Chapter 68 She Doesn't Want Jin Qingyu Anymore
"Why did you look at my phone? She always says I stole her things. Shouldn't you have searched it first?" Jiang Cancan said somewhat guiltily.
Her mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't believe how Jiang Xingyao could be so calm.
So many people are criticizing her online, why hasn't she broken down yet?
Jiang Xingyao said, "Jiang Cancan, you don't think that just because they can't find anything in your house, it means you're off the hook and we don't need to search your phone, do you?"
Jiang Cancan, her face pale, looked to He Qifeng for help.
There were indeed some transaction records on her phone.
If she were to be found out, Jiang Xingyao would definitely hold her accountable.
He Qifeng looked at Jiang Cancan with a worried expression. Just as he was about to speak, one of the policemen became impatient: "Quiet down, Ms. Jiang Cancan. Please cooperate with the investigation and hand over your phone."
Jiang Cancan looked at He Qifeng for help again.
At this critical juncture, He Qifeng was also unable to help. He said, "Can Can, we have done nothing wrong. It is Jiang Xingyao who is making trouble. Since she insists on causing trouble, let them search. Anyway, you have a clear conscience."
"What a 'clear conscience' statement!" Jiang Xingyao felt that He Qifeng was even more poisoned by Jiang Cancan than Jin Qingyu, to the point that he was practically worshipping her.
She looked at He Qifeng with a mocking gaze, wondering if he would still trust and protect Jiang Cancan so much when the truth came out.
Despite the police officer's repeated requests, Jiang Cancan could no longer delay and could only dejectedly hand over her phone.
She never thought Jiang Xingyao could find anything, so she never tried to hide anything. Soon, the police received two huge transaction records from Jiang Cancan's phone.
The first transaction took place shortly after Jiang Xingyao embarrassed Jiang Cancan at the club.
Jiang Xingyao remembered that Shen Ying had mentioned that when Cheng Jing returned to China, the time when Dijing Entertainment was promoting his upcoming concert was also in that area.
As for the second transaction, it occurred just a few hours ago and involved a sum of 50 million.
"Ms. Jiang Cancan, please explain the source of these two sums of money," the police officer said.
Jiang Cancan's eyes flickered, and she quickly came up with an idea: "Officer, these two transactions are not enough to prove that I stole her things, are they?"
It was just a transfer between close friends; there's nothing to delve into.
She was actually quite careful; she always arranged meetings with people over the other side by phone, and there were no chat logs left behind.
The only potential problem with her phone was these transaction records, but that doesn't prove anything.
"Ms. Jiang Cancan, please explain clearly, what friend are you, what is their name, and why did they transfer money to you?" the police officer asked.
Jiang Cancan hesitated, as if she hadn't expected the question to be so detailed.
Jiang Xingyao had run out of patience. She said, "If you can't say it, I'll say it for you. She works for Dijing Entertainment. The reason she transferred money to her is that she stole and resold the mementos left to me by my grandfather. Officer, it's tens of millions of yuan. That's enough to keep her in jail for several years."
When Jiang Xingyao came to report the case, the police asked her to confirm the approximate value of her lost items. Jiang Xingyao never gave a definite answer, only saying that it was probably worth tens of millions.
That was her own estimated price. After all, Dijing Entertainment was willing to do plagiarism in order to promote Cheng Jing. Seeing that the concert was very well received, they would naturally not be stingy if they bought out the evidence.
It now seems she underestimated the financial strength of Emperor View Entertainment.
"I didn't steal anything, I..." Jiang Cancan panicked when she heard that she was going to jail. She wanted to explain, but hesitated.
If she were to prove that she hadn't stolen anything, it would be tantamount to helping Jiang Xingyao prove that she hadn't plagiarized and that she was the one who had interfered. How could she be willing to accept that?
Jiang Cancan stammered for a long time but couldn't give a coherent explanation, which clearly indicated a problem with her attitude.
The police then had the transfer records checked, and unsurprisingly, the person behind it was a high-ranking executive at Emperor View Entertainment.
Given the large sum of money involved, Jiang Cancan was naturally detained first.
As Jiang Cancan was being led away, she cried out, "I can't go to jail! I can't go to jail! Mr. Jin, please save me! I really can't go to jail!"
Help me, I know…
Jin Qingyu stood there, watching Jiang Cancan's figure disappear into the distance. He seemed to have no reaction, but in reality, he kept recalling the words Jiang Cancan had just said.
He Qifeng said, "Qingyu, you can't just ignore Jiang Cancan. This must be her framing. How could someone like Cancan steal?"
Urged on by He Qifeng, Jin Qingyu walked over to the bathroom. Just then, Jiang Xingyao finished giving her statement and came out. Jin Qingyu said, "I'll take my wife home first."
"What did you say? You really don't care about Jiang Cancan anymore? Do you know that this was Jiang Xingyao deliberately framing her? Are you just going to let Jiang Xingyao get away with this?" He Qifeng pressed on.
Lin's mother walked past him and said irritably, "Trying to frame me on purpose? How is my wife so capable that she can even get the police to be her accomplices?"
Jiang Xingyao didn't dare to delay. On her way back to Xiyuan, she sent the evidence from Jiang Cancan's phone to Shen Mingsu.
Jiang Xingyao reported the theft to the police, wanting to get her belongings back. The police quickly went to Dijing Entertainment.
The plagiarism incident caused a huge uproar online, and Dijing Entertainment also received a lot of attention. When the police came to the door, the online sentiment changed somewhat, and the criticism of Jiang Xingyao gradually subsided.
"Why did you report the case to the police without telling me?" Jin Qingyu finally asked as the car stopped at Xiyuan.
Not long ago, he had the illusion that Jiang Xingyao was going to depend on him.
As a result, she was able to secretly report the case without her knowledge.
Jin Qingyu couldn't quite describe his feelings. He felt a little disappointed, yet also as if it were perfectly natural. His wife was proud and rarely bowed her head, let alone cling to someone like a parasitic plant.
Jiang Xingyao didn't answer his question. She asked again, "Are you sure you won't interfere with Jiang Cancan this time?"
He had agreed readily before, but this time, Jin Qingyu seemed a little hesitant.
The expectant light in Jiang Xingyao's eyes gradually dimmed.
She added, "Jin Qingyu, even if you want to get her out of jail, can't you wait until this matter is completely over?"
These pieces are the culmination of my hard work; they can't be ruined like this.
The car was silent. Jiang Xingyao thought she would never hear his answer. After a while, she heard him say, "Yaoyao, Jiang Cancan can't go to jail. Once we get her out, I won't see her anymore."
It's like a guarantee, and also like a promise.
Jiang Xingyao actually knew that Jiang Cancan wouldn't be locked up in jail for long. Even if Jin Qingyu didn't lend a hand, He Qifeng and the Jiang family would help.
Although Jiang Xingyao felt a slight sting when she heard Jin Qingyu's words, it was so mild that she could hardly feel it.
Night fell.
After a long day, Jiang Xingyao came home and went straight to sleep.
Jin Qingyu seemed to have left again.
Faintly, Jiang Xingyao heard the sound of a car engine fading into the distance.
She was so tired that she didn't have the energy to care.
Jiang Xingyao was vaguely awakened by her cell phone ringing. It was still dark, and the ringing was urgent and shrill, as if something big had happened.
It is Shen Ying.
The drowsiness vanished instantly. Jiang Xingyao answered the phone and heard Shen Ying say, "Xingyao, what's wrong with your husband? Has he gone mad? You clearly found evidence, how could he..."
husband?
Jin Qingyu?
Jiang Xingyao was a little confused. Shen Ying said, "Xingyao, calm down first, and then look at what Jin's official Weibo just posted."
Shen Ying was usually very elegant, and Jiang Xingyao couldn't guess what could make her so anxious. She obediently opened the official Weibo account, and a line of large characters on it immediately dazzled her eyes, making her ears ring.
"Regarding the recent uproar online, I would like to respond here: my wife did indeed plagiarize. She has not studied related majors and does not understand these things; she just thought it was fun for a while."
The Jin family will compensate everyone for the impact this period has caused and the losses incurred by the Shen Group. Please forgive our wife's ignorance.
Plagiarism? Ignorance?
Jin Qingyu had clearly seen the songs she wrote.
Even just a few hours earlier, he had said with absolute certainty that he believed in her.
So what is this?
In the blink of an eye, he mercilessly nailed her to the pillar of shame.
"Xingyao, I know this is very upsetting for you, but you have to come to the company now. Asu's side is about to collapse. Where are you? Do you want me to come pick you up?" Shen Ying's voice slowly seeped into Jiang Xingyao's ears over the phone, bringing her back to reality.
Jiang Xingyao clenched her trembling hands. At this moment, she had to try to calm herself down first. At least she had to take responsibility for this matter and not let Shen Mingsu bear the pressure unilaterally for her sake.
"No need, I can go by myself," Jiang Xingyao said.
Jin Qingyu's promise was still fresh in everyone's mind, and the official Weibo post was even more piercing and hurtful.
As Jiang Xingyao packed her things, she dialed Jin Qingyu's number with trembling hands.
By the time she finished packing, she had called eight times, but no one answered.
Just as her calls would never reach Jin Qingyu via radio, she knew that it was simply because Jin Qingyu didn't want to answer.
On the way to the Shen family's residence, the sky was still dark.
Jiang Xingyao kept dialing Jin Qingyu's number, but without exception, she couldn't get through to any of them.
Just like that day in the heavy rain, when the car broke down on the side of the road, and that phone call that could never be made, exactly the same.
The cold rain from that day still seemed to linger on her skin. Jiang Xingyao tried hard to avoid thinking about it and to avoid driving herself out again.
She had finally managed to forget the heavy rain, but Jin Qingyu pushed her back into the seemingly endless stillness of the night.
Everything that happened during this period seemed like a delirious fantasy she was having.
Jin Qingyu may never have changed; it's just that she's foolish, clinging to illusions, giving him chances time and time again.
But not this time, Jiang Xingyao thought, she never wanted Jin Qingyu again.
