The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 77

Through police investigation and questioning, Qin Wei finally understood what had happened.

When Chen Maoran came, he shook hands with her and chatted with her to distract her attention. But she saw the one who poured wine for her had bad intentions. Although he ostentatiously opened the bottle of red wine in front of her, he added some unknown drug into the wine glass skillfully and covertly, obviously an expert.

Then, Chen Maoran urged her to drink again and again. By then, Qin Wei had been sure he was up to no good.

If she had to cooperate with such a disgusting person, she'd rather not take this endorsement!

But she could not just leave like this and get a reputation for being "temperamental".

Even if she was in the wrong, the agency should take the blame. Besides, this little jerk just touched her hand like that, she could not let it go so easily!

In order not to arouse his vigilance, Qin Wei called the hotel waiter over. He was her fan and had cautiously asked for her autograph when he came in. She readily agreed and the boy was very happy, even whispering to Qin Wei, "Keep it up in the future."

Qin Wei called him over and said almost in a whisper:

"Buy anything, then call the police."

The waiter apparently understood. He left inconspicuously, and brought back a wet towel, quietly telling her that he had called the police.

Seeing Chen Maoran urging her to drink again and again, she smiled and casually pushed the glass in front of her aside, then picked up the half bottle of wine on the table:

"Drinking from a glass is boring. How can it compare to drinking straight from the bottle?"

With that, she suddenly stood up, grabbed the bottle and smashed it at Chen Maoran's head. Chen Maoran screamed, and at the same time, the police arrived.

Li Yao was dumbfounded by the whole process.

Like Shen Kai, he didn't know what had happened until the police told the story.

As soon as the police came in, Qin Wei threw away the broken bottle and pointed at Chen Maoran with blood all over his face, looking innocent:

"Comrade police, he touched me first."

...

After controlling the suspect, collecting samples, and questioning, during which Qin Wei ordered food and the police allowed the waiter to deliver the food, thus the scene Shen Kai saw when he came in.

Liu Simin also rushed over. She was left downstairs by Shen Kai earlier and had to wait a long time for the elevator.

The police checked the surveillance video, then compared the samples taken with the drug container found on the suspect, along with evidence like the room card found on the suspect. Chen Maoran had no choice but to admit it.

Everything proved Qin Wei was right.

As for Shen Kai, the police also cleared him. He had no dealings with the suspect, and Liu Simin was also willing to testify for him.

"Ms. Qin, we'll take the suspect back for further interrogation. We'll update you on developments by phone. Please ask your agent to come in tomorrow."

After the police finished speaking, Qin Wei stood up and shook hands to express her gratitude:

"Our people's police are the most reliable in handling cases. Thank you for your hard work today!" 𝚏r𝗲ewe𝚋𝐧𝚘vel.𝚌𝚘m

The police officer said, "To serve the people is what we should do."

At this point, the police smiled:

"Ms. Qin, I've also watched your competition videos. I wish you success in your next competitions!"

The police took the suspect away. Qin Wei also wiped her mouth after eating her fill. Looking at the unfinished food on the table, she said to Li Yao:

"Pack up the leftovers for me to take away. I'll have it for lunch tomorrow. Also, don't pay for this meal, put it on their Tiancheng's tab."

She completely ignored Shen Kai. Finally, when she was about to leave, he couldn't help it:

"Qin Wei, you knew it was unsafe here, yet you still dared to come. Aren't you afraid something might happen?!"

Qin Wei stopped and looked at the handsome but unfamiliar man. She had checked online. He was the Shen Kai who had been rumored with the original host.

This man was truly handsome. No wonder he sounded so confident in his messages.

Tsk tsk, he's good looking alright, but just not her type.

Since they knew each other, there was no need for polite small talk. Qin Wei said directly:

"Of course I only found out their malicious intentions after coming. I immediately called the police, is there a problem?"

"How can there be no problem? Do you know how sinister their drugging methods are? Don't you read the news? Those people can stealthily drug girls right under their noses!"

Qin Wei sat down, picked up the red wine on the table, and poured it into an empty glass, then placed it in front of Shen Kai.

Shen Kai picked up the glass and saw a melon seed that she had thrown in at some point, with the help of the light.

Even though he had been staring at it the whole time...

"Just a little trick. Sis has seen storms too!"

Of course she knew. During her time as a trainee overseas, her senior at the company had shown her and told her that if she couldn't be sure, she shouldn't drink the beverage anymore once it's out of sight.

Qin Wei smiled brilliantly at him and said "see you" before leaving with Li Yao carrying the packaged food.

She could be heard clearly asking him while walking away:

"With such vigilance, how did you let your guard down backstage at the preliminaries?"

Unpleasant memories...

Qin Wei humphed:

"That was issued by the program team, unopened. Besides, people like You You generally wouldn't be suspected, right!?"

"Ah, you... Let me tell you, the more beautiful the woman, the less you can trust her..."

Qin Wei rolled her eyes at him:

"Go tell Zhang Wuji that!"

...

The next morning, Li Yao called to say he was coming over. Qin Wei got out of bed, and happened to have something to discuss with Li Yao too.

After washing up and going downstairs, Li Yao arrived, together with Xu Mingchuan.

Li Yao went to the police station early to sign documents and confirm follow-up matters. His voice was a little hoarse now:

"I just came back from the police station. I went to confirm the transcript and complete the formalities. I was tossing and turning all night last night, kept thinking I had wronged you. If you weren't so vigilant, I dare not imagine the consequences. No matter what, let me apologize first.

As for Chen Maoran, he has been criminally detained. Tianshi Company also said they would handle it. With Mr. Shen Kai's help, Tiancheng Group is also aware of the situation.

Reporting to headquarters will take some time, but they will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. You can trust..."

"Have a seat."

Qin Wei then walked over with renewed spirits,

"I was going to tell you at noon, but since you're here, I'll just say it directly..."

Li Yao swallowed nervously.

Qin Wei rubbed her temples. She didn't sleep well last night either:

"What happened last night was terrible, but fortunately nothing happened. You were anxious to get the endorsement for my sake. Since we're both fine, let's put this past us.

By the way, Shen Kai came yesterday too, out of concern for me, and I misunderstood him.

From what you said, he did help me out a bit. I bought two boxes of oranges online from the southwest region. Go visit him later to deliver them as an apology. We can't owe people favors."

Li Yao hesitated:

"Giving gifts to apologize is fine... I also agree with not owing favors... But two boxes of oranges... hmm... isn't it... hmm... stingy?"

Qin Wei rubbed her eyebrows:

"What do you know? These oranges are poverty alleviation fruits, from remote rural areas in southwest China. The fruit quality is great, no worse than imported ones!"

Li Yao scratched his head:

"That's not what I meant... I didn't mean giving domestic fruit is stingy, I meant is giving fruit a bit..."

Qin Wei was on a completely different wavelength from him:

"I've tried them. The juice content is high and they're sweet. I'll buy them again if I have the chance."
