Wang Shen was still shouting and pursuing accountability for the matter. The horse trainer led his horse away with heartache, while Yuan Shu and the other two were analyzing who had done this.
The round head nail wasn’t big, so even if the horse went crazy, it still could have been tamed. They guessed that that person didn’t want to hurt Yuan Shu, but to teach her a lesson.
In that case, Jiang Chen had a guess. It was Song Shi.
Song Shi was arrogant and willful, so after suffering a loss at Jiang Chen’s hands, she would definitely do something drastic. It was hard to guarantee that she wouldn’t do something like putting a round head nail.
Jiang Chen clenched his fists. If it was really Song Shi, he would make her pay for what she had done!
At this moment, four people in suits suddenly walked into the set and asked Yuan Shu, “Hello, are you Yuan Shu?”
Yuan Shu looked at the four unfamiliar faces in confusion. “I am Yuan Shu.
Who are you guys? Why are you guys looking for me?”
The leader of the four took out his ID and showed it to Yuan Shu. “Hello, we’re employees of the city’s Industry and Commerce Bureau. We’ve received a report that you’re suspected of manipulating the share price of Xing’an Software Company. Please come back with us to cooperate with the investigation.” Stocks? Xingan Software Company?
This person said a string of terms that Yuan Shu had never heard before, baffling her.
Jiang Chen and Shi Xiao’s expressions darkened when they heard about Xing’an Software Company. It seemed that the two of them had a certain understanding of this company.
The two of them took a step forward tacitly and shielded Yuan Shu behind them.
Jiang Chen said, “You can take her away, but show us the evidence first.”
The people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau were firm. “We received an anonymous report, so we’re asking Yuan Shu to go back and cooperate with the investigation. If there’s no evidence, we definitely won’t detain her for no reason.”
Shi Xiao said, “You have to tell me how she manipulated the share price of Xing’an Software Company and what the suspected amount is.”
The people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau were already prepared. “Yuan Shu used the one million yuan in Shenglan Venture Investment Company’s account to manipulate the share price of Xing’an Software Company.”
Shenglan Venture Investment Company?
Yuan Shu knew that something had happened to Shi Bin. However, she trusted Shi Bin completely, which meant that something out of his control might have happened to him.
Yuan Shu knew that she hadn’t done anything wrong, so she wasn’t afraid of their investigation. Seeing that Jiang Chen and Shi Xiao still wanted to retort, she stood up and stopped them from continuing. She said to the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau, “I’ll go with you guys.”
“Yuan Shu!” Jiang Chen and Shi Xiao tried to stop her again.
Yuan Shu turned around and glanced at them. Then, she whispered to Shi Xiao, “Of course I’m not afraid of their investigation. Something might have happened to Shi Bin, so go and see him quickly.”
Shi Xiao had mixed feelings. At a time like this, she was actually concerned about the safety of others!
In order to reassure her, Shi Xiao could only nod and agree to let the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau take her away.
Shi Xiao and Jiang Chen watched her leave the set. There were even reporters taking photos at the door.
Jiang Chen called his bodyguard over and said coldly, “Don’t let a single word or photo of what happened today leak out from the set!”
The bodyguard immediately ran out to get busy. No one knew what he said, but these reporters handed over the memory cards in their cameras obediently and watched with heartache as the bodyguard destroyed all the memory cards.
As he watched Jiang Chen’s actions, Shi Xiao was full of doubt.
First, the incident of the horse being frightened and injuring people caused the reporters to gather outside the set. Then, the Industry and Commerce Bureau took Yuan Shu away, so the reporters could take the opportunity to report that Yuan Shu had broken the law.
These incidents were connected. It was obvious that someone wanted to ruin Yuan Shu’s reputation. However, what benefits would this bring to the mastermind?
The Shi family had many enemies, and the Jiang family was one of them, so Shi Xiao couldn’t help but suspect Jiang Chen, who was standing in front of him. However, seeing Jiang Chen’s concern for Yuan Shu and how he handled this matter, Shi Xiao doubted that he was the one who did it.
Noticing Shi Xiao’s gaze, Jiang Chen turned around and looked at him. His gaze was no longer as gentle as before.. His expression was very cold as he said, “If I were you, I would be thinking about how to save Yuan Shu instead of suspecting me here!”
