Because Song Xia was in another city, she arrived a little later. When she got there, Song Xinghe was still at the police station giving a statement.

"Star Harmony..."

Upon seeing her, Song Xinghe suddenly became vulnerable and hugged her tightly: "Mom."

"How was it? Were you scared?"

Song Xingping calmed herself down: "Luckily, I listened to you before and didn't let anyone touch my suitcase, so I noticed something was wrong."

"Have you eaten anything you shouldn't have?"

"No, not at all." Song Xinghe shook his head. "It's been hot these past two days and I wanted to drink something cold, so I put all the water in the refrigerator this morning. I came back too late and was worried about my stomach, so I didn't touch it. Luckily, I didn't."

"Is there a problem with the water too?"

"Well, the water provided by the hotel should be fine. It was probably caused by someone who came into the room later."

Song Xinghe still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it. Almost every bottle of bottled water that the police collected had needle marks on it. Who is the person behind this? How vicious! It was just a hair's breadth away!

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Now that we've handed it over to the police, they'll definitely find out the truth."

The police quickly assured her, "Ms. Song, please rest assured, we will find the person who poisoned you as soon as possible."

The hotel manager also had a dark expression. Regardless of whether anyone was injured or not, these things appeared within the hotel's management scope and were even impersonated by their internal management personnel. This is a major stain!

Who is it? Once they find out, they will definitely sue and make this person compensate their hotel for the damage to its reputation!

Besides the police officers handling the case, there were several other officers on duty at the police station. They all looked at Song Xia and Song Xinghe with curiosity. These two are the most popular celebrities in the past two years! They are truly mother and daughter, both equally beautiful.

It turns out the entertainment industry is really chaotic; they've resorted to such insidious methods to bring down these two women.

The bureau chief's face was grim. This matter must be thoroughly investigated; the impact is too egregious. How were these items obtained? Is there a whole supply chain behind this? Is this the first time someone has been harmed like this?

Especially with the recent crackdown on corruption, he absolutely cannot let things continue like this!

"Officer, our hotel will definitely cooperate with the investigation. Please feel free to make any requests. I have already had HR compile a list of the people on duty today, and the monitoring room has also been secured. We will absolutely not allow anyone to cause trouble."

Seeing the hotel manager's friendly attitude, the police chief's expression softened: "Comrade, thank you for your cooperation. We'll go to your hotel to retrieve some information shortly."

"Of course, our hotel also wants to clear its name."

After giving their statements, Song Xia and Song Xinghe were able to leave. To prevent them from having any lingering trauma from the original hotel, the hotel manager personally booked a vacation villa for them. This villa was also owned by the hotel, but its location was a bit out of the way, requiring more than an hour's drive to get there.

Song Xia did not refuse his kindness, and left with Song Xinghe, and asked the publicity department of "Different Sisters" for leave.

"Mom, it's okay for tomorrow's promotion."

"You need to get enough rest. So, we'll postpone the morning's appointment, and I'll have Xie Dong take you there this afternoon."

"Okay." There are two promotional events tomorrow, one in a shopping mall in the city center and the other in the university town. At least we can't let the fans who came all the way here miss both events.

Song Xia sat in the car, squinting at the outside of the window, and sure enough, she spotted two suspicious-looking people.

"It's paparazzi. How could they get the news so quickly?" As soon as he said it, Xie Dong realized he had asked a stupid question. He snorted and said, "It must have been arranged by the person behind it. Senior, I'll go arrest them and report them to the police right away."

"Thanks a lot."

When the two paparazzi saw Xie Dong get out of the car, they turned to run away, but Xie Dong had just called the police and was caught within five minutes.

"We really didn't know. Someone sent us a private message saying there was big news here tonight."

The police officer shouted at them sternly: "You dare to secretly film in the police station? Who gave you the guts?"

“We did not secretly film the police station. You can check the photos if you don’t believe us.”

"No matter what, taking photos without permission is illegal, you know?"

"But they are celebrities, and this is how we've always worked."

“Just because no one has investigated your work doesn’t mean it’s legal. Your actions have now involved a major case. This is a premeditated frame-up. Please cooperate with our investigation.”

"We will cooperate, we will definitely cooperate."

The chief said to the police officer, "Notify the technical department to come over and find out where the account behind the private messages sent to them is."

At this point, the two paparazzi realized that this was no ordinary celebrity news. They had never seen anyone else experience such a thing as paparazzi taking photos, and it had even alarmed the police chief to personally investigate. They had been framed!

When they saw the private message containing big news about Song Xinghe, they immediately felt something was wrong, but they still came for the headlines. Now they deeply regret it! The police won't let them leave and have confiscated their electronic devices. What are they going to do for the next few days?

The publicity team for "Different Sisters" learned that Song Xinghe had been framed. They discovered the incident last night and even went to the police station. They immediately gave Song Xinghe a day off and personally apologized to Song Xia, saying that the hotel they had chosen was not up to standard.

Song Xia knew, of course, that this had nothing to do with the production team. She simply told them not to worry about it and that Song Xinghe would attend normal promotional events later.

The production team had originally planned to give Song Xinghe a few more days off, but they were very grateful that she insisted on attending despite such a major event. During the promotional event in the morning, they repeatedly explained on Song Xinghe's behalf and emphasized that she had encountered abnormal persecution, which was why she was unable to attend.

The internet exploded the moment these words were spoken. What does "abnormal persecution" mean?

The fans, in particular, were extremely worried and eager to know what had happened.

However, a secondary account then leaked information claiming that Song Xinghe went to the police station last night, suspected of participating in illegal activities, and also released pictures of Song Xinghe being taken away by the police, followed by Song Xia rushing over looking anxious.

Netizens are confused: Is Song Xinghe being persecuted, or is she breaking the law? Will Song Xinghe be able to attend the promotional event this afternoon?

At this point, even the production crew was uncertain, fearing that Song Xia's claim that Song Xinghe could attend in the afternoon was false, which would be difficult to handle. Moreover, what would happen to "Different Sisters" if something really happened to Song Xinghe?

However, Xie Dong quickly issued a statement on behalf of his studio, clarifying that Song Xinghe did go to the police station last night, but not to be summoned; rather, to assist with an investigation. He solemnly declared that Song Xinghe had not participated in any illegal activities, reassuring fans and asking netizens not to believe the rumors. He also urged everyone to continue watching the upcoming TV series "Different Sisters."
