Today is the last day of filming on the plateau; most of the scenes have been shot.
The staff members were busy packing up their equipment, each of them preparing to call it a day and leave.
Unexpectedly, a man, looking flustered, stumbled and ran towards Director Zheng.
I don't know what she whispered in Director Zheng's ear, but it made his expression change drastically.
"Is the information reliable?" Director Zheng asked in a low voice.
But Lin Yang, who was only a meter away from him, still heard it.
Lin Yang pretended to still be looking down at the script, and subtly moved closer to Zheng Linzhou.
"It's absolutely true, I saw the body with my own eyes." The person who came to deliver the news was Ding Zhong. Lin Yang had some impression of him; he was careless and clumsy, and Zheng Linzhou often scolded him for it.
A corpse? What corpse?
Having overheard Ding Zhong's words, Lin Yang felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Okay, I understand. Did you call the police?" Zheng Linzhou tried to remain calm and continued to question Ding Zhong.
Ding Zhong nodded, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Lin Yang, who was closest to them. "I called the police immediately. There's something else I'm not sure if I should tell you first..."
"What is it? Tell me." Zheng Linzhou didn't notice Ding Zhong's gaze looking behind him.
Ding Zhong, on guard, was about to lower his voice to report to Zheng Linzhou when he parted his lips slightly, "I saw..."
Lin Yang unconsciously moved a little closer, straining her ears to listen, when, coincidentally, she heard that sound behind her that made her want to punch someone.
"Auntie—"
Damn it! That voice again!
At this crucial moment, I'm begging you, nephew, can't you at least have some common sense?
Lin Yang didn't dare to turn around, her body stiffening.
Ding Zhong's slightly parted lips slowly closed again under Lin Yang's furtive gaze, and he gave Zheng Linzhou a look.
After receiving a signal in his eyes, Zheng Linzhou turned around and, together with Ding Zhong, focused his gaze on Lin Yang, who was awkwardly gripping the ground with her toes, his eyes filled with scrutiny and wariness.
"Auntie, why aren't you answering me when I call you?" Xiao Zheng walked up to Lin Yang and patted her shoulder, completely unaware that the atmosphere was a bit off.
"Haha... My hearing has been a bit off lately... Nephew, you shouted so loudly and I still couldn't hear you... Haha..." Lin Yang laughed awkwardly, forced to meet Zheng Linzhou and Ding Zhong's gazes, and pretended to be naive, "Director Zheng, Ding, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
Xiao Zheng then noticed that Director Zheng and Xiao Ding were standing in front of him, and greeted them cheerfully, "Hello Director Zheng, hey Xiao Ding, you're here too!"
Haha, anyone want to buy my mentally challenged nephew? Selling him here at a bargain price!
Having such a clueless nephew is exhausting for Lin Yang!
"Sister Lin, eavesdropping is not a good thing." Ding Zhong had a "Do you think I'd believe half a word of your nonsense?" look on his face, bluntly pointing out Lin Yang's already exposed behavior.
"Haha..." Lin Yang could only laugh awkwardly to ease the tension, "I didn't overhear any important details, don't worry!"
“Since Sister Lin is curious, why don’t I repeat what I was interrupted about earlier in front of everyone?” Ding Zhong smiled and continued, “Director Zheng, I saw Senior Wen meet with Sister Lin alone before he died, so I suspect…”
The words were left unsaid, but the intended meaning was quite clear.
He suspected that Wen Yuli's death was related to Lin Yang.
Wait, Wen Yuli is dead??
Lin Yang was so startled that she grasped the key point, and her expression changed drastically, just like Director Zheng's.
She helped Wen Yuli climb up a few days ago. He still had a wish to fulfill, how could he die?
