The studio's positive response put fans' minds at ease. Now, the only question is whether Song Xing can attend the promotional event this afternoon. If she can, it means there's really no problem. In that case, the person who leaked the information is very suspicious. How did they know the inside story?
Police quickly launched an investigation into the whistleblower and summoned him to the police station.
Qiao Leyi and Gu Zhiya panicked. Why were they so discreet and careful, yet Gu Zhiya discovered something was wrong so quickly? How did she find out? Their people didn't even have time to report it.
"Mom, what do we do now? The police are investigating; will their investigation lead to us?"
“No way,” Qiao Leyi said confidently. “We didn’t handle it ourselves, and the contact person doesn’t know it was us, so they definitely won’t be able to trace it back to us.”
The mother and daughter were unaware that in this high-tech era, if the police really wanted to investigate, there was nothing they couldn't find; it was just a matter of time. Moreover, this case involved strictly prohibited drugs, and everyone wanted to distance themselves from it. Once the key person was found, that person would definitely confess in order to reduce their sentence.
"Mom, I'm a little scared."
Qiao Leyi paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll cancel all your recent work for you, and you can go abroad to relax."
Gu Zhiya nodded quickly: "Okay, Mom, you can go too."
Qiao Leyi looked troubled: "It's not possible yet. Your father and I haven't finished dividing our assets. Here's what we'll do: Mom has an account overseas. I'll transfer some money into that account later, as well as some jewelry and other items. We'll take as much as we can with us."
Although both denied that the matter was unlikely to be traced back to them, they still tacitly transferred their assets out.
Gu Zhiya tightened her grip on Qiao Leyi's arm: "Mom, why don't you handle the property division and company matters over the phone? Come abroad with me first."
"Zhiya! Don't be so nervous, and don't show any weakness in front of outsiders. Even if they find out in the end, it won't be this fast. Don't you believe in your mother's abilities?"
Gu Zhiya was really worried. If her mother was truly capable, why didn't she have any countermeasures against Song Xia and Song Xinghe's sudden rise to fame? But judging from her mother's expression, it seemed that no amount of persuasion would work.
Gu's Entertainment was built up by her mother, and now she has to give a portion of it to her father, which makes her very sad.
Qiao Leyi hugged her daughter tightly: "You're just overthinking things. Don't think the worst. Everything will be alright."
While Gu Zhiya was busy going abroad, Song Xinghe attended the promotional event for "Different Sisters" in the afternoon. She had a fresh and beautiful makeup, a bright smile, and did not look gloomy at all.
However, the rumors that came out in the morning did indeed shock everyone, so the media and fans were asking what exactly happened last night.
However, the investigation results are not yet available, so Song Xinghe cannot speak out casually. He only said that everyone should wait for the police station's announcement and not to worry.
Seeing that she was really alright, the Peony Video team breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "Different Sisters" was their major production this year, and they had invested a lot of money and effort in filming it last year, so they couldn't afford any accidents.
Especially since this drama was written by Song Xia, you know that Rose Films' previous productions, "He Came from the Sea" and "She Came from the Light," reaped huge profits, with their stock soaring twice because of those two dramas. There's no reason why their Peony Video would encounter such an unexpected situation.
It seems that someone is jealous of Song Xinghe's development. Who is this person, and does he/she have a grudge against Mudan Video?
Even without any grudges, they would still investigate. If Song Xinghe was really framed and "Different Sisters" couldn't be broadcast normally, their Peony Video would also suffer heavy losses!
Because she missed the promotion in the morning, many fans came to the university town in the afternoon. In order not to disappoint everyone, Song Xinghe actively cooperated with everyone's request for photos and autographs. In the end, some fans saw that her muscles were stiff from laughing and her hand was cramping when she signed autographs, so they took the initiative to tell her to go back and rest.
After this incident, Xie Dong became even more concerned about Song Xinghe's safety and rarely delegated tasks to others.
Sister Hua personally drove to pick them up and take them home. On the way, she mentioned Song Xia's dream: "It seems you've taken precautions against what happened in your dream."
Song Xinghe asked in astonishment, "What dream?"
Sister Hua glanced at Song Xia and then explained, "Two years ago, your mother had a very bad dream. In the dream, you were drugged and framed, and then you had to defend yourself without any evidence. In addition, you were attacked by online trolls. In short, the ending was not good. It was from that time that your mother decided to make a comeback to protect you and pay close attention to your diet and living conditions."
Song Xinghe stared with her mouth slightly open, unable to recover for a long time.
Song Xia gently patted the back of her hand: "If the police successfully catch the murderer, we may not be able to be as vigilant as we are now in the future."
"There are even such warning dreams..." Song Xing swallowed hard. What exactly is that not-so-good ending?
After letting out a long sigh, she didn't ask any further questions. Aunt Hua hadn't said anything, perhaps because the consequences for her really weren't good: "Did Mom say in her dream who the murderer was?"
"Qiao Leyi and Gu Zhiya." Song Xia didn't hide this.
Although there is no evidence yet, Song Xinghe felt that the two of them were the most likely. After all, from the time she debuted and began to show her talent, Gu Zhiya had inexplicable hostility towards her. At that time, Gu Zhiya was already a very popular actress, while she was only a third or fourth-tier actress. Was it necessary to start being on guard so early?
Is this a case of people's auras not aligning? It seems that's exactly it now; after I became famous, Gu Zhiya's popularity and reputation did indeed decline.
Who knows what that madwoman Gu Zhiya is thinking? Qiao Leyi is indulging her daughter without any bottom line, and their methods have always been ruthless, so it's not surprising that they have access to those things. Besides, she really can't think of anyone else with such hostility and ability.
The police also listed Qiao Leyi and Gu Zhiya as suspects, and this suspicion reached its peak when they learned that Gu Zhiya had taken a large amount of wealth abroad.
They can't control Gu Zhiya who has already gone abroad for the time being, but they absolutely cannot let Qiao Leyi go abroad smoothly before the suspicion is dispelled.
The director's voice was icy: "Isn't she currently in a divorce and property division lawsuit with Gu Mingze? Temporarily suspend her visa to go abroad on the grounds of unclear company accounts. We absolutely cannot let her get away."
"yes."
"We need to expedite the investigation, and even if she's detained, she can't be detained for too long, otherwise she'll release the news to the media, and we won't be able to explain it to the public."
"clear."
