☆, Chapter 125: Exposed
After entering, she locked all the doors and windows, and then Xia Ning collapsed on the bed, almost exhausted.
This was the first time in her life that she had been threatened with death. She felt completely stunned and lay there for half an hour before she gradually regained consciousness.
Xia Ning held her cell phone, found Wen Run's number and called him.
"Wen Run, where are you?" Xia Ning asked impatiently after the call was connected.
"I'm at home." The gentle voice was as calm and gentle as ever. "You got up late today, Xiao Ning."
From last night till now, Xia Ning has experienced a life-and-death test, but only she knows how dangerous it is.
Wen Run had no idea and just thought that she had just woken up from a nap at home.
Will there be a day when she is really murdered, and Wen Run will just think that she is missing, without knowing the reason or the murderer?
The more Xia Ning thought about it, the more frightened she became. Rather than letting Wen Xueyao know without her knowledge, she would rather give it a try.
"Wen Run, can you come over right now? I have something to tell you." Xia Ning said solemnly.
"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour." Wen Run was as easy to talk to as ever.
"When you get downstairs, remember to call the media. Contact as many as possible. I need to be interviewed." Xia Ning instructed.
She asked Wen Run to make the call when he got downstairs, for fear that the people watching around might see Wen Run and the media coming over and do something bad to her.
But it will be different when Wenrun arrives. With Wenrun around, those people will definitely not dare to act rashly.
After doing all this, Xia Ning put down her phone, took two deep breaths, and began to make up the words she would use later in her mind.
…
That afternoon, an interview with Xia Ning caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry, appearing on more than a dozen trending searches and sweeping across major media outlets and websites.
No one who opened the video expected to see such explosive news before opening it.
During the interview, Xia Ning faced dozens of well-known media outlets without any makeup on, and her eyes were swollen from crying, looking pitiful.
While crying, she politely introduced herself as Xia Ning, the senior assistant who had followed Wen Mianyu for more than five years.
Then, things took a sharp turn, and Xia Ning began to cry to the media about her recent experiences.
She said that she used to be Wen Mianyu's assistant. Wen Mianyu had a good personality and good character. He was always very nice to her and even introduced her to his family.
Because of this, she got to know Wen Run and Wen Xueyao, but they didn't have much contact and didn't know each other well.
Just over two months ago, she suddenly received a call. Wen Xueyao asked her to meet and wanted her to tamper with Wen Mianyu's vitamins.
She was stunned at the time, not understanding why Wen Xueyao would propose such a thing, and directly rejected the other party.
But Wen Xueyao did not give up and promised her money and status, asking her to help deal with Wen Mianyu.
Of course she refused, repeatedly and sternly rejected it, and warned Wen Xueyao not to do such illegal things.
"I originally thought Wen Xueyao was just playing a prank. I didn't tell Movie Queen Wen because I was afraid that it would affect her if I told her," Xia Ning cried until her eyes were red and her face was full of guilt. "But I didn't expect that just two months later, I would hear the news that Movie Queen Wen had passed away in a car accident."
"I thought it was too coincidental at the time, so I asked the police to investigate further, but the police told me that the accident was just an accident."
"Wen Xueyao also looked very sad. I thought at the time that this was just a coincidence."
"I didn't expect that after the storm had passed, one day, Wen Xueyao suddenly found me..."
"Wait a minute, Ms. Xia Ning," one of the reporters interrupted, raising the microphone with the logo on it. "Since you knew Wen Xueyao's motives were not pure, why didn't you tell the public sooner?"
"I wasn't sure at first. I asked the police for details. They said the accident was caused not only by a brake problem but also by a large truck that suddenly hit from the opposite direction. The truck driver was also tragically killed in the accident. There was no human error involved." Xia Ning wiped her eyes and choked up. "I don't have any evidence, so how can I accuse Fu Kongwen Xueyao based on one side of the story? This is a serious blow to her reputation."
"Ms. Xia Ning, your consideration is very thoughtful. So now, why have you changed your mind?" the reporter who asked the question just now asked again.
"I changed my mind because Wen Xueyao started threatening me a month ago." Xia Ning's face was filled with fear, as if she had been caught up in something terrible. She huddled up in a ball. "She first warned me not to talk nonsense, and then she sent people to follow and monitor me. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I wanted to stay away, but I didn't expect..."
Xia Ning took a deep breath, her eyes widening in fear. "Last night, she sent someone to kidnap me and almost killed me to silence me. She also warned me not to speak too much, not to leave City A, and to obey her orders in everything."
"Ah!" The reporters on the opposite side all gasped.
Who would have thought that Wen Xueyao, who usually appears gentle and harmless in front of the camera, would actually engage in such kidnapping activities in private?
"Ms. Xia Ning, is there any misunderstanding here? You said Wen Xueyao kidnapped you. Do you have any evidence?" a reporter asked.
Their job is to dig out all kinds of secrets that the public wants to know. The more bizarre and eye-catching the better.
Xia Ning had been prepared to deal with various questions. Hearing this, she remained calm and reached out to push back the long hair on the right side of her face, revealing the redness and swelling underneath. "This is the evidence. The person who kidnapped me called Wen Xueyao in front of me and slapped me several times as a warning."
The distinct slap marks on Xia Ning's face clearly showed that she had been hit not long ago. The redness and swelling showed how much force the other party had used.
The reporters were busy aiming their cameras to take close-ups of her face. Some tried to comfort her, while others took the opportunity to ask even more explosive questions.
Xia Ning answered each question one by one, exaggerating Wen Xueyao's story. Finally, she concluded, "She was rejected by me back then, and she's been brooding over it ever since. Moreover, she knew I was half an insider, and she was afraid that I would blame her for the accident involving Ms. Wen, and that I would say something unfavorable to her, so she treated me like this..."
"I feel my personal safety is under great threat. Now I dare not go out at all. I always ask my boyfriend to stay here with me. I am afraid even when he goes out to buy groceries. It doesn't matter if I go alone, but I am more afraid of getting him into trouble."
Xia Ning wiped away her tears, sniffed, and pretended to be strong in front of the camera. "So I decided to expose this matter and let everyone know Wen Xueyao's true face. If one day I disappear or have an accident, it must not be an accident, it must be Wen Xueyao's doing. I ask everyone to help bring her to justice and seek justice for me."
…
The video was more than ten minutes long, and almost everyone who clicked on it couldn't help but watch it to the end, with each one more shocked than the last.
The hot search term "Wen Xueyao's true face" quickly became popular, and Wen Xueyao's Weibo was also attacked. Netizens almost unanimously cursed Wen Xueyao.
After all, the kissing video with her future brother-in-law had already caused Wen Xueyao's reputation to plummet. Xia Ning's revelations were consistent with the previous scandals, so there was no reason for everyone not to believe it.
Some people felt sorry for Wen Mianyu, some were worried about Xia Ning, some cursed Wen Xueyao, and some tagged the official police Weibo, requesting a retrial of the car accident case.
All of a sudden, various experts showed off their skills, several internet celebrity lawyers came out to comment on the matter, and some even had wild imaginations and analyzed Wen Xueyao's modus operandi.
Ye Qianan was implicated once again. The scandal and Xia Ning's words together pointed to the close relationship between him and Wen Xueyao. Most netizens believed that Ye Qianan was also involved.
Some netizens with an overflowing sense of justice even spontaneously organized a guard team to stand guard outside Xia Ning's home and take turns protecting Xia Ning.
Xia Ning is an innocent victim in everyone's eyes and is the only witness. Wen Mianyu's fans also call for the protection of Xia Ning.
Wen Mianyu watched this farce on her mobile phone during a break in filming a commercial, but Wen Xueyao never showed up or made a sound.
By the evening, the situation had developed to a point where the police could no longer ignore it. The police announced on Weibo that the investigation into the car accident would be reopened and summoned Xia Ning to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
…
"I never thought that Xia Ning would actually go to the media." After getting off work, Wen Mianyu returned to his residence and made a voice call with Lu Congxu to discuss what happened during the day.
Lu Congxu has a big night shoot tonight and can't go back to City A, so Wen Mianyu can't meet him and talk about this.
"I knew Xia Ning wouldn't call the police, but I didn't expect her to contact the media." Lu Congxu was also surprised by Xia Ning's behavior. "Wen Run contacted me this afternoon and said Xia Ning wanted to call the media. I didn't expect her to say so much."
"Yes, to protect herself, she kept criticizing Wen Xueyao, not realizing that her words matched the recording perfectly." Wen Mianyu was delighted. "That's good now. We don't have to go through all the trouble. The rest will be left to the police and lawyers. We just need to provide the evidence."
"I have asked the old man to contact the best lawyer, who will represent the Wen family and let Wen Run represent you." Lu Congxu was well prepared.
"Okay." Wen Mianyu said.
The two were speechless for a moment.
In the past, before their relationship was confirmed, Wen Mianyu was a chatterbox, always teasing Lu Congxu.
But now that they are boyfriend and girlfriend, some jokes are inappropriate, and some jokes will sound like seduction if told.
We've just started a relationship, there's really no need to move so fast.
Wen Mianyu thought for a moment and found a new topic. "Oh, by the way, I've finished filming my commercial. The advertising manager said it will be ready for release in the next few days. The brand is quite anxious."
"Okay, I'll look for it when the time comes." Lu Congxu said.
"What's so good about this? You've seen me shoot commercials before, it's just like that." Wen Mianyu lay on the bed, reaching out to fiddle with the small ornament on the headboard. "I'll be back tomorrow. Be careful of mosquitoes while you're filming today, don't get bitten."
"Okay." Lu Congxu responded.
"I'm going to sleep. If there's anything urgent with Wen Run, just call me." Wen Mianyu instructed.
"Okay, I will." Lu Congxu agreed.
"Then...good night." Wen Mianyu said.
"Good night." Lu Congxu's voice was gentle.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Xueyao stared at the screen for a while, found a kissing expression, and sent it to Lu Congxu.
She was too embarrassed to kiss him on the phone, but she still dared to do it by sending an emoji.
I thought that after such a long time, Lu Congxu would have been busy, but I didn't expect him to reply so quickly.
Lu: Kiss.
It’s also an expression, but cuter than Wen Mianyu’s.
Wen Mianyu covered her face, took a breath, and typed.
Wen Mianmian: Are you being lazy and not going to work?
Lu: Yes, I went to the bathroom just now.
Wen Mianmian: Go quickly and stop playing with your phone.
Lu: Yes, sir.
Wen Mianmian: Good night this time.
Lu: Good night.
…
On the night Xia Ning was summoned to the police station to cooperate with the investigation, Lu Congxu provided the police with a recording and some other small evidence.
The police were shocked after reviewing the evidence, and their attitude towards Xia Ning naturally changed. From the initial questioning, they turned into a skillful interrogation.
Xia Ning originally wanted to use the media and public opinion to protect herself, fish in troubled waters, and escape when Wen Xueyao was embroiled in scandal and forced to accept investigation.
By then, Wen Xueyao would be in the police station, suspected of murder, but she would be able to hide her identity and enjoy life abroad without having to worry about Wen Xueyao's threats.
Xia Ning had a good plan, but she never expected the police to act so quickly and interrogate her harshly right from the start.
The interrogation lasted a whole night. Xia Ning could not hold on any longer and her answers were full of loopholes, gradually revealing all her true colors.
At this moment, Wen Xueyao is adjusting to the time difference abroad.
He came here to work yesterday. Because of the scandal, she has a bad reputation and has few jobs in China. She has been traveling abroad frequently recently.
The jet lag was very uncomfortable, so Wen Xueyao didn't pay attention to Weibo. It was not until she went online in the evening that she found out that she was being condemned by the entire network.
Wen Xueyao immediately canceled her flight for tomorrow morning and called her friends in China to find out about the situation.
After learning that Xia Ning was taken to the police station for investigation, Wen Xueyao realized that things were completely out of control. Xia Ning, a spineless person, would definitely not be able to survive the police interrogation.
If she returns to China now, she will be walking into a trap.
But continuing to stay abroad is not an option. All her accounts are in China and were frozen an hour ago. She cannot withdraw the money, and her life abroad has become a problem.
After much thought, Wen Xueyao had no choice but to call Ye Qianan.
"Brother An?" The call was quickly connected. Wen Xueyao was very surprised. She thought that after something like this, Ye Qianan would no longer pay attention to her. "Is it you?"
Wen Xueyao was afraid that someone was using Ye Qianan's phone to set a trap for her.
"It's me." Ye Qianan's voice came.
"I'm glad it's you..." Wen Xueyao breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother An, you haven't answered my call for a long time. I thought you would never talk to me again."
"Where are you now?" Ye Qianan asked.
"I'm abroad." Wen Xueyao said.
"When will you come back?" Ye Qianan's voice was cold and emotionless.
Wen Xueyao finally realized something was wrong, "Brother An, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm asking you when you're going to get back!" Ye Qian'an suddenly yelled, quite hysterically, "Do you know that I'm going to be implicated because of you? Now everyone suspects that I'm involved in Mian Yu's death, and you're doing the same? Huh? Hiding abroad and not coming back! Do you think you can get away with it this way?"
"I'm not Brother An..." Wen Xueyao tried to explain.
Ye Qianan didn't give her the chance at all, "I don't want to hear anything, right? I just want you to come back now, right now!"
