Chapter 411: Intricate and Complex
Zhan Yanxun exuded a chilling aura, suppressing all the reporters, who dared not utter a sound.
Su Mengyu stood behind Zhan Yanxun, the man who had protected her amidst the danger and despair of her life when she was in peril.
The man who stood up for her when she was being slandered seemed to be different from what she had imagined.
"Get them all out!"
Zhan Yanxun spoke coldly, and the security guards stepped forward, pushing the reporters away.
Qiao Weiwei stood to the side, gritting her teeth in hatred.
She was already furious that Su Mengyu escaped unscathed during the kidnapping, and now she had meticulously planned to ruin her reputation, but Zhan Yanxun actually stepped in to protect her.
Who does she think she is, that Zhan Yanxun would protect her?
She absolutely will not let this go!
At this moment, Gu Xunjing also arrived.
Su Mengyu's photos exploded online like a nuclear bomb.
Sui Sui told him to come find Su Mengyu as soon as possible. He had received news that a large number of reporters were rushing to the Zhan Group, clearly targeting Su Mengyu.
He rushed over, and when he arrived, the reporters were being driven away by security guards. Gu Xunjing walked through the crowd to Su Mengyu.
"Su Mengyu, how are you? Are you alright?"
Looking at Gu Xunjing, Su Mengyu was still a little scared and trembled all over.
"Brother Xunjing".
Su Mengyu threw herself into Gu Xunjing's arms. Having just experienced a kidnapping and now having her photos leaked and circulated online, Su Mengyu's mental state had truly collapsed.
Gu Xunjing reassured him, "It's alright, I'm here. Let's go."
Su Mengyu followed Gu Xunjing away, but Zhan Yanxun acted as if nothing had happened, turning around and leaving in the opposite direction.
Su Mengyu turned to look at Zhan Yanxun, but Zhan Yanxun did not turn to look at her.
Gu Xunjing helped Su Mengyu into the car and said to her, "I've already asked someone to take down those photos online, but quite a few people have seen them. The public opinion is still escalating, but don't be afraid. No matter what, the Su family still has me, and we'll get through this with you."
Su Mengyu's face turned pale, and she just nodded blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
Gu Xunjing said, "It's okay, it will pass."
Su Mengyu nodded, then looked at Gu Xunjing and said, "Brother Xunjing, thank you for coming to me even though you know I'm going through something painful. Even though I did something wrong, you still treat me like your little sister."
Gu Xunjing said, "From childhood to adulthood, I have always regarded you as my own sister. If you don't hurt Sui Sui, I will continue to regard you as my own sister."
Su Mengyu smiled, then suddenly grabbed Gu Xunjing's arm and leaned against him like she did when they were little, saying, "Brother Xunjing, don't worry. I know how you feel about Jiang Qianhui. I won't make things difficult for her anymore, and I won't do anything foolish."
Su Mengyu leaned on Gu Xunjing, just like when she was a child, he was still her Xunjing brother.

JC Group
Jiang Qianhui asked worriedly, "Have you found Su Mengyu?"
Gu Xunjing said, "We found her and have already sent her back to the Su family."
How is she feeling right now?
"good."
Jiang Qianhui breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, and asked in confusion, "All the kidnappers were arrested by the police that day. Zhan Yanxun smashed the camera on the spot. How did those photos get leaked?"
Jiang Qianhui felt extremely guilty; how could she have been so careless? She had been negligent because the police were present. Su Mengyu was a girl, and the leak of those photos was a huge blow to her.
Hu Xunjing said, "Based on the initial investigation, it was determined that a junior employee of the police station copied it and sold it at a high price."
"Why didn't he just go to the Su family? He could probably get even more money from them."
"The other party might not dare to directly approach the Su family. That would easily expose themselves."
“You’re right, but who did he actually sell these photos to? I still think that person was just a scapegoat. Someone must have approached him and asked him to copy those photos. The person who bought the photos was probably the one who planned to kidnap Su Mengyu.”
Gu Xunjing asked doubtfully, "Isn't the person who plotted to kidnap Su Mengyu the Green Dragon Gang?"
“If this hadn’t happened, I would have thought it was the Green Dragon Gang kidnapping and extortion, but now I feel that this matter is not simple. I feel that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes, and that they have a lot of power.”
In her previous life, Jiang Qianhui didn't know who had kidnapped Su Mengyu. This was because the Su family hadn't found the culprit, which showed that the person wielded considerable power.
"Sui Sui, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Jiang Qianhui nodded and said, "Now we need to think of a way to help Su Mengyu clear her name."
"Zhan Yanxun has already cleared things up for her."
"Zhan Yanxun?" Jiang Qianhui was slightly taken aback. "I didn't expect him to do something decent. But how exactly did he know that Su Mengyu had been kidnapped that day, and how did he manage to rescue her before we did?"
Jiang Qianhui suddenly felt that the situation was complicated, like a tangled web, but she couldn't see into it.
What is the truth behind this?
Who exactly is orchestrating all of this?
……
Because of Zhan Yanxun, the media reporters dared not write anything recklessly and reported the facts. Therefore, everyone knew that Su Mengyu was not violated because of Zhan Yanxun's heroic rescue, which preserved Su Mengyu's innocence.
The events of that night, filled with sword fights and danger, became known to everyone, and for a time, everyone praised Zhan Yanxun's bravery.
Because of this incident, Su's parents also personally thanked Zhan Yanxun.
"President Zhan, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my daughter's life would be ruined."
Xie Qingyi said with a beaming smile, "No need to apologize. These are things my son should do. Besides, I like Su Mengyu too. It would be wonderful if our two families could become in-laws."
The Su family parents smiled upon hearing this. Zhan Yanxun and Jiang Qianhui were divorced, and although this was his second marriage, Zhan Yanxun was exceptionally talented. Since taking over the Zhan Group at the age of eighteen, he had dominated the business world, unmatched by anyone.
Previously, their daughter had always liked Gu Xunjing, so they didn't consider anyone else. Now, Zhan Yanxun is indeed the son-in-law they prefer.
Su Mengyu didn't say anything, she just sat quietly and listened to the conversation between the two sets of parents.
Zhan Yanxun coldly said to Xie Qingyi, "It's just a small matter, are you really going to force her to repay you with her body?"
