[Chapter 497: Reflect on Yourself]
Lan Yuanzhou rubbed his temple and said, "Keep checking. There must be something we overlooked."
Sheng Yu nodded and started to organize the information again.
At this moment, Lan Yuanzhou's cell phone suddenly rang. It was director Li calling.
"Hey, Yuanzhou, I have something here. I don't know if it has anything to do with Xueyi's fall from the horse." Director Li's voice was cautious.
Lan Yuanzhou perked up instantly: "Director Li, you said that any detail could be the key."
"Today, a staff member found a bloody needle on the set. Thinking about what happened that day when I fell off the horse, I felt suspicious, so I called you," said Director Li.
Lan Yuanzhou's heart was shocked: "A bloody needle? Director Li, where is the needle now? Can you keep it for now? I will send someone to get it right away."
"Okay, I'll keep it for now. You come as soon as possible." Director Li responded.
After hanging up the phone, Lan Yuanzhou told Sheng Yu the clue, "This needle may be the key. Let's go to the set."
The two quickly booked flights and rushed to Haicheng. When they arrived at the set, Lan Yuanzhou carefully took the bloody needle handed to him by Director Li and put it into the evidence bag.
"Director Li, thank you so much. If this is really related to the case, you would be a great help." Lan Yuanzhou thanked him sincerely.
Director Li waved his hand: "It's all to make things clear, you're welcome."
Lan Yuanzhou then contacted a laboratory to test the blood and residual substances on the needle. The results showed that the blood belonged to the horse that had the accident, and the residual substance was a drug that could scare animals instantly.
Lan Yuanzhou also asked Sheng Yu to investigate the whereabouts and communication records of Chen Xueyi and her assistant before and after the fall. Sure enough, it was discovered that Chen Xueyi and her assistant had had many secret conversations before the fall, and the assistant had also been to a store selling special medicines before the incident.
The store owner checked the surveillance records and confirmed that Chen Xueyi's assistant had indeed purchased the drug that could make horses go crazy.
Lan Yuanzhou's eyes suddenly turned gloomy.
It turned out that Chen Xueyi really directed and acted in it herself!
"I didn't expect Miss Chen to be so scheming and bold that she even dared to put the blame on Miss Huo Nian..." Sheng Yu clicked his tongue, very surprised.
Lan Yuanzhou couldn't help but wonder if everything that happened in the past was directed and acted by Chen Xueyi herself in order to destroy the relationship between him and Huo Nian.
It is precisely because his previous tricks were successful every time that he is so bold. In the final analysis, it is all because of his indulgence.
Thinking of how Huo Nian had suffered many injustices because of his poor judgment of people, Lan Yuanzhou's heart suddenly tightened, and guilt surged out like a tide.
Afterwards, he will definitely make it up to Nian Nian.
Now, he had other things to do.
Lan Yuanzhou turned around and left the shop, flew back to the imperial capital, and went straight to the hospital with the police.
At this time, Chen Xueyi was complaining to her assistant, "I didn't expect that Brother Yuanzhou didn't believe me at the first time and went to check the truth."
The assistant consoled her, "Don't worry, we won't find out anything. We haven't even approached Ma. As long as there's no evidence to prove that Huo Nian didn't do it, she'll have to take the blame. Who told her to act like she doesn't like you? When the time is right, have the company buy a few more trending searches. You can play the victim, which will not only make your fans feel bad and increase their stickiness, but you might even attract more fans. Huo Nian's reputation will definitely be ruined."
Chen Xueyi frowned, feeling uneasy, "I don't know where the needle in my hand fell when I fell off the horse, is there any accident?"
The assistant assured her, "Don't worry, the set is so big, and we were shooting on the grass, who could see a tiny needle?"
After hearing her words, Chen Xueyi felt relieved, "That's good."
As he was speaking, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and Lan Yuanzhou walked in with the police.
When Chen Xueyi and her assistant saw this scene, their faces turned pale instantly.
"Brother Yuan... Yuanzhou, why are you here with the police?" Chen Xueyi pretended to be calm, but her voice couldn't help trembling.
Lan Yuanzhou looked at her with cold eyes: "Chen Xueyi, it's time to end the good things you have done."
The police came forward and showed their ID: "Chen Xueyi, you are suspected of defaming others, please come with us."
Upon seeing this, the assistant tried to sneak away but was stopped by the police.
"Why did you arrest me? I didn't do anything!" Chen Xueyi was still quibbling.
Lan Yuanzhou threw the evidence in his hand in front of her: "You still want to deny it? Here is the blood on the needle and the test report of the medicine, as well as the surveillance of your assistant buying the medicine, and your communication records. The evidence is solid, you can't escape."
Chen Xueyi picked up the evidence and saw the content on it. Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably and the color on her face gradually faded.
"No, this is impossible, I didn't do it!" She was still struggling.
Lan Yuanzhou snorted coldly: "In order to achieve your goal, you used all means possible. You deliberately staged your own fall from a horse and even put the blame on Nian Nian. You really disappoint me."
Chen Xueyi slumped on the bed with empty eyes, knowing that the situation was hopeless.
The assistant was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, unable to utter a word.
"Brother Yuanzhou, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time." Chen Xueyi suddenly cried and begged, "I saved you before. Please forgive me this time because I saved you. I can't go to jail, otherwise my career will be ruined and my son will be left without a mother. Can you bear to see him without a mother?"
"Have I not repaid your kindness? You have risen from an unknown 18th-tier star to a third-tier star now. The resources I invested in you have already paid you back." Lan Yuanzhou looked at her without a trace of mercy: "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. This is what you deserve."
"You should never, ever, ever try to sow discord between me and Nian Nian again and again."
"Reflect on yourself!"
Afterwards, the police took Chen Xueyi and her assistant away.
After finishing his work here, Lan Yuanzhou rushed to Huo Nian's apartment without stopping.
Standing at the door, he took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Huo Nian's voice came from inside the house, with a hint of vigilance.
"Niannian, it's me. I have something important to tell you." Lan Yuanzhou tried his best to make his voice sound steady.
There was silence in the room for a while, and then footsteps were heard.
The door slowly opened, and Huo Nian saw that it was him, with a complicated expression.
"Niannian, I found the evidence. Chen Xueyi has been taken away by the police." Lan Yuanzhou said quickly.
After hearing this, Huo Nian's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he returned to indifference: "So? Can this make up for the harm you have done to me?"
Lan Yuanzhou looked at her with red eyes: "Niannian, I know I was wrong. I don't ask you to forgive me immediately, but I hope you can give me a chance to make amends. I will use the days to come to prove my love for you."
Huo Nian turned his head away, "I don't need it anymore."
Lan Yuanzhou took a step forward and then stopped: "Niannian, I know that apologizing is useless. I will use my actions to make you trust me again. Please give me another chance."
Huo Nian bit her lip, feeling very conflicted. She looked at Lan Yuanzhou and didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, she said slowly, "Forget it, we broke up a long time ago, and I don't want to repeat the same mistake again."
She is going to close the door.
Lan Yuanzhou suddenly pushed the door with his hand. Huo Nian couldn't hold back his strength and his hand was pinched hard.
"You're crazy!" Huo Nian was startled and quickly opened the door.
