Liang Yin was to be taken to the police station for investigation. Hua Jin dashed to Liang Yin’s room just as she was being led away by the police. The reason they took her was that she was the last person who saw the deceased alive. Upon seeing Hua Jin, the police recalled that he, too, had appeared in the surveillance footage. Hence, they took him with them as well.

The actor was taken away with Liang Yin for investigation. He did not return to the hotel for a day and a night.

Meanwhile, in the afternoon, the media, pissed off by the fans, scrambled to release solid evidence. It was said, after the police did a site survey, that all the evidence pointed to a suicide.

Unlocking the deceased cell phone which had fallen to the ground, they found a memo inside that said: Baby, Mommy is sorry!

The police suspected that she was pregnant. Later, following the Coroner’s autopsy report, this was confirmed. As to how far into pregnancy she was, this required further diagnosis through amniocentesis.

Originally, this was a straightforward suicide case that would not have attracted the media’s attention at all. Perhaps at best, it would have occupied an unnoticeable corner of the page. Every year the number of suicides climbed in a straight line graph. Not everyone who jumped would be given any attention. However, because of the hotel involved, the police needed to establish when the deceased had entered the venue and whom she had interacted with before she committed suicide. Hence they had to retrieve the surveillance footage from the hotel.

Alas, the surveillance footage revealed that the girl had had direct contact with Hua Jin before her death. In the footage, the girl had entered the hotel and made her way to the floor where Hua Jin’s room was. Somehow, she had been crouching in the corner of the corridor, holding her face in her hands and crying for a long time.

Until the actor and his assistant appeared on the screen later.

Surprised to see the girl crouched in the corner, Hua Jin went to her and held out a hand to help her up. The assistant behind him, however, was wary.

As soon as the girl saw Hua Jin, she suddenly appeared very excited and animated, as if she was desperate to express herself. However, the assistant behind him clearly disliked this girl and had repeatedly asked Hua Jin to ignore her. Except that the actor seemed undecided, a little hesitant. He looked at the girl, and seemed unable to bear it.

From an outsider’s point of view, it seemed that he had some inexplicable bond with this girl.

The media imagined that the two had some sort of relationship in the past. But that was only the media’s interpretation. But with the wide exposure that the video gained and the excessive interpretation of the media, it became quite convincing.

With the media giving direction, the story unfolded that way.

The girl was a fan of the actor. By chance, during a visit to the set, their eyes had locked and over time, the girl became his bedmate. According to investigations, the girl had been to the film studio many times and the last person she saw was Hua Jin.

The actor seemed to have shown concern towards her. However, the assistant behind him was clearly worried that this matter would blow up. Hence she kept urging Hua Jin to return to his room. He turned around and even spoke righteously to the girl.

Because the video did not include an audio track, the media interpreted that the assistant was threatening her.

Hua Jin was at the peak of his career. If someone were to use her pregnancy to blackmail him, it would definitely cause great damage to his reputation. Therefore, the assistant wanted to settle this matter privately.

Perhaps Hua Jin’s coldness had disheartened the girl. In the end, she chose to jump.
