Chapter 571: Chapter 561: The Person Who Mentored Pei Xinyuan

Han Dashan looked at Pei Xinyuan, who wore a blank expression, in disbelief.

He had been so terrified the night before that he couldn’t fall asleep until late, so naturally he woke up late in the morning.

Thinking about how Mr. Bai had only given him two days, he didn’t even have time for breakfast before planning to go to the police to withdraw his complaint.

He was still dreaming about getting the remaining nine million when the police arrived first.

They opened their mouths and hit him with a heavy allegation.

Pei Xinyuan had actually reported that he deliberately killed his own father!

How did this damn girl know?

Even last night, while sleeping, he had given himself psychological hints, fearing he might accidentally speak of it in his dreams.

"Officer, this is absolutely Pei Xinyuan making false accusations. How could I possibly harm my own father?"

But the police were far more experienced. Patricide cases were rare, but not unheard of.

They calmly pressed him further, "Before returning home yesterday evening, besides buying alcohol and snacks, did you buy anything else?"

Han Dashan’s face instantly turned anxious.

Had they already investigated this far?

By the time he came to his senses, he felt the cool metal around his wrist, sending a chill down to his heart.

"No, I didn’t do anything!"

The police were now certain something fishy was going on here and replied coldly, "Then let the evidence speak."

While Han Dashan had his head covered and hands cuffed, being escorted out of the hospital, Bai Shengyu also received the news.

The expensive teacup in his hand shattered onto the ground, "Good-for-nothing!"

The assistant reporting in kept his head down, not daring to make a sound, barely breathing.

"You say it was Han Jiaojiao’s friend, Pei Xinyuan, who reported it? Someone died last night, and she didn’t report it until a whole evening later. How slow is her reaction? Did she contact anyone before reporting to the police? Someone must have tipped her off!"

The assistant lowered his head even further, "I will investigate immediately."

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly. I want to see who is trying to mess up my plans!"

With the final word, another teacup crashed to the floor.

The assistant suppressed his frustration and exited the tearoom.

He had originally been waiting for Han Dashan to finish the task assigned by the boss, come to collect the final payment check, at which point his arranged people would be ready. By then, even if the police were suspicious, Han Dashan would have died in an ’accident.’

Everything had been going smoothly.

But now, should they silence him in prison?

If that were the case, he wouldn’t need to come out again!

Now he could only hope that Han Dashan executed the plan so well that the police couldn’t find any evidence. Otherwise, in desperation, if Han Dashan revealed the boss’s involvement, he, the assistant who was also present, wouldn’t escape either.

He might even end up being made a scapegoat by the boss.

The real culprit now was whoever might have tipped off Pei Xinyuan. He hated them with a passion!

Find them, he had to see why this person suddenly intervened in his matter!

*

The ’real culprit’ had just left the premises.

The brand event started at ten-thirty. Jiang Lingxi didn’t like to arrive last minute, so after getting styled and changing outfits, she decisively led her team over ahead of time.

At ten sharp, Beichen Square opened on time.

Taking advantage of the weekend, a stream of people flowed in to shop.

Some of the older, non-celebrity-chasing folks were curious about the long queue outside the Shanyue Zhiheng flagship store.

"Does this shop have a promotional event today?"

The queried plaza employee pointed a hand at the life-sized cutout standing at the store’s entrance, "Today, Shanyue Zhiheng’s spokesperson, Jiang Lingxi, will make an appearance to support the brand. All those in line are likely her fans."

"Jiang Lingxi? I’ve never heard of her. Is she famous?"

"More or less."

"Oh, I had a favorite star before, that Xu Qingmei. Turned out she was totally fake. I saw the exposés online, and it made me sick. I’ve come to understand these stars, all about packaging, head to toe fake. Since then, I don’t plan to like any more stars, just watch their shows and movies."

The staff member forced to listen to the rant: "Uh, I’m actually a fan of Jiang Lingxi. Whatever others say, I think she’s pretty genuine. Her fans queued up early in the morning outside, and she even had someone send over hot drinks and snacks. If I didn’t have work, I’d want to get a cup myself."

"That’s just for show, how much can a hot drink cost, those stars make so much!"

"But Jiang Lingxi sent hot drinks from Yan Er, each costs twenty to thirty, and by this morning, nearly five hundred cups were handed out, along with snacks."

"Are they still handing them out now?"

The staff member maintained a smile and pointed towards the drinks cart, "You can check it out."

Many were inquiring, some choosing to ignore it, while others planned to join the excitement once the event started.

Soon, Jiang Lingxi’s photos endorsing the Shanyue Zhiheng appeared on the large screen in the plaza atrium.

Those passing by couldn’t help but look up.

They unconsciously held their breath.

"If the photos are so beautiful, what does she look like in person?"

"We’ll see soon."

"There were so many people when we came over; there’s bound to be more now. We might have to squeeze in."

"This screen should be live-streaming later. If we can’t squeeze in, we’ll just watch here."

"Let’s go, lots of people heading towards Shanyue Zhiheng!"

So when Jiang Lingxi arrived at the scene through a specially-made passageway, she was met with a sea of people.

Following behind, Fang Yao remarked, "So many people!"

Lu Zhengzheng patted her arm, "Stay calm."

Fang Yao: "Zhengzheng, you’re out of sync."

Lu Zhengzheng: "See through but not speak, we’re still good sisters."

Fang Yao: "Oh!"

Jiang Lingxi lifted her dress hem and stepped onto the temporarily constructed platform, waving to those watching.

"Xixi!"

"Xixi, thank you for the hot drinks, they were delicious!"

...

Jiang Lingxi took the microphone handed to her by the host, glanced at the camera, then looked down at the bustling crowd. Noticing some people subtly pushing forward, she swallowed her initial greeting and added a barely perceptible tone of authority, "Friends in the back, please don’t push forward. It’s crowded and could be dangerous."

Her voice echoed through the microphone, ensuring it reached everyone’s ears present.

Some obeyed, obediently stopped moving forward.

But others ignored the warning, continuing to sneak forward.

Just as they were squeezing, they suddenly felt like they’d been caught red-handed by a headmaster patrolling during class.

"Hmm? Still pushing?"

A few instinctively looked up, meeting a precise gaze directed at them, and their scalp tingled with fear.

They promptly straightened up!
