Return to the City: The Strongest King-Chapter 1876 - 1787: Take Them All Away
"Is it these two?" Qiao Yutong pointed at Song Xiaodong and Sister Zhou.
"Yes, yes!"
"It's them. They're the ones who assaulted us, incited a brawl, and even detained us unlawfully, not allowing us to leave. They're so audacious, Officer, you must stand up for us!"
Finally, a police officer who didn't side with Song Xiaodong showed up; Qin Huai understood the situation and immediately reported to Qiao Yutong.
"Officer, we can both act as witnesses!" Zhu Wenhua pointed to Qin Huai.
"Officer, I can also act as a witness!" Zhang Gangyi, still unsteady from being kicked, also stepped out.
"Mr. Song, this..." Sister Zhou, unfamiliar with the recently promoted Deputy Director Qiao, turned to ask Song Xiaodong.
"Sister Zhou, it looks like neither of us will be able to slip away this time." Song Xiaodong shrugged and made a helpless expression.
"Alright, I'll accompany Mr. Song to the station for a trip." Sister Zhou also seemed relaxed.
"Don't worry, I'll vouch for you." Song Xiaodong casually promised Sister Zhou.
"With Mr. Song's assurance, I'm relieved." Sister Zhou showed no signs of fear or tension.
Song Xiaodong couldn't help but admire Sister Zhou's courage.
"You two!" Qiao Yutong placed one hand on her waist and pointed at Officer Sun and Officer Wu with the other.
"How are you performing your duties? Taking only one side? What about the other side? Ignored? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?" Qiao Yutong rebuked the two officers mercilessly.
Officer Wu and Officer Sun hung their heads and remained silent.
Actually, Officer Sun was secretly pleased; Officer Wu had only been arrogant for three minutes before being scolded by someone of higher rank.
"Bring them both too!" Qiao Yutong's anti-riot team immediately moved to act.
"Hey, Officer, they're here causing trouble at our film studio, we are the victims, why are we being arrested?" Song Xiaodong questioned Qiao Yutong.
"Victims? They've been beaten like this; you two are unscathed, and you claim to be the victims?" Qiao Yutong's tone was extremely severe, frowning and gritting her teeth, her face showing anger.
"Take them all away!"
Qiao Yutong gave some face, only arresting Song Xiaodong and Sister Zhou.
"Brother Xiaodong!" Xiao Yingying heard the commotion outside, ran out, and saw Song Xiaodong had already been taken away.
"Brother Xiaodong!" Xiao Yingying was stopped by the police, crying and sniffling as she called out to Song Xiaodong.
"Yingying, it's alright, I'll come to pick you up tonight."
"Brother Xiaodong!"
Qiao Yutong looked at Xiao Yingying's tearful demeanor and Song Xiaodong's affectionate gaze, feeling even more irritated.
"Move! Unrelated persons, make way." Qiao Yutong glared at Xiao Yingying, left with Song Xiaodong, Sister Zhou, Jin Daya, Zhang Wu, Zhu Wenhua, Qin Huai, Zhang Gangyi, and several severely beaten individuals, leaving Xiao Yingying standing there with tear-stained cheeks.
After a long while, Xiao Yingying regained her composure and called Song Xiaoru: "Sis, Song Xiaodong was taken away by Deputy Director Qiao!"
Song Xiaoru listened and couldn't regain her composure for a while.
Miao Qingqing, Sun Yiyi, and Su Yuya were relatively calm and discussed countermeasures together.
In no time, Xiao Yingying returned.
"Sis, it's all my fault!" As soon as Xiao Yingying saw Song Xiaoru, she broke into tears.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry; this matter isn't simple, don't blame yourself." Song Xiaoru embraced Xiao Yingying and wiped her tears.
"Explain what happened; we'll figure it out." Su Yuya asked.
"Song Xiaodong hit a director. The director and the male lead's agent called people to fight. A few police officers came, and then Deputy Director Qiao arrived and took Brother Xiaodong away." Xiao Yingying said.
"Why is Xiaodong fighting again?" Sun Yiyi frowned and said.
"Brother Xiaodong got into a fight because of me. That director exploited our company's artists. The male lead is Qin Huai, and her agent is our competitor Zhu Wenhua." Xiao Yingying continued to explain.
"That little witch!" Miao Xuanxuan knew Zhu Wenhua; they had their fair share of fights both openly and secretly.
"Qin Huai?" Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling exchanged glances.
"Yeah, Qin Huai auditioned for a kissing scene and ate garlic; our leading actress couldn't stand it. Song Xiaodong requested to change the male lead, but the director pretended not to hear, and as a result, Brother Xiaodong hit him." Xiao Yingying continued.
"How can Qin Huai be like that!" Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling found it obnoxious; they had taken pictures with Qin Huai on the plane.
"Director Zhang exploited our female artist, and the venue was arranged by Qin Huai and Zhu Wenhua." Xiao Yingying continued.
"That's really despicable!" Sun Yiyi was also somewhat angry.
"Zhu Wenhua called people over, Qin Huai also called people, Zhang Gangyi called people, a brawl ensued, and then two officers came, and just as they were about to leave, Deputy Director Qiao arrived and brought everyone back to the station."
Xiao Yingying lowered her head as she spoke.
"It's all my fault!"
"Oh Yingying, don't be like this. Xiaodong has a good relationship with Deputy Director Qiao; even if he's detained, it'll be fine, don't worry." Li Sijie reassured Xiao Yingying.
"Sis, you tell us what to do." Miao Qingqing asked Song Xiaoru.
Song Xiaoru continuously furrowed her brows and remained silent.
She recalled the past incident between Song Xiaodong and Qiao Yutong, feeling that this matter might not be that simple.
"Everybody don't worry, we'll contact the police team and visit Xiaodong in the afternoon to find out what happened." Song Xiaoru said.
"Alright."
At the police station.
A group of people were detained in the same cell.
Song Xiaodong, Sister Zhou, and Zhang Wu, Jin Daya, Qin Huai, Zhu Wenhua, Zhang Gangyi, and Zhang Wu and Jin Daya's subordinates were all detained together.
