Chapter 85: Upon learning the situation, Jiang Xinlan also decided to go to Beijing.
A person cannot simply disappear into thin air and then reappear in this world out of thin air.
Unless, of course, his background is so obscure that even he can't find out about it, or he's been using a fake identity from the very beginning.
Otherwise, no matter how well you hide, you will still leave traces of your life.
There will also be records online, both financially and otherwise.
It is impossible for a person to go without eating or drinking, without spending a penny for six years, without going online, without appearing under any cameras, and without interacting with anyone.
"Continue the investigation." Liu Qingxuan's voice turned cold.
"We'll dig three feet into the ground to find out everything about him."
"Yes, Master!" Chen Mo bowed and replied, then turned and left.
Liu Qingxuan looked out the window towards Jiangcheng, his fingers suddenly tightening.
Shen Yu, who exactly are you?
*
Yunjingtai Villa.
The two children were fast asleep, and only a warm yellow bedside lamp was on in the bedroom.
Jiang Xinlan leaned against the headboard, flipping through the finished product of "The Wind Rises in Chang'an". Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the screen, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes held a hint of undisguised disappointment.
Although the production company didn't dare tell her directly about the two rejections during the review process, she still learned the whole story from her assistant.
She really put a lot of effort into this drama and had high hopes for it.
Now that the review process is indefinitely delayed and the show cannot be broadcast, one can only imagine the grievances and distress she feels.
After Shen Yu finished showering, he saw her looking sullen. He walked to the bedside, sat down, and pulled her into his arms, whispering:
"Still thinking about the approval process?"
Jiang Xinlan leaned against him, nodded, and said in a muffled voice:
"Yeah. I just don't understand why our content was still rejected even though we've rectified everything as required, without even a specific reason."
"Because someone doesn't want this show to air, doesn't want you to become famous, and doesn't want more people to see you."
Shen Yu didn't hide anything from her and calmly told her the whole story.
"The people who fabricated rumors about you six years ago, tampered with the wire work on set, and were the masterminds who sent Zhao Ergou to Jiangcheng to kill us before—they're all in Beijing. They're also responsible for this censorship issue. They're afraid that if you become famous, more people will see it, and they'll ruin your career."
Jiang Xinlan suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with astonishment:
"People from Beijing? I've never been to Beijing, and I don't know anyone there. Why are they treating me like this?"
"Because you're blocking someone's way."
Shen Yu gently rubbed her hair, not immediately telling her the secret of her background. He didn't want to subject her to a sudden blow that would overturn her life when she was eagerly anticipating the broadcast of her work.
Moreover, we don't know what the situation is like with the Jiang family, and we don't know if it's good or bad.
He will reveal everything once he has investigated thoroughly and everything is clear.
Gently tightening his arms around her, Shen Yu stroked her hair to comfort her.
"I will investigate the details of the whole affair and tell you everything. The most important thing now is that the source of this is Beijing, and there's no way to hide from it. I will go to Beijing tomorrow to settle everything once and for all, and make those who harmed you pay the price they deserve."
Jiang Xinlan stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then reached out and tightly grasped his hand, her eyes resolute, without the slightest hesitation: "I'll go with you."
"Xinlan..."
"I'm not afraid," Jiang Xinlan interrupted him, her tone leaving no room for argument.
"This whole thing started because of me, and I can't let you face all that danger and trouble alone. Shen Yu, I'm not just a caged bird that you can only protect behind you. I can face it with you. Even if I can't be of much help, I still want to be by your side."
Looking at the determination and stubbornness in her eyes, Shen Yu's heart softened, and he finally nodded, lowering his head to place a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Okay, we'll go together. But you have to promise me that once we get to Beijing, no matter what happens, you'll stay by my side and never leave my sight, okay?"
"Okay!" Jiang Xinlan nodded immediately, leaning against him. The anxiety that had been hanging over her for several days instantly subsided.
She knew that as long as Shen Yu was there, even if the sky fell, someone would hold it up for her.
Having finalized their decision to go to Beijing together, the two cuddled for a long time. Jiang Xinlan gently stroked the hem of Shen Yu's clothes with her fingertips, then suddenly remembered something, looked up at him, and had a hint of concern in her eyes.
"What about Niannian and Guigui? The situation in Beijing is unclear, and the people behind it are ruthless. I'm always afraid they'll be in danger with two children."
Shen Yu lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, his tone reassuring and reassuring:
"I was just about to tell you about this. Beijing is a dangerous place, and it's not suitable for the child to travel with us. It would be better to leave him with his parents for a few days. They love the child and are very attentive, so we can rest assured."
Jiang Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded heavily.
The next morning, the two took their two children to see Jiang Jianping.
As soon as they entered the door, Niannian rushed into Su Hui's arms with her short legs and called out "Grandma" in a soft and sweet voice. Guigui followed behind and respectfully called out "Grandpa and Grandma".
Su Hui smiled broadly, picked up her granddaughter, and Jiang Jianping also held his grandson's hand affectionately, warmly inviting them to sit down.
After they were seated, Shen Yu spoke first, briefly explaining his plans to go to Beijing.
"Uncle and Aunt, the situation in Beijing is complicated this time, and it will be inconvenient to bring the children along. We are also worried about the dangers. We would like to trouble you to take care of Niannian and Guigui for the next few days."
"What's the trouble!"
Su Hui immediately responded, hugging Niannian in her arms even tighter, her face full of heartache.
"Don't worry, go and take care of your business. The children are perfectly safe with us. Your uncle and I will take excellent care of them, ensuring they eat well, sleep well, and that not a single hair on their head will be missing."
Jiang Jianping quickly nodded in agreement:
"That's right! You can go to Beijing with peace of mind. We'll take care of things at home. We raised Xinlan from a young age, and we love both children dearly. We absolutely won't let anything go wrong."
Jiang Xinlan reached out and grasped Su Hui's hand: "Dad, Mom, thank you for your hard work."
"Silly child, why are you telling your parents how hard it is?" Su Hui patted her hand and said with a smile.
The next step was to comfort the two children.
When Niannian heard that her parents were going on a long trip without her and her younger brother, her little mouth immediately trembled, her eyes reddened, and she reached out to tug at Shen Yu's clothes, her little voice trembling with tears:
"Daddy, Mommy, where are you going? Niannian wants to go with you too. Niannian doesn't want to be separated from Mommy and Daddy."
Although Gui Gui didn't cry, she pursed her lips, frowned, and held Jiang Xinlan's fingers tightly with her little hands, her eyes full of reluctance.
