Chapter 753: Public Announcement
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
That night, Mei Shu slept well, but people online couldn’t sleep at all.
One breaking news after another kept them glued to their screens, forgetting about sleep altogether.
The incident caused by the mistake of the Mei Corporation at the competition venue was enough to dominate the hot searches online. But just when everyone was fervently demanding a response from the Mei family, another bombshell dropped.
It turned out that someone anonymously reported that the Ruan Group colluded with a director of the tax bureau to evade taxes.
While Mei Shu’s incident could be resolved with just an apology for a simple mistake, the Ruan family had potentially violated the law!
Suddenly, everyone’s attention shifted to the Ruan family.
Coincidentally, the police also issued two consecutive announcements, both related to the two parties!
The second announcement was also related to the two of them!
“The police received a report from the president of the Mei Corporation tonight at 8 o’clock. After investigation, evidence of intentional disruption of the competition order and infringement of private property has been found. The police have identified the suspects and will continue to publicly announce the investigation progress online.”
“The Economic Investigation Division received an anonymous report accusing the Ruan Group of tax evasion, bribery of officials, and other crimes. An investigation has been initiated.”
These two announcements instantly caused an uproar online.
User #1: “The Ruan family? Wasn’t the girl who performed the Swan Dance tonight named Ruan Ning? She just won second place, and now her family is exposed for tax evasion. Doesn’t that mean she is going to be canceled soon?” User “Lemon Sour”: “Why should they cancel my goddess? My goddess must be innocent!”
User “King of Scorn”: “I just checked it out. Ruan Ning also has a certain stake in the Ruan Group. That means if the Ruan Group is in trouble, Ruan Ning will definitely be implicated!”
Lemon Sour sent a crying emoji with the text, “Who would report at such a time? It must be intentionally targeting my goddess!”
King of Scorn replied to Lemon Sour, “You’re wrong. How can you say it’s targeting? If the Ruan family didn’t do anything wrong, even if they were anonymously reported, wouldn’t it be fine once the investigation clears things up?”
User “Xiao Tang”: “Let me tell you some insider information. 1 have a friend who was a staff member at the competition venue tonight. He secretly told me that the police report from the Mei Corporation is also related to the Ruan family!”
User #1: “Impossible, right? Infringement of private property? How could the Ruan family infringe on the private property of the Mei family?”
“I know about this!” Lemon Sour mentioned the news about the Mei Corporation tonight, immediately recounting it, “I just saw the news on another hot search. It turns out that the Mei Corporation deliberately used a batch of second-hand equipment to save money and increase profits. As a result, the machines malfunctioned, almost affecting Lin He’s performance!” User #1 suddenly realized, “You mean the sudden power outage incident! This Mei Shu dares to cut corners for the sake of money, even in such a major competition. Isn’t she afraid that no one will trust her in the future?”
Xiao Tang sent an angry emoji and said, “You guys know nothing! My friend who was at the scene said that President Mei didn’t even use second-hand equipment. All the equipment used was new! They reported to the police this time to find out who deliberately sabotaged the machines!”
King of Scorn replied to Little Tang’s message, “It seems like your friend knows a lot? Tell us more secrets!”
Xiao Tang sent a smug smiley face and said, “I can’t say more! Anyway, everything is still inconclusive. Don’t attack the wrong person and let others use you as a tool!”
After posting this message, Tang Mei happily went to wash off her face mask and lay down on her bed.
Naturally, not everyone completely believed her words. Half of the people online were skeptical, while the other half trusted her implicitly. Some even deliberately messaged her to get more firsthand information.
Tang Mei ignored all of them, allowing the situation to continue to escalate. Just when people online were arguing fiercely for or against the Mei family and the Ruan family, an official account managed by the other people of the Mei family suddenly posted an announcement to distance themselves from Mei Shu.

They claimed that Mei Shu had recently signed an agreement to separate from the Mei family, so Mei Shu’s actions had nothing to do with the other people of the Mei family.
This announcement was instantly reposted millions of times by netizens and, alongside the first two topics, made its way to the top of the trending list.
The supporters who were on Ruan Ning’s side now had even more confidence.
“I told you Mei Shu is not a good person! Now even the Mei family doesn’t want her. Yet you’re still licking up to her. I really don’t know what’s so trustworthy about her. Business people can do anything for money! Unlike our goddess Ruan Ning, she’s absolutely incapable of doing anything illegal!”
“The police haven’t reached a final conclusion yet. Aren’t you afraid of being proven wrong by saying that?” Tang Mei saw this comment and angrily joined the army of supporters fighting for the Mei family, “Innocent? 1 doubt it! Don’t forget, Ruan Ning also has shares in the company.. She’s also a businesswoman!”
