Yi Tian’s remarks quickly resolved Zhang Heng’s doubts. He simply suggested that Yi Tian carry on her discussion with Ling Tianya and went back to filming.
The other people in the crew realized that it was false alarm. They all returned to their duties and stopped paying attention to Yi Tian.
By that time, Ling Tianya sat back down in her seat while Yi Tian stood there with her lips sealed.
Casually, Ling Tianya started to speak, “The photo of me and Gu Zhiqian, based on the angle of the shot, was from there exactly.” Ling Tianya’s fingers pointed to the seat where Yi Tian was sitting the other day.
“There were other people around there at that time, not just me. Why do you insist that it was me?” Yi Tian argued. “Yesterday I didn’t see anything wrong with the four people or the case that they were carrying. As for misleading Mr. Gu, I didn’t do it on purpose. At that time, I said I was not sure if the person I saw was you. It was Mr. Gu who gave up about the case and went on looking for you. It was not my fault.”
What Yi Tian was trying to argue, in short, was that Ling Tianya had no evidence.
Ling Tianya didn’t seem to be in a hurry. “If it was not you, why did you panic just now? Why did you lie to the director and send him away?”
When things got to that point, Yi Tian knew that it was impossible for her to leave a good impression on Ling Tianya. She gave up the pretense of the fan girl, and all that worship and pitifulness disappeared instantly from her face.
“The reason why I lied to the director was that I didn’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble. Miss Ling, please don’t make any accusation without evidence. It won’t be good if news gets out about the golden screenwriter bullying junior actress. I heard that you are getting married to Mr. Ruan soon. I don’t think negative news like this will do you any good right now.”
Ling Tianya chuckled. Was that little chick threatening her?
“Very good, very bold!” Ling Tianya thought.
Ling Tianya stood up and closed in on Yi Tian. She reached out a hand to help Yi Tian tidy her messy hair. From the outside, it looked like Ling Tianya was taking care of Yi Tian and showing a great level of intimacy.
Only Yi Tian could hear what Ling Tianya was saying in an extremely low voice. “Yi Tian, you are still too naive. If I want to find evidence, do you think I can’t? Money can uncover almost anything. I have almost unlimited resources.”
Yi Tian’s body shuddered as Ling Tianya’s voice continued in her ear.
“As for yesterday, I was in the case at the time. Everything you said I heard very clearly. Just in case you don’t know, I was wearing a small bug on my body. That means every word you said yesterday was recorded. Even if you sent Gu Zhiqian away without meaning harm do you really think Ruan Zeyan would believe you? Or Gu Zhiqian?”
Yi Tian’s whole body began to tremble. If Ling Tianya insisted that she deliberately sent Gu Zhiqian away, setting aside Gu Zhiqian himself, what really scared her was Ruan Zeyan deciding to pursue her. Even if he could not find the evidence, it would be impossible for her to work in the entertainment industry ever again.
Coming to that realization, Yi Tian began to panic and looked at Ling Tianya with terror. She would never have thought that Ling Tianya was wearing a wire.
The woman was terrifying… no wonder Guan Meiyi lost to her…
“Ling…I…I…” Yi Tian’s lips twitched and wanted to say something, but no words managed to come out.
Ling Tianya smiled gently as she put the last strand of hair behind her ear. “Just go be a good actress and don’t make any more trouble. Be obedient, understand?”
Yi Tian nodded immediately. “Yes, I understand!”
Ling Tianya smiled with satisfaction. “Good girl.”
