Chapter 876 On the cusp of the storm
"Jiang Mubai, Shen Fang, just wait for me, I won't let you go!" Lu Qing growled with gritted teeth, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred.
At this moment, Li Yueyue, who was hiding at the other end of the corridor and had a panoramic view of all this, had an imperceptible sneer on her lips.
Li Yueyue hid behind the wall, her heart pounding like a war drum about to be beaten. She witnessed the hatred and resentment in Lu Qing's eyes, as if he wanted to eat Jiang Mubai and Shen Fang alive. She couldn't help but shudder, she had seen Lu Qing's cruelty.
"Serves them right! They stole my limelight!" Li Yueyue was secretly happy, but pretended to be worried. She walked quickly to Lu Qing and asked in surprise, "Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"
Lu Qing raised his head suddenly, and when he saw that it was Li Yueyue, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He grabbed Li Yueyue's arm, with such force that it seemed as if he was going to crush her bones, and said through gritted teeth: "Li Yueyue, you should have seen it, right? How they treated me!"
Li Yueyue frowned in pain, but still tried not to cry out. She nodded timidly and whispered, "Master Lu, don't be angry, they..."
"Angry?" Lu Qing sneered and shook off Li Yueyue's arm. "Not only will I be angry, I will also make them pay the price! I will make them kneel down and beg me!"
Li Yueyue's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she pretended to be afraid and asked: "Master Lu, what do you want to do? Don't do anything rash!"
Lu Qing glanced at her coldly and said in a stern tone: "It's none of your business what I do! Just remember to do your job well!"
After saying that, Lu Qing left without looking back.
Li Yueyue looked at Lu Qing's departing back, with a sinister arc on her lips. She took out her cell phone, dialed a number, and said in a brisk tone: "Hello, Director Zhang? I have big news here, about Shen Fang and Jiang Mubai, I promise you will be satisfied..."
……
On the other side, Jiang Mubai and Shen Fang didn't know that danger was approaching them. After Shen Fang was discharged from the hospital, the two moved in together and started a sweet cohabitation life.
"Xiaobai, have you really decided to move in and live with me?" Shen Fang asked as he helped Jiang Mubai pack his luggage, with a hint of subtle nervousness in his tone.
Jiang Mubai smiled and nodded, placing a photo frame on the bedside table. In the frame was a photo of the two of them. In the photo, they were smiling like flowers, looking happy and sweet.
"Of course, didn't you say you would protect me? I'm really afraid that Lu Qing would come and cause trouble for me." Jiang Mubai said deliberately, with a hint of mischief in his tone.
Hearing this, Shen Fang embraced Jiang Mubai and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, Xiaobai, I won't let anyone hurt you again."
Jiang Mubai's lips curled up into a sweet smile. She raised her head, took the initiative to kiss the corner of Shen Fang's lips, and said softly: "I believe you, Shen Fang."
Outside the window, the setting sun made the two figures look particularly slender. However, at this warm and sweet moment, a phone call broke the tranquility.
"Hello, is this Miss Jiang Mubai?" A strange male voice came from the other end of the line.
Jiang Mubai suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She held the phone tightly and asked uncertainly, "I am, may I ask who you are..."
"We are the police. We suspect you of intentional injury. Please cooperate with us and go back to assist in the investigation."
"What?!" Jiang Mubai was stunned. The phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground with a dull "bang".
Jiang Mubai felt her head explode with a buzzing sound, and her phone slipped from her palm and bounced a few times on the ground before stopping. She didn't even bother to pick it up, but just stared at Shen Fang blankly, her lips trembling, but she couldn't make any sound.
Shen Fang quickly supported her, frowning, and spoke in a worried and forceful tone: "Xiaobai, what's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but the hand holding Shen Fang was ice cold, and his fingertips were trembling slightly: "The police... the police said I was suspected of intentional injury and asked me to assist in the investigation..."
Shen Fang's eyes darkened, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind, finally settling on Li Yueyue's hypocritical face. He was almost certain that this matter was definitely related to her!
"Don't be afraid, Xiaobai, I'll go with you." Shen Fang hugged Jiang Mubai tightly in his arms, his tone firm, as if declaring that no matter what happened, he would stand by her and be her strongest support.
In the police station, the cold light shone on Jiang Mubai's face, making her originally fair skin look even paler. The air in the interrogation room seemed to be frozen, and it was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
"Name?"
"Jiang Mubai."
"age?"
"24 is old."
"Profession?"
"actor."
……
Jiang Mubai answered a series of questions one by one, but as the interrogation progressed, her heart became heavier. The evidence presented by the police was very unfavorable to her, including eyewitness testimony, surveillance video, and even the test report of her fingerprints...
"Ms. Jiang, we have sufficient evidence to prove that you had an argument with the victim at the bar last night and beat him, causing him to have a head injury, constituting a minor injury. Do you have anything else to defend yourself?"
"It wasn't me! I didn't hit anyone!" Jiang Mubai stood up suddenly and retorted excitedly, "I went to the bar to meet a friend. I didn't know the victim at all, let alone hit him!"
"Ms. Jiang, please calm down! We will make a judgment based on the evidence and facts. Please cooperate with us!"
"Cooperate? How can I cooperate? You are simply wronging me!" Jiang Mubai's emotions were a little out of control. She slammed the table hard, her eyes were red, but she stubbornly refused to shed a tear.
Seeing this, Shen Fang quickly stepped forward, pulled Jiang Mubai behind him, looked sharply at the interrogating policeman, and said in a steady and strong tone: "Officer, I believe my girlfriend is innocent. There must be some misunderstanding. We will actively cooperate with the investigation, and hope that you can find out the truth as soon as possible and clear her name."
"We will try our best."
However, the development of the matter was much more complicated than they had imagined. The police investigation reached a deadlock, the clues provided by the eyewitnesses were limited, and the surveillance video could only prove that Jiang Mubai appeared in the bar that night, but could not prove that she was the murderer.
As time went by, the news that Jiang Mubai was wrongly accused spread like wildfire and quickly fermented on the Internet. All kinds of speculations and insults flooded in, pushing Jiang Mubai to the forefront of public opinion.
