Chapter 456: Chapter 456 She Did It on Purpose

"Triidu-tudu—"

Imperial Court Hotel.

Hearing the police siren getting closer and closer, Wang Zhehai’s heart clenched.

Could it be that the police had arrived at the scene and arrested the driver responsible for the accident, Shi Yaoguang?

Just thinking about that possibility made his legs weak.

At that moment, he received a call from his assistant.

"Director Wang, great news!"

The assistant’s voice on the other end was brimming with excitement, "The police have taken Yaoguang to the Imperial Court Hotel!"

Wang Zhehai: "?"

A row of black lines appeared on his forehead.

Great news, what kind of great news is this!

But the assistant did not grasp his confusion, and expressed joy excitedly.

"Director Wang, I’m already on my way back. Hurry and come downstairs! Sister Yaoguang has really made us proud this time!"

Wang Zhehai still didn’t understand, "What do you mean by that?"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the busy signal beeping on the other end.

Director Wang: "..."

Damn!!

This assistant is too inconsiderate, I’ll dock his pay later!

...

Wang Zhehai cursed out the assistant in his heart and rushed downstairs as fast as he could.

Their production team had booked the hotel on the second floor.

If the police had brought Shi Yaoguang, as the host, he naturally had to go to the first floor to wait.

If there were any thorny issues, he could resolve them promptly, couldn’t he?

As Director Wang went on his way, he had a tragic sense of bravado, as if saying, "The wind howls and the icy river is chilling; a hero departs, never to return."

However.

The person he saw made him stunned.

This...

What’s the situation?

If he wasn’t seeing things incorrectly, Shi Yaoguang wasn’t being brought back in custody.

No handcuffs on her wrists, no shackles on her feet.

She was dressed in a black uniform, and honestly, she looked even more like a police officer than the actual police.

After getting out of the car, she walked towards him.

Director Wang subconsciously took a step back, her presence was too imposing!

No wonder she was the main actress he had chosen.

Just as he thought this, he became dejected again.

What did it matter that she was the main actress he had chosen? If she had caused trouble, she would still be done for.

Thinking this, he approached the police officer and politely began to speak.

"I’m sorry for the trouble, comrades..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the officer praise him in return.

"Miss Shi is the main actress in your crew, right? Your crew has done well, to have such discerning eyes to identify a hero!"

Wang Zhehai nodded along, chiming in, "Yes, yes..."

While doing so, his expression was still somewhat bewildered.

Weren’t they here to make accusations?

Why were they offering praises instead?

As he thought this, he heard the officer say, "Miss Shi explained that your premiere has already begun, and she was delayed by some matters. I hope the director can be understanding."

Wang Zhehai nodded his head and bowed, "Understand, I understand."

What was there not to understand?

At this point, all he hoped was that the production crew wouldn’t be implicated in any trouble.

While considering this, he heard the officer say, "This matter, in fact, is also our negligence. How about I accompany Miss Shi upstairs and speak on her behalf?"

Wang Zhehai froze, not quite grasping his meaning, "Speak, speak on her behalf?"

Speak what exactly?

Could it be because Shi Yaoguang had caused widespread anger, they were going to use the "Crimson Tears" crew as an example for a crackdown?

In just a breath, Wang Zhehai had envisioned a bleak picture for the crew.

He didn’t faint on the spot, all because of his good mentality.

Even though he resisted deep down, he couldn’t make any superfluous moves.

He could only politely invite the person upstairs.

Shi Yaoguang could tell from Wang Zhehai’s expression that he had misunderstood, and wanted to explain, but couldn’t find the right opportunity. He had to wait until they were on the second floor to talk about it.

Second floor.

The journalists had prepared all their equipment.

They started snapping photos as soon as Shi Yaoguang walked in.

However, they were somewhat restrained when it came to taking photos of the police officers, trying not to capture them to avoid the tragedy of having photos they couldn’t publish.

They might have been restrained with the police officers, but that didn’t mean they would be polite to Shi Yaoguang.

As soon as she entered, a reporter couldn’t help but ask a question.

"Miss Shi, is the Rolls-Royce that hit someone on Yull Road yours?"

Shi Yaoguang: "It’s mine."

The reporter’s eyes brightened and he continued to ask, "Were you driving the car at that time?"

Shi Yaoguang: "I was driving."

Upon hearing this, the reporter got even more excited, "Why did you deliberately drive into someone? Was it because the owner of the Volkswagen had a grudge against you, or did you simply look down on that Volkswagen?"

It must be said, the reporter’s question was overly cunning.

What did it mean by not liking a Volkswagen? Wasn’t this deliberately inciting the fires of wealth disparity?

Those who envied the rich would think upon hearing this that Shi Yaoguang did it on purpose, that she was looking down on people.

As a result, their perception of Shi Yaoguang certainly wouldn’t be good.

But...

What could be done about this?

It was simply the truth, wasn’t it?

The reporter’s bread and butter was this type of questioning.

Of course, not all reporters are only in it for the sensational stories.

But those present were entertainment journalists.

Covering hot topics was their primary job.

And how to find those hot topics? That all comes down to skill, doesn’t it?

Some people, even if they work their whole lives, can’t uncover a single explosive story.

Others...

They can take an otherwise uninteresting piece of news and turn it into a hot topic just by asking tricky questions.

The journalist interviewing Shi Yaoguang clearly belonged to the latter group.

The angle of his questions was undoubtedly tricky.

Every word, every sentence, pushed her towards an unfavorable angle.

If Shi Yaoguang was not careful and answered incorrectly, she would face irreversible consequences!

Shi Yaoguang naturally knew the journalist was trying to set her up.

However, she wasn’t worried.

Because...

She was fearless.

Digging a pit requires one to swing a shovel.

If you can’t swing the shovel, it’s all in vain.

After asking his question and seeing Shi Yaoguang not responding, the reporter continued to press: "Miss Shi, by not speaking, do you admit to feeling guilty?"

Shi Yaoguang shook her head, "I do not feel guilty."

The reporter was about to continue when Shi Yiqing, with red eyes, rushed out.

Her appearance attracted the attention of most people present.

She made a beeline for the police officer and said to him, "Officer, can you please not take my sister away?"

The officer frowned, his tone revealing no emotion, "And why can’t I take her away?"

Shi Yiqing’s words came out in an anxious jumble, "My sister definitely didn’t hit someone on purpose. There must be some misunderstanding. Officer, I believe you can see the truth and won’t misunderstand my sister, right?"

As she spoke, she blinked her wet eyes, looking at him with great hope.

The officer was silent for a moment, his brow furrowed.

Seeing his reaction, Shi Yiqing thought he intended to reject her plea and quickly continued, "I can prove that my sister didn’t commit premeditated murder! She was just... she was just in a bad mood."

"It’s normal to lose one’s temper when feeling down, isn’t it? You must believe what I say about my sister; she really didn’t mean to run someone over with her car."

The officer listened to her until she finished, then finally said, "She did it on purpose."
