Chapter 25: Catch up with the melon-eating scene!
Du Hexuan was not surprised that Director Gao knew media reporters. To put it bluntly, they were all in the circle, and after being around for a long time, they would always have some miscellaneous connections.
What he cared about more was that the other party was actually willing to reveal such big news to Director Gao in advance?
Director Gao felt his scalp tingling when facing Du Hexuan's inquiring gaze, but he finally chose to confess and seek leniency.
"He is just curious about how you and Jiang Huaiying became enemies..."
"…So you sold me out?"
"This is called an exchange of interests!" Director Gao stressed loudly to cover up his guilty conscience. "Aren't we getting the latest news?"
Du Hexuan crossed his arms across his chest and refused to fall for his trick: "Haha." Who's talking to you!
At the critical moment, it was Duan Rao who spoke up to rescue Director Gao: "Okay, okay, the most important thing now is to figure out what's going on. In fact, Jiang Huaiying's arrest doesn't necessarily mean anything will happen."
"No, no, no..." As soon as Du Anrao finished speaking, Director Gao waved his hands and said, "She might really be in big trouble this time."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because my friend told me that in the photo he took, Jiang Huaiying's hands were covered with clothes." Director Gao said and gestured with his hands.
"Huh?" Du Anrao tilted his head in confusion, but Du Hexuan immediately got the point of this sentence.
"She's in handcuffs!"
"Handcuffs?"
"Yes, usually when the police arrest someone, some people will choose to cover the handcuffs with clothes in order to retain their last bit of dignity. In simple terms, it is to cover it up so that they look better and appear less like a criminal."
Duan Rao also understood immediately: "So she is now a criminal."
"Yes, yes, that's why I said she's going to be in big trouble."
If it is just a routine questioning, you will just be taken away but not handcuffed.
If she got this thing, it basically meant that she had really committed a crime, with irrefutable evidence.
"It's only been two days since the first interrogation. Are the relevant departments here so efficient?"
Director Gao and Zhou Shunzhe looked at each other and expressed their guess: "We suspect that she must have offended someone."
Jiang Huaiying would definitely be investigated if he committed a crime, but the fact that he was caught so quickly was beyond everyone's expectations.
They really don't believe that there is no one behind this.
“Who do you think it is?”
"Uh..." Zhou Shunzhe and Director Gao looked at Du Hexuan and Du Anrao, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Du Anrao raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Do you suspect... Mr. Xi?"
Du Hexuan was a little PTSD when he heard this word. He frowned and asked back, "How could it be him?"
"How could it not be him? He protected us that night." Although Director Gao said this to Du Hexuan, he was looking at Du Anrao.
At the beginning of that day, he thought that Xi Jingyue's target was Du Hexuan, but later he gradually discovered that the other party seemed to care more about Du Hexuan's sister.
Especially after Duanrao took action, Xi Jingyue's way of handling the situation was full of favoritism in almost every word.
Because of this, he boldly guessed that this matter was related to Xi Jingyue. After all, that crazy woman not only wanted to ruin Du Hexuan's reputation, but also wanted to destroy Du Anrao.
Du Hexuan now felt annoyed whenever he heard Xi Jingyue's name. When he heard Director Gao say that, his face darkened and he was about to retort, but was interrupted by a hurried knock on the door.
"Director, director, are you here? Come out quickly, something happened."
Director Gao recognized the voice of his assistant director and hurried over to open the door: "How did you know I was here? What happened?"
"I heard from the actor who lives next door to you. Don't worry about it for now. Mr. Yang, that's Yang Jiantao from our crew, he's in the hospital."
"???"
Director Gao was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to have thought of something, turned his head stiffly to look at Duan Rao, and asked again: "Tell me, who went to the hospital?"
"He plays the leader of the Qingyun Sect in the play, Mr. Yang Jiantao."
Finally confirming that he had heard correctly, Director Gao took a deep breath.
Du Hexuan and others were also surprised, especially Du Anrao.
[That's not right. According to the original development, after his wife and brother-in-law absconded with the money, Brother Yang was too excited and fell to the ground and scraped his skin. How did he end up in the hospital? How serious was his injury? ]
Du Hexuan and others heard the fear and guilt in Du Anrao's words, and soon realized that Du Anrao might be worried about the current situation caused by his previous "prediction".
With his eyes flickering, Du Hexuan stepped forward and asked, "Brother Yang is in the hospital? What happened? Is it serious?"
"It's not serious. He said he hit his head during an argument with someone and had a slight concussion. To be on the safe side, he needs to be hospitalized for a few days for observation."
Hearing that it was not serious, Director Gao and everyone in the Du family breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's strange. Teacher Yang is famous for his good temper, but he actually got angry and even fought with others. How big a deal is this?"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
The assistant director happened to be away on the day Du Anrao followed Du Hexuan into the crew. However, Director Gao and Zhou Shunzhe knew clearly what Du Anrao had said to Yang Jiantao at that time, and the look in their eyes when they looked at her became even more complicated.
"Which hospital is Brother Yang in? There's nothing else to do, let's go see him."
The person who was speaking was Du Hexuan. Although the matter of being in police station had been clarified, Du Hexuan still lost several notices before that, so he could rest for a few days.
In order to better understand the progress of this incident, the Du family discussed staying in J City for a few more days, and thus continued to stay in the hotel previously arranged by the crew.
Now is a good time for us to go and visit Yang Jiantao and find out what is going on.
Du Anrao's eyes lit up slightly, she was also very curious about Yang Jiantao's situation.
Upon hearing this, Director Gao and others hurriedly expressed their desire to go along. After all, Yang Jiantao was a member of their crew, and since he was in the hospital, it was only right that they go to visit him, not out of curiosity or gossip!
Since so many people are going, naturally Du’s father and mother cannot be missing.
During this period of time, they have been eating the melons from their own home. It might be sweeter to eat the melons from other people's homes occasionally. After all, there is no pressure in watching the fun of other people's homes!
The group bought some fruits along the way and rushed to the hospital. After asking at the information desk which ward Yang Jiantao was in, they went upstairs without stopping.
Unexpectedly, I heard noisy sounds inside before I even entered the door.
"Zhao Di is your wife, and Ji Zu is your brother-in-law. We are all family, so why do you have to make such a scene? My wife and I are making this clear today. If you dare not withdraw the case, we will kill ourselves here and see what everyone will say about you."
People outside the door: Oh, they are finally catching up with the melon-eating scene!
