"Just went out and came back? Fell in love with the police station's interrogation room at first sight?"

The young police officer walked in from outside and sat in his previous seat. This time, he didn't even look at the case file. After sitting down, he began to stare straight at An Ning.

"Attempted kidnapping carries a sentence of ten years or more, and in serious cases, it could even result in life imprisonment. My master witnessed this firsthand, so how can you deny it?"

The young police officer placed one hand on the interrogation table, waiting for An Ning to speak and defend herself.

"Officer, I'm a good person."

After waiting for a long time, the young police officer only received this sentence.

“No criminal will readily confess to their crimes. Do you want to see evidence? There are surveillance cameras all around the police station. I can show you them one by one, and you can watch them all…”

"Xiao Lin, come out here for a moment."

When his name was suddenly called, Lin Hang's fingers, which had been tapping lightly on the table, abruptly stopped. A bad premonition welled up in his heart. Before leaving the interrogation room, he took a deep look at An Ning, as if trying to etch her face into his heart.

An Ning met his gaze with a kind smile. Seeing that he was still not leaving, she kindly reminded him, "Officer, someone is looking for you."

"You can't escape." Lin Hang left with these words before he went out.

"Really?" No.

Another half hour passed, and An Ning successfully left the cramped interrogation room and walked to the police station entrance once again. Not far behind her was Lin Hang, whose face was extremely gloomy. Not far in front of her was her black SUV, but this time the dim yellow lights inside the car were turned on, and a person who was somewhat unfamiliar to An Ning was sitting in the driver's seat.

That was her manager, Chu Lan.

"Officer, I'm leaving now. I hope we never see each other again." An Ning smiled and said goodbye to Lin Hang, her steps never faltering as she walked straight toward the black SUV.

Behind her, as An Ning entered the car, a middle-aged man suddenly stepped out from behind Lin Hang. The man patted Lin Hang on the shoulder without saying a word.

"Is it really unrelated to her?" Lin Hang murmured to himself.

The middle-aged man stared ahead, his face calm. "According to the surveillance footage, she approached midway through the journey. The person who was originally following the two little girls was someone else. That person had been following her for a long time before her, so her statement is likely true. She just went up to intimidate the man who was trying to kidnap the children."

Lin Hang questioned, "But she's just a young girl. How could she single-handedly scare off a tall, burly thug? Unless..."

"Lin Hang," he was interrupted, "you have no evidence."

Lin Hang suddenly woke up, his mind detached from his own world.

Yes, he has no evidence.

But it's okay, he'll have it.

"Sister Lan."

After An Ning got into the car, she took the initiative to speak. Looking at the woman's cold profile in the driver's seat, An Ning's fingertips curled slightly.

Chu Lan, as An Ning's manager, has put in an extraordinary amount of effort. From the very first day of taking care of An Ning, Chu Lan has been constantly expending her energy. However, the original owner of this body simply has no talent for acting. No matter how Chu Lan teaches her or how she takes An Ning to study, An Ning's acting skills never improve at all.

From the first day An Ning entered the entertainment circle to the day she passed away, the only people who stayed by her side were Chu Lan and the constant online abuse.

"Sister Lan, thank you for coming to the police station to bail me out so late."

Anning continued from where she left off, adding to what she had been saying.

The woman in the driver's seat simply nodded slightly without saying a word.

The car was deathly quiet; apart from the two people's soft breathing, there was no other sound.

After thinking for a long time, An Ning finally decided to speak first, "Sister Lan, about tomorrow's audition..."

"Don't go to the audition tomorrow. I know it's too much of a challenge for you to play a murderer or a mental patient. Forget it, see if you can get other roles."

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Lan interrupted her.

Chu Lan's voice was very calm, as if she were talking about something very simple, as if even if An Ning lost this audition opportunity, she could still find her a more suitable audition opportunity for another role.

If it were the original owner, driven by her aversion to the character, she might have actually agreed to Chu Lan's words. However, the body in this one is not the original An Ning, and she is now clearly aware of her current situation.

If she declines this audition opportunity, she will likely be unemployed at home for the next two weeks.

An Ning forced a smile, "Sister Lan, I can do it."

Although she has never taken on a similar role before, she now has a criminal system on her shoulders, and this kind of role seems a bit... tailor-made for her.

Honestly, she was so scared just now that she was afraid she might do something illegal.

Hearing An Ning's words, Chu Lan was stunned for a moment, but in the end she did not refute her, she just nodded, "Okay."

The car fell silent again. The phone screen in Anning's hand emitted a faint light, displaying a Weibo post with tens of thousands of comments. Her gaze lingered on those comments.

Words like "retiring from the industry," "eye-searing," "unbearable to look at," and "incomprehensible" are used with unusually high frequency in this comment section, and the person they are discussing is none other than herself.

Leaving the entertainment industry is out of the question; she insists on staying here, waiting for a turnaround, waiting for a chance to escape her predicament.

The next day, An Ning got up early. Just as she finished getting ready, Chu Lan called. She pressed the answer button, and Chu Lan's slightly tired voice came through the phone, "Xiao Ning, are you ready? I'm downstairs now."
