About him I have a crush on

Chapter 9 Catching the Wind
The truth trapped in the barrier of lies, although it seems like a pool of still water without waves, unknowingly, it flows quietly to the outside world along the cracks in the barrier.The truth flowed out like this little by little, and the gaps in the barriers gradually expanded. Unknowingly, the seemingly incomparably strong barriers were finally washed away, and a strong current rushed out instantly.

"Do me a favor." Yami put the freshly brewed coffee on Xiao Qiao's table.

"Yo yo, what's wrong?"

"Help me get the surveillance video at the end of Renmin Road around ten o'clock last night."

"You are an entertainment newsman, why do you care about the murder case? Could it be that the person involved is a big star?"

"No, it's my boyfriend."

"What?" Xiao Qiao almost spit out the coffee, "But it's not right, won't the police show you the surveillance cameras when they make inquiries?"

"I saw it, but he drove into a utility pole, not a person. But that location is a dead corner of the surveillance, and he seems to have crashed into a wire. The video after that is gone. Now all the evidence They all point to hit-and-run, and I want to use the surveillance at that time to see if there are any witnesses."

"OK, I'll get it for you right away." Xiao Qiao quickly used her three-inch tongue as a reporter from the social department and started making calls.

"To be honest, in such a cold day, who would go for a walk on the road at night." Xiao Qiao felt drowsy watching the video, and couldn't help but mutter.

"What if."

"Since the surveillance didn't capture it, there is no evidence. If you can't find it, you can only release him. Don't worry."

"It didn't exist in the first place," Yami said suddenly, "it's not because there is no evidence."

"It's not like you," Xiao Qiao sat up straight, "Isn't your Yuji saying 'if there is, there is no evidence'?"

"We..." Yami suddenly pressed pause while speaking, "Look here, there are people!"

Xiao Qiao lay down on the screen and looked at it for a long time, "This person... looks like Lu Xiuyuan." She didn't notice that Yami's face changed at all, and said while wiping the screen with her finger, "Speaking of which, back then I like him very much. He is good-looking, and he can sing well, he is an idol and capable at the same time."

"Um……"

"Hey, but he has to go drunk and drive, and now he can't even see a person. I don't know how many girls' hearts have been hurt."

"Hmm..." Yami responded, "So, can I get Lu Xiuyuan's address?"

"Shouldn't your entertainment department find it better than our social department?" Xiao Qiao was still immersed in the memories of the past, "You really want to find him, take me with you. I told the minister to let me be in charge of following him. In this case, it will be justifiable for us to go to him."

"Honey, I'm on business, not to meet him for a celebrity meeting." Yami pinched Xiao Qiao's face, "But, please lend me your work ID."

The so-called end of Renmin Road refers to the edge of the city.When Yami was struggling to find the uneven path, she regretted wearing a pair of high heels.

However, when someone came towards him, Yami quickly stood up straight and put the press card on his chest. "Master, I'm a reporter from the social department of City A Metropolis Daily. I heard that there was a car accident in your place last night. I want to find out about the situation."

"You're late." The old man stopped in his tracks. "The police and reporters came here in the morning. I think the newspapers are about to be printed by now."

"Yeah." Yami smiled, "But I heard that the perpetrator seems to be unsure. Is there anyone around you who saw the car accident and could be a witness?"

"Oh, it's such a cold day, who walks on the main road in the middle of the night." The old man said and looked at the residential area by the roadside, "But you can ask Xiao Yuan, he comes back very late every day .”

"Xiaoyuan?"

"It's the first building over there, on the first floor. I don't know his name, anyway, you can call him Xiaoyuan."

Yami thanked the teacher and walked towards the building.Is that person in the surveillance really Lu Xiuyuan?

If it was Lu Xiuyuan, he must hate her to the core.

At that time, Yami hadn't mixed up enough to be able to hide in the office with the air conditioner to write articles. At that time, no matter whether it was rainy or rainy, as a small reporter of the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment, she had to go outside to meet celebrities and be a paparazzi.But after following him for more than half a year, he didn't come up with any shocking news.Yami felt that he was about to lose his job.

Until that day, she encountered a car accident.

In fact, it's not a big deal, a car accidentally rubbed against the guardrail on the side of the road when making a sharp turn.But it was the rush hour at that time, as soon as he braked, he honked his horn soon after.The police came and knocked on the window, and the owner of the car made gestures inside to explain something, but the police did not approve.After a while, the car door opened, and a boy wearing sunglasses came out.

After he got off the car, he was still trying to talk to the traffic police. Yami got impatient and got out of the car and urged, "What's going on, the back is blocked."

"That's right, move the car quickly," the traffic policeman continued, "Then come and check for drunk driving."

"I didn't," he said in a very nice voice, "I just turned around in a hurry. I really have something else to do. Just pay a fine and let me go."

"Hey, it hit so hard." Yami walked to the front, took out her mobile phone and snapped a photo.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The traffic police came over.

"Take a picture and show it to the leader. I was late because I crashed." Yami muttered while taking pictures, "I said this road is so big, why did you bump your head on it?"

"That's right." The traffic policeman echoed, "And this new law has just come out. Alcohol testing is required in any accident. You should drive the car over quickly."

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the Social Department of City Daily. I heard..."

"I know." The person leaning against the door interrupted her.He seemed to be very tired, leaning lazily on the door frame, rubbing his eyes with his hands, and then looked at Yami's name tag, "So your surname is Joe, I thought your surname was Jia."

Sure enough, it was remembered.

A person who has completely changed his life can remember it for a lifetime even if it is just one side.

"24 mg, just over." The traffic policeman spread his hands, "There is no way."

"But I didn't drink." He still refused to admit it.

"Let me see, let me see," Yami leaned closer, "I haven't seen a tester yet."

Click.

"It's amazing, it was detected in one go."

Click.

"I said it's not right that you bumped so hard."

Click.

"Aren't you going to be late, what are you still doing here?" The traffic police started to chase people away.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving." Yami put away her phone and left contentedly.

"I just ate a few bonbons, it's a little too much, doesn't it matter?" The boy thought for a while and said.

"Exceeding is exceeding." The traffic police have already started to write the list.

"I'm applying for a blood test."

But Yami didn't hear these words, she thought wholeheartedly that she should start a new life.

The next day, the headline on the front page of City A's Metropolitan Daily revealed that the popular singer Lu Xiuyuan and the new actress Xia Dongyao went out on a date and were arrested for drunk driving.

Chief note taker, Yami.

The exposure of the relationship made the fans of the two parties wail, and the arrest of drunk driving hit the cusp of the strict crackdown in 2011, which attracted fierce condemnation from supporters of traffic safety.

It also involved the newcomer Xia Dongyao that the company strongly advocated. Facing the dissatisfaction of the masses, Lu Xiuyuan's agency just strongly denied the relationship between the two to the fans, and it seemed that they were powerless against the drunk driving incident.

In the Internet rumors, the incident turned into a drunk driving with a rich second generation and an actress. It was also said that the traffic jam caused by this caused an ambulance to be blocked. The patient died because the rescue was not in time.After he promised to pay compensation, the family recorded a video and complained tearfully about this behavior of "thinking that money can solve everything".

Lu Xiuyuan's reputation dropped to freezing point, and then the concert was forced to be cancelled, the commercial endorsement was withdrawn, and after the media followed for a while, he was attracted by new gossip, and he gradually faded out of people's sight.

"Do you think I'll help you?" Lu Xiuyuan said lazily with his hands in his only pocket, still leaning against the door.

"I saw you appear at the scene of the crime around eight o'clock on the surveillance. You should have seen that the person just hit the electric pole and didn't hit anyone." Yami began to lobby, "I hope you can testify for him. After all, there is only one eyewitness now, if you don’t testify, you will not only wrong the good guy, but also let the murderer go unpunished.”

"Wronged a good man?" Lu Xiuyuan sneered, "How could he crash into a utility pole when he was driving so well?"

"he……"

He said he saw a cat in front of him and wanted to go around it, but he hit the cat as soon as he stepped on the gas pedal.

"Drink too much."

At that time, they were attending a wedding in Linshi, and they did drink a few glasses of wine, but they were so far away, they couldn't just throw away the car.Yami persuaded her at the time, and her boyfriend swore that there was no problem and he must drive, but unexpectedly something happened.

"Reporter Qiao, you should be very familiar with drunk driving, right? Aren't you very cynical? Can't you write thousands of words in eloquence to make a complaint? What's the matter now, transfer to the Ministry of Social Affairs, and start to help people get away with crimes?"

"I will also talk to the police about this matter, but can you..."

"No."

【[-]】

Yami crossed the muddy path with difficulty. She remembered that Lu Xiuyuan's family was very rich. Even if he stopped singing now, he wouldn't be so poor that he would sell his house and move to the suburbs.

Thinking about it, Yami took a quick look at Lu Xiuyuan on Baidu, and saw a fan posted a photo saying he heard him singing in a bar, and also posted a video.No wonder he was still outside so late, it turned out he was singing in a bar.It seems that he really broke up with the company.Yami sighed and clicked on the video.

Even if everything has changed, his voice is still as good as ever.

Before becoming a reporter, Yami was also madly infatuated with Lu Xiuyuan's voice, but after seeing a lot of celebrities, she thought that was the case, and only news, news, news was left in her mind.

Xiao Qiao's text message interrupted Yami's memory.

"I got Lu Xiuyuan's address."

What she gave was Lu Xiuyuan's previous address, but it was just an ordinary neighborhood.

"Hello, I want to ask Lu Xiuyuan..."

"Looking for Lu Xiuyuan again? He moved out a long time ago, moved away." The owner said as he was about to close the door.

"I'm a reporter." Yami locked the door.When ordinary people saw the opportunity to be on the news, they naturally became enthusiastic, let Yami into the house, and made her tea.

"Do you know who the original head of the household was?"

"It's just a very ordinary family." The owner said.

"Lu Xiuyuan is a star."

"What about the star? Don't his parents still work in the factory? We have been neighbors for more than ten years. When my son got married, we gave up the house and bought the house upstairs."

"Then, why did the Lu family sell the house?"

"Oh, it's also a crime. Didn't their Xiaoyuan have a car accident at that time, saying that an ambulance was stuck in a traffic jam, and the family insisted that it was Xiaoyuan's fault, and they came to the door every day to make noise. This place can't live anymore, so they want to sell the house. I just bought it." The owner smiled a little embarrassedly, "But after I moved in, I told them that Xiaoyuan had moved out , They still often come to the house to make trouble, and after the Lu family found out, they paid them all the house money, and they stopped."

"Then you just said, 'I'm looking for Lu Xiuyuan again', do you mean that there are other people looking for him?"

"Yes, fans. There are often letters, postcards, etc., saying that they hope he will come back, continue to sing, and will continue to like him. Young people nowadays are so crazy." The owner of the house He said complaining, but his eyes were a little happy, "But this child is quite poor, he is very nice, we live upstairs and downstairs, he has helped me a lot, but he happened to encounter such a thing Oh."

Such a thing--

At that time, Yami wanted to report this case as a drunken rich second generation, but because Lu Xiuyuan's family background was not found out, he had to give up.

At that time, seeing netizens fueling the flames, Yami was also very happy that her report could have such a big influence.At that time, she completely forgot about Lu Xiuyuan at that time, she just bumped into the guardrail.

【Wu】

"Why are you here?" Lu Xiuyuan looked impatient.

"Did you never feel that you did something wrong?" While Lu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, Yami squeezed in through the crack of the door. "I'd rather have a falling out with the company than go out and apologize. Have you never felt that you did something wrong?"

After coming out of the homeowner’s house, Yami felt that she was very sorry for Lu Xiuyuan, so she called her sister in the circle who was familiar with her, and wanted to express her feelings with her, but the sister said that Lu Xiuyuan refused to admit that he was wrong, and fell out with the company up.

The sympathy and apology that had just brewed in Yami's heart turned into a question.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiuyuan didn't seem to be overwhelmed by the question at all.He stared at Yami, leaned down little by little, and said word by word, "I still want to ask you this question?"

"what?"

"For your promotion, your bonus, and ruining other people's lives like this, don't you think you made a mistake?"

"I just exaggerated a little bit..."

Yami's voice weakened.Lu Xiuyuan has always presented himself as a gentle and artistic youth, until now Yami realized that his eyes could be so fierce.

"Is it just an exaggeration? You have been following my car closely. If it wasn't for getting rid of you, would I have turned so fast and rammed into it? You come down to take pictures as soon as something happens, reporter Qiao, you are really a good planner .”

If he didn't say it, she really forgot.

She thought that Lu Xiuyuan didn't know, and thought for a long time, even she herself regarded it as a coincidence favored by God.Just like what she wrote in the report, "The reporter of this newspaper encountered a car accident on the road, and the culprit turned out to be..."

But she did follow Lu Xiuyuan on purpose, because after hearing the rumors that Lu Xiuyuan and Xia Dongyao were dating, the newspaper asked her to follow Lu Xiuyuan and take pictures of the evidence.

When she got out of the car, she found that she still couldn't get a good picture of the faces inside, so she deliberately said to go up, saying that it was strange that Lu Xiuyuan bumped into him like this, so she walked to the front window to take pictures.

At that time, Yami wanted to take pictures of Xia Dongyao's face wholeheartedly, and inadvertently contributed to the flames, making the traffic police insist on testing for drunk driving.

Yes, she did it all on purpose.But it doesn't change the fact that Lu Xiuyuan drank alcohol.She just put it on the table.

"I apologize to you, but this is also part of my job, I hope you can understand."

"Part of your job? You are a reporter, you are reporting facts, not writing novels, and you are not always thinking about how to add fuel to the flames! I think you should go back to be an entertainment reporter. Anyway, you will harm the whole circle. You do social news. I really worry about this society!"

"Lu Xiuyuan, don't push yourself! Since you know that I'm following you and you don't want me to take pictures, you can tell the traffic police that you are a star and you don't want to be harassed. Let them stop me and deal with it. But you didn't, Because you wanted me to film it. You always wanted to make your relationship public, but your company didn't agree, and you couldn't bear such secrets, so you just took advantage of me."

Looking at Lu Xiuyuan's expression, Yami knew that she had guessed right.The elder sister said that Lu Xiuyuan liked Dongyao very, very much. They all thought that Lu Xiuyuan would definitely stay because of Dongyao, but in the end he didn't.But it doesn't matter anymore.

Yami added another fire. "I said Lu Xiuyuan, did you bump into it on purpose?"

"Nothing to say? Sure enough, it is. But you didn't expect that you would hit the cusp of the storm and be tested for drunk driving."

"I didn't drink." Lu Xiuyuan said.

"Don't admit it yet?"

"I did a blood test later, which proved that the alcohol content did not exceed the standard." Lu Xiuyuan said, "The company posted the report on the Internet, but the website was quickly hacked by anti. Of course, these people are procrastinators. You are blessed by reporter Joe."

"I have no idea……"

"Yeah, you reporters, don't you only see what you want?"

"I'm in entertainment news. There are so many celebrities in China, and so many news come out every day. We follow each of them from beginning to end. Are you busy?" Yami argued incoherently, "I admit that I did No, I did it on purpose, but I am changing, and I will change."

"Ah."

"So I hope you can testify for this case. If you don't stand up, what's the difference from me at that time?"

"That's good, I promise you."

【land】

Yami stayed up late yesterday to write a report, so she could only ask for leave in the morning to come to the police station. She stared at the clock for a long time, but she didn't wait for Lu Xiuyuan.

Yami had no choice but to go back to him again.But this time, no matter how she knocked on the door, Lu Xiuyuan ignored her.

"Lu Xiuyuan," Yami shouted, "Lu Xiuyuan, listen to my explanation."

no respond.On the contrary, the neighbor across the door yelled fiercely, "What's the noise?"

Only then did Lu Xiuyuan open the door and let her in, "What else do you want?" He said as he threw a stack of newspapers to Yami.

The top one is the entertainment version written by her, and it says in huge fonts - Singer Lu Cheyan is dating a girl from the same school, and his new girlfriend is suspected to be exposed.

What does Lu Xiuyuan mean to say that she created something out of nothing?The photos used in the report were sent by reporters on the field. Lu Cheyan has been popular for several years and has never had any scandals. This time, when the photos were taken, Yami naturally rushed to compose the article without even thinking about it.

"Thanks to you, although I have lost my career, at least I haven't lost my friends. That day was our school alumni dinner, and I went there too, with a lot of people together. Why did I become a date with you when I came here?"

"I'm only responsible for writing the report, and I'm following other reporters..."

"Oh, you're from the social department, and you're also in charge of writing entertainment articles?" Lu Xiuyuan asked back, "You're so tired, too, and you borrowed a card to act just to see my jokes? Let's go." You, don't come again." Lu Xiuyuan said and pushed her out.

"No, listen to my explanation, I'm for that case..."

"Do you think I'll trust you again?"

The boyfriend's case is still being investigated, and Yami can't help, so she starts her ordinary work again.At the annual meeting a month later, she was promoted to the director of the entertainment department, becoming the youngest director of the entire newspaper.

In the first issue of 2015, the Entertainment Edition of A City Metropolis Daily reported on Lu Xiuyuan’s drunk driving case four years ago in a double-page spread, releasing the liqueur chocolate inside when the reporter took the photo of the vehicle, and Lu Xiuyuan’s blood test at that time report, and admitted that the report back then was inaccurate, and apologized to Lu Xiuyuan.

The media really controls people's thinking to a great extent.As soon as the report came out, people seemed to have forgotten how they retweeted with righteous indignation back then. Lu Xiuyuan's previous songs were retweeted frantically. It was heard that several agencies wanted to sign him again.

But just as Yami expected, some people began to criticize them for their previous casualness, and Yami was also scolded by the leader of the newspaper office.Fortunately, more people agree with their attitude of seeking truth from facts.

The real culprit has been caught in the boyfriend's case, but he was detained for [-] days because he admitted to drunk driving. The original company fired him on this ground. Yami's work is getting busier and the distance between the two is getting closer. The farther away, the sooner they broke up.

Everything seems to be going in a different direction.

When Yami saw Lu Xiuyuan again, it was his new album launch.

In the elevator of the newspaper office, she heard a little girl excitedly say that she was going to interview Lu Xiuyuan later.Yami didn't know what was wrong, so she told her not to go, so she borrowed her microphone and called the photographer to set off together.

Lu Xiuyuan, who has returned to the music scene, has received more expectations and attention than before. Three years of experience have also allowed him to master different styles of music with ease.

The press conference is very lively now, and Yami, who hasn't talked to the scene for a long time, recalls the feeling of crowding around and asking questions back then.

"Isn't this Sister Yami?" Lu Xiuyuan's assistant was a little surprised when he saw Yami in the crowd, "Why did you come here in person, without saying a word, I will arrange an interview time for you later."

When Lu Xiuyuan saw Yami walk into the lounge, he was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then said to the people next to him: "You guys go to the side to rest for a while, I will have a chat with sister Yami alone."

"What did you call me?" Yami stopped.

"You are already the director, so of course you have to call me elder sister. Sister Yami will take care of you in the future."

"You should take more care of me and give it to me exclusively..."

This is probably the so-called "meeting and laughing away all grievances and enmity", because I have lived a better life, so all those things before can be forgotten.

Yami would not know that the day after she went to find Lu Xiuyuan, Lu Xiuyuan went to the police station to testify that Yami's boyfriend had been exonerated and was being detained because he was drunk, but he promised Lu Xiuyuan that he would not Tell Yami about this, and they didn't say anything until they broke up.

Lu Xiuyuan would not know that Yami went to report Lu Cheyan's speculative news so that he could be promoted to director quickly and he could decide the content of the page by himself.Any sane executive would not agree to overturn the case for an outdated artist for no reason, and might even risk his own reputation.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

"Enjoy your cooperation." Lu Xiuyuan stretched out his hand.
