"Chief Lin, I think you have already read this evidence."

Gu Qi leaned back in his chair, his posture casual and languid. Looking at Lin Sicheng, whose face was pale and whose fingers were trembling, Gu Qi's mood inexplicably improved.

He and this person were old acquaintances.

In fact, he had even suffered some losses at the hands of this person before!

However, now that he's older and more experienced, he's become increasingly timid! The fearless drive he once had is nowhere to be seen anymore!

"Regarding this matter, I..."

Lin Sicheng originally wanted to say that he needed to investigate further, but before he could say it, he quickly swallowed it back.

He said he couldn't bring himself to say it.

With such irrefutable evidence, it would be extremely difficult for him to protect Song Ke for the sake of saving face.

If he opens his mouth now, not only will Song Ke lose face, but he and the entire special case team will also lose face.

After a long silence, Lin Sicheng finally spoke with difficulty: "Thank you. I will handle this matter properly and will give you a reasonable explanation within two days."

"That would be perfect." Gu Qi was not at all surprised by Lin Sicheng's refusal. He slowly stood up, his smile polite but with a hint of sarcasm: "Please hurry, Chief of Staff Lin. I've been quite busy lately, and I'm afraid I might forget about this matter if too much time passes!"

Lin Sicheng's lips twitched. His nerves, which had relaxed, tightened again because of Gu Qi's words.

At this moment, Lin Sicheng, who was burning with anxiety, naturally had no mind to argue with Gu Qi. He didn't even get up to see Gu Qi off.

Long after Gu Qi left, Lin Sicheng sat quietly behind his desk for a long time before raising his hand to dial the phone on the desk and telling the person on the other end in a deep voice, "Have Song Ke put down what he's doing and come to my office."

While Gu Qi went to meet Lin Sicheng early in the morning, Song Mengmeng also brought freshly made breakfast to visit Yao Anna, who was still hospitalized, and Hu Yue, who had just been admitted and was currently in the same ward as her.

Yao Anna originally had a double room to herself, but after Hu Yue fainted and was sent to the hospital yesterday, she was brought over to keep her company shortly afterward.

When Song Mengmeng entered, the two of them were sitting on the headboard, chatting happily!

Upon seeing Song Mengmeng enter, Hu Yue couldn't help but laugh and say, "Look, it's just like speaking of the devil! We were just talking about her, and now Mengmeng has saved her!"

What are you talking about me?!

Hearing Hu Yue say that, Song Mengmeng couldn't help but become curious. She tilted her head and teased with a smile, "You're not talking badly about me, are you?!"

"No way! We were just talking about whether we should get a lucky charm, we've been having such bad luck lately! It's like even drinking water is a problem!"

Yao Anna sighed and couldn't help but complain, "You know, my boyfriend turned out to be a scumbag and cheated on me with a rich and powerful woman; and this woman who wanted to be the other woman ended up participating in the same variety show as me!"

It's one thing to participate, but she was the one who got kidnapped!

There are all sorts of rumors circulating outside! Some are even outrageous, saying that I hired someone to kill someone out of love turned to hate!

While complaining, Yao Anna put on her coat and got up to help Hu Da set the breakfast that Song Mengmeng had brought on the table: "It's outrageous that her mother opened the door for someone so outrageous! It's outrageous to the extreme!"

“Nana is about to go to Xijing to join a film crew, so this is a good opportunity for her to meet Master Dukong.” Hu Yue got out of bed and walked over to Song Mengmeng as she explained, “Because she had been saying that she wanted to meet Master Dukong, this is a good opportunity for her to fulfill her wish.”

"It's just an idea, whether I'll have time to go is another matter." Yao Anna took a sip of thick, fragrant rice porridge and said with a wry smile, "I'm already late to the set, but luckily Director Luo gave me a chance and didn't replace me directly."

"Are you going to Xijing?" Song Mengmeng wasn't really interested in whether Yao Anna was going to see Master Dukong or not; what she cared about was Yao Anna's statement that she was going to Xijing.

"Yes, I just took on a role in a TV series, a supporting female character in Director Luo's Lunar New Year film."

Yao Anna nodded, showing no intention of hiding anything from Song Mengmeng. She even took the time to introduce Director Luo's situation to Song Mengmeng.

In the Chinese entertainment industry's director circle, Director Luo is considered a rare evergreen and highly senior director.

He has directed 23 films since he started directing movies, and almost every one of them has been a box office hit! He has also made countless male and female stars who are now active in the entertainment industry famous, earning him the nickname "walking star-making machine".

Therefore, getting a role from him, even just a minor one, is a rare opportunity for a rising star like Yao Anna.

Originally, Yao Anna thought she would lose the role after her injury. However, after her agent explained the situation to Director Luo, the usually strict director was surprisingly humane and did not blame her. Instead, he turned around and comforted her, saying that such an accident was something no one wanted to see and hoped that she could recover well and join the crew as soon as possible.

"Isn't that great! It just so happens that I also have some things to take care of and I might have to go to Xi'an for a while. If I go, I'll visit your film set."

Song Mengmeng was quite happy for Yao Anna after hearing her story, and casually mentioned that Yao Anna might be going to Xijing soon as well.

"Go to Xijing and ask for..."

Hu Yue keenly sensed that Song Mengmeng's trip to Xi'an was definitely not just for sightseeing, but before she could ask, her cell phone rang urgently.

Hu Yue glanced at the phone number displayed on her phone screen, put down the question that was about to come out, and then picked up the phone to answer the call: "Hello, this is Hu Yue."

"What?!" Hu Yue was so shocked by what the person on the other end of the phone said that she jumped up from her seat. Her voice trembled as she asked in disbelief, "President Lin is in trouble?! When did this happen?!"

How come you only realized this now?!
