Her eyes held a resolute and unwavering determination. After all, this was no longer a time for her to hesitate. She had a premonition that an unexpected event was about to occur.

"Qiqi, don't be afraid, we're trying to figure something out!"

Yan Changning looked at the people in mid-air, sweating profusely with anxiety. "Quick! Bring out the rescue air mattresses from the film crew! Hurry!"

Nobody's focused on filming right now; this is a matter of life and death.

Qi Jiu looked at Tang Miaomiao standing on the bridge. Her expression didn't change much; she seemed to be thinking or daydreaming.

"Click!"

A soft voice came from behind her. The girl didn't turn around or panic. She just frowned slightly as she looked at the workers below who were hurriedly setting up the air mattresses and pursed her lips.

"It seems it's too late."

Her voice was soft, carried away by the wind.

Those around her naturally didn't hear her words, let alone know what she was saying.

Thinking it over, she looked at the river beside the bridge and, without the slightest hesitation, began to move. To everyone's astonishment, as the wire swayed, she plunged directly into the river the instant the rope snapped.

The movement was so fast that many people didn't even have time to react; all they could see when they looked up was a small splash of water.

"Thump!"

"Qiqi!"

Ling Yue, who wasn't originally supposed to be in this scene, suddenly appeared. When he arrived at Yan Changning's side, he just watched helplessly as Qi Jiu fell into the water, and he was instantly dumbfounded.

Looking at the splashes on the river, his heart skipped a beat. Was this an accident? Or...?

"Ling Yue, where are you going?"

Yan Changning, who was already frowning and extremely anxious, felt even more overwhelmed when she saw Ling Yue hurrying towards the river. It seemed her worst fears had come true.

Although the other person did not answer him, he seemed to have already figured out what he was going to do next, and stepped forward to stop him.

"Stop fooling around now!"

Ling Yue turned around with an unusually serious expression. "What if Qi Qi can't swim? Do you want me to just watch her drown?"

This is something he wouldn't do.

Besides, even if Qiqi can swim, it's not an easy task.

Upon hearing this, Yan Changning looked at Ling Yue's assistant's worried expression and really wanted to give him a good beating.

"It's so cold, don't go down there and get sick! I already called the crew's emergency medical services! There are more professional people than you going to help now!"

As Ling Yue turned around, he indeed saw people wearing swimsuits on the riverbank, preparing to go into the water.

"This matter is too serious. As one of the main actors in our production team, you can't afford to get hurt right now." Yan Changning's expression grew increasingly serious, which made Ling Yue obediently listen to her.

On the other side, Qi Jiu, who fell into the river, felt an icy chill sweep over her entire body the moment she entered the water.

She quickly adjusted her posture and swam skillfully towards the shore.

"Qiqi? Qiqi, are you alright?"

Yan Changning looked at the rescuers who hadn't yet gone into the water, then at Qi Jiu who was already swimming towards the shore. Without saying a word, she grabbed a towel from Fan Yi's hand and ran towards the shore.

"Fan Yi, could you please go and buy Qi Qi a cup of hot ginger soup now? It's so cold, and if Qi Qi falls into the water, she might get sick."

Falling into the water in such cold weather, catching a cold is already a mild consequence; if you also develop a fever, putting work aside, the throbbing headache would be unbearable.

"Okay, Teacher Ling Yue!"

Fan Yi nodded at him. Actually, she had already planned to do this, and even almost jumped in herself because she saw the rescue teacher moving so slowly.

After responding, she turned and left.

"Teacher Qi Jiu, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

At this moment, Tang Miaomiao looked at Qi Jiu with surprise as everyone gathered around. "How did you end up in the water?"

Yan Changning handed the towel to Qi Jiu, looked at Tang Miaomiao who was pretending to be surprised, and suddenly lowered her eyes as if she was thinking about something.

Qi Jiu, dripping wet from head to toe, nonchalantly dried her hair with a towel, looked at Tang Miaomiao, and smiled brightly. "Of course I'm fine, I'm perfectly sober now."

As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Yan Changning beside her. "By the way, Director, when the wire work went wrong, didn't the prop master notice anything unusual? If I hadn't reacted quickly today, someone might have died."

Yan Changning shook her head, "No, the props teacher doesn't know either, right now..."

"It's okay, there are security cameras at the places where the props are placed, right? Keep looking forward, we'll find the answer eventually. I believe the wire didn't break for no reason."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Jiu interrupted him.

At the same time, Tang Miaomiao felt that the girl's gaze was slightly off, whether it was her imagination or not.

And... there's surveillance?

How could that be? The whole place is rented. This is a great place to film period dramas. How could there be cameras everywhere to avoid looking out of place on camera?

That place wasn't meant for storing valuables...

Yan Changning was taken aback, but nodded when he saw the calm expression on Qi Jiu's face.

"Okay, I'll have someone investigate right away! Luckily, there's surveillance footage at the wire site. This is practically premeditated murder, and I'll make that person pay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw him walk straight away.

Upon seeing this, Tang Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat. Watching the figure gradually disappear, she began to have doubts.

"Assistant director, director, this is..." Even the director said this, could it be true? Is there really surveillance footage?

Tang Miaomiao looked at the assistant director next to her and tentatively opened her mouth to ask.

The assistant director grinned at her, "Of course she's going to check the surveillance footage."

He paused for a moment. "I just don't know if we can find it. The old surveillance cameras there are a bit outdated; I don't know if they'll still work..."

The last sentence seemed to be spoken to himself, and also to Tang Miaomiao.

Hearing this answer from the assistant director, Tang Miaomiao seemed even more nervous. She pursed her lips as she watched Yan Changning's disappearing figure.

Will we be discovered?

"What is Teacher Tang thinking about? Could it be that she has figured out who touched this wire? That would be wonderful." The girl looked at her thoughtful expression with a hint of joy on her face.

"Ah? Ah, no, I just suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Since Teacher Qi Jiu is alright, I'll take my leave now."

With that, Tang Miaomiao gave Qi Jiu a bright smile and then ran off.
