When Wen Nian returned to her seat, many classmates glanced at her, but she remained expressionless.
She knew the situation was tricky, but now she had to sort out her thoughts. Regardless of who the mastermind behind this was, she needed a comprehensive plan.
Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian’s serious expression, several times wanting to speak, but words failed him each time.
In the end, he watched as Wen Nian kept using her phone to contact someone. He couldn’t help but ask, “Wen Nian, let me contact a lawyer, and my uncle…” “No need,” Wen Nian said without lifting her head, still focused on her phone.
Seeing her attitude, Shen Jun grew anxious. “Wen Nian, this matter is complicated. I truly believe in you. Let me help you.”
“There’s no need. Director Xu helped me contact a lawyer and we’re prepared to report this to the police,” Wen Nian’s voice remained even. She didn’t doubt Shen Jun, but this time, she had to resolve the situation on her own.
Whether it was to bring down the Wei family or to get rid of the person who was causing trouble for her, she had to do it herself.
She glanced at the nervous Shen Jun and felt a pang of sympathy. Then, she said, “Then help me investigate the fake commentors. As long as we can find out who hired someone to defame me, we might be able to find the mastermind.”
“Alright, don’t worry! I’ll definitely catch all these stinky bugs!” Shen Jun quickly agreed and started publishing the video on his phone while promoting it on various platforms.
He also contacted Zhao Wu in advance, asking him to investigate the male officer’s background. Even if he hadn’t taken bribes, his conduct at work must have been problematic. He couldn’t be let off so easily.
The reason Wen Nian asked Xu Chang to find a lawyer for her was to gain some leverage. Her main asset in this situation was her online presence. As long as people paid attention to her, if they saw the evidence, she could clear her name and uncover the mastermind.
At this point, social media had exploded with activity. Keywords like #WenNianAttemptedMurder, #WenNianArrested, #PoliceSuspectedOfBeingBribedToFrameWenNian all climbed the trending headlines.
Wen Nian also updated her social media accounts. She posted a simple caption: “Questioned by the police in the principal’s office.” Below that was the surveillance video from the principal’s office.
Initially, many netizens thought that Wen Nian was staging a show for her future entertainment career, to gain popularity for her application to drama school. But the fact that the police had actually approached her, with questionable questioning, had been pointed out by netizens.
“They didn’t even inform the parents and directly questioned her at school?” “The police’s tone is clearly threatening, right? If that were me, I’d be scared to death. Sister Nian is truly awe-inspiring, staying calm in the face of danger!” “Agreed with the commentor above! Don’t forget that Sister Nian is just in her teens! I’m in my twenties, and I’d be scared by the police’s intimidation.”
“How can the police convict someone without evidence? How can they say that Wen Nian attempted murder?”
“Wen Nian has a powerful background, huh? She doesn’t even get arrested for attempted murder, (sarcastic comment, please don’t scold me.)”
“How powerful is the mastermind behind this? They even managed to manipulate the police?”
The comments from netizens were overwhelmingly supportive. Especially given the narrative that the police might have been bribed to falsely accuse a female celebrity, Wen Nian’s name suddenly became known to everyone.
Several media outlets that had come to the school for interviews quickly organized the video content. Taking advantage of the hype, they also released the video of the incident.
What surprised everyone even more was Xu Chang being the first to step forward to support Wen Nian. He retweeted her post and shared her update. After that, a few senior colleagues who had treated her well on set also stood up to support Wen Nian. They posted messages on social media in her support. Even those who hadn’t paid attention to this matter before began spontaneously searching for evidence to support Wen Nian.
The fans in the fan club group even spontaneously began to control the comments.
Sister Jiao: Is Wen Nian still at school? Did she cry?
Zhou Bei: Sister Nian is almighty! Haven’t you seen the video? Even the police couldn’t intimidate her. She’s indeed the goddess of war!”!
Zhao Min: No, she didn’t cry. She’s still doing her homework! Her mental fortitude is extraordinarily strong, isn’t it?
Zhou Bei: Who still has the evidence video from yesterday? With evidence, rumors will be debunked naturally!
Zhao Min: I’m inexperienced. I just retweeted it yesterday, and now the videos have been deleted! It’s frustrating. I wonder if the Jiang family is involved!
Seeing the intense discussion in the group, Zhao Jiao decided to help her daughter-in-law.
Zhao Jiao: 1 have the video, and I’ve also contacted the photographer who took the video..
