The news has already spread far and wide, and even if they try to withdraw the topic now, it won't be as fast as the spread by others at the scene.

I've heard countless versions of the story have surfaced. Some say there's something fishy about their awards, others say they did something wrong that drove someone to suicide as a sign of their innocence, and still others say a high-ranking official engaged in corrupt practices and was subsequently confronted… It's not just the organizers' version; there are even versions from other people present, including Xiao He—

Wang Changwei now hopes that the police can take over the case, relieve some of their pressure, and uncover the truth as soon as possible.

Otherwise, this year's Baiming Award will really be a disaster for him!

Wang Changwei's face was filled with a bitter smile as he thought about the various investigations he would have to face later.

"Can we go in and see her now?"

"Can."

The doctor opened the door and gestured for them to come in.

The consultation room wasn't large; behind a curtain was a small bed.

At this moment, the female lead from Hou Rongxuan's film crew was sitting with Li Hanyue on the edge of the bed.

Li Hanyue had already put down Xiao He's coat, her gaze fixed on the ground, lost in thought, without uttering a word.

When she heard other people's voices, she was momentarily moved. She shook her head, wanting to raise it and say something, but in the end she just buried her head even deeper.

Seeing the source of all this, Wang Changwei's feelings were complicated. He could hardly muster a gentle smile, and could only force a soft tone as he asked, "Ms. Li, how are you feeling now? What exactly happened at the scene? If you have any thoughts on this, please tell us and the police. We will definitely help resolve it..."

Wang Changwei kept rambling on, while Officer Zheng quietly observed Li Hanyue without saying a word.

Xiao He glanced at Officer Zheng, and recalling recent events, a strange premonition arose in his heart—

The fact that Officer Zheng is taking on this case means it's definitely not simple!

Last time, Officer Zheng and his team got involved with that male internet celebrity who had undergone plastic surgery, and they even started investigating illegal live-streaming software. And now they've reappeared here...

Xiao He suddenly remembered what Liu Zehang had told him before.

Did Li Hanyue have plastic surgery?

He crouched down, looked the girl in front of him at eye level, and said in a gentle tone, "Sister Hanyue, we're all here to help you. Aren't you going to say anything to us?"

It was at this moment that Xiao He finally saw clearly what was going on with Li Hanyue's face.

The delicate face I remember from the past has changed drastically. Not only is her chin unusually sharp and her nose unusually narrow, but her double eyelids are also wide and swollen. Although it's not so exaggerated as to be unrecognizable, it is indeed a world of difference compared to her former face.

And with such an obviously surgically altered face, she's practically forever out of the running for the big screen.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Li Hanyue.

Xiao He showed no outward reaction, but inwardly he gasped.

What exactly is going on with this cosmetic surgery clinic?

How could someone have undergone plastic surgery to look like this?

It was such a failure!

A flash of inspiration struck Xiao He, and this time he caught it perfectly.

And... how come they all have such coincidental botched plastic surgeries?

Does Officer Zheng's appearance imply a connection between the two cases?

Surely... they can't all be related to Rongding Media, right?
