Chapter 325 - Send Everyone To Hell (1)
The stylist wished that the earth could devour her in whole at that very instance. She didn't think of the consequences she would face if she was found out. Initially, she thought that there was no way Tang Liyan's group would be able to pinpoint her as the culprit, as she was confident that her coworkers would have her back, that they wouldn't sell her out.
Unfortunately, she didn't anticipate that Bluemedia had come prepared themselves and Su Xiaofei would be the one who would deal with the problem on hand and not Tang Liyan. How was she supposed to know that Su Xiaofei had such a trick up her sleeve? She didn't think it was possible for the group to turn the table against them.
"I didn't do it on purpose… I…" She desperately tried to think of a way to save herself, but nothing came up. Her eyes looked at her coworkers, begging for their help, but it seemed like they didn't want to get involved with her any longer since she was caught red-handed.
"Didn't do it on purpose?" Su Xiaofei laughed, her expression darkened. "You mean to tell us that you created such a mess and stole Miss Tang's belongings just because you happened to do it? Just what did Tang Liyan do to you to warrant such actions?" She added in a deep, threatening voice.
The woman looked down in fear, aware that Su Xiaofei was staring at her like a predator ready to pounce for the kill. Her eyes turned red, but she was too afraid to cry in front of everyone.
"Since we found who the culprit is, Miss Su, Miss Tang, what do you plan to do now?" One of the police officers asked the two women. The development of this case had surely been surprising to everyone.
Su Xiaofei crossed her arms over her chest and stared at the stylist, then to the second woman who she had no doubt was involved in this scheme.
"Of course we would sue her for damages and possible criminal mischief, officer. Who knows, maybe she has a history of doing this to other celebrities." Su Xiaofei replied, without batting an eyelid.
The stylist panicked and suddenly grabbed her friend, shaking her arm. Her accomplice's face turned ashen as she realized what was happening.
"Senior! You said that no one would catch me. You assured me that nothing would happen to me." She cried hysterically as she revealed another person's involvement with her.
"W-what are you talking about?! Don't say such nonsense!" The second woman exclaimed, much to Su Xiaofei's amusement.
"Hmm? Thinking about it, I think I saw the two of you talking to each other during the photoshoot." Su Xiaofei tapped her chin with her forefinger.
"You are right, Miss." Zhang Ling interjected before pointing to the culprit's accomplice. "She also walked in front of us and went out of the vicinity."
As she said this, the police officers reviewed the security footage of the hotel and saw that the accomplice had left the venue of the photoshoot around the time that fits Su Xiaofei and Zhang Ling's narrative.
"Miss, can you explain how your friend is involved with this?" The police officer questioned the stylist.
"I owed her something." The stylist hiccuped in between her tears. "She said that if I do what she said, we are even and I won't have to pay my debt to her. She assured me that everything is clear and no one would be able to catch me doing it."
This was certainly a clear confession, admitting to the crime she committed against Tang Liyan.
The head of security of the hotel shook his head in disappointment, thinking that showbiz truly wasn't all rainbows as everyone thought it would be. Tang Liyan had already achieved the status of a queen, and yet even she wasn't spared from someone's schemes. One must know how to survive to be able to stay longer in this industry.
"What a sudden turn of events." Zhang Ling commented, but she was impressed by how their miss managed to trick everyone to think that Tang Liyan was defenseless all this time.
"It's alright. I believe with these officers' help, we will be able to get to the bottom of this, so we can file the necessary charges against those who were involved. Let's leave the investigation to them." Su Xiaofei spoke with confidence, leaving the two stylists in a state of panic.
She could see fear washing through them, but Su Xiaofei didn't pity them at all. If anything, they deserved all of this. Above all, they were only sorry right now because they were caught and not because they regretted what they did.
The two women realized that they were fucked up this time, and Su Xiaofei was serious about sending them behind bars, effectively ruining their lives and careers.
They tried to turn to the rest of the crew for help but it was glaringly obvious that they were distancing themselves and throwing the two of them under the bus to save themselves.
The culprit cried and fell on her knees. She clasped her hands together, begging Su Xiaofei not to file charges against her.
Su Xiaofei hardened her resolve and shook her head. Unlike those popular female leads, she didn't have a magnanimous heart that could forgive another person in a heartbeat. It wasn't like these two deserved to be forgiven after what they'd done today anyway.
"Oh, please! We both know why you did it." She gave the woman a pointed look, as if she could see what the other woman had in her mind.
The woman shivered under Su Xiaofei's cold, piercing gaze. She realized that no matter how hard she begged for forgiveness, Su Xiaofei wouldn't let her off the hook. Because of this, she turned her attention to Tang Liyan, who had been silent throughout the ordeal.
"Miss Tang! Please forgive me for this once! I know my mistakes now.. Please spare me and give me another chance. I-I cannot lose my job!"
