Yan Yi Xie's studio was in shock at this sudden development. This was an issue that they never thought they would face. Because of this, they were a little slow to take action.
The matter continued to be bigger until they could no longer control it.
A few hours after Yan Yi Xie was arrested, his social media and his fan club were immediately closed. His endorsement was pulled out and they were discussing letting Yan Yi Xie and his agency pay some penalty.
Meanwhile, Yan Yi Xie's loyal fan was still unable to believe this news. Yan Yi Xie was someone who always had a good reputation. They did not believe that YanYi Xie would have the courage to kill an ant. How can it be that he was hiring thugs to murder someone?
In just a few hours, his hard-core fans gathered in front of the police station to protest.
They argued that Yan Yi Xie was framed by his enemy. They demanded the police to reinvestigate this matter and help the celebrity to clear his name.
There were a large number of fans and reporters gathering outside the police station. The police could only ask them to disperse and gave them a warning not to disturb the peace and the investigation.
Yan Yi Xie walked back and forth in the investigation room and bit at his nails.
After a few days, he no longer look like the Yan Yi Xie that his fans once knew. Everything about him was in a mess.
He was put behind the bars and could only talk to his lawyer. He did not know what was going on outside. Without knowing the situation outside, how could he make any move?
His steps halted once he heard the movement coming from the door.
Yan Yi Xie turned around and saw that it was the captain who had detained him at the broadcasting station the other day. Behind the captain was his lawyer.
The captain gave him a look over before motioning him to sit down. Meanwhile, his lawyer continued to stay silent. His gaze on Yan Yi Xie was unreadable.
"Officer,
" Yan Yi Xie lurched forward but did not dare to get too close to the policeman.
"You have to help me. I was framed! I would never do anything that would harm another.
"
The captain leaned back on his seat and looked at the celebrity with a lazy gaze.
"Alright. You can stop shouting around. Nothing you say was going to change anything.
"
Yan Yi Xie's stared at the captain sharply.
"Are you planning to detain me without evidence? You can't do this. This is a misuse of power!
"
The captain slammed the document in his hand on the table loudly, making Yan Yi Xie startle.
"I ask you to sit down, what are you doing? Do you think that we have that much time to play around with you? Let me tell you this... Mr. Yan, we have concrete evidence of your crime.
"
"It was a lie! You shouldn't trust the evidence! Someone must have planted those evidence to frame me.
"
"Your Assistant had already confessed and cooperate with us.
"
What did the police had said? His assistant? Ah Wei?
Yan Yi Xie suddenly remember that he was unable to contact his assistant briefly before he was arrested. He did not expect that Ah Wei would betray him.
The police opened the brown envelope and pulled out the evidence.
"What more can you say?
"
Yan Yi Xie's eyes flickered as he looked at those documents. They were all evidence and transactions of his dealing with the thugs.
A loud gasp escaped him upon seeing that the transaction was dated for years back.
Yan Yi Xie would never think that the group of thugs would be keeping trails that would lead the police to him.
Those stupid thugs! Why would they keep anything like this?
Yan Yi Xie was furious! However, what could he do or say to defend himself?
"Mr. Yan,
" the lawyer spoke the first time since he entered the room.
"I suggest you cooperate with the police. To be honest, with your current situation, not many wanted to take your case. The evidence against you is too strong. Perhaps, if you confess, your punishment would go lighter.
"
