Chapter 1980: Chapter 83: Sounding East and Striking West
No Yan Xiaoxi?
Got the wrong place!
Zhao Yiran turned around to leave.
Huo Bei looked at her back and snapped, "Stop."
Zhao Yiran, "..."
Was she stupid?
She’d literally had someone pry open someone else’s door lock.
Huo Bei looked at her back. "There’s a camera at my door. You’re Zhao Yiran, right?"
That one sentence was enough to freeze her in place.
Zhao Yiran turned back to look at Huo Bei. "You... how do you know me?"
Huo Bei didn’t answer.
Staring at him, Zhao Yiran suddenly felt her luck was rotten—she’d been recognized even with a mask on!
"Say it, what compensation do you want? Whatever you want, I can give it to you."
Huo Bei’s voice was icy. "No need."
Zhao Yiran glanced at him, saw he didn’t look like he was lying, and was about to leave when she suddenly heard Huo Bei’s voice: "I’ve already called security and the police. Someone will be here soon to deal with this."
Hearing that, Zhao Yiran snapped angrily, "You!"
She glanced into the room and called Yan Xiaoxi.
Very soon, the call connected.
"Yan Xiaoxi, you’re in the room, right? Get your ass out here."
Because of a knee injury, Yan Xiaoxi had been ordered to rest and wasn’t doing daily training. She was watching practice on the side when she heard Zhao Yiran’s voice. Her tone was gentle. "Not at all, I’m in the room. Zhao Yiran, long time no see. Even from this far I can see your skin doesn’t look as dewy as before. Haven’t been to the spa in a while? Or are you too anxious at night worrying your boyfriend is cheating?"
Zhao Yiran was shaking with rage, "..."
Yan Xiaoxi: "Showing up here at the crack of dawn to catch a cheater, that’s hard work. But speaking of which, I really should thank you for stealing Lu Yi, so I could end up with an almost perfect boyfriend."
It took Zhao Yiran a long time to get a word out. "Sorry, but your idea of perfect is not quite the same as mine."
Yan Xiaoxi: "Yeah, it’s not the same. In my eyes, Lu Yi’s trash. In your eyes, he’s so perfect."
That one line left Zhao Yiran speechless. No wonder she used to be an entertainment reporter—sharp tongue indeed!
Yan Xiaoxi: "Anything else, Your Majesty the Best Actress?"
Zhao Yiran was just about to speak when she saw the security guards coming up from the elevator.
Huo Bei stood there, looked at the security guard, pointed at the lock, then at Zhao Yiran. "She pried my door open for no reason."
The security guards took Zhao Yiran away to assist with the investigation.
Huo Bei followed behind to keep an eye on things.
Not long after, the police arrived as well—to collect evidence, take statements, and fingerprint her.
The whole process was on camera. Zhao Yiran couldn’t say a thing and was taken away just like that.
Watching her back, Huo Bei said, "Miss Zhao Yiran, breaking into a private residence with violent means—wait for the lawyer’s letter when you get back."
In her heart, Zhao Yiran hated Yan Xiaoxi to death. If not for her, how would Lu Yi have disappeared for days, and how would she have ended up here prying open someone’s door!
Standing at the gate of the complex, Huo Bei watched her being put into the police car, then picked up his phone and posted on Weibo, @Hong Kong Mayor.
Jin Bo saw it, then reposted and @Hong Kong Public Security Bureau, adding that as a public figure, a celebrity should be even more mindful of their influence.
The Public Security Bureau didn’t dare treat it lightly.
Besides, the case was extremely simple to begin with, and it was cleared up in no time.
Zhao Yiran was sentenced to three months of detention.
Even though the Zhao Family did everything they could to smooth things over, it still ended up in the papers.
The first news about Zhao Yiran that Yan Xiaoxi saw in the newspaper was her detention. Not only was it all over the major entertainment media, even mainstream news sites were scrambling to report it.
"Best Actress Zhao Yiran breaks into private residence with violent means, now under arrest."
