Chapter 289

In front of the three questions were far-fetched, but Qin Wei could still endure it. Why did this last question suddenly target Qiao Sixiao?

"Everything you want to know is in the police bulletin. This whole incident has nothing to do with my friend. If you want to know the details, you can ask the police officers in charge of the case."

After Qin Wei finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but those reporters blocked her way and did not let her through at all.

"Does Ms. Qiao know about this? Do you know the innocent citizen who was injured by her is still lying in the hospital? They are ordinary families, some don't even have stable jobs. Will you cover their medical expenses?"

Troubles were directed at Qiao Sixiao, and Qin Wei could no longer restrain herself. She pointed at the reporter who asked the question and said:

"Everything is subject to the police bulletin. I believe in the law. Say whatever you want, but only to me. Afterwards, I will sue you, including those of you present who are sensationalizing this, especially you."

The reporter who was pointed at suddenly shut up and silently retreated into the crowd.

But there were still people asking:

"Excuse me, when will Ms. Qin Wei apologize to the public? Or do you think from beginning to end you did nothing wrong?"

"What's her fault! Tell me, I'm officially informing you that I'm recording this. Tell me Qin Wei's faults one by one, and then we'll talk about what legal responsibilities slander and rumor-mongering entail!"

Qiao Sixiao, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. Her words stunned many reporters, whether in shock or silence. Shocked that Qiao Sixiao would publicly lash out at the media, and silent because in order to gain traffic, they did sensationalize this, but also did not want to bear legal responsibility for it.

After two or three minutes, Assistant Wang, who was waiting in the car, suddenly realized something was wrong. He sprinted over in the blink of an eye and forcibly took the two of them away.

When they arrived at the parking lot next to Qiao Sixiao’s car, there was also a Mercedes-Benz V260 parked there.

As soon as Qin Wei saw the license plate number, her heart skipped a beat.

The car door opened, and He Hong looked at Qiao Sixiao with a solemn expression:

"Get in the car."

It was her after all!

Thinking that this was her own mother, she certainly wouldn’t do anything to her, so Qin Wei patted her shoulder and whispered to her: "Assistant Wang will take me back to the crew... Ms. Qiao, take care...”

"Ms. Qin Wei, you come along too," said He Hong.

After He Hong spoke, she softened her tone and added:

"Thanks for the trouble."

Sensing not a hint of room for discussion, and seeing that some reporters still hadn't left and were still taking pictures, Qin Wei steeled herself and got into the car.

With the car door closed, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was even more oppressive.

"Are your injuries serious, Ms. Qin Wei?"

It was still up to He Hong to break the silence. Her tone was calm and showed no sign of concern.

"It's fine, it won't affect filming."

Qin Wei answered. She knew this TV series had investment from He Hong, and that she was a profit-seeking capitalist. This answer should be in line with her expectations.

He Hong chuckled:

"But Su Yang might need to rest for a few days. He took a hard blow on his back. He's still lying in the hospital right now. Little Ms. Qin Wei, Su Yang is obedient and well-behaved, a boy I saw potential in. I was counting on him to inherit the company in the future and take care of my daughter.

He has a clean heart and never takes people to bad places. I hope Ms. Qin Wei will go easy on him and stay away from the boy..."

"It's up to you who you want to give your company to. I said I don't need him to take care of me. Also, he's a grown man. If he has half a brain, he can judge people and events for himself."

Qiao Sixiao took off her mask and sunglasses and said to He Hong while looking at her:

"She is an artist under Anxing Entertainment, not your child or subordinate. You should not talk about her like that!"

At this point, He Hong's face had become quite ugly. Ignoring that Qin Wei was still present, she scolded her daughter directly:

"I didn't raise you to argue with me! Think about what you two have been up to recently?

Yelling at Guo Yuyang on set—you think I don't know about that?

Su Yang getting into a fight in the parking lot—you thought you could hide that from me?

And this last time, the reason it didn't leak is because I went through a lot of trouble to cover it up!

Qiao Sixiao, have both you and Su Yang lost your minds? Have you both been so bewitched by her good looks that you'd give up everything? I just feel that my best artists have been led astray by her. If it wasn't for her, would you and Su Yang have rebelled to this extent??"

Qin Wei: "????"

Qiao Sixiao was also furious. She immediately answered with a "Yes!" "That's bullshit!"

Qin Wei covered her mouth while saying to He Hong at the same time:

"Ms. He, I understand your feelings. Because of everything that's happened these last two days, I've also been very upset. But there are some truths we still need to talk about. Su Yang fighting, Qiao Sixiao yelling—those are results. Who provoked them in the first place? That's cause.

I heard that Redian, Shengsi, and Huoyu Studios invested in a new drama series. It passed approval a couple days ago and covered the same historical period as ours. I wonder if you knew..."

He Hong looked towards her assistant, who swiftly looked it up online. After some time, the assistant said:

"Madam He, it's true. But they're filming at the film and TV city in Jiangnan. They didn't even have an opening ceremony, keeping everything extremely low-key without any announcements. If Ms. Qin hadn't brought it up, I would have overlooked it even after making deliberate inquiries through my connections."

He Hong had been groping her way through this industry for many years. She immediately understood what yesterday's fight was all about.

As long as profits outweigh costs, predatory behavior will occur.

Smearing reputations and throwing dirt are tactics. So are hiring people to obstruct, sabotage, and even inflict bodily harm.

The nature is no different.

"So the police contacted Li Yao this morning, so I also have a general understanding. The two who were caught sabotaging props claimed they were sent by Brother Feng to get back at me.

The first two people encountered last night targeted Su Yang. They didn't know the other eight people who came later, and those eight also claimed Brother Feng ordered them and paid them to tail and assault us. It's not cheap to have people tailed and beaten up. Although they haven't caught this Brother Feng yet, there's something you need to know—Brother Feng has debts."

Would someone who normally takes petty advantages and owes a pile of debts really spend that much just to save face? Even if so, where did he get the money?

He Hong's expression was icy:

"Obstructing shooting over here while also probably rushing deadlines over there, wanting to finish filming and release it first? Profit clouded their judgment so they would make an enemy even of me?"

To capital, if there is 50% profit, it will take risks;

For 100% profit it will dare to trample all earthly laws;

For 300% profit it will dare to commit any crime, even risk the gallows.

If an invested TV series becomes a hit, the copyright fees, advertising fees, and subsequent derived benefits would be enough for some people to do irrational things.

When timing and conditions allow, everyone wants to do evil.

"So, what I mean is..."

Seeing He Hong's expression soften a bit, Qin Wei began explaining:

"I'm also the victim here. We have the same enemy. As for your family affairs, I have no intention of intervening between your daughter and son-in..."

"Qiao Sixiao why are you biting people?!!!!"
