She wanted to confirm whether the temporary worker was someone she knew.
Director Chen, of course, dared not refuse. "Sure, I'll talk to the person in charge and send him to the police station after you've met him."
He originally wanted to keep this a secret since filming had only just begun and the media would risk disrupting the production.
However, now that the big boss has given the order, there's no way to hide it anymore.
After seeing Director Chen off, Ye Zhizhou looked at Qin Xuan with some concern.
"You said my brother even communicated with the big boss of Yong's Group for my sake, could he have suffered some losses?"
Qin Xuan's eyelashes twitched slightly. Although Ye Qian had Ye Huaibin as his biggest backer, it wasn't always effective.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should agree to some conditions, but we don't know the specifics."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhizhou felt heavy-hearted. Knowing that Ye Qian was busy filming, he sent Ye Qian a WeChat message.
"You don't need to worry too much, your brother has always been very sensible in his actions."
Qin Xuan noticed her worries and comforted her.
Upon careful consideration, Ye Zhizhou realized that although Ye Qian usually appeared carefree and irresponsible, he was not entirely naive about the ways of the world.
After all, it took him many years of hard work in the entertainment industry to achieve his current success.
In the afternoon, after Ye Qian finished his work, he saw Ye Zhizhou's message and immediately called her back.
“Zhouzhou, I’ve spoken with the chairman of Yong’s Film Industry. He’ll help you resolve this matter. I’ll consider collaborating with them for my next company.”
He didn't want Ye Zhizhou to worry about him, so he told him everything directly.
"But your contract still has several years left, doesn't it?"
Ye Zhizhou was a little curious. Could the chairman of Yongshi Film Industry have some other purpose in being so insistent on signing her brother?
Ye Qian continued to explain to her, "He's my senior, and he's been eyeing your brother's talent for years. But I've had enough of Xingying Media, and I'm going to change companies anyway, so going to Yongshi wouldn't be a bad deal."
Yongshi Film Industry focuses more on film production, which is quite different from Xingying Media.
Ye Qian has mainly focused on television dramas in recent years, with only one or two film works. In the film and television industry, movies are generally considered to be of a higher caliber than television dramas.
Therefore, he is not opposed to cooperating with Yongshi Film Industry.
Ye Zhizhou felt a little relieved; thankfully, the other party's request wasn't excessive.
"Remember to let me know as soon as there are any updates on the production. I have to go now."
Ye Qian seemed very busy; he hung up the phone after saying that.
Just then, there was another knock on the hotel door.
"Ye Zhizhou, I feel there are some things I need to tell you. Can I come in?"
The person who came was Xu Jingchen. He looked a little nervous, as if the matter was urgent and could not be known by others.
After weighing the options, Ye Zhizhou decided to let him in to talk, since someone might pass by in the corridor at any time.
Xu Jingchen entered the room and saw that Qin Xuan was still there; a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Have some water first."
Ye Zhizhou noticed that he was sweating on his forehead, probably because he had run all the way here to tell her as soon as possible, so she offered to pour him some water.
Xu Jingchen took the water glass. "Thank you. It's about that bullet. I was thinking of going to the film set to get back into the swing of things and prepare for tomorrow, but I saw someone there. She was acting strangely."
His words successfully piqued Ye Zhizhou's interest, and she gestured for him to continue.
Xu Jingchen ignored Qin Xuan's gaze; Qin Xuan simply gave off a very intimidating feeling.
"Yan Bing, she seemed to be waiting for someone. I didn't follow her too much, so she didn't notice me. But after waiting for more than half an hour, a young man came and she said a few words to him before returning to the hotel."
"Then how do you know that the person she met was related to the bullet incident? You should have been far away from them at the time, right?"
Ye Zhizhou grasped the key point. She thought that Xu Jingchen wouldn't have come if he wasn't absolutely certain.
Xu Jingchen sighed, "I saw her give that person a wad of cash with my own eyes, and that person gave her a few bullets, wrapped in a transparent paper bag."
Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but frown. She always felt that Yan Bing wasn't the real mastermind. How could the person who actually planned this be so careless?
Even at night, bullets should be packaged in a different bag, not a transparent one.
Wouldn't that make it easy for someone to discover?
The room suddenly fell silent. Xu Jingchen thought they didn't believe him after he finished speaking, and was about to say something when Qin Xuan spoke up.
"It shouldn't be Yan Bing; she was probably just being used."
Xu Jingchen's eyes widened, and he asked in a questioning tone, "How could it not be her? I saw it so clearly."
Ye Zhizhou then explained to Qin Xuan, "Would you use a transparent bag to hold bullets? After something like this just happened, no one would want to avoid it."
After hearing what she said, Xu Jingchen thought about it carefully and realized that he had been too hasty and had oversimplified the matter.
"Then why would she give money to someone else for no reason?"
He still had doubts about Yan Bing.
Qin Xuan reassured him, "It might be something else. You should go back now. Thank you for the message."
Xu Jingchen's lips twitched involuntarily. He had only stayed a short while before being told to leave.
"I'll be going now. If you need any help, just let me know."
His gaze lingered reluctantly on Ye Zhizhou's face.
Ye Zhizhou, being a straight woman by nature, didn't sense it at all.
"Okay, take care. Remember to memorize your lines well, and don't let me affect your performance."
Xu Jingchen: ...
It's so hard for him!
Watching Xu Jingchen walk out of the room, Ye Zhizhou scratched his head. "Qin Xuan, don't you think he seems to have a problem with me?"
Qin Xuan knew perfectly well why Xu Jingchen was angry. He looked innocent and said, "No, maybe he realized he was being too stupid and is feeling a bit annoyed."
Ye Zhizhou seemed to be thinking about it and felt that Qin Xuan was right.
"I don't think Yan Bing is very likely to be found. It would be great if we could find that temporary worker as soon as possible."
The more she thought about it, the more her head ached. She was just an ordinary actress who wanted to act well!
[System: Host, as your aura grows stronger, the number of villains will surge. These are inevitable events. Please adjust your mindset and face them with resilience.]
Ye Zhizhou replied with a smiley face; it seems being the protagonist isn't easy.
"There must still be some remaining evidence at the scene. Let's go take a look tomorrow morning."
Qin Xuan was also worried about her, so he suggested going to the scene again to take a look.
The next day, the two met downstairs at the hotel at five o'clock and headed to the film set.
