Chapter 590: I Could Finally Leave (2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Ziqian was innocent and was merely a scapegoat. Hu Kexin’s assistant was the real murderer.

After Hu Kexin’s assistant committed the crime, she tore off the ‘Script Room’ label and replaced it and the ‘Lounge’ label which she had printed out in the same font.

Xu Weilai would only have to tear off the current ‘Lounge’ label to check if there were any tear marks left behind from the original ‘Script Room’ label in order to prove if her speculation was right.

The reason why Xu Weilai would suspect Hu Kexin’s assistant was because Xu Weilai saw the surveillance footage of her sneaking into the printing room and heading towards the script room after she came out.

Xu Weilai had also verified with Hu Kexin’s manager, who admitted that she had acted under Hu Kexin’s orders. As they intended to humiliate Su Ziqian, they gave her the script and asked her to run through it with Hu Kexin. Hu Kexin’s assistant was the one who printed the script.

Lastly, Hu Kexin’s assistant was the only one who heard their argument. It was possible of her to enter the room after Su Ziqian left and use the opportunity to push Hu Kexin again. After Hu Kexin hit her head for the second time, she slipped into a coma and subsequently died from excessive bleeding.

Her assistant’s motive to kill was because she had suffered from Hu Kexin’s physical and verbal abuse for a long time. For the sake of keeping her job, she could not stand up against Hu Kexin. However, Hu Kexin only became increasingly worse and thus, she held a grudge and kept a lookout for an opportunity to take revenge. As Su Ziqian and Hu Kexin’s argument presented her with the perfect opportunity to take action and make someone else her scapegoat, she took it and had her sweet revenge.

Unfortunately, justice has long arms.

Everyone was certain that Su Ziqian was the murderer but the evidence that Xu Weilai found was irrefutable. Hu Kexin’s assistant was subsequently arrested by the police and after a round of interrogation, she caved in and confessed her crimes.

Su Ziqian managed to prove her innocence while Xu Weilai successfully drew attention to the newly established Z Magazine branch in China and helped it to top the trending search list.

After reporting to her boss, he asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to continue to develop your career in China? I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that you’ve established a foothold in the Chinese media industry now and it’s very likely that you’ll become an established member of the Chinese media in future.”

In this world where public opinion dictated the rules of the game, becoming an established media personnel would open doors to brighter career prospects and this was a goal that every journalist strived for.

Xu Weilai certainly found it a pity.

During Xu Weilai’s stay in China, she had written numerous sensational news and carved a name for herself. If she were to head abroad now, she would have to start from scratch again.

Despite this, she was still reluctant to remain in China.

Time could heal wounds but space was also important. She wasn’t confident that she could forget Gu Yu if she kept running into him and the people related to him and to see news and reports about him from time to time.

Xu Weilai replied, “I’m not afraid to start all over again. As the saying goes, the cream always rises to the top.”

She was always confident about everything apart from matters related to Gu Yu.

After ten minutes, her boss replied, “In that case, I’ll arrange for a new editor to replace you. He’ll be there in two days. You could transfer back after you attend the branch office’s ribbon-cutting ceremony with him.”

The ribbon-cutting ceremony would take place in three days time and after that, she was free to leave the Capital.

She had been emotionally tensed for nearly half a month and could finally leave now.
