Chapter 176 A Pawn Used by Others
In addition to rides, the amusement park also features a variety of exciting shows and parades.
As they exited the roller coaster area, they caught a parade of floats.
Colorful floats slowly drove by, each carrying a cute cartoon character who waved to the audience, instantly igniting the atmosphere.
"Look, that's my favorite princess!"
Ning An pointed to a cartoon character on the float and said excitedly.
"Wow, so cute!" Yang Ziyi couldn't help but exclaim.
"Let's take a picture with them!" Qin Weiwei suggested.
The group quickly followed the float, cheering and jumping for joy along with the other tourists.
They posed for photos with the cartoon characters on the floats, capturing this wonderful moment.
After the parade, they went to a performance venue and watched a wonderful acrobatic show.
The performers showcased a variety of thrilling stunts on stage, earning rounds of applause from the audience.
"I'm so happy today. I'm so happy to be with you all. I feel like I've become a child again!"
Jiang Songchu remarked with emotion.
"Yes, Songchu, I'm really happy today. Thank you, otherwise we might not have had the chance to spend New Year's Eve together outside."
Qin Weiwei said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Today is our special time just the four of us, and I'm glad everyone enjoyed it," Jiang Songchu replied with a smile.
On this day, Jiang Songchu and her roommates spent an unforgettable time at the Haidong City Amusement Park.
They laughed heartily on the amusement rides, experienced the charm of art in the performances, and created wonderful memories in the parade.
On this day, they not only enjoyed themselves but also strengthened their friendship, making it one of the most precious memories of their high school life.
Meanwhile, Chen Yun and Aman were busy in two different places, handling the fan lottery while keeping an eye on Jiang Songchu's activities at the amusement park to ensure everything went smoothly as planned.
Jiang Songchu's fans spent the entire day eagerly awaiting the announcement of the lottery results.
When the final results were announced in the fan group, cheers and shouts of gratitude erupted.
Fans expressed their love for Jiang Songchu and their gratitude to the team.
Jiang Songchu and her roommates shared their joyful time at the amusement park with more fans through social media, allowing them to feel the happiness and joy as well.
However, life is unpredictable. Just as Jiang Songchu and her roommates were walking back to the hotel, laughing and chatting, her phone suddenly vibrated.
She took her phone out of her bag and saw that the caller ID showed Chen Yun. She answered the phone with a smile.
"Hey, Sister Yun, what's wrong?"
Jiang Songchu answered the phone, her voice tinged with doubt.
"Songchu, the police have already investigated and clarified the previous incident involving the adulteration of cosmetics..."
Chen Yun's voice sounded somewhat heavy, clearly indicating that she was uneasy about what she was about to say.
"Oh? The investigation is complete? What were the results?"
Jiang Songchu's heart leaped into her throat. She subconsciously slowed her pace, and the surrounding noise seemed to disappear.
"That aunt was acting under someone's orders, but the final clues pointed to Yangming Entertainment."
Chen Yun's voice carried a hint of helplessness, "Songchu, I feel that something is very wrong with this."
"The only person Yangming Entertainment has a grudge against is Qiao Yi, the original female lead of 'Red Clouds and Glass'. But based on my understanding of Qiao Yi, it seems she doesn't have the ability to interfere in the program 'The Dance of Splendor'."
Jiang Songchu frowned deeply as she recalled the terrifying scene that had occurred in the dressing room earlier: the aunt's expression, the cosmetics in her hand, and that abnormal smile.
She couldn't help but shudder and whispered, "You mean, there might be an even bigger mastermind behind this?"
"I always felt there was something strange about this..."
Chen Yun's voice carried a hint of worry.
“Songchu, you must be careful. This matter may be much more complicated than we imagine.”
Jiang Songchu was silent for a moment, then she raised her head and looked at the distant starry sky.
She said softly, "I understand, Sister Yun. I'll be careful. You should also be careful over there."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Songchu felt somewhat heavy-hearted, but she didn't show it at all.
Upon arriving at the hotel and entering her room, she saw Aman and instinctively slowed her pace. Aman noticed her unusual behavior and came over.
"Songchu, what's wrong? You don't look well," Aman asked with concern.
Jiang Songchu took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm: "It's nothing. Sister Chen Yun just called and said there's new progress on the matter of the cosmetics being adulterated with poison."
"What's going on?"
Jiang Songchu simply repeated Chen Yun's words, and Aman looked shocked after hearing them.
“How could it be Yangming Entertainment? Didn’t they have nothing to do with us a long time ago?” Aman couldn’t help but say.
“Yes, I think this is really strange.” Jiang Songchu nodded in agreement. “Besides, that aunt didn’t seem like she wanted to harm anyone on purpose.”
"Furthermore, although we launched a public relations campaign against Joey, we did not do anything else to harm her."
Jiang Songchu was silent for a moment, then said softly, "No matter what, we have to be careful. Sister Yun said that this matter may be much more complicated than we think."
Meanwhile, at the police station in Nanlin City, the officers investigating the cosmetics adulteration incident were also working diligently to organize the case's clues.
After several days of investigation and evidence collection, they finally reached a preliminary conclusion.
"According to our investigation, the aunt who tried to poison Jiang Songchu in the dressing room was indeed instructed by Yangming Entertainment."
"However, we have encountered some perplexing aspects during our investigation," an officer said at the meeting, his voice serious and firm.
"What's puzzling you?" another officer asked.
“Our internal investigation at Yangming Entertainment revealed that while they were indeed somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Songchu, this dissatisfaction mainly focused on the casting change in ‘Red Clouds and Glass’.”
"They don't seem to have enough motivation to interfere with the 'Dancing with the Stars' program."
The officer paused, then continued, "Furthermore, during our investigation, we discovered some strange fund flows. These funds don't seem to have a direct connection to Yangming Entertainment, but they are linked to some unknown third parties."
The meeting room fell silent as everyone fell into deep thought.
A senior police officer broke the silence: "This means that Yangming Entertainment may just be a pawn being used, while the real mastermind may still be lurking in the shadows."
