Dauntless caught up to Feng Huai and Gong Sun as soon as the deadline was reached. The two were actually standing close to their headquarters. That's why one of the employees who was about to go home saw them and quickly took a picture of the two standing near the Imperial Academy.
It was purely coincidence that the head chief of their department was also tasked to look for Gong Sun's whereabouts once the deadline was over. He saw his junior's chat in their department's chat group and quickly headed over to where Gong Sun was seen standing. He didn't forget to bring the police that was already called for their arrest. Naturally, the arrest warrant was not forgotten.
It was just that Feng Huai should have been a complete bystander. Dauntless had only known about him recently and they were unclear of his involvement with Gong Sun. However, when he started running, Gong Sun grabbed him and told the police officers that he was an accomplice.
That was why Feng Huai, who could have avoided being thrown to one of the cells in the police station due to his unclear involvement in the case, was unable to escape and dragged along with Gong Sun.
Zhao Fei had previously thought that the two men's arrest was all due to Ran Xueyi reporting them, but she was mistaken. Dauntless had given Gong Sun enough time to settle.
It was around 3 in the morning when the police officers were able to settle down the crowd in the area. There were some people who wanted to continue to argue, but it wasn't as chaotic as the first time that she had arrived.
A police officer also called them and told them that it was okay to meet with Feng Huai and Gong Sun. Zhao Fei and Feng Yue quickly went over to the cell where they were being kept temporarily.
But as soon as the two women saw the two men they came here for, they were extremely shocked. The two had some bruises and cuts on their faces as if someone had beaten them up. Zhao Fei had an urge to complain to the police officers and ask them who did this to them, but before she could ask anything, the police officer told them that no one did it to them, but themselves.
As it turns out, as soon as the two were thrown to the cell, Feng Huai lost his temper because he was dragged into the station. Gong Sun had called him his accomplice and thus, he was also handcuffed and made to take a trip to the police station for further questioning.
But Gong Sun was not one who would take blows after blows with patience. He fought back and the situation spiraled and Feng Huai was beaten up by him until his head was the size of a watermelon.
"You two..." Zhao Fei did not know what to say right now. She wanted to comfort them by telling them that she was there to hold them. But seeing their stupid faces that looked like pigs, the words could only stay at the tip of her tongue.
The desire to go home and lock her room before sleeping the whole day entered her mind.
However, before she could really consider this, Feng Huai's eyes had locked in on her and he dragged his battered body to the steel bars of the cell.
"Sister Fei!" Feng Huai happily smiled at her. "Are you here for me? Sister Fei, please help me, okay? I was momentarily blinded and really didn't want to do this."
"It's alright, it's alright, Xiao Feng. I'm indeed here to help you. But can you tell what happened first?" Zhao Fei asked him.
She was still kept in the dark on how the whole process of Feng Huai's betrayal happened. The only thing she knew was what Ran Xueyi and Wu Qi told her. She was also there when Feng Huai stole the flash drive in Zhao Yiqing's studio. However, she wanted to hear his side and see what she could do to help him.
Feng Huai's eyes flashed when he heard this, "Sister Fei... Are you doubting me?"
Zhao Fei's purpose was obvious. She wanted to know the truth and find out his side of the story. However, if Feng Huai told her that he was not really influenced or coerced to cooperate with Gong Sun to betray Ran Xueyi and Chestnut, things might go bad for him.
However, there was only one problem...
Feng Huai glanced at Gong Sun, who was talking to his sister. His eyes subtly changed, but he was sure that Gong Sun caught his meaning.
Gong Sun could lie for him. In this way, the two could look for a way out for each other. Once Feng Huai received Zhao Fei's help and was relieved of his crimes, Feng Huai wouldn't let his sister's husband stay locked up in jail.
With all of these inside their minds, Gong Sun decided to help Feng Huai for once for the sake of their future.
Zhao Fei didn't know what they were thinking and listened to Feng Huai recounting the events that took place several months ago. He told her that it was Gong Sun and his sister who coerced him to betray Dauntless. He also told her that if he didn't cooperate with them, his parents would know about his sister's real identity as an orphan.
There was also an assistant manager under him who helped Gong Sun collect the personal data in the company. Initially, the two were the only people who were doing these things, and Feng Huai was only forced to be a part of the group.
With all these accounts, Feng Huai cleared himself of his crimes, making him look fragrant and clean.
Gong Sun didn't say anything when Feng Huai recounted his own version of the story. He couldn't stop mockingly smirking secretly when hearing Feng Huai deceive this woman named Zhao Fei.
Feng Yue wanted to scold her brother and tell him not to lie but her wrist was grabbed by her own husband until there was a line of bruise on her skin.
Once Zhao Fei was satisfied with Feng Huai's side of the story, the disdain she felt towards Ran Xueyi increased. Obviously, Ran Xueyi didn't investigate enough and convicted Feng Huai with crimes he involuntarily committed under coercion!
Just how pitiful and how much hurt did Feng Huai feel when he was wrongly accused of crimes he didn't voluntarily do!
Feng Huai was uncertain if Zhao Fei believed his lies and said, "Sister Fei, I know I did something wrong. But I was only forced because of my family situation. Can you... Can you ask Ran Xueyi to help me?"
Zhao Fei was still fuming in her thoughts when she heard this and couldn't help but frown. "That..."
Once she opened her lips, no words would come out of it. What could she tell him? That Ran Xueyi wouldn't give him her help at all? That she was also planning to trap him and make him pay for betraying her?
But once faced with the innocent face of Feng Huai, the truth that Ran Xueyi had now turned into their enemy was stuck in her throat.
...
Ran Xueyi was unaware that Feng Huai's character had upgraded into becoming a white-lotus. If she had seen for herself that he could pretend to be innocent and deceive others with his pure and gentle personality, she would have laughed her butt off.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the luxury to spare any of her time to deal with him at this moment. Director Daren was already fuming in the set because the female main and male main lead of the film still hasn't arrived.
They should have already arrived in the village after the Night Gala, but the two took a day off and told them that they have something else to do.
As the director of the film. Daren Wang has the right to say no and have them hurry back to the filming set. But who told him that the main investor was actually the male lead of his film?
That's right. Daren Wang finally found out that Song Yu Han was not just a mere actor raised by YH Group. But he was actually the chairman of the company and sole investor of the film!
The live broadcast of the All-Star Night Gala reached the filming set and everyone there found out that a golden dragon was walking amongst peasants.
How could they treat him normally now that they found out that Song Yu Han was not an ordinary actor?
When Ran Xueyi arrived together with Song Yu Han under the guise that since the two were on the same way and decided to go together, the two saw the people in the filming location were looking at them with strange looks in their eyes.
Most of the times when they caught them looking, they were whispering and the awe in their eyes could not be denied. It was more obvious when their eyes fell on Song Yu Han, Ran Xueyi observed.
After thinking about it, Ran Xueyi realized the reason behind it.
Ahem, it seems that her husband's vest was revealed.
