"Hello, we are from the police station. We received a report from the public that you are involved in inciting intentional harm to others. We are here to take you back to make a statement. Please cooperate with our work and open the door, okay?"
The agent also saw clearly that the people outside were not paparazzi, but people in uniform, and there were more than one of them.
Her usual experience and competence turned into dust and she became visibly flustered.
"No, not the paparazzi, but the police."
"… "
"Why are the police here?" The agent was already panicking and grabbed her wrist: "What should we do? What should we do?"
There was still a little bit of color on Si Xue's face, but now it has completely disappeared. Her pale face is comparable to that of a female ghost, and her lips are trembling: "...No, don't talk."
There was another shouting outside.
"We saw your car parked downstairs. We know you are at home. Could you please open the door and cooperate with the investigation?"
Si Xue trembled all over, her mind went blank, and she had only one thought - it's over, they are finished!
The agent didn't expect that the car he parked casually downstairs would become irrefutable evidence of his whereabouts. They couldn't even pretend that they were not at home.
She turned back to look at Si Xue again and said anxiously: "Si Xue, don't you have connections? Call your connections right away!"
Si Xue seemed to be suddenly awakened by someone. She came back to her senses and found her cell phone. She picked it up with trembling hands, found the number she had contacted during the day and called.
After a long wait.
Maybe a few seconds.
Maybe ten seconds.
Pick up the phone over there.
"I… "
Si Xue didn't wait for the man to finish speaking and suddenly interrupted hysterically: "Didn't you tell me that it was resolved? Why is Qiao Nian still beating me up online? And... the police, why are the police here?!"
The other end was startled, obviously not knowing the situation: "What do you mean by beating you up online, what about the police? What did you do again?"
Si Xue's spirit had long been on the verge of collapse. She didn't care about trying to please him. She gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't do anything! Instead, you kept saying that you could help me settle it. This is the result of you helping me settle it! I might as well not have found you and brought the police in! I don't care. I tell you, if I am taken away by the police for investigation, I will spit out everything and let everyone see how useless you HL Media are. You can't even handle a domestic crisis public relations, and you claim to be a global company... just close down!"
"Wait a minute, I'll talk to the president right away." The other party also held back his anger and hung up the phone after saying that.
Si Xue was extremely desperate and called home again.
Pick up in a few seconds.
She listened to someone knocking at the door.
"Listen, everyone inside. If you don't cooperate with us, we will break in. I remind you again, we are the police, and we hope you will cooperate with our investigation!"
Si Xue looked at the tightly closed door and said to the person on the other end with a choked voice and tears in her eyes, "Dad, the police are here."
…
ten minutes later.
The photo of Si Xue and her agent being taken away by the police for investigation at their residence was captured by the paparazzi and spread all over the Internet.
The fact that the police came to her door was enough to prove that Si Xue was definitely not an innocent person.
There was originally a small group of fans online who insisted that the recordings and animated images uploaded by Qiao Nian were fake, but they were slapped in the face by the official and shut up.
Qiao Nian had just posted that Weibo post in her room on the second floor, and before she had time to arrange follow-up, she saw the news that Si Xue had been taken away by the police. (End of this chapter)
