1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

After giving his statement at the police station, it was already past midnight. The victim had been settled in the dormitory at the back by two women.

Little Dumpling knew Wen Li was leaving, and looked at her with reluctance. Her big, wet eyes softened Wen Li's heart even more.

"You're safe now. The police will find your family and have them come to take you home. Be a good boy/girl here, okay?"

The little dumpling nodded obediently, then left with a female comrade, staring at Wen Li as he left, as if trying to etch her into his mind.

Only after the little dumpling disappeared around the corner did Wen Li follow Lu Zechuan out of the police station.

Everyone had a bicycle, so getting back was easy.

Just as the group was about to leave, Jiang Yue'er and several of her brothers from the Jiang family came out as well.

Jiang Yue'er glanced at Lu Zechuan, whose face was pale, but finally turned her gaze to Su Hao.

"Young Su, we don't have bicycles. Can we ride with you back?"

Su Hao looked at Wen Li with a questioning gaze. Wen Li glanced at Jiang Yue'er and then nodded in agreement.

It doesn't matter if she offends Jiang Yue'er, but she doesn't want Su Hao and the others to offend Jiang Yue'er too much.

In the original book, Su Hao was crippled by Jiang Yue'er's admirer because he accidentally offended Jiang Yue'er. She had a cheat code, but Su Hao and his friends didn't. It was best not to offend her if possible.

On the way back, Wen Li sat on the back of Lu Zechuan's bicycle, saying, "It's a pity my bicycle is stolen!"

"I'll go to the police station again tomorrow to see if they can find it. If they really can't find it, we'll use Su Hao's for now, and I'll go get another bicycle ticket!"

"No need, I have plenty of industrial vouchers, enough to buy a new bicycle!"

She had plenty of money and coupons. Most bicycles these days were 28-inch, and buying a 26-inch bicycle required luck. She certainly didn't want to ride a 28-inch bicycle.

"Then I'll go look for one more time. If I can't find one, I'll buy a new one!"

"Okay, were you scared today?"

Lu Zechuan paused, wondering why Wen Li had changed the subject so quickly.

"Thank goodness, I know you're amazing, you'll be fine!"

Xu Yuan (in the back): Who was walking with trembling hands back then?

"Hehe, I think I'm pretty awesome too!" Wen Li said she was awesome, but she was still a little scared. She didn't know where she got the courage from.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around Lu Zechuan's waist, as if only then could she feel that she had escaped.

Lu Zechuan felt the hands wrapped around his waist, and the corners of his lips slightly turned up. He tightly gripped Wen Li's hand with his left hand.

Feeling the warmth of Lu Zechuan's hand, Wen Lixin felt much more at ease. The two had held hands all the way, and now that it was dark outside and no one could see them, they no longer had any concerns.

Back at the educated youth compound, candles were still lit in the backyard.

Chen Jiahao and the others returned first to inform Chen Yan. Knowing that Wen Li was out of danger, Chen Yan went to the kitchen and steamed a lot of buns.

After all, everyone went to look for Wenli without having dinner today, and everyone is still hungry!

As soon as Wen Li returned, she saw Chen Yan waiting at the door.

Seeing Wen Li, Chen Yan's eyes were still a little red. "You, how come you almost got kidnapped after just one trip? Aren't you usually quite smart?"

Although his words were reproachful, his tone was caring.

I'm sorry to have worried you!

"Come inside and have something to eat. I steamed a big pot of buns; you should eat some before going back to rest!"

Su Hao and the others then realized that they had been busy for so long and hadn't eaten yet!

During the meal, Wen Li told everyone how Jiang Yue'er had schemed against her, and of course, she didn't forget to mention the fact that the two of them had temporarily cooperated.

Since Jiang Yue'er dared to do it, she shouldn't be blamed for publicizing what she did.

After hearing this, Chen Yan immediately launched into a tirade, cursing Jiang Yue'er's ancestors for eighteen generations before her anger gradually subsided.

After dinner, it was already past 3 a.m. Everyone was exhausted from the day, so they went back to their rooms to wash up and then went to sleep.

The next day, Wen Li took the day off and did not go to work. The village had already heard about what happened yesterday, but Jiang Yue'er did not mention at all that she wanted to drag Wen Li into it.

Instead, they openly and subtly accused Wen Li of failing to save a life!

For a time, everyone in the village accused Wen Li of being cold-blooded, and Wen Li's reputation was ruined. Even with Chen Yan and the others helping to explain, no one believed her. The villagers were prejudiced and only believed Jiang Yue'er's words.

Wen Li rested for a day before going to work. As soon as she stepped out of the educated youth compound, someone rolled their eyes at her.

Several women were gossiping behind her back about how vicious she was.

Chen Yan was so angry that she wanted to go up and argue with her, but Wen Li immediately grabbed her wrist.

"Don't be impulsive, I'll handle this!"

"They only believe Jiang Yue'er, and there were no witnesses at the time. How do you plan to resolve this?"

Wen Li grinned mischievously, leaned close to Chen Yan's ear, and whispered a few words. Chen Yan listened, then asked uncertainly, "Will this work?"

"Of course, the way to resolve a rumor is to create an even more sensational one!"

Wen Li had witnessed countless mindless online attacks on Weibo in her past life. Even if the person involved presented evidence, many people would only believe what they believed and would always find new points of rebuttal to prove that they were right. So explanations were useless, especially since she had no evidence.

Since Jiang Yue'er dares to talk nonsense, why can't she?

It's just mutual harm!

In the afternoon, rumors suddenly spread in the village that Jiang Yue'er was targeted by human traffickers because she had long been in cahoots with them. She deliberately lured the traffickers to capture Wen Li, intending to sell her.

However, she angered the human traffickers because of a dispute over the division of the spoils. Fearing that she would report them to the police, the traffickers decided to go all the way and tied her up as well.

Otherwise, how do you explain why Jiang Yue'er didn't ask for help when she was in the commune, but instead kept chasing after Wen Li?

Although this rumor is a bit exaggerated, quite a few people still believe it.

The villagers were prone to believing rumors, and before the workday even ended, the news had spread throughout the entire village.

"Wen, is what everyone's saying true? Does Yue'er really know those human traffickers?"

Wen Li's face was still filled with surprise and doubt. "Auntie, I really don't know. I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things, and when I came out, I saw Comrade Jiang go into a small alley. A little while later, she came chasing after me with three fierce-looking men!"

"Many people saw it. Comrade Jiang and I never got along. I was terrified and could only run for my life. Who knew they would chase me all the way outside the commune and still not give up!"

"I just felt someone hit me from behind, so I fell off my bicycle, and then they caught up with me!"

As Wen Li spoke, her face grew paler and paler. To make it seem more real, she secretly pinched her thigh, using only half her strength, and the pain made her break out in a cold sweat.
