There was a moment of silence, followed by enthusiastic applause.
Celebrities have seen their share of big events and have filmed all kinds of movies and TV series, but such a sweet scene is truly rare.
They clapped and cheered, whether out of genuine feeling or just to make a show, no one wanted to miss this opportunity to express themselves, and their blessings were more sincere than the last.
Huo Junyu led Jiang Mianmian in a graceful dance. Jiang Mianmian had taken off her high heels, making her movements even more lithe. Although she wasn't very good at dancing, Huo Junyu took care of her, and she wasn't nervous at all.
The two seemed like a perfect couple, drawing countless compliments.
After the dance, Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian were resting in the VIP room, discussing the next steps in the operation of the film studio, when Lu Ran rushed in in a panic.
"sister!"
Jiang Mianmian was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
Lu Ran was sweating profusely and couldn't explain herself clearly in a short time.
Huo Junyang, who arrived shortly after, said with a serious expression and urgent tone, "It's a complete mess outside... Many celebrities are experiencing vomiting and diarrhea, and even reporters haven't escaped it!"
"What?" Jiang Mianmian's expression changed, and she was about to rush out.
Huo Junyu took her hand. "I'll go with you."
“Brother, Little Yuzu,” Huo Junyang continued, “someone has already called an ambulance, and an artist’s agent has also called the police. The police will probably be here soon… This kind of mass incident is likely to be very troublesome!”
Jiang Mianmian's heart tightened.
Even if it's troublesome, she has to pull herself together and deal with it. But since everyone involved is a public figure, the best thing to do right now is to minimize the damage and prevent the matter from spreading.
"Ranran," she said softly after a moment of calm, "please take my parents home first and tell them that I'm here so they don't have to worry."
“Yes, first send all the members of the various families and their elders back.” Huo Junyu looked at Huo Junyang, “Yangyang, I’m leaving this matter to you!”
Huo Junyang nodded, "Don't worry, brother."
Then Huo Junyu called Wen Jie and told him and his legal team to be prepared. He also contacted Huo's United Hospital and told them that if any celebrities were to receive treatment, all medical staff were not allowed to disclose the information.
Jiang Mianmian quickly contacted the group's public relations department to compile a list of artists who had experienced vomiting and diarrhea. The list was quite long, and the agents were in an uproar, all demanding an explanation.
Jiang Mianmian could only avoid seeing him for the time being.
But Jackie came looking for him again not long after.
"Mr. Lu, our Huanhuan, she..."
"How is You Huan?"
"Huanhuan is alright," Jackie breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Junyu frowned, his eyes capable of killing.
Why are you in such a panic if nothing's wrong?
Jackie said with a forced smile, "Um... Huanhuan asked me to let Mr. Lu know I'm safe! Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Mianmian called out to him, "You said You Huan is alright?"
"yes."
"What did she eat last night? Who did she come into contact with? Why is everyone else experiencing diarrhea and vomiting to varying degrees, but she isn't?"
Jackie thought for a moment and replied, "Huanhuan is the spokesperson for the film studio, so she'll definitely have a few drinks tonight. But Huanhuan has a trick for avoiding alcohol... It's like, she holds her glass and tries to distract herself, only touching the rim of the glass, and then changing the subject... Anyway, she can 'pass through a sea of flowers without touching a drop of alcohol'!"
"Where's the drink?"
"Huanhuan has given up sugar, so she definitely won't drink any sugary drinks! As for food... she did eat some vegetables, which are low in calories."
Jiang Mianmian understood.
Based on the feedback from the public relations department and the hospital, the celebrities all contracted the disease through their food. Since You Huan is fine, the problem wasn't with the food.
It's in alcoholic beverages!
Jiang Mianmian frowned and looked at Huo Junyu. Huo Junyu was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and they seemed to understand each other's thoughts.
At that moment, a policeman pushed the door open and entered.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Lu Xiaoyou?"
Jiang Mianmian was stunned for a moment, "I am..."
"Based on our preliminary investigation, we suspect that someone poisoned the alcoholic beverages."
"Who did it? Have you found out?"
The police officer looked at Jiang Mianmian with a complicated expression. "Ms. Lu, during our investigation, we received a mysterious phone call. Someone reported that... all the drinks at this banquet were personally prepared by you!"
"What?"
Jiang Mianmian froze, her mind going blank. "Don't tell me you suspect me?"
"Until we have solid evidence, we cannot overlook anyone connected to this case." The police officer was respectful, but his eyes were cold. "Ms. Lu, please come with us to the police station to cooperate with the investigation!"
*
Huo Junyu stayed at the police station for a day and a night.
He couldn't get in and didn't know what was going on inside. Although he appeared calm on the surface, every second was an unbearable ordeal for him.
Wen Jie and his legal team were already waiting there. Seeing his state, he walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "It will be 24 hours soon. If there isn't enough evidence, they will have to release her first. Don't worry, Mianmian is doing well, and the people inside won't make things difficult for her."
Huo Junyu believed this.
Given the power of the Lu and Huo families, and the fact that the matter was completely fabricated, the police didn't dare to make things too difficult for Jiang Mianmian.
But if he couldn't see her for even a second, his heart would be in his throat.
Wen Jie checked his watch; it was exactly 24 hours. Just then, a police officer called him over.
After completing all the formalities, Jiang Mianmian walked out from behind a door.
