Chapter 424: Luo Cong’s Statement
Han Xu looked at Mo Li. From what Han Xu knew of Mo Li, the girl would not ignore Song Xin’s provocation. Mo Li would do anything to prove that she was better than Song Xin, it was why he was certain Mo Li would choose to work with him.
When Nie Li and Han Xu turned to Mo Li, the latter started to applaud. She was very impressed by Song Xin. “As expected of the best actor, her acting skill is amazing. CEO Han, you should use her as your female lead.” Nie Li and Han Xu did not expect Mo Li to say these words. Nie Li was shocked that her own artist would surrender without a fight. She was angry.
However, Nie Li was also angry at Han Xu. She didn’t expect the man to stoop so low to give the script to both Song Xin and Mo Li. This was a great promotion and it would draw public eyes to the competition between the two potential female leads. Before this, Tang Ze had chosen Mo Li and now Han Xu appeared to have chosen Song Xin. There was nothing more that could drive attention than a drama like this.
“You are not interested in this IP?” Han Xu was honestly surprised. He was confident in his script. In fact, he was certain that the actor who played Yu Xiu would win Best Female Actor. However, Mo Li did not seem that interested at all.
“I am but this role should go to Miss Song Xin. Her acting is impeccable. I don’t think I will be able to play the role better than her.” Mo Li knew her limits. Her acting skill was not as good as Song Xin’s. However, Mo Li also knew that Song Xin was an experienced actor, with some time and effort, Mo Li could reach the same level but her focus was not on acting.
With both Nie Li and Han Xu watching in shock, Mo Li stood up and sauntered out of the office. Even though Mo Li had no idea what Han Xu was vying for, Mo Li knew it was not anything good, so she decided to walk away.
…
The streets were quiet at night. Ah Ao drove Mo Li home. As they passed by the hospital where Luo Cong was being treated, both of them fell silent.
…
In the ward, Luo Cong appeared still dazed. The officers came to question him but he couldn’t give any straight answer. “Do you still believe someone was trying to harm you? Then can you give us details on the day of the car accident?”
Luo Cong sat up in bed. He had not spoken for a long time already. The day of the car accident was his nightmare, he really did not want to think about it for the rest of his life. However, he felt the accident must have something to do with Lu Ke. That day, Luo Cong wanted to have his mother release the recording but then he stopped her. After all, he still had one more trump card, and it was Mo Li! If he threatened them with the engagement, Luo Cong believed he could at least gain some profit from the Mo Family!
“That day, the brakes of my car broke down. I could not stop the car. And then a car came out of nowhere to bump into me… I didn’t know what happened next…”
The police officers sighed because they had heard the same statement many times already. Earlier they suspected Luo Cong was rambling because he was a drug addict. But the toxicology scan proved that he was clean. Now, they suspected the man had been possessed.
“Officers, you have to save me! I am not lying. Someone was trying to kill me and they might come back to finish the job… You have to trust me!”
The two officers didn’t know what to say. According to Luo Cong, the person who wanted to kill him was Lu Ke. However, Lu Ke refused to cooperate at all. She gave the police nothing.
The young officer was worried that Luo Cong had injured his head in the accident.
Luo Cong’s mother was crying sadly. The officers had checked her son’s blood. Luo Cong was indeed driving under influence that night so everything that he said now would sound like an excuse. It was natural that the officers did not believe him.
The two officers asked some more questions and asked for the details of this black car that tried to kill Luo Cong. The answers they got were unclear. The police walked away with the impression that the kid’s brain was still muddled.
After they returned to the station, the traffic police pulled out the surveillance from the night of the car accident.
There were not that many cameras near the location of the car accident. The cameras on the bridge were not working too. The content recorded by the single working camera contradicted Luo Cong’s statement. The black car did show up on the camera but unlike Luo Cong said, it was Luo Cong’s car who rammed into the black car, trying to derail the other party and not the other way round.
