The room fell into a hushed silence the moment the woman spoke.
The commotion naturally attracted the attention of the trainees in the adjacent practice rooms.
Lin Qingyan and Li Jingchen also arrived, followed closely by Mu Ye and Lu
Yan.
They all looked at Si Fuqing, who was surrounded, with astonishment.
None of them recognized these people, but judging by the scene, Si Fuqing had clearly angered someone influentialâenough to involve the police.
âMiss, please come with us for further investigation,â the officer nodded. âThe victimâs condition is currently unknown, and we would like you to accompany us to the hospital to assist with inquiries.â
âWhat investigation?â The woman was relentless. âShe is the one who hit her; she must be taken away!â
âIf thatâs the case, letâs check the surveillance footage,â Si Fuqing said, remaining seated in her plush chair, completely at ease. âItâll clearly show whether I hit her or she fainted.â
âYou already knew, didnât you?â The woman sneered. âThe place where you hit my sister just happened to be a blind spot for the cameras. Nothing was captured. However, the fact that you called the hospital for emergency help doesnât absolve you of being the culprit!â
âMrs. Chen, please calm down,â the officer furrowed his brow. âAt this moment, we canât conclusively say sheâs responsible; sheâs merely a suspect.â
âIf she didnât hit her, who did?â Mrs. Chen fumed. âAlthough my sisterâs health isnât great, she wouldnât just faint while walking.â
The officer turned to Si Fuqing, âMiss?â
âTeacher Si!â Xu Xiyun behind her grew anxious. âAre you okay?â
He didnât know who this affluent woman was, but judging by her attire, she was clearly someone they couldnât contend with.
Xie Yuâs eyes also cooled.
Before Si Fuqing could respond, her phone rang.
She glanced down at the screen.
Boss.
Note: Flush with cash.
âExcuse me,â Si Fuqing pressed the answer button, as calm as ever. âI need to take this call.â
A deep, clear male voice came from the other end, tinged with a touch of chill. âItâs me. Are you free tonight?â
Si Fuqing hummed in acknowledgment. âYes, but I have something to deal with first; I need to go to the hospital.â
Yu Xiheng paused, his tone becoming heavier. âThe hospital?â
âAh, no, not for me. Iâm fine,â Si Fuqing glanced at a fuming Mrs. Chen. âIâve just been the victim of a scam.â
After briefly chatting with her financially generous boss, she ended the call.
Hopefully, sheâd get a raise.
âOh, your sugar daddy is calling?â Mrs. Chen said sarcastically. âYou entertainers sure lead chaotic lives.â
Ignoring her, Si Fuqing turned to Xie Yu and gestured, âYou continue to train them; Iâll make a trip to the hospital.â
Xie Yu instantly concealed the hostility heâd shown earlier, replying leisurely,
âTeacher Si, when you return, I have something to consult you about.â
Si Fuqing put on her coat, unfazed. âSure thing.â
Xu Xiyun still looked worried. âTeacher Siâ¦â
Mu Ye, however, seemed almost gleeful. âBrother Yan, Si Fuqing is really done for this time. Even if the company doesnât take action, sheâll be blacklisted just for getting arrested.â
âItâs a good thing,â Lu Yan squinted. âSheâs been too careless to let someone catch her like this.â
He glanced at an equally composed Xie Yu and snorted softly.
Debuting with a legal troublemaker like Si Fuqing? Heâd like to see how Xie Yu managed that.
âWhat on earth did Teacher Si do?â Lin Qingyan was concerned. âWhy did it even involve the police?â
âYou donât know; that ladyâs surname is Chen, from the Chen family,â Li Jingchen spoke gravely. âThe Chen familyâs influence in this city is second only to the Zuo family. Si Fuqing has really kicked the hornetâs nest this time.â
Lin Qingyan covered her lips, slightly surprised. âWill Teacher Si really be taken
Li Jingchen hesitated before shaking his head. âThatâs none of our business.â
âI think the Chen family must be mistaken,â Lin Qingyan pursed her lips. âTeacher Si is a kind person; she wouldnât do something like this. But we should still prepare for some PR work.â
A scandal involving their dance instructor would undoubtedly stir up waves online.
For Lin Qingyan, whether Si Fuqing was taken in or not didnât matter; what was crucial was that it shouldnât affect the show and her own interests.
âPreparation is necessary,â Li Jingchen agreed, his tone cooling. âShe seems to attract trouble. â
He had not a shred of fondness for her.
Meanwhile, on the other end.
Yu Xiheng put down his phone and looked up, his voice tinged with coldness. âGet ready. Weâre going to Linâs First Hospital.â
Feng San came over with a glass of juice, puzzled. âBrother Nine, why the sudden trip to the hospital? Is someone sick?â
âTo pick her up.â
âWhy would Miss Si be at the hospital?â Feng San immediately understood, yet was also quite perplexed. âDid she beat someone up? Is she going to pay for their medical expenses?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He couldnât think of any other reason.
âNo,â Yu Xiheng didnât elaborate, his tone neutral. âThree minutes.â
Feng San hastily began to gather his things, not daring to delay.
Yu Tang had already heard about the situation from Si Fuqing. She was tearful and incredibly moved. âUncle Nine, Qingqing is in dire straits right now, waiting for you to rescue her!â
âYouâre the hero in shining armor, riding on a rainbow cloud! Hurry, Uncle Nine!â
Yu Xiheng paused, unamused. âFeng San, confiscate her novels.â
Following the order, Feng San, who had just parked the car, promptly seized all the novels Yu Tang had brought over.
Looking at the titles like âThe Cold CEO is Hot at Nightâ and âThe Reborn Little Temptress Sticks Like Glue,â Feng San was speechless.
He firmly restrained Yu Tangâs hand as she tried to snatch back her books.
Such books should indeed not be read.
Yu Tangâs eyes welled up with tears. âUncle Nine, youâre being too harsh. Youâre destroying my youthful, eighteen -year-old heart. Youâll never find a girlfriend! â
Yu Xiheng glanced over at her, his tone remaining indifferent. âI hadnât noticed. â
He put on his wristwatch, his slender fingers lightly tapping the table. The words he spoke left no room for refusal. âLetâs go..â
