Mei Jing was a stranger to An Ru. The last time An Ru had interacted with Mei Jing, she had thought of her as childish and immature. But the woman before her was no longer childish. An icy aura emanated from her entire being.
"I'm a very petty person," Asha said with a smile, but her eyes were cold. "You and I are practically strangers, but you can do such a cruel thing to a stranger."
"I thought you were just muddle-headed and delusional. But I didn't expect you to be a psychopath! "Wan Qingsi had said those words when they arrived.
An Ru glared at her the moment she heard that. "You took Qingsi away from me. So what if I hired someone to gang rape you?" An Ru said smugly. "I'll let you escape this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."
She had completely forgotten how Asha had managed to escape from those hooligans. She had also completely forgotten that Asha had walked out from the balcony.
"Too bad," Asha said as she slowly walked up to An Ru. "You won't have the chance."
"You … What did you do to me?" An Ru realized that she couldn't move.
Asha took out a small red pill and popped it into An Ru's mouth. "You'll find out soon enough!"
An Ru stared at Wan Qingsi in horror. She could feel the pill dissolving in her mouth.
Asha clapped her hands and turned around to walk to the balcony. When she got off the balcony, she waved at An Ru. "See you tomorrow! If … if you can still make it out the door. "
Village Chief Mo Lin had once said that the cruelest part of a drug user was to let a person's body be controlled and corroded by the drug while they were sober. The process could drive a person insane. That night, An Ru experienced a feeling that was worse than death.
Asha dragged Wan Qingsi out of bed early in the morning.
"The police will be here to arrest me later! Xunxun, you have to protect me! "
Wan Qingsi looked at Wan Qingsi, amused. "What did you do to that stupid woman?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
As expected, the doorbell rang after they finished breakfast.
Wan Qingsi opened the door. A male and a female police officer stood outside.
"Mr. Wan, we're sorry to disturb you so early in the morning," the female police officer said politely. "We have some matters to discuss with your artist, Mei Jing. Can you tell us where she is?" the policewoman asked politely.
Wan Qingsi let them in. Then, the two police officers saw Mei Jing coming out of the kitchen.
The male police officer's face reddened when he noticed Wan Qingsi's cold glare. He quickly cleared his throat and said, "Miss Mei Jing, we'd like to ask you a few questions."
"Sure. Have a seat!" Asha sat down on the sofa. Wan Qingsi walked over and hugged her.
The policewoman frowned and looked at Asha with jealousy and disdain.
Asha was too lazy to pay attention to her and asked the policeman, "Why are you looking for me?"
"You know An Ru, right?"
Asha shook her head. "Not really. We've only met twice."
"Did you guys have an argument during filming yesterday?"
"Yes, she made me fall!" Asha's face was full of grievances. She deliberately nudged Wan Qingsi. "Terminate her contract. I don't want to see that woman ever again!"
Wan Qingsi was very cooperative. He nodded like an old pervert. "Okay. I'll fire her right away." After he said that, he did not forget to touch Asha's thigh.
The male police officer's face was full of pity. Meanwhile, the policewoman looked at Asha with even more hostility. The word "shameless" was written all over her face.
"Miss Mei Jing." The policewoman rose to her feet. "You went to An Ru's house last night and physically harmed her. We're asking you to come back for an investigation."
Wan Qingsi's face darkened. "Who said she went to An Ru's house last night? She was with me the whole time. "
"Mr. Wan, please don't cover up for the criminal. We'll investigate this thoroughly and show you the evidence." The policewoman spoke to Wan Qingsi in a much gentler tone than she did to Asha.
When Asha heard that they were going to take her away, she immediately threw herself into the man's arms with tears in her eyes.
"I was with you the whole night. We were … we were doing that. She's wrongly accusing me!"
The male police officer's face reddened again. Anyone could tell what Asha meant.
The policewoman frowned. She tried to pull Asha's arm, but Wan Qingsi slapped her hand away. "No one can take her away without evidence."
"It's easy to get evidence." The male police officer reacted quickly this time. "Please come with us to the security room. We'll check the surveillance footage from last night. Did Miss Mei Jing ever leave this place?"
Asha and Wan Qingsi looked at each other. They smiled. "Okay. Let's go."
When the security guard pulled up the surveillance footage from last night, the two police officers were dumbfounded.
"Are you sure this is a surveillance camera with no blind spots?" The policewoman asked, unwilling to give up.
The manager of the security department knew that Wan Qingsi had something to do with this incident, so he personally received them. When he heard the police officers' questions, he said unhappily, "Of course. This is a top-class apartment."
The main entrance, the parking lot, the elevator, and all other places that allowed people to enter and exit the building had no footage of Mei Jing leaving. She came back alone in the evening and didn't go out again. The surveillance footage recorded the time. Half an hour after she came back, Wan Qingsi also hurried into the elevator.
"Can you prove that we were together last night?" Asha blinked. The male police officer's face reddened again. "Yes, of course!"
The policewoman was about to say something when her phone rang. She picked it up and listened to a few words. Then, her face darkened even more. She hung up the phone. "Sorry to bother you two," she said grumpily.
"What's wrong?" the male police officer asked.
"Captain Chen called and said that the surveillance footage doesn't show Mei Jing entering the building either."
An Ru lived on the 28th floor. Could Mei Jing have grown wings and flown in?
"Officer," Wan Qingsi called out. "Can you tell me what happened to An Ru? She's an artist under our company, after all."
"Ah, sure," the police officer said, still frightened. "She can't speak, and her face … her face is disfigured."
An Ru made a scene in the hospital. She couldn't speak, so she smashed everything. After she calmed down, she began to post on Weibo. She even posted a picture of herself with a veil on her face.
Asha went back to the set to continue filming. Wan Qingsi sent her back to the company. A group of reporters surrounded him at the door.
"President Wan, An Ru's Weibo said that Mei Jing was the one who hurt her. Do you plan to seek justice for An Ru?"
"President Wan, if Mei Jing is the murderer, will Stars Entertainment terminate her contract?"
Qi Xiu rushed out from inside and stopped the reporters. Wan Qingsi stood on the stairs. "I was with Mei Jing the whole night yesterday. She didn't have a chance to go to An Ru's house."
The reporters went into a frenzy when they heard that. No wonder they couldn't find Mei Jing's room. They had been living together for a long time.
"The police have already talked to us about this. Mei Jing is still filming. I'm sure everyone knows what this means." After that, Wan Qingsi turned and walked into the elevator.
Qi Xiu finally managed to get rid of the reporters. His forehead was covered in sweat as he rushed into Wan Qingsi's office. "Hey, if you want to expose your cohabitation, don't do it now! Do you want me to die of exhaustion? "
"Send the contract to An Ru. Terminate her contract."
"Really?" Qi Xiu shook his head regretfully. "We spent a lot of money on her. We haven't even gotten it back yet!"
Wan Qingsi glanced at him. "She can't even talk now. How can she sing?"
"But if we do that, people will say that we're kicking her when she's down. Her fans will definitely condemn us. Who knows? Mei Jing might even get in trouble."
Qi Xiu knew that Wan Qingsi only cared about Mei Jing right now.
"She can't work in her current condition anyway. Why don't we just leave her be for now?"
Wan Qingsi thought about it and nodded.
An Ru's Weibo post quickly gained the support of her fans. Mei Jing's official Weibo account was flooded with criticism. Zhou Na rushed back to the company and had a five-minute meeting with Qi Xiu. After that, she started scrolling through Weibo.
When the reporters interviewed the police, they also said that Mei Jing had nothing to do with it.
Qi Xiu even posted the two surveillance videos online. No one knew who discovered it first, but it turned out that Wan Qingsi and Mei Jing had been living together for a long time! With that, many people suddenly turned to the gossip. The news about An Ru was quickly suppressed.
An Ru, who was in the hospital, saw it as well. She couldn't cry out loud, but her tears soaked the gauze on her face. It stung and itched. She wanted nothing more than to scratch her own face.
Tang Yue shared the surveillance videos on her own Weibo and posted a supportive emoji. Then, she tossed her phone aside.
"Sister Yue, why are you supporting her? She's already living with the boss." Xiao Zhao handed her a cup of coffee. "I really don't understand. You're so much better than her. Why would the boss …"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tang Yue glared at her. "The boss is just my senior. The one I like is Second Young Master Wen."
Xiao Zhao didn't dare to say another word. But deep down, she muttered, "That Second Young Master Wen has been missing for almost half a year. Who knows if he still remembers you …"
"An Ru is finished this time. Stars Entertainment will never hire her again, regardless of whether her voice recovers or not," Tang Yue said slowly. She glanced at Asha, who was talking to Depp on the other side of the table. She felt a little indignant.
Depp had been polite and courteous to Tang Yue, but he was so friendly with Asha. It was almost as if they were old friends.
Xiao Zhao thought for a moment and understood. "She framed Mei Jing. The boss will definitely terminate her contract."
"How do you know she framed Mei Jing? She might be telling the truth!" Tang Yue took a sip of coffee. "She's not stupid. There's no reason for her to frame Mei Jing and offend Stars Entertainment."
"Ah!" Xiao Zhao covered her mouth in disbelief. "You're saying that Mei Jing really did it?"
Tang Yue didn't say anything. She closed her eyes and rested. Xiao Zhao didn't dare to ask any more questions. She covered Tang Yue with a coat and stood quietly to the side.
It was highly likely that Wan Qingsi was the one who had ordered his men to do this.
Back in Caesar, there was a boy who claimed that Asha wasn't the Ying family's biological daughter. Wan Qingsi beat him up and sent him to the hospital. He didn't recover for more than half a year. Rumor had it that even the boy's family went bankrupt. Everyone knew how protective Wan Qingsi was of Asha.
What a fool, Tang Yue thought, despising An Ru again. She wasn't sure if Wan Qingsi really liked Mei Jing, but at least for now, he was willing to support her and even live with her. An Ru still dared to frame Mei Jing. She was digging her own grave.
The next day, the newspapers were full of reports about An Ru's disfigurement and Wan Qingsi and Mei Jing living together. Even the Hong Kong newspapers had a page devoted to the story. After breakfast, Lin Musheng glanced at the newspaper. His eyes lit up.
"Longhu, call the old man!"
