Chapter 347 - Who Killed Yan Jianming
No one would have predicted Yan Jianming’s death.
Gu Xie was being insulted by online netizens. They were all saying that he was stubborn, arrogant, and that he had robbed all the resources, causing Yan Jianming’s death. No one knew who was behind all of these, but the number of voices increased rapidly, and Gu Xie became a widely hated person on the internet.
When Yan Jianming was still alive, he could not defeat Gu Xie, and no one would have thought that once he died, things would change for the better beautifully.
Many of Gu Xie’s endorsement projects were called off over the night, but the collaborations he had with Director Leng were still there. He lost several projects that would have been of great help to his career. To Gu Xie, this would be equivalent to half his opportunities falling into his enemies’ hands. Almost all the movies produced in his studio had their release dates postponed.
“Qianshu, I never thought that Yan Jianming would die. No matter how much of a… mess he was, he was still a person… I feel bad for what had happened to Gu Xie as well. If it were not for me, he would not have been so mad at Yan Jianming. He would not have been hated by everyone now…”
Shen Qianshu said, “This had nothing much to do with you. You are the most innocent one. You are the one who got cheated, and it was Gu Xie who was having a one-sided relationship. Everything that’s happening right now has nothing to do with you. Don’t carry the burden.”
Lin Xiaojuan smiled. Things were easier said than done.
“Has the police confirmed that Yan Jianming had committed suicide?”
“Confirmed!”
“Then why did they interrogate Gu Xie?”
Lin Xiaojuan thought for a while. “I don’t know either. I heard from Gu Xie that he had swallowed sleeping pills to kill himself. There were no traces of anyone else entering his room at all, and he even wrote a note before he passed on. On the note, every word was about how Gu Xie had forced him to a dead end and that he had no choice but to kill himself. This has affected Gu Xie really badly. I don’t know if his future is going to be ruined. I’m afraid he would have to live his life known as a person who caused Yan Jianming to die.”
“Do you really believe that Yan Jianming would kill himself?”
“I don’t!” Lin Xiaojuan said unhesitatingly. “I’ve told Gu Xie before. I know Yan Jianming too well. He cherished life a lot. Even if he met a dead end, he would never kill himself.”
“He had not come to a dead end. Yesterday afternoon, he and Lu Mengyun brought jewelry to ask for a refund. When I saw him, he looked broken, but he was still looking fresh and proper. Brilliant Entertainment had taken the first step to solving issues with him. They compensated him a huge sum of money that was enough for his endorsement fees. His house is very valuable. Although he was still paying for installments, he had already paid up to 70% of it, and he was only left with 30%. If I’m not wrong, his house costs 30 million. If he sold his house and got a new one and had sold the set of jewelry for Lu Mengyun, he would still have a few million no matter what. As long as he does not gamble it away and he’s not greedy, that amount of money was definitely enough for him to live his life. As for relationship aspects, I heard that he had an argument with Lu Mengyun. The two already had cracks in their relationship long ago. It does not seem like he had lost hope because of his relationship. The note he left was even more suspicious. Killing himself because of Gu Xie was even more impossible. His goal would have been to be better than Gu Xie or use you to humiliate Gu Xie. Why would he kill himself?”
No matter from which aspect they had looked at this matter, Yan Jianming had no reason to kill himself.
“So what now, detective?”
“Xiaojuan, this could be a case of murder.” Shen Qianshu concluded.
“I know. But the police have already confirmed that the case is closed, and they had confirmed that this was a suicide case.” Lin Xiaojuan did not feel good at all. Yan Jianming’s parents were people from small towns who did not know much about the world. They must have been scared stiff by the fact that their son had killed himself. They would never have thought of looking further into the matter.
However, Yan Jianming had passed away, and all the ‘dirty water’ was thrown at Gu Xie.
Gu Xie’s future was going to be ruined.
Or at the very least, he could never be a public figure again.
“Who killed him then?”
