168: Chapter 168 Stubborn to the end

Hearing Lin Xiao's inner voice, Fourth Sister's brows furrowed even deeper.

So it really was that person after all!

She remembered that this staff member was called Old Liu by everyone; he was steady in his work and seemed quite honest.

She didn't know what kind of lucrative reward the Jin family had promised him to make him so persistent in achieving his goal!

However, now that she knew who the culprit was, things had finally started to make sense.

Fourth Sister called her assistant over and asked her to look for the paparazzi in the vicinity.

She wanted to ask if anyone had captured any photos related to the wire props from last night until just now.

After the first round of questioning, no one had captured anything.

After all, these paparazzi were there to photograph stars; who would have nothing better to do than to photograph props?

Just as Fourth Sister was at her wit's end, Lin Xiao's inner voice came again.

"One of the paparazzi is lying!"

"He secretly placed hidden cameras inside the Film Crew. The kind that records twenty-four hours non-stop, with super long battery life!"

"The location is just right to capture a portion of the prop department's situation."

There was such a thing?

Fourth Sister was stunned, and hope immediately welled up in her heart.

In order not to let Lin Xiao suspect anything, she just called the assistant over again.

"Go tell those paparazzi that whoever provides a clue will get a reward of 500,000! They can remain anonymous, and we won't pursue this further in the future."

"Alright."

Although the assistant was a bit confused, she still went to do as she was told.

According to Fourth Sister's understanding of these paparazzi.

They spent their days running around after stars, enduring wind and sun, all just to earn a little more money.

If they could easily get a sum of money, surely no one would be unmoved.

Moreover, a mere 500,000 was nothing to The Lin Family.

It was well worth it to spend that to buy a clue!

Sure enough, within ten minutes, Fourth Sister's phone received a text message from an unknown number.

"Boss, I have a clue. Do you really pay?"

"Rest assured, I always keep my word."

"Good, then I hope you keep your word."

"..."

Fourth Sister looked at the video received on her phone, and she understood.

It was indeed just as Lin Xiao's inner voice had said; this was a video recorded from a very tricky hidden angle.

The image was very clear, and one could even hear the sound.

It clearly recorded the entire process of the staff member, Old Liu, tampering with the wire props!

Fourth Sister did not go back on her word and immediately asked her assistant to contact this number and send the money.

Furthermore, she did not pursue this person's secret filming behavior, only sending someone to find the location of this hidden camera and remove it.

Then, she called Old Liu and told him to come over.

About an hour later, Old Liu arrived slowly.

On the surface, there was nothing unusual about him; perhaps it was because he was certain that no one would find out what he had done.

Fourth Sister couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush with him and went straight to the point: "Old Liu, what are you doing at the Film Crew today? Didn't they say you had nothing to do here today?"

"I didn't!"

Old Liu subconsciously denied it.

But his eyes were darting around, and he clearly looked guilty.

Fourth Sister waved her hand casually and chuckled, "Heh, Old Liu, out of respect for you being an old employee here, I don't want to take things too far."

Old Liu clenched his hands, seemingly even more panicked.

But perhaps he still firmly believed that his actions had not been seen by anyone, so he continued to deny it: "Boss Lin, I don't know what you are talking about. I have been doing the work you arranged all day, I have never..."

However, before he could finish, Fourth Sister took out the video directly.

Looking at the familiar figure on the screen, the rest of Old Liu's words were stuck in his throat.

The look of shock in his eyes was about to overflow: "This, how is this possible? This isn't me. No, I didn't come to the Film Crew today, it's not me!"

As he spoke, he subconsciously retreated slowly.

Lin Xiao blocked him from behind and whispered: "Old Liu, I remember my sister has no grudge against you, right?"

Old Liu, as if reminded, nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I have no grudge against Miss Lin Ran, why would I want to harm her? This person is definitely not me!"

Seeing that Old Liu hadn't grasped the main point, Lin Xiao said directly: "You misunderstood me. I said you have no grudge against my sister, so I want to ask you, who exactly ordered you to do this?"

Old Liu opened his mouth, but still shook his head: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Fine, fine, fine. My sister just said that out of respect for you being an old employee, she didn't want to take things too far. Since you refuse to shed tears until you see the coffin, then we'll just handle it officially."

Lin Xiao had actually thought of this long ago.

The Jin family's power was so great that buying or even threatening someone to help them do things was a very simple matter.

Perhaps Old Liu really had some dirt in their hands, which was why he was so stubborn.

But these things had nothing to do with him; dealing with whoever it was first was all the same.

It could also be considered as killing the chicken to scare the monkey!

Old Liu still wanted to quibble, but when he saw the police, he was scared to his knees.

"If you are unwilling to say more to us, then go to the police station and explain it slowly."

Fourth Sister took one last cold look at Old Liu and left without looking back.

Very soon, with the solid evidence, the police took Old Liu away.

With such a serious incident happening at the filming location, the Film Crew felt very guilty.

The director even personally brought other relevant staff members to apologize, proposing to give compensation to Lin Ran, and hoping that Lin Ran could continue filming.

In fact, The Lin Family were all reasonable, and they all knew that this incident had nothing to do with the Film Crew.

It was purely a conflict between the Jin family or Lin Yu and The Lin Family.

Even if they were not at the Film Crew, they would still come to make trouble.

Therefore, Fourth Sister and Lin Ran did not make things too difficult for the Film Crew, only asking them to strengthen security in the future.

Of course, they also accepted the Film Crew's compensation.

Lin Xiao suddenly leaned over: "I saved someone, is there a reward?"

"Ah?"

At this question, the director was immediately dumbfounded.

In the director's view, Lin Xiao appearing in time to save his sister should be considered an internal matter of The Lin Family.

But on second thought, Lin Xiao had indeed helped the Film Crew solve a huge problem.

If there was no gesture of appreciation, it really didn't seem right.

But he currently really hadn't prepared any more compensation; what should he do?
