Half an hour later, after reviewing the surveillance footage, the police identified the suspect.
The car keys were left in the ignition, and a man wearing a hat rode off with it; I couldn't see his face.
Song Shi'an's back was completely bent from a long morning of work, and he plopped down in a chair in the monitoring room without saying a word.
He'd developed feelings for Little Green, and then it was all gone. He was doing just fine at work, and then the ox went home, and the horse disappeared...
The young police officer looked at the recently popular celebrity in front of him with a bit of curiosity.
It's just an electric scooter, was it a gift from someone very important? He still said, "We will do our best to help find it. Mr. Song, please go back and wait for news. We will notify you when we find it."
Song Shi'an had no choice but to give up and went out with the police officers; this scene was captured on film.
In the afternoon, dragging his weary body, he still had to go to class. As soon as he arrived in the classroom, he noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely and whispering among themselves.
Song Shi'an was filled with doubt. Had he put his clothes on backwards? He glanced down furtively, and realized that everything was fine.
Is there something on his face? When he saw someone taking pictures of him, he instinctively moved away. Wait until he washes his face before taking the pictures!
After class ended and he left the teaching building, he took out his phone and saw more than a dozen missed calls. He quickly answered, " Brother Yao? What's wrong?"
Ji Shuyao looked at the trending topics on his computer and said in a complicated tone, "Didn't you go to dance practice this morning? How did you end up with the police?"
Song Shi'an was taken aback. "How did you know?"
Ji Shuyao sighed, "Now everyone online is talking about what you did wrong and how you got bailed out."
Upon hearing this, Song Shi'an thought the world was truly amazing; wasn't it said that life didn't have that many spectators?
He quickly opened Weibo, and the homepage featured a video of him walking side by side with the police and helping them into the car.
The headline is blatantly obvious: A certain celebrity in the industry wields immense power; one second he's in a police car after committing a crime, and the next he's back on campus.
He was instantly terrified. Was this the kind of headline a 21st-century person could come up with? Did "overwhelming power" refer to the police car giving him a ride home?
The comments section was even more fascinating.
"Um, what did he do wrong? I saw a video of him returning to Capital just the day before yesterday, how did he get taken away?"
"I don't know, was it a fight? Or something else?"
"They start with a single picture, and the rest is all made up. These days, marketing accounts are really shameless. They're not even afraid of getting a lawyer's letter; they'll even spread rumors about the police!"
"No good person gets into a police car for no reason. They know what they did. So they got out by finding someone or paying money."
"Watch your mouth! An'an is known as a workaholic; he's always either in class or filming. Such a good boy, and you're spreading rumors about him!"
"[Photo] This was taken this afternoon. She kept avoiding the camera. She's always been very cooperative when taking photos before. What else could it be but a guilty conscience?"
"Upstairs, if you're so capable, don't delete it. I've seen this kind of distortion of the truth again today. Are you classmates, given how close you are? I just checked your profile; you used to resell his photos for profit, and now you're turning around and accusing me. Are you sick? Go get treated if you're sick!"
"Why did he come back early? He was filming perfectly fine, and he was playing a policeman, but he was taken away today."
After reading the comments section, Song Shi'an could only say that people's imaginations are truly amazing.
He said to Ji Shuyao, " Brother Yao, the above is utter nonsense, completely fabricated, and made up out of nothing! I just..."
Ji Shuyao pinched the bridge of his nose. "Just what?"
Song Shi'an muttered, "But... my electric scooter was stolen."
Ji Shuyao had already considered countless possibilities in his mind, but upon suddenly hearing this, he wondered if he had misheard, "What? Stolen? The electric scooter!"
Song Shi'an curled his lip. "Of course, I don't know which scoundrel stole the car."
Ji Shuyao sighed, "Fine, I'll handle the PR. They dare to spread rumors about such trivial matters; they must have nothing better to do!"
The online debate raged, and various rumors followed.
Cheng Fei looked at the overwhelming rumors. She clearly saw him in the practice room this morning, and the filming time was only about half an hour apart. What could he have done wrong!
She immediately logged onto D Station and posted a video.
The photos were taken this morning and are a bit blurry, but you can still tell it's Song Shi'an himself.
Caption: The photos were taken about half an hour apart. I finished my dance practice this morning and happened to see Song Shi'an coming out of the dance studio next door. I quickly snapped two pictures. What can he do in half an hour!
"Oh my god, I keep running into him all over the world, but I've never seen him even once in my own town! I'm so upset!"
"It's photoshopped, there's not even a video. They released it along with a video, and now they're asking strangers to refute it? This is a serious matter."
"Shut upstairs! If they've done something wrong, their company has already issued a statement and sent a lawyer's letter! There's not a single piece of solid evidence online!"
"All you do is threaten people with lawyer's letters. If that were effective, the video would have been taken down long ago. Why is it still up?"
Seeing the barrage of criticism online, Yin Haowen opened a bottle of good wine and put on some music.
Serenoir will definitely not let him continue as their spokesperson after such negative news.
Regardless of whether the video is real or fake, no one will allow an unstable factor to continue endorsing the product, and he is the best candidate. He happily hummed a little tune, drank his wine, and waited for Song Shi'an to be terminated.
When the police officer saw the video, he was completely stunned. Although the image was blurred, what was the caption saying?!
He immediately reported to his superiors and asked them to issue a notice to refute the rumor.
At 8 PM that evening, the Capital Police Station issued a notice: At 10 AM this morning, our station received a report from a citizen, Mr. Song, stating that his electric bicycle parked in a commercial area had been stolen. After receiving the report, the police officers quickly arrived at the scene and accompanied Mr. Song to review the surveillance footage. The case is currently under further investigation. The online rumors that "Mr. Song was taken away by the police" are inconsistent with the facts, and the relevant false videos have been removed. Our station will pursue the legal responsibility of those who spread rumors in accordance with the law.
The announcement caused an uproar online.
"Hahaha, his electric bicycle was stolen! No wonder there was a police car; the police officers took him home!"
"What about those who said he committed a crime? Don't they feel ashamed?"
"I apologize for my previous irrationality, but the theft of the electric scooter is just too funny. An'an is such a miserable little thing."
"These days, even losing an electric scooter can make it to the trending topics. There's no one like it in the entertainment industry."
"So, was the electric scooter found? Good luck, police officers!"
"So what that girl said was true! That's why An'an practices dancing!!!"
