"Oh, right, right, right."
Director Lei understood, "Tuantuan is a cat. It can't distinguish between real blood and fake blood, so it's impossible for it to bleed in Xu Lingyi's dressing room."
Ji Heng also realized, "That's right, Xu Lingyi is Tuantuan's owner, so Tuantuan would never hurt her owner."
"Who did this?"
Director Lei's voice trembled, "There's a big boss behind the scenes, a ghost. He's using Tuantuan to cover up his true purpose. There must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind him."
"Stop overthinking." Lin Xi glanced at him. "Your film crew is poor, run-down, and tiny. What are you trying to achieve?"
Director Lei: "..."
That hurts.
He chuckled dryly, "Haha, if it wasn't a ghost, then who was?"
"It's either ghosts or people," Lin Xi said calmly. "Are all the crew members here?"
"Master, as you requested, everyone is waiting on set tonight, and no one has left."
Director Lei scratched his head. "Who would want to harm Xu Lingyi for no reason?"
Ji Heng blurted out, "Xu Lingyi has a mental breakdown, so whoever benefits the most will be the one to benefit the most."
A figure flashed into Lei's mind, but he couldn't believe it.
Forget it, let's not speculate. Let's wait for the master to explain.
Lin Xi led the two directly toward Shang Qing.
Lei's pupils contracted sharply.
He guessed right, it really was Shang Qing.
Since Shang Qing joined the crew, she has been kind and gentle, often treating them to milk tea. She speaks to everyone in a gentle and soft manner. How could it be her?
Director Lei couldn't help but imagine another dramatic scene.
Shang Qing forced a polite smile. "Director Lei, gather everyone together tonight. Which scene do you want to shoot?"
Director Lei lowered his head and remained silent.
Lin Xi smiled enigmatically, "If the female lead is injured and can't continue filming, what's the point of filming at all?"
Shang Qing couldn't understand her intentions, but kept smiling and said, "Director Lei, it seems I'm ready to film anytime."
Lei remained silent.
Shang Qing frowned; something seemed off.
Director Lei is always assertive, so why isn't he speaking up?
Shang Qing looked at the woman beside him; she was indeed very beautiful, and her temperament matched that of the female lead.
How annoying! Where did this person come from? She's been preparing for so long, just to get the lead role.
As a result, Xu Lingyi was auditioning, and now this unknown woman is here too.
How could she be so unlucky!
Shang Qing clenched his fingers, but still maintained a smile on his face. "Director Lei, just say what you have to say."
Director Lei looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear.
Lin Xi said, "You put fake blood in Xu Lingyi's room, making her mistakenly believe that the film crew is haunted, and she quits the show."
Shang Qing's face froze.
How did she know this woman when they first met?
Shang Qing looked at the person next to her with a cold gaze.
Lu Xiang betrayed her.
Lu Xiang kept her head down, trying to minimize her presence, but her worst fears still came true.
Shang Qing realized he had lost his composure and quickly composed himself. "Director Lei, I swear, I didn't."
“You didn’t do it, but you instructed someone else to do it.” Lin Xi walked step by step toward Lu Xiang. “Are you still going to help Shang Qing cover it up?”
When Lu Xiang met her gaze, she subconsciously took a step back.
Her eyes were clear as water, as if they could see through everything.
Lin Xi said in a flat tone, "Shang Qing has never considered you. You're the one who took the blame when something happened. After all, you were the one who did it. Shang Qing could easily deny it and say she didn't know anything about it."
"One more thing, Shang Qing has a fierce look on her face. You have no future following her; on the contrary, it will ruin your luck."
"Your grandmother is sick and needs money for treatment. What will happen to her if you go to jail?"
Lu Xiang broke out in a cold sweat, her heart pounding.
She was right, absolutely right.
Shang Qing promised her 100,000 yuan, which is why Lu Xiang did this.
With this 100,000 yuan, Grandma's illness can finally be treated.
Lu Xiang swallowed hard. "Shang Qing told me to do everything. She told me to scare Xu Lingyi."
"If Xu Lingyi leaves the production team, Shang Qing can become the female lead."
Shang Qing hated her to death, but still wore a gentle smile on her face. "Lu Xiang, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Lu Xiang took out her phone. "I have evidence. I recorded it."
She played a recording, and Shang Qing's voice rang out.
"I'm clearly prettier than Xu Lingyi, and my acting is better than hers, so why can't I be the female lead!"
"Xu Lingyi is such a slut. She looks like a pure and beautiful girl, but who knows which old man she's sleeping with behind her back? She's disgusting."
"Go and splash fake blood on Xu Lingyi, scare her to death..."
Shang Qing stared intently at Lu Xiang, gritting her teeth as she said, "You...you're very good!!"
Lu Xiang retreated in fear, "Director Lei, I admit my mistake. Shang Qing was the mastermind."
Director Lei's face darkened. He hadn't expected Shang Qing to be so gentle on the surface, yet do such a thing behind the scenes.
"Terminate the contract; the production team can't afford someone like you."
Shang Qing scoffed, "Fine, I'll terminate the contract then. Do you think I care about this lousy production crew? If it weren't for..."
She bit her lower lip, her resentful gaze sweeping over everyone's faces again and again.
One day, she will make everyone present regret it and come kneeling down to beg her!
Shang Qing stormed off, uttering a harsh threat, "You just wait!"
Lin Xi blocked her way, saying, "Hand over what's around your neck."
Shang Qing was startled. "I don't know what it is."
Lin Xi was too lazy to waste words with her, so she tore off a sign from her neck.
Shang Qing was shocked and exclaimed, "What are you doing! Give it back to me!!"
"A talisman? Who gave it to you?" Lin Xi stared at her. "This thing is no good."
