Bo Yan did not answer and then hung up the phone.

Shang Feifei frowned and shook her head. She also didn’t expect such an accident to happen. If Xia Siyu can’t attend tomorrow or misses the award because of this matter, what should be done?

Over here, the police had already detained the driver. Tools like machetes, electric batons, thumb-thick ropes, and adhesive tapes were found in his car, all indicating a malicious intent.

Meanwhile, journalists from all over heard the news and rushed over. The street was closed, traffic police guided congested vehicles to take detours and began dispersing the crowd at least from blocking the intersection.

Bo Yan also asked Wei Jingjing to send people to the hotel to communicate, hoping they could help retrieve surveillance records and arrange staff to assist in the investigation. Enthusiastic bystanders, hotel lobby attendants, and doormen from where Xia Siyu stayed, considered as eyewitnesses, also came over.

Xia Siyu and Bo Yan cooperated throughout, especially Xia Siyu, who stood straight with a calm expression, looking confident and unfazed, even when facing the comments of many onlookers and the flashes of media that arrived later. She also took a breathalyzer test to rule out drunk driving.

Bo Yan made several phone calls but remained by her side the entire time. However, due to the seriousness of the matter, she needed to be taken to the police station for investigation: "Miss Xia, please come with us."

Xia Siyu nodded, openly and fearlessly, having already reached this point, resisting was of no use. But as she nodded, a gust of wind blew by, and she suddenly felt a bit chilly.

When she went downstairs, it was just to "pick up a package," so naturally, she didn’t dress much—she just wore a tracksuit and sneakers and went out. During the earlier chase, she didn’t feel it, but now standing by the road being investigated, a breeze made her instantly feel a bit cold.

She slightly shivered, and Bo Yan, noticing this, quietly took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. When Xia Siyu looked up, Bo Yan was even pulling her hair out from inside the clothes, tidying it up for her. Then he smiled at her; though he didn’t speak, she understood that Bo Yan meant he’d be by her side.

Immediately, Xia Siyu also smiled. Ever since the incident occurred, she had remained calm, but a smile now seemed to melt the ice and snow, ushering in a sudden burst of spring light. She wasn’t afraid nor worried, but having Bo Yan around felt like regardless of what she did, someone would share it. Happiness was doubled, and worries were reduced to half.

She had nothing to fear.

The police invited her to come along, and looking into Bo Yan’s eyes, she gently nodded again. Bo Yan too looked at her, but he answered the police’s question: "I’m considered a witness too, and I’m also a victim from nearly being hit by him before; I’ll also go along for the investigation."

The police didn’t oppose this suggestion. Thus, the two of them under the gaze of the crowd and countless arriving media’s flashlights, walked calmly towards the police car, making the path resemble a red carpet.

Though they might not be able to attend the Gold Oscar tomorrow, at this moment, they seemed to exude an unstoppable momentum, every step echoing in the hearts of the watching crowd.

Then the police car roared, carrying them, the driver, and other witnesses willing to provide testimony, speeding away. Following them, some media also kept close chase.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

After Xia Siyu "committed an offense," editors in the crowd immediately reported to the media. Quickly, the news shot up to the top of trending searches.

Initially clicking the news, spectators assumed Xia Siyu had done wrong. Later, Wei Jingjing swiftly managed to have public relations release the full story on Xia Siyu’s official social media. Afterward, arriving media released the video footage of her and Bo Yan side by side getting into the police car, which exploded across the internet.

Bo Yan asked Wei Jingjing to make sure that now since it was already spreading, make it big, stir enough attention, let this matter expose more directly to the public, pushing for a rapid resolution.

Due to the massive popularity of the two figures, combined with the sensational charges involving attempted kidnapping/murder, traffic accident hit-and-run, etc., it rapidly became a hot topic. Six out of the top ten trending topics on social media were about this incident, without costing a penny in marketing, purely driven by organic interest, crashing the platform for nearly half an hour.

As Bo Yan said, owing to the massive heat, that very night, the traffic department swiftly worked, releasing the surveillance footage of Xia Siyu’s chase scene, especially the stunning drift and stop at the intersection.

Even through the screen, even with the poor quality of surveillance footage, it could not hide her impressive drifting and stopping moves. Spectators couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Originally, in many action scenes, despite Xia Siyu seldom using stunt doubles, the public hadn’t cared much. But this time, her fluid actions showcasing real skill left audiences marveling at the spectacle. Initially, Xia Siyu already had many "girlfriend fans" attracted by "Divine Catcher," and now they found her both impressively charming and heartily sympathetic.

Furthermore, the hotel also seized the opportunity, locating a nearby surveillance clip. Though the kidnapper found a dark place, it was barely discernible; initially, indeed, there was a struggle with Xia Siyu. Later, Bo Yan joined the help, marked by two car crashes, shown in surveillance as clearly aiming to kill Bo Yan and Xia Siyu.

The police also retrieved the surveillance, releasing it later online, showing Xia Siyu was indeed attacked first, hence her commandeering the motorcycle to chase.

Moreover, the guy from whom Xia Siyu borrowed the motorcycle was taken care of by Bo Yan’s arrangement with Song Fengzhi. This guy happened to be a fan of Xia Siyu, promptly offering testimony and was quite excited about it.

The outline of the incident was fairly clear, but obviously, the driver wasn’t the mastermind, so the police began further inquiries —though digging deep wasn’t crucial, for the driver was a thug with a robbery record, just released. Coincidentally, he shared the same prison as Li Weiyi.

Moreover, although his communication records were deleted, they could be restored through communication authorities. One of the connections on his messaging app was a close friend of Li Weiyi.

With all the public attention and popularity, the case-solving speed was astounding. The Yancheng police visited the Li Family the very night. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Though the case-solving was swift, people were still considering one question: would Xia Siyu be able to attend the Gold Oscar tomorrow?
