IN LOVE WITH A SOLDIER - Season 9 Episode 66

The reporters and the journalists already had an assumption that Rebecca was poisoned. Now, with the doctor’s confirmation, they firmly believed that Aria Liu really had the intention to kill Rebecca.

Rebecca was indeed an award-winning actress. In front of the cameras, she seemed to be very calm when she spoke, “I’ll take legal actions to hold Aria Liu accountable. I won’t let her get away with this. I am merciful but it seems that my kindness makes some people bolder. I have participated in so many social events and I have been nice to everyone. But if I let her go this time, I don’t know how many people will be like her and try to hurt me in the future.”

Tears were rolling down her face while she was speaking. She then continued, “I have worked hard to be who I am today. I know some people are jealous of me and they even hate me because they think that I don’t deserve to be a famous star and gain fame. But I don’t think so. I become famous because of my own efforts and my conscience is clear. I can let go of those who curse me, but I can’t forgive those who hurt me easily. They have harmed me and I have to protect myself.”

Everyone in the room nodded their heads in agreement to what she had just said. When they saw the tears on her face, the reporters and the journalists hesitated to ask tough questions. They could feel that Rebecca was a bit weak and emotional right now. Eventually, she succeeded in getting the people’s sympathy. She looked so weak that people just wanted to like and protect her.

After a while, the media and her agent left. The doctor gave some instructions to her assistant first before he left as well. The assistant took note of everything that the doctor said.

Only Rebecca and the assistant were left in the room.

Rebecca immediately sat up and asked her assistant, “How is Aria Liu now?”

The assistant’s eyes were suddenly filled with hatred as she replied, “Take it easy. She is miserable now. She has been badly hit by your fans and she is now in the custody of the police. I’ve already called the people in the police station and I’ve already given my order. She won’t be released easily.”

“Were those fans hired by you?” Rebecca asked. She knew that her fans were not so menacing. In such a situation, she thought that those people who initiated the attack to Aria Liu must have been paid by her assistant.

“Yes, I asked my friend to find several criminals and I paid them,” her assistant admitted. “So you should expect that Aria Liu must have been hurt seriously. Those guys have really hit her hard.”

Although the assistant did not personally see Aria Liu’s injuries due to the chaotic situation, she strongly believed that she was really badly hurt.

There was nothing but loathing in Rebecca’s eyes. She glared ahead and said, “I want Aria Liu’s life a living hell. She dared touch my man, I’ll let her know the consequences of offending me.”

Her assistant agreed, “Rebecca, don’t worry. She won’t get out of the police station. She will be locked in jail forever. She will have no chance to communicate with the outside world for the rest of her life.”

“That’s great,” Rebecca replied. She was satisfied with her assistant’s words. Then she continued, “After I leave the hospital, I’ll reward you for your hard work.”

“Thank you, Rebecca,” her assistant replied with a smile.

In the afternoon.

Aria Liu was taken to the office by two policemen. There was already one policeman waiting for them inside. She sat down and looked at the three policemen in front of her. She felt so nervous that she didn’t know what to say.

One policeman said, “Aria Liu, watch this news first.” Then he switched on the TV and let her watch the current news about Rebecca.

In the news, the doctor confirmed that Rebecca was poisoned. Rebecca also said that she would take legal actions regarding this matter and that she wouldn’t let Aria Liu get away with it. Aria Liu totally freaked out not with the doctor and Rebecca’s statements but also with the comments of some media people.

Aria Liu hastily said, “No, no, no. I don’t know anything about this. I don’t know what happened.” But none of them cared to listen to her.

After watching the news, another policeman said, “Aria Liu, Miss Rebecca has already identified you as the culprit and the doctor was the best witness. The doctor had confirmed that the wine indeed was poisoned. Since this incident involves you and your company, we still need to do further investigations before we can come to a decision. As for now, we don’t have any choice but to detain you.”

Then the policeman said to his colleague, “She will need to stay here for a while. Arrange a cell for her.”

“Okay,” the policeman replied.

Aria Liu still tried to defend herself, “No, no, no. I was only wronged. I did nothing. I’m telling you the truth. I really don’t know why her wine was poisoned.”

But the three policemen just turned a deaf ear. They preferred to believe that the news was true. The media reported it, Rebecca and her doctor confirmed it, and Rebecca’s fans online where all bad-mouthing Aria Liu. She should be punished or else, the fans would not let her go. And since Aria Liu didn’t have any witnesses at all, her words turned out to be weak and dubious.

Since the three policemen just ignored her, Aria Liu couldn’t say anything anymore. She was very anxious but she had no one to turn to.

Two of the policemen walked out of the office. The one who stayed with Aria Liu said, “Let’s go, I’ll show you to your cell.”
Aria Liu felt extremely terrified as she followed the policeman. The place looked very scary for her. There were no fences but the whole room was quite dark. There were only a few windows but they were very high that no one could see outside. Staying in this place would make someone feel being trapped.

The policeman opened the door and turned to Aria Liu, “There is a spare bed at the corner. You can sleep there. It’s Bed No. 8. If I have more question, I will come here and ask you.”

Aria looked around and she found out that there were five women in there. Some were wearing their own clothes while some were wearing a prison’s uniform. Their blank stares and unusual behaviors terrified Aria Liu. She felt like she was in hell.
