I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 155 - 144: It’s on Fire

"The murderer has been arrested. His name is Mei Bai, and he’s an architect."

"Pfft, I have no interest in the past of a killer. I just want to know about the future, will he be executed or not?"

"Certainly, the evidence is conclusive," he said with a laugh.

"That’s good... At least my beating wasn’t for nothing. It’s just a pity it’s not ancient times. If it were, I’d really want to whip him back, let him know the torture he put me through..."

"..."

She looked at him and said, "I heard that you all haven’t slept for the past few days either. Are there any procedures left to handle?"

"It’s just this statement. Take a look. We’re lucky you found a chance to dial 110 with your phone. That’s how we were able to find you. Even though we don’t know who actually made the call, we’ve checked all the 110 emergency calls from that time and indeed found this suspicious person."

Fang Zongli heard that her call was indeed useful and chuckled, "Of course. With my wits, that bastard was never going to beat me. He miscalculated by not killing me directly."

"..."

Lu Lizhe finished taking the statement and left.

It was then that Mu Qianli came in and hugged Fang Zongli, saying, "You’re really fine, as I said. A scourge lives for a thousand years; you’re not going to die so easily."

"You..."

Fang Zongli looked at her speechlessly, "You must have been scared these past few days."

"Not too bad. But I do think Lu Lizhe had it quite tough. You should thank him once you’re discharged."

"Why would he have it tough?"

"We didn’t believe his suspicions before, and you gave him quite a hard time. But I heard that this time, the higher-ups didn’t want him to come and give you close protection. After all, he is a team leader. And your case was only a suspicion, we weren’t certain that person was connected to the serial killings. Yet, Lu Lizhe insisted."

"So, how come he still came to protect me?"

"He took leave on his own and used his personal time to protect you."

"..."

Fang Zongli was unexpectedly stunned.

Why is this person so stubborn...

The case was finally solved.

Mu Qianli left the place and saw a message from Pei Jinxi.

"I just left the hospital. Don’t worry, Fang Zongli is fine, and so am I."

Pei Jinxi said, "That’s good."

"Mhm, I’ll rest a bit then get back to work. You take care with your filming."

These few days felt like a dream, but luckily everything was over now.

Mu Qianli soon returned to the company.

Xiao Wan said, "Sister Qianli, you’re finally here. The folks from National Detective just came looking for you."

"They were looking for me?" Mu Qianli was somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, yeah, they want you to participate. Wow, Sister Qianli, you’re truly on fire, getting more variety show invitations than celebrities."

It was a national variety show, one season a year, with only top stars participating. Who would have thought they’d invite her this time?

She was also taken aback, and Xiao Wan hurriedly said, "Hurry up, the producer is waiting for you inside."

Inside, the big producer from Fruit Platform saw Mu Qianli and immediately said, "Qian Li, you have to save the show this time. We’re starting to shoot next week and are missing one guest. You’re the best candidate I could think of."

Mu Qianli asked, "Why... would you think of me? I’m not a celebrity."

"Average celebrities don’t have your level of fame these days, plus you’re a hot topic. Don’t you realize how famous you’ve become?"

"..."

She was an agent. Since when did she need to worry about being famous?
