Chapter 86 The crew disbands

[Host, 011 reminds you that you only have 20 hours, 18 minutes and 45 seconds left. ]

[Use remaining stealing skills x1]

【Looking forward to your performance, host. 】

Xu Zhizhi listened to the reminder of 011 in her ear without even lifting her eyelids.

The system knew that she no longer had the opportunity to use her stealing skills. Tomorrow's scene would not be about stealing, but about Wen Shui being framed and imprisoned.

The system was gloating over the misfortune. It was betting that Xu Zhizhi couldn't hold it back any longer and would find a way to use this last chance.

Just one exception.

As long as it crosses the psychological defense line, its goal will be achieved. In the future tasks, it will continue to push forward, constantly lowering Xu Zhizhi's psychological defense line and achieving the goal of making Xu Zhizhi commit a crime.

Once there is a problem, there will be another one. When Xu Zhizhi cannot complete the task, she will think of the previous violation. Naturally, Xu Zhizhi learns to "use the system correctly" and becomes a "qualified" host.

Xu Zhizhi didn't want to pay attention to it. Such a system was too bad.

Her initial impression that the system was terrifying and high-tech was amazing was now shattered. In her eyes, the system was now just a ruthless and sinister villain who became arrogant and insidious once he succeeded.

However, Xu Zhizhi was also thinking about how to use her last stealing skill. How to use it without committing a crime?

This is a bit difficult, Xu Zhizhi feels that she should think about it carefully.

Before I could figure out what was going on, the car arrived at the hospital.

After buying flowers and fruit baskets for visiting patients, Xu Zhizhi and Director Zhang entered the ward. The ward was luxurious and warm, and the decoration was also warm. If it weren't for the unique smell of hospital disinfectant in the air, one would think they were at home.

There was a man in his forties taking care of Qiu Xu in the ward. Xu Zhizhi remembered that he should be Qiu Xu's agent.

Qiu Xu doesn't seem to be married, so he has no wife and children to take care of him.

Seeing the two people coming in, the other party smiled and said, "Zhang Yan, you are here, please take a seat. Xu Zhizhi, you also sit down, be more casual, just treat it as your own home."

Feng Jie put the bouquet and fruit basket on the table and went outside to play with her phone. While hiding away, she also reported her schedule to Yun Ziwei to avoid any unexpected events. She didn't know where Xu Zhizhi was.

Xu Zhizhi and Zhang Yan sat next to each other. Zhang Yan spoke first, "I had a high fever yesterday and didn't receive any messages. I was too busy today and came just now. How is the situation?"

"It's okay. The fever has subsided and my strength has recovered a lot." Qiu Xu said with a smile.

Zhang Yan took a deep breath, his words were filled with guilt. He looked at Qiu Xu and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have invited you. Things are not going well for my crew, maybe something bad has been passed on to you."

Xu Zhizhi was sitting on the side, feeling at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she heard this.

What can save you, my superstitious director?

She didn't know what to say, so she just sat there quietly, listening to the two people talking.

Qiu Xu greeted Xu Zhizhi for a few words, then looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Why should we care about these things in our relationship? Besides, this is a health problem of mine, so how can I blame it on the crew and you? I'm old, and it's normal to have a cold and a fever. The weather hasn't been very good recently, so I can get sick easily. Don't worry about it."

"Hey, Brother Qiu, you have always been so kind. I know my own business. If something similar happens again, even if I don't want to film anymore, I will never let anything happen to you and Xu Zhizhi." Zhang Yan still looked guilty and insisted on putting the blame on himself.

Xu Zhizhi was suddenly cueed and looked at the two of them helplessly.

Qiu Xu looked at Zhang Yan helplessly, and was about to say something to persuade him, but he gave up in the end. He looked at Xu Zhizhi and forced a change of subject: "How is it? Zhizhi, are you still adapting to the type of filming you are doing now? We will have to do some dangerous actions later, and young people need to exercise and be careful not to hurt their waists. I was like that. I didn't pay attention in my early years and I just endured it. Now my waist is not so good..."

"I exercised," Xu Zhizhi said with a smile.

At this time, Qiu Xu's assistant came in with the payment slip, sorted the slip and put it in the file bag.

Qiu Xu's agent asked, "What's the situation?"

"The doctor said you have to stay in the hospital for two more days. It's easy to have a fever again if you go back." After the assistant finished speaking the doctor's instructions, he stood aside.

Zhang Yan started to talk a lot, asking Qiu Xu to have a good rest and work after he recovered.

Xu Zhizhi's eyes fell on Senior Qiu Xu, who had been in the entertainment industry for nearly twenty years and was a household name.

Her eyes fell on the other person's hands, and then on his face, "Mr. Qiu, please take good care of yourself! This movie is all thanks to you!"

"Hahahaha, little girl, you just speak so nicely. No wonder so many celebrity directors like you!" Qiu Xu's mouth opened wide due to the compliment, with humility and kindness in his eyes.

Xu Zhizhi smiled shyly and looked at Qiu Xu, "I'm sincere. We, the young actors of this generation, should learn from you, the older generations."

If Xu Zhizhi deliberately praises someone, then no one can withstand the praise.

Qiu Xu smiled with his eyes narrowed, pointing at Zhang Yan and looking at Xu Zhizhi, "Look, this little girl is dedicated and humble, and she respects her elders. She is really a rare good kid."

"You're too polite," Xu Zhizhi lowered her head slightly, as if ashamed to be complimented.

Zhang Yan smiled and agreed with Qiu Xu's words. For a moment, the whole ward was filled with harmony and Qiu Xu's spirits improved a lot.

At this time, Qiu Xu looked at Xu Zhizhi curiously, "Zhizhi learned how to steal locks just for the movie. I wonder where did you learn it?"

Zhang Yan also looked at Xu Zhizhi curiously. He was also curious about where Xu Zhizhi learned it. It was so good.

He had to slow down the footage he had filmed many times before to be able to see Xu Zhizhi's movements clearly. This movement was more powerful than that of a skilled thief.

Although there are fewer thieves nowadays, this industry was extremely prosperous in the early years. He had heard that talented people emerged among them, but he did not expect to see it in someone of Xu Zhizhi's age.

"I taught myself. I was born with quick hands, so learning these things comes easily to me." Xu Zhizhi said with an embarrassed smile.

Zhang Yan was curious, "Then can you show me how fast your hands are?"

He really wanted to know how talented Xu Zhizhi was to be able to master something so quickly.

Xu Zhizhi thought about it and took out a red rope from her bag.

This was what Shen Junyu had prayed for her in the temple before, saying it could ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. Mainly for peace of mind, Shen Junyu chose to believe in this for the sake of her daughter.

Xu Zhizhi thought she would braid it before wearing it when she got home, so she put it in her bag.

She took out the red rope, held it with her palm facing outward, and within three seconds, it became an overpass shape with a flower rope.

It is not a simple bridge with a few lines, but a bridge with a complicated shape and a relatively complete bridge shape.

An ordinary skilled person would need more than ten seconds, but Xu Zhizhi could do it in three seconds.

Zhang Yan's eyes widened, "So fast!"

"It's really amazing!" Qiu Xu sat up and stared at Xu Zhizhi with sparkling eyes.

Xu Zhizhi smiled, put down the red rope, and put it in her bag. "It's just a trifle," she looked at Qiu Xu and Zhang Yan seriously, "These things shouldn't exist in the first place. Stealing is not only a way to get something for nothing, but also a crime. It's better for us to eradicate this business."

"Yes, yes, yes. That's why the Thief King in my movie had a bad ending, and applied what he learned in the later part of the film to the right path!" Zhang Yan changed his posture, facing Xu Zhizhi, looking at her with sparkling eyes.

He felt that Xu Zhizhi was the person who understood what he wanted to shoot best, besides Qiu Xu!

He is so lucky to have someone who understands movies so well as the lead actor!

Brain-Filling Emperor·Zhang·Superstition Xu Zhizhi Lucky·Yan looked at the actors he had chosen and felt that he had a very good vision!

Qiu Xu on the side echoed, "Indeed."

But there was a hint of perfunctoriness in his tone, and his eyes subconsciously became less kind.

Xu Zhizhi pretended not to hear and said shyly, "It's all thanks to my seniors and the director's support."

The three of them chatted for a while, and finally it got dark, so Xu Zhizhi and Zhang Yan also said goodbye and left.

In the elevator, Zhang Yan said, "Alas, time is not kind to people. When I first met Brother Qiu, he was still a representative of tough guys, but now his health is getting worse. He was originally going to retire. If it weren't for me, he would not have participated in this movie."

"After this movie, he should officially retire from the entertainment industry and start to retire."

Xu Zhizhi smiled and said, "The movie is very well made, it should be a perfect ending for Brother Qiu's acting career."

"I hope," Zhang Yan sighed worriedly again, "it can be resolved as soon as possible so that the film can be finished smoothly. This way, I and Brother Qiu can fulfill our ideas."

Xu Zhizhi said "hmm", indicating that she hoped everything would go well.

For the next few minutes, no one spoke in the elevator; everyone was thinking about their own things.

The driver drove Xu Zhizhi's car to the hospital, and Xu Zhizhi and Zhang Yan waved goodbye.

Feng Jie looked at Xu Zhizhi and said, "Director Zhang is really too strong. If ordinary people were faced with such a situation, they would probably have been unable to withstand the pressure and would have stopped the film project."

Especially in a very superstitious situation, it is a rare persistence to continue filming.

"Yes," Xu Zhizhi nodded in agreement, "It's really rare for him to persist."

Xu Zhizhi lowered her head, thinking about the bottle.

She felt that she was being too paranoid. It was normal to mop and wipe the floor and tabletops clean during filming on the set, and water stains did not mean anything.

She had seen the GG brand before. Although she couldn't see it clearly from a few meters away, it should be fine.

Maybe it's just a coincidence?

Fever is something that is very difficult to control artificially.

She looked at Qiu Xu's hand, which was covered with a medical Band-Aid. He had just finished an infusion and it looked like he was really sick.

Because Qiu Xu knew about the Thief King, Xu Zhizhi had tried to test him, but he was not interested and looked disinterested.

After getting nothing out of this, Xu Zhizhi suspected that she was too suspicious.

Xu Zhizhi was also thinking, maybe all the things happened at the same time, the GG card fell down because it was not fixed properly, and it just happened to fall down. As for seeing the shadow that scared him, maybe it was caused by nervous tension?

After all, the atmosphere on the set is there, and some people are afraid, so it is easy for them to have illusions.

Xu Zhizhi pondered and felt that she was caught in a whirlpool.

The existence of the criminal system and the things happening around her made her wonder if she was involved in something strange again.

If we were to look at it as a single incident, the case of the body in the safe should have been concluded, and everything around me should be normal now.

Xu Zhizhi was worried. She felt that she was overthinking and suspicious, but she also felt that she was really sick of cats. Her mind was jumping back and forth, and she lay down on the sofa and pretended that she had fallen asleep peacefully.

The phone vibrated and Xu Zhizhi picked it up and took a look.

Qin Suo: The surveillance confirmed that it was spliced. Under slow analysis, several frames of splicing problems appeared. Now we are trying to restore the video. But it may be useless. The task force will investigate the scene again.

Xu Zhizhi read it carefully, thought about it and replied.

Knowing is not knowing: It is not easy to recover, so be prepared. But I think we can profile the other party based on their age and habits, and recheck the scene. The other party can get the situation on the scene and replicate it. This requires very professional photos to be preserved, and even a good memory is not enough.

Qin Su helped her solve the problem perfectly, so she should also do her best to help.

Qin Su: Okay, we are constantly checking the situation of previous visitors to the museum and those who visited from inside.

Qin Su accepted Xu Zhizhi's suggestion well and was not impatient at all.

After reading it, Xu Zhizhi felt that there was really nothing she could do to help.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhizhi suddenly remembered that the previous simulation was not over yet!

However, after the interruption, she needed to re-enter. Xu Zhizhi closed her eyes, covered herself with a blanket, and then restarted the simulation.

After the malicious value can be brushed, it becomes much easier for Xu Zhizhi to use the criminal system to do anything, and he no longer has to worry about the malicious value issue.

The simulation was exactly the same as before, because Qin Su provided very detailed pictures and video data of the scene. So during the simulation, Xu Zhizhi was almost at the scene.

Every blade of grass, every tree, every table and every chair are done to perfection.

The second time Xu Zhizhi did not stop looking, but continued to watch carefully.

The person who cleaned it was well dressed, and the cleaning liquid he used was probably specially formulated to clean the marks left behind very well without leaving any water marks, etc. The corners of the lock and even the inside of the safe were all cleaned thoroughly.

Xu Zhizhi was standing nearby and could sense his mental state, the kind that only people with obsessive-compulsive disorder experience.

It is easy for ordinary people to get tired of doing this, because every corner needs to be cleaned. Not a single speck of dust or dirt is left, and every strand of hair and possible biological specimens must be picked up. During this process, you have to be very cautious. For ordinary people, this is a very difficult task to accomplish.

You won't persist for long before you start to wonder why you are working yourself to death. People don't live to work.

The fact that the person in front of me could complete the task meticulously within such a long period of time was enough to prove that he had a certain degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After the other party was treated, he left without changing the angle of the mask on his face.

Xu Zhizhi followed him out, and the other party cleared all remaining traces.

The three of them gathered together until they got in the car and left.

In the car, the man hacked all the surveillance.

When Xu Zhizhi was studying law, she heard their professor say this.

Surveillance, to a large extent, suppresses the criminals' desire to commit crimes. If serial killers need to avoid surveillance, they will be less rampant because they also know what will happen if they are caught.

In their hearts, they are actually afraid of the public power they face.

Because they realize that the law can take away everything from them.

Arrogance is largely just a pretense. There are very, very few people who are not afraid at all when facing the death penalty.

Another thing that suppresses crime is that the physical fitness of criminals who are not caught decreases over time.

They are afraid that the victim will fight back and they will become lambs to be slaughtered.

These people are young, so hacking surveillance is like having nothing to worry about for them.

Then Xu Zhizhi wondered why the other party only stole that one painting?

Although there are small safes in the safe, everything is locked. But for a thief with experience in lock picking, it is not difficult.

The other party only stole a painting. Isn’t that a bit too unfair?

Although this painting is worth hundreds of millions, it is clear that profits can be maximized.

The crime simulation ended and Xu Zhizhi opened his eyes.

She felt that she had got the whole thing wrong and that this painting might be the point.

However, Qin Su did not tell her about the painting. He only said that it was a famous artist's painting called "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".

It is extremely valuable and has great research value. It has been handled by countless famous artists from ancient times to the present.

Xu Zhizhi thought about it, did some searching, and looked at the magnificent scroll picture with a slightly frosted expression.

It would be difficult to sell this painting if it was stolen!

Smuggling out?

The risk is too high!

Or was he secretly sold to someone, or was he commissioned to steal the painting?

Xu Zhizhi felt that the latter answer was more reliable, and this answer was closer to why the other party did not take anything else but only took this painting.

She did not ask Qin Su for information because he probably knew about the same thing as she did.

Xu Zhizhi always felt that something was about to come out.

Just as Xu Zhizhi was thinking, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Xu Zhizhi looked and saw that it was Yun Ziwei's call.

She picked up the phone, and Yun Ziwei's voice rang out urgently, "Go to the hospital quickly, Zhang Yan is in trouble!"

Xu Zhizhi sat up quickly from the sofa, as if she had heard it wrongly. After a while, she realized that something might have really happened!

"Which hospital! What happened?" Xu Zhizhi asked Yun Ziwei while putting on her slippers.

Yun Ziwei paused for a moment, as if confirming the information, and then said, "Beijing Second People's Hospital, where you went after the car accident. Now you are in the emergency department. There are reporters there. There are many messages on the Internet saying that the movie is not clear. When you go there, remember not to give metaphysical answers."

Even if they feel bad and like they have offended someone, they cannot publicize this to the outside world.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes right away and drive to the hospital as quickly as possible," Xu Zhizhi put on her coat, went to the entrance to put on her shoes, then picked up the car keys and left quickly.

Since something like this happened to Zhang Yan, she, as the lead actor, must appear on the scene.

Moreover, Zhang Yan took good care of her. Although he was very superstitious, he never blamed his bad luck on others. He exorcised evil spirits and evil spirits for the crew and himself.

So even though she was often left speechless by other people's words and didn't know how to respond, Xu Zhizhi never disliked such people.

Now that she heard that he was in trouble, Xu Zhizhi was more anxious than anyone else, fearing that something might really happen to Zhang Yan.

When Xu Zhizhi rushed to the hospital, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

When she got off the car, there were many reporters squatting at the emergency room entrance.

They didn't dare go in for the interview because they would be kicked out. The assistant director of the crew had already arrived and maintained the situation on the scene.

At the same time, they also knew that going in was useless. If the treatment was delayed, the media they worked for would become the target of criticism. Zhang Yan was not some unknown person.

When they saw Xu Zhizhi, the reporters stood up and surrounded her.

"Xu Zhizhi, may I ask if there have been a series of accidents on the set?"

"How serious is Director Zhang Yan's injury? Is his life in danger?"

"Xu Zhizhi, please explain to us whether the crew encountered some supernatural events."

Xu Zhizhi knew that Yun Ziwei had asked her to come here purely to calm the public opinion. Dealing with these reporters and preventing the incident from taking a weird direction on the Internet would be a favor to Zhang Yan.

If Xu Zhizhi couldn't shrink back and didn't say a word, when Zhang Yan got better and public opinion was not good, Xu Zhizhi would also be affected by the metaphysical public opinion.

Let's just take direct action, dispel some metaphysical theories, and attribute the incident to an accident.

No matter what happens at that time, whether to shoot or not, it will be beneficial to Xu Zhizhi.

As Feng Jie was on her way, Xu Zhizhi was surrounded by people. She looked at the media, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I just received the news about Director Zhang's accident. I don't know about his injuries or what kind of accident he encountered. As for metaphysics, I can only say it's nonsense. Don't believe it. Finally, when Director Zhang is fine, I will come out and give everyone an explanation."

"I'm going to go in and visit Director Zhang now. Please make way for me."

Xu Zhizhi had a strong aura and considerable strength, so she easily found a way for herself.

The assistant director and a young woman were standing at the door. When they saw Xu Zhizhi coming, the assistant director said, "Let's go in and talk. They won't come in."

The young woman's eyes turned red and she nodded slightly at Xu Zhizhi.

When we entered the emergency room, the assistant director introduced us, "This is Director Zhang's wife. You can call her Sister Qing!"

"Hello, Sister Qing," Xu Zhizhi called out.

Zhao Qing looked at Xu Zhizhi, "It's rare that you came and patiently explained to those people outside."

Zhao Qing couldn't explain anything in front of so many cameras and microphones. The assistant director had to watch the situation, and Xu Zhizhi, as the heroine who knew the crew and had officially joined the group, was the one who came to explain.

"It's okay. What's wrong with Director Zhang? How could an accident happen suddenly?" Xu Zhizhi looked at Zhao Qing and asked with some concern.

The fact that he was sent to the emergency room meant it was definitely not a simple accident.

Zhao Qing lowered his eyes after hearing this, took a deep breath and said, "It's unfortunate, let's go out and have some supper. He's been under a lot of pressure recently, and wants to drink some wine to relieve it..."

It just happened that they had just gone out and were about to have a drink.

For the sake of atmosphere, the two chose an open-air bar they often go to and found a seat. Before they started drinking, the wooden frame they built for decoration collapsed.

The wooden beam in the middle that served as a support hit Zhang Yan's head suddenly, leaving a big gash in his head.

They immediately called 120 for emergency assistance and sent him to the emergency room for stitches.

Unexpectedly, someone recognized Zhang Yan and took a video and posted it online.

In addition, Xu Zhizhi from the crew was in a car accident, Qiu Xu was almost hit by a GG brand and had a high fever that night, and the so-called insiders of the crew broke the news that various strange incidents had occurred on the crew.

When Xu Zhizhi received the call, the crew had been on several trending searches.

After listening to this, Xu Zhizhi frowned slightly and picked up her phone to check.

Sure enough, the news about his injury a few days ago became a hot topic again.

The remaining titles are more shocking.

There were #Qiu Xu was almost hit by a GG brand and had a high fever#, #strange incidents on the set of "The Sky-stealing Plan"#, #the crew director was hit by a wooden beam and was seriously injured#, etc.

"The official Weibo account of the film crew will release a rumor later, and I will retweet it on Weibo to spread the news." Xu Zhizhi looked at the assistant director and said.

As for how to write a rumor debunking article, Xu Zhizhi knows that those who have been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years know how to write it.

The assistant director was panicking and muttering that the crew was evil, feeling uneasy.

Only after hearing Xu Zhizhi's words did he come to his senses and start thinking about refuting the rumor.

In the final analysis, we should dispel the rumors first, and then talk about what the crew should do, but they must not be ruined by rumors.

At this time, Qiu Xu, who was also in the hospital, came, wearing a thin black coat and a hospital gown underneath.

It's spring now, and for middle-aged and elderly people, this is the way to keep warm.

He was supported by his assistant and came from the other side of the hospital emergency room, to the ward corridor. He looked at Zhao Qing and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, how is Zhang Yan!"

"Brother Qiu, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come?" Zhao Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help support the somewhat weak Qiu Xu, and said with a hint of anger in his tone.

Xu Zhizhi also echoed, "We are enough here. Senior Qiu's coming here is too exhausting. You should rest more."

"I won't feel at ease if you don't come!" Qiu Xu said worriedly.

The assistant director then gave some advice, hoping Qiu Xu would go back.

He is currently editing the copy explaining and refuting the rumor so that it can be sent out when the time comes.

At this time, Zhang Yan, who had been bandaged with sutures, was pushed out in a wheelchair.

The doctor looked at the people at the scene, paused at Xu Zhizhi, and then fell on Zhao Qing, "Zhang Yan's family, I will remind you of some precautions, and then go to arrange for hospitalization. Observe today, and if there is no problem after the examination, you can be discharged from the hospital."

Zhao Qing picked up her bag and quickly rushed to the doctor, lowering her head and listening to what the doctor told her not to do and how to go through the admission procedures.

After the doctor left, everyone started to get busy, arranging admission procedures, getting medicines, etc.

Xu Zhizhi looked at Zhang Yan, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he looked clear-headed, except for the bandages on his forehead and hands.

Fortunately, it was not a serious problem and was less serious than her car accident.

She took the initiative to help and was eventually admitted to the hospital successfully.

Zhang Yan remained silent all the way, and it was obvious that he was very uneasy inside.

When Feng Jie came, she brought things for visiting patients, and the assistants were all in the meeting room outside.

Xu Zhizhi stood in the ward, watching the nurse measure his blood pressure and instruct him to change his dressings, etc.

Others were waiting in the ward, either standing or sitting.

After watching the people leave, Zhang Yan looked at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Zhizhi, "I may have to break my promise. I want to put this movie on hold for the time being."

The scene fell into silence.

Xu Zhizhi held the bag and frowned slightly.

Others didn't say anything because they didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yan looked at everyone, with deep guilt in his eyes, because the film had been in preparation for a long time. Giving up like this inevitably had some complicated emotions.

The investment in the movie is huge, and if it weren't for this force majeure factor, he really didn't want to stop.

Fortunately, most of the investment was made by himself, and he could convince the other party to make up the remaining part himself.

He was really scared, not because he was injured, but because he didn't want anyone else to get hurt.

If someone dies, he will be guilty of a serious crime.

While he was getting stitches in the emergency room, he thought carefully that perhaps it was because of his blasphemy against the Thief King that he had been causing trouble for the crew.

As long as you don't stop, the other party will not give up.

Only by stopping can the crew avoid encountering those strange things again.

"Do you really want to give up?" Zhao Qing said helplessly.

The assistant director also said, "It would be a shame to give up, the filming has already started."

Xu Zhizhi stood there. She really didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now looking at Zhang Yan with a bloody head, she felt a little hesitant.

Maybe? Not filming is the best ending?

Sitting on the sofa, Qiu Xu, who looked a little weak, said seriously: "If you don't want to shoot, then don't shoot! You can shoot other things, too. I support you!"

He was the first person to support it, and as he spoke, Zhang Yan's frown relaxed a lot.

He originally thought that it would be difficult to explain to Qiu Xu, but now that he saw Qiu Xu supported him, he felt much better.

"Brother Qiu, I will definitely find another suitable script for you to film!" Zhang Yan promised earnestly, and then looked at Xu Zhizhi, "I wonder if the salary can be used to book your next movie. I will also invite you to be the female lead."

Xu Zhizhi's acting skills are good and she can play many roles. It was difficult for him to cancel the contract directly, so he made this arrangement.

Zhao Qing opened her mouth, not to deny Xu Zhizhi from being the heroine of the next movie, but she wanted Zhang Yan to reconsider. They invested tens of millions in this movie, it would be a pity to let it go to waste.

But since Xu Zhizhi didn't say anything, she didn't say anything.

And she also wanted to take care of her husband's feelings because he was the one who was hurt, so it was a bit cruel for her to say that.

Xu Zhizhi looked at everyone's reactions and finally nodded helplessly.

"Okay, I accept your arrangement." Xu Zhizhi said softly.

She was paid for the film, and if she said anything more, it would seem a bit ungrateful.

But the script is good, and if it is filmed and released, it should be a very successful movie.

It's a pity to be abandoned.

The assistant director didn't say anything. After all, they had no control over the matter.

Zhang Yan looked at Xu Zhizhi, sighed, and turned to the assistant director, "Although this decision has been made, we won't announce the news for now. We can just simply refute the rumor."

He had heard the whole story while on his way to the hospital, and knew that if the announcement was made now, public opinion would be very heated, and they would probably become the most bizarre drama crew in China.

Wait a month or two and netizens will forget about this matter, then make a low-key announcement that the film will not be shot for other reasons.

"Okay, I'll arrange it," the assistant director nodded.

This is the end of the matter.

It was already 1 a.m. when Xu Zhizhi left the hospital. Feng Jie also knew the news and comforted Xu Zhizhi: "Didn't you get paid for the film? You are also a victim in this matter."

If these things were really related to the crew, Xu Zhizhi was innocent. Fortunately, she had money, which could comfort her hurt heart.

"I didn't expect that I would come across a production crew that had already started filming but had failed." Xu Zhizhi said, holding her phone, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Feng Jie also nodded, agreeing with Xu Zhizhi's point of view, "I didn't expect it either. This is too sudden."

Xu Zhizhi's mind was a little confused. The car accident, various accidents, and system tasks in the past few days were all mixed up in her mind. There was also Qin Su's theft case and Murong Yue's affairs interfering with her.

Apart from these, there is also a safe-deposit box corpse case that doesn't require her to think too much.

This made her feel confused. For the first time, she felt that the CPU was not working.

Also, there are bound to be accidents when joining a group, which makes Xu Zhizhi a little exhausted.

But she never told anyone these things.

She lay in the car seat, buckled up, looking at the bright lights outside.

The bustling city is still brightly lit even in the early morning.

She felt that she needed a little thinking to find everything she wanted among all the things that were so numerous.

Xu Zhizhi returned home, and only after washing up did she feel relieved.

Although he lost the chance to be the heroine, fortunately he got the money.

She picked up the red wine from the wine rack, opened it clumsily, poured a little and drank it.

Tsk, it tastes a bit hard.

She poured a little more and decided to drink it and then go to sleep, since she didn't need to get up early for work the next day.

The cell phone in the living room rang. Xu Zhizhi walked over, picked it up and saw that it was Qin Su's call.

Xu Zhizhi answered the call and said aggrievedly, "What's the matter?"

She wanted to rest and didn't want to answer any more questions.

"...What's your home password?" Qin Su asked.

Xu Zhizhi thought for a moment and replied: "0258963..."

After Xu Zhizhi answered, she heard the sound of someone typing a password.

After a while, Qin Su walked in and looked at Xu Zhizhi who was drinking.

"Have you been drinking?" Qin Su asked.

Xu Zhizhi nodded and said, "I drank a little bit to help me sleep."

Qin Su looked at Xu Zhizhi, who was obviously in a bad mood, took out the small cake he bought and placed it on the small tea table next to the sofa in the living room and said, "I have nothing to do with you. Why are you feeling wronged?"

"I thought you were asking me about the case again. I feel confused and don't want to answer." Xu Zhizhi put down the wine glass, took another glass, poured one and handed it to Qin Su.

She was not afraid of drunken sex. No matter what, Qin Su would not be that kind of person and would not take advantage of others in distress.

Qin Su didn't like red wine very much, so he waved his hand after drinking it, took out the small cake he bought and put it in front of Xu Zhizhi, "You were complaining about wanting to eat it before, so I bought one when I came back from stalking. I was planning to buy it tomorrow, but I saw on the news that you were in the hospital, so I bought it tonight and brought it to you."

Qin Su's eyes were deep and serious. He was wearing a pure black windbreaker, a thin sweater inside, and black casual pants. Standing next to Xu Zhizhi, he was a full head taller than her, making Xu Zhizhi, who was wearing long-sleeved black silk pajamas, look much smaller.

His slender hands were holding a transparent cake bag, and inside the equally transparent cake box was Xu Zhizhi's favorite chocolate mousse cake, decorated with seasonal fruits.

Xu Zhizhi looked down, then stretched out her slender white index finger to hook the bag.

Doing this inevitably caused their skin to touch. Xu Zhizhi shuddered in her heart, quickly took it, and whispered, "Thank you..."

It was the first time that she spoke so softly in front of Qin Su, and she felt something was wrong.

"No need." Qin Su retracted his hand, rubbed the place that was touched, and looked at Xu Zhizhi who lowered his head: "Eat something, eat something to feel better."

Xu Zhizhi hummed, without looking up, put the things on the coffee table on the other side, opened it and looked at the beautiful cake inside.

She always eats small meals frequently, so a cake in the evening is nothing.

After a while, she calmed down, a smile appeared on her face, and she picked up the fork and started eating.

Sweets really make people happy, and Xu Zhizhi's brows also relaxed.

Qin Su looked at her and watched her eat quietly.

It was not until she finished eating that Xu Zhizhi noticed that Qin Su had been looking at her.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have vented my emotions on you," Xu Zhizhi said embarrassedly, thinking of the resentment in her previous words.

Qin Su shook his head, took the fork from her hand naturally, then packed the box and bag and threw it into the trash can.

After doing all this, he said, "It's nothing. Can you tell me what's going on with your crew? I might have a different idea."

When it comes down to it, the two things that can make a person unexpectedly in a bad mood are love and career.

If Xu Zhizhi didn't suffer any setbacks in love, then the only problem would be her career.

Combined with the hot searches on the crew, Qin Su could easily guess the details.

Another thing is that Qin Suo felt that these things were not that simple. There was no peaceful crew that Xu Zhizhi had experienced. The body-hiding case in the safe was a small matter compared to the previous cases. Qin Suo felt that there were other secrets in the crew.

Xu Zhizhi took off her shoes, covered her feet with a blanket, and slowly told the crew what had happened and Zhang Yan's decision tonight.

This is really a problem for Xu Zhizhi, as she is focusing on her career! There are not many movies that highlight the heroine in this way, and she really doesn't want to give up.

It would be nice not to work so hard to get millions, but she wanted to make this movie, not the next one that the other party promised.

Qin Su listened and pondered for a moment.

He asked curiously, "I want to hear what you thought initially."

"I just feel that it's not a coincidence. It seems like these accidents were deliberately created. I just can't understand why they did this." Xu Zhizhi said truthfully.

This was her first instinct.

But this idea was later refuted because there were no beneficiaries.

If there are no beneficiaries, why do this and go through so much trouble?

Qin Su thought carefully and said, "Then let's analyze the purpose! If all this is intentional, then what is the other party's purpose?"

Xu Zhizhi lowered her eyes and drooped her eyelashes.

Purpose, what is the other party’s purpose.

This is a bit hard to imagine.

There is no benefit, only the purpose that can be achieved in this way.

You've made such a big deal about something that harms others and does not benefit yourself. Aren't you afraid that it will be discovered and difficult to deal with?

Xu Zhizhi widened her eyes, tilted her head and looked at Qin Su, and said with a sincere heart: "To not make this movie?"

Qin Su chuckled and nodded slightly to confirm Xu Zhizhi's idea.

Xu Zhizhi added: "The goal is not to look at the beginning, but the result. Judging from what is happening at this stage, the result the other party wants to achieve is actually very clear, which is to stop the filming of the movie."

"I just don't know why the other party did this..."
