"Chen Xingyan's father is a monster. A person like him should be sentenced to death."
"After this, I don't think Chen Xingyan can continue to survive in the entertainment industry. A father like this is a complete embarrassment. He will be a black mark for the rest of her life."
"He took drugs and drove under the influence of alcohol. A person like that should be torn to shreds."
"If her father is like that, I don't think Chen Xingyan would be much better."
"Chen Xingyan is sure unlucky. I heard that her father went missing when she was 6-years-old. After so long, he finally returned, but he ended up ruining his daughter's future prospects."
...
That's right, Chen Xingyan was well aware that after this incident, she would not be able to continue in the entertainment industry. In fact, she knew she couldn't stay around and implicate An Zihao and Mo Ting.
So, after the police were done with their interrogation, she stepped out of the room and bowed apologetically to the victims' family members, "Regarding what my father has done, I give you my sincerest apology. I hope for your forgiveness. I will try my best to compensate for the pain that your loved one has suffered, even though I know that no material possession can make up for a precious life."
"You must be dreaming if you think I will forgive the two of you."
"No..." Chen Xingyan responded, "I am not asking for you to forgive my father. Everything is in the hands of the law. I am simply apologizing for my own actions."
The family members remained emotional. One of them even rushed forward to grab onto Chen Xingyan's shirt and throw a slap across her face. At this time, An Zihao had just arrived. As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, he rushed ove, pulled Chen Xingyan away and shielded her behind his back, "Chen Xingyan is also a victim. She lost her father when she was 6-years-old. Now that he finally reappeared, the first thing he did was ask her for money! If you guys want to cause trouble, you should target the perpetrator."
The family members quietened down as Chen Xingyan left the police station under An Zihao's protection, "I will look for a lawyer."
"No need," Chen Xingyan replied. "Escort me to Hyatt Regency. I want some time to myself."
"Xingyan..."
"From now on, I won't be able to appear in the entertainment industry again. At the same time, I can't possibly become the superstar that you want me to be. With this black mark, I will forever be known as a murderer's daughter," Chen Xingyan said in seriousness. "That's why, we should cancel our contract."
"What do you mean by this?" An Zihao's expression became tense.
"I want to break up with you," Chen Xingyan said as she held back her tears.
"Chen Xingyan..."
"I'm being serious. I don't want to stay in this industry. I'm tired. I want to go overseas with my mother and live my life in a place with no people," Chen Xingyan continued to hold back her tears. "I know you can't give up everything to leave with me. So, we should break up."
An Zihao looked at Chen Xingyan with a heavy heart. He never expected that she would suggest breaking up at a time like this.
"You're just tired..."
"I'm more serious than ever," Chen Xingyan said firmly to An Zihao. "I want to break up. There's no chance of recovery."
At this moment, even Little Seven stepped on the brakes in shock, let alone An Zihao.
"Chen Xingyan, let me remind you, we once promised to each other that we wouldn't give up easily. Are you breaking that promise...?"
"Yes," Chen Xingyan said with a shaky voice.
"Little Seven, stop the car!" An Zihao did not persist as he maintained the calmness in his voice. But, after Little Seven stopped the car, he immediately got out and walked away without turning back.
