Chapter 194: Little Cotton Jacket is so fierce! (18)
Although Zhao Ziyin is aggressive and not very smart, she is not stupid.
She understood what Tokiho said.
Between losing 200,000 yuan and having a criminal record, any normal person would choose the former.
Besides, the 200,000 yuan was not hers, but earned by Xuanxuan's hard work.
The most Zhao Ziyin could get was labor fees.
So she withdrew her accusation that Shihui had blackmailed her for 200,000 yen.
Zhao Ziyin explained that they were just joking and changed the story, saying, "That money was all given to my niece... She's going to primary school next year, and as her aunt, I'm giving her some financial support to buy her some stationery and stuff, haha... She was just too naughty just now, and I lost control of my emotions, so I lost my temper. It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
Shi Sui also testified and confirmed that Zhao Ziyin was not aware of Are's illegal filming behavior.
Things took a sudden turn and the police officers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Of course, they will not just believe one side of the story and will continue to investigate.
It just takes time to collect and analyze more evidence.
Moreover, serious cases involving Arei must be treated with greater caution.
After severely criticizing Zhao Ziyin's inappropriate behavior that almost resulted in death and imposing a fine, the police asked them to go back temporarily.
However, in order to cooperate with the investigation, the three of them could not leave Y City within a week.
At around 1 a.m., Wei Siyuan walked out of the police station holding his sleeping daughter.
In fact, his mind is still confused until now.
Zhao Ziyin has confessed to the police that she and A Lei were just one-night stands.
Wei Siyuan also learned from his daughter that it was because she took photos of the couple after their fight and asked for money that Zhao Ziyin became furious and lost her mind.
But he couldn't understand...why his 5-year-old daughter could understand all this.
At her age, she should be very simple and innocent...
He and Zhao Ziyin were always five or six meters apart, and returned to the hotel one after the other.
Just as she was about to open the door, Zhao Ziyin suddenly sighed.
"Xuanxuan was destined to be in the entertainment industry. She's been so smart and talented since she was little, and she's here to repay you... You're so lucky, but don't hold her back."
After saying that, Zhao Ziyin walked into the room and slammed the door shut.
She had lost all her money and foresaw that her marriage was about to break down and become a complete failure. Only then did she completely let down her guard and finally spoke the truth.
Looking back half a year ago, Zhao Ziyin learned from a casual chat with a friend that children could make money by being fashion models. With the mentality of giving it a try, she brought Xuanxuan over to try it out.
But after tasting the sweetness and easily earning the first sum of money, Zhao Ziyin couldn't stop and went from bad to worse.
At this point, regret is no longer useful...
…
Zhao Ziyin checked out and moved out overnight.
According to the police's request, as one of the important witnesses involved in the case, she cannot leave Y City for the time being.
But perhaps because she didn't want to have any contact with Wei Siyuan and his daughter anymore, she moved somewhere else.
Like her, Are also not sleeping late at night.
Because the circumstances were particularly serious, the dedicated police officers immediately took action, went to the hospital at 4 a.m., took him to a single room, and interrogated him.
Are was still stubborn at first, but after seeing the evidence presented by the police, he had no way to deny it and had to admit his crime.
Just as Shisui speculated, he was just a small link in the industrial chain, and behind the scenes, there were other participants who were more deeply hidden.
Starting with Are, the police want to eradicate the big interests behind him.
...In a film and television studio with tens of thousands of people, Are was just an ordinary photographer. However, after the news that he was detained for suspected child pornography came out, it caused quite a stir among all the major crews.
In order to avoid attention, many directors have become cautious about the casting and filming of child actors.
The entertainment industry is like this, any little disturbance can cause an earthquake.
Take the big IP crew that is currently cooperating with Are for example. The casting director was originally planning to tell Wei Siyuan that Xuan Xuan was not selected and let them go home.
But as soon as Are's incident was exposed, two child actors he had already agreed to play said they needed to reconsider... Among them was the one with whom the producer had given him a connection, who was to play the heroine's childhood.
"Mr. Wei, due to force majeure, the casting of the child actors and the confirmation of the start of filming for our crew have to be postponed. We may have to wait another week or so... Our crew has limited funds, and according to regulations, your accommodation reimbursement can only be reimbursed until today... I'm sorry."
The casting director still called Wei Siyuan to explain the situation.
The reason he was so polite was because the uncertainty surrounding the actors at this stage was too great, and he actually wanted Shi Sui, the understudy, to stay and wait. So he started to try his best to deceive people.
"Although the casting has been postponed, Xuanxuan's performance is very good. In my opinion, there is a 90% chance that she will be selected! We just need to wait for the director's approval!"
Hey, if it fails in the end, just blame it on the director.
Weiss agreed readily, "Okay, I understand. It's okay, we'll all be here until school starts."
It's not that he didn't hear the casting director's trick, but since they couldn't leave the film and television city for the time being, he just went along with it.
Wei Siyuan stayed in the hotel for two days. His fever subsided and his cold got better, so he took his daughter out for a walk.
As they walked around, they came to the Republican-style street.
A crew was filming a scene where a rickshaw driver was arguing with a passenger.
Shisui stopped and stood by, watching attentively.
In reality, she was complaining in her mind: "Tsk tsk tsk! They do choose strong and dark-skinned actors, but the costume and makeup team are so unprofessional. How could a real rickshaw driver wear such fine clothes without even a single hole on them?! The dialogue is also problematic... When the rickshaw driver argues with others, instead of using vulgar swear words, he uses such flowery language like 'meticulous'?! The screenwriter must have been kicked in the head by a donkey..."
But the way she didn't even blink seemed to Wei Siyuan like she was enjoying it with relish.
"She's so engrossed in watching the filming, my daughter really wants to make a living in the entertainment industry, right? QAQ..."
The Are incident actually had a huge impact on Wei Siyuan.
This circle is so dangerous, you can easily go astray if you are not careful.
However, Zhao Ziyin's words, "Don't hold Xuanxuan back," also left a deep impression on him. After digesting it for a night, Wei Siyuan figured it out clearly.
It was precisely because of his incompetence that his daughter was forced to learn how to use tricks to get back her hard-earned money at a young age.
Parents should not treat their children as tools to realize their own will, but they should not let their talents go to waste because of their own incompetence.
What my daughter needs is not just a gentle father, but also a strong and reliable father!
He was determined to protect her.
"My dear, I will work hard to correct any areas where I haven't done well enough. If you like filming, I will definitely support you. But you must not fall behind in your studies next year."
Wei Siyuan squatted down, ready to say a few kind words to her and give her some encouragement.
But Shi Sui was suddenly attracted by something. Her eyes sparkled as she pointed at a little girl in the group performance on Minguo Street and shouted, "Xiao Ni?! Is that you?"
