Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Yu’s foot injury had been recovering for two or three days and was gradually recovering. She could now barely walk.
In order not to delay the filming process, Jiang Yu took the initiative to request Director Chen to shoot the scenes where she did not have much action.
Director Chen was worried about Jiang Yu’s foot, but the latter seemed to be fine, he smiled and said, “Director Chen, I know how much you value this show. My foot injury is almost healed, and I can barely walk. So don’t worry about my foot. Hurry up and start filming.”
Seeing how insistent Jiang Yu was, Director Chen couldn’t say anything, so he had no choice but to agree to Jiang Yu’s request.
With Sister Xia’s support, Jiang Yu came to the set and sat down in her seat, ready to continue filming.!!
Yuan Lai was still reading the script when he saw Jiang Yu. He walked over and asked, “Jiang Yu, is your leg really okay?”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “It’s really fine. I’m not some delicate princess. I just sprained my ankle. When the swelling goes down, I’ll be able to walk normally.”
“It’s good that you’re fine. I was worried about your foot,” Yuan Lai heaved a sigh of relief and said.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.” Jiang Yu smiled and patted Yuan Lai’s shoulder. “Today is your scene with me. You must perform well.”
Yuan Lai was full of confidence. “Jiang Yu, don’t worry! You and I are such close friends. Don’t tell me I’m afraid of acting with you?”
“Then you better not be afraid.” Jiang Yu smiled and teased.
Yuan Lai returned to his seat to read the script while Sister Xia walked to Jiang Yu’s side with her phone, she said in a low voice, “Chang Kai called me. He said he found some clues about that ‘Ah Xiang’.”
“Got it.” Jiang Yu helped Sister Xia stand up and followed her to a relatively secluded corner.
She took the phone from Sister Xia’s hand and asked, “Is it Chang Kai?”
“Yes, it’s me,” Chang Kai answered.
Jiang Yu said, “Please tell me the truth about that person.”
Chang Kai said, “That person called ‘Ah Xiang’ has a criminal record. He spent a total of twenty years in prison for theft, illegal immigration, and attempted robbery. He was recently released after serving his sentence. No one knows where he went. Moreover, he doesn’t have an identity card that can prove his identity. No one knows his name. Even those who know him only know the name ‘Ah Xiang’.”
“It seems that his strength isn’t weak,” Jiang Yu muttered to herself.
“Besides that, there’s another thing. It seems that Ah Xiang has never acted alone. Someone behind him should be helping him. Who knows if it’s his boss or his ‘customer,'” Chang Kai added.
“It seems like there’s… a food chain behind Ah Xiang?” Jiang Yu seemed to be deep in thought.
“It should be.” Chang Kai also thought so. “Otherwise, no one can explain why there was suddenly no news of Ah Xiang after he was released from prison. No one knows where he is.”
“Alright, I understand. Thank you, Officer Chang.” Jiang Yu thanked her politely and hung up the phone.
“How is it? What did Chang Kai say?” Sister Xia was very concerned about this matter.
“There are too many people here. Wait for me to tell you in detail tonight.” Jiang Yu was worried that someone was watching her. “This matter is not as simple as it looks.”
When Sister Xia heard this, her heart thumped as if a huge stone had smashed down on her.
Jiang Yu returned to the set and started filming today’s scene with Yuan Lai.
Li Yue sat at the side and watched as the corners of her mouth curled up into a cold smile.
Jiang Yu didn’t notice Li Yue’s gaze at the beginning. It was only when the scene ended that she realized that Li Yue had been looking at her. The expression on her face was gloomy and scary.
“What are you looking at?” Jiang Yu slowly walked towards Li Yue and looked at her in amusement. “Are you looking to see if I’ve been bitten by a bug?”
“What are you talking about?” Li Yue covered her mouth and laughed. “You look like you’ve been bitten.”
“But from your expression, I can tell that you really want me to be bitten, right?” Jiang Yu smiled and asked.
Li Yue paused and her tone turned cold. “Jiang Yu, what do you mean by that? A few days ago, you said that I was the one who put that bug in your room and now you’re framing me. Why? Is it fun to go against me?”
“It’s not very fun.” Jiang Yu straightened up and stared straight at Li Yue. “It’s because I’m telling the truth, so it’s not fun.”
