Ever since the plagiarism incident, Xiang Nan was afraid that Jin Xuyuan might drop him, so he listened to everything Jin Xuyuan said and was as docile as a lamb.
“Got it.” Xiang Nan nodded.
He went quiet before he said, “Oh yes. I heard Tong Yu saying Lucky’s condition is still unstable. From the looks of it, it was a really serious traffic accident.”
Jin Xuyuan sat on the chair and looked at Xiang Nan deeply. “I sent someone to find out what happened to him, but he was unable to find out anything.”
Xiang Nan narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. “I think there’s something fishy too. If it was just a minor injury, why would they bother hiding the truth?”
“Perhaps.” Jin Xuyuan spun his phone as he answered calmly.
Xiang Nan glanced at Jin Xuyuan and said, “Isn’t it a little strange? It was such a major accident, but only Lucky was injured. Why didn’t anyone else get hurt in the accident?”
Now that Xiang Nan mentioned it, Jin Xuyuan found it to be strange as well. Since the road was packed when the accident occurred, it was odd for only Huo Xiang’s car to get into an accident.
“I agree that it sounds strange.” Jin Xuyuan touched his chin as he turned to look sideways at Xiang Nan. “Why are you suddenly paying attention to him?”
Xiang Nan narrowed his eyes as he pursed his lips and said, “I just find it inconceivable.”
Jin Xuyuan did not think much about it. He simply turned and said, “If Lucky genuinely is in a serious accident, you might be able to make a comeback.”
Despite Xiang Nan’s great joy, he pretended to look worried. “What about the plagiarism?”
Jin Xuyuan raised his hand. “It is easy enough to whitewash someone in the entertainment industry. In any case, do you think Lucky is better than you?”
“Of course not,” said Xiang Nan almost automatically.
Huo Xiang was just a pretty face. In terms of vocals and talent, Xiang Nan felt he was just as good as Huo Xiang.
Jin Xuyuan always liked artists with ambition. People without ambition would quickly get eliminated by competition. Despite the plagiarism scandal, he did not give up on Xiang Nan because of his ambition.
“Then focus on writing good music. Just wait for the day when you surpass him,” said Jin Xuyuan ambiguously.
Xiang Nan clenched his fists and felt ablaze with hope in his heart.

Tong Yu drove over to meet the investigator. They had already collaborated several times, so they did not bother with any perfunctory conversation when they met and got straight to business.
“Are you saying everything was normal with Jin Xuyuan during this time?” Tong Yu looked at the investigator in disbelief.
“That’s right. Although he is the most suspicious person, this accident had nothing to do with him in my professional opinion,” said the investigator.
Tong Yu frowned as he took a sip of coffee. Although he lacked evidence that Jin Xuyuan was involved, he still remained highly suspicious of Jin Xuyuan.
How could Jin Xuyuan have nothing to do with this?
“Based on the information you provided, I investigated your artist’s car and dashcam footage. In the last two months, one day’s worth of footage was erased,” continued the investigator.
Tong Yu was stunned. “Was the dashcam footage erased two months ago?”
“Uh huh. I got my technical specialist to salvage the footage. Sadly, it was done so professionally that it was impossible to recover it.” The investigator shook his head apologetically.
