Chapter 476: Nonsense
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
s.h.i.+ Xuexin said pitifully, “s.h.i.+ Jin, you are protecting Shen Xinghe on purpose just because you have a good relations.h.i.+p with him. You have to think about it. If Shen Xinghe had been more daring this time, I would have been the one who got hurt. s.h.i.+ Jin, I hope this has nothing to do with you.”
Her words even implicated s.h.i.+ Jin.
s.h.i.+ Jin was so angry that she laughed. She said, “Alright, if you want to go in, be my guest. However, I hope you won’t regret it!”
When Boss Xiang heard her words, he indeed hesitated for a second. However, it was only for a split second. He immediately said, “Bring Shen Xinghe here!”
It looked like he was going to beat Shen Xinghe up himself.
Even if Shen Xinghe did not die, he would lose half his life. And after being beaten up by Boss Xiang, he could forget about staying in the capital anymore.
Shen Xinghe was quickly brought over. It was obvious how arrogant Boss Xiang was.
Shen Xinghe’s face was full of innocence. When he saw Boss Xiang, he instinctively retreated in fear. “I didn’t…”
Boss Xiang’s steps were heavy as he walked towards Shen Xinghe. Every step was like a wild beast hunting its prey. It was frightening.
“Wait!” The lawyer rushed over.
s.h.i.+ Jin raised her eyebrows indifferently and looked in that direction. She did not continue to stall for time because she had predicted that the lawyer would arrive soon.
Boss Xiang stopped in his tracks.
The lawyer ran to his destination and took out the doc.u.ment he had retrieved. He handed it to s.h.i.+ Jin. “Miss s.h.i.+, we have the evidence. This is evidence that Shen Xinghe would never harm the a.s.sistant.”
“Let Boss Xiang take a look.” s.h.i.+ Jin didn’t take it.
Although the lawyer did not know Boss Xiang, he followed s.h.i.+ Jin’s line of sight and could easily tell who was Boss Xiang. He immediately pa.s.sed the information to Boss Xiang.
Boss Xiang did not take it. “Read it.”
The lawyer quickly summarized, “It’s like this, Shen Xinghe performed a circ.u.mcision surgery at the First Hospital a week ago. This is the surgery report we obtained. Also, he hasn’t removed the st.i.tches yet. He was planning to go over for the st.i.tches removal surgery after filming this scene. He has an appointment with the doctor. Also, after he came over just now, there were already doctors from the police station who checked on his body. There were no signs of his st.i.tches rupturing or his wounds rupturing. That means, up until now, he hasn’t made any movies in that aspect. It’s even more ridiculous to think that he’s trying to harm women.”
All the reports in the lawyer’s hands were covered with red stamps.
This was what he told s.h.i.+ Jin before, because he had just received a test report from the police.
When Shen Xinghe heard the lawyer’s read the report and saw that s.h.i.+ Jin knew about his situation, his face flushed red with embarra.s.sment.
Boss Xiang’s face darkened. As a man, he knew better than women what this meant.
If Shen Xinghe really had ulterior motives towards any woman, then he really did not want to live the rest of his life happily. The st.i.tches would have busted long ago.
It turned out that he wasn’t lying. So that means the a.s.sistant must have lied.
The a.s.sistant came back to her senses and looked at the boss. She was frightened and helpless. “No, I didn’t malign him… I really didn’t…”
However, in front of the hard evidence, her words were useless now.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin raised her hand and gave her a slap. “How could you do that? To think that I even stopped filming and came to seek justice for you!”
The a.s.sistant was stunned. Clearly, she did not expect s.h.i.+ Xuexin to be the first to fall out with her. She met s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s eyes and a flash of dissatisfaction flashed across her eyes. However, she seemed to have thought of something and did not fall out with s.h.i.+ Xuexin. Instead, she cried and said, “I… I didn’t do it on purpose. I saw Shen Xinghe over there, and I thought he was up to something. That’s why I went up to fight him…”

Everyone looked at her speechlessly.
Shen Xinghe couldn’t help saying, “So this is all your imagination. I was just saying that I didn’t do anything, so why did you come over and beat me up? You really have harmed a lot of people!”
“Mr. Shen, you can hold her responsible for defamation,” the lawyer suggested.
Boss Xiang could not be bothered with this farce and left with a livid face.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin hurriedly chased after him. “Boss Xiang!”
***
s.h.i.+ Jin and Shen Xinghe walked out of the police station. As for the a.s.sistant, the lawyer would handle it.
“Sis, thank you so much. If not for your lawyer’s presence, I would have been in deep trouble today. If I had been beaten up…”
At this point, Shen Xinghe was stumped again. It was not a wise move to say all of this in front of s.h.i.+ Jin. However, he was right. If Boss Xiang or his men beat him up and the st.i.tches got busted, he would be unable to clear his name.
Fortunately, everything s.h.i.+ Jin did stopped the tragedy in time.
“Go back to the set and explain everything.”
Shen Xinghe nodded immediately.
When they arrived at the set and saw Shen Xinghe, everyone was surprised.
Initially, the stage supervisor wanted to find someone to replace him…
Shen Xinghe cupped his hands at everyone and said, “The police have already investigated clearly. This has nothing to do with me. It was that a.s.sistant who framed me. Now, she has been charged with defamation, and I have been declared innocent.”
Everyone was shocked, especially the female staff who had been whispering about Shen Xinghe earlier. Their faces were filled with shame.
“I was mistaken, Xinghe, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. How could my a.s.sistant frame someone like this?” s.h.i.+ Xuexin saw that the matter could not be erased, so she had no choice but to respond.
“You think a mere ‘I was mistaken’ will be enough?” s.h.i.+ Jin looked at her coldly.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin looked embarra.s.sed. “I really didn’t know…”
“If you didn’t know, why were you so proactive in defending your a.s.sistant and casually accusing others?” s.h.i.+ Jin said calmly, “Now, shouldn’t you formally apologize?”
s.h.i.+ Xuexin clenched her fists and looked reluctant. She had already lost a personal a.s.sistant, and now she had to apologize to Shen Xinghe in public! She really couldn’t get over it.
“What? Is it difficult?”
Everyone looked at s.h.i.+ Xuexin.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin had no choice, but to walk to Shen Xinghe and say, “I’m sorry, Shen Xinghe. I shouldn’t have slandered you so casually. I didn’t investigate thoroughly before saying that you did such a thing.”
She was, after all, one of the two female leads of this movie, yet she had to apologize to Shen Xinghe in such a humble manner. One could imagine how furious she was.
It was all s.h.i.+ Jin’s fault!
