leave."
Su Yinwan was completely out of it, dazed, her eyes barely shining.
Xiao Xueyi followed the police and handled the procedures for half the day before finally meeting her.
Seeing Su Yinwan in such a state nearly scared her soul away.
"What on earth happened? How did you end up owing usurious loans out of the blue? If you needed money, you should have told me, why be so thoughtless?"
Su Yinwan shook her head, tears "plop" falling down.
"I didn’t....."
She suddenly grabbed Xiao Xueyi’s hand, "Sister Xueyi, you must help me, I...."
Xiao Xueyi then noticed that her exposed arm seemed to be injured, which unnerved her even more.
"What happened to you? Did the loan sharks do this? Did you tell the police?"
Su Yinwan hastily covered her arm and looked away, "No, I hurt it myself, it’s not that, actually I..."
She wanted to say more, but just as they walked out of the police station, reporters swarmed towards them.
"Miss Su, has the police investigation result come out yet? Do you really owe money from high-interest loans?"
"Miss Su, haven’t you acted in many movies? How could you owe so much money? Some netizens are saying it’s because you gambled. Is that true?"
"Miss Su, when do you plan to explain? As a celebrity, why would you get involved in such bad behaviors?"
...
Su Yinwan grabbed Xiao Xueyi’s hand, her face turning pale.
"What’s going on? How do they all know?"
Xiao Xueyi sighed, "It had already spread online when you disappeared. Take a look yourself."
Xiao Xueyi turned on her phone and handed it to Su Yinwan, who trembled slightly as she looked at the trending search terms.
How could this be?
Was it all Jiang Li’s doing?
It must have been Jiang Li’s doing!
Su Yinwan knew she should ignore the reporters. She put on a hat and left without saying a word, her face cold.
As she walked out the front door, a familiar car was parked by the roadside. The window rolled down to reveal a familiar face.
"Get in?"
Seeing this face, Su Yinwan felt no emotional fluctuations, only a bit annoyed.
Just as Shang Shaojing hit a low point in his career, this had to happen to her! Otherwise, he could have been somewhat useful in clearing things up for her!
Su Yinwan opened the car door and got in, while Xiao Xueyi went to drive her own car.
However, before she could even fasten her seatbelt, Shang Shaojing questioned her, "What’s the matter with you? How could you owe high-interest loans?"
Su Yinwan paused, her expression turning ugly. She scoffed, "What do you mean? I was locked up in the police station for so many days. You didn’t think to bail me out, show any concern for me, or help with the online comments. Instead, you only think to question me?"
Shang Shaojing frowned, "I’m doing this for your good. I’m afraid you’ve encountered some bad people."
He paused and then asked, "Have you been spending time with a Taoist? Is he involved in this?"
Su Yinwan looked at him incredulously, "Are you tracking me?"
"So you’re really hiding something from me?"
"Huh, then let me tell you the truth. I didn’t take any high-interest loans, and I didn’t gamble. Do you know that I was abducted? By that bitch Jiang Li, just three days ago!"
Instead of feeling sympathy for her, Shang Shaojing began to doubt her.
"What are you talking about? Jiang Li was busy with the Jiang Family’s anniversary banquet three days ago. How could she have kidnapped you? And why would she want to kidnap you?"
Su Yinwan glared at him, "You’re actually defending Jiang Li??? Don’t you know why she would kidnap me? It’s all because of you!"
Su Yinwan had been somewhat gleeful initially.
Until a bullet pierced her arm, and she was truly scared.
Because the original book never had this plotline!
The people Jiang Li had hired to kidnap her were just some thugs; they shouldn’t have had access to guns!
When she woke up from unconsciousness, she saw the police.
But she dared not say anything.
The threats from those people were still ringing in her ears, her mind blank, leaving her no choice but to be led by the nose.
Sure enough, she was still inside, and the outside had already turned into this mess.
It had to be Jiang Li’s doing!
But to Shang Shaojing, all this sounded like nonsense.
