Side Story 39: Framed



When Li Muzi heard that the director wanted her to be a stunt double, she immediately panicked.

"No, I won't be a stand-in."

After all, she had someone tamper with the safety harness. If she climbed onto it, she would definitely fall.

"Li Muzi, you're the only one who can be my stand-in right now. How can you be so lacking in consideration for the bigger picture? If you don't agree, then don't blame me for finding a new second female lead."

The director was getting a little angry.

"Director, it's not that I don't want to be a stunt double, it's just that..."

Li Muzi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Seeing this, Chu Ruobai quickly told his assistant, "Go check the pressure system for me."

The assistant went and soon returned, whispering something in Chu Ruobai's ear.

Chu Ruobai immediately stood up in anger.

He stepped forward and spoke for Li Muzi, "She didn't want to be a stand-in because the pressure system had been tampered with. She already knew beforehand, so everyone, guess who did it?"

The director was surprised to hear this. "You mean the wire work was tampered with?"

He immediately ordered, "Go and check it out!"

So, the assistants went to check the harness and found that, sure enough, one of the ropes had been cut. It wasn't obvious, but if a person were hoisted up, the rope wouldn't be able to support the weight and the person would easily fall.

When they returned, they told the director about it, and the director was furious. "Investigate the surveillance footage immediately and see who watched it."

Upon reviewing the surveillance video, it was discovered that the camera was malfunctioning.

Now there's no evidence left.

Li Muzi immediately felt a chill run down her spine. Fortunately, she had destroyed the surveillance camera before cutting off the pressure device; otherwise, the investigation would have traced it back to her.

Now, there is no evidence left.

However, Song Ning already had the answer in her heart. She guessed it was Li Muzi who did it, just to make her fall off the pressure. Her intentions were truly despicable.

Chu Ruobai also realized that Li Muzi wanted to frame Song Ning, so he secretly told his bodyguard, "Keep an eye on Li Muzi. If she makes any unusual moves, be sure to notify me immediately."

"good."

During a break from filming, Song Ning went to the crew's dressing room to touch up her makeup.

As a result, when she finished touching up her makeup and wanted to go out, she suddenly found that she couldn't open the door.

"Strange, why can't the door be opened?"

Song Ning took out her phone and made a call, but found that there was no signal.

She then quickly banged on the door.

"Help! Is anyone there?"

At that moment, under a large tree outside, Li Muzi saw Song Ning enter the house and then be unable to come out, before letting out a smug chuckle.

Song Ning, oh Song Ning, you've got some nerve being arrogant.

I'm going to see how you get out when no one opens the door today.

Song Ning took photos for a long time, but no one came.

This dressing room has no windows; it's a closed room.

Now that the door is closed, it's a bit oxygen-deprived.

At this moment, Song Ning felt a little dizzy, so she quickly found a seat and sat down.

She picked up a mop and started banging on the door, hoping the knocking would alert someone passing by and rescue her!

Just then, Chu Ruobai happened to be nearby and heard the knocking coming from inside the door. He quickly went over, but the door was impossible to open.

He pressed his ear against the doorway and heard knocking coming from inside.

"Someone is trapped inside."

He then quickly rammed the door with his body, once, twice, three times...

Finally, the door was forced open.

Chu Ruobai ran inside and saw Song Ning at that moment.

Song Ning felt a little dizzy at that moment. When she saw the door finally open, a tall, slender man walked in.

At that moment, the sunlight shone on him, making it difficult to see his face clearly. For a split second, Song Ning even thought that the person who came in was Huo Beian.

"Huo Bei'an..."

Song Ning's eyes were glazed over as she murmured something before she fainted.

"Sister Song Ning."

Chu Ruobai immediately stepped forward, bent down, and picked her up. "How are you?"

He saw that her face was flushed and her lips were pale, as if she was lacking oxygen, so he quickly picked her up and rushed out.

At that moment, Li Muzi, who was in the distance, saw Chu Ruobai actually break down the door and carry Song Ning out. She was a little angry, but she quickly took out her phone and took a picture of the scene.

Hmph, a married woman flirting with a male actor.

Once the photos are out, let's see if you can still be a wealthy socialite.

Chu Ruobai carried Song Ning to the car and drove her to the hospital.

...

What a coincidence!

After finishing the meeting at the company, Huo Beian felt his eyelids twitching, as if he had a bad premonition.

He then canceled all other plans and drove directly to the film set.

He wanted to see his wife.

As a result, just as he parked his car in the parking space, he saw Chu Ruobai open the car door and get in. He glanced at the car casually and looked inside, only to find his wife there.

"daughter in law?"

Huo Beian thought he had misread it, so he ignored it, got out of the car, and walked towards the film crew.

As it turned out, he ran into Li Muzi, who immediately recognized him as Lian Sicheng.

"Lian Sicheng? What brings you here?"

Seeing that she was wearing a theatrical costume, Huo Beian knew she was an actress and asked her, "Have you seen Song Ning?"

Li Muzi deliberately hesitated, "This... how should I put it?"

Huo Beian's eyes narrowed. "What? Is there something you can't say?"

Li Muzi then took out her phone, pretending to be embarrassed, "I just saw her and Chu Ruobai... You can see for yourself."

Huo Beian took the phone and looked at the screen. It showed Song Ning being carried out of the room by Chu Ruobai.

Seeing this, he angrily threw his phone on the ground, and Li Muzi quickly bent down to pick it up.

Could the woman he just saw in Chu Ruobai's car really be his wife?

What exactly happened?

No, he needs to find out!

Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and strode away...

At this moment, in the hospital, Song Ning is lying on a hospital bed, and the doctor is examining him.

Are you alright?

Chu Ruobai stood to the side, somewhat worried.

After completing the examination, the doctor asked, "Are you his boyfriend?"

Chu Ruobai was a little embarrassed, "No... we're just... colleagues..."

The doctor looked at him suspiciously, then instantly understood, "Oh, I get it."

Chu Ruobai's inner monologue: Doctor, what do you understand now?!

"Doctor, please don't misunderstand...we..."

"It's alright, don't worry, I won't tell anyone." The doctor smiled mysteriously.

Chu Ruobai looked utterly dejected.

I hope they won't tell anyone, or that people will think they have some kind of shady relationship.

"The patient is a little hypoxic, and the pregnancy is unstable. She needs to rest well. You should all take it easy lately, especially with sexual activity; you must restrain yourselves."

After saying that, the doctor left.

The doctor's words made Chu Ruobai extremely embarrassed.

Okay, this doctor probably thinks he's some kind of adulterer, right?
