Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan sat in their hotel room. The light from their phone screens was particularly glaring in the dim light. The message from their business partner, "Final decision will be announced in ten minutes," was like a time bomb, ready to detonate all their hopes and anxieties at any moment.
A tense atmosphere filled the room, a mixture of the bitterness of coffee and the saltiness of sweat. Jun Mo Ran's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, producing rapid, chaotic sounds that echoed in the silent space, mirroring their frantic heartbeats. Ling Yi Chen stared intently at his phone, his eyes unblinking, as if he could foresee fate's verdict. His vision blurred, focusing only on the constantly changing time on the phone screen; each passing second felt like a tug at his nerves.
Suddenly, the roar of a car engine shattered the brief silence outside the window. Ling Yichen instinctively looked out the window and saw a black sedan speeding past, its tires screeching against the pavement before disappearing at the end of the street. That fleeting black shadow was like the unknown danger they faced—approaching menacingly yet remaining elusive.
"These ten minutes have felt so long, every second feels like torture." Jun Mo Ran broke the silence, her voice trembling slightly. She tried to ease the tense atmosphere, but found that her voice was out of control.
Ling Yichen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "Don't worry, we've done everything we can. The outcome depends on this final step." Although he said this, his clenched fists betrayed his inner unease.
Just then, a faint floral fragrance drifted into the room from outside the window. This unexpected scent, seemingly out of place in the tense atmosphere, offered a brief respite to their strained nerves. Ling Yichen took a deep breath of the fragrant air, silently praying for good fortune.
Time ticked by, each second feeling endlessly stretched. Finally, Ling Yichen's phone screen lit up; a business partner was calling. Ling Yichen's hand trembled slightly as he pressed the answer button: "Hello, this is Ling Yichen."
"Mr. Ling, after careful discussion among our company's senior management, we have decided to cooperate with you." The partner's voice came from the other end of the phone, clear and firm.
Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were stunned for a moment, then their eyes filled with tears of joy. They embraced tightly, all the pressure and exhaustion turning into tears of happiness. "We did it!" Ling Yichen shouted excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.
However, before they could even properly celebrate, a new problem arose. The police called to inform them that their competitors, after learning of the police investigation, had begun destroying evidence and were attempting to flee the country.
"They're too cunning! We absolutely can't let them get away," Ling Yichen said angrily.
Jun Mo Ran frowned as well: "We have to find a way to stop them; this is the key to completely exposing their conspiracy."
Just as they were discussing countermeasures, there was a sudden knock on the hotel room door. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts. Ling Yichen stood up and slowly walked to the door. The moment he opened it, a strange man stood there, a cryptic smile on his face: "You think things are over so easily?" With that, he handed Ling Yichen an envelope and hurriedly left.
Ling Yichen and Jun Moran opened the envelope with suspicion. Inside was a photograph and a letter. The photograph showed a core member of their production team having a secret conversation with someone from a competitor. The contents of the letter shocked them even more. The letter implied that this core member had already betrayed the production team, colluded with the competitor, and possessed secrets that could plunge their new drama into utter ruin.
This sudden news plunged Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran's hearts, which had just settled, back into suspense. Could they, with the help of the police, stop their competitors from destroying evidence and fleeing the country? What fatal blow would this core member's betrayal deal to their new drama? Just as the drama was about to see the light at the end of the tunnel, would it be plunged into an even deeper crisis? Everything remained uncertain, and the crew led by Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran continued to teeter on the edge of fate, awaiting the next test…
