How to access the return value using the API

See original GitHub issue

When we make a function call to the Smart Contract using the @polkadot/api-contract, we are returned with a result object if the transaction was successful. I have a function which is supposed to return a variable string. Below is the mentioned value of the result object. But I cannot see any data regarding the returned string. Also, how should I access a triggered event from the API?

Result is :  {
  "dispatchInfo": {
    "weight": 150000000,
    "class": "Normal",
    "paysFee": "Yes"
  },
  "events": [
    {
      "phase": {
        "ApplyExtrinsic": 1
      },
      "event": {
        "index": "0x0000",
        "data": [
          {
            "weight": 150000000,
            "class": "Normal",
            "paysFee": "Yes"
          }
        ]
      },
      "topics": []
    }
  ],
  "status": {
    "Finalized": "0x3159371db6098be8c0c9552664aa7aa2c792e6c0c7d67ebbb08aef8a0a2eb193"
  }
}
