Chapter 1794: Gu Yihan’s Drug Abuse Exposed

Wen Xinya had Liu Yanhua make discreet checks into Gu Yihan, including her family background, her friends and acquaintances, her lifestyle and habits, love life, finances, etc. The more detailed the better.

Wen Xinya received a copy of Gu Yihan’s finances and discovered something rather strange about her financial situation. But then, something completely unexpected happened.

Wen Xinya couldn’t help thinking back to what Si Yiyan told her that night.

“Xinya, you shouldn’t trust others so easily. Otherwise, you might get burned one day.”

It was just a comment, but Si Yiyan’s words had hit the mark.

Capital city’s narcotics bureau received a tip at 1 AM this morning that Wen Corporation’s leading fashion designer, Gu Yihan, was a drug user. The police rushed to the scene and found a huge stash of drugs. The authorities then confiscated everything.

Gu Yihan’s urine had also tested positive for drugs. She was then charged for drug possession.

Everyone was utterly shocked the moment this news was released.

Everyone, including Wen Xinya.

“Ah ah ah, Gu Yihan is my goddess. How is it possible she is a drug addict? I can’t hardly believe my own ears. Sob sob sob… I now feel that this world is a dark and cruel place.”

“She is such a decent young lady, why is she not cherishing herself? She even won major fashion design competitions in Paris and is the current queen of Country Z’s fashion world. The legend of Gu Yihan’s rise desecrated overnight? So not worth it.”

“Could it be that Gu Yihan has exhausted all her creative juices and was trying to use drugs to seek inspiration? There are many past cases of celebrities using drugs for this very reason, and ended up destroying their reputation and their future.”

“Haha… this supposedly talented and virtuous role model is actually a drug addict. We really can’t judge a book by its cover. She deserved to get caught.”

“Everyone knows the terrible consequences of taking drugs. A famous person like Gu Yihan taking drugs will be a tremendously bad influence on our society. Such a person should be severely punished.”

“I even spoke up for her when Rosy Lane and Lu Bingxin accused Gu Yihan of pirating her designs. I thought it was Lu Bingxin making slanderous accusations and Rosy Lane supporting her just to make mischief. Now that Gu Yihan is a drug addict—what else is she capable of?”

“That’s right. A drug addict has deplorable character and zero common sense. I think that Rosy Lane and Lu Bingxin’s allegations might be true, after all. And to think I believed in Gu Yihan then.”

“There is no smoke without fire. If Gu Yihan is truly as perfect and honorable as she makes herself out to be, why is that newbie Lu Bingxin going all out to make such an accusation?”

The online backlash on Gu Yihan’s drug use was endless.

Wen Xinya knew how serious this matter was. She knew there was no way to suppress this issue.

Gu Yihan’s hard-earned reputation and influence had been destroyed overnight.

Wen Xinya stared glumly at the handcuffed and dejected-looking Gu Yihan. “You… how could you be so foolish!”

It would be a lie to say her heart was not broken.

Having had her own life destroyed by drugs in her previous incarnation, Wen Xinya was well aware of just how terrifying drug abuse could be.

As a result, Wen Xinya was deeply opposed to drug abuse. She had even joined Country Z’s anti-drug association, and would donate money every year in support of the campaign to spread the message of how horrible drug abuse was and how to quit drugs.

She never expected Gu Yihan to get involved with drugs.

Gu Yihan’s head was lowered and her face totally pallid. “I also don’t know how things came to this. The first time I encountered drugs was two years ago when I went to a bar with a friend. I had a drink and started feeling very high. My creativity was triggered and it was like my mind had expanded beyond all boundaries.”

Gu Yihan’s face was grim and her voice dripped with regret as she recalled that incident.

Wen Xinya’s heart gave a heavy thud. She now realized that Gu Yihan had been implicated by someone’s scheming. Xia Ruya had targeted Gu Yihan long ago.

At this point, her heart was filled with tremendous rage. She was desperate to tear Xia Ruya apart.

She never expected for Xia Ruya to use such despicable means against Gu Yihan.

“After that experience, I would take a bit of drugs every time I feel a lack of inspiration or when I am feeling immense pressure. But I have always been very restrained and very careful. I have not developed a complete reliance on drugs.”

Gu Yihan was sobbing by this point.

All these years, her reputation had been on the rise and the Wen Corporation’s clothing department had become increasingly successful. She had turned into a main pillar of the company, and the entire burden of Wen Corporation’s success laid on her shoulders. The pressure she felt was unimaginable.

That was why she had gone down the wrong path.

She had worked so hard all these years to attain all her current achievements. She never expected to end up in such a contemptible and forlorn state.

The worse thing was that she had implicated the Wen Corporation. Her heart was bursting with guilt.

“Regarding the police finding a huge stash of drugs at your place—what was that about? Are you truly guilty of drug possession?”

Wen Xinya tried to keep her emotions in check. Even though Gu Yihan was not really dependent on drugs, her two-year history with drug use was enough for the police to charge her.

And the most troublesome matter was the drug possession charge!

Gu Yihan’s thoughts were in a mess. She kept shaking her head. “I don’t know. I didn’t keep any drugs. I don’t know why there were so many drugs in my house. I only buy one serving every time I take it. Someone is trying to frame me…”

Gu Yihan had started to blabber rather incoherently.

Wen Xinya naturally trusted Gu Yihan’s words. She clasped her icy hands. “Don’t worry, I will do all I can to get you out from police custody. Bear with it first. Don’t let your thoughts run wild.”

By now, Wen Xinya already had a clear understanding of the situation.

Xia Ruya was behind this entire incident, including Gu Yihan taking drugs and framing her for drug possession.

Xia Ruya had targeted Gu Yihan right from the beginning. She planned to make use of Gu Yihan to defeat the Wen Corporation all along.

Gu Yihan asked uncertainly, “My drug use being exposed… the Wen Corporation…”

Everyone was chastising her now and looking at her with accusing eyes. But Wen Xinya had obviously not given up on her. She was extremely touched.

Even so, she was very worried about implicating the Wen Corporation with her drug abuse charges.

Wen Xinya replied, “You just stay calm and wait for me to get you out of here. I will settle everything else.”

After learning about Gu Yihan’s drug abuse, she had immediately rushed to the police station. She had no idea what state the Wen Corporation was in.
