462: Chapter 436: Struggle 462: Chapter 436: Struggle “Everyone calm down, this might just be a smokescreen thrown out by Shi Qing’er and Lin Xiaoxiang to divert the dia’s attention!” Lin Songbai made his judgnt.
“But… they are already at the airport, if they don’t catch their flight, wouldn’t that be shooting themselves in the foot?!” Bai Ge still expressed concern.
“Snap, snap, snap,” Lin Songbai lit a cigarette for himself and sat leisurely on the sofa before turning on the TV and saying, “When the ti cos, they can say they got the flight wrong, the plane was delayed, a bunch of excuses.
These little tricks are just their death throes.
Let’s not believe it until we see the live report!”
The three of them sat on the sofa with unease in their hearts, quietly waiting for the dia reports from the airport.
As Shi Qing’er and Lin Xiaoxiang, protected by Zhong Xiao and his team, stepped out of the business vehicle, dia reporters from all over surged forward.
“Miss Li, are you here to pick up Agent Liu’s flight?
Are you sure he will definitely appear here today?”
Struggling to move forward under the protection of Zhong Xiao and Huzi, Shi Qing’er said, “I’m sure, he should arrive in about five minutes.”
“Miss Li, a well-known musician has revealed that Agent Liu is involved in a scandal, is that true?”
“You…” Shi Qing’er was about to snap but was poked by Lin Xiaoxiang beside her and quickly put on a smile, saying, “It’s not true, because before the incident you ntioned happened, Agent Liu had already gone to Hudu City and could not have done such a thing.”
“Miss Li, as Agent Liu’s employer, is there a need for you to personally pick him up?
Or is this visit just a front?”
Shi Qing’er clenched her teeth, feeling almost frozen in a forced smile, “He’s not just an agent, he’s also a great teacher who has taught a lot.
Isn’t respecting teachers and valuing the way a traditional virtue?”
Shi Qing’er finally managed to get through the responses Lin Xiaoxiang had taught her.
She truly admired Lin Xiaoxiang; none of these reporters’ questions had gone beyond the ten answers Lin Xiaoxiang had prepared for her.
“Attention all passengers!
Attention all passengers!
Flight NK171 has now arrived…” The airport terminal broadcast announced the arrival of the flight.
Sure enough, before long a stream of passengers ca out.
The dia reporters focused their caras on the exit, worried about missing Liu Hun.
After a while, when nobody else erged from the exit, the dia reporters imdiately bombarded Shi Qing’er.
“Miss Li, you were quite certain earlier that Liu Hun would show up here.
What do you have to say now?”
Speak!
Speak, my foot!
Can’t you wait a little longer?
No patience at all!
Shi Qing’er thought to herself, not knowing how to respond and choosing to say nothing.
Seeing Shi Qing’er remaining silent, the reporters beca even more insistent.
“Miss Li, is Agent Liu at the police station right now, and is your purpose here sothing else?”
Idiots!
He was released days ago!
And if I saw him go to the airport, do you think I’d tell you?
Shi Qing’er internally retorted.
“Miss Li, are you suggesting that there was a mistake with the flight information!
Or are you saying the plane was delayed for so reason?”
Ah!
So many questions?
Are you the human version of a ‘million whys’?
I want to say, can you please stop asking…
Shi Qing’er was already feeling powerless.
“Liu Hun!
Liu Hun!
Look!
There’s Liu Hun!
He’s out!
That’s him!
He’s co out!” A reporter suddenly began to shout excitedly at the exit, behaving as if they had spotted a most wanted criminal.
Pushing a suitcase, Liu Hun walked out slowly, calm and composed under the incessant flash of the caras.
“Agent Liu… is that really you?” A reporter stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Ah!
These reporters are so dumb!
A live person’s right here and they’re still asking such pointless questions.
But…
why did this guy co out so late?
Could it be he had a fling with a flight attendant or sothing?
Shi Qing’er started to worry.
“If you’re looking for Liu Hun, that should be !” Liu Hun said as he handed his luggage to a lackey and walked shoulder to shoulder with Shi Qing’er towards the airport exit.
“Agent Liu, a well-known musician has revealed that you are involved in a scandal, what is your comnt on that?”
“Baseless accusations, probably just a tactic to hype things up.” Liu Hun replied succinctly.
“Agent Liu, that musician presented a clear phone recording regarding the matter, what do you think about that?”
Liu Hun answered with ease, “I haven’t heard the phone recording yet but if it’s true, I reserve the right to pursue legal action against him.”
“Agent Liu, can you tell us when exactly you left for Hudu City?”
Liu Hun had already reached the business vehicle when he worried no one would ask this question.
But the keen dia reporters did not disappoint him.
He took out the plane ticket that Mu Jin had prepared and showed it to the reporters, saying, “Here’s the ticket, with the ti and information on it, and it can also be verified with the airline.
Thank you all for your concern about Liu Hun, and I hope you will all support Qing’er’s upcoming new album.” With that, Liu Hun got into the business vehicle.
“You bastard, how could you…”
Shi Qing’er was about to get into the car, the words directed at Liu Hun were not yet finished when keen-eared reporters imdiately overheard.
“Miss Shi Qing’er, what were you just saying?
Can you repeat it for us?” a reporter imdiately asked Shi Qing’er.
“I said…
I want to eat a fried egg, hehe!” After Shi Qing’er finished speaking, she imdiately got into the car.
After the car door closed, Liu Hun explained, “I was just helping an old man with his luggage on the plane; that’s why I was late.”
Hearing this explanation, Shi Qing’er felt much more at ease.
After Liu Hun finished explaining, he asked Zhong Xiao, “How are things on your end, Zhong Xiao?”
Zhong Xiao replied, “Don’t worry, boss Liu, the brothers are keeping a tight watch.
If those guys make a move, I’ll let you know the mont it happens.”
“Have you found a lawyer?” Liu Hun asked Lin Xiaoxiang.
Lin Xiaoxiang nodded and said, “We found one.
It’s the lawyer, Jin Zhu, who handled Chang Hechun’s case before.
She’s the best when it cos to defamation.”
It turned out to be her, Liu Hun nodded and said, “Let’s go see this lawyer Jin right away and discuss the matter.
As soon as there’s any result from Chief Mu at the police station, we’ll imdiately file a lawsuit!”
The business van imdiately turned around and headed for the private law firm.
The news that Liu Hun had left before the incident was confird by multiple dia who called the airline, and reporters imdiately split into two groups: one headed straight for Lin Songbai’s villa, while the other rushed to the police station to wait for the deadline promised by Mu Zhengrong.
A few people who had personally witnessed Liu Hun’s appearance at the airport from inside Lin Songbai’s villa were completely dumbfounded, feeling utterly outsmarted, wishing they could grow an extra couple of ounces of brains to make sense of the situation.
“Smack smack smack!” Lin Songbai even slapped his own face, “Damn it!
It burns!
This isn’t a dream!”
“How on earth did Liu Hun manage this?
Who was the last to leave the Hilton Hotel?” Jia Tianhao asked incredulously.
“!
What’s it to you?!
Are you suspecting ?!
I was the one who personally drugged Liu Hun and Su Qingya’s drinks, there’s no way they could have escaped at that ti!” Chen Sike said with certainty.
“Then…
could it have been Huang Xin’er who let them go?” Bai Ge speculated.
“Impossible!”
This ti it wasn’t Huang Xin’er’s boyfriend Chen Sike who spoke, it was Lin Songbai.
“Liu Hun’s plane ticket shows that he left half an hour after the celebration ended!
And at that ti, all of us knew he was in our custody, which ans it couldn’t have been an internal problem.
Soone skilled must be behind Liu Hun, getting him out of the police station and even conspiring with the airline to falsify records!” Lin Songbai analyzed ticulously.
“So, what should we do now?” Bai Ge asked sowhat panicky.
“Why panic?
The evidence provided by Huang Xin’er was concrete and on record!
Even if Liu Hun has the ability to escape this ti, what cri have we committed?
Who knows we are the masterminds behind this incident?
If not this ti, there will be a next ti!
As long as we’re careful and don’t slip up, it will be us who plays Liu Hun, not the other way round!” Lin Songbai said with a cold laugh, having considered these matters thoroughly, believing his actions were flawless and beyond reproach.
Jia Tianhao nodded in agreent, his face showing a relieved smile, “Lin Producer is right!
We haven’t lost yet; even if we lose this ti, there’s always a next.
Co on, let’s have a drink and relax!
Don’t be too tense!”
“Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Ding dong!”
Just as Lin Songbai was about to lift his wine glass, a hurried doorbell rang at the entrance.
“It should be those nosy reporters.
Probably saw Liu Hun has returned and want to badmouth , hmph!
I’ll go take a look, you guys keep drinking!” Lin Songbai said, swaggering to the door.
Through the monitor, he indeed saw a crowd of reporters.
Lin Songbai brushed back his slick hair, adjusted his hairstyle, and then opened the door.
The mont it opened, a barrage of questions was unleashed.
“Producer Lin, are you aware that Agent Liu has returned from Hudu City?
What are your thoughts on this?”
“Hmm, I just saw it on TV.
He’s back, so he’s back; I have no opinion on it,” Lin Songbai responded with an air of indifference, as if it had nothing to do with him.
“Producer Lin, earlier in the Hilton Hotel’s lobby, you played back a recorded phone call for and generously offered an explanation.
How do you feel about that now?
Do you think you might have been wrong?
Or misled by soone?”
“As for that…
First of all, everyone heard the recording loud and clear; it’s genuine and accurate.
Secondly, it’s too early to make som conclusions now; we need to wait for the police’s findings,” Lin Songbai deflected everything to the police.
“Producer Lin, if this matter has nothing to do with Agent Liu, does that an soone may have deliberately frad him?”
“I’ll say it again, wait for the police’s findings.
Alright, I’ve answered your questions; I hope you reporters won’t disturb my rest, thank you,” Lin Songbai said, intending to re-enter the house.
