After Xu Weilai weighed the pros and cons, felt that it would be beneficial for her to investigate the matter so that she could include more details in her news article to attract readers. Otherwise, she would have wasted the lead.

Since she wanted to end her work in China as soon as possible, she couldn’t afford to be picky.

“Okay, I’ll look into this,” she agreed.

Su Ziqian heaved out a great sigh of relief and said, “Thank you for being willing to help me. Thank you…”

“I’m not helping you. We’re just making use of each other,” Xu Weilai clarified out of reluctance to accept her gratitude. Without further ado, she dived straight to the point and instructed, “Calm yourself down and tell me everything that had happened in detail.”

“Okay!”

Xu Weilai placed her cellphone down on the table before she tapped on the loudspeaker and the voice recorder in her phone. She then said, “You could begin!”

Su Ziqian coughed twice to clear her throat and began to explain clearly, “Before I shot to fame, I worked as an extra on set and was a substitute for Hu Kexin. She had always felt that I was prettier than her and thus, she often bullied me openly and in private out of jealousy. Subsequently, I met Yu who made me famous. I was given anything that I wanted and I surpassed her in status. I obviously returned her with her own coin since she had bullied me back then. As our styles were similar, we often competed for the same resources and she became increasingly resentful towards me because of how I’ve been oppressing her all along.”

“After I was blacklisted, I couldn’t receive any job offers and had to live on my savings every single day. As I was used to spending big bucks, I soon ran out of money and had to find a way to make ends meet At this critical juncture, a production crew contacted me for a role as the fifth female side character. As I was not in the position to be picky about my role, I accepted it as long as it allowed me to earn some money. But after I joined the production team, I realised that Hu Kexin was the female lead of the drama and she was the one who requested for me to play this character.”

Su Ziqian snorted coldly and resumed, “Of course she couldn’t possibly be so kind as to help me out. She merely wanted to use the opportunity to vent her resentment and displeasure towards me. I’ve been holding myself back all along and tried my best to avoid getting into a conflict with her no matter how she treated me. It had always been my intention to leave after the filming ended, but she simply refused to let me off the hook. That night, she asked to meet me in the script room to run through the script together. After going through a few lines, it was my turn to say to Hu Kexin that I wanted to kill her. But the moment she heard this, she suddenly began to slap me like crazy.”

“As I really couldn’t take it anymore, I yanked her hair and shoved her away. That was the only thing that I did and I stomped out of the room afterwards. Although she fell to the ground and hit her head after I pushed her, she was still conscious when I left. I swear that she was. In fact, she even wanted to get up and chase after me to give me a good beating. That was why I left the scene quickly!”

“I don’t know why but by night time, it was announced on the news that Hu Kexin had died. The police told me that her head had been smashed open and she died from excessive bleeding. There were some witnesses who claimed to have heard our argument in the lounge. They heard me say that I wanted to kill Hu Kexin and thus, they testified that I was the murderer.”

“However, we were in the script room all along, so I have no idea why those people would claim that we were in the lounge. Besides, I was reading the lines in the script but the police insisted that this line was never in the script. They also found the fingerprints that I had left behind on Hu Kexin’s body during our tussle and thus, they felt certain that I am the murderer. I’m really innocent. You have to believe me, I did not kill her!”
