Ye Jing was so frightened that her blood pressure soared.
In all these years, she had managed many artists, both famous and not, and it wasn't as if none of them had ever collapsed or retired from the entertainment circle.
However, she had truly never managed one who ended up eating prison food.
She knew Lu Ling had been acting crazy lately, but could she really be this crazy?
Being taken away by the police on the first day of joining the program, who was she trying to scare to death?
Hao Dou sighed and gave a rough account of what had happened.
In the end, he added.
"Sigh! The main thing is that ancestor Lu Ling just can't keep her mouth shut."
"She talks about pulling off a big job with the robber, and then she's acting like brothers with the robber."
"You tell me, with all that, how could the police not misunderstand?"
Ye Jing was anxious and angry, "Since you knew it was a misunderstanding, why didn't you help Lu Ling explain it to the police?"
"How did I not explain?" Hao Dou sounded wronged.
"I'm standing right outside the police station now, and the police comrade said they would investigate it thoroughly and told me not to interfere."
"What can I do?"
"I can only wait!"
"Sigh... forget it, forget it, I'm going to the temple next door to burn some incense and pray to the Bodhisattva."
Ye Jing: "..."
...
Inside the police station.
Lu Ling and the robber were taken to different interrogation rooms.
The police held a brief meeting.
Ten minutes later, the interrogation began.
Interrogation Room One:
The robber was relatively cooperative.
"Name?"
"Li Dayong."
"Gender?"
"Male."
"Age?"
"38."
"What do you do for a living?"
"Un... unemployed."
"Who do you have in your family?"
"Just me."
The police officer looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Li Dayong: "Really, just me."
"What is your understanding of your own actions?"
"First of all, I want to thank the police comrade..."
"Stop!" The police officer looked helpless.
"This is not a commendation meeting, you can skip that, please give an honest account."
"Okay... okay!" Li Dayong agreed quickly.
But that was all he did—agree.
After agreeing, he fell silent.
"Bang!" The police officer slammed the table.
"We have already retrieved the bank surveillance footage and have obtained evidence of your crime."
"If you confess voluntarily, you might still have a chance at lenient treatment."
Hearing this, Li Dayong swallowed nervously.
"I... I'll talk."
Li Dayong honestly confessed the entire process of robbing the bank, one detail at a time.
The entire interrogation process took less than twenty minutes.
It went very smoothly.
Before finishing, the police officer suddenly remembered something.
"Do you know Lu Ling?"
Li Dayong: ?
Police: "The Didi driver who was driving you just now."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Dayong's expression changed instantly.
His face was full of annoyance.
But in the end, he opened his mouth and said.
"I don't know her."
"Are you sure you don't know her? Think carefully before you answer."
Li Dayong: "I don't know her, I just met her when I hailed a ride."
...
Next door, in the second interrogation room.
"Name?"
"No, police comrade, this is really a misunderstanding, I am just an actress."
The police officer （ looked serious ）: "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, we will find out for ourselves."
"Answer whatever you are asked."
"Name?"
Lu Ling: "..."
"Lu Ling."
"Age?"
"...22."
"Confess honestly, what have you done?"
Lu Ling: "..."
She sighed, "Police comrade, I really don't know that robber."
Lu Ling explained how the variety show premiered in the morning, how the guests drew lots to choose their professions for the day, how she drew Didi driver, and then started working.
Then she mentioned learning from the walkie-talkie that Jiang Yuanyuan was being tested by the program group.
Then she picked up the passenger who was the robber, and finally, because of a misunderstanding, ended up here.
She detailed everything that happened from beginning to end.
After listening, the police fell into silence.
Could it really be a misunderstanding?
Does this actress really have nothing to do with the robber?
"When did you discover the robber's true identity?"
"When he took off his mask and sunglasses."
"You could tell just by him taking off his mask and sunglasses?"
"Yes, I could tell from his physiognomy," Lu Ling explained.
"Besides being an actor, I am also a metaphysician, and I can read physiognomy."
As soon as she said this, both the interrogating officer and the recording officer laughed.
"What era is this, and you're still engaging in feudal superstition."
Lu Ling: "Everything I said is true."
Both police officers: "..."
"Then, since you could tell he was a robber, why did you help him escape all the way from the city center to the suburbs?"
Lu Ling: "There were so many people coming and going in the city center, and he was carrying a weapon. What if he had hurt a passerby?"
The two police officers looked at each other.
Lu Ling continued: "I had a live broadcast running in my car, you can check the playback. With my driving skills, I could have easily shaken off the police car once I left the city."
"But I kept a distance of one to three meters from you the whole time."
"Once we reached a suitable location and I calculated the distance, I stopped the car in time, subdued the criminal, and handed him over to you."
"..."
Police: "What you said makes a lot of sense."
"But why did you do this?"
Lu Ling: "For justice."
