Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star

Chapter 161: Getting Arrested



Li Xiaoru, however, could not forgive them easily. She took out her phone, “No matter what, I’m recording this for evidence.”

After the video proof, Li Xiaoru still didn’t seem like she was ready to forgive anyone yet.

She said to Liu Man, “I’m going to make them pay.”

“They won’t admit, trust me. It’s never too late to take revenge; we only have to wait for the perfect opportunity,” Liu Man disagreed with Li Xiaoru’s impulsive thought and analyzed discreetly, “I just won’t believe Xu Zihan would suddenly become best friends with Wang Nina. There must be some relationship between them that involves benefits. Since Xu Zihan was willing to help Wang Nina do such an immoral thing despite the risk, she must need something from Wang Nina. Why don’t we first figure out what it is that she needs?”

Li Xiaoru calmed down, and at the same time, she was also confused, “What ability does Wang Nina have to help Xu Zihan?”

Xu Zihan, like the past Liu Man, was one of the worst students in the grade. Now, Liu Man was focusing a lot on her studies and catching up with everyone; however, Xu Zihan had the same old attitude. Xu Zihan was the 127th student on the grades leaderboard. There were only 131 students in the grade.

Liu Man said, “I remember the school made a new rule at the start of this year. At the end of the second semester for Sophomore students, they would kick out the ten worst students in the grade according to the leaderboard. With Xu Zihan’s previous grades, she would only be able to stay in this school if she becomes a top 80 this semester.”

“How can she possibly get in the top 80?” Li Xiaoru thought pigs would be flying when that happens.

Xu Zihan’s piano skills couldn’t even match the past Liu Man’s, and she was even worse than the past Liu Man in other aspects, too. Xu Zihan often skipped classes and was addicted to the internet. She was a live-streamer with very few fans, but she was still able to earn some allowance to buy bags and cosmetics from famous brands.

Soon, Li Xiaoru’s question got answered.

The most outstanding show in the afternoon concert today was “Memories of Florence”, performed by Wang Nina’s group or sextet.

Wang Nina was a top seven in the grade, after all, so her piano performing skills were very excellent. They attracted many applauding.

The curtains got pulled up, and after ten minutes, Zhu Xiyang walked on stage to announce the top ten groups in this ensemble concert.

Coming first was the piano and strings combined sextet, with Wang Nina and Xu Zihan in it.

Next came other groups.

Liu Man and Li Xiaoru’s names did not appear at all after all the top ten groups got announced.

Whispering and murmuring came from the audience off stage.

To be fair, these performances ranked top ten were also very excellent, but none of them were as impressive as Liu Man and Li Xiaoru’s “Butterfly Lovers.”

A fan of Hanfu Goddess’s, who sat in the front row, directly stood up and shouted at Zhu Xiyang, “Why isn’t Hanfu Goddess’s performance in top ten?”

Zhu Xiyang, with a smile on, said, “After discussing with the other judges and professors, we think their performance doesn’t count as a trio, and their performance was also quite different from what they described to us before. They did not follow the regulations. However, because these two students gave an outstanding performance, we still let them pass this assessment so they won’t fail this course.”

What he was indicating was he was already very generous to let Liu Man and Li Xiaoru pass. They want to get in the top ten? Don’t push your luck. If he had a bad mood, he would change their grades so they would fail!

Excluding the ranking, Zhu Xiyang did not announce the scores each team got. He claimed he would combine everyone’s usual scores in class and calculate the total grade at the end of the semester, during exams.

At the same time, Liu Man and Li Xiaoru naively thought they already did pretty well to pass the test, and they didn’t have to think about whether they got a good ranking.

Saturday morning. It was just eight o’clock, and Zhang Daqiang was in a deep sleep in his house at the capital when someone heavily knocked on his front.

At first, Zhang Daqiang thought he was still dreaming; however, the knocking got louder and louder, as if his door was going to fall off. He had to get off his bed, and he walked to the door, cursing,

“Who is it? It’s early in the morning, and you are knocking so hard on my door. Are you unscrupulous!”

It suddenly got silent out there.

Zhang Daqiang, who realized the strangeness, peeked through the door hole to see a line of police officers standing outside… They were antagonistically staring at the door hole, staring at him…

Zhang Daqiang was too scared; he peed his pants.

He wanted to escape from the window, but he lived on the 18th floor…

When the officers took him, he felt baffled. Even if he gossipped about the relationship between Tang Tu and the Hanfu Goddess, he only deserved to receive a few letters from lawyers. Was it enough to alarm the cops?

The police: You got sued for libel. Any defense?

Zhang Daqiang felt even more bewildered. When he exposed the other celebrities before, they didn’t dare to do anything to him. What did he step on this time? Why was he actually sued and punished?

Zhang Daqiang did get used to those silent and cowardly celebrities. How could he have known that there was a type of people he couldn’t afford to make an enemy of?

Tang Tu, who didn’t show up on either Thursday or Friday, came to the cast on Saturday afternoon. A group of police officers followed him…

Everyone froze.

The cast’s filming got completely interrupted.

Two officers came to Qiao Xin, who was still filming a few seconds ago, “Hello, comrade. We need you to cooperate with our investigation. Please follow us back to the bureau.”

Qiao Xin was stunned, and a hint of anxiety flashed through his eyes, “I’m just a normal actor who obeys the law and pays respect to his career. I’m a good man.”

Because he was feeling guilty and nervous, he started running out of words. He couldn’t help but look toward Tang Tu, who was looking at him indifferently from behind the cops. Qiao Xin pretended that he wasn’t afraid and said,

“Tang Tu, what are you doing, bringing over a few cops? Who are you trying to scare with this acting?”

“I’m intimidating you, of course,” Tang Tu said with a faint smile, “When you pried at my phone and took sneaky photos of my WeChat messages, didn’t you ever thought about the results?”

!!!

Everyone suddenly realized that it was Qiao Xin who sent the chat history between Tang Tu and Liu Man to Zhang Daqiang.

It was breaking news! Qiao Xin went way out of bounds!

Qiao Xin was a known actor in the entertainment circle after all, and he had been in this industry for over ten years. He was a second-tier, and if he fights for another few years, he would be guaranteed a spot in the first-tier. He had such a good future, but he did such despicable actions.

There was such a shameless, evil person near them. Everyone felt very scared!

All the other staff subconsciously felt the phone in their pockets as if they were afraid Qiao Xin pried on their chat history before, too.

Ye Zian, standing at one side, was also very surprised. He started frowning.

“What evidence do you have to prove that I pried your phone?” Qiao Xin, hoping against luck that he had a chance of escaping, said stubbornly.

“Your chat history with Zhang Daqiang has already be seen by many police officers. I heard that you also earned 100k RMB. Quite worth it, huh?” Tang Tu mocked him.
