The big shot is trending on social media every day.

Chapter 21 A Big Shot!
Yu Xuanchen sighed: "Lili was too impulsive. She shouldn't have offended the media. She doesn't even know what those reporters will write about her after the press conference."

Madam Yu was actually pleased that Jiang Li was so foolish, making it easier to break off the engagement later.

After the press conference ended, her son had completely severed ties with Jiang Li.

……

All the cameras were pointed at the stage.

The reporter stared at Jiang Li and asked, "Did you really use drugs?"

Cheng Sijun's gaze swept over all the reporters, all of whom seemed to be watching a good show.

Just then, a reporter from Beicheng News Station suddenly stood up: "Ms. Jiang Li, a year ago, the Beicheng police issued a statement on their official Weibo account clarifying that you did not use drugs. Is that true?"

As soon as the words were spoken, all the entertainment reporters turned their incredulous gazes to the news reporters.

Is this person... helping Jiang Li?

Has the police issued a statement?
The group of reporters looked at each other.

Jiang Li smiled and looked in the direction of the news reporters: "Thank you for your attention, and thank you to the police for their clarification a year ago."

The wind direction suddenly changed, and discussions arose.

"Was it really clarified?" a reporter asked.

The other person shook his head and lowered his voice, saying, "I don't know. At the time, everyone just wanted to see Jiang Li leave the entertainment industry. Who would care about the truth?"

Back then, there were rumors that someone was using this opportunity to blacklist Jiang Li, and that the move was ruthless and swift. Naturally, the media reporters followed the story closely.

When Jiang Li falls from grace, everyone pushes him down; nobody cares about the truth.

"What truth? Use your brains! Jiang Li's matter has caused such a big stir, I don't believe the police don't know. If the police could help her clarify things a year ago, is it so difficult to send someone over to explain now?"

"That's right, isn't it obvious enough that they didn't send anyone over? Jiang Li is a drug addict!"

The chatter grew louder and louder.

Suddenly, an entertainment reporter stood up: "Ms. Jiang Li, the law clearly prohibits drug-using celebrities from making a comeback. Some of your irrational fans are still attacking others online. Before you leave the entertainment industry, please apologize to those fans who have been harmed!"

The news reporter frowned.

His words just now didn't help Jiang Li; instead, they solidified the evidence that Jiang Li was using drugs!

"The law does indeed strictly prohibit celebrities who have used drugs from making a comeback."

Just then, a clear and resonant male voice rang out.

All eyes turned to him, and a tall figure in a police uniform walked into the conference room.

……

Chu Yan was also watching the live stream.

Hearing the reporter's pointed questions and the insults from netizens in the live broadcast room, a smile appeared in his eyes.

If any celebrity is associated with the word "drug use," their acting career is essentially over.

As long as she keeps accusing Jiang of drug use, she won't be able to make a comeback.

So what if the police issued a clarification statement?

Since no one read the statement a year ago.

Does anyone still watch it now?

A celebrity with such a bad reputation as Jiang Li doesn't deserve for the Narcotics Control Bureau to send someone to a press conference.

The idea had just entered her mind when a uniformed policeman suddenly walked into the live stream.

Chu Yan sat up abruptly, staring intently at the tablet with wide eyes.

……

The man walked to the center of the front of the conference hall. He was tall, with a straight back, and wore a mask.

His sharp, strong features were hidden in the shadow of his hat brim.

To cover one's face.

He turned slightly to face all the reporters.

Xu Chuang looked around at all the media outlets and said, "On behalf of the Beicheng Narcotics Control Bureau, I am here to clarify something for Ms. Jiang Li. In the 418 drug-using case a year ago, Ms. Jiang Li did not show any signs of drug use in any of the tests. I would like to clarify this to the media and hope that you will not spread rumors."

His words were forceful and resounding, and his integrity was unwavering.

All the media cameras at the scene were pointed at Xu Chuang.

The man concealed his face, but the badge on his shoulder, indicating his police rank, made his identity crystal clear. All the reporters gasped.

This level...

Gao Zheng strode out of the lounge, his eyes wide with disbelief: "That's... the captain of the Narcotics Control Team?"

How could a big shot of this caliber appear?!
It's just to clear Jiang Li's name; any low-ranking police officer would have sufficed. There's no need to resort to any special measures...

Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?

Gao Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; his heart was pounding.

Qin Yichen was also quite surprised.

Xu Chuang is the youngest captain of the anti-drug brigade in history, and he also holds the honorary title of "First-Class Heroic Model".

This honorary title is almost always awarded posthumously.

It is easy to imagine how rare it is for Xu Chuang to be a living, walking "first-class hero and role model", and how much he has made great contributions!
In the police force of Beicheng, Xu Chuang was no different from a walking, glowing phoenix egg, highly favored by his superiors and with a bright future ahead of him.

Otherwise, the name wouldn't have reached Qin Yexiao and Qin Yichen.

Where did Jiang Li get such influence that Xu Chuang would personally come forward?

The captain of the Beicheng Narcotics Control Team appeared with a test report from a year ago, thus debunking the rumors about "drug-using female celebrity Jiang Li".

For a few seconds, the entire conference room was deathly silent.

Even the live stream chat was eerily empty, only displaying the accounts that kept pouring in.

at this time.

A comment suddenly appeared.

Even if Jiang Li didn't use drugs, her character doesn't qualify her to be a public figure; she should retire from the entertainment industry.

[That's right, celebrities need positive guidance, and Jiang Li doesn't deserve it at all.]

This result was within Cheng Sijun's expectations.

The person who orchestrated this negative news won't let Jiang Li off so easily.

Cheng Sijun's expression was cold and aloof.

Jiang Li told her not to waste money hiring a public relations team to control public opinion, saying that she could handle it herself.

Cheng Sijun glanced at the podium.

The big boss still maintained a lazy and nonchalant attitude.

This "whatever" attitude makes it seem like it can be resolved?

In the conference hall.

After a full ten seconds of deathly silence.

Another reporter changed the subject: "Ms. Jiang, you can clear your name about drug use, but what about the other scandals? How do you explain them? Public opinion is boycotting you, and you're only concerned with your own comeback, trying to drag the entire crew down with you. Isn't that too selfish?"

Xu Chuang frowned, his eyes filled with a cold indifference.

They're still targeting his ancestors.

……

Chu Yan observed that the public opinion in the live stream did not lean towards Jiang Li.

Even because of the reporter's question.

Fans of the other main actors in "Like a Dream" all appeared in the live stream, urging Jiang Li to voluntarily withdraw, leave their older brothers and sisters alone, and save face for herself.

Chu Yan felt relieved and leaned back against him.

Jiang Li has such a bad reputation that even after clarifying that he used drugs, no one buys it.

If she can't resolve this crisis, those capitalists who are still observing the public opinion will definitely stop asking her to act!

Jiang Li's dirty secrets are too numerous for her to explain, no matter how many mouths she has.

Chu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at the live stream room filled with curses.

Jiang Li slightly raised her dark eyes, looking directly at the camera. The curve of her lips was faint, and when she spoke, her voice was soft and slow: "Do you need an explanation?"

The reporter asked matter-of-factly, "Shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?"

The voice just fell.

The meeting room door was opened again.
