Chapter 309 - Beg For Her To Return
After Huang Yanran saw the news, she quickly called her manager and asked him to find someone to settle the issue of Jia Qing.
She also asked him to hand over her doctor’s proof to Peng Sicheng the next day.
She was so sure that Peng Sicheng would have to beg her to return if he wanted to finish making the show.
…
Xu Xiyan was being interrogated in the interrogation room at East Peijing Police Department.
Opposite her sat two police officers, one was interrogating her, and the other was recording the whole conversation.
Xu Xiyan had told the police everything that she could remember about that day, but they remained suspicious of her.
“If what you’ve said is true, then how can you explain that vial of poison found in your locker?” the police officer asked.
“I’ve already explained it to you three times!” Xu Xiyan sighed. “I’m not the one who poisoned Jia Qing and I don’t know why that poison was in my locker. If you don’t believe me, then you can check the camera!”
“We did,” the officer replied. “But the footage for that day was wiped off.”
“Then I have nothing else to say,” Xu Xiyan said. “If there’s no footage then I don’t have anything to prove my innocence. But I’m not going to just sit by and let you guys blame me for something I haven’t done.”
Just as the interrogation was coming to a stall, another person came into the room and whispered something into the interrogating officer’s ear.
“Jing Xi,” the interrogation officer said after nodding to the office who just came in. “Your friend is here for you.”
Friend? Jing Xi asked in her head. Is it Ma Haodong?
Xu Xiyan was brought to another room and in there sat Xiao Yuqian.
“Yanyan,” Xiao Yuqian said as soon as she saw Xu Xiyan. “How are you? Are they treating you well?”
“I’m fine,” Xu Xiyan replied as she forced a smile onto her face. “I’m sorry for causing the company trouble again.”
Xu Xiyan truly felt sorry for the company. Not only had she not earned the company a dime as their sole celebrity, but she even kept finding herself involved in scandals.
“It’s all right,” Xiao Yuqian said. “I believe you’re innocent. I’ve already heard part of the story, and I’m thinking of ways to get you out now. We’ll handle the PR later.”
Xiao Yuqian rushed to the precinct as soon as she got Ma Haodong’s call.
She’d known Xu Xiyan since they were little, so she knew that Xu Xiyan would never do anything like poisoning someone. She believed that Xu Xiyan must’ve gotten herself on the wrong side of certain powerful people during her shoot.
“Then I’ll be in your care.”
“Don’t put it like that. It’s my fault for not protecting you like your manager should,” Xiao Yuqian said. “Tell me the whole story. Maybe I can find some evidence to prove that you’re innocent.”
“Okay.”
Xu Xiyan told Xiao Yuqian everything that had happened that day without missing any details.
The only thing Xu Xiyan had left out was Huang Yanran, since Xu Xiyan wasn’t even suspecting her just like everyone else, since she wasn’t at the set when the accident happened.
After hearing the complete story, Xiao Yuqian told Xu Xiyan not to worry and to follow everything she said.
Xu Xiyan wasn’t even worried about herself. She was more worried about the fact that she couldn’t help Huo Yunshen to his therapy if she were to be put in jail.
Xu Xiyan had made Xiao Yuqian promise not to tell her grandfather, Ying Bao or Huo Yunshen about the incident. She didn’t want them to worry about her.
But there was no way that Huo Yunshen hadn’t heard about it.
