Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Crisis Reveals True Character
Xia Weibao’s footsteps halted, and her gaze sharp as a knife shot toward the two actresses.
Such cutting eyes frightened the two into trembling.
“Remember, we are a film crew, a team. If we don’t believe in Director Xu, who will?”
“Instead of talking nonsense here, think about how to solve the problem!”
The two young actresses flushed with embarrassment, but intimidated by Xia Weibao, dared not say more.
When she arrived at the police station, she happened to run into Leng Yan, whose face was grim.
His eyes were bloodshot, full of exhaustion, clearly having not slept all night.
Xia Weibao greeted him but did not expect Leng Yan to ignore her completely, heading straight into the police station.
She could only follow.
When they saw Xu Jiayang, the director who was usually so neatly dressed had completely lost his vitality.
Dressed in prison clothes, his hair tousled from being grabbed, a beard had grown, and his face was filled with defeat.
Xia Weibao hadn’t finished speaking when she saw Leng Yan grab the microphone and start shouting wildly.
“Xu, you’re a fucking masochist! That woman treats you like that, and you still protect her!”
Through the glass, Xu Jiayang looked at him with lifeless eyes, silent.
“You’re such a goddamn masochist, screwed over once isn’t enough for you, there’s even a second time, you’ll die at that woman’s hand sooner or later!”
“Are you mute now, don’t know how to defend yourself, speak up!”
“If you want to die so much, just grunt, and I’ll leave right now!”
Xu Jiayang remained calm, only speaking in a world-weary voice after Leng Yan had vented.
“Leng Yan, don’t bother with this anymore.”
Leng Yan was momentarily choked up and instantly became furious, kicking the visitor’s desk, “You motherfucker! If I bother with you again, I’m a dog!”
After finishing his tirade, he threw down the microphone, leaving with a fury.
He must be sick to run around all night pulling strings for this person!
So you want to die, huh? You want to go to jail, correct? Fine then, just wait to rot in there!
Xia Weibao was frightened by such an outburst from Leng Yan.
He had always been a dupe in front of her.
Although he often got so angry that he hopped around because of Xu Jiayang, it wasn’t real anger.
This was the first time she saw him explode with such rage.
And what was that about a woman? Xu Jiayang got screwed over by a woman?
She picked up the microphone, looking at the despondent Xu Jiayang, her mood heavy, “Director Xu.”
Xu Jiayang’s eyes were dim as he looked straight at her, “I didn’t expect you to come see me.”
Since the incident, only Leng Yan and Xia Weibao had visited him.
Once he had been successful and sought after, with many friends.
But now that he had fallen from grace, all those people had severed ties with him.
It’s true that adversity reveals true friends.
At your lowest, that’s when you see the true faces of those around you.
He didn’t promote Xia Weibao in vain.
“Director Xu, what’s really going on? Is it Xu Feifei who has wronged you?”
“Don’t ask anymore, Baby. Is the film crew in chaos now?”
His eyes were filled with the weight of the world.
“Allure” had been such a waste; he had invested so much in it, even putting in Leng Yan’s company and car.
He had anticipated this outcome.
After working so hard to take him down, how could they allow him to recover so easily?
“Director Xu, is there some kind of indescribable difficulty?”
Xu Jiayang opened his mouth, but in the end, said nothing, “Go back, ‘Allure’ might not be able to continue filming. You should find another path.”
