At the critical moment
A blur flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Qianmo felt the scene before her eyes flash, and she was dragged away by a force.
Clang!
The shelves slammed hard onto the ground, the heavy wooden cabinets causing the entire makeshift stage to shake violently.
The celebrities and reporters present were all in a panic, and no one noticed whether Bai Qianmo had actually been hit.
"Qianmo!"
Su Peishan screamed and staggered to her feet: "Help! Qianmo is still down there!"
At this moment, Bai Qianmo had already been pulled off the stage by the men in black.
The platform was over two meters high, and she was in a corner on the side, which was a blind spot when viewed from the front.
Seeing the man holding her, a hint of surprise flashed across Bai Qianmo's usually cold and aloof eyes.
"Xu Changchong?"
The man was dressed in a black robe, and his face still wore a ferocious mask. His eyes were as black as ink and unfathomable.
"Are you injured?" he asked with concern.
Bai Qianmo frowned slightly, gently freed her hand from his waist, and took a step back.
"I'm alright, thank you for saving me."
At that moment, Su Peishan called out her name in terror from the stage. Bai Qianmo glanced at Xu Changchong and said, "My agent is calling me. I'm going up."
Xu Changchong stood there silently watching her without saying a word.
Bai Qianmo glanced at him again, but didn't say anything. She turned around and walked out quickly.
"I'm here!"
Su Peishan was carrying the shelf with a group of people when she heard Bai Qianmo's voice behind her. She was stunned for a moment and suddenly turned around to look behind her.
Seeing Bai Qianmo standing unharmed behind her, Su Peishan's eyes immediately reddened.
Kuching, Rongyi, and Chen Xiang also came over immediately.
"Miss Bai, are you alright?"
"Boss, are you hurt?"
Bai Qianmo shook her head.
A male reporter made a curious "Eh?" sound.
"I just saw Bai Qianmo right in the middle of the shelf. She was still there the moment the shelf collapsed. How did she suddenly run up from below?"
"I just saw it too, what exactly is going on?"
Bai Qianmo stepped forward, looked at the two reporters who were speaking, and explained, "As the shelf collapsed, I jumped off the platform from the side."
At this moment, everyone noticed that the side of the shelf was less than two meters from the bottom of the stage. If Bai Qianmo had saved herself, she could have rolled quickly to the side when the shelf fell. As long as she was quick enough, she could have saved herself.
In that chaotic situation, everyone's attention was drawn to the suddenly collapsed shelf, so no one noticed that Bai Qianmo had already escaped.
This explanation did not arouse any suspicion from others.
When Wu Youxuan saw Bai Qianmo appear before him unharmed, a fierce and ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.
That the bastard wasn't killed? She's really tough.
Bai Qianmo's gaze swept quickly across the entire room, finally landing on Wu Youxuan.
"The shelf looks to weigh three or four hundred pounds. It would have been impossible for it to collapse suddenly without the help of external force."
As she said this, Bai Qianmo's gaze was fixed on Wu Youxuan.
A female celebrity gave Wu Youxuan a deep look, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke softly.
"Just now, I saw Wu Youxuan run behind the shelves."
"You're lying! I didn't do it, I didn't do it!" Wu Youxuan's face showed a guilty expression.
Bai Qianmo saw it all and already knew the answer in her heart.
"Mr. Gu, could you please pull up the surveillance footage from the lobby?"
Gu Zhongke immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll instruct the people in the monitoring room to retrieve the surveillance footage right away."
Upon hearing that the surveillance footage would be retrieved, Wu Youxuan was completely stunned, her face turning deathly pale.
Before President Gu could even make the call, the monitoring room had already sent over the video footage, and the situation was played back on the computer in front of everyone.
The surveillance footage shows that while everyone's attention was focused on Bai Qianmo, a figure sneaked around to the back of the display shelf. Then, less than three or four seconds later, the more than three-meter-high display shelf crashed to the ground.
After the video was replayed, everyone's eyes turned to Wu Youxuan.
At this moment, with the evidence irrefutable, Wu Youxuan was trembling with fear.
Gu Jin said coldly, "Mr. Gu, you should know how to handle this matter."
"I'll call the police right now."
Gu Zhongke immediately took out his phone and dialed the police.
A wave of fear washed over me. Thank goodness... thank goodness Miss Bai is safe and sound.
If anything goes wrong, Seventh Master might kill someone.
Seeing Gu Zhongke dial the police, Wu Youxuan rushed forward and grabbed Gu Zhongke's sleeves tightly with both hands.
"Don't call the police, don't call the police. I didn't mean to. I... I accidentally pushed the shelf. I didn't mean to hurt Bai Qianmo."
Gu Zhongke frowned: "Miss Wu, with your build, how could such a stable shelf collapse like that if you didn't push it hard? Whether you did it intentionally is not for us to decide. Let's leave everything to the police."
Yang Caiwen also hurriedly spoke up for Wu Youxuan, saying, "President Gu, our cooperation with Hesong and your Shenxian series has never stopped. Currently, we have several artists from our company endorsing the Shenxian series brand. Do you think this matter can be resolved privately?"
Gu Zhongke raised an eyebrow and chuckled, giving Yang Caiwen and Wu Youxuan a meaningful look.
