Qin Sheng looked at the surveillance camera in shock. "It can't be Sikong Jue! Why would he do that?"
"Who else could it be? Those who came backstage were all our staff and Ming Tai. And then he came back here! I know why he did it. He hates me, hates me to death!" Chu Xia said angrily.
Qin Sheng was speechless by Chu Xia's argument. From her point of view, Sikong Jue had hurt Chu Xia in all sorts of ways. However, she always felt that it wasn't because he hated Chu Xia.
"Don't jump to conclusions yet. Let's find Sikong Jue and ask him!" she said.
Gong Mochen called Nie Feng and asked him to bring Sikong Jue over. Nie Feng replied that Sikong Jue was about to leave but was stopped by their men at the door.
Chu Xia was furious when she heard that. "Did you hear that? He just wanted to flee in fear of punishment!"
"Who did you say fled in fear of punishment?" Sikong Jue stepped backstage.
"I'm talking about you!" Chu Xia's anger radiated from her face. She wanted to tear the man apart!
Qin Sheng pulled Chu Xia back. "You should at least give him a chance to speak! We need to get to the bottom of this, and it'll help if you let him speak."
"What else can he say? Why did he come backstage? I was already at the front with Ming Tai speaking to the agent. Who else was he looking for backstage?" Chu Xia roared angrily.
"I didn't come backstage to look for you. I came to look for Ellen," Sikong Jue said.
He saw that Chu Xia and Ming Tai had left. He was going back to look for Shen Tong and Jian Jian, but when he walked past the entrance of the backstage, he changed his mind. He turned around and went backstage to look for Ellen.
Everyone was stunned. Sikong Jue and Ellen knew each other?
"Why are you looking for Ellen?" Chu Xia asked.
"Why do I have to tell you that?" Sikong Jue retorted.
Ellen walked over then, looking rather nervous. "Yes, Mr. Sikong came to look for me."
Chu Xia looked at her assistant. "How do you know him?"
"I heard from a friend that there was a pharmacy that has very good medicine. My father's blood pressure has always been unstable. High pressure often causes dizziness, so I went to Mr. Sikong's pharmacy to ask for some medicine.
"Mr. Sikong's medicine is very effective. It's even better than the medicine imported from the hospital. It's also pure Chinese medicine, so the side effects on the human body are small," said Ellen.
"Ah? It's that good? Do you have a medicine for my mother's high blood sugar?"
"My father has a slight thrombosis. Can this be treated with Chinese medicine?"
"My brother is only twenty years old, and he already has high blood lipids. Mr. Sikong, do you have any medicine to regulate his blood lipids? I'm happy to pay whatever it costs!"
A few of the models asked Sikong Jue.
Chu Xia's forehead was covered in black lines. Was she investigating the scoundrel who ruined her fashion show, or was she advertising for him?
She was speechless!
"Stop! We'll talk about his medicines later. Ellen, you said that Sikong Jue was looking for you. Why was he looking for you?" she continued to ask.
"L-looking for me, err, he was just looking for me to ask about the effects of my father's medicine," Ellen stammered.
Chu Xia's brows sank. So that was why he was back here... After giving Ellen's father medicine, Sikong Jue wanted to check on how it was affecting him.
"Did he leave after asking?"
"He left. I watched him walk out the door. I can guarantee that Mr. Sikong didn't do it! Chu Xia, believe me!" Ellen held Chu Xia's hand.
Chu Xia looked at Ellen, who was nervous about Sikong Jue. The corners of her lips twitched. Maybe she had made a mistake...
"I trust you. Since it's not him, let him go." She turned to look at Qin Sheng.
Her heart felt uncomfortable. Sikong Jue could take care of Shen Tong and care for Ellen's father, but he despised her. She really didn't know what she owed this man. However, she decided to purge Sikong Jue's name from her mind and never think about him again.
Qin Sheng felt a little uncomfortable listening to this. Ellen's nervousness towards Sikong Jue seemed to have surpassed her friend's concern.
"Thank you for coming to clarify. So it was a misunderstanding. Le Le, send Mr. Sikong Jue, Shen Tong, and Jian Jian out."
Sikong Jue curled his lips coldly and his gaze landed on Chu Xia's face. "If you want to doubt me, then doubt me. If you want me to leave, then let me go? When did I, Sikong Jue, become so cheap?"
Chu Xia's heart thumped. "Then what else do you want?"
Sikong Jue walked towards Chu Xia. "What else do I want? You're slandering my reputation!"
"Brother Jue, Chu Xia watched the surveillance footage and had to ask why you were here. Don't be angry!" Shen Tong ran over and held onto Sikong Jue. She could tell that Sikong Jue was really angry.
"Shen Tong, you don't have to hold onto him. I want to see what he can do to me!" Chu Xia shouted angrily.
Sikong Jue's eyes were locked on the woman in front of him. "Let me ask you, what do you think of me? I feel like you think I was the one who ruined your fashion show. Is that what you think of me?"
Chu Xia's eyes avoided Sikong Jue's gaze. "You're the only outsider on the surveillance footage. You've been backstage before. It's impossible for me not to suspect you!"
Her heart pounded in pain.
Sikong Jue and punched a makeup mirror. The mirror shattered and fell to the ground.
"Ah! Blood! Brother Jue, your hand is injured!" Shen Tong bandaged Sikong Jue with a handkerchief.
Sikong Jue pushed Shen Tong away and turned around to walk out of the backstage area. His heart was in extreme pain. He was the only outsider in the backstage area... In her eyes, the staff members were not outsiders. Ming Tai was not an outsider. He was the only outsider!
Shen Tong chased after Sikong Jue and pulled him back. "Brother Jue, don't be angry. Chu Xia only asked why you were backstage."
Sikong Jue lowered his head and whispered into Shen Tong's ear.
Shen Tong nodded. "Is this really okay?"
"Go ahead. Go in and do as I say," Sikong Jue said as he sent a message to Gong Mochen.
Shen Tong immediately turned around and ran back into the backstage area. "Brother Jue said that he saw who ruined your dress."
Everyone was surprised by her words.
Chu Xia walked over in a few steps. "Really? He really saw? Who was it?"
"B-Brother Jue said that it was someone from here. However, you made him unhappy, so he won't say anything now unless you apologize to him!" Shen Tong stammered.
She had no idea what Sikong Jue was trying to do, but Sikong Jue said that it would help Chu Xia, so she could only do as he said.
Chu Xia's brows sank. Was she really going to apologize to Sikong Jue?
She hesitated, unsure if she should do that. Shen Tong pulled Chu Xia along, dragged her out of the backstage area, and hid in the corner of the corridor.
"Shen Tong, what are you doing?" Chu Xia was surprised.
Shen Tong covered Chu Xia's mouth. "Don't talk. Watch!"
Chu Xia was confused. What was she looking at? Wasn't she supposed to apologize?
Just as she was feeling puzzled, she saw a staff member of the Yun Corporation rush out from backstage.
Following that, the sound of people being let through the closed doors could be heard. The people participating in the fashion show left one after another.
Chu Xia was shocked. "Why are they letting them through? We haven't caught the person yet!"
