229: Chapter 229 The Flood Washed Away the Dragon King's Temple

Zhang Xiaofu watched the few people busy with the investigation and looked at Lin Xiao.

"Brother Lin, why don't you come and help out?"

Zhang Xiaofu said with a sheepish look, "If we can't find the person, I won't be able to sleep!"

Lin Xiao curled his lip, "What does your inability to sleep have to do with me?"

"Look, if I can't sleep, won't I have to drag you into chatting endlessly? Then you won't be able to sleep either."

Zhang Xiaofu began his habitual unreasonable pestering.

Lin Xiao leaned back in his chair nonchalantly, looking completely impervious, "This kind of small matter should be cleared up very quickly."

Seeing Lin Xiao like this, Zhang Xiaofu couldn't help but have a headache.

If it were really that easy, the Film Crew wouldn't have been working overtime until now.

Just then, he suddenly heard Lin Xiao's inner voice.

[It's really such a tiny matter, isn't the suspect just a brainless fan of Song Xi's rival!]

[This kind of crappy situation shouldn't be rare in the entertainment industry, why is everyone acting like they've never seen it before, making such a fuss!]

...

Zhang Xiaofu was suddenly enlightened.

He grabbed a staff member in charge of the investigation and asked indirectly, "Did any non-staff members come into the lounge today?"

"There should have been, fans come to visit the set every day."

The staff member answered truthfully.

Zhang Xiaofu clapped his hands, "That's it!"

Looking at Song Xi's confused expression, he realized he seemed to have broken character a bit.

He hurriedly put on a cold and aloof expression again and asked indifferently, "Do you have any enemies?"

"Enemies?"

Song Xi frowned slightly.

She was just an actress, she never did anything atrocious or immoral, so where would she get enemies?

The agent on the side spoke up weakly, "What you want to say is, is it a rival?"

"Ahem, close enough."

Zhang Xiaofu touched his nose awkwardly.

A flash of disdain crossed the depths of Song Xi's eyes, "In this industry, whoever has even a little bit of fame, who doesn't have rivals?"

"Then who is your rival?"

Zhang Xiaofu asked hurriedly.

Song Xi curled her lip, "Heh, with my current fame, there are many rivals!"

Zhang Xiaofu was speechless, "Is now the time for you to show off? Hurry up and think, so the Film Crew's investigators can narrow down the direction."

"Oh."

Song Xi responded, leaned back on the sofa and started to ponder, "Although I have many rivals, there seems to be only one with a competitive relationship recently."

"Who?"

A flash of excitement crossed Zhang Xiaofu's eyes.

If that's the case, then the suspect should be found very quickly!

Song Xi's lips curled slightly, "Who else could it be? Lin Ran, of course!"

Zhang Xiaofu immediately slammed the table, "Good, good, good, it must be her! Don't worry, I will definitely help you get revenge!"

But soon, he seemed to realize something.

"Wait a minute, Lin Ran... why does this name sound a bit familiar?"

After saying that, he slowly looked at Lin Xiao.

He saw that Lin Xiao's expression was also a bit stiff, and he nodded slowly, "Mm, indeed, Lin Ran is my Fifth Sister, and that suspect might really be her brainless fan."

Zhang Xiaofu twitched his mouth, "Um, the harsh words I just said, can I take them back?"

"Then just take them back."

Lin Xiao didn't know what else to say.

This situation was really quite awkward.

Song Xi only just learned that Lin Xiao was actually Lin Ran's younger brother. Besides being surprised, she was also very awkward.

The three of them just stood there, silent in the awkward atmosphere.

At this moment, footsteps were heard at the door again.

Another involved party walked in.

"Uh, Sister? Why are you here?"

"I just heard you were here, so I came to take a look."

The person who came was none other than Lin Ran.

She had actually been resting next door the whole time, but suddenly heard Lin Xiao's inner voice.

Realizing that her brainless fan had caused trouble, she hurriedly came over to take a look.

She walked to Song Xi's side and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect the fans to be like this. I will post on Weibo later to keep them in check."

Song Xi was stunned; she didn't expect Lin Ran to be so direct.

Usually, when celebrities encounter such a situation, don't they usually try to shift the blame first?

Unless they are forced into a corner, they are rarely compelled to apologize.

"If you want to call the police, I don't mind. This kind of behavior by the fans is indeed excessive."

After Lin Ran finished speaking, she didn't wait for Song Xi's reaction.

She turned to look at Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "I just happened to buy a midnight snack, let's go, come eat with me."

Lin Xiao only then noticed that Lin Ran was carrying two bags of midnight snacks in her hands.

Lin Xiao looked at the bags, wanting to say something but hesitating.

When they arrived at the lounge on the other side with Lin Ran, he still couldn't help it, "Um, Sister, how about you don't eat this."

"I've been controlling my weight well these past few days, eating one meal occasionally doesn't matter."

A smile flashed across Lin Ran's delicate little face as she continued to unwrap the packaging.

Through the lunch box, she could smell the fragrance inside and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Lin Xiao waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. It's just that the spicy pork intestine in your midnight snack was swapped for the original flavor."

"Original flavor is fine, at least Fourth Sister won't scold me for eating chili again."

Lin Ran smiled nonchalantly.

She unwrapped the chopsticks and intended to put it directly into her mouth.

Lin Xiao was helpless, he grabbed Lin Ran's hand, "Sister, the original flavor I'm talking about isn't the one you're thinking of... I mean, the pork intestine you ordered, it still has poop in it!"

Lin Ran was stunned, looking at the pork intestine in the lunch box in surprise.

The chopsticks clattered to the floor.
