Upon hearing this, the investor looked away from Shen Liangchuan’s lounge. Striding away again, he now continued his walk to the extras’ lounge.
When they arrived, he pushed open the door. His gaze fell on the small crowd in the room.
He looked over them again, one at a time, until at last he cast his gaze down in disappointment.
He turned to look at the director and asked, “Are these all the extras on the set?”
The director nodded and replied, “That’s right. That’s all the extras we have. They are all resting here. May I know if Mr. Lu, you—”
This investor was really behaving very strangely.
The moment he arrived, he had made a beeline for the extras. What exactly was he after?
Was it because Ms. Qiao had complained about the extras and the investor was here to seek revenge?
That couldn’t be right!
The investor furrowed and asked again, “Are you sure they are all here and no one is missing?”
Strictly speaking, the extras were not permitted to leave the set before 5 pm. Hence, they were not off work yet, how could they have left?
The director was about to nod when the stage supervisor spoke up nervously, “There- there are two others that are not here.”
The investor turned around sharply and asked, “Female?”
The stage supervisor nodded.
The stage supervisor continued nodding.
The investor was visibly stirred up by this information. He walked up to the stage supervisor and grabbed him by the collar, “Where is she?”
Stage supervisor: ...
The stage supervisor cleared his throat. “One- one of them is with Teacher Mo...”
At once, the investor let go of his collar. Turning towards the main door, he demanded, “Where is Mo Xicheng?”
The stage supervisor almost broke down at this question.
Was the investor looking for the woman because she had slapped Qiao Yiyi?
Observing the reaction of investor now, it seemed that not even Mr. Mo himself would be spared!
The stage supervisor was still in a daze when the director gave him a light poke.
Snapping back to the present, he realized the investor was staring at him. He quickly said, “Erm... I just saw them... it seems like they went that way.”
At that command, the stage supervisor nodded and took the lead.
The moment they walked through the main doorway, they ran into Qiao Yiyi.
She grabbed the investor’s sleeve and said, “Second Brother, you have to avenge me. Look at my face. This is the work of Mo Xicheng and that extra!”
Mo Xicheng and Shi Nianyao had just stepped out of the filming location and were about to leave.
His cell phone suddenly started ringing.
Picking up the line, he heard the stage supervisor’s voice saying, “Teacher Mo, where are you? The investor would like to see you and the extra.”
Mo Xicheng immediately narrowed his eyes. Oh no. The investor was here to avenge Qiao Yiyi!
What were they going to do now?
He looked towards Shi Nianyao. Without another word, he quickly led her out.
Puzzled by his actions, Shi Nianyao asked, “What’s wrong?”
Mo Xicheng shook his head and reassured her, “Nothing’s wrong.”
But after a few steps, a voice called out from behind. “Teacher Mo, Teacher Mo, you can’t leave! The investor wishes to see the both of you!”
Mo Xicheng’s pupils shrank immediately.
Even more puzzled now, Shi Nianyao asked, “Why would the investor want to see us?”
The approaching staff: ...
What else could be the matter?
You had just slapped Ms. Qiao Yiyi, and now her boyfriend was here to avenge her!”
At this point, the security officer immediately blocked their path and advised, “Teacher Mo, Miss, the both of you can’t leave just yet. Please come with me.”
With a deep frown, Mo Xicheng threw Shi Nianyao a glance. After a moment, he said, “Fine.”
They’d meet with the investor then. Whether it be the dragon’s pond or the tiger’s lair, he’d protect her.
