Chapter 48
He Tong smiled and answered politely:
"Comrade police officer, I believe you have already checked my information. My parents both grew up in an orphanage and were raised by the state. Their mother, my grandmother, and my maternal grandmother are Director He. Apart from her, I have no other relatives."
The police officer in charge of the case looked at his unmoved appearance and could only sigh softly.
"Also..." He Tong leaned forward slightly, "Can I know why they insist I did it? It can't be just because the child looks a bit like me, right?"
The investigating officer lowered his eyes and tilted his head, probably listening to the instructions in his headphones. He raised his eyes after a moment.
"He initially refused to speak, but now that the facts are out, he's finally speaking out. He said someone contacted him online, accusing you of the crime and promising to support him as a witness if he exposes you online. After he posted on Weibo, that person also helped him get the story trending. But after he produced the photos of his child, that person unilaterally cut off contact and even blocked his Weibo account for a time."
"Then, as long as you find that 'eyewitness', I believe there will be clues."
"We're already investigating. That person's intention was to frame you. Can you think of who it could be?"
He Tongyi spread his hands and said, "In our line of work, fame brings gossip. We often don't even realize who we've offended."
Seeing his slippery appearance, the investigating officer couldn't help but smile helplessly, but he still pressed on, "Don't you think there's anything suspicious? That person instructed others to slander you, causing great damage to your reputation. You can definitely sue him."
He Tong lowered his head and thought for a moment before reluctantly saying, "Then I can only offer some guesses..."
"Just tell us, we'll check it out."
"Okay. The incident broke shortly after I won the Golden Carp Award, so I can only speculate that it was someone competing for the same award. After all, the timing is too coincidental. If my trophy is really taken away because of this, then according to convention, the jury will select another winner within a month of the award being taken away."
The investigating officer's eyes lit up: "Okay, this is a very important clue."
He Tong stood up and said, "I can't think of anything else. Can I go now? I have work to do today."
The officer in charge of the case didn't force He Tong to stay and personally escorted him out. Even as they were about to reach the gate, he was still trying to persuade him, "Don't you really have any clues about the suspect? Your victim might have just found something hard to explain and might not even know who the suspect is. But the girl was truly victimized. She's had a rough time these past few years, and her mental state is terrible now..."
He Tong sighed and scratched his head: "Well... I don't know if this information is useful."
"You tell us, we'll check if it's useful." The investigating officer looked at him expectantly.
He Tong thought carefully for a long time before saying, "I remember when I was little... maybe nine or ten, my dad specifically told me to ignore anyone who claimed to be a relative of mine from Moshan Village, County A."
"Moshan Village, County A?"
"That should be right. But no one came to find me later, so I forgot about it."
"Okay, thank you very much for the information you provided." The police officer in charge of the case took the initiative to shake hands with He Tong.
He Tong shook his hand and asked, "By the way, when you find the person who wants to harm me, can you let me know?"
"Of course, we'll let you know. Thank you for your cooperation."
"You're welcome. I'm just doing my civic duty."
He Tong finished his words with a smile, waved his hand, and walked out the door. The police officer watched him get into the car before returning.
He Tong opened the car door and got in. He first went up to Ye Yuze and rubbed his face against his.
Ye Yuze put down the tablet in his hand and turned to look at him: "You shouldn't be a sheep or a monkey, you should be a dog."
He Tong chuckled: "I'll order a dog tag later. Where do you think I should wear it? Around my neck, on my hand, or on my foot?"
"It's suitable for the forehead." Ye Yuze raised his hand and rubbed his head. "How is it?"
"They should have posted on Weibo, you saw it. It's definitely not my child. It's probably committed by a relative on my mom's side. I look pretty much like my dad, except for my mom's eyes. Now that I think about what my dad said back then, my mom was probably abandoned because of the son-biased attitude in our family. Later, they probably came looking for her, but my dad dealt with her. Anyway, their household registration files all came from an orphanage, so they don't have any biological parents."
Ye Yuze was silent for a moment, then asked, "Will the police investigate the person who hid behind your back and slandered you?"
"Oh. I gave them a clue, and they promised to let me know when they found it. It would be much easier for the police to investigate, and I think they'll have results in a few days. It should be among the Golden Carp Award nominees."
Ye Yuze nodded: "The navy found out some information that Qianying is fanning the flames."
He Tong snorted softly, "Their film 'Eight Years Apart' suffered a huge loss, and they're taking their anger out on me."
"My cousin will ask them to pay the interest. I've told the crew that we won't be filming your scenes today. Go back to the hotel and get some rest. Uncle Zou even sent some pomelo leaves for you to bathe with."
"You don't have to go either, let's wash together~"
Ye Yuze glanced at him: "The hotel bathtub can't accommodate two people."
He Tong leaned over to his brother Ye's ear and whispered, "Just sit on me~"
Ye Yuze said seriously: "I have a big show this afternoon."
He Tong looked pitiful.
Ye Yuze raised her lips, tilted her head and kissed the corner of his mouth, coaxing him, "Order dinner and wait for me to come back to eat."
He Tong was unable to take a bath together, so he opened Weibo and checked it while soaking alone in the bathtub.
#贺同清白# has taken the top spot on the hot search list, with the police's Weibo post pinned at the top, and all the lucky draw reposts initiated by fans below. The one with the biggest lucky draw was posted by Ye Yuze's Weibo.
He Tong also joined in the fun and forwarded the lucky draw post.
@贺同V: #贺同清白# Wash away the bad luck and win a prize. See the picture // @叶与泽V: Share with #贺同清白# and win a prize...
The accompanying picture was a bathtub filled with pomelo leaves, which he had just taken a picture of and sent to Uncle Zou.
Fans who received the prompt immediately ran over.
[Blow away the bad luck! The windmill spins.jpg]
[Bad luck dissipates! Take my bottle of water.jpg]
[Haha, Tongtong also knows how to wash with grapefruit leaf water, what a down-to-earth man.] [This time it was really an unprovoked disaster. Just because they look a bit like each other, they get smeared like this, how abominable!] [Upstairs, forget it, as long as Tongzi is cleared of all charges.]
[That @还我妹妹义道 posted an apology video, and it was quite sincere. Alas, his sister is also pitiful, and his anxiety is understandable.] He Tong saw this and replied casually.
[The blogger replied: The police are still investigating this matter. They will give justice to his sister and me as well.] Clever fans immediately sensed something in this statement and jokingly passed the matter over.
After He Tong finished his bath, he took a picture of a few pomelo leaves that he had specially reserved and sent the picture to his brother Ye.
He: Brother, I’m waiting for you to wash away my bad luck in person tonight.
◇◆◇
In order to clear his name before New Year's Day, He Tong planned a New Year's Day live broadcast - a virtual tour of the film and television city, and celebrated with his brother Ye and fans.
It was not until mid-January, after the filming of "Those People Around Me" was completed before the New Year, that the police finally released a complete announcement of the incident.
The suspect has been arrested. He was an adult when he committed the crime and other crimes have even been discovered. Therefore, he is about to face a heavy sentence.
The person who flattered He Tong was a new actor who was also nominated for the Golden Carp Best New Performer Award. He had overheard the suspect bragging about the incident and, noticing a resemblance between the suspect and He Tong, he wanted to use this incident to discredit He Tong and get the Golden Carp jury to revoke the award and re-select the winner.
Immediately afterwards, Xingchen’s official Weibo account posted a lawyer’s letter to the new actor.
He Tong simply said
@贺同v: Nothing much to say, see you in court.
The next day, Uncle Zou told the two of them something while they were having dinner.
"The new guy's father somehow found me and called to request an out-of-court settlement."
He Tong found it funny: "Is his father some extraordinary figure?"
"I looked it up. They make clothing accessories. They own several factories and also supply some of Qiming's brands. They probably contacted Qiming but no one responded, so they came to me."
"Oh, and he's a rich second-generation who has to go back and inherit the family fortune if his acting isn't good enough. His father should be happy, because now his factory has someone to carry on the legacy."
Ye Yuze added calmly, "He'll have to spend a year or so in prison before inheriting the family fortune."
Uncle Zou had a somewhat subtle expression. "However, that boss is very proud of his own goods and seems to think that if he cuts off Qiming's supply, it will cause great losses to Qiming. And although his son flatters you, he also brought you a few waves of traffic, and you even topped the trending searches several times. So his intention is that if he pays a little more money, we should agree to an out-of-court settlement."
He Tong whistled, "This is why his son thinks he deserves the Golden Carp Award."
Uncle Zou smiled calmly, "I think his son probably won't have the factory to inherit after he gets married."
He Tong gave Uncle Zou a thumbs up, then put the matter behind him and began to actively make New Year plans.
The two of them had a relaxed and happy New Year, and took advantage of the Fang family's New Year celebrations to officially make their relationship official.
The Fang family was a very open-minded family, so naturally they all sent their blessings to the two. Furthermore, He Tong had been with Ye Yuze for five or six years, and had long since become like family with the Fang family, feeling completely at ease. Instead, the elders took advantage of this opportunity to give him generous red envelopes as a token of their "meeting."
After the Lantern Festival, He Tong and Ye Yuze received an invitation from Bei Jiaxiang and prepared to fly to Country G to discuss the movie with him in detail.
Two days before departure, He Tong suddenly received a call from the police officer from last time, saying that the person who accused him at that time wanted to meet with him and apologize in person.
