192: Disgraced

Xia Ruoyun was already eating distractedly. After the message she sent received no response, she sighed helplessly.

"It seems like you don't have the heart to stay here anymore. Hurry back and rest."

Su Yue was more interested in what was happening online. He also wanted to take advantage of this free time to check on Liu Meili's situation.

Liu Meili was quite capable; even with this kind of video exposed, she could still distance herself from it.

To completely bring her to justice, other methods would be needed. Su Yue was also pondering in his heart how exactly to solve this problem.

At this moment, at the filming site, countless reporters surrounded them.

These reporters had originally come to inquire after hearing rumors. When they learned that Liu Meili was filming on this set, they naturally chased after her without hesitation, wanting to find out the specifics of the situation.

"What's the situation with this matter? Did you really abuse your assistant?"

"They all say the video from the surveillance is artificially synthesized. Is this true or false? Why does it not feel like a fake video to me? Do you have any explanation for this?"

"Could you please ask your current assistant to come out and speak? Netizens are very eager to hear your assistant's thoughts."

The reporters' microphones were almost blocking Liu Meili's mouth. She still wore heavy makeup, and her heart was extremely angry, even with a hint of panic.

These reporters were really annoying. When she was incredibly popular, they actively came to interview her, even saying all sorts of good things, wanting her to cooperate with them. Now that something suddenly happened, they immediately turned their backs on her. Truly shameless.

"Dear reporter friends, my studio has already clarified that the video is fake. Regarding the assistant's death, I also feel very regretful and pained, but these are not the facts. I also hope that those with malicious intentions will not slander and spread rumors about me behind my back."

Liu Meili looked pitiful, as if she had suffered some immense injustice.

The reporters were all half-believing and half-doubting. Many reporters were currently live-streaming, planning to synchronize everything through live broadcast.

Therefore, all of Liu Meili's actions were clearly seen by netizens online. Currently, black scale disease is rampant, and many are staying in the hospital. With nothing else to do, they naturally spend time online.

Online, there were plenty of people who enjoyed watching the drama unfold, but there were also some who claimed to be experts making comments.

"I am a professional face reader. Based on my experience, this woman is absolutely a complete bad person and will soon be exposed. Argue with me if you disagree."

"Under every celebrity's Weibo, there are those fortune tellers chattering. If you can really see so accurately, why don't you read your own fortunes?"

"I think Liu Meili was likely framed by someone. She has been so popular recently, and she even gained some resources because of the assistant's matter, so I think someone is probably jealous."

"Meili, Meili, fly bravely, we fans will always follow!"

"Speechless. Can fans please not manipulate comments at a time like this?"

All sorts of comments scrolled frantically. Su Yue sat on his hospital bed, watching this scene indifferently.

Exposing the truth wasn't difficult. This could also be considered Xia Ruoyun's stepping stone to joining him.

In his heart, he was even thinking about what his next step should be.

However, Liu Meili became somewhat impatient with the comments from these haters.

Although she had always been the third female lead before, because her performance was unremarkable, no one paid attention to her at all.

Let alone anyone actively trying to slander her. So, being thin-skinned, Liu Meili couldn't stand it anymore and directly ran to the criminal police team to report the crime.

"Hello, Police Officer. I need to report a crime now!"

Liu Meili directly decided to report the matter to Police.

"Someone said I killed my assistant. I hope you can investigate and clear my name!"

However, the person on duty today happened to be Liang Yuzhu.

She had been busy all day and was already exhausted. She didn't expect someone to suddenly come to report a crime.

Generally speaking, their criminal police team does not handle external cases directly but waits for various police stations to report different cases.

But if someone came to report a crime, they naturally couldn't refuse. So, Liang Yuzhu took out the interrogation record and wanted to communicate with the other party.

"May I ask what the matter is?"

The live broadcast just stopped here because filming for external purposes is not allowed in such an important place.

After seeing the recording stop, Liu Meili no longer had her previous pitiful and feigned strong appearance; instead, she showed a look of disdain.

"You don't even know who I am?" She looked Liang Yuzhu up and down. This person was quite pretty, but pretty women were a sin in her eyes.

"Should I know you?"

Liang Yuzhu was also a bit confused, feeling that this woman's mind didn't seem normal. Ordinary people wouldn't say such things.

"Don't you even watch the news?" Liu Meili's mouth twitched. She had originally thought she could show off in front of this woman, but who would have thought the other person didn't even know her name.

"I am Liu Meili, who has been causing a stir online recently. This time, someone made a fake video to frame me. I've come to report it and hope you can start an investigation."

After understanding the other party's purpose, Liang Yuzhu sighed helplessly.

"I'm really sorry, but this matter is not handled by us. If you need to contact Police for help, you can go to a police station."

Liang Yuzhu wasn't lying. They did want to handle it, but they simply didn't have the authority, so everyone was quite helpless.

However, Liang Yuzhu also had high professional ethics. She didn't say much else but instead directly explained where the other person should go.

"When you go out, turn left. There is a police station there where you can report the crime, and they will handle this matter for you."

Liu Meili couldn't help but roll her eyes. How was she supposed to know all this useless information? Didn't she just come to Police station that looked bigger?

What criminal police team or not? She was just an ordinary person. How could she care about all this?

"Can't you just help me solve the problem directly?"

After she finished speaking, Liang Yuzhu nodded patiently.

"I'm sorry, but this is not within our scope of handling."

She was the Captain of the criminal police team and shouldn't have to be on duty according to protocol. However, there were so many cases today that all the team members were busy with their own matters. So, out of necessity, she came out to cover the shift. Unexpectedly, she encountered someone with a problematic mind again, which was truly a headache.

Liang Yuzhu usually didn't have any time to watch TV or follow entertainment news. Just the black scale disease alone was bothering them enough.

"I have already told you how to solve this problem. Therefore, shouting at me here is useless. If you really want to report a crime, then I suggest you go to Police station next door right now."

Liu Meili stomped her foot fiercely and turned directly to walk outside.

Since this was a sacred and serious place, the reporters didn't follow in. Instead, they waited at the entrance, holding their cameras.

"She's out, she's out!"

"How is she so fast? Has she already finished handling the matter?"

"There should be a police report receipt, right? Let Liu Meili take out the receipt later so we can take a look. Then we'll know if it's real or fake."

The moment Liu Meili walked out, everyone surrounded her.

"Did Police accept the case?"

"Can you show us Police report receipt?"

"Did Police say anything to you?"

Hearing the reporters' words, Liu Meili felt extremely annoyed, but in the end, she hid all her emotions and put on a very pitiful look.

"I did want to report the crime, but I don't know why these people simply wouldn't accept it!"

"This is truly a strange matter. I just wanted to report a crime, and even that isn't allowed?"

Liu Meili's words attracted everyone's attention. They were all somewhat shocked. How could this be?

"It's true. If you don't believe me, you can go inside and ask the woman on duty. She really didn't want to accept my report!"

"Forget it. I've already suffered injustice for such a long time. What does it matter if my reputation is ruined? I'm already used to this kind of life."

Saying this, Liu Meili even shed tears, looking quite pitiful and wronged.

After Liu Meili turned around and left, a reporter couldn't contain his curiosity and went over to ask a question.

"Hello, I'd like to ask, did that woman just now come to report a crime?"

The reporter was very polite, and Liang Yuzhu couldn't find any fault, so she responded.

"That's right, that case is not handled by us here."

After getting the answer he wanted, the reporter left directly.

If it were someone else, they would likely report this matter truthfully. But this particular reporter had some dirty dealings with Liu Meili.

He also knew how to edit the news to make Liu Meili completely explode in popularity.

So he directly edited the secretly filmed video of this interview and posted it online along with the footage of Liu Meili crying.

Even if it's infamous popularity, isn't that still a way to become popular? What's more, what does it matter if the whole internet hates her now? They naturally have ways to whitewash her.

Because it was just after work hours, everyone had nothing to do and was scrolling through Weibo and looking at the news.

And the matter concerning Liu Meili happened to be the hot topic of the past two days, so everyone became interested.

This is a video, and it contains the content edited by the unscrupulous reporter.

In this video, Liang Yuzhu instantly became someone who lacked quality and was unwilling to fulfill her duties.

And the reporter knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't emphasize in this video that it was because Liu Meili went to the wrong place. Instead, he directly steered the narrative towards Liang Yuzhu.

Many uninformed people thought it was all true. They were cursing and complaining, wanting to stand up for Liu Meili.

"There's no justice! There's really no justice in this world! How could it be like this!"

"If no one is willing to accept a celebrity reporting a crime, then what about us ordinary people? I seem to be able to feel Liu Meili's despair at that time!"

"A woman was originally wronged, and now she has to swallow her pride and face all this. Just thinking about it feels suffocating! I support Liu Meili defending her rights! She should not only find trouble with the person who posted the fake video but also hold this woman accountable!"

"That's right, they all say women help women, but all I see is bad malice!"

"Actually, I think this woman is quite pretty, much prettier than Liu Meili..."

"What does it matter if she's pretty? Doesn't that just prove even more that the other party has a vicious heart?"

There were various opinions about these matters online, but most people were unceremoniously cursing Liang Yuzhu.

Coupled with someone deliberately setting the narrative, this matter wouldn't be resolved so easily.

Criminal Police Team.

Liang Yuzhu was handling the case at hand, analyzing the upcoming case details in detail.

But she didn't expect her subordinates to suddenly run over in a panic, shouting that something bad had happened.

"It's bad, it's bad! Don't look at the case here anymore, you're being cyberbullied!"

The person who ran over to report the news was almost out of breath from exhaustion. They were originally outside investigating information but didn't expect to suddenly hear people talking about these things, so they opened their phones to take a look.

It was better not to look. Once they did, they were truly almost scared to death. How could their own Captain Liang suddenly be humiliated like this online?

Liang Yuzhu also didn't know what was going on, so she curiously opened her phone, clicked on Weibo, and took a look. The next moment, her expression became somewhat intriguing.

"I said why this woman looked so familiar. Turns out she really is a celebrity."

Liang Yuzhu indeed didn't watch much TV, so she couldn't name this celebrity.

But what difference does it make if she's a celebrity? She couldn't just inexplicably pull strings for someone and agree to let her report the case here.

"This matter has already blown up online. It's estimated that the leader will come to ask you about the situation in a while. You should be prepared. Anyway, we all believe in you!"

People in their line of work are easily framed, so there are all sorts of surveillance cameras everywhere.

It was obvious that this video was edited, making it incredibly fake. They could completely take out the real video to slap these people in the face.

"What should we do? Should we post these original videos online? We absolutely cannot let this celebrity use our people as pawns!"
