Chapter 37 (2 more)



After An Ru posted on Weibo, three or four more girls joined the army to attack Park Sun and Ding Cheng. They formed a small group and posted what they knew and the timeline. After discussing it, they sorted out the evidence in their hands and handed it over to the police station.

Near noon, the eager crowd finally received the police's notice in white on a blue background:

Actor Park is suspected of multiple crimes, including drug use, assaulting multiple minors, and forcing minors to use drugs. He has confessed to these offenses and has been detained by the Imperial Capital District D Police Station in accordance with the law.

As soon as the police report came out, all netizens applauded:

This guy is truly a villain. You can't judge a person by his appearance. I thought he had a good face, but I was blind.

Zhang Chihao is vulgar, this guy is vicious. Even Zhang Chihao isn't that hateful in comparison... Oh my god, this show "Flip Online" is so toxic. How can they keep challenging my bottom line again and again?!

Is this the biggest case in the entertainment industry in recent years? I asked the lawyers, and they said he'll get at least 20 years. He's 30 this year, so he'll be a complete old man in 20 years. Let's see if his crazy fans are still willing to wait for him.

[What a piece of trash! I hope he gets fucked by the big guys in prison when he gets in. Let him have a taste of what it's like to be bullied!]

Wen Qianqian was sitting at her desk, reading the police notice, when her phone dinged with a WeChat message from Qi Xin:

"Sister, you're truly amazing! You said you could find evidence, and we did. This case is a major one, and our director is thrilled. No more words to say, I'll treat you to dinner someday. You can choose any restaurant you want."

Wen Qianqian smiled and replied: [Okay, I'll tell you when I've thought it through.]

Just as she put down her phone, she saw Zhao Shan approaching from afar. Seeing Wen Qianqian, he joked, "Hey, weren't you recording a show? Why did you suddenly come to the police station to work overtime?"

He pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Oh, it turns out that the guest went in 1/3 and couldn't take pictures anymore, hahahahahaha."

Wen Qianqian: ...

For a moment, she wanted to hit him.

Zhao Shan pretended not to notice her sharp look and continued, "Did you know? Someone has predicted the failure rate of your show.

After saying that, he took out his phone and began to read: "Wen Qianqian, the rollover rate ranks last, accounting for only 0.5%, but the probability of choosing 'full rollover' is as high as 81%!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wen Qianqian in feigned confusion. "Aren't they quite contradictory? On the one hand, they think you can't fail, and on the other hand, they predict everyone will fail. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, these netizens are no good. They're just here to watch the fun and make trouble. Tell me, do they really want you to fail or not?"

Wen Qianqian wanted to roll her eyes speechlessly: "I think they probably want you to shut up."

"Tsk," Zhao Shan smacked his lips, then leaned forward with a smirk. "I've heard about your variety show exploits. They're indeed impressive, but honestly, for a police officer like me, they're not particularly outrageous. Gossip with me, and do the rest of you have anything even more outrageous?"

"Of course." She smiled mysteriously at Zhao Shan.

"Wow, it really exists!" He was instantly excited when he heard Qianqian: "Tell me about it quickly!"

Wen Qianqian gave a wicked smile: "Of course I can't tell you this."

Zhao Shan took a step back in dissatisfaction and huffed, "Qianqian, you've become bad!"

She smiled lazily: "I learned it from you~"

Just as Zhao Shan was about to fight back, her cell phone suddenly rang with a series of "ding ding ding ding ding" sounds, and Zhao Shan immediately shut up.

It was another unfamiliar number. She lowered her head and thought about it before picking up the phone.

"Hello, is this Officer Wen?" The voice on the phone was sweet and she immediately recognized it as Yan Xinyue.

"Well, what's the matter?" Wen Qianqian replied somewhat coldly.

Hearing her affirmative answer, Yan Xinyue didn't care whether she was cold or not, and immediately said in a coquettish tone: "Officer Wen, I want to treat you to lunch at noon, is that possible?"

Wen Qianqian instantly got goosebumps all over her body, thinking that Yan Xinyue was really good at being coquettish. Even she felt her bones softened, let alone Yi Sheng?

"I'm sorry, I'm busy," she interrupted Yan Xinyue, "Just say what you want to say."

Yan Xinyue hesitated for a long time, and finally bit her lip fiercely: "Okay, I'll tell you what you asked me! It's like this, I remember you had a quarrel with Park Shun in the lounge before, and you said at the time that something bad would happen to him."

She lowered her voice and said, "So, I want to ask you, does the police station have any special information channels?"

"If it's true, can you tell me if anyone has reported me?"

"Pfft" Wen Qianqian wanted to laugh. It turned out that Yan Xinyue was too scared, so she was thinking about the reason everywhere. In the end, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. She even called her to get her to tell the truth.

"No comment, Miss Yan," she said casually over the phone. "Police information is confidential, you know."

"You..." Yan Xinyue gritted her teeth in anger.

Wen Qianqian said lazily: "If you are really afraid, then don't do so many bad things. If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."

"You!" Yan Xinyue was ridiculed and immediately became furious.

Wen Qianqian was too lazy to pay attention to her and hung up the phone.

Zhao Shan, who was standing by, hadn't left yet. When he saw her finish her call, he immediately raised his hand: "I didn't want to listen to your call!" He pointed at her phone and said with a bit of pride: "But the person talking on the other end of your line was a little loud. I heard it even though I didn't want to."

Then, he came closer from being about a meter away, looking gossipy. "Hey, why do I feel like the person calling you is Yan Xinyue? A famous star called you, and you don't seem to treat her well?"

Wen Qianqian sneered, "This is what she deserves."

Zhao Shan was a little confused. Just as he was about to continue asking, he suddenly saw Pei You walking by with a large stack of information.

His attention immediately turned to Pei You: "Hey, handsome guy, why are you working overtime on Sunday?"

Pei You looked at him, then at Wen Qianqian, and shook the folder in his hand: "I just happened to catch up with the urgent task assigned by the master, so I won't rest this weekend."

Zhao Shan was curious. "Hey, aren't the recent major cases almost over? Park Shun's major drug-addicted underage case has also been transferred to the D District Police Station. Of course, our Chief You is still very upset about this, thinking we acted too late and that the D District beat us to the punch. But this also means that our major cases are almost done. What urgent tasks are there?"

Pei You thought for a moment, then pulled out a brief case summary from the folder and handed it to them, explaining, "A major egg-swapping case broke out at the Domalia Private VIP Hospital in City S. Captain Gu mentioned that Domalia Hospital also has a branch in the capital. He asked us to review the records from the past few years to see if there were any related cases, and then go to the hospital again this afternoon to check if there were any illegal operations."

Tomalia Hospital? Wen Qianqian silently recited the name, feeling inexplicably familiar. Suddenly, a memory flashed in her mind. Isn't this the hospital where Zhou Rui's father was treated?

Instantly, countless thoughts raced through Wen Qianqian's mind. She leaned close to Pei You and whispered to him, "I have a friend whose father is in that hospital. I'm a little worried after hearing what you said. Could you help me check his medication?"

Pei You paused, then nodded immediately: "Don't worry, no problem."

On the other end of the line, Yan Xinyue, who had been hung up by Wen Qianqian, was so furious she was about to explode. She kept stomping her feet and throwing tantrums at home, muttering, "What the hell! If I hadn't been unable to find anyone else, I wouldn't have looked for her! I was just asking for some information, and she's acting so arrogant. Not only did she not tell me, but she's also lecturing me? What the hell!"

After she finished speaking, she angrily knocked over the transparent glass bowl of cherries on the table. The thin glass bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The cherries in the bowl splashed everywhere and scattered on the carpet, mixing with the glass fragments, making a mess.

Assistant Zhou Rui saw this and immediately took out the broom and trash can to clean up. However, Yan Xinyue seemed to have taken some medicine that was wrong today. She glanced at her coldly and said, "Who told you to sweep with a broom?"

Zhou Rui was a little puzzled: "It's all dirty, doesn't it need to be cleaned?"

Yan Xinyue glared at her fiercely. Seeing her face that bore some resemblance to her own, she grew angrier and angrier. Finally, she curled her lips and sneered, "Didn't I say you don't have to clean it up?"

She looked at Zhou Rui with a complicated expression: "I want you to pick out the cherries from the dregs one by one with your hands, and then wash them again for me. Don't waste them. Do you understand?"

Others might be sincere in saying not to waste, but Yan Xinyue is different. She is notorious for her extravagance. Whenever she is filming in another place, she must stay in a five-star hotel. When she takes a bath, she must use a special brand of mineral water. She will specially bring a truck over and ask Zhou Rui to open each bottle and heat it up before giving her a bath.

After hearing her crazy request, Zhou Rui looked at her with a strange look, not knowing what had stimulated her again. In the end, she frowned slightly, and still bent down and knelt on the carpet to pick cherries as she requested.

But the bowl was badly broken, and the glass shards mixed with the cherries and fell into the long pile of the carpet, making it impossible to see anything. She just reached out to pick up a few of them when her hand was accidentally pricked by the glass shards and bled.

"Ouch." Zhou Rui pulled her hand back in pain. A small piece of glass had been deeply embedded in her fingertip, and blood was constantly oozing out of it.

She looked at her fingers and gasped in pain, but without saying a word, she deftly took out the Band-Aid, gritted her teeth to squeeze out the glass shards, and quickly put the Band-Aid on.

The technique is very skillful.

Zhu Ying, the agent standing by, couldn't stand it any longer. She endured it again and again, but finally spoke up to persuade Yan Xinyue: "Xinyue, forget it. Why can't you use anything else to clean it? Why does Xiao Zhou have to pick it up with her hands? It's very dangerous. Look at her hands..."

Yan Xinyue gave her a cold look, half smiling, "Why do you feel so sorry for her? I give her 100,000 yuan a month. Just ask the entire capital, how many jobs can earn 100,000 yuan a month? Even you don't make as much as she does, so why do you feel sorry for her?"

As she spoke, she fiddled with her hair with her hands. She looked lazy, but her eyes fell on Zhou Rui's head without a trace of warmth: "Or maybe her face is really so pitiful that even a woman like you is bewitched by her..."

Seeing that she was saying some incomprehensible things again, Zhu Ying had no choice but to shut up.

Zhou Rui listened to Yan Xinyue's words without saying a word, and picked cherries even faster.

At this moment, the doorbell of the villa suddenly rang, startling the three people inside. Yan Xinyue had several places to stay, and few people came to the villa to find her on weekdays. Only her agent and Zhou Rui knew the location.

Oh, no, there's another person! Zhu Ying's expression immediately became nervous. Yan Xinyue understood immediately and became very nervous too. She pointed her pointed finger at Zhou Rui and said, "It's too late, too late. Take her to the closet and hide her!"

When Zhou Rui heard this, she also felt a little puzzled, but this was not the first time. She remembered that there was one time half a year ago. She didn't know who came at that time, but she only knew that Yan Xinyue suddenly became very nervous. The agent said to take her away, but Yan Xinyue said anxiously, "It's too late, too late." He asked her to wear a mask, and asked Zhu Ying to bring earplugs and an eye mask for her. He threw her into the closet of a remote guest room on the second floor and hid for several hours.

Zhou Rui didn't understand why this happened, but this was one of the conditions Yan Xinyue proposed when signing the contract.

She still remembered Yan Xinyue's condescending glance at her, "Zhou Rui, you have to know, there are many secrets in the industry. There are many things I can't explain to you, and I'm too lazy to explain. Just remember, do whatever I ask you to do. Keep your mouth shut and don't ask anything you shouldn't. If you can't do that, our agreement is terminated. You won't get a penny from me anymore, and your father must get out of Domalia Hospital immediately. You can go wherever you want, wherever you like to get treatment, but I will never provide you with a penny of help again!"

Zhou Rui immediately clenched her fists. Seeing her arrogant and sharp-tongued insulting look, she really wanted to slap her. But in the end, she slowly loosened her fists and compromised with gritted teeth.

Unless forced to do so, no one would endure insults and accept charity from others.

People often joke online: "If I offer you 100,000 yuan to slap you in the face, would you be willing?" Many netizens will respond with, "Of course I would! 100,000 yuan for a slap, and I can slap you into bankruptcy!"

But this is just empty talk after all. When you really encounter it in real life, you will know that it is not the case at all. The psychological trauma caused by being insulted is far greater than people imagine. If the money was not really needed to save her life, Zhou Rui would have wanted to throw all the money in Yan Xinyue's face.

Born into a wealthy family, she lived a comfortable and comfortable life. However, during her first year of high school, the fund her mother had invested in suddenly collapsed, leaving her devastated. Believing the fund's high profits, her mother invested most of the family's money and even borrowed money to leverage it, hoping to reap the high profits. However, the fund's sudden collapse and the fund company's chairman absconded with the funds, leaving the Zhou family's entire fund investment worthless.

Zhou's mother was so depressed that she couldn't get over it. The huge guilt in her heart made it impossible for her to reconcile with herself, and she didn't know how to face her family. So on a dark and windy night, she jumped from the 30th floor and committed suicide.

Zhou's mother jumped off the tree and left with nothing. However, the remaining debts made Zhou's father breathless. When the creditors came to harass him again, Zhou's father looked at his young and beautiful daughter and was afraid that she would be hurt. So he sold the ancestral property and used the last bit of money to send his daughter abroad, while he stayed in the country to pay off the debts.

Ten years later, the debt owed by the fund was finally paid off. The father and daughter shed tears across the Atlantic Ocean and through the mobile phone screen.

Zhou Rui thought everything was over and she could finally start a new life. She packed her luggage and prepared to return home. At this time, she received a call from the domestic hospital saying that her father had suddenly been in a car accident and his life or death was in danger.

Without saying a word, Zhou Rui immediately got up and returned home. When she arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that her father's condition was very serious and he might not wake up. Zhou Rui was stunned there, unable to believe that fate had played a trick on her again.

Finally, the operation was completed and Zhou's father's life was saved, but he became a vegetable. Sometimes his fingers moved occasionally, but he never woke up.

The doctor said that patients who can move their fingers may still wake up, but before waking up, a huge amount of money will have to be spent every month to pay for medical expenses and rehabilitation costs. This medicine is very expensive and cannot be stopped. Once it is stopped, the patient may never have the chance to wake up again.

Zhou Rui immediately despaired. Her family had been destitute over the years due to debt repayment. She couldn't possibly afford the 90,000 yuan monthly medical bill.

At this time, she met Yan Xinyue. She told Yan Xinyue to be her assistant and follow her arrangements. She would give her 100,000 yuan a month and transfer her father to the Domariya Private VIP Hospital, which is exclusively for celebrities and wealthy people. There are very famous neurologists there, and there will be special nurses to take care of her father.

The condition was that she had to do whatever Yan Xinyue asked her to do, without asking any questions or talking back.

Then every month, with Yan Xinyue's consent, she would arrange one day for her to visit her father, and the rest of the time he could only stay by her side.

In Zhou Rui's heart, Yan Xinyue was actually a rather perverted person. She would always inexplicably stare at her face, which was 70% similar to hers. Sometimes she seemed to be observing, and sometimes she seemed to be harboring an inexplicable resentment.

Then, every now and then, she would go crazy, and when she did, she would take it out on her, or come up with new ways to humiliate and torture her. Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder if Yan Xinyue couldn't stand others being like her, so she liked to embarrass her so much.

But it also feels wrong. If you really want someone, why would you give her so much money and almost buy out all her time to make her stay by your side?

If you really hate someone, shouldn't you ask her to stay away from you and get lost?

Zhou Rui couldn't understand why she did this, but she had no choice. She needed money, and at this time only Yan Xinyue was willing to give it to her.

So she didn't know how much she resembled Yan Xinyue, and whether it was fortunate or unfortunate to be tortured by her.

Thinking of this, Zhou Rui couldn't help but sigh, then consciously put on the mask, headphones, and eye mask, waiting for Zhu Ying to take her somewhere.

However, just as I put on my mask, someone called out at the door: "Is anyone inside? Your takeaway cake has arrived!"

Yan Xinyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, then she remembered: "Oh, by the way, I ordered a black swan cake before, and almost forgot."

Zhu Ying also breathed a sigh of relief at this time: "Xinyue, don't be so noisy next time. It's so scary. I really thought it was Boss Yi coming over just now."

She knew about the shady relationship between Yan Xinyue and Yi Sheng. Usually, Yi Sheng would call Yan Xinyue directly to ask her to come over. Only once, Yi Sheng suddenly came to visit for some unknown reason, which scared Yan Xinyue out of her wits.

She couldn't figure out the reason, so she suggested to Yan Xinyue that she and Zhou Rui should leave first so as not to disturb her and Yi Shengyue's world of two.

But at that time Yan Xinyue screamed like crazy, then pulled Zhou Rui over and frantically ordered herself to put on a mask, eye mask, and headphones for her. After repeatedly telling her not to move under any circumstances, she locked her in the closet.

Zhu Ying knew without thinking that the matter was not simple. There must be a reason why Yan Xinyue did not let Yi Sheng see Zhou Rui.

Her mind quickly recalled the past two or three years since Zhou Rui came here. In her impression, Zhou Rui had always been by Yan Xinyue's side, even taking her with her to filming, but usually she only let her stay in the nanny car and never asked her to come out.

Thinking about it carefully, Yan Xinyue had always kept Zhou Rui by her side for the past two or three years, but she never let her go where there were people. Even many actors who had worked with Yan Xinyue for several months on a film were still unaware that Yan Xinyue had a secret assistant after filming was completed.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. There must be some relationship between Yan Xinyue and Zhou Rui, but she knows the rules of the circle. Since Yan Xinyue doesn't say anything, she doesn't ask too much and pretends that she knows nothing.

After picking up the takeaway, Yan Xinyue felt a brief moment of relief, but then she couldn't help but complain, "Zhu Ying, what do you say I should do? I have to go record that damn show again tomorrow, and I really don't want to go!"

"I just asked that little bitch Wen Qianqian, but she refused to say anything. It really pissed me off!"

Zhu Ying had no choice but to reason with her: "Xinyue, I've thought carefully about what you told me about Zhang Chihao and Park Shun's car accident. The more I think about it, the more I think she must know something. She's a police officer and has more sources of information than we do. If someone really does sue you, it's better to ask for details, right?"

She patted Yan Xinyue's arm and said, "Xinyue, I think we'll be recording the show tomorrow. If you meet her, you should ask her nicely. Speak to her in a nicer tone and with a more respectful attitude. Maybe she'll tell you. If being nice to her can get some valuable information, it won't be a loss for us!"

Yan Xinyue thought for a long time before reluctantly agreeing: "Okay, okay."

The next day, "Fa Shuo Online" officially started recording. This time, the remaining few people learned their lesson. Apart from the necessary questions and speeches, they hardly said a word. They were as cautious as possible, for fear that they would be accidentally brought down by the program crew again.

In the first episode, it was Wen Qianqian's turn to record. The host introduced today's case and went through all the procedures of the program. At the end, he asked Wen Qianqian, "This episode's case is somewhat related to the entertainment industry. Celebrity A had an argument with an online friend over something. In the end, they decided to sue the online friend for defamation. They even @ed these online friends on Weibo and shared the report process. What do you think of this, Officer Wen?"

Wen Qianqian looked at the information provided by the host. Although Celebrity A had shared the reporting process, it was all the names of netizens who filed the lawsuit. After reading it, she smiled softly:

"Honestly, if you ask me, this report will be rejected once it's submitted. The court won't accept it. It's just a ploy to scare netizens."

After saying this, she pointed to the text on the documents and said, "Look, it's clearly stated here. A, because he hated being insulted by netizens, sued them for defamation. However, he only provided the court with their usernames. According to regulations, this case shouldn't be accepted; the court requires real names."

She smiled slightly: "So, this is just a way for celebrities to cover their mouths."

The host was immediately stunned. Off camera, he looked at the director for help, his eyes filled with fear, as if to say: Oh my god, is this even allowed? Will there really be no problems if this is broadcasted?

Unexpectedly, the director immediately gestured to him, asking him to play the show well and not to stop.

host:……

Okay, this world is crazy.

Wen Qianqian sat in front of the camera and said, "In reality, celebrities have money and certain social connections. In the relationship between celebrities and netizens, celebrities are the more powerful party. If he really wants to sue netizens, he can afford to hire the best lawyers. Netizens will have little power to defend themselves and will easily be bullied by celebrities."

"Comparatively speaking, some extreme netizens, the kind we often call mindless haters, who gather a group to constantly abuse and humiliate celebrities, also constitute bullying."

"So I call on both sides to remain calm as much as possible, keep a distance from each other, and maintain a clean and clear environment on the Internet."

"Great!" The director applauded immediately after the filming was completed. He smiled at Wen Qianqian and said, "I didn't expect Officer Wen to have such profound insights into the relationships in this industry that are so frustrating to talk about. I've finally seen what you're saying. You're right. If both sides can be more rational, the online environment will be better. The hostility will be less severe, and everyone will feel more comfortable."

The director became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, why didn't I think of asking you to participate in the first season?"

Wen Qianqian laughed it off and thought to herself, I wasn't here when you were filming the first season, so even if I were here, I would have to think twice.

At this moment, she finally understood what Zhao Shan said, "Anyone who dares to participate in this program is a warrior."

After the filming was completed, she walked out of the filming area and met Yan Xinyue, Yu Shao and Zeng Fanyi.

The three people had different expressions, but they all hesitated and seemed to have something to say.

Finally, Yan Xinyue stomped her feet and said, "Forget it. If you don't want to say it, I'll say it."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wen Qianqian and her voice became much sweeter: "Officer Wen, my tone was not good yesterday. We came here today specifically to ask you for advice."

"You've been through it all these past few days, so you probably know how terrifying and bizarre this ghost show is. You're a police officer, so you're not worried, but we're terrified. Could you tell us, even just a little hint, if we three can make it through safely?"

Wen Qianqian looked at her and instantly understood what she meant. She had used the contents of the book to calculate the time of Park Shun's accident in advance, but this action was seen by others as her having information and knowing the inside story.

Thinking of this, she smiled helplessly, but then she thought again, in a way, she did have inside information.

Yan Xinyue observed her expression and felt that he knew something, so she begged her even harder: "Officer Wen, for the sake of recording a program together, please save us! We really don't want to crash here!"

After saying this, Yu Shao and Zeng Fanyi nodded vigorously.

Wen Qianqian took a deep breath and finally decided to reveal something. She looked at Yan Xinyue seriously and said, "I can save both of them, but I can't save you."
