Since no one was able to leave Tang Liyan's tent, everyone was feeling on edge, wondering what could happen to them after this. They glanced at each other with fear and worry apparent in their eyes. None of them were truly innocent anyway.
Most of them knew who was scheming against Tang Liyan and no one dared to intervene and stop it, making them the culprit's accomplice whether they liked it or not. Did Su Xiaofei know of this, so she insisted on finding the culprit using whatever means she could use?
They eyed Su Xiaofei and shared the same thoughts. There was no doubt that she was beautiful, but she was a witch! They couldn't think of any other word to describe Su Xiaofei but this. She was the kind of beauty that any man would covet, but was extremely conniving and scheming towards others.
It didn't take too long before the head of security of the hotel arrived with Zhang Ling. As the man looked at the scene of the crime, he frowned at the condition of the place. When Zhang Ling reported to him what had happened, he couldn't believe that someone managed to get past their security and caused a commotion in here.
"Miss Su, your assistant has explained to us about what transpired here. Rest assured that the hotel management would cooperate on your request with the authorities. We will provide the security recordings around the vicinity to find the culprit." He assured Su Xiaofei while the rest of the production crew remained silent.
"Thank you, Sir. It's reassuring to know that the management took our safety seriously." Su Xiaofei replied, as if she was mocking the rest of the crew. She wanted to laugh at how they looked right now. They weren't like this earlier, as they gave Tang Liyan a mocking smile behind her back.
Still, it was obvious that they would stick to each other and would cover up for the culprit, given how they were unwilling to step up and confess. If that was what they decided, then Su Xiaofei naturally wouldn't be forgiving this time. Not only did they want to humiliate Tang Liyan, they also wanted to implicate Zhao Jingmei and make her their scapegoat. How could Su Xiaofei allow them to do that under her watch?
Meanwhile, Zhang Ling handed a paper bag to Tang Liyan with a new set of clothes she could use to change. Even she and her elder sister were surprised by the sudden turn of events. Zhang Ling wondered if their miss was a clairvoyant or something, else how did she know that someone would scheme against Tang Liyan today?
"Thanks, Miss Zhang." Tang Liyan told her as she held the paper bag against her chest.
"Let's all step out and give Miss Tang some privacy to change, shall we?" Su Xiaofei's authoritative tone resounded within the tent. With all the crew members in here, the usually spacious tent provided for the actress felt very cramped at the moment.
The crew thought that they would be free once they stepped outside, but they didn't expect to be greeted by local police officers who had just arrived in time, looking for the person in charge of the photoshoot, which was Liao Yang.
Su Xiaofei was amused to see his face turning as white as paper seeing the arrival of the police officers, but then it blackened as he realized how serious this problem could be for him. She didn't care whether Liao Yang was aware of the others' scheme towards Tang Liyan or not, but since he owed her a great debt from her previous life, how could she leave him unscathed this time?
Was he living under a rock all these years, where he thought he was the center of the universe and where everyone must please him? How dare a person like him think that he was above those people he bullied in the past, including her?
Liao Yang didn't have a choice but to cooperate with the security personnel of the hotel and with the local authorities. The security footage around the vicinity were reviewed to see if there were any uninvited guests entering the venue of the photoshoot, which were none. This only raised the possibility that the person behind this mess was part of the crew.
"Is it really impossible for anyone to sneak in? Miss Tang is a popular celebrity anyway, and it wouldn't be surprising if there are paparazzis or stalkers wanting to get close to her." Liao Yang was visibly enraged. He didn't want to admit that Su Xiaofei's assumptions might turn out to be true in the first place. It would be a slap in his face if Su Xiaofei was right.
The head of security of the hotel shook his head.
"It's possible, but Mr. Liao, I'm confident in my people and I believe that our security footage doesn't lie. It is really impossible not to notice someone sneaking in." The man reasoned out.
Su Xiaofei nodded in agreement.
"Then would you think that it was an inside job then?" The corner of her lips curled into a devilish smile, sending cold shivers down the spine of those who plotted against Tang Liyan. Her words implied that she wouldn't let them off the hook so easily, keeping them on the edge.
The head of security looked uncomfortable, but the police officers remained calm.
"It's possible, Miss Su. We certainly cannot overlook that possibility." One of them replied.
"If that's the case, would it be alright if we review the security footage Bluemedia has set in Miss Tang's tent now?" Su Xiaofei suggested with a wicked smile, paying attention to everyone's reaction.
The two stylists who schemed against Tang Liyan felt themselves die inside upon hearing Su Xiaofei's suggestion. None of them thought that Bluemedia had prepared their own security measures for Tang Liyan that day.. They all thought that those men in black uniforms were Su Xiaofei's private bodyguards.
