But whether you left in the meantime, or what you did, I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Ke breathed a sigh of relief. He was so worried Han Luoqi would testify for Xia Weibao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luoqi didn’t see you the whole time, he can’t testify. Who else can?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now, so many people outside must have seen me enter the makeup room and not come out until one o’clock.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xia Weibao spoke, she looked around at everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everyone avoided her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t see it either…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sarcastic gaze, Xia Weibao looked at a few of the female actors, “You were just chatting outside the makeup room.
