Thinking of this, Wen Yan immediately sent a private message to the netizen whose IP address was in Province A, asking her for more details about the lullaby.
She was very polite to the netizen. That netizen was a fan of Wen Yan's looks. Although she didn't know why Wen Yan was so interested in this lullaby, she immediately agreed to go home and ask her mother when she heard that Wen Yan wanted to hear the full version.
After thanking the netizens, Wen Yan put down her phone.
She leaned back in her car seat, lost in thought, and before she knew it, they were back in the city.
Although filming had wrapped up, Zhou Junye still kept her hotel room. After tidying herself up, she took a taxi to the hospital.
She went to visit Chai Zhaodi.
The doctor said that Chai Zhaodi's mental state has been visibly improving in the past two days, and she is much better than when she was first brought to the hospital.
This is good news.
Moreover, Wen Yan learned from the nurse that when Zhou Junye left the hospital last time, he secretly paid for Chai Zhaodi's medical expenses.
Therefore, as soon as she returned to her hotel room, Wen Yan immediately dialed Zhou Junye's number.
"Hello, Director Zhou, this is Wen Yan. I don't know if you've finished work yet, is it convenient for you to take a call?"
"Convenient, your call comes at the perfect time, I just finished work."
"That's great. I wanted to tell you that Chai Zhaodi is recovering very well. I wasn't thinking of bothering you about this, but I heard that you paid for her additional medical expenses, so I thought it would be better to tell you."
"So you're back in the city now."
"Yes. That's settled then, I won't disturb your rest any longer, Director."
Zhou Junye was with Shen Jinghe at this moment.
The two were very close, and although they weren't on speakerphone, Shen Jinghe could still hear Wen Yan's voice on the phone.
Hearing that Wen Yan was about to hang up, Shen Jinghe immediately gestured to Zhou Junye and quickly took out his phone to type a few keywords into the memo app.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Junye understood, immediately put down his phone, turned on speakerphone, and asked Wen Yan:
"By the way, did you go to the police station? Is there any progress on Chai Zhaodi's case?"
"I guess so, but I don't think so." Wen Yan briefly told Zhou Junye about the police's reply and the lullaby incident.
He then added, "I still felt there were some doubts. After returning to the city, I called the officer again to explain the situation, but he didn't agree with my point of view."
Zhou Junye had already made up his mind. At worst, he would let Chai Zhaodi stay in a mental hospital for the rest of her life. He and Wen Yan could afford that.
He even planned to persuade Wen Yan in the same way.
But Shen Jinghe suddenly typed another line on his phone screen.
'Ask her what her plans are.'
Zhou Junye was somewhat surprised and silently asked, "Are you going to get involved?"
Shen Jinghe quickly typed out another line of text.
'Anyway, they've already intervened.'
“Alright,” Zhou Junye lowered his voice to the lowest possible level, “then I’ll play along with you guys this time.”
Shen Jinghe chuckled, wondering who had insisted on suing the troublemaking assistant director and marketing account last time.
The two exchanged a glance, and Zhou Junye then asked Wen Yan, "So, are you still planning to investigate yourself?"
Wen Yan wasn't that arrogant: "I certainly don't have the ability to investigate on my own."
"So what you mean is?"
"Public opinion!" The two spoke almost simultaneously.
"Yes!" Wen Yan continued, "We can only ask kind netizens to help spread the word. By the way, when Chai Zhaodi was discovered that day, did any crew members film it?"
"some."
"Could you please ask Director Zhou for me to get this video? I'll process it and then release it. Some parts may need to be blurred out."
“I’ll do it. Let’s go all the way and do this together.”
"But...can you manage to handle all that?"
"You forgot, we're not just one person, but the entire crew."
Wen Yan was still a little worried: "When I called the police last time, some of my colleagues in the crew disagreed. If they have to put in extra effort because of my insistence, not only will they be unhappy, but I will also feel bad."
"Wen Yan, listen to the director, okay? You really don't need to worry about this."
...The crew is very busy right now, but there's still Shen Jinghe's team.
Currently, Shen Jinghe's studio has a relatively relaxed work schedule.
Wen Yan also chose to believe Zhou Junye: "Okay. I also took some photos of her at the hospital, I'll send them to you."
"Okay, and send me the snippet of the lullaby she hums too. By the way, since this is going to be exposed, the whole story needs to be explained clearly. Our production crew and you will definitely be mentioned, do you mind?"
"Let's blur it out a bit. If it gets exposed, it'll be social news. I'm not opposed to it, and I'd even be willing to be interviewed separately in the future, but there's no need to deliberately focus on it."
"Okay, that's what I meant too."
Just after ending the call, Wen Yan received a recording from a fan.
That was a local lullaby that her mother had specially asked a fan to sing.
Wen Yan listened to it countless times and concluded that it was indeed the song that Chai Zhaodi was humming.
So she compiled all her findings into text, audio recordings, and photos, and sent them to Zhou Junye.
Zhou Junye then forwarded all this information to Shen Jinghe.
-
Shen Jinghe Studio is extremely efficient.
That evening, during prime time, Wen Yan received a message from Zhou Junye.
'Check the trending topics'
Wen Yan immediately logged into the social media platform and saw these topics at a glance.
#Woman in Chains Found in Mountains During Filming Crew, Suspected of Human Trafficking#! Breaking News!
#Woman locked in dilapidated hut in remote mountains#! Breaking news!
#Chain Woman#
#TheSilentFilm Crew#
#Chen Jing and her coat#
Upon seeing the words "The Silent Film Crew," Wen Yan instinctively frowned.
They had clearly discussed on the phone that they couldn't focus on each other, and Director Zhou Junye had agreed, so how come the "Silent" crew is still trending on social media?
If you're going to try and ride this wave of popularity, then that's a bit unethical.
However, when Wen Yan clicked in, she realized that she had misunderstood.
They got this information leaked by a journalist who specializes in social commentary.
Although his revelations used a lot of materials provided by the production team and Wen Yan, he did not name the cast and crew of "The Voiceless" or any of the actors in the production team.
Throughout the interview, the reporter only used vague terms such as "a certain film crew" and "actors in the film crew".
Even so, the crew of "The Silent" was still exposed by netizens who are like Sherlock Holmes.
Some sharp-eyed fans even discovered that the jacket Chai Zhaodi was wearing when she was rescued was Shen Jinghe's personal clothing.
