This is Hengdian, far from rivers and damp forests, there shouldn’t be any snakes. Even if there were, they wouldn’t crawl into a lunch box on their own, it must have been done on purpose.
And this person, he knew that she was afraid of snakes.
Jiang Wanze: "This snake must have been placed intentionally. Ye Xian, have you provoked anyone in the crew recently?"
Since joining the crew of "Conquest of the World," she had little private interaction with the other actors, let alone conflicts. If there were any...
Jiang Wanze and Ye Xian thought of the same person simultaneously.
The only one who unreasonably made things difficult for her and was hostile towards her in the crew was him.
Zhou Lu hurriedly ran in from the outside.
Jiang Wanze: "Did you see any suspicious person?"
Zhou Lu shook her head, "The caterer said that since the crew had just relocated here, they hadn’t had time to install surveillance equipment. Brother Ye... maybe I should tell the director. This is too malicious, we must investigate thoroughly."
Ye Xian shook her head, "If it really was done by a cast member, then he definitely cannot stay. The film is already halfway through production, replacing an actor now would cause a significant loss to the crew and all the actors. We cannot make this public."
Zhou Lu: "Then what should we do? Are we just going to let him get away with it? I don’t know which bastard did it, but knowing full well that you’re terrified of snakes and still using them to scare you... Luckily you had a quick reaction earlier, Brother Ye. If you had been bitten on the face, the consequences would have been unimaginable..."
Zhou Lu was deep in her own guilt. If Brother Ye had really been injured earlier, she wouldn’t be able to live with herself.
Jiang Wanze frowned and stood up, "I’m going to find him!"
"Stop!" Ye Xian held him back, "We have no proof, even if it was him, he wouldn’t admit it."
"I have a plan to flush him out."
The next day, as the crew’s filming was in full swing, Zhou Lu, carrying a sealed bag, walked past actors in the rest area. A familiar assistant, puzzled, asked her, "Xiao Lu, what are you carrying so carefully?"
"This is Brother Ye’s most luxurious outfit in the entire play, the ceremonial robe for inheriting the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, personally designed and made by the renowned artist Xue Rui. It took a month, it’s very precious! I have to treat it like a treasure. If it gets ruined, all of Brother Ye’s scenes will be delayed. I must go now, I won’t keep you any longer,"
Having said that, Zhou Lu hurried toward the dressing room carrying the garment.
In the crowd, Chang Wei, who was eating, slowly lifted his head.
After lunch, as the actors gradually left the rest area to enter the set, Chang Wei took a pair of white gloves and a pair of scissors from the props room. Taking advantage of the absence of onlookers, he sneaked into Ye Xian’s dressing room.
The beige sealed bag was conspicuously placed on the most prominent clothes rack.
Personally designed by a renowned aesthetician? He’s not even worthy!
Chang Wei looked around and, seeing no cameras, directly took the scissors to the bag, cutting a slit in it, revealing... clumps of sponge?
Chang Wei was momentarily stunned, then he realized, Damn it! I’ve been tricked!
He had just turned around when the door was pushed open.
Ye Xian gazed at him icily, "So it was you, the snake in the lunch box was also your doing, right?"
Caught in the act, Chang Wei quickly tucked away the scissors, "I have no idea what you’re talking about."
