Chapter 870: Charge Her
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Gu Lan came out and saw the situation outside, she was totally confused.
Although she had been locked up by Gu Cen, she didn’t understand what Gu Cen wanted to do.
Now, she completely understood.
Gu Cen was going crazy, right? Why would she slander Xia Xibei for plagiarism?
They didn’t have any grudges at all!
Although she was not Gu Cen, she was ashamed to see Xia Xibei after her own sister did such a thing to Xia Xibei.
However, soon after she arrived at the police station, Pan Yan came over to pick her up.
Seeing Pan Yan’s kindness towards her, the same as before, she became even more ashamed.
“Is Sister Bei… Okay?”
“Yes.”
“It’s good that she’s okay.” Gu Lan was incredibly ashamed. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know my sister would do such a thing-”
“Don’t worry, we all understand.” Pan Yan shook his head and interrupted her. “The question now is, do you want to press charges against your sister?”
The question made Gu Lan freeze.
“Charge her?”
“Weren’t you locked up by her? Do you want to charge her with illegal detention?”
Pan Yan’s words made Gu Lan silent.
“Hmm…”
Although she was angry, Gu Cen was still her sister! She was her only family in this world!
Their parents passed away a few years ago, leaving the two sisters to depend on each other.
Before, Gu Cen had a serious illness, and Gu Lan postponed her work to take care of Gu Cen.
The two sisters had a good relationship, and now she should suddenly accuse Gu Cen?
For a while, Gu Lan was torn.
“Do you know that if Bebei hadn’t reacted quickly and prepared in advance, this would have been a huge mess?”
Pan Yan looked at her seriously.
Gu Lan panicked, “But-”
“You have no idea.” Pan Yan looked grim. “If Beibei didn’t have evidence and this slander became true, she would have been attacked by others. Once
her credibility was suspect, the consequences would have been unthinkable!”
Gu Lan’s face suddenly turned pale.
Right! If Gu Cen’s slander had really succeeded, what would have happened to Xia Xibei?
Gu Lan has been in this circle for some time and had experienced a lot of things, so she knew that it was not as glamorous and shiny as it appeared to outsiders.
There were many dangers and pitfalls.
If you accidentally fell into a pit, it would be difficult to climb out of it.
Everyone wanted to succeed, trying all kinds of tricks to attack others.
The controversy with Xia Xibei came from within and was more easily exploited.
If Xia Xibei was proven as someone who committed “plagiarism,” what would happen after that?
There was definitely more to it than that! Her career would be seriously damaged!
“Even if you came out later and tried to help clear her name, do you think they would believe you?” Pan Yan struck another hard blow.
Gu Lan was a little flustered.
Yes… Even if she came out to explain afterwards, would the people online believe it?
She and her sister looked so much alike, and who would guarantee which of them was Xia Xibei’s assistant?
If she was Xia Xibei’s assistant, then why didn’t she come out and say something before?
To explain the matter clearly, she had to explain her previous whereabouts.
There were a lot of things involved here.
The more she thought about it, the more upset Gu Lan looked.
“Besides, don’t you think that if your sister does something like this, if she doesn’t get a lesson, she will do even more outrageous things in the future?” Pan Yan aimed for her conscience.. “Now she is only laying hands on you, and you are willing to let her go. But what about later on?”
