Chapter 559: Chapter 549: Can Justice Be Served?

Although they already guessed the visitor’s identity, the police needed further confirmation.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

Pei Xinyuan immediately recognized the valiant-looking female officer as the one who had called to notify her about Han Jiaojiao’s accident. "I’m Pei Xinyuan, a good friend and roommate of Han Jiaojiao. She told me she’d be filming all night before we went to sleep. How could something happen? How could she fall?"

This matched the information gathered from the victim’s phone. The female cop patted the girl’s shoulder to comfort her, feeling the dampness under her hand. Seeing her disheveled from rushing over, it was evident she was close to the victim.

"Han Jiaojiao is still in emergency care. She... she fell from the sixth floor and landed on a car. Things don’t look good; you need to prepare for the worst."

The male officer, who had been on a call when Pei Xinyuan arrived, came over, shaking his head at his partner with furrowed brows. "Still can’t get through."

"Miss Pei, Miss Pei Xinyuan!"

Pei Xinyuan couldn’t accept the fact that Han Jiaojiao had fallen from the sixth floor. Hearing her name, she blankly raised her head.

"Miss Pei, we can’t reach Han Jiaojiao’s family. You’re her good friend, do you know anything about her family situation?"

"About her family, Jiaojiao rarely mentioned them. She only stayed home for a few days last New Year and then came back, saying she would never go back. She seldom contacted them; I don’t think she gets along well with her family. I remember Jiaojiao mentioning a father and a brother, but she never talked about her mother."

The two officers exchanged a glance.

"Seems like we can only reach them once she regains consciousness."

"The key is..."

They didn’t continue the sentence in front of Pei Xinyuan.

But Pei Xinyuan could guess what he meant. She bit her lip and couldn’t help asking again, "You haven’t told me why Jiaojiao fell, where did she fall from? Was... was she pushed?"

"The case is still under investigation. The incident happened at the Purple Gold Club. The message Han Jiaojiao sent you may have been misleading," the female officer said. Her eyes flashed with obscured anger as she took a deep breath before continuing, "There is currently no evidence to prove Han Jiaojiao was coerced."

After the incident, they immediately reviewed all the surveillance related to the victim from the club.

The footage showed Han Jiaojiao swiping a card and entering the room involved. What happened inside was not captured on video.

Moreover, the victim was directly rushed to the ER by ambulance. With a life at stake, they couldn’t investigate any traces linking to the three male suspects in the same room with her.

All three men testified that the victim came to their room to drink and discuss matters voluntarily and walked to the balcony, resulting in the fall due to intoxication. This matched with Han Jiaojiao walking into the room voluntarily.

Without any evidence, despite knowing the three men might have harmed Han Jiaojiao, they couldn’t bring them to justice.

Pei Xinyuan wasn’t naive. Having struggled alongside Han Jiaojiao in the film industry for years, she had seen scandals and struggles. They had even faced coercion before.

Though they were lucky enough to avoid mishaps before, this time Jiaojiao couldn’t, paying a heavy price for it.

For a moment, she even doubted if Jiaojiao could ever get justice?

A warm cup was pressed into her hands, accompanied by the female officer’s gentle voice, "Miss Pei, have a seat, drink some water and rest. You look quite pale now."

Pei Xinyuan mechanically sat on the corridor chairs, took a sip, and looked at the tightly shut doors of the ER, doctors darting in and out.

Watching the frowns etched on the masked faces, her heart clamped tighter...

[Purple Gold Club Incident with Actor Allegedly Falling to Death]

[I heard about it too; a friend was celebrating a birthday at that club. When it got too hot inside the private room, they opened the balcony door. Around one or two in the morning, they heard a thud outside, followed by all the car alarms going off and the sound of sirens. My friend sobered up instantly.]

[Checked it out, it was a relatively unknown actor, some Han Jiaojiao. Searched online and found some pictures, really pretty.]

[Didn’t expect such an incident on their first day working at the club. We followed our temporary manager to the accident site, but she was already taken by the ambulance. The smashed car was still there, a lot of blood, seems she fell from the sixth or seventh floor. She was taken away, but probably didn’t survive.]

[Such a young and pretty girl, what a pity!]

[Wow, such a big deal, yet it’s barely been a while, and with so many people present at Purple Gold Club, why is there no buzz about it?]

[Why? Because someone suppressed it to prevent the spread. Can’t you see that?]

[Who would have such power? This is a life we’re talking about!]

[Let’s make a bet. I bet that the culprit responsible for Han Jiaojiao’s fall will get away scot-free, and nobody will even find out their identity. You bet that person will be brought to justice.]

[Sure, let’s bet. And I’ll add that the issue will eventually explode. The loser calls the winner ’boss’.]

[It’s a sure win for me, just wait and see.]

...

After discussing for a while, they noticed that the originally lively thread was now just occupied by them, causing doubts to rise.

Could it really have been intentionally suppressed?

This site has uncountable daily active users. Who could have such power to completely stifle the heat of this?

Some discussed until they dozed off, and upon waking the next morning, checked the forum again. The actor’s fall thread had sunk to the bottom. Without previous discussion records, they wouldn’t have found it on the homepage.

It won’t do, it needs to be bumped up!

He opened the post, typed a comment, clicked send, and got an administrator message prohibiting posting.

"Damn!"

Pei Xinyuan waited as the sky outside lightened from dark. The overnight sleet continued, and the gradually bustling hospital corridors quickly collected dirty footprints, forcing the cleaning staff to mop every few minutes.

Her damp slippers were stepped on by a hurried young man. It wasn’t until he stopped to apologize that she realized she’d been sitting too long and had gone stiff, her foot numb.

As she shook her head, she saw the green light turn on and jumped up, almost falling onto the young man who had apologized.

Legs numb and unsteady, she clung to the young man’s arm, her eyes fixed on the slowly opening doors of the operating room.

Seeing it wasn’t a bed fully covered with a white cloth, she opened her mouth in excitement, but no words came out. Finally, her body relaxed into a soft slump.

The young man’s hand inadvertently brushed against her forehead, "Doctor, nurse, this lady has a fever!"
