Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

Chapter 270 Something went wrong, guess who was the first one to take the blame?

Inside was Han Zihe's personal cell phone!

Jiang Chen was immediately overjoyed.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie," Jiang Chen replied and hung up the phone.

Chen Qiaowei's eyes lit up, and she quickly grabbed the letter opener to tear open the box.

"A private cell phone? There must be clues in it!"

"Chat logs, memos, recordings—he might have already saved up damaging information about the company, just in case something happens!"

Chen Qiaowei's tone was full of anticipation.

This is the most direct physical evidence, more effective than any amount of witness testimony!

Inside the cardboard box lay an old black cell phone, its screen still covered with a screen protector, looking remarkably well-preserved.

Jiang Chen picked it up and pressed the power button.

However, the moment the screen lit up, his brows furrowed abruptly.

There is no lock screen wallpaper, only a white background with black text as the initial welcome screen, next to which is written "Get Started". It is the activation page after the system is restored to factory settings.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Qiaowei leaned closer to take a look, and the smile on her face instantly froze. "This...this is a new phone screen?"

"It's been factory reset." Jiang Chen's fingertip swiped across the screen, his tone turning somber. "All the data inside should have been wiped!"

"How could this happen!" Chen Qiaowei grabbed the phone and looked at it over and over again, pressing the buttons several times in a desperate attempt to stop herself.

"Can we hire a data recovery company? A professional one, right? Can they recover the deleted data?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, his tone certain: "It can't be found."

"Judging from the extent of this cleanup, it was repeatedly overwritten using professional tools; it wasn't just ordinary deletion."

"Even with the best data recovery team, they can only recover fragmented files at most. Complete chat logs, recordings, and documents are long gone!"

The other party did a very thorough job, clearly not wanting to leave anything behind!

"That's too much!"

Chen Qiaowei angrily slammed her phone on the table, her chest heaving violently.

"This is blatant provocation! Knowing we were investigating, they deliberately wiped the data clean before sending the phone back—it's just showing off!"

"What they mean is, even if you know there's a problem, you can't get any evidence!"

"They've all left, not even leaving a cell phone number. These people are so heartless!"

Jiang Chen didn't speak, but gently tapped the cold back of his phone with his fingertips, his eyes even more composed than before.

"The more they rush to destroy evidence, the more it shows that there is something they are afraid of in this phone."

"This further proves that Han Zihe's death was definitely not as simple as they say, due to 'personal depression'!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Qiaowei's phone suddenly "dinged" and a trending topic popped up.

The red title is particularly eye-catching.

She picked up her phone and glanced at it, her expression changing slightly.

"Jiang Lu, look..."

On the screen, the headlines of entertainment news were bolded and enlarged.

#Han Zihe's medical records before his death have been revealed, showing he was diagnosed with severe depression and had been taking medication for six months. Star Entertainment: Respecting the privacy of the deceased, may he rest in peace!#

Clicking on it reveals an image: a blurry photo of an outpatient medical record, and a diagnostic certificate stamped with the official seal of a "Mental Health Center".

The label read, "Severe depressive episode, hospitalization recommended," and included an interview with the so-called "attending physician."

He said that Han Zihe had been suffering from insomnia and depression for a long time and had been taking medication regularly for six months. Recently, his condition has worsened and he has suicidal tendencies.

The press release was written in great detail, as if the evidence were irrefutable!

"I just cleared my phone, and now they're releasing my medical records—the timing is just too perfect!"

Chen Qiaowei was so angry her hands were shaking. "It's obviously pre-prepared! First, they destroyed the evidence, then they confirmed the 'depression' claim!"

"This medical record is definitely fake! Everyone around Han Zihe says he doesn't have depression at all, how could he have been taking medication for six months!"

Jiang Chen picked up his phone, glanced at the so-called "medical record," and suddenly chuckled.

"What is fake can never become real."

"Medical records and official seals on medical records from reputable hospitals are all verifiable."

"Forging medical diagnostic certificates is illegal in itself!"

"They're so desperate they're resorting to any means necessary, which only shows how panicked they are."

He put down his phone, his gaze falling on the thick stack of financial records on the table, his tone calm and resolute.

"It's okay if the phone is wiped clean, it's okay if the medical records are fake."

"The accounts are still there, the witnesses are still there; what they did can't be completely erased!"

"The more they try to build it, the more we'll tear it down!"

Although Jiang Chen was quite confident, Chen Qiaowei felt it was a bit troublesome.

She frowned, her fingers gripping the pen: "The phone data is gone, they've produced fake medical records, our witnesses can't appear in court... what else can we do?"

"We can't just stand by and watch them turn black into white, can we?"

Jiang Chen picked up his phone, opened a contact, and saved the contact as "Li Xue".

He chuckled softly: "Of course there is a way."

"They want to muddy the waters, right? Then we'll muddy the waters too!"

"Right now, the person most panicked at Star Entertainment isn't their CEO, it's Li Xue!"

He looked up at Chen Qiaowei and said, "Han Zihe is an artist under her management. She negotiated the contract, handled the daily management, and spearheaded the public relations after the incident."

"If things really blow up and problems are found, she'll be the first one pushed out to take the blame!"

"At times like this, she's even more eager than we are to find a way to save face..."

Jiang Chen was all too aware of the mess inside Star Entertainment.

As he spoke, Jiang Chen dialed Li Xue's number directly.

The phone rang several times before being answered. Li Xue's voice was sharp and irritating: "Jiang Chen? What are you up to now?"

"I'm warning you, don't push your luck!"

Judging from her tone, she was clearly angry.

"Sister Li, don't get so angry."

Jiang Chen spoke calmly, as if making a casual conversation, "I'm calling because I want to give you a chance."

"Opportunity?" Li Xue scoffed, her tone sarcastic.

Don't give me that!

"You just want to use Zihe's situation to gain attention and get revenge for what happened back then, right? Let me tell you, no way!"

"If you're so capable, let's see you in court. Stop with all this beating around the bush."

"See you in court, of course."

Jiang Chen said calmly, "However, I have to remind you that the jurisdictional objection was rejected in just one day. The court took three years' worth of bank statements, and the misallocation of costs was immediately exposed."

"And that 'depression treatment record' you just released—if it's investigated, who was responsible for forging the medical documents?"

"In the end, who will take the blame: your General Manager Zhou, or you, the artist director?"

Upon hearing this, the other end of the phone went silent.

Li Xue's hand gripping the phone tightened suddenly.

That fake medical record was indeed obtained through connections she made.

Mr. Zhou was pressing her for help, so in her desperation, she sought help from an acquaintance.

If they really investigate this thoroughly, she'll be the first one who won't escape!
