Li Jin was tall and muscular. Unlike Mo Ting, he didn't have the majestic aura of a king. Instead, he was cold enough to make people feel suffocated and afraid to speak.
Li Jin … sounded like the name of an ancient dynasty's crown prince. But, when compared to him …
It was a good fit.
Lin Qian didn't know where she found the courage to jump into Li Jin's car.
"Errr … I don't want to take up too much of your time. We can talk in the car," Lin Qian said cautiously. Lin Qian said cautiously. She suspected that if Li Jin stretched out his hand, her neck would definitely be broken.
"I don't like it when people talk about business in my car. It distracts me," Li Jin rejected.
Lin Qian froze for a moment and did not say another word.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly turned cold. Lin Qian cleared her throat, trying to find something to talk about. But, she realized Li Jin had no desire to talk to her.
This was the second man that she had met that made her afraid to even breathe. The first was Mo Ting.
Of course, compared to Li Jin, Mo Ting was a lot more dangerous. Perhaps, Li Jin's job gave her a sense of security.
Not long after, the couple arrived at a restaurant. As soon as they sat down, Lin Qian asked Li Jin, "Can I ask now?"
Li Jin sat down opposite Lin Qian and adjusted his casual clothes, "Go ahead."
"I think you should know more about the inside story …"
"The surveillance footage I gave you contains all the relevant information," Li Jin replied. "Sorry."
Lin Qian felt so awkward. Couldn't this man speak in a softer tone? Did he have to speak to a woman like he was in military training?
"However, I zoomed in on the surveillance footage. The black Porsche was already out of gas and had less than 30km left. Plus, he had to drive straight out of the city to avoid being captured. If I'm guessing correctly, the culprit would need to refuel near Black Water Bend. If he didn't refuel, then the car must have been abandoned nearby. "
After hearing this, Lin Qian quickly nodded her head, "The police also tried to find him, but they couldn't find him."
"What if the culprit didn't abandon the car or refuel? Then, there's another possibility: he drove it back to his home. Even if it's not his home, it must be somewhere he's familiar with. " After speaking, Li Jin knocked on the table with his finger out of habit, "Go check if there are any artists in the entertainment industry nearby. Perhaps, you'll find something."
The police had never considered this possibility.
Lin Qian couldn't help but gasp in surprise. People who came from the military were indeed different.
Lin Qian wanted to thank him, but Li Jin's phone suddenly rang.
Li Jin picked up his phone and went out to answer the call. When he came back, he said to Lin Qian, "Sorry, something came up. I'll take you back first."
"It's okay, I can walk by myself." Lin Qian quickly waved her hand.
"Let me see you off," Li Jin insisted.
Lin Qian had no choice but to say to Li Jin, "In that case, take me to the office. It's near here."
Lin Qian understood that Li Jin had a special job. Plus, she had no idea how she was going to spend time with Li Jin for a meal. Wouldn't it be too cold?
Li Jin did not say a word. On the way home with Lin Qian, he finally said, "I've seen a photo of you from my mom …"
"…"
"Let's eat when we have time …"
Lin Qian wanted to explain that she had no intention of going on a blind date.
But, after dropping her off, Li Jin turned and left...
Helplessly, Lin Qian passed on Li Jin's message to the police and they immediately began an investigation. However, after Tangning heard about the incident, she said, "The actor that replaced Luo Sheng in 'Red Flame' is quite interesting."
Tangning's meaning was obvious: she wanted to focus on investigating the matter.
In reality, she already had an idea. But, she still needed to find clues.
After all, she couldn't let Luo Sheng's injury go to waste. She was going to repay him a hundredfold. This was her promise to Luo Sheng.
It didn't take long before Long Jie received news from her sources that someone in the industry owned property in Blackwater Bay. But, she did not alert them. Instead, she informed the police and asked them to keep a close watch on them. Finally, two days later, the police arrived at the family's home and drove out in a car covered in a black cloth.
Although the driver wanted to destroy the car in the middle of the night, the police still caught him in the act.
The case had made a breakthrough. At least, the culprit had been identified. Afterwards, the police did some research and decided to arrest the culprit. It was none other than the uncle of the new male lead, Zheng.
For the sake of his nephew, he put himself in danger. He thought that as long as he destroyed the car, no one would find out. But, unfortunately …
Don't treat the police like idiots and don't think that you're smart.
Soon, the police announced that Luo Sheng's case had been solved and the culprit had confessed.
The culprit was Zheng Weiran's uncle and he just happened to be the male lead of 'Red Flame'. What did this mean? It meant that Zheng Weiran had deliberately hurt Luo Sheng and stolen his resources.
Inside the interrogation room, Zheng Weiran confessed that he had done everything and that it had nothing to do with his nephew. His nephew was innocent.
But, with the evidence that the police had, they could only pin the crime on his uncle.
On top of that, Zheng Weiran was smart enough to publicly apologize to Luo Sheng as soon as he found out that his uncle had been arrested. He even said that he was willing to return the male lead to Luo Sheng and asked that Luo Sheng didn't blame his uncle.
He brushed everything off cleanly.
But, Tangning didn't let him have his way. So, she responded, "Luo Sheng will soon be starring in the new drama 'Derivative', so you should keep 'Red Flame'. As for your claim that you didn't know anything about what happened, the police did not announce that Luo Sheng's sports car had been stolen. Yet, you knew everything. If you weren't a participant, how could you possibly know?"
"With your uncle taking the blame for you, you may be able to escape the punishment of the law. But, you can't escape the shackles of morality."
"For the sake of the male lead, you hurt Luo Sheng and almost caused him to lose his sight. Superstar Media will never forgive you and Luo Sheng will never forgive you. "
"Put away your disgusting act. We won't accept your pitiful act."
Tangning's simple statement reminded everyone that the culprit must have known about the incident and was a participant in it. So, the public shouldn't be fooled. Afterwards, Tangning released Luo Sheng's medical report and the extent of his injuries. After all, only by seeing something shocking would the public hate the culprit.
As expected, as soon as Superstar Media released their report, no one could do anything about it. As a result, the crew of 'Red Flame' was affected and had no choice but to temporarily stop filming.
After all, they had already broken their promise and now a culprit had appeared. With so many scandals added together, who would want to watch their drama?
