Chapter 1375: Qin Qing’s Threat
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee TranslationsIn the film crew, after Yang Kun told Ruan Shenglin early in the morning that Master Chi and the others were leaving the village, Ruan Shenglin didn’t even have the mood to film. It was a simple scene, and Director Wang thought that Shenglin would get through it immediately. Who would have thought that even after filming for a few hours, there would be repeated NGs because Shenglin was so stiff? Director Wang felt incomparably tired and almost couldn’t help but curse out loud. If it were anyone else, Director Wang would have cursed them to death – who cared if they were a film emperor or whatnot?
What was wrong with Ruan Shenglin?
This was simply unprecedented.
Director Wang saw that Ruan Shenglin’s condition was extremely bad. After a few hours of NGs, he really didn’t have any patience. He waved his hand to switch scenes and actors. Ruan Shenglin went to rest first.
Before he went to rest, however, Director Wang called him over and questioned him.
Ruan Shenglin’s face was very unsightly at that moment. Director Wang waved his hand and could only tell him to rest and adjust his condition before filming.
Ruan Shenglin suddenly made a decision. He gritted his teeth and said, “Director Wang, can I… take leave first?”
As soon as he said that, Director Wang wanted to curse again, but he then thought of their friendship and how professional Shenglin had been during filming. Still, there was some disappointment in his eyes as he said earnestly, “Shenglin, what’s wrong with you today?
“Not only did you take leave before, you want to take leave again today? Didn’t I already say no? You’re the male lead of this movie. You have to know how much our film crew will lose if you take leave.”
After a pause, Director Wang continued, “Tell me what’s wrong with you today. You’re a film emperor, but your acting today is actually worse than a newcomer’s. Aren’t you embarrassed? So, I won’t approve today’s leave. Go and rest for a while before you continue with your scenes. Don’t disappoint me.”
After saying this, Director Wang waved his hand for him to go rest and adjust his mood.
When Yang Kun saw Shenglin come over, he hurriedly walked over and asked, “How is it? How is it? Shenglin, did Director Wang agree to you taking leave? Shall we hurry and go look for Master Chi?”
In fact, not to mention Ruan Shenglin, ever since Yang Kun found out that Master Chi was leaving the village, he couldn’t stand it anymore. He itched to leave the film crew and follow Master Chi out.
At that moment, he was afraid that Master Chi would leave first and forget about them. Yang Kun was alarmed, anxious and terrified. However, the contract for this movie had been signed, so they couldn’t leave just like that. No, the main thing was that it was Director Wang directing his movie. Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin really couldn’t just refuse to film and leave.
God knew how much he wanted to follow Master Chi and leave the village together with her.
Ruan Shenglin saw the anxiety in Yang Kun’s eyes and knew what he was thinking. He shook his head at him.
Yang Kun’s heart dropped sharply. He gritted his teeth and said begrudgingly, “You really can’t apply for leave? Why don’t I go over and ask again?”
Ruan Shenglin shook his head and refused. “Brother Kun, you’ve already tried. Director Wang doesn’t plan to let us go today. I did take too many days off before and delayed filming.”
“No, no… Shenglin, you can’t say that. Although filming is important, your life is more important!” Yang Kun wanted to cry as he spoke, and his intestines were twisted in regret. Why had he signed such a disaster-plagued movie for Shenglin back then?
At the thought that Master Chi might leave today, Yang Kun panicked like an ant on a hot pan. Seeing that Shenglin had accepted his fate, Yang Kun gritted his teeth and said, “Shenglin, even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about Tong Tong and the child. Master Chi is about to leave the village. How many days do you think we can live in this village without her?”
The more Yang Kun thought about it, the more scared he became, especially when he thought of the supernatural incident he had personally encountered back then. He never wanted to experience something like that again.
This village was too scary! Too scary! How could he not want to leave the village with Master Chi and the others?
Ruan Shenglin thought of Xu Tong and their child, and his face turned incomparably pale. He gritted his teeth and decided. “Brother Kun, I can’t go, but you can. Go down the mountain immediately and see if Master Chi and the others have left. If not, take Tong Tong and leave with Master Chi and the others today. I’ll explain to the others why you left. If they’ve already left…” At this point, Ruan Shenglin’s face grew more and more haggard. He actually didn’t want Master Chi to leave at all. He scratched his head in frustration, wishing he could tear off his scalp. Yang Kun was alarmed and didn’t dare pressure Shenglin anymore. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No, no… Shenglin, I’ll stay with you!”
Ruan Shenglin wanted to smile, but couldn’t. He forced himself to say, “Brother Kun, now isn’t the time to be loyal. Nothing can happen to Tong Tong and the child. I can’t see anything happen to them in the village. Hurry and see if Master Chi has left! Hurry and go!”
Yang Kun still wanted to say something, but he heard a familiar and concerned voice on the side. “Film Emperor Ruan, Brother Kun, what’s wrong?”
As soon as Yang Kun tilted his head, he saw Qin Qing come over. Seeing this face, he was disgusted, and his face changed. When Ruan Shenglin saw Qin Qing’s hypocritical face, his face turned even uglier.
After spending some time together, the two of them knew that this woman was a scheming and cunning person. In fact, they didn’t dislike such people. What they hated was Qin Qing’s hypocritical thick skin and black heart. She had almost caused harm to the entire Ruan family back then, yet she still had the face to approach them now?
They had enough of this thick skin.
Ruan Shenglin’s expression was dark, but Yang Kun didn’t want Shenglin’s reputation to be ruined because of a woman. If this woman turned around and said that Shenglin was bullying others, they would suffer. Yang Kun forced a smile and said coldly, “Miss Qin, we still have official business to attend to. We don’t have time to chat with you!”
Seeing that the two of them were gloomy and didn’t welcome her, Qin Qing wasn’t angry. She even smiled brightly and replied, “Brother Kun, I don’t mean to disturb you. I just want to know what you meant when you said something to Film Emperor Ruan this morning about leaving the village.” After a pause, Qin Qing asked insincerely, “Film Emperor Ruan, Brother Kun, are you planning to leave the village and not film?”
When Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun heard Qin Qing’s words, their faces changed drastically. Yang Kun was the first to speak. “Miss Qin, you heard wrong. Shenglin and I don’t plan to leave the village. Filming isn’t over yet. How can we leave?”
After Yang Kun finished speaking, he almost vomited blood when he saw Qin Qing’s incredulous expression. Why did this Qin woman hear them this morning? Moreover, they hadn’t noticed.
It had felt like someone had been staring at him and Shenglin just now. It turned out that it was this Qin woman who had been staring at them.
Yang Kun was about to use other excuses to fool this Qin woman, when he heard the woman in front of him say shamelessly, “Film Emperor Ruan, Brother Kun, I also want to leave with the two of you. Can you let me know when you leave?”
Without waiting for Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun to speak, Qin Qing continued, “If Film Emperor Ruan and Brother Kun are prepared to run away on their own, you must take me with you. Otherwise, if I can’t leave the village, no one else can.” It was rare for Qin Qing to reveal her true colors, and when she said the last sentence, there was a hint of viciousness in her eyes.
After saying that, Qin Qing turned around and left, ignoring Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s reactions.
“F*ck…” Ruan Shenglin could still remain calm, but Yang Kun couldn’t help but curse at Qin Qing’s true colors and insidiousness. Although he had long known this woman’s true colors, he had still underestimated her scheming and viciousness. He didn’t doubt the truth of her words at all.
At the thought that this matter had somehow been found out by that Qin woman, Yang Kun felt guilty and resentful. He blamed himself for being rash and careless early in the morning – it just had to be this Qin woman who overheard them.
He was really worried about implicating Master Chi and the others.
Not long after, Yan Zhengming came over. He saw Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s complexions didn’t look good – no, it should be said that they looked very unsightly. There was some confusion in his eyes as he asked Yang Kun, “What’s wrong with you?” After a pause, he said to Ruan Shenglin, “Shenglin, you weren’t in good shape this morning; are you okay?”
Ruan Shenglin didn’t have the desire to speak, and his eyes were filled with despair. In fact, Yang Kun really didn’t want to speak at that moment either. They were about to lose their lives; how could they care about Shenglin’s performance?
In addition, the Qin woman had found out about their departure from the village, and had threatened them. Yang Kun had no hope left in his heart. Looking at his friend’s concerned expression, he felt especially complicated. Speaking of which, he was really a little envious of Zhengming, who didn’t know the truth. Yang Kun felt despair and bitterness.
In fact, death wasn’t the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that you knew you were going to die, but you couldn’t leave. That was the scariest thing. Just as Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun were feeling despair and bitterness, Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong, who had just finished filming, brought Wu Haoming over to find Yang Kun and Film Emperor Ruan.
“Someone’s looking for you, Brother!”
