"What are you so nervous about? I'm just saying." Xiao Qi frowned, "Seeing how nervous you are, could this matter have something to do with you?"
"If you talk nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite!" Sister Li glanced at him, "With something like this happening in the crew, everyone is already on edge. How can you spout such nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Xiao Qi said coldly, "The person who drugged him is among you. If you can't find that person, you won't be able to escape responsibility."
"Alright, alright, you two, stop arguing."
Yang Xiaofei said repeatedly, "Since Mr. Lu is confident, there's no problem! You don't need to worry too much. This matter will likely be resolved soon."
After a long while, Xiao Hong, led by Director Liu, arrived at the conference room. Her face was slightly pale, as if she were indeed ill.
"Mr. Lu, everyone from the crew is here," Director Liu said, "Are there any methods to find the poisoner?"
"No need to look, it's him!" Lu Fan waved his hand and looked towards Xiao Hong.
"Mr. Lu, you have no evidence, so don't spout nonsense." Xiao Hong's face turned ashen, "Xiao Fei and I are very close. How could I harm him."
"That's for you to ask!" Lu Fan shrugged, "You have a peculiar medicinal scent on you. Although you've washed it very clean, my sense of smell is keen, so it should be correct."
Xiao Hong's face suddenly changed, showing a hint of fear. Lu Fan possessing such capabilities was unexpected.
"Mr. Lu, Xiao Hong has been sick recently, so it's normal for her to come into contact with medication," Sister Li interjected, "Is there perhaps some misunderstanding?"
"This medicine originates from Miao territory and is not an ordinary drug," Lu Fan stated directly, "The fact that this scent is on her is proof enough!"
"Xiao Hong, did you really do it?" Yang Xiaofei asked.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me!" Xiao Hong quickly backed away, looking even more terrified.
"I haven't treated you badly. How could you do such a thing?" Director Liu scolded, "Yang Xiaofei is the future of this crew. If something happened to him, how could you possibly bear the responsibility!"
Xiao Hong instantly broke down, unable to argue further. All the evidence pointed to her, and she felt guilty.
"You were so close with Yang Xiaofei, why would you drug him?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that someone instructed you to do this?"
The people present were startled, their expressions shifting. If someone had indeed instructed Xiao Hong, who could that person be, and what was their motive?
Sister Li stared intently at Xiao Hong, as if afraid she would say something. Her fists were clenched tightly.
"I did it myself. It has nothing to do with anyone else." Xiao Hong quickly shook her head, "It's all my fault, Xiao Fei, please forgive me! We've been sisters!"
Yang Xiaofei stood frozen. In the entire crew, she and Xiao Hong were the closest. She never expected Xiao Hong to poison him, almost causing her to leave the entertainment industry.
"Even if something happened to him, you wouldn't gain anything," Lu Fan said coldly, "I suspect the real mastermind is not you. If you refuse to speak, you'll face legal trouble, and a simple plea of sisterhood won't resolve it!"
Xiao Hong looked nervous, glancing at Sister Li from time to time, her expression becoming more anxious.
"Mr. Lu, it's really not a big deal. Since we've found out who did it, we can just expel them from the crew," Sister Li said with a smile, "Given Xiao Hong's relationship with Xiao Fei, it's unlikely to go this far!"
"If it weren't for Mr. Lu, Yang Xiaofei might have had to leave the entertainment industry or even end her career," Xiao Qi said coldly, "This matter is not so easily dismissed!"
"Xiao Hong, do you have any unspeakable difficulties?" Yang Xiaofei asked, "If someone else is the mastermind, just say it, and we will believe you."
"It was Sister Li. Sister Li told me to do it."
Xiao Hong said repeatedly, "Sister Li is an old member of the crew. I dared not disobey, so I did something foolish!"
"You're slandering me! What does this have to do with me?" Sister Li shouted angrily, "You, Xiao Hong, always seemed honest, but now you're good at shifting blame, trying to drag me down!"
"Sister Li, now that things have come to this point, just confess," Xiao Hong said guiltily, "The deed is done, and I won't be able to stay in the crew in the future anyway."
"Sister Li, don't you owe me an explanation?" Yang Xiaofei looked at Sister Li, "Otherwise, this matter will not be so easily brushed aside!"
"He's just looking for a scapegoat, Xiaofei, you mustn't believe his words," Sister Li said earnestly.
"Whether I believe it or not is my business, but Sister Li must give me an explanation!" Yang Xiaofei said coldly, "These things are not baseless rumors!"
"Xiao Li, what exactly is going on?"
Director Liu frowned, "Explain yourself. Xiao Hong would never wrongly accuse you for no reason."
"Director Liu, since things have reached this point, what else do I have to explain?" Sister Li said with a wry smile, "No one believes me, and there's no point in me staying in the crew!"
"Even if you want to leave, you need to clarify this matter," Xiao Qi said with a faint smile, "If you really did it, you'll face legal action!"
"Don't gloat over your good fortune," Sister Li said coldly, "I'm not to be trifled with either. I hope you all act wisely!"
Director Liu, however, sneered, "Xiao Li, Xiao Li, you're even threatening me now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several men rushed in and surrounded Xiao Li.
"Director Liu, what are you doing?" Xiao Li's face turned ashen, "I don't want to fall out with you!"
"Having committed such an act, which harms the crew, how can I let you go easily?" Director Liu stated directly.
Sister Li's face turned ashen. Relying on her seniority in the crew, she had always acted tyrannically, never taking others seriously. Now, being treated this way by Director Liu, her face contorted in anger.
After Sister Li was taken away, Yang Xiaofei asked, "Director Liu, where are you taking Sister Li?"
"Naturally, to where she belongs!" Director Liu smiled, "You've suffered these past few days."
"I haven't suffered. As long as my face can be restored to its original state!" Yang Xiaofei shook her head.
"Don't worry, Lu said you'll be fine. Now that the real culprit has been found, you don't have to worry anymore," Xiao Qi said with a smile.
"Yes!" Yang Xiaofei nodded seriously, looking at Lu Fan, "If not for Mr. Lu's intervention, the situation would never have turned around."
"We're all friends, it's just a small effort," Lu Fan waved his hand, "Spring Festival is approaching, and Ms. Yang likely has many performances. My medicine needs to be prepared quickly, or you won't make it in time!"
"Thank you!" Yang Xiaofei bowed.
Director Liu also gave a slight nod, showing even greater deference to Lu Fan, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
