Chapter 141: Cover-up
When Ji Xincheng and Tang Tang followed the guidance of the head nurse and signed a document outside the emergency room for a while, and finally the head nurse said that the situation inside was getting better and there would probably be no more documents to sign, the two of them were in a cold sweat and sat down on the chair.
couldn't help but tremble, Tang Tang had no choice but to hold Ji Xincheng's hands tightly and cheer each other on, "It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay!" ”
By the time they reacted, there was no Ji Xinran around them.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have called her!" Ji Xincheng blamed himself.
Tang Tang comforted her: "It has nothing to do with you, Ji Xinran has a premeditated plan, if she doesn't come to the hospital today, she will come tomorrow." ”
"How could she be like this, how dare she...... If she waited for Song Qi to wake up, just to harm him, then why did she wait so long before? Ji Xincheng was puzzled.
"Probably didn't talk to Song Qi?"
Ji Xincheng closed her eyes and restrained herself from trembling, she couldn't imagine that Ji Xinran, who grew up under the same roof as her, how could she dare to kill someone? That feeling made Ji Xincheng feel terrible from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, the lights in the emergency room dimmed, and the two hurriedly got up and listened to the doctor, "Fortunately, I finally survived!" ”
Ji Xincheng's eyes were red, and he hugged Tang Tang tightly.
The two followed the medical staff to send Song Qi back to the ward, Song Qi had not woken up yet, Ji Xincheng stared at the pillow that Ji Xinran threw in the corner and decided to call the police.
The police soon sent someone over.
It was actually Xie Lei, who had helped Gu Shaoze find Ji Xincheng before, Tang Tang had met him and stepped forward to greet him.
Recognizing the two of them, Xie Lei immediately contacted the bureau to apply for a search and pursuit warrant, and on the one hand, he asked people to go to Ji's house to squat, and as soon as the documents were in place, he immediately entered the house to arrest people.
"Thank you, Officer Xie!" Ji Xincheng thanked him.
"Don't worry, until the suspect is caught, I'll have two colleagues on duty here."
Ji Xincheng nodded, when she linked the word 'suspect' with Ji Xinran, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes again, she hated why Ji Xinran was so uncompetitive, and even more hated how she could be so ruthless, that was the man she loved before and was about to get married, how could she do it......
The police left after taking notes, and it didn't take long for two plainclothes policemen to stand guard outside the door.
It was getting late, Ji Xincheng sat numbly on the sofa in the private ward, and the first call to come in was Ji Rong.
His voice was panicked, and he asked Ji Xincheng, "What's the matter, Xincheng, the police came to our house and said that they wanted to arrest your sister, saying that you called the police, what did she do?" ”
It seems that Xie Lei and the others have obtained the relevant documents and entered the Ji family.
Ji Xincheng said truthfully to Ji Rong, "Ji Xinran was in the hospital, trying to murder Song Qi, she used a pillow to cover Song Qi who had just woken up until she was suffocated, if it wasn't for me and Tang Tang to arrive in time,...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”
"That is, that means people are not dead, are they?"
"Luckily, I was rescued."
"This girl, this girl is just impulsive! Xin Cheng, since the person is not dead, can you withdraw the charges with the police, ah? That's your sister, she's still young and ignorant......"
In Ji Rong's voice, the ruthlessness revealed made Ji Xincheng's heart suddenly ignite, but she still endured it and interrupted Ji Rong, "Dad, this is an attempted murder, if we arrive five minutes late, now Ji Xinran will be a proper murderer!" ”
"In this way, I will personally go to the hospital to make amends to Song Qi, what conditions does he propose, as long as we can do it, we will satisfy him, okay?"
"Dad, do you think this is a matter that can be solved by negotiating conditions?"
"Xincheng, Xinran is not sensible, can you give her a chance?"
Ji Rong's unconditional protection of Ji Xinran made Ji Xincheng feel uncomfortable, she took a deep breath, and then spoke out again after a while: "Dad, four years ago, I had a car accident on the mountain, was it because I didn't die, so you think that what Ji Xinran made was just a small mistake, so you just hid it from me like that, making me feel guilty about my friends for so many years!" ”
"Xincheng ,......" Ji Rong said, only silent.
Ji Xincheng was disappointed, "Dad, it's not that I haven't given you a chance, Ji Xinran is like this, and you are like this, except for yourself in your hearts, the personnel next to you probably don't matter, right?" Including me. As far as you are concerned, everything can be solved by negotiating terms, and your own lives are precious, aren't they? ”
"Xincheng, that's your only sister."
"I'm also her only sister, has she ever been kind to me?"
"Xincheng, what happened back then ......"
Ji Xincheng couldn't listen to his perfunctory anymore, and interrupted him, "Needless to say, Dad, Ji Xinran is no longer a child, she deserves to be punished for her mistakes, if you still plan to persuade me, don't call again." ”
She ended the call, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Tang Tang walked over and put his hand on her shoulder.
Ji Xincheng cried quietly for a while, and when he heard the sound of Song Qi waking up, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and wiped away his tears, and walked towards the hospital bed.
"Why are you here?" Song Qi asked with a pale face.
"Do you know what's going on?" Tang Tang asked.
Song Qi's eyes drooped, and he said gloomily, "I know everything." ”
Ji Xincheng and Tang Tang sat in front of the bed again, and Tang Tang took the lead in asking Song Qi, "Song Qi, what's going on?" If you're still a friend to us, don't hide it from us. ”
Song Qi didn't move for a while, and Ji Xincheng said apologetically, "You must be very tired now, why don't you rest first and talk about it tomorrow?" ”
"It's okay, I'm feeling fine." Song Qi said.
He didn't hesitate this time, "Four years ago, your car had an accident on the mountain, it was caused by Ji Xinran finding someone to manipulate the brakes, she saw that the other party signed a waiver, and the waiver is now in my hand, I persuaded her to turn herself in, she promised well, but I didn't expect ......"
Tang Tang and Ji Xincheng couldn't bear to see Song Qi's disappointment, frowning and waiting for him to continue.
"This time Ji Xinran also did it, that day she suddenly asked me to go to that remote community, she may want to give me a little punishment, I believe she caused me to be seriously injured and comatose because of her mistakes, I don't blame her for this, I just hope she can take her own responsibility for what happened four years ago, Xincheng, you shouldn't bear so much for her, and Shang Xuan shouldn't ...... either"
He was very weak, and when he said this, he couldn't even answer for a while.
Ji Xincheng could understand his feelings, and every time she thought that Shang Xuan was suffering like that for no reason, she felt that it was difficult to breathe.
"It turns out that you have known for a long time that it was Ji Xinran's problem, only I know in the end, right?" Tang Tang said suddenly, there was sarcasm in her expression, as if they treated her as an outsider and deliberately hid it from her.
Ji Xincheng immediately said, "I was suffering from the lack of evidence at the time, and Song Qi also learned about it recently, right?" ”
"Yes, I have always been suspicious before, but I only recently found the master of the car dealership who signed the waiver letter."
Tang Tang's face turned slightly pale, and he asked the two, "Then what are you going to do next?" Is that exoneration letter handed over to the police? ”
"I'll hand it over to you, you, as the victims of the incident back then, deserve to be dealt with by you." Song Qi said, "I selfishly hope that she can turn herself in, only then will it be truly beneficial to her." ”
Tang Tang's eyes fell on Ji Xincheng's face, and the latter also said, "I'm not my father, I won't shield her." ”
Tang Tang exhaled and said her opinion, "Song Qi, you are also responsible for what happened back then." ”
Sensing what she was going to say, Ji Xincheng immediately interrupted Tang Tang, "Song Qi just woke up, you rest first, Tang Tang and I will come to see you tomorrow." ”
Song Qi glanced at Ji Xincheng, then at Tang Tang, and finally nodded, obviously he also thought that Ji Xinran's willfulness was inseparable from him, he had been with Ji Xinran for so long, if he had the determination, he should try to improve her temper, but he couldn't do it, it was his fault.
He didn't know that the meaning of Tang Tang's words was not simple.
Pulled out by Ji Xincheng, Tang Tang said, "Why don't you let me say it?" ”
"It's already happened, there's no point in asking about it, he's a patient now, and we're considerate of him."
"In this matter, although Ji Xinran was completely wrong, do you think that if it wasn't for Song Qi's cheating, Ji Xinran would have impulsively done such a thing?"
In this regard, Ji Xincheng had nothing to say.
The two did not speak again, and left the hospital in silence all the way.
Next.
Tang Tang officially returned to work in the studio, and the first phone call made her angry, "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me as soon as possible?" He stacked the contract that was being confirmed by the legal department and threw it on Ji Xincheng's desk, looking unkind.
Early in the morning, Ji Xincheng had just arrived at the studio, and it was not clear which one she was referring to.
picked up the contract and looked at it carefully, it turned out to be a few contracts that had been negotiated before, because of Ji Xincheng's kidnapping incident a few days ago, he has now proposed to terminate the contract, and Ji Xincheng is required to pay the corresponding liquidated damages.
Knowing what Tang Tang was angry about, Ji Xincheng was a little unreasonable, got up and flattered her, "It's not that you are still in your hometown, it is simply a paradise, it is rare for you to go back for two days and have a good rest, I can't take this ......"
"No more nonsense!" Tang Tang didn't eat this set, "In addition to these, is there anything that has already gone through the process?" ”
Ji Xincheng lowered his head lightly, and said with a weak heart, "There are also those that do not require us to pay liquidated damages, and those will be dealt with relatively quickly." ”
"Ji Xincheng, do you have any brains!"
Tang Tang was angry, "This is a false report, we can completely use legal channels to make those rumor-mongers unable to eat and walk around, why should we pay for them?" Yes? There are also these contracts, they are the ones who propose to terminate the contract, and they are the ones who should compensate us for liquidated damages! The way you look like this is clearly telling the other party that you have confirmed the untrue remarks of netizens, which not only loses money but also does not benefit your reputation at all, do you still want to be mixed in this circle? ”
"I know, you go out of breath first!"
Ji Xincheng served tea to Tang Tang, and his attitude was very sincere, "Listen to me!" It is time-consuming and labor-intensive through legal means, in this incident, there are people who believe in my innocence, there are people who don't believe me, and those who don't believe me, even if we win the lawsuit through legal means, they may not take it seriously, so I didn't let Gu Shaoze withdraw this hot search. Moreover, when our studio opened, we received so many films at once, the amount was too much, I carefully analyzed it, and in the end, what was lost in this way would only be our reputation, I was still in a hurry to ask them to terminate the contract, but now it's good, this hot search is like a litmus test, and we actually don't trust enough partners to try out, although we lost some money. I think we just started, and we were in a bit of a hurry to take over the play, and the studio route should still go fine, not in the quantity, not in the role, we only need to be high-quality, even if the amount is a little less, think about it, don't you? ”
Listening to Ji Xincheng's words, let's not talk about whether her approach was right or not, just the fact that she was not wronged made Tang Tang angry a lot, and threw himself on the sofa, Tang Tang was still a little unwilling, "That kind of grandson loves to make things up when he has nothing to do, if I am here, how can I not let them get away with it so much!" ”
"In fact, we have to look at this matter objectively, before we don't have a professional public relations team, it is impossible to make efforts to clarify every time we are slandered, how worthless it is, isn't it? In the future, when we have a little achievement, wouldn't it be more important to settle back the previous accounts one by one? ”
"Yes, Ji Xincheng, Gu Shaoze said this to you, right?"
"Hey, you don't believe me that much?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, just your magnanimous temperament, I'm afraid that I will be sold and count the money to others, and I will worry about other people's previous accounts, which is rare!"
"What do you mean, you can't look down on me?"
Although the two brought the matter over in laughter, it was somewhat of a challenge to the studio's opening, and the staff were a little depressed after losing so many customers.
Ji Xincheng felt that this was not a solution, so he took the initiative to contact the directors and producers he knew.
Tang Tang was not idle, and almost re-swiped all the resources accumulated in his hands over the years.
But after many people learned about Ji Xincheng's recent black-edged news, they all had the intention of avoiding it, which made Tang Tang also discouraged.
Just when Ji Xincheng was full of apologies to his colleagues and partners and began to doubt his decision, Qiu Shang called and said straight to the point, "Shen Fu plans to make a movie by himself, and he is not very sure about it for the first time, he himself does not dare to contact you, for fear that you will be embarrassed, but I think this is an opportunity for your current situation, you might as well gamble." ”
Qiu Shang's personality, coupled with Ji Xincheng's understanding of him, knew that he was not a casual person, so he immediately agreed, "You help me make an appointment with Shen as a screenwriter, the sooner the better!" ”
