Chapter 99 - Responsible
Lu Xun pushed the spectacle on the bridge of his nose.
Initially, he wanted to ask how did she figure out Bai Zhi's plan. It turned out that everything was a coincidence. A thought suddenly came to his mind. "Why were you at the hotel?"
Song Xing Xing recalled his meeting with Huo Yun Chen. Suddenly, she felt uneasy to continue to look at him. "I had a meeting with a friend."
A friend? A male friend or a female friend?
Lu Xun found that he did not want to know the answer. He quickly tried to think of something to change the subject. It was then that he recalled something in her words. "You said that you have cut ties with her? What happened?"
"This…" Song Xing Xing hesitated. She was not planning to tell anyone about that incident.
"Song Xing Xing, you have to tell me," Lu Xun said. "This is also regarding your safety."
A look of surprise appeared on her face. "How is this related to my safety?"
"After what had happened that night, your cousin, Song Yi had called and we had discussed a few things."
Song Xing Xing leaned forward as she listened. She was curious to know what Song Yi and Lu Xun had talked about and how does this related to her.
"Since you were the one who had reported to the security about what Miss Bai was trying to do, we are worried that she might find a chance to get back to you."
Her eyes widened as she heard his words. Song Xing Xing had never thought that Bai Zhi would want to get back at her for ruining her plan to drug Lu Xun.
But then again, this incident has made Bai Zhi lose everything that she had worked for. Bai Zhi had lost her role in Lu Xun's production drama. Her past deeds and her messy relationships with a few people were exposed. After this, she could no longer stand in the entertainment circle.
These days, everywhere she went, Bai Zhi would be scolded.
Song Xing Xing had known Bai Zhi from university. She knew that Bai Zhi dreamed of being one of the top actresses in the country.
Previously, the two of them had made plans together. Bai Zhi will act as the main actress in the work while Song Xing Xing will work behind the scene and make sure that her friend would look very good on screen.
However, this dream had long died after Bai Zhi had tried to set her up with some producer.
"A while ago, we heard that Miss Bai has been released on bail. Her parents came to bail her out," Lu Xun said. "Her parents had agreed to keep their eyes on her. However, Miss Bai managed to sneak out past them and she has been missing ever since."
Song Xing Xing remembered Bai Zhi's parents very much. They were a bunch of good people. The first time she met them was on the day she registered her college. Because of her identity, Song Xing Xing had refused to let her parents accompany her. It was Bai Zhi's parents who had offered to help her with all sorts of things.
Perhaps, it was because of her parents that Song Xing Xing became closer to Bai Zhi.
Years have passed and a lot of things have changed.
Lu Xun lowered his gaze and looked at the lazy cat in his arms. "Just now, I have asked the security to pay attention to Miss Bai. They reported that Miss Bai had shown up around your apartment a few times. The security had caught her trying to sneak into the building. They found her a little suspicious and had driven her away. However, I am worried that she will come again to look for you."
Song Xing Xing thought that it was possible that Bai Zhi would come and look for her. However, when she thought that Bai Zhi had come to get her revenge, Song Xing Xing started to panic a little bit.
At this time, Bai Zhi was not in the right state of mind. Who knew what she was going to do to her?
A person who had lost a lot of important things would not be afraid to do something crazy.
However, it was not her fault that Bai Zhi had lost everything. If only she did not commit any crimes, everything could still work out for her, right?
"I have talked to the guards to tightened the security around here. You shouldn't worry much if you are in your apartment or when you are in the studio," Lu Xun spoke. "However, we wouldn't know if Miss Bai would sneak to find you somewhere else."
They had worked with the authorities and used a few connections to find Bai Zhi. But so far, they haven't got any news.
Hearing this news, Song Xing Xing started to ponder whether she should go and stay with her cousin, Song Yi, for a few days. She would feel more at ease. But still, it was just like Lu Xun had said. Bai Zhi could always sneak on her somewhere else.
"What should I do?" Song Xing Xing mumbled to herself.
Lu Xun leaned forward with a serious look on his face.
"It is best if you don't leave your apartment until the authority found Miss Bai again.
"I can't stay in my apartment the whole time. I don't have a lot of day-offs left. Moreover, we still did not know how long Bai Zhi will be found again," Song Xing Xing spoke. "It's fine. It's fine. I'll just get a cab back and forth to the studio."
She had been considering this matter and knew that some things are not possible to do. As long as she was careful, everything will be alright, right?
"That won't work."
"Why not?"
"After we learned that Miss Bai had sneaked out away from her parents, your cousin, Song Yi, suggested telling your family about this matter."
"Ah!" Song Xing Xing stood up as she started to panic. "You can't tell them!"
If her mother heard anything about what happened and she might be in danger, her mother would definitely convince her father to drag her back to Y City!
"Un. I know that you wouldn't like this idea," Lu Xun said. "This is why I have made a suggestion to your cousin."
"What suggestion?" Seeing the look in his eyes, she suddenly had a bad hunch.
"Song Xing Xing." He looked at her face for a long time before he spoke again.. "Since you have saved me from that situation, I should be responsible for your safety."
