To reach the position of bureau chief, one must be extraordinary, even though he acted spineless in front of Mo Tingqi and Mo Xinze, as if he wanted to bend down and wipe their shoes.
But Mo Xiaoqing knew perfectly well that she couldn't use her family's power to put on an arrogant attitude.
It is precisely because she was exceptionally intelligent and perceptive from a young age that she was so beloved.
Mo Xiaoqing smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling, and whispered to the director, "Hello, I'd like to speak with Mu Liangliang alone for a while, is that alright?"
Therefore, there is almost no one in this world who can be cold to Mo Xiaoqing, and even fewer who can refuse her smile.
The bureau chief succumbed partly to Mo Xiaoqing's family background and partly to her sweet, soft voice...
In short, compared to Mo Tingqi and Mo Xinze, the bureau chief's submission to Mo Xiaoqing was entirely willing, given their combined power and presence.
Mo Xiaoqing, naturally, relied on her pretty and delicate face to smoothly reach the room where Mu Liangliang was being held.
That's right, it's all in one room!
At least on the surface, the people at the police station are treating Mu Liangliang quite well! The room they've arranged for her is moisture-proof, unlike those dark prison rooms on TV where rats and cockroaches sleep together…
Mo Xiaoqing also breathed a sigh of relief. Yesterday, she was so happy to see Ji Muhan that she forgot about Mu Liangliang still being at the police station. When she remembered it later, it was already past midnight...
So when she woke up this morning, she felt uneasy, afraid that if the police officers bullied Mu Liangliang or arranged for her to be in a bad prison cell, her guilt would only deepen...
Why did you come here?
Mu Liangliang chuckled self-deprecatingly, "It seems my memory is failing me. How could this place possibly trap you?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoqing subconsciously frowned. She herself had a delicate, sculpted doll-like face, everything about her was just right, like a Barbie doll blessed by God, with no flaws whatsoever!
That's why, even the slightest furrow of her brow can make one's heart clench, and one can't help but want to reach out and smooth it out for her...
"Am I wrong? How could young ladies from scholarly families like yours, pampered and spoiled, possibly know anything about the hardships of life?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoqing fell silent for a moment.
"I thought you'd gotten to know me well enough by now?"
She was indeed pampered from childhood to adulthood, but she didn't think of herself as a spoiled young lady who didn't understand the hardships of life!
Mu Liangliang fell silent.
"Didn't you ever suspect that this was a setup for you from the very beginning? Perhaps I'm not just an insider, but the one who orchestrated it!" Mu Liangliang's emotionless gaze was fixed on Mo Xiaoqing.
Judging from her expression, she seemed afraid of missing even the slightest expression on Mo Xiaoqing's face.
Mo Xiaoqing blinked. "Why would I doubt it?"
The girl's soft, sweet voice, just like the Suzhou accent, was like a soft, chewy dumpling—utterly irresistible…
Mu Liangliang was still wearing the same clothes she wore that night when she drank with her. It was a simple black casual outfit, but she wore it with an aura of a mature and sophisticated woman.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and her tone was somewhat complicated, "Because on the surface, I am the most suspicious one."
Mo Xiaoqing smiled and readily followed up on her question, "What's suspicious?"
“That day’s Toutiao…” Mu Liangliang paused.
Mo Xiaoqing blinked, seemingly inviting her to continue.
She seemed somewhat embarrassed as she slowly said, "It's true."
Mo Xiaoqing remained silent, her large, clear eyes gazing at her with an innocent and pure expression.
Mu Liangliang didn't know why, but a nameless anger suddenly rose in her heart again. She just didn't like seeing Mo Xiaoqing's pure and clean eyes, and that fiery and passionate clean aura.
For people like them who have lived in darkness for years, it is a fatal attraction, one that they are utterly powerless to resist…
She glared angrily at Mo Xiaoqing, inexplicably taking her anger out on her, "Take your eyes off me, I don't need anyone's sympathy."
Mo Xiaoqing blinked, her expressive eyes only fueling Mu Liangliang's anger!
Mu Liangliang stood proudly with her chin raised. Even in such a disheveled state, she still refused to be treated with pity and sympathy.
Mo Xiaoqing had no doubt that if Mu Liangliang were ever threatened, she was the kind of person who would rather die standing than live on her knees!
In this respect, they are... strikingly similar!
"I have indeed slept with many people. In this industry, I know that many people look down on me and think that I got my current status by sleeping around."
Although Mu Liangliang tried her best to suppress her true emotions and spoke casually, her tightly clenched hands betrayed her true feelings...
"But in this filthy melting pot, no one can remain as clean and pure as they were at the beginning, even if I really did rely on sleeping with directors, assistant directors, clients, producers, investors, and so on..."
