Chapter 596 Retaliation from Bo Jinyan
If things continue like this, Chen Wanru will become her only burden, and may even become her future rival.
She absolutely cannot let that happen.
"What did you say? You want me to save Chen Wanru?" Realizing this, Gong Lian asked incredulously, "Wen Qingyi, I'm saving you because you're my woman. What is Chen Wanru to me? Why should I risk my life to save her?"
"Just because she's your friend? Then your friends must be worth a lot of money."
The last sentence was a complete irony to her.
It was a sarcastic remark directed at her for pushing her luck.
But Wen Qingyi really didn't think she was pushing her luck: "Ah Lian, I'm not asking you to save her because she's my friend, it's because her safety is at stake!"
"Think about it, with Chen Wanru as a witness in Bo Jinyan's hands, do you think that just by bringing me out of the police station and having Wang Wenyuan confess, Chen Wanru might suddenly stand up and testify against me? In that case, Wang Wenyuan's confession will be overturned by the police very quickly!"
"When the police investigate, they will quickly find out that I am the real murderer, and Wang Wenyuan will be brought back to the charges he deserves. I will still be in danger!"
She wasn't exaggerating; she was stating a fact that was about to happen.
As long as Chen Wanru doesn't show up, she will be in a dangerous vortex every day.
Gong Lian suddenly realized after hearing her words: "You mean, Chen Wanru is a witness, and as long as she doesn't show up, you won't be safe for a single day?"
“Yes.” Wen Qingyi tugged at his sleeve. “You need to think carefully about the implications of this. Helping her is the same as helping me!”
Chen Wanru and she were in the same boat; if Chen Wanru died, then she obviously couldn't live either.
Therefore, she couldn't just stand by and watch Chen Wanru go.
Regardless of what Chen Wanru says, she will eventually become a hidden bomb, blowing her to smithereens.
Gong Lian raised his hand in a gesture of stopping him: "Let me think about it carefully."
Wen Qingyi nodded slightly and released him.
She believed that as long as he carefully analyzed the pros and cons, he would find that she and Chen Wanru were bound together by a relationship of mutual benefit and mutual loss.
There was no other choice.
Chen Wanru thought she would be locked in this basement for the rest of her life, but late at night, Acheng went to rest.
One of the men, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly stood up, poured her a sip of water, and handed it to her to drink.
Chen Wanru was stunned for a moment, then obediently finished drinking all the water: "Did you come to save me?"
“Yes, but not for the next couple of days.” Seeing that everyone around him was asleep, the man untied Chen Wanru: “I’ll untie you first. Sleep for a while if you can. I’ll tie you up again before dawn.”
He couldn't directly help her escape.
After all, if Chen Wanru disappears, they will be the first ones to come knocking on Bo Shao's door to settle scores.
Chen Wanru's voice was a little hoarse: "Why are you helping me like this?"
"It was Miss Wen, Gong Shao's fiancée, who asked me to do this." The man let out a long sigh of relief: "I originally planned to rescue you directly, but Bo Shao has been keeping a close eye on you these past two days, so you'll have to put on an act for a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wanru was deeply moved: "So, Sister Yi hasn't forgotten me, she still remembers me..."
She didn't abandon her; she genuinely wanted to save her.
Thank goodness, thank goodness...
“Yes, Miss Wen hasn’t forgotten you. She’s been helping you secretly all along.” The man explained to her, “So you have to cooperate with me. If you cooperate well, you’ll get out sooner or later.”
Chen Wanru nodded emphatically: "I will cooperate with you, I will definitely cooperate with you, I will not let Sister Yi down."
Upon hearing this, the man curled his lips into a smile and quietly left the room.
The following day at noon, during a break, the man took the opportunity to go out and came to the bamboo forest in Zizhu Park.
A tall, slender man stood in the bamboo grove, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Gong Lian asked with a half-smile, "How did it go?"
"As you instructed, I have already conveyed the message to her. Miss Chen was very touched and kept saying that she would not let Miss Wen down."
"Continue to appease her, and don't let her out for now." Gong Lian took a drag of his cigarette, the bluish-white smoke filling the bamboo forest, his expression cold: "We can't alert her because of her, understand?"
The man bowed his head and replied, "I understand."
"Go."
However, what they didn't know was that Ah Cheng was in the monitoring room, watching the man's every move clearly.
Bo Jinyan stared at the monitor screen, his expression as if covered by a thin layer of ice, making one feel as if they were in an ice cellar: "It's Gong Lian again..."
Why does Gong Lian have to deliberately go against him?
She deliberately made things difficult for him time and time again.
Since that's the case, then he has nothing left to worry about.
We'll see.
That afternoon, the stock price of Yihe Media Group, the film company owned by Gong Lian, suddenly plummeted, and shareholders who had previously purchased a lot of shares began to suffer losses due to the sharp drop.
Many investors have also begun to gradually sell their shares in Yihe Media, and the stock price curve is showing a clear downward trend.
At the same time, a scandal involving Wen Qingyi suddenly broke out on Weibo.
Wen Qingyi is suspected of intentional homicide and is currently under police investigation. The accompanying picture shows Wen Qingyi walking out of the police station with Gong Lian, accompanied by a private lawyer.
This perfectly confirms that the news is highly authentic.
The news caused an uproar on Weibo, with many netizens digging into the background and discovering that Sang Ruo, the founder of the Guoxue Studio, had been in a car accident and was still in the hospital.
Faced with the murder accusation, many netizens began to take action, protesting on the official Weibo account of the movie starring Wen Qingyi. Many brands that Wen Qingyi had previously endorsed also began to demand that they terminate their contracts with her and seek compensation from her.
Wen Qingyi was greatly disturbed, but since her agency contract had long been transferred to Yihe Media, she herself was not affected. On the contrary, Gong Lian's Yihe Media suffered unprecedented attacks.
The group's board of directors convened an emergency meeting to discuss this matter.
Many major shareholders opposed the film's release, but Gong Lian still insisted on protecting it: "Everyone, I spent a lot of money to make this film, and we're about to get the screening license. Why not take advantage of the controversy and release it ahead of schedule?"
"In this way, our investment money won't go down the drain, after all, even black and red are still red."
The shareholders felt that he made some sense, but they still couldn't make up their minds.
Just as they were hesitating, Gong Lian's secretary suddenly rushed into the conference room, interrupting their meeting: "President, something bad has happened."
"We received a message from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television saying that we used artists with bad records and that they have revoked our screening license."
