Chapter 125: Criminal Case
After Jiang Li finished speaking, she turned around and did not even give the assistant a look.
The assistant looked at Jiang Li’s back and the hatred in her eyes gradually gathered. She wished that Jiang Li could die at this moment so that she did not have to pay any compensation.
Ning Wan looked at Jiang Li’s back and also felt a lingering fear.
While the assistant was packing, Ning Wan quietly handed the assistant a card.
“Take it. There are two million in this card. Take one million to pay the compensation. You can spend the rest yourself.”
“Sister Ning Wan…” The assistant did not expect that Ning Wan would be willing to help her.
Ning Wan gently patted her hand and said with a grievance.
“You’ve been with me for so long, and I can’t bear to part with you. However, there’s nothing I can do. You’ve seen Jiang Li…”
“Sigh, forget it. Let’s not talk about it. As long as you can be well in the future, that’s good enough.”
As Ning Wan said this, she even squeezed out a few fake tears. Seeing this, the assistant held Ning Wan’s hand with great gratitude.
“Sister Ning Wan, don’t worry. If there’s anything else in the future, you can leave it to me.”
“I just can’t stay in this crew. If there’s anything in the future, I’ll definitely be at the forefront for you.”
After hearing what the assistant said, Ning Wan nodded her head in satisfaction. Then, as if she was worried about something, she became very nervous.
“I still feel scared. She must be suspecting me about what happened today. Can you help me?”
The assistant had long been confused by Ning Wan’s emotions and immediately nodded her head in agreement.
“Then you…”
Ning Wan whispered in the assistant’s ear. If it was in the past, the assistant would definitely not dare to do that.
However, her assistant was filled with hatred towards Jiang Li, so she immediately became bolder.
“Sister Ning Wan, don’t worry. I will definitely complete this task.”
After saying that, she dialed a number in front of Ning Wan. “Team Leader Li, are you free to have a meal together?”
There was a scene of an explosion at night. Jiang Li was still communicating with the actors to tell them how to move so that it would be safer.
At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly received a call from the props team leader.
“Director Jiang, please come over and take a look. The props team is in trouble.”
“Okay, I’ll go over now.”
After Jiang Li said that, she handed the script in her hand to the director. After instructing him, he immediately rushed to the filming location that night.
However, when Jiang Li arrived, she found that there was no so-called mess in the props team.
Jiang Li felt that something was not right. It was too quiet here. There was not a single prop team member.
Jiang Li slowly closed her eyes. She seemed to smell gunpowder in the air.
Without hesitation, she quickly ran in the direction she came from. Just as she ran into the forest, she heard a series of explosions behind her.
The flames lit up the entire night sky. Jiang Li looked at the mountain rocks that had been blown up and sneered in her heart.
If she had not run away just now, her body would have been blown up into powder just like the mountain rocks.
The commotion was too big. The police patrolling nearby immediately rushed over to inquire about the situation.
“We are the production crew of the movie, but someone deliberately lured me here for…”
“Murder.”
When the word “murder” was mentioned, what was originally just an oversight of the production crew instantly became a criminal case. The police immediately filed a case.
This incident happened in a very short period of time, and the scene was full of clues. The police quickly identified Team Leader Li of the props team.
When Team Leader Li was taken away, he shouted at Jiang Li as if he wanted Jiang Li to do her best.
“I was deceived. I was ordered by someone. Director Jiang, you have to clear my name. No, you have to believe me!”
Jiang Li obviously knew that it was impossible for a mere prop team leader to do such a thing.
Therefore, she would definitely continue to investigate.
This matter was very bad. The police issued an official notice.
Very soon, some netizens found out that the incident happened to the production team that Jiang Li was in.
However, before the netizens could feel sorry for Jiang Li’s film crew, a group of Internet trolls rushed to the bottom of the comments section.
“Some film crews are really incompetent. Isn’t it disgusting to use such a thing to create hype?”
“What a film crew that wastes public resources! Get out of the entertainment industry!”
“I’ve already said that I must boycott this movie, and now it has deepened my determination.”
