Lan Qingyue was still in a daze. She just felt that Qi Yu's appearance here was very unexpected.

She didn't dare to look at him once in the crowd, but suddenly felt a fleeting heat on her face coming from a certain direction.

Qi Yu's aura was too strong, and he had a charm that ordinary people could not ignore. Lan Qingyue had to admit that such a man was really popular with girls.

That's just how she is; she might be infatuated with him, but that's all she is—infatuated.

Her cold, jade-like fingers gently caressed her cheek, carrying away the heat and the nervousness caused by her infatuation.

Qi Yu stepped forward, his serious expression sweeping over everyone present. He parted his thin lips slightly and said in a deep voice, "I believe everyone has seen the video online. Can someone who can swim freely in the sea accidentally fall into the water and be unable to save themselves?"

"Someone who has won so many swimming awards almost drowned in such a shallow lake?"

"I...I was so nervous...so scared. When people are nervous, they forget things, and that's what happened to me. I didn't expect to be pushed into the water, so...so my mind went completely blank, and I couldn't remember any self-rescue skills."

Lin Ting'er stammered her explanation, her hands at her sides gripping the skirt tightly, crumpling the expensive fabric into a tangled mess.

Lan Qingyue looked up in surprise, and Liu Yuanyuan quickly took out her phone, opened the saved video, and handed it to Lan Qingyue.

The video circulating online is from several years ago, so the resolution isn't very high, but everyone can easily recognize that the person swimming nimbly like a carp in the water is Lin Ting'er.

Each video is a record of her swimming competitions when she was young.

Her original face is the best proof of that.

That person is definitely her!

Lin Ting'er's words weren't entirely without merit; people do tend to forget things when they're nervous.

But when a person faces death, there is also an instinct—the instinct to save their life.

Even someone who can't swim will try to grab onto anything that can save their life, let alone a champion of a youth swimming competition.

Why doesn't a person who can swim save themselves if they fall into the water?

Did someone push her down?

This explanation seems to make sense too.

The two might have had a conflict because of a role.

But as everyone saw, it was Lan Qingyue who rescued Lin Ting'er.

Was Lin Ting'er directing and acting on her own, or was Lan Qingyue doing something unnecessary?

"Your explanation makes sense." Qi Yu slowly walked up to Lin Ting'er, his height advantage successfully overwhelming her despite her high heels. "But, didn't you know there were security cameras nearby?"

"If one's broken, there's always another. I doubt even the person who originally installed the cameras here can remember how many they actually installed. Ms. Lin, do you need any further explanation?"

The truth is already clear, and any excuses she makes will be futile.

When the video of Lin Ting'er falling into the water was released, public opinion turned against Lan Qingyue. When the video of her winning a swimming competition was released, public opinion shifted again.

With filming nearing its end, this incident has occurred, raising questions about the actor's character. How many people will still care about this production?

It is said that the investor of this drama invested in it to fulfill his wife's dream of starring in an ancient costume drama, and the drama is adapted from the novel written by his wife.
