Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 1745 - 1647: The Incident

Huang Jingwen and Su Lingxue were immediately speechless, unable to find words to argue back.

Indeed, they were the ones who arranged for someone to buy those drugs, spending quite a bit of money. Moreover, Huang Jingwen was closely connected to Fei Biao, so they assumed that their actions were very covert, beyond detection.

However, they never expected that the criminal investigation and anti-drug department had been monitoring Fei Biao for a long time. As soon as they bought such a large quantity of goods from Fei Biao, they naturally became targets of police monitoring.

The clues obtained from the police showed that these drugs were indeed purchased by them, and it was impossible to pin this on Huo Sining.

Moreover, they originally intended to use the drugs to frame Huo Sining. Now, Huo Sining was merely returning the favor, handing those drugs back to them. If there’s any blame, it’s certainly not on Huo Sining.

Huo Sining stood with a calm expression because she knew that even if the police suspected her, they wouldn’t find any clues. She hadn’t given away any hints, unlike Huang Jingwen and Su Lingxue, who left evidence.

Su Lingxue’s gaze fell on Huo Sining’s face. Knowing she was doomed this time, her heart was still unwilling, and she didn’t forget to throw harsh words before leaving:

"You vile woman, just wait, this isn’t over between us!"

Huo Sining wore a smile, but her eyes were cold and devoid of warmth.

"Miss Huo, don’t pay her any mind. She’s probably acting like a desperate dog after being caught, biting anyone she lays hands on. We police deal with evidence; we won’t wrong an innocent person!"

After taking Su Lingxue and Huang Jingwen away, Director Xing’s footsteps turned, and he approached Huo Sining.

Huo Sining smiled and nodded: "A clear conscience fears no false shadows. I, Huo Sining, know I’ve done nothing wrong; I’ve never come into contact with drugs and won’t be bothered by mere idle talk."

Director Xing admired Huo Sining’s calm demeanor: "Seeing Miss Huo’s vital energy and bright eyes, it’s clear she couldn’t be involved with drugs. If a drug user had your vigor, the whole populace might turn to drugs!"

Upon hearing Director Xing’s words, the audience and reporters who were initially swayed by Su Lingxue’s remarks also eased their doubts.

Indeed, even if Huo Sining worked late on a film set, she always appeared energetic and focused the next day. Such a vivacious girl being accused of drug use was utterly preposterous!

Furthermore, given Huo Sining’s wealth, there’s no reason for her to engage in the dangerous act of drug dealing. After all, whether her own money or the Gu Family’s, she has enough to last several lifetimes of indulgence.

Everyone felt Director Xing made a valid point, especially the reporters. They knew the force backing Huo Sining was powerful, wary of even news with substance, let alone baseless rumors.

Hence, Su Lingxue’s plan to drag Huo Sining down with dirt was unlikely to succeed.

After the incident, Zheng Lixiang quickly received the news, but they were a few steps too late. By the time they rushed back to the hotel, Su Lingxue and Huang Jingwen had already been taken away by the police.

Zheng Lixiang never imagined such a scandal would erupt during the filming of her movie, making her face turn unsightly.

"Quick, call Huan Rui and see how they can handle this. I reckon this news has already spread online!"

Upon hearing the recount from Huo Sining and Xie Yuxing, Zheng Lixiang immediately addressed the producer beside her.

She understood that Huan Rui Entertainment had a public relations company, and given the wide-reaching impact of this matter, the crew could not hastily express an opinion before Huan Rui’s official statement.

But Zheng Lixiang’s instincts were spot-on, as reporters armed with firsthand information rushed back to their offices to claim credit, and within the hour, explosive news proliferated online, accompanied by pictures.

...

A series of news stories were published by major entertainment media online, creating a massive wave and shocking many with the sudden information.

"No way, is this referring to Su Lingxue? But didn’t Su Lingxue start off with a pure image? How could she possibly be using drugs?"

"With news out, how can it be false? There are photos too, taken at the scene. Her agent, surnamed Huang, was also caught alongside her!"

"This is just too explosive! My goodness, a news bomb like this at night is truly unbelievable!"

"Oh my goddess, why did you take this path too? Drug use is slow suicide; you’re hurting yourself!"

"So what? This is the entertainment industry. Many stars have used drugs. With the pressure of filming and temptations, it’s nothing new at all!"

"Hiding over a kilogram of drugs is truly audacious. I wonder how long she’ll be imprisoned; this is the end for Su Lingxue!"

"Why do I find this so odd? Su Lingxue seems in great condition, rosy-cheeked and even with baby fat. Aren’t drug users supposed to be emaciated? How can she look so rosy?"

"Forget it, don’t bother clearing her name. Drug involvement is a lifelong stigma. Taken by police, caught with evidence, what’s there to argue?"

"Su Lingxue once filmed anti-drug PSAs too, only to slap herself in the face. It’s utterly ludicrous. What’s she thinking?"

"Hope broadcasting can ban Su Lingxue, drug users deserve lifelong blacklisting; let her be ousted from the entertainment circle!"

The internet was in an uproar; within hours, a storm surged.

Huo Sining and Xie Yuxing quietly observed the unfolding scenario in their room, their expressions changing like the weather.

Especially Xie Yuxing, it was an understatement to say he was deeply concerned.

If Huo Sining hadn’t preemptively detected and safeguarded against this incident, the trouble would have fallen on her, and the online backlash might have been even more severe.

After all, Huo Sining had been portrayed as a national heroine in Huaxia before, starring in the Spring Festival Gala, the treasure appraisal event, WGC, and later marrying Gu Xu in a century wedding. All these had molded her into a perfect heroine in the public’s eyes.

But the higher one stands, the harder they fall. If the incident had implicated Huo Sining, Xie Yuxing could almost foresee her image being trampled to dust by the justice-driven netizens.
