He's incredibly good at judging people.

Ye Qianran glanced at her manicured nails, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"She's the eldest daughter of the Shen family. If she wanted, Linlin, the lead actress, would be hers. Why would she need a fourth lead actress? What value does a fourth lead actress have?"

Anna choked. She looked at Ye Qianran, then at Qi Jiu, and couldn't say what she wanted to say.

She had just cried, her face was covered in tear stains, and now she was so angry that she looked quite disheveled.

Because Ye Qianran was right, with the Shen family's influence, getting a female lead role wouldn't be difficult.

The air suddenly fell silent. Qi Jiu looked at Anna, waiting for her to continue.

"Was it you?" Anna suddenly looked up at Ye Qianran. "It was you! Of all the people in the crew who don't get along with me, you're the only one! You're rich, you've always looked down on me, and this is how you humiliate me!"

Anna's sudden outburst of emotion startled everyone around her, except for Ye Qianran, who smiled.

She looked at Anna, clicked her tongue, and shook her head.

"Finally stopped pretending? I knew you were always playing the victim, but no one believed you."

She held up her five fingers. "You yourself said I'm rich. Do you think I'd even look at something worth 68,000? You think I'd humiliate you? If I wanted to humiliate you, would I have waited until now?"

My manicure alone cost you an unimaginable amount. If I wanted to humiliate you, I could just show off, wouldn't I? Everything I wear is valuable.

"you!"

Anna glared at him, her face flushed with anger.

However, Ye Qianran did not intend to stop, because she had long been disgusted by Anna's constant pretense of weakness.

"Aren't you connected to Jiang Rang? Sixty-eight thousand is nothing to him. Why don't you go find him?"

The moment the name 'Jiang Rang' was mentioned, things took another turn.

“Jiang Rang…” Qi Jiu looked at Liu Yun beside her, “Is he the president of HSBC Entertainment?”

She didn't usually pay attention to these things, but HSBC Entertainment had some well-known artists, and the president had even appeared on television. She still remembered him somewhat.

"Yes, miss."

Qi Jiu nodded. This guy is something else. He's hooked up with a rich guy now. I really didn't realize it.

Anna caused quite a stir, drawing the attention of many on set. Now that Jiang Rang's name has been mentioned, discussions are slowly rising.

Because in their eyes, Anna's personality was not the kind that could lead her to marry a rich man.

"What are you saying!" Anna panicked; the words 'helpless' seemed to be written all over her face.

Ye Qianran laughed, "What are you pretending for? I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it's just that your lovey-dovey voices were too loud and disgusting! If Liu Yan knew that she lost to you, she would probably cry her eyes out."

When Liu Yan was mentioned again, Anna became completely flustered and panicked, crying out, "Stop talking! Stop talking!"

Standing aside, Qi Jiu and Liu Yun slowly turned their heads and looked at each other.

Willow smoke?

Anna was actually lying when she said she wasn't familiar with Liu Yan. According to the investigation, they used to be best friends; how could they not be close?

Eighty percent of the time, people joined this gathering because of her.

The farce ended badly, but it made others realize that Anna was not as harmless as she seemed.

"Miss Qi."

Liu Yun returned mysteriously and whispered something in her ear. Qi Jiu nodded and disappeared into the dressing room.

Filming is still ongoing on set.

She found another lounge and knocked on the door.

Ye Qianran opened the door. She seemed surprised to see Qi Jiu. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at Qi Jiu.

"It's you?"

Qi Jiu nodded, but before she could speak, the person in front of her had a complicated expression on their face. "You don't believe what I'm saying, do you?"

She sighed, "I'm telling the truth, Anna does have a close, disgusting relationship with Jiang Rang!"

The girl pursed her lips. "When did Liu Yan break up with Jiang Rang? Xiao Yan wouldn't tell me, but I know she was wronged."

Ye Qianran's expression changed when Liu Yan was mentioned.

"Are you and Liu Yan close? At first, I thought only someone like Anna, who pretends to be close to her, would be. She's just using the guise of best friend to freeload off her."

“We have a good relationship, but Xiaoyan doesn’t seem to want to talk about this. But I can’t bear to see her heartbroken. Depression is terrible.”

The two of them chatted back and forth, while Liu Yun, who was standing nearby, was completely dumbfounded.

Looking at Qi Jiu, his eyes gradually filled with admiration.

He admired people like that, who could lie so easily without a second thought, speaking as if it were the truth.

If he didn't know the reason behind this, he might have believed it.

Qi Jiu: "..." Thank you for the compliment.

After saying that, she touched the things Lin Chuan had given her in her pocket before she came to the film set.

"She has depression? That's definitely dangerous. I've warned her before, but she's still so careless."

Ye Qianran closed the door to the lounge and led the person inside.

"You should know that Liu Yan and Anna are very close. There's a saying, what's it again? Beware of fire, thieves, and best friends. Just about a week ago, Jiang Rang and Anna's affair was exposed right under Liu Yan's nose."

How did you know these things?

Let alone Jiang Rang and Ye Qianran's affair, Liu Yan concealed the matter so well that even the police station didn't notice.

Ye Qianran smiled and said, "I overheard it by chance and saw it by chance. Your scenes only started today, so you didn't know, but this project started before. Jiang Rang did come to the set."

Qi Jiu didn't disturb Ye Qianran any further. Listening to her account, the matter gradually became clear.

"Is Liu Yan... alright now?"

Although they weren't very close yet, Ye Qianran actually quite liked this person in terms of acting skills and character, but until now, she hadn't had the chance to meet him.

“Xiao Yan…” Qi Jiu leaned back, “Right now, you’re quite calm.”

Liu Yun: "..."

They've already become corpses, how could their emotions not be calm?

"That's good." Ye Qianran stood up. "After this incident, I really want to get to know her."

"...There might be a chance."

Police station interrogation room.

Qi Jiu looked at Lin Chuan, who was standing at the door with a melancholy expression, and knew that she had still gained nothing.

She looked at Jiang Hong, who looked exhausted, and pushed open the door to enter.

"How's your thinking coming up? If you still can't come up with anything, you'll be the prime suspect."

"No, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't frame Liu Yan. We were such good friends, she was my cash cow, how could I possibly kill her?"
