Chapter 319 They Are All Mad

”Do you think Shen Yan will believe it?” Xia Yu asked with anger.

But her brain was running fast as well. Whoever set her up took great care in arranging such an ingenious trap. They must have been veteran scammers. But did they simply want the money?

”Even if he doesn't believe it, how about his mother? How about the media? They will be very interested in this.” The other party apparently had expected that Xia Yu would say so, and he blocked her way out directly, which forced her not to have any wishful thinking.

In the end, that person even laughed twice on the phone, as if he was ridiculing the stupidity of Xia Yu.

This was a typical rogue behavior. Xia Yu staggered and took one step back. Her legs turned to jelly, and she sat heavily down on the ground. Her heart was bursting with coldness, and her hands were shaking. She redialed the person who blackmailed her, but there was only a message saying ”This number is not valid.

”Ah...” Xia Yu shouted out of anger and slammed the phone to the ground. She curled up on the ground while hugging her head. And she felt that she had fallen into an endless abyss with helplessness and panic rushing to her heart like a tide.

Not to mention that Xia Yu had no money, even if she had 500,000 yuan, she would not remit the money to them. Just like the incident of Li Feiran, it would only encourage the arrogance of those people.

But if these photos were exposed, it was certain that Xia Yu’s reputation would be tarnished. She was just an ordinary person. However, the biggest impact would fall on Shen Yan. Considering his current situation, wasn't it going to add an insult to an injury?

Xia Yu hesitated for a long time and finally decided to call Shen Yan. She could not hide the truth from him. At least, it would help him be prepared. Her mobile phone was slammed to pieces, so she had to use the landline at home. However, she didn't expect his mobile phone to be turned off. She called several times in a row, but Shen Yan's phone still remained off.

”Why do you turn off your phone at this time?” Xia Yu held the microphone and whispered helplessly.

But she should let him know this matter. She was afraid that a group of reporters would suddenly rush into the venue where Shen Yan was attending an event. And they held microphones to him and said. ”Young Master Yan, what do you think of your girlfriend's having the affair?”

It was another matter whether Shen Yan believed her innocence or not. But how could he handle that under such a situation?

Xia Yu gave Shen Yan a call every few minutes. But every time the same dial tone would come out from the phone and it repeated. ”The number you dialed is turned off...” Xia Yu’s heart sank to the bottom again and again.

He must be busy. Xia Yu put down the phone powerlessly. She sat on the sofa and lightly pounded her head with her hand.

Who took the photos on earth? Was it a pure act of blackmail? If this was the case, she could only hope that those people just wanted to blackmail her for money and had no other objectives. Xia Yu’s head was going to explode.

Xia Yu spent a restlessness night waiting, and Shen Yan still didn't come back. Fortunately, she met him in the office when she went to work the next day.

He came back to assign tasks to others, and he left immediately after he finished it. When he saw Xia Yu, he said to her, ”Your timing is just right. You preside over the meeting on behalf of me today.”

Xia Yu wanted to tell him that she had been blackmailed. So, she pulled him into her office and told him the cause of the incident. ”It is all my fault. I was so stupid that I was actually fooled by them.”

Did they aim at Xia Yu finally? The thing which Shen Yan worried most finally happened. He gently hugged Xia Yu and comforted her. ”How can I blame you? Those people are too contemptible. Don't worry. You have me to cope with everything. How about this? I will not leave until after the meeting.”

Xia Yu must be in a bad mood now. If Shen Yan handed her such a heavy task, he was afraid that she couldn't handle it.

”I am fine. I am worried that they will make a fuss about this matter, and it will not be good for you.” Xia Yu herself was fine. Her mantra was that a clean hand needed no washing.

”Are you really okay?” Shen Yan was a little hesitant.

”It's okay. I haven't done anything. What am I afraid of?” Xia Yu smiled and said. ”You just go ahead with your stuff. I tell you about this just because I want you to be prepared.”

Shen Yan nodded. ”OK, don't worry about the media. There will not be any problem. If the person calls you again, ignore him!”

”I know!” Xia Yu said.

She had thought of calling the police, but that person was very cautious and used a voice changer. Even if she recorded the conversation, it would be useless since the phone number was invalid. Basically, the other party did not leave any evidence. Therefore, the only thing that she could do was to ignore him.

Shen Yan was really busy. He hugged her for a while and kissed her on the forehead before leaving.

Xia Yu took a few deep breaths and picked up the documents, walking to the meeting room. Shen Yan and Liu Sijie were not there, so she had to handle everything in the company, big and small. She had been busy for the whole day.

In the evening, she dragged her tired body home. Aunt Ma asked her if she had eaten dinner, and Xia Yu replied that she had eaten already before letting Aunt Ma return to her room for rest. As for Xia Yu, she sat down on the sofa, trying to catch her breath first.

Aunt Ma saw Xia Yu was fine and then washed some fruit for her before returning to her room. Xia Yu looked at the fruit and picked up a grape.
