Mo Xiaoqing finally caught her breath when they arrived at Mo Tingqi's rest room, while Mu Liangliang, who had been sitting on the side, hadn't said a word since getting into the car and coming here with them.
Mo Xiaoqing looked at her with some concern, while there were several bottles of beer on Mo Tingqi's coffee table. Mu Liangliang opened one without saying a word and drank it down.
Mo Xiaoqing wanted to stop her, but Mo Tingqi curled his lips and stopped her without saying a word.
"What happened today?"
Mo Xiaoqing immediately chickened out and unconsciously took a step back, as if she wanted to find a place where she could feel safe.
Her voice was soft and sweet, and she asked him with a slightly pitiful look, "Third Brother, how did you know?"
Seeing her anxious and uneasy expression, which seemed to indicate that she was worried about his reprimand, Mo Tingqi lost all the sharpness in his eyes and sighed helplessly.
"With today's incident causing such a big fuss, it would be difficult for me to remain unaware of it even if I wanted to."
Mo Xiaoqing let out a rare long sigh, and said with some melancholy, "If you really want to ask me why things have come to this, I can only say that I don't know either."
Since Mu Liangliang came in, she has been drinking without saying a word. Mo Xiaoqing understood that she just wanted to get herself drunk!
So, after drinking a bottle of beer, Mu Liangliang took a few sips of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and got herself drunk as she wished!
"Third Brother, what did that bureau chief say today?"
"He said there was something fishy about what happened today, but you and she can't be cleared of suspicion for now. Further investigation is needed to find out the real cause of death!"
"After you revealed such a huge thing today, will she still be able to maintain her position in this industry?"
Mo Xiaoqing stared at Mu Liangliang with a somewhat melancholy gaze; the ethereal voice seemed to come from afar.
Seeing that Mo Xiaoqing seemed to care a lot, Mo Tingqi felt a little unbalanced. Even though he was very impatient and didn't want her to worry about others, he also didn't want to see Mo Xiaoqing sad and upset!
"If we can find out he's innocent, then... it should still be possible!"
Mo Xiaoqing closed her eyes briefly. "Really?"
Although her third brother's analogy was ambiguous, Mo Xiaoqing knew it was impossible!
They all say that it's the 21st century and that men and women are equal, but whether it was in ancient times or now, it's always been so unfair to girls!
If this kind of scandal happened to other male celebrities, it would just fade away after a while. But it's different for female celebrities. This kind of scandal is like a death sentence for them!
She knew that Mu Liangliang's acting career was most likely to come to an end here!
Not only that, it could even affect her normal life in the future!
Seeing Mo Xiaoqing's furrowed brows, Mo Tingqi's eyes also unconsciously deepened.
"You've had such a big incident today, and you still have the leisure to worry about others? You should worry more about yourself!"
Although today's events did not harm her, the kick she made could very well make her a suspect in the police investigation!
"What do I have to worry about?" Mo Xiaoqing blinked, raised her chin, her expression somewhat arrogant, yet also exceptionally cute and genuine. "With you here, Third Brother, I don't think anyone can do anything to me!"
Mo Tingqi curled his lips. Mo Xiaoqing's words were indeed cleverly chosen. Although her matter-of-fact attitude would have been seen as utter nonsense by others.
But to his ears, it sounded particularly pleasing. So, Mo Tingqi, who was considered eccentric and unpredictable by others, was so easily swayed by Mo Xiaoqing's words!
"I've run into some trouble outside. I'll go take care of it first and come back in a bit. Remember, don't wander off."
Mo Tingqi was really worried about Mo Xiaoqing, so he gave her instructions several times in a row. Only when he saw her nod and promise did he finally feel a little relieved!
When Mo Xiaoqing received Li Qian's call, she was momentarily dazed, perhaps because the events of today had had such a significant negative impact on her.
It made her feel like the days she spent with Li Qian and the others were from a past life…
After exchanging a few simple words with her and hanging up the phone, she realized that Mu Liangliang was already drunk!
She was still clutching an empty wine bottle, her face flushed, and she slumped onto the carpet.
Mo Xiaoqing walked over, gently brushed aside Mu Liangliang's loose hair, and tucked it behind her ear in a very soft voice.
"Liangliang, listen to me. The fact that they left you means they didn't truly love you. The ones who will stay by your side no matter what happens are the ones who truly care about you!"
"Don't care what others say. You're not meant to live your life according to other people's opinions; you're meant to live for yourself!"
As soon as she finished speaking, unnoticed by Mo Xiaoqing, Mu Liangliang's fingers twitched slightly, but soon returned to calm!
*
The next day, at the police station.
Inside the interrogation room, several policemen sat upright, their eyes fixed on Mu Liangliang, whose makeup was exquisite and whose gaze was captivating.
The same beautiful policewoman who was interrogating her yesterday was the one doing the interrogation.
She leaned slightly forward, placing her hands on the table, her expression grave. "Yesterday's matter hasn't been completely resolved, and you haven't been cleared of suspicion. Then, another murder occurred last night, and you were in that private room at the time. All the evidence points to the two of you. How can we not suspect you?"
