Chapter 494 Ying Zijin: Get out! [1st update]
The movie Xie Manyu starred in is set against the backdrop of O continent mythology and is titled "The Elf Queen".
The female lead she plays is a hybrid of an elf and an Eastern human.
They've just finished filming the scene where the female lead enters the Elf tribe and meets the Elf Princess.
One of the plot points involves the female protagonist and the elf princess fighting together against enemies invading the elf race.
However, during filming, the actress playing the fairy princess accidentally shot the arrow in the wrong direction.
The arrow struck Xie Manyu squarely, aiming straight for her heart.
Originally, the bow and arrow were just props and could not actually hurt people.
But the problem was that the arrows that were shot were replaced with real ones.
The arrow struck, and Xie Manyu immediately lost consciousness. She has just been taken to the hospital, and filming has been completely suspended.
"Saying it was an accident is obvious to everyone; it was intentional." The female secretary gritted her teeth, completely disbelieving the explanation on the phone. "There were clearly two different directions; how could it be a mistake due to a slip of the hand? And how could it be so accurate?"
It was so close; it almost hit the heart.
Moreover, the prop just happened to be passively used.
How could it not have been premeditated?
Ying Zijing pressed her head: "What's that actor's name?"
Even if she possessed divine calculation abilities, it was impossible for her to monitor everyone in the world at all times.
Otherwise, her head would explode.
The female secretary hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Betty Bevan, a young lady from the Bevan family."
Ying Zijing paused in buttoning her clothes: "The Bevin family?"
"Yes." The female secretary pursed her lips. "Originally, this Miss Betty was supposed to play the lead role, but then Universal Pictures chose Actress Xie, so she could only play the supporting role."
"Her scenes only started filming this month, boss, we..."
The Bevin family, one of the four major conglomerates in O Continent, wields immense power.
How should they respond when they are on someone else's turf?
"Let's go to the hospital first," Ying Zijing said calmly. "Saving lives is the priority."
The female secretary nodded and followed the girl into the car.
To facilitate their travel, Universal Pictures provided them with several vehicles, including sports cars and minivans.
Ying Zijing drove herself, setting the speed to the highest setting, drifting and weaving through the traffic.
The female secretary had only been sitting for a few dozen seconds when she became dizzy and her face turned deathly pale.
In her dazed state, she realized a blind spot: she seemed to have... not mentioned where the hospital was.
**
Twenty minutes later.
The hospital in the city center.
Ying Zijin went straight upstairs.
Upstairs, in Xie Manyu's ward, there were only two nurses.
Two nurses perfunctorily put an IV drip in Xie Manyu's head and then stood aside.
On the bed, Xie Manyu was pale, and the arrow in her chest was still stuck in her chest, bleeding.
"Where's the doctor?" The secretary's expression changed instantly. "This place is so empty, and there's still a queue? You can't even find a doctor?"
Upon hearing this, a nurse looked up and said sarcastically, "Don't you know you've offended Miss Betty? Once the Bevin family gives an order, which doctor would dare to treat her? Unless we're suicidal."
The female secretary was furious: "You..."
"Boss, I'm really useless." Xie Manyu's agent returned at this moment, and her eyes immediately reddened when she saw the girl. "I begged them, but they wouldn't come."
Ying Zijing said calmly, "We don't need them."
She put on the medical gloves and mask she carried with her, bent down, and carefully examined Xie Manyu's wound.
"What are you doing?" The nurse's expression changed when she saw the girl's action, and she immediately stepped forward. "You're not a doctor, you can't move."
Betty Bevan's idea was to delay, to treat Sheman Yu until the very end, as long as she didn't die.
What if an amateur touches this and Xie Manyu dies here?
Both nurses knew that Xie Manyu was an international film queen, especially popular in China.
No one in the Bevan family dares to touch them; their hospital is definitely going to suffer.
Ying Zijing turned around, her face expressionless.
She grabbed the nurse's outstretched hand and, with just a little force, dislocated the nurse's wrist.
Ying Zijing glanced at the other nurse: "Get out."
The two nurses felt a chill run down their spines and dared not say anything more. They supported each other and practically fled in panic.
After they left the ward, they ran into the head nurse of the hospital who was walking over.
The head nurse frowned as she looked at the disheveled nurses: "Why did you all come out?"
"The senior executives from Chuguang Media are here," a nurse stammered. "Tell them to get out."
The head nurse frowned even more, but said nothing: "Go see the other patients."
Betty Bevan's arrow went deep, and the doctors at the hospital didn't dare to pull it out easily; they needed tools.
What can a few laymen at Chuguang Media do?
After thinking about it, the head nurse decided to consult the Bevin family.
No matter what, Xie Manyu cannot be allowed to die in O Continent.
In the hospital ward.
After examining Xie Manyu's injuries, Ying Zijing understood the situation and turned to her secretary and agent, saying, "You two go out too."
"Boss, this..." Before the agent could finish speaking, he was pulled out by the female secretary, and the door was closed behind him.
Ying Zijin took out gold and silver needles, inserted them into several acupoints, and then slowly began to pull out the arrow.
**
Xie Manyu's injury on set is no small matter.
In particular, the Chinese side has been closely following the progress of "Elf Queen".
Any news, no matter how small, will trend on social media.
It's afternoon in Country S, and late at night in China.
The topic instantly went viral.
#Xie Manyu, fate unknown#
There's a video under the topic, but it's not the whole thing; it only shows Sherman being shot by an arrow and falling unconscious.
What happened? Why did such a serious accident occur on set?! What were they doing?!
[There are rumors that Betty Bevin did it intentionally. Does this mean the Bevin family can treat human life so lightly?]
[Xie Manyu is usually so arrogant in China, but now that she's abroad, things have taken a turn for the worse, haven't they? Why is it her who got hurt, and not someone else? She must have done something wrong.]
[Don't some people know how powerful the four major conglomerates of O Continent are? Don't embarrass yourselves with your limited education. The situation in O Continent is different from ours. In O Continent, the four major conglomerates are like gods, understand?]
[The four major conglomerates are like gods; where do you place the Laurent family?]
It has garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally.
The main issue is that this matter can't be suppressed, and the production team is under a lot of pressure.
On set, the producer checked the online comments and was absolutely furious.
Meanwhile, Betty was talking to the director, her tone annoyed: "I said, her injury won't heal anytime soon, and you can't afford to waste my time."
"Either change the female lead immediately, or the Bevin family withdraws their investment. Choose one."
Just as the director was about to say something, his gaze fell on Betty's back. Without replying, he immediately went to meet her.
Betty looked at him indifferently.
When her gaze fell on the girl, she narrowed her eyes slightly and strode forward: "What, Chuguang Media has found another new actress?"
Her expression was one of apprehension.
Xie Manyu has a face that looks like it's on the big screen; she's a typical Eastern beauty.
But the girl's beauty transcends the differences in Eastern and Western aesthetics; no one can deny her good looks.
"Mr. Ying, I'm so sorry, so sorry." With Betty putting pressure on him, the director had no choice but to say, "We will definitely compensate Ms. Xie for the injury she suffered here."
President Ying?
Betty's expression changed.
Is this the CEO of Chuguang Media?
So young?
At the same time, she felt relieved.
Since he's the CEO, he won't compete with her for the lead role.
“Compensation will be settled separately.” Ying Zijin nodded calmly. “We will not let this matter rest.”
Before the director could speak, Betty laughed: "You won't let this go? Tell me, how exactly will you not let it go?"
"Do you know who I am? I am a young lady from the Bevan family. Oh, you Chinese people probably don't know how powerful the Bevan family is."
The director also advised, "President Ying, you can't mess with them. The Beiwen family is really..."
They're in the entertainment industry; they can't go head-to-head with big conglomerates.
Ying Zijing ignored her and turned her head: "It's on video."
"Here it is." The female secretary stepped forward with a tablet computer. "It was maliciously edited, but it has been restored now. It was just sent to the public relations department and is ready to be released across the entire network."
The video shows Betty deliberately turning around and shooting an arrow at Sherman.
Afterwards, he was still laughing happily.
“Yes, I did it on purpose.” Betty frowned, but readily admitted it. “But so what? What can you do to me? I have top-notch hackers working for me. You can see if you can release it across the entire internet.”
She crossed her arms, nodded slightly, and said with disdain, "This is O continent, not your China. I can be arrogant here, but you can't. Do I need to reiterate that?"
Upon hearing this, many people present changed their expressions.
The four major conglomerates wield immense power in O continent, far surpassing any wealthy family in the capital.
Even though the head of the Bevin family is now terminally ill, the Bevin family's strength has not diminished much.
Like the Taylor family, they also have many top-notch mercenaries under their command, whose strength, when combined with drugs, is comparable to that of ancient martial arts practitioners.
This is considered Bevan family territory, and the Bevan family calls the shots in everything.
"I didn't really hurt her, did I?" Betty casually played with her fingers, shrugging indifferently. "Who told her she wasn't as good as me? At thirty, she's an old woman, what right does she have to compete with me for the lead role?"
Without Xie Manyu, the character of the protagonist in this movie would have been changed, and she would have played the role.
Betty had always believed that this matter was settled, because the Chinese film industry had not had any vibrant new talents for a long time.
Who knew that Xie Manyu would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Ying Zijing, looking indifferent, sent a message.
I injured one of your family's young ladies, you don't mind, do you?
Rita replied quickly.
【？？？】
[Which lady? No, when did I gain sisters?]
Rita, still searching for medicinal herbs while holding her phone, looked somewhat bewildered.
The head of the Bevin family has seven or eight children, but she is his only daughter, and she is indeed sometimes spoiled.
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow.
Betty Bevan.
Betty? Let me check, I've never heard of that name before.
The Bevan family alone, just its members, number in the thousands.
Rita certainly doesn't know them all.
She quickly sent another message.
"She is indeed a member of our Bevin family, but I don't know how distant our relationship is. She's probably a collateral branch. She's in the entertainment industry, and her methods are very shady. She has several lives on her hands. The only skill she knows is archery. If she offends you, you can kill her."
[How incredibly naive! I'm speechless. They don't even know their own limitations.]
She wouldn't dare mess with anyone, okay?
"Alright, I don't have time to waste here with you guys." Betty said impatiently. "Instead of wasting your time, you should go find her a doctor. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with her organs, she might end up bedridden forever."
She turned her head and said, "Director, you'd better hurry, or your career will be over."
The director was also angry and didn't want to pay attention to Betty. He just looked at the girl and asked, "President Ying?"
"Alright." Ying Zijing slowly raised her eyes and reached out her hand. "Bring me the arrows."
The director was taken aback, not understanding what the sentence meant.
But the female secretary immediately went to the prop box at the back, took out the bow and arrows, and handed them to Ying Zijin: "Boss, these are real bows and arrows."
Ying Zijing turned the bow, loaded all the remaining arrows into the quiver, drew back the bowstring, and aimed at Betty.
The director's expression changed: "President Ying, you..."
"What do you want to do? You want to copy me?" Betty scoffed. "Fine, I'll stand right here. Can you hit it? Or do you dare?"
She's from the Bevin family, the owner of an entertainment company. How dare they mess with her?
That means they're really tired of living.
Ying Zijing's eyes were indifferent, and she loosened her grip.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
Seven arrows fired simultaneously!
