Keep an eye on this little assistant when you have time.

After leaving behind a lukewarm remark, Su Mu turned and went to the changing room.

After closing the door, Su Mu took out his phone and sent a text message.

What is the progress of the investigation into that matter?

The other party replied very quickly.

[Progress has been made; the evidence collection phase is underway and will take a maximum of two days.]

At this point, there was still one week left before the filming of the series wrapped up.

At 8 p.m., a tired-looking Mo Jingjing finally walked out of the filming location, ending today's shoot.

Before she could even take a sip of water, Cheng Meng rushed in with bad news: "Jingjing, something terrible has happened! Linlin is in trouble!"

He can wait two days.

Su Mu didn't have much of an impression of Su Nian originally, but because she had developed feelings for Mo Jingjing that she was directly added to Su Mu's blacklist.

After changing his clothes, Su Mu handed his phone to Zhang Heng for safekeeping and then went to rehearse his lines with the director and Mo Jingjing in preparation for the next shoot.

"Sister Meng, please tell me slowly. What happened? What happened to Linlin?" Upon hearing this, Mo Jingjing looked anxious and quickly asked.

"Linlin has been hospitalized with food poisoning. She said it happened after she ate the dessert you gave her. Su Nian just called me; she's in the hospital being treated."

Cheng Meng composed herself and watched as Mo Jingjing relayed everything Su Nian had said on the phone to her.

In her haste, Cheng Meng forgot to lower her voice, and not only Mo Jingjing, but everyone around her heard her.

In an instant, the way some people looked at Mo Jingjing changed.

"Impossible!" Zhang Heng immediately retorted, wanting to say what he had seen, but Mo Jingjing stopped him with a look.

She is now more concerned about Maureen's health.

"Sister Meng, did Su Nian say which hospital it was on the phone? Let's go check it out now."

"No, they didn't say that. Don't worry, I'll call and ask right now." Cheng Meng had calmed down by now and secretly glanced at the others around her before telling a lie.

"Alright, alright, you can all leave now. What are you still standing here for? Want to stay overnight on set? Anyone who doesn't want to leave, come and sign up here. I'll register you and check your attendance tomorrow!"

The director glanced at the crowd and immediately called out.

When he shouted that, everyone dispersed.

Director Wu gave Cheng Meng a meaningful look and then reminded her, "Jingjing, personally, I have great faith in your character, but my belief alone is not enough. Since the start of filming this drama, you have indeed brought a lot of buzz to it."

"The series of events that happened recently have brought you into the spotlight. In my experience, it's best for you to keep a low profile during this time. People can be very volatile, so be careful what you say and do. Deal with this assistant's matter as soon as possible, and don't let a small matter cause a bigger problem."

"Don't worry, Director Wu, I know what to do." After thanking Director Wu for the reminder, Mo Jingjing and Cheng Meng walked quickly towards the dressing room and left as fast as they could.

As soon as she got in the car, Cheng Meng blamed herself, saying, "Jingjing, I'm sorry. I never thought I'd become your terrible teammate. I... I was just too anxious and blurted it out without thinking..."

It's a pity that time can't be turned back.

Cheng Meng now wishes she could slap herself a few times.

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingjing said nonchalantly, "It's alright, Sister Meng. Just be more careful in the future."

She could understand Cheng Meng's feelings. People are not machines; they are controlled by emotions and desires, and it's inevitable that they will have moments of emotional agitation.

If it were her, she would also lose control.

Hearing Mo Jingjing's comforting words, Cheng Meng felt much better.

On the other side, some minor actors who liked to gossip and were envious and jealous of Mo Jingjing, as well as some crew members, gathered together to secretly chat about gossip.

No matter how authoritative a director is, he can only silence people on the surface.

In private, he also couldn't control so many people.

"Did you all hear that clearly? The dessert that Mo Jingjing gave to Mo Linlin was poisoned. How could this woman be so heartless?"

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence. Mo Linlin and she have no connection, so why would she poison her?"

"You don't know this, do you? I heard a couple of days ago that a very talented screenwriter has taken a liking to Mo Linlin and wants to cast her as the female lead. I guess Mo Jingjing has heard about this too."

"I don't believe it. There are just too many rumors going around these days. How can you tell the truth from the falsehood? Besides, even if it were true, the first person to be angry would be Su Nian. She's been in the entertainment industry for so long and hasn't even landed a leading role, while her little assistant easily got the lead role."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shut your mouth right now. Su Nian is a really nice person, okay? She's just in the entertainment industry to experience life."

"Exactly, I agree!"

"Su Nian is a rich second-generation. Her monthly allowance is more than her acting fee. Why would she care about this? Besides, everyone knows that she treats Mo Linlin like her own sister."

"Yes, she's incredibly good to Linlin, personally taking care of her when she's sick."

"Ah, hearing you say that, it seems that Su Nian is indeed quite good. Hmm~ Mo Jingjing's face is really too deceptive. You can know a person's face but not their heart. I hope Linlin is safe and sound."

And so, Mo Jingjing's reputation on set gradually deteriorated without anyone noticing.

...

An hour later.

With the sound of an engine shutting off, the car carrying Mo Jingjing and Cheng Meng came to a smooth stop in the hospital's underground parking lot.

This time, Su Nian was waiting to receive her here.

Fully armed, Su Nian was so conspicuously disguised that it was difficult for anyone to recognize her without her speaking.

"Sister Jingjing, over here!"

Su Nian looked at Mo Jingjing and waved to her.

"How is Linlin doing now?" Mo Jingjing walked to Su Nian's side and quickly asked.

"Don't worry, Sister Jingjing, she's out of the emergency room now. Luckily, she was brought in in time. The doctor pumped her stomach and she's been moved to a ward," Su Nian comforted Mo Jingjing, speaking truthfully.

The group walked and talked, completely unaware of the hidden camera.

"She was perfectly fine, how could she suddenly have food poisoning? The dessert I gave her was something I bought specifically from a dessert shop, it was freshly made. Did she eat anything else?"

Mo Jingjing continued to press for answers.

She wasn't asking these questions to exonerate herself, but simply to find the source of the poisoning; her intuition told her that this was no simple matter.

Hearing Mo Jingjing's question, Su Nian also frowned: "Sister Jingjing, actually I'm not very sure about this either. The doctor is currently testing the food in Linlin's stomach, and the results should be out soon. Then we'll know for sure."
