Chapter 1335 - Walking In The Backlight (11)

The girl stood on the cliff, her sleeves and clothes fluttering as if she would fly home on the wind at any moment.

The scene was so artistic—if you just ignored that she was standing opposite a big fan which was blowing on her.

Ming Shu looked sad. Tears seemed to be circling in her eyes, but did not come out.

Now all eyes were on her, as if she had brought them into the story.

Luo Kai stood opposite and his expression was quite nervous. “Fenghua, come here first. We’ll have a talk.”

Ming Shu turned up her mouth to reveal a pale smile. “Talk about what? There’s nothing we can talk about now.”

What an embarrassing scene!

I miss my snacks.

Luo Kai took a step forward. “Listen, come here first…”

But Ming Shu stepped back, her feet on the edge, and the broken stones crashed down.

She said word by word, “You and me… We have a blood feud between us. Today is the end for us. The day we meet again, we’ll be enemies!”

At this time, the girl’s despair and struggle seemed to be felt by everyone.

The sun broke through the clouds and a ray of light shone on her. She jerked back.

Her skirt’s hem formed an arc in the air and fell.

“Fenghua!”

The man shouted and flew over, as if to try to catch the girl who had fallen.

The accident happened at that moment. The rope on Luo Kai suddenly broke and he fell.

Luo Kai only felt the wind whistling in his ears.

His mind went blank.

What happened?

“Ahhhhh—!”

The slow screams came from the team.

Luo Kai fell on the protection pad and the staff below rushed up in a crowd.

Ming Shu had returned to the top. Hu Xin, however, showed a pale face and seemed to be frightened, giving no response at all.

Ming Shu walked toward her, and as she passed by, her smiling voice reached Hu Xin’s ears. “The next time you want to kill me, it might be your boyfriend’s head that’ll fall. I’m quite looking forward to that.”

Hu Xin was horrified.

How could it be…

How did she know?

Hu Xin looked over. Ming Shu had passed her and went down with the staff.

Hu Xin felt cold all over.

…

Luo Kai was fine and just a little scared. After all, he suddenly fell from up high.

Just as everyone inquired after Luo Kai’s health, the police arrived.

Seeing the police, Hu Xin’s face was even paler. At this time, of course, everyone thought she was scared because of what happened to Luo Kai.

“Who called the police?”

“Wasn’t it an accident? Why did they call the police?”

“I don’t know…”

Everyone discussed among themselves.

The police questioned the involved parties and learned that there was a protection pad underneath, so there was no significant danger.

But in a responsible manner, the police still requested to check the ropes used when the accident happened.

The police asked a professional to check it out.

The results were unexpected. There were faint signs of vandalism on the rope.

If no one called the police, and the person in charge claimed it was an accident, then no one would notice anything.

Those staff responsible were taken away on the spot because they were suspected of attempted murder.

For a time, everyone in the crew was a little scared.

“How did it become a murder case…”

“Has Movie King Luo offended anyone?”

“Alas, so scary…”

“All right, enough talk. Everyone go back and take a rest today.” Director He scolded them with a sullen face.

Since Director He said so, the others dared not continue to stay, and they all scattered.

Director He comforted Luo Kai several times, then also left.

Ming Shu lagged behind all of them.

Hu Xin’s face paled, and at this time she met with Ming Shu’s gaze feeling an inexplicable panic in her heart.

Ming Shu pointed to herself. “I called the police.”

I’ll take the blame myself and won’t let others take the credit.

Hu Xin: “…”

…

Ming Shu went back to her floor and saw a man standing before the door.

Ming Shu walked over. “Young brother, what are you doing here?”

Liang Che looked at her and said coldly, “I’m just passing by.”

Ming Shu opened the door and said, “Your room is on the eighth floor. Why are you passing by me?”

Liang Che didn’t mean to go in.

His expression was still indifferent. “I’m following another artist on this floor.”

“The hotel management is so bad. How can you paparazzi come in and out so easily?”

Liang Che: “…”

He felt like he was stabbed in the heart.

“But you are welcome.” Ming Shu stood inside the door. “Do you want to come in?”

“I’m busy.”

Ming Shu shrugged. “Okay. See you later.”

Liang Che: “…”

Liang Che somehow was a little angry, and made to walk away.

He came up just to make sure she was okay.

Many people in the hotel heard that the police arrived just now.

Liang Che didn’t stay much longer and went back straight away.

…

In the afternoon, Ming Shu heard that Hu Xin was taken away.

The man she bought off did the deed just for money, but now he was in the police station, and of course he would directly give away Hu Xin, the one behind this.

Originally Hu Xin thought the matter was simple.

There was a cushion down there, and no one was gonna die. Usually, such a situation would come down to an accident.

But she didn’t expect that it would be Luo Kai who was involved in the accident. Meanwhile, the person that should have had an accident called the police unexpectedly!

Hu Xin didn’t admit it, though. With little evidence, Hu Xin then was quickly released on bail.

But it was still exposed.

For a time, the news about Hu Xin overwhelmed social media.

Some were even talking about how she “hired people to kill.”

The way the staff in the crew looked at her also became watchful.

Hu Xin was very angry every day, which naturally influenced her working state. Director He roared at her every day, accordingly.

After learning the truth, Luo Kai’s attitude to Hu Xin turned, though it was somewhat subtle.

Although he did not have a direct showdown with Hu Xin, he became clearly more distant from her than before.

Luo Kai adjusted his mood and continued filming.

Unfortunately, because of such an accident, he clearly developed a psychological shadow.

Director He was never satisfied with the scene.

With the countless bad takes, the staff naturally also had complaints.

But they had to put up with it.

Ming Shu and the staff squatted somewhere out of the way and ate drumsticks. “You say, how many times does he still need to pass this scene?”

“Three.”

“Five.”

“I’ll say, more than ten.” Ming Shu winked at them. “If I win, you must buy me drumsticks.”

The staff: “…”

Why were they squatting here, gambling with her about something so boring?

You are a movie queen, can you have a little more of the movie queen style!

How can a movie queen squat here with us?!

But later, Ming Shu won and ate their drumsticks.

The crew went back and forth for more than two months, then finally, Fenghua’s shooting was finished.

After that, Ming Shu felt quite emotional. “I hope we can create brilliant future together next time.”

The working team: “…”

No no no…

They couldn’t afford her!

The official Weibo account of Fenghua crew: Congratulations! Fenghua has finished its shooting. But we should be the first crew in history to be eaten out of money by the female protagonist.

The accompanying pictures were set within a nine-grid.

The food in the pictures attracted the attention of everyone, and the people instead became secondary.

Ming Shu’s picture was placed in the middle, and in front of her was an oversized crab. She was holding up a crab’s foot and smiling at the camera.

A group of anti-fans swarmed to “pay tribute” to Ming Shu.

They said they were always with her. They aimed to get her out of showbiz and stuck to their routine of pouring dirt on her.
