After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 491 - 486: Hard to Seek Justice

"Boom..."

A muffled thunder split the pitch-dark rainy night, and as lightning streaked across the sky ahead, only the outlines of houses and trees illuminated in pairs were visible — there was no sign of the person they were hoping to see.

"Uncle Liu!"

Xiao Zhao didn’t even bother to put on a raincoat as he ran following Liu Su’s footsteps.

Behind him, Director Li and the others were frantic with anxiety.

Having two female guests encounter such an ordeal in the evening had made them furious, but hearing that Shen Yan hadn’t returned, and with the heavy rain pouring, their distress was heightened.

Calling the police would mean waiting until tomorrow for someone to come and deal with the situation — this wasn’t domestic territory, where a call to the police would bring immediate assistance. Even if the police arrived, it was not certain they could reclaim justice for them.

After pacing back and forth several times, Liu Su eventually couldn’t hold back and dashed into the rainy night in search of the person.

Rescued and less hurt than Cheng Anxin, Zhong Wei quickly changed back into her clothes and ran out, shouting, "Uncle Liu, I can take you there! I know where Shen Yan is!"

Shen Yan had saved them; it was already wrong to leave her behind, let alone now with the rain and thunder, Shen Yan’s situation looked grim.

If she didn’t also go out, she would be too inhumane.

Liu Su, somewhat displacing his anger onto the three female guests who returned first, was stepping briskly, with no intention of paying attention to Cheng Anxin and the others.

Just as Liu Su had walked a good distance and vaguely sensed something, he looked up towards the dark intersection.

In the distance, a slender figure could be seen slowly walking back this way. Liu Su’s eyes lit up, and he hurried forward.

Drawing closer and using the flash of lightning for illumination, he saw clearly that it was Shen Yan approaching. His anxious heart settled heavily, "Yanyan!"

Shen Yan was startled by the call.

Standing not far away, she looked towards the person running toward her, her vision blurring.

"Yanyan!"

Seeing that she wasn’t moving and something was off with her expression, Liu Su’s heart leaped again as he called out loudly to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan shivered lightly and responded inarticulately, "Uncle Liu?"

"Yanyan, are you alright? Did they do anything to you?" Liu Su’s eyes held a fury.

Shen Yan paused, then shook her head with a hoarse voice, "It’s been dealt with, nothing will happen again."

The person who had tried to fight back had stirred a resonance within her, only to be thoroughly erased, plunging her into brief darkness.

Had it not been for Liu Su and the others running towards her and calling her back, she might have truly sunk all the way in.

Shen Yan took a deep breath inwardly and raised her eyes to see more people running towards her behind Liu Su, their eyes filled with worry.

Shen Yan managed to muster a smile for them.

"Uncle Liu, let’s take Shen Yan back first and then have the doctor come check on her," Wen Yan shouted to Liu Su in the pouring rain.

Liu Su snapped back to reality and urgently pulled Shen Yan back to their lodging.

Most people were soaked, having changed out of their clothes to come out. The on-site doctor from the production crew then examined Shen Yan, "It’s just some bruises, nothing serious."

"This matter must be pursued to the end, Director Li, we can’t let them get away with this," Wen Yan turned around in her fury to speak to Director Li.

Zhong Wei and the other two women exchanged glances. They were unclear about the current state of those men, but they had seen the earlier situation clearly, which was quite grisly.

If they pursued the matter, and those men countered by accusing Shen Yan of assault... it would be uncertain who was in the right.

And this being a foreign country, amongst the locals and foreigners, it was obvious who would receive more support.

Shen Yan turned to Zhong Wei and the others, "They didn’t hurt you, so the matter of accountability depends on Teacher Zhong and Teacher Cheng."

They were the real victims.

Everyone’s expression suddenly became complicated. "Then what did you stay behind to do?" Xie Xuan asked.

All eyes fell on Shen Yan.

Facing everyone’s gaze, Shen Yan suddenly grinned, "What if I said I stayed behind to take care of them?"

"...

Silence.

A deadly silence.

"Shen Yan, don’t, don’t scare people," someone simply didn’t believe it.

Shen Yan cracked a smile again, "I really did hit them, and that’s something you, Director Li, will have to prepare for."

"Prepare for what?" Director Li frowned.

"Shen Yan, to save me and Cheng Anxin, she crippled them..." Zhong Wei recalled the scene, her complexion also somewhat strange.

Seeing their reactions, the men present were stunned, then winced at the thought, and fell silent.

"They got what they deserved, those scum," Wen Yan supported Shen Yan, "Director Li, we must seek justice for our female guests."

"Is there surveillance in that place?" Director Li pondered for a moment before asking.

Then the few girls looked at each other.

In unison: "No."

The room fell silent again.

Xie Xuan looked at Shen Yan and said helplessly, "Looks like justice won’t be easy to come by, but you did a good job with that hit."

Director Li wouldn’t be able to sleep that night; they still had to discuss the matter thoroughly.

*

"Uncle Liu, there’s no need to report tonight’s incident to Mr. Qi."

After everyone left, Shen Yan mentioned this to Liu Su.

Liu Su seemed hesitant to speak as he looked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan then turned to Xiao Zhao: "Same for you."

Xiao Zhao, who was about to take out his phone to report to Qi Si: "..."

"Then you rest well, if the weather is clear tomorrow, we will have to continue recording..." Liu Su sighed and along with Xiao Zhao, they left.

Shen Yan took out her now shattered phone, sighed, and thought to inform Qi Si the next day.

*

The next day, Director Li’s team was in action, searching for the location of last night’s incident. After a night of heavy rain washing everything away, all traces had disappeared cleanly, and the crippled men were nowhere to be found. They finally reached out to the person in charge of the island.

The person in charge of the island, upon hearing the descriptions from Zhong Wei and the others, kept shaking his head, insisting that they had no such looking staff on the island, and that those men must be homeless drifters who had snuck onto the island.

Zhong Wei and the others simply didn’t believe it.

How could homeless drifters be dressed so cleanly?

Since they wore no distinctive logos or clothing, Zhong Wei and the others just had to swallow this injustice.

This unresolved issue was extremely frustrating.

The rain hadn’t stopped from last night to noon, and as Shen Yan got a new phone, she was chatting with Qi Si.

Qi Si knew they had to delay the recording by a day and got restless again.

Shen Yan placated him amiably and hung up the phone, shaking her head with a wry smile.

*

At a residence on the island.

Someone burst into the office of the person in charge, pointing outside with a pale face: "Several dead bodies have been found on the beach!"

The person in charge turned white and stood up quickly, following the other out with large strides.

It was still drizzling at the time, and the waves were rough. A crowd had gathered on the beach, retrieving bodies that had washed up.

Seeing the bodies lying on the ground, the person in charge’s complexion turned even more unsightly.

"Bury them, quickly deal with this, and don’t let word get out, understood?" His chilling gaze swept over everyone, who immediately nodded, swiftly carried the bodies away, and buried them in a haphazardly dug large pit.

Shen Yan stood at a higher point, looking towards the commotion.

Zhong Wei came up from the first floor and, upon seeing Shen Yan standing on the second floor looking into the distance, cleared her throat: "Shen Yan, I owe you a favor. If you ever need anything, just call on me."

Shen Yan nodded faintly.

Zhong Wei continued, "I will also find an opportunity to explain things to Qin Ding Yue. What are you looking at? Eh? Why is it so lively down there?"

Just then, Shen Yan’s phone beeped. She took it out and saw a message from Xiao Ling.

Staring at the message, Shen Yan’s brows slowly furrowed.
