Chapter 265: Chapter 265: This Time You Must Help Me

As expected, the truth behind the video was unearthed one by one and became a hot news topic.

Meanwhile, Jiang Li and Zhao Lang’s actions against the poachers garnered attention from many animal protection organizations and animal lovers.

They began to voice their support for Jiang Li.

[A person with such kindness toward animals, how could she possibly be morally corrupt to become someone’s mistress?]

[Some people really need to use their brains, don’t just believe everything you hear, learn to have your own discernment.]

[My sister is part of a wildlife protection association in the Northwest and has been working there for several years. It’s tough work every day, but seeing wildlife protection garnering so much attention makes me really happy. Please pay more attention to public welfare and stop focusing on baseless gossip.]

[Yes, Jiang Li has made such great contributions to society, even distinguished herself, yet you fixate on an unproven matter–who is the villain and who is the gentleman is immediately apparent!]

Among these supporters were many blue V verified Weibo animal enthusiasts, not only with vast numbers of followers but also with immensely reputable backgrounds.

When the haters saw this momentum, they gradually dared not speak anymore.

Jiang Li saw the public opinion had almost reached its peak, so she quickly contacted Director Sun to release a statement, explaining and clarifying, sentence by sentence, the previous Weibo post that alleged their liaison.

Her visit to Star Media Entertainment with Director Sun that day was purely coincidental, and the man accompanying her at the company that day was not Director Sun but her cousin. During that time, she hadn’t even met Director Sun face-to-face.

Addressing this point, Jiang Li directly obtained the CCTV footage of the day from Shen Lan, which showed that although she and Director Sun had entered the company on the same day, their timings were completely separate, and they went to different places.

As for being in the same room during the shoot, it was solely because she suspected that the village chief’s child’s drowning was related to the poachers and wanted to discuss it with Director Sun privately to avoid unnecessary commotion.

The reason they had not been open about it before was that they had not yet captured these individuals.

By now, these perpetrators had mostly been handed over to the police for processing, and Yan Dabiao had also confessed that Hu Zi, belonging to the village chief’s family, had indeed been knocked unconscious by them and thrown into the lake.

–Because Hu Zi happened upon them poaching wildlife while he sneaked out to play in the mountains.

To prevent him from alarming the villagers, they had silently taken care of him.

As for the yellow dog Lai Fu, it was also tortured by them.

–As a form of revenge.

Unlike the baseless fabrications of the whistleblower, the images attached in Jiang Li’s clarifying Weibo were of these people’s testimonies in the police station, completely credible.

Seeing these clear and detailed pieces of evidence listed, the netizens were left without anything to say.

The opposition was beaten to this extent, even with police evidence; if they still had doubts, wouldn’t that be completely unreasonable?

Who could doubt the credibility of the police?

Watching Jiang Li gradually cleared of accusations and even receiving a string of positive reviews, Su Yinwan was thoroughly unable to sleep out of anger.

She was just one step away, how did she manage to turn things around so dramatically?

Confused and frustrated, she immediately called the employee, berating them furiously.

The employee’s face also turned extremely grim.

“Miss Su, I also don’t know why things turned out this way…”

“Heh, you don’t know either?” Su Yinwan scoffed coldly, “Wasn’t it you who told me that Jiang Li and the director definitely had an improper relationship? I believed you, gave you so much money to hype it up, and what happened? It all went down the drain!”

“I’m sorry, Miss Su, I didn’t expect things to turn out this way, I–”

The person on the other end suddenly fell silent mid-sentence, followed by strange noises coming from the receiver.

Su Yinwan furrowed her brows, “Hello, speak up, what happened?”

The employee did not respond again, instead, several other unfamiliar voices took over.

“Xiao Cai, you better come with us… this matter has already been– we need to understand…”

“You, you must be mistaken, right? This matter has nothing to do with me, I’m busy now, can I go to Mr. Shen’s later?”

“Don’t make it difficult for us… everyone knows… we’re all colleagues, let’s not make a big scene.”

Then came a series of dial tones.

Although she couldn’t hear clearly, the fragments of conversation were enough to make Su Yinwan feel uneasy.

Had the matter been exposed?

If in the end it was traced back to her, her acting career would be destroyed, and the mission in this world would be a failure.

Growing more and more anxious as she thought about it, Su Yinwan began pacing nervously in her room.

“No, I can’t just sit here waiting for doom.”

She reactivated her phone and immediately called Shaojing.

Fortunately, after a few seconds, a familiar voice came through the receiver.

“Yinwan? What’s wrong? Why are you calling me so late?”

Su Yinwan sniffled and quickly choked out, “Brother Shaojing, I’ve never troubled you with anything before, but this time… you must help me.”

“I, I seem to have caused a disaster…”

…

…

At three in the morning, the case of poaching wildlife in Chixia Village was nearly resolved.

The night outside was dim and began to cool.

The higher authorities took this matter very seriously, and several directors even rushed over during the night to personally handle the case and dispatched people to escort Jiang Li and Zhao Lang out.

The deputy director shook their hands and repeatedly thanked them.

“Thank you so much, and sorry for keeping you at the station for so long. We’ll arrange for someone to escort you back to the village right away.”

Zhao Lang smiled, “It’s our duty, no need for thanks, Director.”

“Not at all, if everyone in society were as brave and just as you young people, Hua Country would truly be at peace.”

The deputy director then exchanged a few pleasantries with the village chief and discussed follow-up measures, his gaze inadvertently falling on Jiang Li who stood quietly to the side.

On his way here, he had learned a bit about this girl and thus offered his concern, “Miss Jiang, are you still troubled by the stuff online? Rest assured, if you have any needs, just let us know. Addressing the public’s concerns is our duty.”

However, Jiang Li shook her head, “The stuff online is trivial; I’m not worried about that.”

She had explained what needed to be explained, even if there were any objections, those were just from a couple of clowns, not worth her concern.

Zhao Lang looked at her for a moment before turning back to the deputy director.

“Jiang Li is worried about Chen Xing, who escaped. Although his accomplices have also shared some information, there’s still very little mentioned about this Chen Xing.”
