Chapter 234 Mastermind

Tang Xia already had an idea about what was going on. Her first instinct was that Li Xianxian had done this. This explained why a bunch of people would barge into her fan meeting. It was all because of her. Just thinking about it was funny enough.

She picked up her phone and called Li Xianxian directly. As she listened to the beeping tone, she felt that this wait was particularly long. After staying silent for a while, she heard a clicking sound through the phone. “Hello?”

Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the line, Tang Xia asked immediately, “Did you do all this?”

The other party was obviously dumbfounded. Li Xianxian asked in shock, “Did I do what? What happened?”

Tang Xia snorted. At this point in time, this gal was still trying to act dumb. Li Xianxian, Li Xianxian… Why did you end up not having any other skills but a perfect ability to act dumb? She could not hold back her laughter.

“I don’t believe that you didn’t go on Weibo today.” Tang Xia’s voice became calm gradually. She already had some answers in her heart. She was afraid that, no matter how she questioned her today, she would deny this.

The truth proved that Tang Xia was right. Li Xianxian asked in a confused voice, “Weibo? I didn’t check Weibo the whole day! What happened exactly?”

Tang Xia snorted. What a joke! Even if Li Xianxian had not checked Weibo, Tang Xia did not believe that she had not heard! Her assistant Linda would be running after her to tell her the good news.

“Li Xianxian, no matter how much you deny it, this incident definitely had something to do with you. Did you think you wouldn’t be exposed? Did you think that your plan was flawless?”

The woman on the other end of the line had already been silent for a while now. Li Xianxian was currently on the verge of breaking down. Upon listening to Tang Xia’s words, she started to panic.

Suddenly, Li Xianxian shouted, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! No matter how many times you say it, I’ll tell you plainly: This had absolutely nothing to do with me!”

“I didn’t expose myself, nor was there any flaw. You won’t be able to find one, no matter what you do! Tang Xia, just admit it! You dug your own grave and now you can’t run away from it!”

While listening to Li Xianxian get flustered out of fear of being caught, Tang Xia could not help but laugh. Her subtle laughter was heard clearly on the other end of the line. Li Xianxian exploded instantly and hung up.

Upon hearing the buzzing sound through her phone, Tang Xia felt a stronger urge to laugh. Li Xianxian had already exposed herself.

She turned around and put down her phone. It seemed like she would need to make a trip to the company to discuss this with July. Thus, she changed clothes and headed downstairs to drive to the company.

The people all around saw Tang Xia taking big strides into the office and started to point fingers at her as they whispered among themselves. After experiencing the previous incident, Tang Xia was already used to it. This bunch of people was always so easily swayed. They would blindly accept and follow whatever society was talking about.

No matter what the news said, if the majority believed it, then it had to be true.

She headed straight towards July’s office. When she pushed open the door, she saw July walking back and forth anxiously while talking on the phone. She turned around immediately when she heard noise at the door.

Upon seeing that it was Tang Xia, she ran towards her and grabbed her hand. “What do you think we should do this time? How did things end up like this?”

It was heaven one minute and hell the next.

Tang Xia, who had really experienced the big tides of life, was also helpless. She had already gotten used to this feeling. Thus, she comforted July by patting her hand. “No worries. I’m 80 to 90% sure that Li Xianxian had something to do with this.”

July nodded. She thought so too. Although she was not sure what had happened between them, based on what had happened in the Garden of Eden alone, Li Xianxian already had enough motivation to do this.

As the two of them were brainstorming and looking for ideas, July smiled suddenly. “Right! The bunch of people who were caught at the venue were involved too!”

Tang Xia, who also had a big realization, patted her forehead. “Right, we still have them. Let’s go now! We might be able to find evidence that points to Li Xianxian!”

July thought so too. Thus, she nodded. Then, she turned around, picked up her coat, pulled Tang Xia’s hand and ran out of the room.

The duo drove and reached the police station in no time. A police officer led them in. Before they even pushed open the door, they already heard a quarrel happening inside.

When they listened carefully, they realized that this was the bunch of people who had caused a scene. They were talking about what had happened at the venue. “Tang Xia planned all of this!”

Another person echoed, “Yes, yes, yes! That’s right, that’s right! Tang Xia planned all of this! It was her!”

The police officer frowned. “Why would she hire you guys to harm her fans for no reason?”

The troublemakers slammed the table and said angrily, “Didn’t you see her anxious reaction? She did this to show how good she treats her fans, yet she still blamed everything on Li Xianxian!”

The police officer frowned. Actually, he had also watched the broadcast, so he naturally knew what had happened between the two women.

Tang Xia pushed open the door and entered slowly. When the bunch of troublemakers saw her, they all pointed towards her and shouted, “Yes, yes, yes! She was the one that hired us! We only did what we were paid to do!”

The police officer frowned. After staying silent for a while, he turned around and pointed to a chair beside him. Tang Xia sat down politely. “I wonder if Miss Tang has anything to explain? They’re all accusing you of hiring them to do this.”

Tang Xia was silent at the moment. She was currently feeling an inexplicable helplessness.

Suddenly, she could not hold back her laughter anymore. She stood up and turned around to look at the bunch of troublemakers before she sent a slap across someone’s face. That person jumped directly and said, “What are you doing?”

However, Tang Xia was still laughing. “What am I doing? You were the one who asked me to hit you!” That person obviously had not realized what was going on. Thus, he pushed away Tang Xia instantly. “What are you talking about? I asked you to hit me? Am I crazy?”

Tang Xia stumbled a little from the push before her face broke into a smile. “Didn’t you ask me to hit you to show how evil I am and make you guys look even more innocent?”

July and the police officer were dumbfounded. Meanwhile, these people stayed silent. She also suddenly realized what this move meant.

She was trying to replicate what had happened at the venue. That slap was akin to hiring them to pour paint. The troublemakers could not keep still. “You were the one who hired us! Don’t try to change the topic!”

July sighed. She believed Tang Xia, but not everyone was willing to do the same. As the situation worsened, they heard a slam from the door. Tang Xia turned around in surprise and saw that it was Ye Yifan!

What was he doing here? Ye Yifan walked towards them and, without saying anything, he pulled out one of them and said, “Take out your phone.”

That person’s face stiffened. “Why would I give it to you? Who are you?” However, Ye Yifan was obviously not going to waste any time on him. He gave him a punch that sent him falling to the ground directly.

The surrounding people were all shocked, especially Tang Xia. She was so shocked that she was at a loss for words. However, she eventually went over to stop him. “What are you doing? This is a police station!”

Ye Yifan glanced at her but did not say anything. Tang Xia was a little worried that the police would arrest him. After all, he had punched someone in front of the police.

However, the police took on the role of the peacemaker and approached him and grabbed his hands. “Aiya, Master Ye, please calm down.”

Tang Xia was dumbfounded. The surrounding troublemakers, who had not expected this either, all froze instantly. Had they just offended someone with powerful authority?

Tang Xia also wondered to herself what kind of authority his family had. The police did not even care that he had beaten up someone. Instead, they had laughed it off.

The troublemakers were a little scared. After weighing the pros and cons, the guy ended up taking out his phone. Upon seeing the police officer’s attitude, they realized that this guy could not be messed with. After all, they were just working for the money. Luckily, he was already prepared.

Ye Yifan snatched his phone directly and opened it. Tang Xia, who was also a little curious, went over to take a look. The police officer was also a little curious. After all, this was his case. The phone had not crossed his mind at all before he went over directly to take a peek.

When Ye Yifan opened the contacts, Tang Xia froze instantly. The police officer’s face fell too. What was going on?

He stared at the screen, which showed that the last few calls had all been with Tang Xia. He naturally panicked a little as he looked at Ye Yifan. Ye Yifan, on the other hand, remained silent.

Tang Xia immediately turned to look at the troublemakers and saw that the man had a confident smile on his face. Tang Xia understood immediately. This incident definitely had something to do with him.

Tang Xia turned around immediately and snatched the phone. Ye Yifan did not say anything. He just let her be.

However, the police officer frowned. Was she going to destroy the evidence? Just as he was about to go and snatch it, he caught a glance of Ye Yifan, who was looking at him. Shocked, he went back to his place obediently.

Tang Xia looked through the call history carefully. The calls dated back to more than three days ago. It seemed like this had been planned for quite a while now. In an instant, she felt a gush of anger coming from within her.

She got a shock when she opened the phone. She looked at the phone number, but it was obviously not hers! She could not help but turn around and look at Ye Yifan.

However, Ye Yifan did not say anything. He stared at the phone, signaling at her to continue looking. Tang Xia pressed the call button and put it on loudspeaker. The surrounding troublemakers started to look uneasy.

Tang Xia looked at their reaction and laughed immediately. The big stone in her heart was finally lifted off. The call was connected suddenly and a woman’s voice was heard saying, “Has everything been taken care of?”
