Ming Shu tidied her clothes and slowly walked out to the main hall.

  White Lemon was preparing to give her a call when she saw her. She placed her cellphone back into her pocket and ran over. “Where did you go? Didn’t I ask you to wait for me in the main hall?”


  “Humans need to answer nature’s call.”


  White Lemon was a female. She had been an editor for over ten years and worked with many gurus.

  The Host was under her from the start so their relationship was not bad.

  “This is your invitation.” White Lemon passed a bag to her. “Where are you staying?”


  “Going back home to sleep.”


  “It’s snowing heavily. The place you stayed at is a distance from here. It is not convenient for you to go back. Why don’t you stay at the hotel for the night?”


  “No, it’s okay.”

  “Lemon.”


  “Hi, Lemon.”


  White Lemon greeted the other authors while talking to Ming Shu. “Are you really not going to start a new book? Didn’t you always start a new book every time you finished a novel? Also, I read your current novel. It’s different from the skeleton that you wrote……”


  Ming Shu: “.……”


  Ming Shu finished her registration and took her goodie bag. She had nowhere to go so she just followed White Lemon.

  White Lemon was living with another editor called Orange.

  Orange was sending a voice message to someone. “Why are you not coming again. You are like an emperor. You never come.”


  She put down her cellphone and greeted Ming Shu. “Wei Ran is here. Take a seat.”


  Ming Shu was not polite, either. The Host was familiar with the editors as she went to the editor department many times.

  “Silverfish is not coming again?” White Lemon was curious.

  Orange placed her hands on her waist. “Yes. She said that she would be coming but in the end, she changed her mind again. I’m so angry.”


  “You will be taking her award for her again.” White Lemon teased her.

  There would be awards given out every year. Silverfish and Wei Ran were popular authors online so they would definitely get some awards.

  “I am her editor and now, I have to be her butler too,” Orange complained. However, inside her heart, she was happy.

  A pleasant female voice sounded from her phone.

  ”


  White Lemon looked at Ming Shu with curiosity. “When did you meet Silverfish?”


  Ming Shu was sneakily eating White Lemon’s snacks when she was called. She sat up straight and pretended that she didn’t steal any snacks. “I don’t know her.”


  “Why did she greet you then?” White Lemon was puzzled.

  “Maybe she likes my beauty.”


  “.……”


  Orange touched Ming Shu’s forehead. “She is not sick. Why is she talking such nonsense?”


  White Lemon shook her head. This person’s mind seemed to be getting worse……

  White Lemon received a call and looked at Ming Shu with a strange look.

  “Is there some misunderstanding…… okay, I will come down immediately.”


  White Lemon hung up and took a deep breath. Then, she took another deep breath.

  “Wei Ran, come down with me.”


  “What happened?”


  White Lemon tried her best to calm herself down. “Lin Yuxin called the police and said that you beat her. The police are downstairs currently.”


  “Oh.”


  Ming Shu’s reaction caused White Lemon to tense up. “Did you really hurt her?”


  “I didn’t. Am I that kind of person?” Ming Shu smiled. “Why will I hurt someone for no reason?”


  White Lemon heaved a sigh of relief. “I knew that there was some misunderstanding. Follow me down.”


  Lin Yuxin sat in the main hall after she called the police. When the police came, many people crowded around them.

  Lin Yuxin was covering her face with her hands and crying pathetically. Her slim shoulders shook as she cried. She looked delicate.

  “I heard that Wei Ran hit someone……”


  “It can’t be……”


  “Wei Ran has some bad blood with Lin Yuxin but I didn’t expect her to hit her.”


  “You don’t know how irritating Wei Ran is.”


  “Yes. When we speak in the group chat, she will pop out and scold us for no reason. She’s crazy.”


  “Do you think that she went crazy from writing novels?”


  Ming Shu’s “illness” had been going on for a while now. When she heard other people discussing her, she was not angry and just smiled at those people.

  “.……”


  Ming Shu came down so the police asked the staff of the hotel to bring them to a quiet place to question them.

  The person-in-charge took them to a restaurant on the second floor.

  The police sized up Ming Shu. “You are Wei Ran?”


  “Yes.”


  “This lady claimed that you hit her. I hope that you will cooperate with us for the investigation.”


  The policeman pointed to Lin Yuxin who was still crying.

  Lin Yuxin’s editor, Lychee, had came too. Lychee was comforting her.

  “Oh. Where is the evidence?” Ming Shu leaned against the table. “What evidence do you have that I hit her?”


  Lin Yuxin had tears in her eyes as she replied, “You pulled me into the washroom. The surveillance camera will have recorded it.”


  Lin Yuxin sobbed. “I don’t know how I provoked you. Why do you have to beat me? I already apologized for what happened last time. I didn’t do it.”


  Lin Yuxin’s editor was a short-haired lady. She was frowning unhappily and said, “Lemon, isn’t it too much for Wei Ran to hit someone?”


  White Lemon was confused. She said, “We should not jump to conclusions.”


  Lin Yuxin’s editor, Lychee, replied, “Are you saying that Lin Yuxin is lying?”


  “I didn’t mean it that way.”


  “What do you mean then?” Lychee was overbearing. “Lin Yuxin wouldn’t call the police for nothing, right?”


  White Lemon looked at the policeman and then glanced at Ming Shu who was smiling gently. She didn’t say anything.

  “Lychee……” Lin Yuxin pulled Lychee. “If Senior Wei Ran apologizes to me, I will forgive her.”


  “How can you let her go easily. She hurt you.” Lychee consoled her. “Don’t worry, I will investigate this matter carefully. No one can beat someone and get off with it. We will not cover up for anyone.”


  Lychee and White Lemon were not on good terms.

  Ming Shu was under White Lemon so when Ming Shu had a conflict with Lin Yuxin and she had the advantage over Ming Shu, Lychee was unwilling to let go so easily.

  Ming Shu glanced at Lin Yuxin.

  She smiled and said in a gentle voice, “Investigate it then.”


  “Senior Wei Ran, I just want you to apologize……” Lin Yuxin said. “After all, you hit me first.”


  Ming Shu raised her hand. “I want to check the surveillance camera.”


  “Check!” Lychee stopped Lin Yuxin. “Lemon, you have nothing against it, right?”


  Since Ming Shu wanted to investigate, White Lemon didn’t reject the suggestion.

  The police asked the person-in-charge to take out the surveillance images.

  The person-in-charge said that the surveillance camera could only see the entrance of the washroom. There was no surveillance camera in the washroom.

  Lin Yuxin knew this so she wanted to ask Ming Shu to apologize first. That would prove that Ming Shu was in the wrong and things would be advantageous to her.

  Lin Yuxin felt indignant too. She was right in this matter all along.

  Ming Shu hit her first.

  However, there was no surveillance camera in the washroom.

  Lin Yuxin cried as she said, “Senior Wei Ran pulled me into the washroom because she said that she had something to tell me…… The surveillance camera outside the washroom and the ones in the main hall could prove this.”
