Chapter 19 Questioning
After Lin Jin came down the mountain, she was about to take the bus to leave, but she accidentally met Qiao Ying and Cheng Lilian who were also coming down the mountain.
Both of them had unsteady steps, as if they had sustained minor injuries in the forest, and were being taken to the hospital by medical staff.
They got in the ambulance and unexpectedly talked about what happened on the set.
When she heard Wen Siqi's name, Lin Jin immediately gave up the idea of leaving, found a deserted place to enter the space, and left with the two of them in the ambulance.
Qiao Ying rubbed her swollen ankle and complained to Cheng Lilian, "Sister Li, why did Mr. Wen come to the set? And he has such a loving look in his eyes, is he targeting me?"
Cheng Lilian glared at her, and seeing that the medical staff in the car in front didn't hear her, she quickly told her to shut up.
"Shut up. Don't be so sullen when President Wen comes to visit. This is good for you, not bad. Do you want to repeat the fate of others?"
Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat and her eyes turned red instantly.
Sure enough! It really has something to do with that man.
Qiao Ying's eyes flashed, and she pulled out a wet towel and wiped the dirt off her calves.
"Sister Li, is Xu Ran really suffering from depression? I saw her the day before she died. She looked so happy, how could she look like a depressed patient?" She asked casually with her head down.
Cheng Lilian touched her nose and said with certainty: "Since the police have issued a notice, it must be true. Otherwise, would the police lie?"
"Anyway, you have to remember what happened today. If President Wen comes to visit you again and gives you something, keep it well. If someone invites you to dinner, take the initiative to go. Otherwise, if you piss them off, I can't protect you."
She gave a few reminders and then closed her eyes, obviously not wanting to say anything more.
Qiao Ying stopped asking questions, crumpled the wet wipes into the trash can, and leaned back against the car tiredly.
She looked like she was asleep, but her hands on her legs were shaking slightly.
......
Lin Jin followed the two all the way to the hospital and watched them being taken into the VIP room.
Qiao Ying and Cheng Lilian were separated and each received treatment from the doctor in a separate clinic.
I don’t know if the company behind the two of them specifically reminded them, but they arranged the most comprehensive examination for them, from beginning to end, inside and out.
The examination report came out very quickly. Except for Qiao Ying's sprained and swollen ankle, which required a day of observation in the hospital, Cheng Lilian was not seriously injured.
But to be on the safe side, the accompanying police asked her to stay in the hospital for observation for one night.
Cheng Lilian was eager to have a good night's rest. She had been running around every day these days and had no personal time to rest.
After the doctors and police left, she closed the curtains, flattened the head of the bed, and finally lay down on the bed and could relax and fall asleep.
What happened today was so unexpected. First, Premier Wen suddenly showed up, and then he did those things on the set. Then he was suddenly trapped by smog on the mountain. I was frightened both mentally and physically.
She needs to have a good sleep and wait until tomorrow to deal with everything.
“Boom boom!”
Not long after Cheng Lilian closed her eyes, there was a knock on the door.
She frowned, covered her ears and ignored the knock on the door.
But the knocking on the door outside seemed to be tireless. When no one opened the door, the knocking continued one after another.
Cheng Lilian angrily moved the pillow away from her head and shouted at the door, "Come in."
The door was pushed open by a pair of hands, and a figure walked in.
Cheng Lilian looked at Lin Jin steadily, "Who are you?"
Lin Jin did not answer her in a hurry. Instead, she closed the door, put her schoolbag on the stool, took another stool and sat in front of Cheng Lilian.
"You don't need to know who I am. I just came here to ask you a question. As long as you answer me, I will leave immediately."
Cheng Lilian got up from the bed strangely.
"I don't know you, why should I answer your questions? Get out of here quickly, or I'll call the police." She unlocked her phone and took it in her hand, stopping at a phone number to threaten Lin Jin.
Lin Jin chuckled, but there was no smile on her face. She stared at Cheng Lilian sharply, her voice without any emotion.
"What banquet did Xu Ran attend before his death? Who was at that banquet?"
Cheng Lilian's heart skipped a beat.
How did she know Xu Ran attended the party!
Cheng Lilian suppressed her trembling heart and forced herself to remain calm. "What are you talking about? Who are you? If you don't leave, I will call the police immediately."
She loosened her fingers and dialed a number immediately.
Lin Jin quickly snatched the phone away, hung up the call and turned it off quickly.
"Don't you know what I'm talking about? Cheng Lilian, if you still have a conscience, tell me who was at the party?"
"No! This is my company's business, why should I tell you? Are you crazy? Get out of here! I'm calling security."
Cheng Lilian pointed at Lin Jin and cursed, then pressed the pager at the bedside, notifying the nurses station to call someone over quickly, as there was an inexplicable madman here.
Lin Jin took two or three steps forward, grabbed Cheng Lilian's mouth, and in front of her horrified gaze, took out her cell phone from her pocket and clicked on a picture.
"This is the last letter Xu Ran left before her death. She wrote that she attended a banquet on the day of her death. And what a coincidence, she died strangely right after the banquet."
She increased the strength of her hands, forcing Cheng Lilian to look into her eyes, "You were Xu Ran's agent when he was alive, don't tell me you don't know!"
Cheng Lilian moved her eyes towards the picture, which contained the lower half of a letter.
The letter clearly stated Xu Ran's participation in the banquet and what happened on the set.
Cheng Lilian's face turned pale instantly, and her body trembled, as if she wanted to speak.
Lin Jin moved closer to her, staring at her with a creepy look, "Is the protagonist of the banquet the man who appeared at the funeral that day? Or is Xu Ran's death related to him?"
Cheng Lilian blinked several times, clutched the quilt tightly, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
"Yes, she did attend the banquet that night, but she was not alone. Many artists under the company were there."
She slowly calmed down, "I don't know why you and the Xu family think that Xu Ran's death is related to the company. The doctor has clearly issued a report. What does it have to do with me?"
"I still say the same thing. If you think Xu Ran's death is related to the company, you can go to the police to report it."
"As long as the police come to our door, we will cooperate with the investigation. If not, please leave my sight immediately."
Cheng Lillian almost shouted the last sentence.
Lin Jin's eyes were filled with anger, and the calmness in her mind was instantly replaced by anger, "So, you admit that the man at the banquet was indeed there."
Cheng Lilian's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she immediately denied it, "I didn't say that, don't slander me."
Lin Jin saw through her quibbling, her chest heaving with anger. She loosened her mouth and pinched her neck, clearly feeling the pulsating artery in Cheng Lilian's neck.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind that if she increased the force once more, Cheng Lilian would immediately go to Xu Ran to atone for her sins.
Lin Jin then used both hands to pinch Cheng Lilian's neck, looked at her suddenly red face, and slowly closed her five fingers.
