"They're getting ready to leave, aren't they?"
Su Mu spoke, and what was meant by a question turned out to be an affirmation.
“Yes, Director Wu said that Jingjing is missing and her whereabouts are unknown. Mo Yanyan has a fever and a cold and is not feeling well. The whole crew is in a panic. The filming schedule has to be put on hold. We need to leave here and wait until we find Jingjing before making any further plans.” Zhang Heng looked at Su Mu and relayed everything Wu Dan had said to him.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu's lips curled into a cold smile: "Tell Director Wu that his arrangement is reasonable and I have no objection. However, the female lead of this drama is Jingjing, now and in the future! This is a fact that will never change!"
He would never believe that his Jingjing was dead.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Okay, I'll go tell Director Wu right away." Zhang Heng said, put down the porridge, and left.
Zhang Heng didn't have a good impression of Director Wu either. He went to Director Wu's room to convey Su Mu's message and then left.
"Director Wu, what does Su Mu mean? Even if he's a movie star, what he said is going too far! You're the director, does he want to interfere with your casting?" In the director's room, the assistant director spoke up for Director Wu, looking indignant.
"Alright, alright, who are you yelling about in the middle of the night for? What's wrong with interfering with my casting? Hasn't this kind of thing happened before in the entertainment industry? Let me tell you, Su Mu, this movie star, is different from other movie stars. I know you. You can say these things to me, but don't go around saying them outside. Be careful what you say, or I won't be able to protect you!"
Director Wu glared at the assistant director and spoke sternly to remind him.
"Director Wu, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I know what I should and shouldn't do." The assistant director immediately flattered Director Wu, while also testing his attitude: "Director Wu, you know, everyone has been working so hard today, and all the signs indicate that Mo Jingjing accidentally fell off a cliff. We've invested so much in this drama, we can't just put it on hold because of one person's departure. I happen to have a good candidate here, someone who perfectly fits the image of our female lead..."
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest. You need to take a car to leave tomorrow, we can talk about these things later." The director impatiently interrupted the assistant director and shooed him out.
That night, Su Mu did not sleep a wink.
It was as if they were waiting for something.
At six o'clock in the morning, while everyone was still fast asleep, a "ding" sounded, and a text message notification rang in Su Mu's ear. Upon hearing the sound, Su Mu immediately took out his phone to see what it was. After reading the text message, Su Mu was instantly unsettled.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Everyone in the crew had packed up and was ready to leave.
To everyone's surprise, just as everyone was loading their luggage onto the vehicle, Su Mu and Zhang Heng also came out with their luggage.
Seeing this, the director looked surprised: "Su Mu, you...you want to come with us? I know you've been thinking about Mo Jingjing. I've already spoken to the village chief, and you can stay here for a couple more days."
"Su Mu, Zhang Heng, what do you mean by this? You also believe that Jingjing has died? Su Mu, have you lost your mind? You stayed up all night and went crazy. It's one thing for others to give up, but you actually gave up like this!" Cheng Meng chased after him, looking at Su Mu with a surprised expression. Ignoring the presence of others, she directly and loudly accused him.
Looking at Cheng Meng in front of him, Su Mu said coldly, "Brother Zhang, watch your girlfriend's mouth, or you'll get into trouble."
"Su Mu, you get in the car first. I'll talk to Mengmeng." Zhang Heng was in a somewhat awkward position, being in the middle.
After saying that, he walked straight towards Cheng Meng, wanting to pull her into the house, but Cheng Meng, who was in a fit of anger, wouldn't let him touch her at all: "Zhang Heng, get out of my way! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You just want to pull me into the house, shut me up, and stop me from saying so much, right? In the past, people mocked actors for being heartless. I always thought that the ancients were prejudiced. But it turns out that I was too naive. Some actors really are heartless!"
"No, it's not just heartless, it's utterly ruthless!"
"Su Mu, I now seriously suspect that everything you did yesterday was an act. When you and Jingjing were deeply in love, you were all lovey-dovey, but now aren't you afraid that Jingjing will come back and break your legs!"
Cheng Meng was still angry and kept rambling on and on, cursing.
In her heart, she believed that Su Mu and Mo Jingjing were an inseparable couple, and everyone should leave, but he shouldn't leave. Everyone else believed that Mo Jingjing was dead, but he shouldn't have believed it!
But now, in her eyes, Su Mu's departure is tantamount to betrayal...
When Cheng Meng gets stubborn, she's even more stubborn than a bull!
She hadn't finished scolding him yet, so how could she allow Zhang Heng to drag her into the house so easily? Zhang Heng really used all his strength, pulling and dragging Cheng Meng in by force.
The director in the courtyard also helped him out, yelling at the onlookers: "Alright, alright, what's so interesting that you don't want to leave? Let me tell you, the car won't wait for you. Anyone who thinks the scenery here is beautiful and doesn't want to leave can stay. As for how to get back, figure it out yourselves!"
After saying that, the director immediately left with Su Mu.
After Zhang Heng's repeated explanations, the other actors gradually left.
"Alright, Mengmeng, stop making a fuss. I understand how you feel right now, but you should also understand Su Mu. As the saying goes, the show is more important than anything else. Besides, no one knows when something like this will suddenly happen. Su Mu is also very sad that Mo Jingjing suddenly had this happen, but he has already filled up all his sympathy for her and has to leave!"
Do you know how much money you have to pay if you suddenly break those contracts?
"Ha, Zhang Heng, are you kidding me? Is it because Su Mu is worried about the money? He always claims to be super rich, so how come he can't afford to pay this little bit? Fine, stop defending him. I won't believe a word you say!"
“Mengmeng…”
As everyone left, got into the car and closed the door, and the car drove away, the sounds of Cheng Meng and Zhang Heng arguing gradually faded from everyone's ears.
The director and Su Mu did not ride in the same car as the other actors and crew members, so they could freely discuss Mo Jingjing's matter in the car.
"Do you think this story is true or false? Did Mo Jingjing really fall off a cliff by accident?"
"I find this whole thing hard to believe. Why would Mo Jingjing fall off a cliff when she was perfectly fine? Besides, that place is so remote, what would she be doing there?"
