While being brought to the police station, Yuan Ranran’s assistant remembered how Yuan Ranran had pushed all the blame onto her to avoid responsibility. When faced with the police’s interrogation, she could not help but break down in fear and cry a few times. She intermittently told the police the truth about what Yuan Ranran had instructed her to do.

However, other than the video evidence, there was no evidence to prove that Yuan Ranran had instigated the incident. Therefore, even if there was the assistant’s statement, the police could only question Yuan Ranran, who maintained her innocence. Furthermore, with Fan Junchen’s guarantee, the result was that Yuan Ranran did not face any legal liability.

Although she had escaped legal liability, for the time being, this incident had already attracted the attention of the entire internet. From the moment Yuan Ranran was taken away by the police until she was released, the reporters were standing by the side. Not only did they take photos, but they also reported the incident.

This incident had a very bad impact on Yuan Ranran. Many netizens criticized Yuan Ranran, and her reputation collapsed into a complete mess. In Fan Junchen’s office, Yuan Ranran sat on the sofa, constantly wiping her tears. Her face was extremely haggard. She had just been released by the police. To avoid the media, Fan Junchen had brought her here.

Now, the public opinion on the internet towards her was very hostile. Everyone was criticizing her. Many of her fans had decided to stop supporting her, and many haters directly insulted her under her Weibo posts.

Fan Junchen looked at Yuan Ranran with a slight headache. However, seeing the woman he loved to have lost a lot of weight, and seeing her puffy eyes from the crying as well as her haggard look, he did not have the heart to criticize her anymore. He could only go up and hug Yuan Ranran in his arms. He gently patted her back and comforted her.

“It’s alright, don’t worry. Don’t cry anymore. Everything will be fine. I will stand by your side,” Fan Junchen comforted her gently. He gently used his fingers to wipe the tears off Yuan Ranran’s face.

“Junchen, there are so many people attacking me on the internet now. How am I going to turn things around?” Yuan Ranran wept.

“It’s fine. I will get the company to issue a statement,” Fan Junchen said.

The development and solution of this matter depended on who could act faster, thus Fan Junchen quickly got the company to issue a statement, stating that this matter had nothing to do with Yuan Ranran and the company was on Yuan Ranran’s side. On top of that, the company’s statement also stated that if anyone were to slander Yuan Ranran on the internet and post unfriendly comments, they would take legal measures to protect Yuan Ranran’s reputation.

As soon as this statement was released, although there were still a lot of people who had nothing nice to say about Yuan Ranran, no one went to her Weibo posts to leave snide comments. The situation was much better than before.

After Shen Que learned about this matter, she figured with how the company was strongly supporting Yuan Ranran, it was very likely that they would throw her out as cannon fodder when the timing was right. However, her contract was with Fan Junchen’s company, so if she didn’t want to follow his orders, she would probably have to bear a large amount of compensation.

If she had no choice but to compensate Fan Junchen, she would rather use the money to terminate the contract. Thus, Shen Que quickly announced on Weibo that she was terminating her contract with Fan Junchen’s company!

During this period, there were many Yuan Ranran’s haters as well as haters of Yuan Ranran’s company who were attacking Fan Junchen’s company on the internet. The moment they saw Shen Que’s announcement regarding the termination of her contract, they all sided with Shen Que and supported Shen Que’s decision. In an instant, Shen Que’s reputation soared.

Many netizens already had a good impression of Shen Que, thus with this, Shen Que attracted a large number of new fans. The termination of her contract became a trending topic on Weibo, and the film crew benefited from this as well..
