Speak of the Devil.
Before Xu Weilai could figure out how to seek Su Ziqian out, Su Ziqian had already taken the initiative to contact her.
A hint of amusement flashed across Xu Weilai’s eyes and she informed Qiao Chu over the phone, “I need to take a call. I’ll hang up first and call you back later.”
After Qiao Chu agreed and hung up, Xu Weilai answered Su Ziqian’s call.
Holding up the phone by her ear, Xu Weilai said softly, “Hello.”
“Is it Xu Weilai?”
Su Ziqian sounded rather anxious and nervous. Upon listening carefully, Xu Weilai could even hear the faint tremor in her voice. This was drastically different from the arrogant and gloating manner which she usually carried herself.
Xu Weilai acknowledged calmly, “Yes.”
She could hear Su Ziqian swallow hard on the other end of the line before she quickly revealed her identity, “I’m Su Ziqian.”
“I know.”
Xu Weilai had interviewed Su Ziqian when she just returned to China and had kept Su Ziqian’s contact number in her phone since then.

After a pause, she asked lazily, “What’s the matter?”
Despite her question, she could roughly guess that Su Ziqian had called her at such a time because of the recent trouble that she had caused.
As expected, Su Ziqian said, “I suppose you’ve read the news that was published today, haven’t you? I didn’t kill her. I’m innocent, but the police wouldn’t believe me. They said that they found concrete evidence and would arrest and detain me. I’m left with no choice but to ask for your help.”
Xu Weilai chuckled and raised her eyebrows as she asked, “Su Ziqian, you’re actually asking for my help despite our current relationship? Why should I? It’s already noble of me to not add insult to injury.”
Xu Weilai had been upset for quite some time because of the incident with Gu Yu. Su Ziqian had tried to utilize the incident with Yun Rou to sow discord between Gu Yu and her. At first, Xu Weilai had nothing against her, but after Su Ziqian’s relentless efforts to make things difficult for her, Xu Weilai found her rather hateful.
Su Ziqian’s began to breathe heavily as she apologized profusely, “Xu Weilai, I’m sorry. It was all my fault in the past. Please be magnanimous and help me out. You’re such a righteous person, so surely you wouldn’t want to see me being wronged, would you? You know best how it feels like to be maligned.”
Indeed, Xu Weilai had been accused of something that she had never done before and knew how terrible it felt. Moreover, as someone with a sense of justice, she was reluctant to see an innocent man being wronged while the actual culprit gets away with his crimes.
However, as she couldn’t tell if Su Ziqian was truly as innocent as she claimed, decided to refrain from jumping to conclusions easily.
With how Su Ziqian had treated Xu Weilai in the past, being an average person, it was only natural for her to hold a grudge against Su Ziqian and to be reluctant to help her investigate the matter. However, things were different this time, for it was a critical period for Xu Weilai.
She needed news that would make the headlines and Su Ziqian’s incident presented her with the perfect opportunity.
The reason why Su Ziqian’s murder case would gain traction online was that the victim was an extremely popular and pretty A-lister, Hu Kexin. Hu Kexin had a huge fanbase that vowed to get to the bottom of the matter of her sudden, untimely death. Thus, the issue blew up on Weibo within a short period of time and paralyzed the social networking platform multiple times.
Many of her fans were now demanding the murderer, Su Ziqian, to be arrested and to pay with her life.
All the media were focused on reporting the matter from this story angle and even if Xu Weilai were to cover the news, she would not be able to provide any fresh insight that could help her stand out among the competition and make a name for her media publication.
However, if she could find evidence to prove that Su Ziqian was really wronged, the plot twist would create the next hot topic and help her accomplish her goal.
