Chapter 686: You Got the Wrong Guy
No one would know so long as the Su family denied that Shen Xi was the child of the Su family. Shen Xi would escape the scandal unscathed.
“Dad! Dad! Help me!” Su Muxuan suddenly screamed and looked toward Su Yi, calling for help. With terror written all over his eyes, he put up a struggle to break free from the police. “It wasn’t me. You got the wrong guy. I didn’t kill anyone.”
The police cuffed him. “Please cooperate, Mr. Su. We’ll determine if you’ve killed anyone once we’re at the police station. We won’t arrest the innocent, but we won’t let any criminal walk free either.”
Hearing the commotion, Su Yi pushed away from the surrounding reporters and made his way toward Su Muxuan. He used to be somebody for decades after all. Although the reporters did give way to him at first, they soon pursued him for further questions.
The police had not left after apprehending Su Muxuan. Now that the reporters were all over their faces, the police, who were tipped by Kun Lun, told the press about Su Muxuan being a suspect in a murder.
The reporters appeared more fascinated. It never crossed their minds that attending a press conference would bring about one breaking news after another. They were at a loss of what to focus on or who to aim the camera at.
“Dad.” Su Muxuan was absolutely terrified. Never in his wildest dreams that the things he did in the dark would see the light of day. He gave Su Yi a frightened look.
“Go with them for now. I’ll come up with a way.” Su Yi tipped him the wink while whispering in Su Muxuan’s ear.
He had to stop the matter from escalating more than it already had. Arguing with the cops would only look bad on them. Hence, Xuan should cooperate with the investigation at the police station while he would deal with Shen Xi.
Su Muxuan nodded his head. At this point, he could only put faith in his father to rescue him. It was only one death. That person got what he deserved for threatening him!
Su Yi patted Su Muxuan’s shoulder and leaned in his ear to give a few words of advice. Su Muxuan was not to say a word until his attorney arrived.
With Su Muxuan taken away, the overwhelmed reporters then turned their attention to Screenwriter Cloud Seven. However, the screenwriter was gone and nowhere in sight.
Even Su Yi took off amid the chaos.
The ones on-site who could possibly give answers were Hu Zheng, the director, and the cast. The press quickly closed in on them.
Knowing his place, Hu Zheng expressed ignorance to all questions.
The actors, following the director’s suit, claimed they knew nothing.
In the end, the reporters left with a mind full of unanswered questions. With the concerned party gone, they would achieve nothing by staying. All they could do was sort out the information to publish and see if they could get to any of the direct parties.
They could lie in wait at the police station for first-hand information since Su Muxuan was detained there. The reporters might even come across Su Yi as he would be there for his son.
The place gradually quieted down as the press left in succession.
It was all the rage online because the press conference was broadcasted live. News that Shen Xi was Li Jingran and Su Yi’s biological daughter made the top spot online and went viral.
In the comments, there were people who took Shen Xi’s side, expressing that they would not believe a person like Su Ruowan. Su Yi said it himself that Shen Xi was not his daughter, so it must be the case.
The more unfeeling commenters firmly stood by that Shen Xi was the Su family’s daughter. Someone brought up that Shen Xi and Li Jingran looked alike by putting the young Li Jingran’s photo and screenshots of Shen Xi at the press conference side by side. They shared a resemblance.
Still, it was all an assumption. No one dared spread rumors without any admission from the parties involved. Shen Xi was a big shot with many faces after all. She was Ms. Cai Ni, a beloved student of Ms. Jiang Yin. She was Cloud Seven, a gifted screenwriter with TV ratings to match. Sentiment-wise, many refused to believe that an amazing person like her was born of sc*mbags like Su Yi and Li Jingran.
The news of Su Muxuan being arrested for murder was outshined by Shen Xi’s identity and was only brought up once discussions of Shen Xi’s family ties died down. Of course, the public did not hold back from putting him on blast.
Every member of the Su family was wicked, barbaric, and plain corrupted. Since the family’s scandals were a common sight these days, the public was not surprised by Su Muxuan’s murder case and believed it was in his blood. It was best he was sentenced to death so that they all could get on with their lives.
After shaking off the reporters and instead of checking on Su Muxuan at the police station, Su Yi proceeded backstage to look for Shen Xi but was told she had taken off long ago.
Su Yi was anxious as he had no means to contact Shen Xi. With things boiling to this point, the only person who could help him was Shen Xi. He placed all his hopes on her.
Out of options, he worked his connections to get in touch with Jiang Yin, asking her to tell Shen Xi that he was going to spill the beans if Shen Xi did not see him by tonight.
Jiang Yin hung up the call and furiously flipped the table in front of her. Her darling student was unfortunate to have such heartless parents. Su Yi was a piece of sh*t.
She knew there was no refuting when it came to blood ties. Although the Su family had been making rounds on the news like clowns, Jiang Yin was relieved the family saw it in their conscience not to involve her darling student.
It never occurred to her that they would suddenly come after her dear student. Did they think their threat would get to her? Her precious student was not someone they could intimidate.
Regardless of how angry she was, Jiang Yin called her darling student to ask what her plans and thoughts were about the Su family’s matter. It was troublesome and not an easy fix.
Shen Xi was just getting on Li Yuan’s private jet when she got the call. Sipping on her bubble tea, she leisurely inquired, “Are you having a good time with my mom?”
She told Jiang Yin to take Madam Yun for a trip abroad in fear her mom would be harassed by the Su family if she were to remain in the country.
