"They are both about to be rescued, but you are the only one who can't." This sentence seems to be said casually by Wen Qianqian, but it has another deeper meaning.
According to the description in the novel, although Zeng Fanyi and Pu Shun also fell in the end, if you consider the logic of the novel, you will find it very far-fetched. It seems that these two people fell purely to be used as tools to slap the heroine Yue Yingxue in the face. They are actually a bit wronged.
At least in her opinion, these two people are different from Zhang Chihao, Pu Shun and Yan Xinyue before. Their downfall was more or less implicated by others, and they had no subjective motive to do evil.
Another reason is that according to the timeline of the novel, their downfall should be at least a few months away, so it is still possible to save the situation.
Zhang Chihao and Pu Shun had already gone in and accepted their punishment, but Yan Xinyue was different. She had been doing evil for a long time, but she still felt she was innocent. When she heard Wen Qianqian say that she could save the other two but not her, she suddenly felt like she was being targeted: "Wen Qianqian, what do you mean?"
She bit her lip and stared at her intently. "You did this on purpose, didn't you? Okay, now I know. You've been targeting me from the beginning. You were just waiting to see my show, right?"
She rolled her eyes. "Sorry, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I do have a bad temper, and I might have some minor issues. But if you want to see my show, haha, I'm afraid it won't be that easy! I've never been involved in pornography, gambling, or drugs. Even if you were a police officer, what could you do to me?"
Zeng Fanyi, who was standing by, was also a little hesitant: "Save me? But Officer Wen, I swear, I really haven't done a single bad thing. Is there something wrong with me?"
Yu Shao, standing by, scratched his head in bewilderment. "...Um... could this be a mistake? Do I need to be saved when I haven't done anything?"
After the two finished their questions, Yan Xinyue, who had been standing by and watching coldly, burst into laughter. "Oh, Officer Wen, is this your intelligence? Don't make me laugh to death! Or are you deliberately making everyone look flawed so that you can look like a pure and innocent lotus?"
Wen Qianqian looked at her arrogant and aggressive appearance and sneered, "It doesn't matter whether I'm a white lotus or not. What matters is that I know you're almost done."
"You!" Yan Xinyue was suddenly furious.
Anyway, the recording was completed this morning. Wen Qianqian casually packed up her things, not even bothering to look at Yan Xinyue, and went straight to her nanny car.
Yan Xinyue was originally quite stubborn, but when she saw Wen Qianqian change direction and head towards her nanny car, her heart suddenly beat violently, her face turned pale, and she immediately had a bad premonition. So she quickly ran in front of her and stretched out her hand to block her way: "Where are you going?"
Wen Qianqian was amused by her: "Why do you care where I go? This is not your home."
Yan Xinyue was stunned by the question, then bit her lip and said, "My car is there!"
Wen Qianqian curled her lips: "Oh, so? Is there anything shameful in your car?"
After saying that, he lightly flashed to the side, easily bypassed her obstruction, and walked directly to the outside of her RV.
Yan Xinyue followed her until she saw her stop in front of her car. The uneasiness and fear in her heart reached its peak at this moment, and she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest: Why? Why did she come here suddenly?
Wen Qianqian stopped under the car, glanced at Yan Xinyue with a half-smile, and then, in her fear, she called out the name that made her dread and despise: "Zhou Rui, are you in the car?"
Yan Xinyue's heart suddenly fell into ice and her whole body trembled.
Zhou Rui was packing Yan Xinyue's makeup case in the nanny car. She was stunned when she heard the voice. It seemed like this was the first time in two years that someone called her name at the filming location of the show. She was a little uncomfortable for a moment.
"Who is it?" Zhou Rui answered hesitantly.
Not many people know her name, but Zhu Ying is used to calling her "Xiao Zhou" and Yan Xinyue calls her "Hey".
Wen Qianqian knocked on the window of the nanny car: "Zhou Rui, I'm Wen Qianqian, a police officer from District C of the Imperial Capital. I have something I want to talk to you about."
Zhou Rui immediately understood. She knew this legendary Officer Wen. She'd heard he was once a celebrity in the entertainment industry, but through his hard work, he'd become a civil servant. Last time, Yan Xinyue had been so angry she'd asked her to go to the lounge to touch up her makeup. She'd also had the good fortune to meet Officer Wen. She was truly a dashing beauty.
But perhaps Yan Xinyue didn't think so in her heart. She had heard her cursing Officer Wen countless times at home or in the car. She didn't agree at all, but she didn't dare to disobey. She could only lower her head silently and not listen every time Yan Xinyue scolded her.
She had a very good impression of Wen Qianqian, so she didn't ask any more questions. She immediately opened the door, got out of the nanny car, and looked at her timidly: "Hello, Officer Wen, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Yan Xinyue stood nearby, her face pale as she watched Zhou Rui come out. Before Wen Qianqian could say anything, she pointed at her, her voice trembling: "Zhou Rui! Who told you to come out? Who told you to talk to people so casually? Get back in now!"
Wen Qianqian frowned immediately. She knew that there were many passages in the novel describing Yan Xinyue abusing Zhou Rui, but when she saw someone ordering another person around so casually in real life, she really couldn't stand it.
She glanced at Yan Xinyue coldly: "Miss Yan, what do you mean by this? You don't allow her to come out and see people, you don't allow her to talk to people. Are you imprisoning her in broad daylight and in front of the police?"
Yan Xinyue was stunned and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She opened her mouth but didn't dare to stop him.
Wen Qianqian then turned to look at Zhou Rui: "I have something I want to ask you alone. Can you come and talk with me?"
Zhou Rui instinctively wanted to nod, but when she saw Yan Xinyue whispering "Do you want more money?" in her lips, she hesitated for a moment and immediately changed her attitude, becoming very firm: "I'm sorry, Officer Wen, I can't talk to you."
After saying that, he took a deep breath and even turned around to leave.
Yan Xinyue on the side curled the corners of her mouth, looking like she was sure of victory.
"Is it because of your father's illness?" Wen Qianqian shouted at her weak back, feeling a little sad in her heart. Such a good person was tamed by Yan Xinyue.
When she heard the word "Dad", she bit her lip hard, paused slightly, and continued to walk into the car.
At this moment, Zhou Rui's eyes were filled with warmth. Hearing the word "Dad" made her unable to control her emotions. Her mother had jumped to her death in her first year of high school. Her father, determined to protect her, had sent her abroad, while he himself was in debt in China. He had endured countless hardships for 10 years. After finally paying off his debts, his life seemed to be getting better, but then this happened.
She has already lost her mother and cannot lose her father again. Her father is the most important person to her in this world.
Zhou Rui's nails dug deep into her flesh. Under Yan Xinyue's control, she hadn't seen her father for a long time. She could only occasionally see him through the video sent by the caregiver, and then she had to serve Yan Xinyue.
When she heard Wen Qianqian say "Dad", she really wanted to sit down and have a good chat with the police officer, but reality did not allow it. She needed money. She knew deeply that only Yan Xinyue could give her this huge amount of money. Although the police officer looked kind, she would not help her pay the medical expenses. Therefore, compared to the police officer, she needed Yan Xinyue more.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and walked towards the car.
Yan Xinyue smiled even more proudly.
"So, Zhou Rui, since you love your father so much, you don't care about what happened at Domalia Hospital?" Wen Qianqian stood there and looked at her quietly.
"What did you say? What happened in the hospital?" Zhou Rui couldn't hold back any longer after hearing the news. "Did something happen to my dad?"
Wen Qianqian chuckled: "Come with me, I'll tell you."
"Zhou Rui! She's lying to you, can't you see?" Yan Xinyue said sharply, "The hospital is fine. If anything happened, the police would have already reported it! She's just trying to trick you. Go back now!"
This time Zhou Rui stood still without moving. This was related to her father's safety. Nothing could be more important than this matter, and she had to get to the bottom of it.
At this moment, a deep male voice suddenly rang out from behind Wen Qianqian. The voice was not loud, but it carried a lot of weight. "Miss Zhou, please follow Officer Wen. Don't worry about your father's illness. I can have him admitted to a hospital owned by the Lu Group. I can find the best neurologist in the country to treat him, and I can find a professional rehabilitation team to work with him until he recovers."
Zhou Rui looked up at the voice and looked at the person in disbelief, and found that it was Lu Xingyan, the president of the well-known Lu Group in the country.
"Mr. Lu?" She couldn't believe it.
He was wearing a gray coat and stood quietly behind Wen Qianqian, looking at him: "Just follow Officer Wen, and I will take care of your father's affairs to the end. I promise."
In an instant, it was as if a heavy burden was lifted from these fragile shoulders. She had been carrying it for a long time, and suddenly someone promised to take it for her. She couldn't help but burst into tears.
Wen Qianqian was also surprised by Lu Xingyan's sudden appearance and asked him curiously, "Why are you here?"
Lu Xingyan smiled and said, "I came to see you, but I didn't expect to overhear all this."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's get down to business." He waved at Wen Qianqian, "Go ahead, take Miss Zhou away."
Wen Qianqian understood, waved and smiled at her, then left with Zhou Rui.
Yan Xinyue was left stunned for a long time before reacting and yelling frantically behind her: "Zhou Rui, come back! Where have you been? Come back here quickly!"
But this time, Zhou Rui ignored her.
Wen Qianqian took Zhou Rui for a walk and came to a small closed cubicle in the TV station. The surroundings were very quiet and very suitable for chatting. She had borrowed this cubicle specifically from the director.
After they sat down, Wen Qianqian smiled at Zhou Rui and said, "Please feel free to sit down. But there's no tea or snacks here. I can't treat you. I'm a little sorry."
Zhou Rui immediately shook her head. "Officer Wen, that's too polite." She then gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Forget tea and snacks. I haven't even had a proper break in the past two years. Just being able to sit down and chat about him is a luxury."
After that, she didn't bother to guess any more and asked directly, "Officer Wen, what do you want to talk to me about?"
She looked at Wen Qianqian intently: "Taking care of my father will be a huge expense. What exactly do you want to do by helping me like this?"
Wen Qianqian lowered her head and smiled: "Miss Zhou, don't be nervous. I am different from Yan Xinyue. I won't force you to do anything. Besides, it's Mr. Lu who is helping you, not me."
Zhou Rui then nodded.
But the next second, Wen Qianqian's words made her nervous again: "Actually, I called you here this time because I really have something."
Her voice was clear: "I want to advise you to report Yan Xinyue."
"What?" Zhou Rui was so shocked that she almost stood up, then shook her head: "No, this won't work."
Wen Qianqian raised her eyebrows slightly: "But didn't she treat you very badly?"
"For example, she made you sleep in the hallway of her house, made you help her move furniture, made you kneel down to tie her shoelaces, spit in your hands when she didn't want to eat, made you kneel down to mop the entire three-story floor of her house every day, and hit you at least seven or eight times. She treated you like this, and you didn't sue her?"
Zhou Rui was surprised: "How do you know all this?" Then she hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head: "She was indeed very mean to me, but at the same time, she also gave me money."
She smiled bitterly: "It's my bad luck. It's my fault. I have no reason to sue her."
"Although Yan Xinyue treated me badly, she didn't do it to the point of breaking the law."
After Zhou Rui finished speaking, Wen Qianqian immediately understood why Yan Xinyue was so fearless. It turned out that she had already figured out Zhou Rui's character and had a firm grasp on her, expecting that she would never talk nonsense.
Just like now, even in front of the police officer Wen Qianqian, facing such a perfect opportunity to report her, she still didn't say a word. So, Zhou Rui was able to be controlled by Yan Xinyue for two years without saying anything bad about her. In addition to being too kind, she also had a bit of a saintly character.
Wen Qianqian understood, and then continued, "Half a year ago, you went to S City with Yan Xinyue and Zhu Ying. Halfway there, she suddenly lost her temper with you and left you on the highway. You were almost hit by a car, and you walked for five hours before you reached the service area. Do you still think she did it unintentionally?"
Zhou Rui thought for a moment and said, "I remember that incident. It was indeed very dangerous at the time. Luckily, I was walking outside the fence. If I had walked inside, I would have died right away."
She shook her head. "But that was an accident. Yan Xinyue couldn't have predicted that a truck would pass by at that moment."
Alas, after hearing what she said, Wen Qianqian couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This person must have been brainwashed so badly that he was still willing to believe that Yan Xinyue was innocent.
Wen Qianqian said lightly, "I found a video at the police station of her throwing you out of the car on the highway six months ago."
"You think it was an accident, and that Yan Xinyue couldn't have known in advance that a car was coming, but what if I tell you that she actually knew?"
She handed over a report: "First, leaving someone behind on the highway is illegal. Every year, many people get killed while leaving the highway. Second, take a close look at this report. The place where she left you has been involved in 17 accidents in just three years. Do you think she just randomly dropped you off, or did she do it on purpose?"
"Also," she straightened her expression, "that day Yan Xinyue didn't leave quickly after she left you behind. She found the nearest exit from the highway and waited not far from it. What do you think she was waiting for?"
Zhou Rui shuddered. "You mean to say Yan Xinyue wanted to kill me on purpose, and even waited to see if I was hit by a car?"
She couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Why is this?"
Wen Qianqian took the report and analyzed it calmly: "Although I'm not sure about the specific circumstances of her previous contact with you, this time, I think she may have intended to kill you, but she just didn't succeed."
After hearing this, Zhou Rui's big eyes were filled with fear for the first time.
However, before she could calm down, Wen Qianqian handed her a second set of materials.
Zhou Rui looked at the large characters "Domalia Private VIP Hospital" on the cover of the document and was a little confused: "What is this?"
"This is the report from yesterday's police inspection of the Imperial Capital Domalia Hospital branch. Page 3 details some doctors illegally administering excessive medications without the knowledge of their patients. Your father was one of those patients."
"What?!" Zhou Rui stood up in shock. This time she really couldn't remain calm anymore.
Wen Qianqian's fingers flicked across the report, a bit lost in thought. She recalled the contents of the novel. In fact, Yan Xinyue's downfall wasn't now, but two years later, when she and Park Shunyi had their downfalls one after the other.
In the book, the reason for Yan Xinyue's downfall was that in order to keep controlling Zhou Rui, she instigated a doctor she was familiar with at Domalia Hospital to add a sedative to Zhou Rui's father's medicine, causing Zhou's father, who should have woken up two years ago, to remain in a coma.
As long as Zhou's father doesn't wake up, she can control Zhou Rui for one more day.
However, this kind of medicine cannot be taken too much, and long-term use will bring immeasurable consequences. In the end, Zhou's father died due to excessive use of the drug, which caused blockage of blood vessels throughout the body and failed rescue.
When Zhou Rui was investigating the cause of her father's death, she accidentally discovered the illegal use of drugs and finally identified Yan Xinyue, the instigator behind the death.
After her father's death, Zhou Rui was devastated. Her fate was already miserable, and now she had to face the death of her only relative. Even though the murderer Yan Xinyue was finally caught, it did not bring her much comfort. Perhaps because she was completely hopeless, Zhou Rui died of depression not long after.
In the book, netizens attributed Zhou Rui's death to Yan Xinyue, hated her to the core, and cursed her in various ways.
But what's the use of this? The dead cannot be resurrected. Thinking of this, Wen Qianqian pinched her fingers. While everything is still in time, she will do her best to save it.
That's why she specifically asked Pei You to check Zhou's father's medication, and sure enough, she found a problem.
Wen Qianqian looked at Zhou Rui and told her the truth: "We found an extra sedative in your father's medicine. An overdose could be fatal."
Zhou Rui stood there blankly, as if listening to a ghost story, feeling confused and scared.
"We have detained the doctor who used the medicine in violation of regulations. After interrogation, he has admitted that Yan Xinyue asked him to do so." Wen Qianqian continued to talk about the situation in the hospital.
"The police will issue a formal notice at noon today and will bring Yan Xinyue back for questioning."
"Why? Why does she treat me like this?" Zhou Rui, who had always been gentle and calm, finally couldn't stand it anymore and finally asked the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.
She had followed Yan Xinyue for two years, but she still didn't understand why Yan Xinyue, who had no grudges against her, would enjoy torturing her and why she would be so cruel as to add more medicine to her father's body.
"It's enough for her to torture me, why did she have to hurt my dad? Is there something I did that didn't satisfy her?!" Zhou Rui began to get hysterical.
Facing Zhou Rui's question, Wen Qianqian thought for a moment, then asked her, "You should know that you and Yan Xinyue look a lot like each other?"
Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had known about it for so long, but she just thought it was Yan Xinyue's special hobby, to find someone similar to herself and then torture her for fun.
Wen Qianqian then asked, "Do you know Yi Sheng?"
Zhou Rui thought for a moment and said, "I know Yan Xinyue has a subordinate whose boss is named Yi, but I don't know his full name, and I don't know him personally."
"That's because he changed his last name," she said quietly. "I changed my name to Lin Sheng. Have you heard of it?"
Wen Qianqian's voice was very soft, but to Zhou Rui, it was like a gust of out-of-season wind that suddenly blew time back to more than ten years ago.
"Lin Sheng..." Zhou Rui muttered the name silently, and countless memories suddenly came to her mind. That year, they were wearing high school uniforms. The arrogant boy suddenly patted her shoulder and conjured up a box of chocolate cake when she turned around.
Memories kept pouring back, the boy's arrogant smile becoming clearer, then turning into Yan Xinyue's gnashing teeth as she pointed at her and scolded her...
Zhou Rui looked up suddenly and suddenly realized, could it be because of that person?
**
Wen Qianqian and Zhou Rui were having a secret conversation, while the traffic outside the studio was still gossiping tirelessly:
"A new day has arrived, and our online show has been broadcasting silently for another half day. Let's review the events of the first day of "Flip Oh, No ...
"Family, do you think there will be any surprises today? I'll tell you a secret Easter egg. Insider information says someone saw Yan Xinyue and Wen Qianqian arguing next to the nanny car. What do you think? Hehehe, will there be something we want to see?"
As soon as the broadcast ended, a familiar sound of a police car rang out downstairs. The people in the live studio had been getting impatient with the host's chatter all morning, but when they heard the sound of the police car, they suddenly became excited:
Friends, do you hear the sound of police cars?
[I heard it. It's shocking. This is the third time I've heard the sound of a police car on the overturned car online. What other surprises does it have that I don't know about?]
So, ladies, whose turn is it this time? Rub your hands together excitedly, Yan Xinyue or Zeng Fanyi?
…
Amidst the heated online discussion, Zhao Shan came up from downstairs with a group of people.
At this time, Wen Qianqian and Zhou Rui had already finished their conversation and returned to the studio. Yan Xinyue, Zeng Fanyi, and Yu Shao also came back. Not long after they sat down, they saw a group of people in uniform walking in quickly.
Zeng Fanyi frowned, Yu Shao looked around in confusion, and Yan Xinyue hid behind Zhu Ying and trembled.
Only the director slapped his forehead vigorously, wanting to cry but no tears: It starts again, it starts again, it’s endless, right?... What should I do with my show...
Zhao Shan walked over with a rare serious expression and headed straight for Yan Xinyue. "Hello, Ms. Yan. I'm Zhao Shan, a police officer at the Imperial Capital District C Police Station. We have a case of suspected illegal drug use and we need your cooperation in the investigation. Please come with us."
Wen Qianqian was watching her from the side. Just when she thought he was unusually serious and looked somewhat serious, she saw him secretly make a "yeah" gesture to her.
Wen Qianqian: ...
Okay, I can pretend on the outside, but I’m still a goofball on the inside.
After hearing this, Yan Xinyue screamed, "I'm not a doctor, and I don't know how to use medicine. You've arrested the wrong person! Why are you arresting me?!"
After saying this, he became more and more scared and started to run away.
Wen Qianqian, who was standing by, made a quick decision. Seeing that she was about to run, she immediately stretched out a leg gracefully in front of her.
"Bang", Yan Xinyue tripped and almost fell to the ground. Someone helped her up. She subconsciously looked over and found that it was Zhao Shan.
"You can't arrest me. I've done nothing wrong. Why are you arresting me?" Yan Xinyue kept screaming, which made Zhao Shan's ears hurt. He waved his hand, and two female police officers immediately stood up behind him and took Yan Xinyue out.
"Oh my god, it's so noisy. It's finally quiet." Zhao Shan leaned close to Wen Qianqian and whispered.
"But you guys are such gossips!" He chuckled at her twice and left with a group of people.
The marketing accounts outside were stunned. After Zhao Shan and the others had all left, they finally reacted and started live streaming with their fans:
"Family members, I was stunned just now. What's going on? Yan Xinyue was also taken away! Does anyone know what's going on?"
The live broadcast room immediately became noisy:
[I never expected that I would miss another one while I was in the restroom. It seems I’ll have to take my phone with me to the restroom when I want to watch the online car flips from now on. Otherwise, I’ll miss it!]
[I'm so heartbroken. Yan Xinyue's latest role in a period drama was my white moonlight. She went into prison right after filming. What should I do? Can this drama still be aired?]
[It probably won't be broadcast anymore, but I'm really curious about what exactly Yan Xinyue did wrong. Did you hear what the police just said? What about illegal medication? What does this have to do with Yan Xinyue?]
[Yes, Park Sun and Zhang Chihao both explained it clearly, why is Yan Xinyue so vague? What happened to her?]
Soon, #Yan Xinyue was taken away by the police# and #What happened to Yan Xinyue# became the hot search terms. Just when the whole internet was speculating about what happened to Yan Xinyue, someone suddenly approached Wen Qianqian.
Lu Xingyan had a meeting in the afternoon, so he came to see her during his lunch break and then left in a hurry.
Yan Xinyue was suddenly arrested and the program was interrupted again. The director once again announced that everyone should go home and continue filming tomorrow.
Wen Qianqian packed up her things and was about to leave when she saw two men in black suits and sunglasses blocking her way.
She glanced at the two big men in front of her and smiled coldly: "I guess you can't beat me if you want to fight, and as long as you use force, it will be considered assaulting a police officer. How about it, do you want to give it a try?"
She folded her hands, eager to try.
Unfortunately, when the two big men saw her, they bowed in unison without saying a word: "Hello, Officer Wen, Mr. Yi said he wanted to meet you and asked us to invite you."
"Boss Yi?" Wen Qianqian was curious: "Yi Sheng?"
"Yes!" One of the big men said in a loud voice, "Boss Yi has asked you to come with us. We will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
Wen Qianqian was suddenly happy. Okay, she also wanted to meet Yi Sheng and see if this was a fair way to treat him.
