Chapter 98: Jiang Sui Was Gambling With His Life

As Jiang Sui led Xuanxuan offstage, she lifted the little girl into her arms with one hand.

With her other hand, she took out her phone and made a call as she walked.

"The weather's turned cold. It's time something happened to the Ji family."

After ending the call, Shi Heng hurried over from backstage at once.

When he saw Jiang Sui striding toward him with six-year-old Xuanxuan cradled in one arm, he froze for a second.

"Is Xuanxuan all right?" he asked anxiously.

Jiang Sui kept walking, holding the tear-eyed child close, while Shi Heng followed tightly at her side.

"Are we still proceeding as planned?"

Jiang Sui gave a small sound of assent. "Also, tell the person in charge of this program to make sure they cut out everything Xuanxuan just said about her parents. Broadcast everything else exactly as it happened. Otherwise, we'll make public the evidence that the show's producer and director took bribes from the guests to increase their screen time."

Shi Heng frowned. "Is it really necessary to be this ruthless? You'll offend a lot of people."

Jiang Sui stopped and looked at him, smiling faintly. "This show won't exist much longer anyway."

Shi Heng: "..."

What?

After that, Jiang Sui left with Xuanxuan.

Only then did Shi Heng suddenly understand why Jiang Sui had recently assigned bodyguards to him, and why she'd given him a protective charm.

Other people were playing with fire.

Jiang Sui was playing with her life.

He knew full well how many hidden powers lurked in the entertainment industry.

There were plenty of people who had no respect for morals or the law.

With the way she was handling things, she was bound to offend quite a few of them.

But Jiang Sui now had a kind of shield of her own, and that shield was her fame.

The hotter she became, the fewer people dared to touch her.

Shi Heng was a little afraid, yet at the same time, he felt an almost thrilling excitement.

The rest of the interview program quickly lost its appeal, and many who had originally been watching the livestream left as well.

Inside the venue, the audience kept protesting, accusing the production team of feeding on tragedy for profit.

It was only after many viewers were driven out that recording could continue.

Far away overseas, Lu Ye's expression was equally grim.

He picked up his phone and made a call.

"Suppress all information about Xuanxuan's parents. I don't want to see even the slightest negative news about them online," he said coldly.

Xie Yuan nodded. "Understood."

Of course he knew that when the boss said "them," he wasn't referring only to Xuanxuan and her parents, but to Miss Jiang as well.

"Oh, right, Boss. The technical heads from several countries have all arrived. They're waiting for you to convene the meeting," Xie Yuan reminded him.

Lu Ye shut the tablet with the livestream on it, got to his feet, and straightened his collar.

"I know. Let's go."

At the same time Jiang Sui was taking Xuanxuan away and refusing to continue filming, the internet was already in an uproar over the incident.

Truth revealed

Xuanxuan: I don't have a mom or dad anymore

Jiang Sui takes Xuanxuan and refuses to film again

Xuanxuan, don't cry

...

But the trending topic about Xuanxuan's parents appeared only briefly before vanishing at once.

Across the entire internet, not a single recording of what Xuanxuan had said about her parents, or in the livestream, could be found anymore.

Meanwhile, the truth about the toy store shot straight to the top of the trending charts.

At the same time, the former person in charge of the toy store released surveillance footage from that day.

And the video was then reposted by the official account of the Bearby company, which had once stood behind the store.

It was accompanied by the caption: "Miss Jiang is amazing. For the sake of baby Xuanxuan, she actually bought the entire toy store. Who wouldn't be jealous, sob sob sob~~"

Soon after, the current young CEO of Bearby, Shen Qian, also reposted it.

"Congratulations to Sui Sui on officially becoming the boss. From now on, any fan of Boss Sui Sui shopping at a Bearby toy store will receive a VIP discount."
