Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

"What do you mean, Miss Su?" One of the police officers asked Su Xiaofei.

"I mean what I said, Sir. Bluemedia takes the safety of our talents seriously, especially for Miss Tang. It isn't new that some would dare to harm her or set her up for something she didn't do, so as a precautionary measure, we at Bluemedia have a protocol to install security cameras in the dressing room of our talents. Of course, the only blind spot in this is where they change their clothes." She explained as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Are your talents aware that they are being recorded then?" She was questioned again.

"Of course, Officer. Upon signing with our company, our talents are aware that they are being recorded. This not only helps avoid commotions and fights among our talents, it also ensures that they aren't being harassed while doing their jobs. The sounds they make or conversations they have with others or phone calls aren't being recorded for privacy reasons, but yes, they are informed beforehand."

The police officers glanced at Tang Liyan, who nodded in affirmation to what Su Xiaofei had just said. This had started when a B-rated actress of Bluemedia was sexually harassed by a talent from another entertainment company.

Tang Liyan could remember seeing Su Xiaofei fuming with rage for the first time as she argued with the management on taking their talents' safety seriously. Since then, Bluemedia had offered some of their talents basic self-defense classes they could take and was reminded to not be left alone on their own unless they needed to.

It was obvious that Bluemedia couldn't provide each of their talents with security personnels to protect them, as only the top tier stars and celebrities like Tang Liyan were given such perks.

Thinking about it, Tang Liyan realized that she had made a grave mistake by declining to have someone to accompany her and Zhao Jingmei. If only she agreed to have her own bodyguard, perhaps they would be able to avoid troubles like this. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ꜰire

"If you have such security footage, why didn't you say so earlier? Did you really have to invite everyone here and trouble these honorable officers?" Liao Yang sneered at Su Xiaofei, but he was also aware that he had only dug his own grave.

"Eh? Is Mr. Liao expecting me to take things into my own hands? Do you expect me to give justice to Miss Tang and punish those who had sinned against her? In case you are forgetting, I'm also a private citizen. I requested their presence because of the seriousness and severity of this problem. Also, stealing is a crime, and it's only natural that police would get involved. I also said this earlier, what if this is just a start? I would rather nip the issue in the bud before it causes more trouble in the future."

Su Xiaofei's words implied that the whole production crew weren't on their side and wanted to bully her talent, which further angered Liao Yang. It doesn't take much for the head of security of the hotel and the police officers to realize that there was tension between her and Liao Yang, the photographer.

It made sense to them why Su Xiaofei insisted on their presence today. Not that they would approve of her taking things into her own hands, but given how serious the offense was, it would be proper if they could apprehend the culprit as soon as possible.

"What Miss Su did is right. Things could escalate quickly if they aren't dealt with properly." The police officer said, before turning his attention to Su Xiaofei. "Then Miss Su, would you be able to give us a copy of the footage for us to review?"

"Certainly, Officer. One of my assistants has secured the recordings. She should be here anytime soon."

As soon as she said these words, Zhang Lan appeared and handed the officers a flash drive containing the copy of the security footage inside Tang Liyan's tent.

The officers immediately reviewed the footage using the laptop they brought with them, with the head of security of the hotel looking over their shoulders to see for himself what happened. They fast-forwarded the recording to the time when Tang Liyan left her tent to start the photoshoot with Liao Yang.

In the video, it can be seen that after Tang Liyan left, Zhao Jingmei tidied up the table and hung Tang Liyan's clothes properly. Once she was done, she locked the drawer where Tang Liyan was keeping her bag and personal belongings before leaving the tent.

"Hmm, so it's impossible that Miss Zhao is the one who did it."

They fast forwarded the recording again until a figure, who wasn't part of Bluemedia's group, stepped inside the tent. The officer paused the recording and zoomed in the frame to get a clearer view of the person.

A collective gasp was heard once the face was enlarged on the screen. They turned their attention to one of the stylists of the crew, seeing how she had visibly paled upon being caught. She was one of the two women who Su Xiaofei spotted murmuring to each other earlier.

The play button was hit, and it was revealed how she wrecked the place and broke several things in the process. After that, she pulled out a small cutter from her pocket and started slashing the set of clothes Zhao Jingmei hung earlier. She then proceeded to forcibly open the drawer and took Tang Liyan's wallet and keys before leaving the tent stealthily as if she hadn't done something horrible.

"I can explain…" The stylist stuttered, not knowing how to defend herself. She hadn't anticipated that she would be caught.

"What is there to explain? From what I can see, you surely didn't regret what you've done." Su Xiaofei glared at her.. They must be really stupid if they thought that she would allow them to bully Tang Liyan with her around.
