While Lin Qian was preparing her outfit, Mother Li happened to pass by, so she walked into her daughter-in-law’s room and said, “The entire Superstar Media are a bunch of loyal and righteous people.”
After hearing this, Lin Qian smiled.
“Get some rest, Qian Qian.”
Lin Qian nodded her head. Afterwards, she gave Li Jin a phone call.
“I will wait for you in front of the house at 8am tomorrow. Let’s go together.”
Lin Qian had no objections towards Li Jin’s suggestion. Although he was at the military base and was unable to come home that night, he at least used every opportunity he could to stay by his wife’s side.
The next morning, as Lin Qian stepped out of the house, she saw her husband’s military car and immediately ran up to it.
“Let’s go. I’ll go send Qiao Sen off with you.”
Although Qiao Sen didn’t make much of a name for himself in the industry, any good friends that could make it to the memorial service, all turned up nice and early.
Plenty of reporters and fans waited at the entrance. Whenever a guest arrived, they simply followed procedures and greeted them, but their eyes were peeled for Superstar Media – for Emma.
At this time, some actors hired by a particular person, snuck into the crowd with raw eggs and stones and awaited for Emma’s arrival.
9am. The team from Superstar Media arrived, all dressed in black. As soon as the reporters saw Emma, they began to snap photos like crazy.
The security immediately jumped into full alert, but they did not expect that some fans standing behind the reporters would suddenly pull out eggs and stones from their backpacks and throw it towards Emma.
Of course, the security quickly blocked them and they all fell to the floor beside Emma’s feet.
“Murderer!”
As soon as Emma heard this, she stopped in her track and looked angrily towards the crowd of fans.
Eric immediately shielded her. Initially, he wanted to take her straight into the mourning hall, but Emma nudged him aside, gesturing that she wanted to resolve the matter on her own.
Eric was a little worried, but he gave up in the end and supported Emma by her side as everyone in Superstar Media walked towards the egg-throwing fans.
No one had ever seen a scene like this. Nor had they ever experienced the power of Superstar Media.
The reporters quickly cleared a path in fear so Emma could approach the fans behind them.
Without hesitation, Emma stepped forward and grabbed onto the hand of a woman that was buried deep inside a backpack and asked, “Who told you I’m a murderer?”
The fan froze in fear as she looked at Emma.
“I think you need to pay for what you’ve said. What do you think?”
“I think you killed Qiao Sen…and Xu Xin…”
“Do you have any evidence?” Emma asked. “What makes you so certain of this? Did you see it with your own eyes? And did you hear it with your own ears?”
“I saw it online…”
“Online?” Emma emphasized as she glared coldly into the woman’s eyes. “You appear like an adult, but has all your studies gone down the drain? Why would you trust wrongly informed news like that? Are you mentally retarded? If not, I don’t understand why someone at your age can’t differentiate bet**en right and wrong?”
“Did you know that if one of your stones hit someone here, you may have become what you hate the most – a murderer!”
“You…and all of you. Let me warn everyone present that if anyone dares to throw any eggs or stones my way, I will check the surveillance cameras and hunt you down. It seems, I can’t leave my house without using the law as a weapon.”
“I’m sure you can handle being sued for intentional infliction of bodily harm, right? If not, then too bad. According to the law, a crime like this is subject to up to two years imprisonment, criminal detention or police observation. Let’s see who’s retribution will come first.”
After speaking, Emma turned around in a domineering manner. At this time, the frightened fan rushed out of the crowd and grabbed onto Emma’s arm, “Don’t call the police on me, I did this because someone paid me to do it. I don’t know anything about your news, someone simply told me that I’d receive $1000 for throwing stones at you.”
After hearing this, everyone was shocked. Especially the reporters.
Emma freed herself from the woman’s grip and asked, “Who was this person?”
“I’m not sure. All I know is, everyone calls him Brother Wei. I also heard him talking on the phone to a President Fan and saying that he will use today’s event to seek revenge on you.”
After hearing this, Emma let out a laugh and said to the reporters, “Today is an important day for Qiao Sen. I will go pay my last respects and give the culprit one hour to turn himself in…If he doesn’t surrender himself within an hour, then don’t blame me for being heartless…”
No one expected that someone would use a method like this to go against Emma.
In fact, the reporters were so distracted that they forgot to interview Emma.
Remembering that they were at a memorial service, the reporters did not follow Emma inside. Since she would be back out in an hour, the reporters waited patiently to watch a good show in an hour’s time.
But, before Emma entered the mourning hall to see Qiao Sen’s body, she turned and said to Luke, “There’s something I need you to immediately help me with. We only have one hour.”
“Please tell me what I need to do.”
Since President Fan wanted to hurt her, she had no choice but to respond in an equally cruel manner, like a reciprocating gift.
So, after giving her instructions, Emma entered the mourning hall.
As she looked at Qiao Sen’s body lying peacefully in his coffin, Emma’s eyes immediately turned red.
“Qiao Sen, I will never forget everything you’ve done for ‘The Ant Queen’. Nor will I forget the days we fought together hand-in-hand. Don’t worry, even if I have to exhaust all my strength, I will make sure that ‘The Ant Queen’ gets released. I simply hope that I’ll do your passion justice.”
“Superstar Media will take care of your family on your behalf.”
“Goodbye, my friend. I hope you will be free from suffering now that you are in heaven.”
Emma stood beside the coffin as she bid Qiao Sen farewell. The man that had dedicated his entire life to his passion for sci-fi had left this world, but he looked at peace.
Eric hooked his arm around Emma’s shoulder and helped her wipe away her tears As he tucked a loose hair behind her ear, he comforted, “Goodbye is inevitable. I’m sure Qiao Sen can sense your determination.”
“There are currently more important things waiting for you to do,” Eric hinted.
Emma also knew that if she didn’t take this opportunity to put an end to President Fan, he would continue to cause trouble.
So, after bidding farewell to Qiao Sen, she stepped out of the mourning hall with the rest of Superstar Media. As she had said before, she was only giving the culprit one hour.
As soon as the reporters saw her step out, they immediately rushed over to interview her. The fans that previously threw eggs at her, were practically all gone and the remaining few were forced to cooperate with the police.
“Miss Miller, I’m afraid you will also need to go to the police station to record a report,” the police officers said as they approached Emma.
Emma glanced at the officers and nodded her head, “I will try my best to cooperate, but before I head to the station, there’s one thing I would like to clarify. Can you give me ten minutes?”
The officers looked at each other and nodded helplessly, “OK, but hurry.”
Superstar Media’s people hurried over to the ‘fans’ that were now under control. Emma, in particular, glared at them coldly.
“So, you’re not willing to reveal the instigator behind this entire incident? If you guys don’t say anything, you will only end up at the police station. I will also sue each and every one of you. But, if you tell me the truth right now, I can guarantee that I won’t pursue this matter further.”
The fans that were under control were a few young women in their early 20’s.
At first, they did not plan to respond to Emma. But, unfortunately, Emma knew their weaknesses.
“I know who it is…” a short-haired girl suddenly raised her hand and said. “I can tell you who it is, but can you guarantee that you won’t sue me?”
Emma looked past the women in front of her and gazed at a woman at the back that had a mole on her nose and nodded her head, “I always do as I say.”
“Good. In that case, I admit that we accepted money from someone. But, there’s no point asking these women about the instigator because they don’t know anything. They were simply being used by someone.”
“How much do you know, then?” Emma asked, “You know I don’t have much time.”
“You recently offended someone because of the incident with Luo Sheng. You had a few encounters, but this person received the shorter end of the stick, every single time. That’s why he wanted to get revenge on you. On top of that, he was also responsible for the negative comments online.” The young woman was skinny, but her eyes were lively.
“Are you talking about President Fan?” Luo Sheng suddenly stepped forward and asked. “Is this all because I refused to act in ‘The Pirate Doctor’?”
“Not just that. President Fan’s brother-in-law is supposed to be a director at Kaleidoscope, but I bet the public aren’t aware that he was recently kicked off the board. President Fan blames Emma for this, so he has decided to get back at Emma every chance he gets. This time, he wanted to use public opinion during Qiao Sen’s memorial service to attack her.”
