Chapter 451: Why was She There?

Translator: Lonelytree

“Was it really an accident?” Quan Yu turned to Gong Zi. “Go and investigate the footage on set and interview the martial arts director.”

Gong Zi saw the dangerous glint in his young master’s narrowed eyes. If this was not an accident, there would be hell to pay.

“In the future, get a stunt double to do all the dangerous scenes. She is not to be harmed again!”

“Mo Li has put in a lot of effort for this scene and she didn’t want a stunt double. The crew’s martial arts director is experienced. Plus, before Mo Li, the other actor, Zhuo Ran had finished her shot and everything went smoothly. But when it was Mo Li’s turn…” The more Nie Li described it, the more suspicious she became. How could things be so coincidental?

Even though this was not something Mo Li could control and it was common for actors to get injured on set, this happened too suddenly. Now they could only pray that Mo Li would not suffer from any lingering injury… or else the Mo Family would crush Huan Yu.

Quan Yu’s face was still dark. Mo Xiao looked at Quan Yu and thought to himself. What is up with this young man? Has he taken a liking to my little sister? But she is only 16? How can this young man think about her like that?

Nie Li looked at Quan Yu and sighed. Since when did the brat learn to care so much about another person and it’s a girl? It looks like the kid has fallen deeply for her.

At that moment, the wheels were turning in Nie Li and Mo Xiao’s minds.

…

“The martial arts director’s name is Liao Qian. He has been in the business for 14 years already, he wouldn’t make this juvenile mistake.” Tang Ze sighed.

“So this is not his fault?”

“Director Peng can’t be sure either. But based on the observations of the other veteran actors, the problem should be that the martial arts director got the angle of the wire harness wrong. The wire harness is very dangerous, one careless mistake and the actors will fall. So before any wire scene, the director will check the harness many times. There have been injuries due to wire angle problems or sudden mechanical accidents.

“However, for someone as experienced as Liao Qian, no, even a newbie martial arts director will not make this common mistake.” Tang Ze felt something was wrong.

“Fuck!” Quan Yu cursed under his breath.

Mo Xiao glanced at Mo Li and waved his hands. “It’s hard to tell for now. Everyone can be careless. For now, we should focus on Li Li before we start pointing fingers.”

That was what Mo Xiao said but as Mo Li’s brother, he already knew what was going on. He didn’t expect Song Xin would do something like this. That day, she invited him out because she wanted to play the main lead in the Witch of Sun and Moon. When Mo Xiao rejected her, Song Xin said, “Are you sure? Then you have to be prepared to face the consequences.” It was why Mo Xiao instantly connected this to her. Plus when Tang Ze drove Mo Li and him to the hospital, he told him that Song Xin came to visit the set that day.

“That’s right. This may be an accident. Regardless, don’t worry because I will look into this.” Nie Li told Quan Yu seriously.

Quan Yu’s face darkened and he did not say anything else.

Director Peng gave Nie Li a call and asked about Mo Li. Nie Li answered truthfully and Director Peng got the martial arts director to admit it was his negligence that caused the accident. Director Peng and the martial arts director kept apologizing to Nie Li. Nie Li glanced at Quan Yu and sighed. “It’s fine. Director Peng, don’t worry too much. Mo Li is safe. Yes, don’t worry. I’ll call you when there’s an update here.”

After Nie Li hung up the phone, Tang Ze glanced at her with a knowing expression. Nie Li bit her lips as she looked Quan Yu. Mo Xiao’s expression was cold as ice.

Since the crew had already admitted their mistake, and this was all an accident, what else could they do?

However, An Wan was confused. “I remember Song Xin’s manager, Xia Mei left the set for a time. I have no idea where she went but when she returned, she kept whispering to Song Xin.”

“What?” When Tang Ze heard that, his expression shifted.

Tang Ze knew that Song Xin was a petty woman. It was entirely possible that Song Xin had orchestrated all these because Tang Ze had chosen Mo Li over her for Like A Willow!

“Why did she appear on the set today anyway? She’s not part of the cast!” Tang Ze demanded.

Nie Li sighed and explained, “She said it was to visit Director Peng. When she was overseas, she worked with Director Peng before, and she was also friends with a few of the other veteran actors in the cast. She has been yearning for the role of Liu Rushi but that role has fallen to Mo Li…. She was probably curious and came to see Mo Li in person.”
