Wu Xie's POV:
I was already at the shoot when I got my cousin Xie Yu Chen's call. My parents were in an accident. And along with them was my uncle Wu San Xing. I was more close with him than my parents. I couldn't think of anything. Someone had died as well.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yi had heard me speaking on call in the washroom. Cheng Yi had a crush on a girl whom I knew as well. She was my classmate in school and Cheng Yi was a year behind us. I threatened him with her name.
As soon as the director announced that it was a wrap, I excused myself and left. I knew the paparazzi and the media would start flooding at my set as soon they get the wind of it.
Me graduating from my Theatre and Film major had been the talk of the town for weeks. Not to mention, the accident involved the Legendary Third Son of Master Wu- A legend in the history of Finding Ancient Artifacts and it's Restoration. Both Father and Son were named Living Legends. Therefore, I left as soon as I could.
Instead of taking my own Maserati or the company car, I called for taxi and left in it. I told Xie Yu Chen to meet me at the back of the hospital gate, from where we could go inside safely without attracting any attention.
As soon as I reached, as decided I founded Xie Yu Chen waiting for me. I got down and the first thing he did was hug me.
"Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded, hugging him back.
"Come, they're waiting for you." He said and I left without any question.
"Wu Xie, Uncle Aunty are badly injured. Wu San Xing managed to jump out, but he was still hurt. The car was on his leg and so he couldn't move." Xie Yu Chen said while walking.
"Xiao Hua, it's too bad, isn't it?" I asked him and he stopped walking.
He looked at me and nodded. I understood. I made up my mind and gathered all the courage I had and started walking again. He stopped me, holding my hand.
"Wu Xie, I'm here with you. Okay?" He asked and I gave him a smile.

Meanwhile...
Xiao Ge and Fatty went back to the station and in Xiao Ge's office. Fatty handed him a glass of water and then asked,
"Xiao Ge, do you remember me then??" And Xiao Ge nodded. "Yes, I do remember you now, Fatty." And the mentioned was happy.
Fatty's phone rang. It was one of his colleagues. He received the call in a click.
"Tell me, what happened?" Fatty asked.
"I asked around about the situation. Seems like the one dead is related to the Wu Family but not a family. Wu San Xing and Wu Xie's parents are heavily injured. Xie Yu Chen and his Xie Lian are here. But I haven't seen Wu Xie yet." The person explained.
"But it still doesn't clear Wu Xie of being a murder suspect." Fatty replied and heard a long sigh.
"Fatty, whoever has started this rumor or whatever nonsense that Wu Xie is the suspect, should really be buried alive. Why in the world would Wu Xie try to murder his own parents? Not to mention, the third son of Old Wu is the closest and almost unseparable part of Wu Xie. He will let his parents die, but save his uncle, that's the kind of relation they have. Then did he try to kill his most precious uncle as well?? It's so confusing honestly." The man replied and Fatty had his phone on speaker so Zhang Qiling could listen.
"Look out for Wu Xie and once he's there-" But Zhang Qiling was cut in between by the commotion.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Qiling asked the man who took a long breath before he replied...
"Wu Xie has arrived!"
