Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin thought that Master Chi had agreed to persuade Director w.a.n.g, and they finally heaved sighs of relief. They didnt hang around and found an excuse to leave first.

Chi Shuyan still had a good impression of the Ruan family and Manager Yang Kun. She thought of the weird excitement in the village chiefs eyes when he looked at Xu Tongs stomach. Before they left, she reminded him, Film Emperor Ruan, if you really are in a predicament and have to stay in this village, you should at the very least send Mrs. Ruan back first. You also know that theres something wrong with this village. The sooner she leaves, the better!

Ruan Shenglin was very grateful to Master Chi and was moved. He immediately said that whether or not he could persuade Director w.a.n.g to leave with them, he would send his wife away from the village first. He would arrange for someone to take her away!

Chi Shuyan relaxed. She had saved Xu Tong and the child in her stomach. For selfish reasons, she didnt want anything to happen to the pregnant Xu Tong in the village. She was satisfied that Ruan Shenglin had resolved to send his wife away immediately.

After Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin left, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan came in. Wu Haoming was going to leave first. When he went to pack his things, Xiao Shan walked up to Chi Shuyan and said, Sister-in-law, I called Director Feng several times just now, but the call didnt go through. Sister-in-law, why dont you try giving our Director Feng a call?

Xiao Shan had tried calling on a whim.

Logically speaking, if Director Feng had returned to the capital, he wouldnt just leave a message and not call them.

The more Xiao Shan thought about it, the more puzzled he became.

Chi Shuyan had been relieved when she received Brother Fengs message that he had reached home, and most of her attention had been on the village. Listening to Xiao Shan, she felt that something wasnt right. However, it was normal not to be able to get through on the phone sometimes.

Chi Shuyan nodded and took out her phone to call Brother Feng herself.

Before she could finish dialing the number, Yang Kun, who had left not long ago, rushed back. He barged in so hard that the wooden door smacked against the wall and dislodged a small piece of moss.

Yang Kuns voice trembled as he shouted to Chi Shuyan in panic, Something happened, something happened. Master Chi, someone died. Someone from the film crew suddenly died! Can can you come and take a look?

Yang Kuns voice was too loud. Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, who were packing inside the house, were alarmed when they heard this. Wu Haoming didnt even have time to pack his things before he immediately ran out and hurriedly asked Yang Kun what was going on.

Seeing Yang Kuns pale face, Chi Shuyan hurriedly asked him what was going on.

Hadnt he just left a few minutes ago? How did he know that something had happened in the film crew?

Only after a pale-faced Yang Kun finished speaking did Chi Shuyan realize that it was his a.s.sistant who had informed him and Ruan Shenglin. Ruan Shenglin had rushed to the set first, and Yang Kun had specially come back to let her know.

The victim was actually a minor crew member. He usually didnt have much of a presence, and generally ran errands for everyone on set. It was said that he had been crushed under a rock which rolled down the mountain during filming. His death could be considered an accident.

Yang Kun heard from his a.s.sistant that it was an accident, but he and Shenglin felt a little uneasy. Yang Kungs face was pale as he begged Chi Shuyan to follow them.

Since the other party had already said that, Chi Shuyan couldnt refuse. Besides, she also wanted to confirm if this was an accident or not.

Okay! Chi Shuyan threw her phone to Xiao Shan and told him to call Brother Feng while she followed Yang Kun to the set.

When she and Yang Kun arrived at the set, there was no chaos. The film crew was still filming. A few actors and actresses were still laughing on the side, and the atmosphere was very light.

Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes. It didnt look like anything had happened at all.

Not long after, Ruan Shenglin walked over with a dark face and invited them to his tent to talk.

Chi Shuyan realized that although Ruan Shenglin treated her respectfully and squeezed out a smile, his face really didnt look good. When they entered the tent, Chi Shuyan learned from Ruan Shenglin that something had indeed happened. That person had indeed been accidentally killed by a rock. Director w.a.n.g had handed this matter over to the a.s.sistant director and the other people in charge, and the body had been buried.

This person had died in an accident and he didnt come from an important background. The film crew promised it would compensate the family when the time came. However, he was already dead. Filming was more important. If the film crew was delayed for a day, it would lose a lot of money. There was also the problem with the schedules of all the actors and actresses. It was impossible to delay everything over one person. Director w.a.n.g and the other actors couldnt afford to wait, so they could only deal with this matter for the time being.

To be honest, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun had seen all sorts of things in this circle, but they were still disgusted by the crews cold-blooded methods.

That was why Ruan Shenglins face was so unsightly.

In fact, there were quite a number of such things in the industry. Benefits had always been the most important. For example, stunt doubles might die in an accident, and filmmakers still had to film; at most, the families were compensated a little. Some productions even used the dead to promote the film before it was aired. That was the most disgusting thing.

This was the first time Chi Shuyan had heard of such a thing. After listening to the whole story, she didnt know what to say for a moment, but she didnt have a good impression of the rest of the crew, especially the actors and actresses who had been flirting outside just now!

Master Chi! Sorry to trouble you to make an extra trip. He did die in an accident, and the body has already been collected! Ruan Shenglin was a bit embarra.s.sed. No matter how suspicious he was, he couldnt dig up someones grave for Master Chi to have a look.

Moreover, he had discovered that it had indeed been an accident. That person was too unlucky.

Yang Kun still wanted to say something, but someone at the door informed him, Film Emperor Ruan, your scene is coming up. Director w.a.n.g wants you to get ready!
