Chapter 222 - A Big Blunder
Yu You smiled. She wasnt gorgeous by any means, but she looked smart.
Arent you going to bandage it? Yun Xiangxiang noticed Yu You starting to stow the things away after she applied the salve.
It will heal faster if you dont bandage it, Yu You explained. Dont worry, it wont get infected. Ill reapply it once every five hours.
Ill be in your care then, Yun Xiangxiang felt embarrassed.
Dont worry about it. Taking care of you is my job now, Yu You smiled.
Yun Xiangxiang didnt know what she should say. They were not close after all. Yu You did her own thing. After tidying her things away, she asked Yun Xiangxiang, Can you bring me to the place where it happened?
Yun Xiangxiang nodded. He Wei told the public that the falling glass was an accident. He didnt tell them about the bomb. It was his decisive ploy to see who would hand or make the bomb fall into the demolitionists hand.
As there was insufficient evidence, they did not call the cops. Even the guess about someone causing an accident because they slipped when they moved things was just a guess. Nobody saw anyone up there back then. Even Ai Li only saw the silhouette of half a head. She couldnt see the person clearly, as she was blocked by the glass panel.
But the crew had cordoned off the house where the glass fell from. The staff were also keeping an eye on it.
He Wei wanted to strike fear into the perpetrators heart, causing them to reveal themselves.
Yun Xiangxiang and Yu You entered the room easily. The whole building was reserved for their filming. Since the houses interior was not in use, nobody would decorate it. That was why not many things were in there.
One glance was enough to take in all the decor. Yun Xiangxiang followed Yu You around. Yu You looked around for five minutes before going downstairs to stand where Yun Xiangxiang stood when the glass fell. She then went to where Ai Li stood.
As Ai Li was taller than her, she placed a brick and stood on it. Yun Xiangxiang knew she was trying to determine the perpetrators height through this.
The perpetrator needed to keep their exposure to a minimum, yet they needed to be sure they could hit Yun Xiangxiang. Knowing that, Yu You could deduce roughly where the perpetrator stood. If she looked through Ai Lis perspective, she could know their height and distance.
Somethings not right, after Yu You was done, she knew something was different from her assumption.
Yun Xiangxiang was baffled. She was horrible at deduction.
Xiangxiang, can you get some people for me to recreate the crime scene? Yu You requested from Yun Xiangxiang.
Ill call Brother Wei. Only Brother Wei can call the shots for this.
He Wei was an efficient man. He also trusted Yun Xiangxiang. The producer had some complaints, but He Wei overruled them.
As their injuries were minor, Du Changrong and Yi Yan came back to cooperate too.
Hold on. Director Du, youre saying that you were standing right here, and the glass fell after you turned around, right? Yu You grasped the key to the case.
Yeah, I showed some movements because I was explaining a scene for them, Du Changrong nodded.
Yun Xiangxiang and Yi Yan attested to that statement. It looked like that back then.
Mr. He, I think youre taking the wrong way in this case. Xiangxiang wasnt the target of the attack. Director Du was.
Yu You looked at He Wei. She pointed at the window. The perpetrator has to stand there to stay hidden and confirm the target was beneath the glass. Director Dus position was confirmed before he turned around. When they retreated to push the steel pipes, they didnt know Director Du had changed places. Of course, that meant Xiangxiang did change her place too.
Yu You drew where the trio stood at first, as well as where the glass fell. When done, they were certain the target was Du Changrong.
If Yun Xiangxiang and Yi Yan were faster, they could have dodged it.
Yun Xiangxiang looked shocked. Am I not blessed by the goddess of luck?
No wonder they couldnt find the suspect after investigating for so long. They made a huge blunder.
Me? Du Changrong didnt expect him to be the target. Who would want to kill me?
Im sorry. This isnt in my job scope, Yu You answered politely.
She was only responsible for serving Yun Xiangxiang. If the target was not her, she did not see the need to waste her time further.
Thank you, Miss Yu, He Wei was still grateful. After all, with Yu Yous arrival, within a day, they knew who the actual target was. He trusted their investigation would be quick if he traced it back from Du Changrong.
Director Du, you have to treat me to a meal, Yun Xiangxiang requested.
Of course, of course, cold sweat poured from Du Changrong.
Ai Li was only responsible for Yun Xiangxiang. If it werent for him moving back, he would have been dead by now. He didnt have an agile bodyguard like she did.
We were all collateral damage, Yun Xiangxiang immediately visited Ai Li and told her about the blunder.
Im just glad youre not who theyre after, Ai Li was worried about Yun Xiangxiang, as she couldnt protect her now.
Get well soon. I need you to protect me, Yun Xiangxiang was getting closer with Ai Li.
Ill be discharged in two days, she had a few stitches for her wound and could only be discharged after the stage of susceptibility is over.
The crew stopped filming for a while. As both incidents were not after her, Yun Xiangxiang didnt get involved. She applied for leave to take care of Ai Li in the hospital.
He Wei was busy investigating and making things clearer. He didnt have time to care for Yun Xiangxiang, so he let her do what she wanted: stay at the hospital to care for Ai Li.
On the second day of Yun Xiangxiangs stay at the hospital, the news headline read: He Xingzhou is acquitted of his charges.
Song Meng sent it to her ASAP. It was the thirty-seventh day of He Xingzhous detention. He was finally proven innocent.
This was a big case. Too many people followed it. Too many people wanted to know the truth, but the Ministry of Justice did not release any reports.
You Jie was arrested though. Rumors said You Jie backstabbed He Xingzhou. After all, only those close to him knew He Xingzhous account number. You Jie used to be close to He Xingzhou.
One was arrested, one released. Netizens started their clue-finding trip. Hindsight is twenty-twenty, after all.
Yun Xiangxiang didnt believe any of the comments. He Xingzhou was unusually quiet after he was released. There wasnt even a post about it.
On the next day, He Xingzhou called her alone. He sounded depressed, Thank you, Xiangxiang.
For what? Yun Xiangxiang was puzzled.
Someone told me I should thank you for getting my name cleared in such a short time, there was finally a hint of a smile in He Xingzhous voice.
I didnt do anything. Im glad you got out in one piece, Yun Xiangxiang didnt dare accept his gratitude. But when she thought of You Jie, she asked after a pause, Can youtell me the whole story?
