Gu Sisi held her breath. After waiting for a while to confirm that he was really asleep, she slowly stretched out her unconstrained left hand, trying to pick out the ball of paper with her fingers.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to touch it, Huo Cheng rolled over and pinned Gu Sisi under him.
The steady sound of breathing came again. She stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling helpless.
As soon as she moved, the person on top of her suddenly opened his eyes. His bottomless eyes stared straight at her as he asked, "What are you going to do?"
Gu Sisi felt as if her soul had been captured by that look. She replied blankly, "I want to go to the toilet."
Huo Cheng raised his eyebrows and rolled over. Gu Sisi suddenly felt the weight on her body lighten.
She got up hesitantly and glanced at Huo Cheng. He still had his eyes closed gently.
She got up quietly and walked to the bathroom. After thinking for a long time inside, she still didn't come up with a good solution.
"Forget it." Just as Gu Sisi was about to give up, she opened the door and walked out.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. Now that Huo Cheng's breathing was steady, wasn't this the best opportunity to act?
Due to the previous failures, Gu Sisi decided to act quickly this time. Without hesitation, she picked up the ball of paper that she had tried so hard to get back just now.
Gu Sisi was still surprised. It took her a while to react, and then she quickly opened the door and walked out.
If she waited for Huo Cheng to wake up, things might take a turn for the worse.
Gu Sisi sneaked out furtively. She didn't know that just after she gently closed the door, the man inside suddenly opened his eyes.
Huo Cheng not only saw the piece of paper but also guessed its meaning.
The sound of police sirens rang out on the set. Gu Sisi looked at Director Lu standing at the door of the workshop in confusion and asked, "What's going on?"
Behind Director Lu stood policemen in uniforms.
How could Gu Sisi understand? Just now, Director Lu, who had been directing the play, suddenly left midway and handed the work to the assistant director. Just as she got off the set, Director Lu was standing here.
Before Director Lu could answer, several policemen rushed out and detained Gu Sisi. She looked confused and panicked, not knowing what was going on.
When passing by Director Lu, Director Lu whispered, "Sorry, I found a bag of white crystalline substances on your table and have handed them over to the police."
Gu Sisi's body was held by the policemen. Her face was full of anxiety. She turned back and asked, "What white substances? I don't know anything about them."
"You know." With that, she was locked into the police car by the policemen. Just as the car door was about to close.
A complex look flashed in Director Lu's eyes. When he accidentally saw this bag of things on Gu Sisi's table, he was entangled. At first, when he received this news, he didn't believe it. But when the evidence was right in front of him, he wavered. After struggling in his heart, he finally made up his mind to hand it over to the police station.
Sure enough, the police station said that the preliminary inspection showed that it was drugs. They said they wouldn't alert the suspect and had been waiting at the door of Gu Sisi's lounge.
The other staff members still maintained the posture of looking out, with a look of confusion in their eyes.
"Director, what just happened?" Someone quickly asked Director Lu to confirm the situation.
"What's going on?" The on - looking crowd began to chatter.
Director Lu shook his head and said, "Don't try to find out about this. It will have a negative impact on our crew."
It was as if the mute button had been pressed. Once a matter involved their own interests, it became a taboo topic for them.
Everyone immediately stopped discussing.
Just as they were about to turn the page on this incident, a voice rang out, stopping a group of people who were about to leave.
"Slow down!"
Hearing this voice, the panicked Gu Sisi seemed to have grabbed a life - saving straw. She cried for help, "Save me! I don't know what's going on!"
The policemen detaining Gu Sisi looked back. It was a man.
The man looked at them coldly, which made them extremely unhappy.
"No matter who you are, you have no right to interfere with our work!" A hot - tempered policeman said righteously.
Gu Sisi was sweating all over at this time. She didn't know why things had suddenly developed into this situation.
Without knowing the situation, Gu Sisi didn't want him to get involved. She shook her head silently, with pleading in her eyes.
But Huo Cheng seemed not to see it. He stepped forward, raised his eyebrows and said, "What if this matter is related to me?"
The on - looking crowd let out a gasp. From their direction, they could only see the back of this man. They had no idea who this person was. Things had developed to this point, which made people extremely curious. They all quietly watched the commotion.
Gu Sisi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She didn't want Huo Cheng to get involved at this time.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure emerging from the crowd - Ouyang Xin. Her heart skipped a beat. Ouyang Xin must be the only one who knew who Huo Cheng was now and would believe that he wouldn't do such a thing.
Her eyes were full of pleading as she gave Ouyang Xin a hint. In the crowd, someone noticed this eye contact and tightly clenched their palm, with their fingernails digging into the flesh of the palm.
Ouyang Xin received Gu Sisi's hint. He smiled slightly, walked out of the crowd, put his hand on Huo Cheng's back, and looked at the policemen beside the police car apologetically and said, "Sorry! My brother is probably crazy about love."
The policemen looked puzzled.
"You know, it's just this kind of thing between men and women." Ouyang Xin tightened his grip and looked at Huo Cheng.
But Huo Cheng didn't accept Ouyang Xin's hint. He removed his hand, looked at the policemen, and said seriously word by word, "If you conduct a thorough inspection, you will surely be able to detect the fingerprints on it. Then you can verify whether what I said is true or false, right?"
Gu Sisi looked at Huo Cheng's confident smile and shook her head in disbelief.
This incident was similar to the previous one. Gu Sisi was almost certain that this was a repeat of that incident. But why was Huo Cheng involved in this matter?
The impatient police officer tilted his head back and said to the people behind him in a bad tone, "Arrest him too!"
Gu Sisi could only watch in stunned silence as Huo Cheng was obediently detained and taken into the police car.
In the car, the two couldn't talk. After entering the police station, Gu Sisi sat blankly in the interrogation room. Everything seemed like a dream.
Gu Sisi's eyes were hazy. She didn't know how much time had passed. A police officer came in, unlocked the handcuffs on Gu Sisi's hands, and said coldly, "You can go."
Gu Sisi came back to her senses. She quickly grabbed the policeman in front of her and asked, "What about the other one? The one who came with me!"
She gestured as she spoke.
The impatient policeman who was being grabbed by her pulled Gu Sisi's hand away and left with a sentence, "What are you thinking? Of course, those who do bad things can't get away!"
Gu Sisi's hands were empty, and her heart also felt inexplicably lost.
She walked around outside the police station for a while, and finally ran away without looking back.
No! She must think of a way now. She couldn't let Huo Cheng be framed. Originally, he should have nothing to do with this matter.
Instead of returning to the set, Gu Sisi went back to the Huo Mansion and paced anxiously in the living room, waiting.
"Sister - in - law, what's wrong?" Jiang Lihao had just come from the hospital. When he heard Gu Sisi's panicked voice, he rushed over without stopping.
"Madam?" Chen Fang also rushed over at this time.
