CHAPTER 590: CHAPTER 354: HUMILIATED! (PART 2)

When Luo Ye announced the stage in French, Su Sha snapped back to her senses, seeing Fang Nini and Liu Xiaoqing still standing there in a daze, she shouted loudly: "Hurry, get on stage quickly."

"Yes!" The two, who had come to their senses, bypassed Qiao Xiaowan and quickly ran onto the stage.

"Xiao Wan, let’s talk after you get off the stage." As soon as Su Sha finished speaking, she saw more and more dirt at Qiao Xiaowan’s feet, she covered her nose from the stench and quickly dragged Qiao Xiaowan off the stage.

But Su Sha’s strength was too weak, Qiao Xiaowan was now completely in a puppet-like state, as she was dragged by her, she almost fell to the ground, Su Sha had no choice but to bear with the nausea and use her body to hold her up, shouting to the actors who were stunned like wooden chickens: "Make way, let the security staff come over, take her down."

...

After Qiao Xiaowan was dragged off the stage, she kept being lost in a daze without speaking. Lin Tuanzhang came over, glanced at the situation, and discussed with Su Sha, suggesting to send her to the hospital.

With only a small part of the performance left, one of the two had to stay behind. Considering the close relationship between Qiao Xiaowan and Su Sha, they decided that Lin Tuanzhang would stay and Su Sha would accompany two staff members from the troupe to go with them.

...

The program smoothly came to an end, and during the curtain call, Luo Ye and Bai Yan walked on stage hand in hand, Luo Ye raised the microphone: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, the New Year’s Day performance of 2001 ends here."

Bai Yan: "Thank you all for your company for over three hours, thank you for the encouragement and support given to the performers."

Both exclaimed in unison: "We look forward to seeing you all again next year, wishing everyone a smooth and safe new year!"

After the speech, the two left the stage, the rest was no longer their concern.

Lin Tuanzhang was frowning and sitting in the host’s small tent, seeing the two come back from the curtain call, he pointed to a small stool: "You two sit down, I need to ask you something."

The backstage people had all clearly seen Qiao Xiaowan’s condition. Even though they hadn’t gone over, they had faintly heard a few sentences just now, therefore, they understood what Lin Tuanzhang meant, moved the stools, and sat down calmly facing him.

"What did Xiao Wan eat today that was different from yours?" Lin Tuanzhang asked.

Bai Yan thought for a moment: "We had breakfast together, then came here to wait to go on stage, during the process, I haven’t seen her eat anything."

"Forget it, let’s cut to the chase." Lin Tuanzhang took a deep breath: "I just want a straight answer from you, did you do anything to Qiao Xiaowan?"

"No!" Bai Yan shook her head decisively.

"Absolutely not." Luo Ye emphatically said.

Lin Tuanzhang looked seriously at them for a while, said: "This year’s incident, no matter how you look at it, something’s off. First, Qiao Xiaowan’s shoes broke, then when I went to find spare shoes, mysteriously, not a single pair could be found.

Then, Qiao Xiaowan had diarrhea on stage, and crucially, this wasn’t ordinary diarrhea. On the way to the hospital, she couldn’t stop at all.

The doctor immediately determined from the symptoms, this wasn’t from eating bad food, but that she had ingested a drug called A1-M, further tests confirmed his diagnosis was correct.

This drug is colorless, tasteless, easily soluble in water, and won’t endanger life. The effect usually starts about two hours after ingestion, the more intense the movement, the quicker the drug acts.

Of course, this drug is extremely rare in the country, if Qiao Xiaowan hadn’t been sent to the Military District Hospital, and the doctor hadn’t happened to have encountered such cases before, we might not have gotten such quick results."

With that, Lin Tuanzhang paused, closely observing their expressions, and finally sighed: "The last thing I hope is that you two were involved in this matter.

It’s not that I don’t trust you, but you two are the most suspicious. Speak up now, you still have a chance, if leaders order an investigation and figure it out, your futures could be ruined."

"I didn’t!" Luo Ye and Bai Yan almost said in unison.

Lin Tuanzhang nodded: "Alright, I believe you, the performance is over, you can go back to your respective groups. I will report your answers as they are.

If the superiors decide to investigate, they will likely come to you, or it might happen after Qiao Xiaowan’s recovery, a confrontation between all three parties could be possible. At that time, don’t have any aversion, this matter needs to be clarified."

"Yes!" the two responded in unison.

Luo Ye had just changed her clothes and was leaving the dormitory when she met Liu Ping who had come to pick her up, smiling cheerfully: "Luo Ye, your performance today was brilliant, truly a credit to our school."

Luo Ye smiled politely: "Thank you, Director Liu, for the compliment."

"Let’s go, the team members are waiting." As Liu Ping walked forward with her arm around Luo Ye, she hesitated for a moment and whispered: "About that matter with the General Politics host, don’t take it to heart. The school believes in you."
