Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Ye Shengli Goes into Hiding to Escape Punishment
Jin City, Nanwan Port.
Ye Shengli stood at a distance outside the crowd, took out his mobile phone, and secretly dialed a number.
It took a while for the other party to pick up. Ye Shengli, looking somewhat panicked, lowered his voice and said, “Sheng Shaochen played me, something’s gone wrong on my side. I hope you can speak to those above and help me through this difficult time.”
“Ye Shengli, you’ve been tasked with finding that item for over half a year now and you haven’t come up with anything! Do you think someone as useless as you, with no value, could make those above take such a big risk to wade into these murky waters?”
“But I have been diligently working for you all this time, without credit, there has been hardship… How can you demolish the bridge after crossing the river?” Ye Shengli wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, his complexion terrible.
“Hah! To those above, someone without value who only causes trouble is just trash! You better watch out for yourself!” The person on the other end spoke and was about to hang up.
Suddenly, Ye Shengli clenched his teeth and said coldly, “Don’t forget how my brother Ye Zhongming died! If you don’t help me, I’ll spill this, and it won’t be good for you either!!”
“…” The person on the other end was silent for a few seconds, then sneered, “Ye Shengli, do you know the consequences of threatening those above?”
Through the static of the radio waves, Ye Shengli could sense just how terrifying the expression on the other end was.
Ye Shengli’s body shuddered violently, he hurriedly hung up the phone, rushed into the crowd, and soon disappeared…
In the “Nine Lives Demon Phoenix” film crew.
Unable to get through to Ye Shengli’s phone, Ye Xinyu had no choice but to follow Xu Yan’s advice and sign the document.
“Miss Xinyu, this document is now officially in effect. Mr. Ye asked me to tell you to keep your cool and avoid inquiring into the affairs of the group. Focus on being the Young Madam Gu, keeping a low profile. Only then will you have a chance to help him rise again.”
“I understand, Uncle Xu.” Ye Xinyu put away the document, nodded, but trembled with fear inside.
After Xu Yan left, Ye Xinyu returned to the studio and from a distance saw the stunt double Director Tan had arranged for her; the woman was filming a fight scene for her.
Ye Xinyu hurriedly approached and said, “Director Tan, I was wrong before. From now on, I’ll perform every scene in this movie myself.”
“Oh, has the sun risen from the west? Our Young Madam Gu is actually going to humble herself and step in to film personally?”
Having just finished her previous scene and sitting next to Director Tan, Guan Zhizhi, upon seeing this, immediately began to mock.
Ye Xinyu’s face darkened, and she glared at Guan Zhizhi, but considering her current situation, she ultimately suppressed all her anger, ignored her, and headed straight to the dressing room.
Guan Zhizhi sneered loudly, made a gesture to some other junior actors nearby, and they followed her into the dressing room.
Just as Ye Xinyu was reaching for the costume to put it on, a junior actor suddenly approached and forcefully bumped into her.
Ye Xinyu was caught off-guard and fell to the ground.
Before she had a chance to get up, Guan Zhizhi suddenly picked up her phone, slid open a news article, and exclaimed loudly with strange noises.
Following that, a news broadcast voice came out from the phone.
