Chapter 2044: Not A Fake Name

“Helping Ma Haodong is not my decision,” Xiao Yuqian replied. “It’s the boss’s idea.”

Huh... What do you mean by boss?

Do you think I’m a fool?

Guan Hao’s excitement was also dampened. “Fine, just take it that I’m being paranoid! I just want to remind President Xiao not to make the same mistake again. Also, regarding Ma Haodong, you should ask someone else to take over!”

The conversation ended unhappily.

Guan Hao refused to help Ma Haodong with public relations. In the end, Xiao Yuqian could only go on stage herself and release an artist statement to the public.

They claimed that Ma Haodong was an artist under Jingyue and that they would hold a press conference to clarify the truth behind the case.

...

Ma Haodong’s press conference was held as scheduled.

Guan Hao was absent and it was Xiao Yuqian who was leading the public relations team today.

The venue of the press conference was packed with people. All the reporters and media were here for Ma Haodong. His fame as a popular young actor was not just for show.

It was time. Xiao Yuqian picked up the microphone and started the introduction. The reporters below the stage began to get restless and rushed to ask questions.

“May I ask if Ma Haodong really did take drugs?”

“Ma Haodong is the ambassador for anti-drug publicity, yet he took drugs. Isn’t he ruining his own reputation?”

“Why is Jingyue Entertainment protecting a druggie?”

“How is Ma Haodong now? Will he be sentenced?”

...

“Thank you for your concern. Thank you for taking the time to attend Mr. Ma Haodong’s press conference.

“What happened that night? Is Ma Haodong really involved in the drug abuse case? I will answer all of your questions later.”

The scene was a little quieter. Xiao Yuqian’s public relations team began to provide evidence. The evidence appeared on the big screen.

“As you can see, this is a unique test report. The first thing the police did after Ma Haodong was arrested was to test him. This report should be sufficient to show that Ma Haodong does not have any substances in his body. This means that he did not participate in the taking of drugs.”

One of the reporters asked, “Since they said he wasn’t involved, why is the police still refusing to release him?”

What the reporter meant was that being detained by the police meant that he wasn’t innocent.

“Good question. It’s exactly because Ma Haodong is the ambassador that he volunteered to stay behind and help the police solve the case. He will return when the real perpetrator is caught.”

After Xiao Yuqian explained, she asked the team to play the next piece of evidence. “This is the surveillance footage from the bar room on the night of the crime.”

From the complete surveillance footage, it could be seen that after Ma Haodong went in with his friend, he sat down on the sofa and drank and chatted.

In the end, some people started to take drugs, and some friends tried to persuade him to give it a try. But he waved them off and stood up to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, the police barged in and caught everyone inside, including him.

“The truth is that Ma Haodong was not involved. He encountered the police raid when he was leaving.

“Right now, he has already provided the police with a list of the people involved in the drug abuse case that night. The police have already arrested those involved in the case.

“Why didn’t the police release him if he is innocent?”

“You’ve misunderstood him regarding this.

“The real reason is that the unique product involved in this case is different from the one circulating on the market. It’s a very new type of substance. The police want to find out source of this unique substance and require Ma Haodong’s help.”
