After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 453 - 448: Shen Ning’s Faltering
Chapter 453: Chapter 448: Shen Ning’s Faltering
After the Shen Family fell out with the research institute, the path ahead was completely blocked.
The people who knew what Jian Yu had done, who would dare come forward? Was it not seeking death?
The one who orchestrated this situation was Qi Si, pushing from behind, ensuring that the Shen Family could not touch anything.
He was also secretly keeping an eye on those people, taking them down whenever he had the chance.
Both parties acted so secretly that even if someone disappeared, no one would notice.
Jian Yu had been waiting for her own people to act, but she had not been able to see the result she wanted and remained detained quietly in that place.
After the Zhai family had completed Zhai Xilan’s funeral, they mobilized manpower to investigate the ins and outs of the entire matter. The police results were one thing, but there were truths they had to investigate themselves.
Chi Boyuan had returned to the south to deal with the documents he had called back, so he asked Ouyang Lin to help keep an eye on things.
Wang Jue and Du Yundan had not directly interfered in this matter. If Qi Si and Zhai Hongshen needed assistance, they would definitely reach out to them.
Their main task was to watch for a fallout between Qi Si and Zhai Hongshen.
By stopping the collision between these two men, they could prevent the subsequent troubles that shouldn’t arise.
With such a big incident, they were also curious as to how Shen Yan could remain so calm.
Shen Yan was not calm, she knew the outcome.
The death of Zhai Xilan did not surprise her; those who offended certain people often had their fates sealed early on.
They wanted to use Zhai Xilan’s death to smear dirt on her and Qi Si’s heads, but didn’t consider—if she and Qi Si were really so easy to deal with, would Jian Yu be trapped within the country?
Today is such a clear and sunny day!
Shen Yan’s movie premiere was incredibly successful, becoming explosively popular in just two short days!
Shen Yan’s popularity had risen several levels!
Seeing more and more Fireworks fans joining, Shen Yan was also very happy!
The online prize draw had already begun, and Qi Si had arranged for several dozen tons of fruit to be given away, all of which could be stored for longer periods.
The Fireworks fans were ecstatic these last few days!
Receiving gifts from Shen Yan, how could they not be thrilled?
Shen Yan’s clever move had attracted a large number of passersby.
Bai Zhong had previously wanted to ban her, but looking at the current momentum, it was utterly futile.
On the day of the premiere, many celebrities helped promote Shen Yan’s movie, and there were online promotions with Li Yanbai as well.
With the quality of the movie being so good, both fans and general audiences were willing to step out and promote it.
More and more people went to the theaters, and everyone gave positive reviews after watching the film.
Though there were deliberate attempts to disparage Shen Yan’s movie, these were all trivial matters without serious harm.
The success of the movie had Zhang Yu and others calling to congratulate first, with Qin Dingyue being the most excited, more than for her own success!
Hearing Qin Dingyue’s voice, it was clear she had broken free from the gloom of a broken heart.
"Yanyan, I’ll be in Shen City soon, and we must get together," she said.
"Sure."
"Then it’s settled!" Qin Dingyue laughed heartily. "I see lots of praise online for Chu Jinghe. Is she trying to redeem her image with this movie?"
"I’m not sure."
Qin Dingyue switched topics the next second. "Let’s not talk about her. Yanyan, I heard from Sister Zhang Yu and the others—you and Mr. Qi actually have that kind of relationship! You’ve made it very hard for me to guess!"
"...I haven’t pretended anything in front of you." She had simply never mentioned it.
Qin Dingyue, remembering their first meeting when Shen Yan was living with Qi Si under the same roof, fell silent.
At that time, Shen Yan indeed had not disguised anything, bringing him directly into her home to live, and perhaps even to sleep together.
It was her fault for thinking otherwise then.
But she was still shocked when she found out about it.
"I don’t care, you have to make it up to me!"
"He’s not in Shen City, he’s got some things to deal with in Beijing lately, but as soon as he returns to Shen City, I’ll definitely arrange it."
"Then, it’s a deal!" Qin Dingyue started smiling happily again.
Shen Yan thought Qin Dingyue was fine like this and did not ask her about Ouyang Lin anymore.

Shen Ning had been in a state of internal struggle since leaving the hotel that day.
After hesitating for two days, she made a call to Shen Feng.
Over there, Shen Feng’s voice sounded very weary, "Anning, is there some issue with Bai Zhong?"
"Bai Zhong has recovered, it’s the Bai Family that has suffered some blows," Shen Ning paused and then said, "But they can handle these matters."
Shen Feng couldn’t afford to worry about the Bai Family at the moment; the Shen Family was facing some troubles that he needed to sort out urgently.
"Brother," Shen Ning hesitantly asked, "Do you know the exact nature of mom and dad’s research abroad?"
Shen Feng was startled on the other end, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"I’m just curious; if we could understand it clearly, maybe we could clear mom’s name," Shen Ning dared not admit she was shaken by what Shen Yan had said.
Shen Feng’s expression turned somber, "You know some research is confidential, even if you want to understand, it requires authorization."
"I know, just asking randomly, nothing else."
"Anning, are you hiding something from me? Did you run into Shen Yan?" Shen Feng knew Shen Yan was in Shen City.
Shen Ning forced a smile, "No."
"No need to hide it from me. One of the reasons you went to Shen City is because of Shen Yan. What exactly did she say to you?" Shen Feng began to worry about Shen Ning’s situation.
"We just met briefly, nothing was said," Shen Ning didn’t want to talk about Shen Yan with Shen Feng.
"Don’t meet her alone, Anning, you’re no match for her," Shen Feng’s voice deepened, "The incident in Beijing, it’s most likely related to her, so before that, don’t easily meet with her."
"I know," Shen Ning hung up the phone with a grave expression.
Even her brother wasn’t clear.
Why had Shen Yan said that?
Did Shen Yan know something?
She should have asked for clarity that day.
Now here she was, guessing around and nothing was resolved.

"Shen Yan, you’re amazing! Another blockbuster movie!" Just arriving at school, Shen Yan continuously received congratulations from her classmates!
Shen Yan thanked them all the way to the large classroom.
Lin Shuangxu immediately came over, "Shen Yan, you’re so incredible! We watched it the day before yesterday, you were really great!"
"Thank you! Did you watch it with Zhou Yan?"
Lin Shuangxu’s face turned red, "Yeah."
"You two are making quick progress."
"Not that quick..." Lin Shuangxu murmured and then tugged at Shen Yan’s sleeve, "Lately, we haven’t been paying attention to the online incident. I got a call from Ji Yao early this morning saying that recently, a number of overseas hackers have attempted to attack Shencheng University. Luckily, Ji Yao and the others discovered it in time and stopped them. Do you think it could be the same people from before?"
Shen Yan truly hadn’t been paying attention to this area; hearing Lin Shuangxu bring it up, Shen Yan thought of the base.
An idea flashed in her mind, and Shen Yan suddenly furrowed her brows.
Could it be that the base’s hackers were collectively targeting the evidence detrimental to Jian Yu?
Shen Yan stood up and left the classroom.
"Hey, where are you going, Shen Yan?"
"Bathroom."
