It had been five hours since Meng Jingwei fell into the lake, and everyone in the film crew had panicked, even sending people to search.
However, she had vanished into the lake as if she possessed an earth-moving technique.
Lanxing Lake was an artificial lake in the film studio. With a depth of nearly ten meters, if one drowned and sank to the bottom, finding them would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Later, Lan Shu, as Meng Jingwei's agent, received a call from the film crew.
"What did you say? Meng Jingwei drowned?"
Lan Shu shivered with fright upon receiving the call. After hanging up, she immediately drove to the film crew.
At the same time, she called Qing Muyi, but neither Qing Muyi nor Song Ci could be reached.
When Lan Shu arrived at the film studio in a frantic rush, she suddenly received a text message. After reading the contents, she made a phone call to someone.
Not long after, Director Li of the film crew also received a phone call.
That day, the entire crew was given half a day off.
Upon arriving at the film crew, Lan Shu went straight into Director Li's lounge. "Director Li, I am Lan Shu, Meng Jingwei's agent."
Director Li was sitting on the sofa with a worried expression. Upon seeing Lan Shu enter, he immediately stood up. "Was that you who sent me the message just now?"
"Yes."
Lan Shu walked up to Director Li, her expression cold. She threw her handbag onto the sofa, sat down casually, and crossed her legs.
Although a woman, she was tall and wore a black trench coat. Her unsmiling demeanor and cool aura were truly powerful.
She raised her cool gaze slightly and questioned Director Li, "Have you investigated the surveillance footage I asked you to check?"
Director Li glanced at the martial arts director, Director Zhao, next to him and quickly said to Lan Shu, "We are checking. The investigation is already underway." He then asked Director Zhao, "How is the investigation going? Are there any results?"
Director Zhao guiltily raised his hand and scratched his head. "No, we are still checking the surveillance."
"Heh."
Lan Shu let out a scoff, picked up her handbag, unzipped it, and took out several photos, throwing them directly onto the table. "You can't find anything, right? I'll help you find it."
The photos were slammed onto the table with a "thwack." Director Li immediately picked them up, and Director Zhao leaned in. They both looked at the photos together.
As the photos were flipped through one by one, it was like watching a short video. It was evident that someone had tampered with the wire rigging for camera two; the steel wire rope had been cut.
"Although my artist is a newcomer, she has met with accidents repeatedly in your crew. Director Li, shouldn't you provide an explanation?"
As she spoke, Lan Shu took out a pack of women's cigarettes from her bag, placed one between her red lips, and used her slender fingers to light it with a lighter. She took a puff, exhaling a faint wisp of smoke from her sensual lips, and glared at Director Li, waiting for his response.
Although Director Li was an veteran in the industry and had seen many people, he was still intimidated by Lan Shu's powerful aura.
He pointed at the photos and declared with certainty, "Rest assured, I will give you an explanation for this matter. However, is Meng Jingwei alright?"
"If I hadn't arranged for someone to rescue her immediately and send her to the hospital, she would probably be a corpse by now!" Lan Shu held the cigarette between two fingers and flicked ash into the ashtray on the table, looking incredibly alluring. "I'll give you two days. If you can't provide results, I'll report it to the police. By then, if the matter becomes widely publicized, don't blame me for affecting your crew's reputation."
After delivering her stern warning, Lan Shu picked up her handbag, stood up, and walked out of the lounge with her ten-centimeter high heels, exuding an air of dominance.
Director Li sat on the sofa, watching Lan Shu's retreating figure. He raised his head and rubbed his forehead. "Everything is going wrong. Which deity have I offended!" He was filled with annoyance.
Not long before, he had thought Meng Jingwei had drowned and sunk to the bottom of the lake. He had already been contemplating how to make a public announcement about the incident at the crew when he unexpectedly received news from Lan Shu saying that Meng Jingwei had been found by her people and sent to the hospital.
Director Li's suspended heart finally settled.
However, Director Li did not know that Lan Shu had not actually found Meng Jingwei.
