"Perhaps the traffic wasn't as high as it is now, but live-streaming should have been earning me some money back then. Besides, my fans all know that the money I earned before went towards paying off debts. Even if I continue to film videos of myself delivering food and enduring hardship, it won't be considered a persona collapse," Shen Chenggang said. "Once my financial situation improves, I'll switch to a different approach."
Shen Mianyin nodded, relieved that Shen Chenggang had a plan.
At the Su residence.
Su Jianye had been waiting for a reply for a long time. Mrs. Su was getting anxious and asked for the fourth time, "How is it? Still no news from them?"
"No," Su Jianye was already irritated, and being pressed by Mrs. Su only made him more annoyed. "Can you stop asking?"
Mrs. Su pursed her lips and said, "What exactly is the situation now? They should at least give us some feedback. Not saying anything leaves us in the dark about the progress."
"Why don't you just call and ask?" Mrs. Su urged.
"If I call, what if I expose myself?" Su Jianye said impatiently.
"We can't just keep waiting like this, either," Mrs. Su retorted, displeased. Every time she asked Su Jianye to do something, he would always make excuses and push it aside. It was really difficult.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Aunt Yang, who was tidying up in the kitchen, came out and went to the entryway.
After opening the door, Aunt Yang hurried back and said, "Sir, Madam, it's the police."
"The police?" Mrs. Su stood up abruptly. Because of what they had done, she instinctively felt guilty and looked nervously at Su Jianye. "What are the police doing here so late?"
"I've already opened the door for them," Aunt Yang said. "After all, they are the police. There's no use hiding."
Su Jianye also got up. After a short while, the doorbell rang again.
The police had already crossed the courtyard and arrived at the villa's main door.
Aunt Yang opened the door, and the police entered and asked, "Which one of you is Su Jianye?"
"I am," Su Jianye replied, trying to appear calm.
"We received a report that you are involved in a kidnapping case," the police said. "Please come with us."
Mrs. Su quickly stepped forward and asked nervously, "Could...could there be a mistake?"
"We are decent people, well-known figures in society. How could we do such a thing?" Mrs. Su said.
The police said sternly, "Whether there's a mistake or not will be clear after investigation. We won't wrong an innocent person, but we won't let a criminal go free either."
This matter couldn't possibly be resolved by a few words from Mrs. Su, allowing Su Jianye to stay.
Su Jianye could only instruct Mrs. Su, "Contact a lawyer."
Mrs. Su nodded distractedly, watching as Su Jianye was taken away.
After the door closed, Mrs. Su immediately vented her anger on Aunt Yang, "How could you open the door directly without even telling us? Even if they were the police, you should have informed us first."
"Yes," Aunt Yang thought to herself, *You can't escape anyway. If the police want to arrest you, you can hide for a day, but you can't hide forever.*
But Mrs. Su felt that if they could delay for a couple of days, they could at least figure something out.
Mrs. Su hastily called Attorney Song, asking him to go to the police station and get Su Jianye out.
Attorney Song was silent for a moment and then said, "Mrs. Su, tell me the truth. How deeply is Mr. Su involved in this matter?"
Mrs. Su was about to say that Su Jianye was innocent, but Attorney Song, having seen too many similar cases, spoke first, "You have to tell me the truth so I can help Mr. Su. Otherwise, if the police have solid evidence and I'm unprepared..."
"Simply proclaiming innocence won't save Mr. Su," Attorney Song said.
Only then did Mrs. Su tell Attorney Song the truth.
Attorney Song was silent for a moment and then said, "I understand. I'll go to the police station right away."
"Also, Mrs. Su, you should immediately contact Su's public relations department," Attorney Song reminded her. "This matter must be suppressed, otherwise Su Corporation will be greatly affected."
Mrs. Su didn't usually pay much attention to the company's affairs, but after Attorney Song's reminder, she immediately understood why.
After hanging up the phone, she immediately contacted Su Corporation's public relations department.
Some of the PR staff were having dinner with their boyfriends, some were on dates watching movies, and some were out playing with their children.
At this moment, they all grumbled and took out their laptops from their bags, starting to work.
But even so, the news of Su Jianye being taken to the police station still leaked out.
After all, with Gu Huaizhi following up on this matter, how could he allow Su Corporation to suppress this scandal?
Su Jianye being put into the police car and then getting out of the police car at the police station were all photographed.
The next day, a marketing account posted a message without naming names but with a very strong implication, saying that the boss of a well-known listed company was taken to the police station for questioning overnight, suspected of being involved in kidnapping crimes.
At first, netizens naturally didn't know who it was, but the marketing account narrowed the scope, saying it was a company in the capital.
Immediately afterward, another marketing account released a set of photos.
Using the excuse that they were taken by a passerby, they were exactly the pictures of Su Jianye getting out of the police car and being taken into the police station.
Now, when netizens connected the dots, they linked the two things together.
[Kidnapping crime? Who did he kidnap?]
[Could it be Shen Chenggang? Shen Chenggang has been live-streaming and exposing the Su family's affairs these past few days.]
[Right, they spent all their family fortune to treat the Su family's newly recognized daughter, and now they are even 3 million in debt, but the Su family refuses to pay back.]
[Su Corporation's stock already hit the daily limit down yesterday.]
[Don't even mention it, as soon as the market opened today, Su Corporation's stock plummeted and hit the daily limit down again.]
[Is Shen Chenggang alright? When he first exposed the Su family's affairs, he said that if one day he couldn't be contacted...]
[I don't know, he hasn't started his live stream today. But he usually starts at 11:30 AM.]
Su Corporation didn't expect that even with the PR department working overnight to suppress the news, they still couldn't stop the matter from becoming known all over the internet.
At 11:30 AM, Shen Chenggang started his live stream on time.
Seeing that he was alright, the fans were all relieved.
[That's great, buddy, you're okay. With the news today that Su Jianye is involved in kidnapping, I thought he had done something to you.]
Seeing the fans' messages, Shen Chenggang said, "Sorry, I was busy delivering food this morning and didn't check the comments. I just saw my friends' messages before starting the live stream, so I'll explain everything to everyone here."
"I was indeed kidnapped last night, but fortunately, someone found me and I was rescued in time," Shen Chenggang said. "As for who saved me, I can't tell you. The case isn't over yet. Although the mastermind is being investigated, as long as he hasn't been convicted, he could still pose a threat to my benefactor. I can't put my benefactor in danger, so I have to keep it a secret for now."
【That's right, Su Jianye is very likely to retaliate.】
【This kind of person has no sense of right and wrong. It must be kept secret.】
【So, it really was Su Jianye?】
