However, no matter what these people said, Officer Liu arrested them and detained them according to the severity of their crimes.
Fang Mei was imprisoned again, awaiting trial in court.
Because the Wen family refused to issue a letter of forgiveness, Fang Mei had no choice but to go to jail.
After Wen Li returned to City A, Officer Liu called to say that Fang Mei's sentence was only three months, and that she was serving her sentence outside of prison.
Wen Li didn't take it to heart.
Now she has everything she needs.
Now that her father and brother are here, Xu Yurong, the stepmother, may have a few ulterior motives, but she is ultimately on her side.
Moreover, she has so many good friends. Her first eighteen years were full of hardships, but the rest of her life was smooth sailing.
Life has its ups and downs, and Fang Mei's little troubles won't affect her.
Officer Liu added, "I heard that our town is going to be developed into a scenic area. Your master's former Taoist temple has been rebuilt. Once the road is completed, you can come back to visit often... If Fang Mei causes you any more trouble in the future, just come to us."
Wen Li was slightly taken aback, guessing that it was all done by her father and older brother.
"Thank you, Officer Liu." Wen Li said, "Please go home early after get off work today. Your daughter might be in danger if she comes back today."
There was a long silence on Officer Liu's end, and after a while, something was heard falling to the ground.
Officer Liu's voice was a little tense: "Okay, okay."
Wen Li hung up the phone.
Officer Liu's daughter was targeted by a drunkard in town and was in danger, but she warned him that if Officer Liu could arrive in time, he could save his daughter's life.
Sure enough, Officer Liu called the next day to thank him, saying that it was fortunate he got home in time, otherwise his daughter would have met with misfortune.
When Officer Liu asked how he would pay, Wen Li refused, saying, "It was just a casual divination; consider it repayment for the meal and clothes you gave me back then, Officer Liu."
That meal and those clothes made her believe that someone hadn't given up on her.
When has Officer Liu not saved her before?
——
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, tickets for "The Law of the Forest" went on sale at major cinemas at noon.
Thanks to Cynthia's positive word-of-mouth, the film grossed over 300 million yuan on its first day, and because it was released overseas first, it also received a very good response in China.
The ticket sales rate reached the point where tickets were impossible to get on the second day.
This is a scene that hasn't happened in many years!
Wen Li's acting skills still far surpass those of other actors released at the same time, and many casual viewers and fans have praised Wen Li and the female lead's acting skills to the skies.
But just as the box office was soaring, a discordant voice emerged.
Firstly, it's for the female lead, Si Ran; secondly, it's because of the supporting female character, Wen Li.
The female lead, Si Ran, is very controversial. After all, Si Ran had already retired from the entertainment industry, and her sudden return was suspected of being a money-grabbing scheme, which led to a lot of online abuse.
However, Si Ran reacted quickly, stating that she did not receive a single penny for the film, but the rumored multi-million dollar salary was donated by Cynthia to the wildlife conservation department in Wen Li's name.
Wen Li, on the other hand, is more controversial.
Because of Fang Mei.
Fang Mei harbored resentment after leaving the police station. She came to City A from Anxi and only realized how popular Wen Li was after seeing billboards for Wen Li all over the commercial street.
However, the cost of living in City A was high; even the cheapest hotel cost 200 yuan a night, and Fang Mei soon found herself homeless.
It just so happened that an internet celebrity spotted it and took a picture.
The internet celebrity initially thought Fang Mei looked like she had suffered some kind of trauma and ended up on the streets, but during the conversation, she discovered that Fang Mei spoke clearly and revealed a very shocking piece of information—she was the adoptive mother of the famous star Wen Li.
Whether out of righteous indignation or for the sake of gaining traffic, the internet celebrity edited the video and posted it online that same day.
Wen Li has become a sensation with her works "The Truth" and "The Law of the Forest," and is a frequent topic on short videos and Weibo's trending searches. Therefore, many people instinctively stop and listen whenever there is news about Wen Li.
Because Fang Mei's words corroborated their belief, everyone naturally accepted it.
Some people even went to Wen Li's company and sent her a box of dead rats.
After Zhou Xingyun discovered this, he immediately contacted the internet celebrity, hoping that she could take down the video. However, the internet celebrity felt that Wen Li was guilty and made another video about Fang Mei talking about Wen Li.
In the video, Fang Mei is now living in a clean house, which was rented for her by the internet celebrity. Her clothes are also brand new. Only her weathered eyes are heartbreaking to see.
During the interview, Fang Mei sounded helpless and sad, seemingly struggling with whether she should comment on Wen Li in this way.
“Wen Li was so small when I found her, I almost thought she wouldn’t survive, but she is a very strong child.”
"The following year I also had a baby, a little brother. Wen Li was probably spoiled for a year, so she was very resistant to the existence of her little brother. The three-year-old child often hit her little brother, and later she often stole things."
“I was very angry at the time and hit her because I felt it was wrong, but later Wenli always retaliated in an even more extreme way.”
“When he was six years old, she threw my younger brother into boiling water. By the time I heard him crying and rushed over, his back was already scalded red. I was furious and beat him very badly. Shortly after I took him to the hospital, the police arrested me.”
"That's when I found out that the child said I abused her, I..."
In the video, Fang Mei looked remorseful: "It's all my fault. I was so angry back then. I had to take care of two children by myself. My son was thrown into boiling water and now his back is covered in scars that I can't treat. So I did something wrong."
The online influencer off-camera asked, "What did the police do in the end?"
“I served six months in jail for abusing my child, and my son had to live with relatives.”
The release of this video caused an uproar.
The older sister often stole things, and her adoptive mother couldn't hit or scold her. In the end, the older sister threw her younger brother into boiling water, causing disfigurement on his back. The older sister then sued her adoptive mother.
Is this even human?!
In an instant, Wen Li's nearly 20 million followers plummeted, and her private messages and accounts on various platforms were flooded with abusive comments.
Tens of millions of comments in a single day.
Moreover, many familiar "villagers" are now acknowledging the facts Fang Mei has stated.
On set, Wen Li, dressed in a blue and red ancient costume, sat on a grand chair, leisurely holding an apple in one hand and a tablet in the other.
After watching Fang Mei's interview, Wen Li couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
Xiao Xi looked at Wen Li with concern and said cautiously, "Please don't look. Nowadays, netizens believe everything they hear. Don't get upset."
“How could that be?” Wen Li raised an eyebrow, her lips slightly upturned, but her eyes were actually cold: “I’m afraid of everything, but I’m not afraid of being slandered.”
