Rebirth of a Star: Another Day, Another Drama Chapter 100

Chapter 100 – Who Is The Mastermind? (2)

Last night, two female artists were threatened, one after the other . The Public Security Bureau had immediately set up an incident team after the accident had occurred . At present, the incident team was conducting an investigation .

Although the faces were blurred with mosaics, Lan Jinyao could still recognise one of them as Shen Wei’an . She didn’t know who the other one was .

Fu Bainian tightly clenched her hand . “You didn’t come back last night, and I was really worried . ”

“I’m sorry . I was drunk last night, so I stayed at the bar . I didn’t know something like this would happen . ”

It wasn’t like the matter reported in the news didn’t exist within the entertainment industry, but generally speaking, the level of confidentiality surrounding an artist’s residence was very high . It wasn’t like they were placed that ordinary people could enter as they wished .

“It’s good that you’re alright, but don’t worry me anymore,” his voice was light and devoid of the slightest trace of blame . Lan Jinyao’s heart warmed . All the way home she’d been extremely nervous as she’d thought that Fu Bainian would be angry with her .

What Fu Bainian didn’t say was that he’d called everyone who might be in contact with her, and he’d searched anywhere that she could go last night . At the time, he’d had the intention of turning the entire city upside down to find her .

Lan Jinyao leaned against his chest and focused her attention on the TV .

A moment later, she suddenly asked Fu Bainian, “One of the two people is Shen Wei’an, but who is the other person?”

“It’s a lesser-known artist in the industry, an 18-line singer who hasn’t filmed any TV series!”

Fu Bainian didn’t say the actress’ name, so Lan Jinyao thought that he probably didn’t know her name . She asked again, “What’s the connection between them? I mean, their relationship outside of the entertainment industry . ”

“It’s not yet known . ”

The news wasn’t long, and it soon finished . Lan Jinyao took the remote and replayed the news again .

Although there wasn’t an outline of the rooms on the news, the place where the blood was smeared was recorded in a close-up shot by the reporter . Lan Jinyao observed that the bloodshed on both sides was completely different . In the room of the unknown artist, the blood was spread out over a large area, while the blood in Shen Wei’an’s room seemed to have been deliberately smeared by someone . Looking at the shape, it looked like there were words that had been erased .

Lan Jinyao turned to look at Fu Bainian . When her gaze fell on his face, he nodded . “I also noticed that . ”

Not only did Lan Jinyao and Fu Bainian notice this particular detail, but once the news was broadcasted, there was an amazing amount of forwarding on the internet . The netizens with sharp eyes had opened up the discussion on the topic . The most talked about was Jack the Ripper or a homicidal maniac .

Not only did Lan Jinyao and Fu Bainian notice this particular detail, but once the news was broadcasted, there was an amazing amount of forwarding on the internet . The netizens with sharp eyes had opened up the discussion on the topic . The most talked about was Jack the Ripper or a homicidal maniac .

Even other actresses had forwarded the news, saying that they were afraid they would be the next target .

At this moment, the entire entertainment industry was anxious .

Very soon, the results of the investigations conducted by the incident team were exposed by the paparazzi . The police officers of the team had thoroughly questioned Shen Wei’an . However, Shen Wei’an’s answer was that she didn’t know; it was already like that when she woke up . Shen Wei’an, who was beating about the bush, immediately had a close-up shot taken by the paparazzi .

When the video was posted online, the internet exploded once again, and the enthusiasm continued to rise without a sign of going down .

Lan Jinyao roughly took a look and found that there were two types of discussions . The first was that Shen Wei’an had offended someone . This version was quickly denied though because if Shen Wei’an really had offended someone, then what about the other actress? The other version was that a perverted psychopath had appeared in the city, so following that, more female artists’ homes were going to be stained red with blood . The number of supporters for this second version was rapidly increasing .

“Which version do you prefer?” Lan Jinyao asked Fu Bainian during breakfast the next morning . Instead of answering, Fu Bainian raised his head and asked her, “Where were you that night?”

Lan Jinyao, who was abruptly questioned, was dumbfounded .

“Do you suspect that it was me, Fu Bainian?” Lan Jinyao asked as she put down her chopsticks .

“Do you suspect that it was me, Fu Bainian?” Lan Jinyao asked as she put down her chopsticks .

“I don’t; I merely asked you to remind you . Before, Shen Wei’an was able to plan the incident in the hotel, and although those reporters didn’t get anything, they still took pictures . Those with discerning eyes know that there’s a grudge between you and Shen Wei’an . No matter the size of the contradiction, it constitutes your motivation to do this . ”

Lan Jinyao’s heart felt heavy .

“If I’m not wrong, those photos will be exposed soon, and the police will call you in for questioning . At that time, it doesn’t matter who did this, as it will have a great impact on your image . ” At that time, even if the truth is revealed, this will be the first impression ignorant people will have of her when mentioning her .

“Then what do you think I should do now? Should I strike first?”

Fu Bainian pondered for a moment before he sighed, “That’s the only solution . ”

Lan Jinyao felt helpless . No matter what happened, as long as it was something related to Shen Wei’an, it would always manage to drag her down; even if it had nothing to do with her .

That afternoon, Lan Jinyao left to shoot an ad . The images taken last time at the Glass Bridge were quite beautiful and had caused many advertising companies to notice her . Thus, the shooting schedule for the second short film of the series was bumped up by a week .

As soon as Li Qi saw her, he worriedly said to her, “I estimate that the media will come to you regarding this matter for a few days . We have to think of a way to deal with it first . ”

As expected of a top Manager . Li Qi’s brain was turning very fast, and all possibilities were expected .

As expected of a top Manager . Li Qi’s brain was turning very fast, and all possibilities were expected .

Lan Jinyao guessed some of the questions that he might ask, so she voluntarily confessed . “I was with Lan Xin that night . We were drinking in the bar where He Xiaoyun works . Once we were drunk, Xiaoyun helped us to the room above the bar, and we both slept until the next morning . ”

“Just two people? This will be a bit difficult to deal with . All right, don’t worry, let me think about countermeasures . ”

Seeing that he was slightly upset, Lan Jinyao added, “Isn’t there three people? He Xiaoyun happened to be working the night shift at that time . What’s more, there were quite a lot of people in the bar . ”

“That’s right; we’ll deal with it this way . Everyone in the bar can be your witness . I’ll contact a reporter later and anonymously provide information . It’s unlikely that this news will be big, so it won’t have much of an impact on your reputation . But, this way we can avoid you being dragged into Shen Wei’an’s case . ”

Lan Jinyao thought for a moment and nodded . “Go and arrange it . I’m leaving now . ”

Initially, this matter should’ve been easily uncovered and done with, but what Lan Jinyao didn’t anticipate was that a problem would arise between her and Fu Bainian because of this .

The root cause of the problem was buried from then on .
