Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Master Wen, when everyone was resting last night, our cameras were removed. We didn’t continue filming, so we don’t know what exactly happened, but I can guarantee that no one in our production team would do such a thing!” the director promised repeatedly.
Wen w.a.n.g said angrily, “Then what should I do now? I have to go on stage tonight!”
“Could you get a different violin?”
“A different violin? You make it sound so easy!” Wen w.a.n.g was so angry that he kicked the chair over. How much glory would it be for him to get this opportunity to go on stage? How much glory would it be to bring Tanata to the stage?
A different violin?
The filming of the show was still going on and the director was also going crazy.
The concert was about to begin.
Now that the outside world knew about this matter, there was fervent discussion.
Within a short period of time, there were several trending searches.
The audience also turned into detectives and came to investigate the case. Many people rewatched the live broadcast carefully, not missing a single shot, just to find some clues.
The program’s viewers.h.i.+p soared. However, the director did not want such popularity.
Wen w.a.n.g was relentless. Since everyone was going to the concert venue, the director wanted to solve the problem on the way.
Everyone got into the nanny van for the concert. The live broadcast was temporarily cut off at this moment and replaced with the unused footage recorded by the cameraman.
In the car, the atmosphere was tense.
Shen Xinghe tugged at s.h.i.+ Jin’s sleeve. “Sis, what happened?”
“I don’t know.” s.h.i.+ Jin shook her head. She realized that they had stopped the livestream.
The director was also in the car, but the cameramen were not.
Something unexpected must have happened.
“It’s like this, everyone. I don’t know who broke Master Wen’s violin strings, but I’d like to interrogate everyone. Of course, I’ll also interrogate all the staff members,” the director said cautiously. “I’ll just delay everyone for a while.”
Lin Yao asked, “Which violin?”
“Tanata.” There was no smile on Wen w.a.n.g’s face. It was extremely dark.
Everyone gasped.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin felt both regretful and sad. “How could that be?”
The director continued to investigate, but Wen w.a.n.g asked first, “I only have one question. Where were you all last night?”
Everyone could understand why he was so anxious. They did not blame him for being rude.
Lin Yao was the first to speak. “I was sleeping in my room, and I didn’t come out at all. As you know, I’m the furthest away from the room where the violin is kept, so I can’t go there. If I want to go there, I have to pa.s.s by all of your rooms.”
That was true.
Xia Peifeng said, “I had insomnia last night and had been compiling my songs. Halfway through, I even video-chatted with my manager for about two to three hours to discuss my new song. After that, I’ve been testing my voice. I’ve recorded all the demos. I’ve recorded everything on my Weibo account.”
s.h.i.+ Xuexin also said, “I was sleeping. Also I really like Tanata. I wouldn’t do anything to it. Master Wen can testify.”
“Xuexin wouldn’t do such a thing,” Wen w.a.n.g said immediately.
Shen Xinghe stuttered, “I-I-I didn’t go out last night. There was a cameraman who slept in the same room as me. He can testify that I was there the whole time.”
The director asked curiously, “Someone was sleeping with you?”
“He said that the people in the same room were snoring too loudly and wanted to sleep somewhere else. He asked if I was okay and I agreed.”
Among this group of people, Shen Xinghe had the least arrogance and was also the most ordinary. Therefore, many staff members did not treat him as a celebrity.
Hearing his words, everyone believed it.
He continued, “Besides, I’m not familiar with the violin. I don’t know anything about strings. Why would I do that? And touching that won’t do me any good. I wouldn’t have done it.”
Everyone felt that Shen Xinghe was honest and would not do such a thing. Moreover, Shen Xinghe had a good personality. Everything was written on his face, how could he do this?
s.h.i.+ Xuexin could not help, but secretly pinch her palms. d.a.m.n it, she did not expect a cameraman to have stayed with Shen Xinghe. This way, Shen Xinghe’s suspicion was mostly cleared.
She had never planned this.
s.h.i.+ Jin was the only one left. She raised her eyes and looked at s.h.i.+ Xuexin lazily before saying slowly, “I was asleep. I don’t know anything.”
Wen w.a.n.g looked at s.h.i.+ Jin suspiciously. “s.h.i.+ Jin, is it you?”
Shen Xinghe immediately said, “It can’t be s.h.i.+ Jin. What good would it do her?”
“She doesn’t know how to play the violin, but she looks down on it. She treated it coldly before. Who knows if she ruined my violin out of jealousy?” Wen w.a.n.g spoke without thinking. His words didn’t match his status.
He also knew that he should not jump to conclusions. However, no matter what, he could not calm down after encountering such a situation. He was already on the verge of exploding.
The director quickly tried to smooth things over.
Wen w.a.n.g snorted and said, “s.h.i.+ Jin is the biggest suspect now. Why don’t you let her make it clear? Speaking of which, s.h.i.+ Jin had a lot of objections from the start of the recording. I want to know if it’s because I’m biased towards s.h.i.+ Xuexin that triggered s.h.i.+ Jin’s dark thoughts?”
“Master Wen, you must have a basis for your words. Otherwise, you can’t bear the responsibility!” s.h.i.+ Jin looked up and stopped him coldly.
At that moment, Wen w.a.n.g was indeed frightened by s.h.i.+ Jin’s gaze. This was the first time he saw ruthlessness and determination in this young lady’s eyes.
Fear arose in his heart, but a moment later, his anger suppressed his fear. Why should he be afraid of a little girl?
He said angrily, “s.h.i.+ Jin, everyone else can clearly explain what they were doing. You are the only one who can’t say anything. You are the only one who has such thoughts. I don’t think I am wronging you!”
“Master Wen, I don’t think s.h.i.+ Jin would do such a thing. She just has something against me. She wouldn’t have anything against you.” s.h.i.+ Xuexin immediately came to mediate.
Initially, she wanted to frame Shen Xinghe. She didn’t expect things to suddenly change, so she aimed towards s.h.i.+ Jin.
That was good too. s.h.i.+ Xuexin wanted to see how s.h.i.+ Jin would resolve this problem. However, Shen Xinghe’s side still needed to be dealt with.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s words were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. Wen w.a.n.g became even angrier. “Why should she have anything against you? Is it a mistake to have talent? She’s just a fake daughter of the s.h.i.+ family. What right does she have to have anything against you?”
Everyone fell silent at those words.
