"Why?"
On the top floor of the hall, a woman in a white dress wearing a veil grabbed the man's arm. "We agreed to expose each other together, why are you so scared? Do you know what I went through the past few days?"
"Oh dear, this isn't the company's fault. You wanted to do it yourself. I advised you against it before. Don't be unreasonable, okay?"
Xiong Qi shook off the other person's hand, his eyes filled with disgust.
"No wonder Lulu said you've been acting strangely lately. You're really scary! We're having an event here! Stop acting crazy!"
"So what do you mean? You're choosing to side with the company?"
Even after being shaken off, the girl persisted, grabbing his arm again, her eyes pleading, "Do you know how many people this company has harmed? They've cheated more than just me; there are so many victims! Please help me! We can't let any more people be scammed—"
Hearing the girl's words, Xiong Qi felt a little guilty and annoyed. He pulled his hand away and shoved her hard, saying, "You old hag, get lost! Don't interfere with my work, okay?"
Whether it was because his actions were too violent, or because the girl was now terribly thin, this push actually sent her tumbling over the railing behind her.
At that moment, both of them opened their eyes wide.
The girl's pupils reflected the back of that person who turned and ran away without hesitation.
...
"Is she going to jump off a building? What's going on?"
"Oh my god, how did she get stuck up there? That's so dangerous! Quick, help her—"
"Hang in there!"
"Where's security? Get them up there and rescue them!"
A group of people stood on the periphery of the center of the front hall, all looking up, leaving a large empty space in the originally open central hall.
In their view, a girl in a white dress was clinging to the bottom of the top railing, her body dangling in mid-air, seemingly on the verge of collapse and falling from the top at any moment.
The commotion at the entrance of the lobby directly affected the activities in the main hall. People who were sitting at the awards ceremony gradually heard about the chaos outside.
What happened?
Hou Rongxuan, who was sitting in front, glanced back and saw that several staff members were rushing out of the internal passage next to the stage. They looked flustered and were weaving back and forth in the crowd, as if something big had happened outside.
Screenwriter Xia Ze sat up straight, but his gaze first swept to the empty seat next to him, and then he frowned: "None of them have come back."
Xia Ze had a bad feeling. He stood up and said to Hou Rongxuan, "Let's go out and take a look. I have a feeling something is wrong."
Hou Rongxuan also noticed something, and the rest of the crew gradually stood up as well.
At the same time, Liu Rulan, who was behind her, also heard the commotion outside.
As agents, they naturally cannot accompany their artists to the event, nor can they sit with their artists and appear in photos together.
Therefore, the organizers usually arrange their positions in a back position that is out of camera range, so as to avoid the logistics team being in the shot.
Because they were sitting on the back side, closest to the entrance and exit, they were the first to hear the noise and understand the situation.
"Someone fell from the building?"
Liu Rulan looked somewhat shocked, and she subconsciously stood up, glancing at the "No Bait" film crew's location in front of her.
—The person I was most worried about wasn't there!
Without any hesitation, Liu Rulan got up and walked outside.
The corridor was already crowded with people, who had obviously heard about what was happening outside and wanted to rush over to check. Liu Rulan frowned, deftly weaved through the crowd, and jogged quickly toward the front hall.
When she arrived at the scene, she heard gasps of surprise from passersby.
"Oh no, she can't hold on much longer!"
"Ah! She let go!"
"Oh my god!"
"Ahhh!"
A commotion broke out among the surrounding crowd, some of whom were too afraid to look at the scene. Liu Rulan, however, pushed through the crowd and scanned the area ahead.
The foyer is an openwork structure, with the dome visible from the center. Guests entering the awards hall must pass through this area, but this path is currently blocked.
Faced with the risk that someone could fall from above at any moment, no one dared to cross this area anymore, and instead they all took detours to avoid the dome.
