《The Great Showbiz Commando》 Chapter 1 A New Substitute Chapter 1 A New Substitute In the entertainment sector of B City, a man brought a young girl to a martial arts instructor. "Walter, this is the person I''ve been talking about." Walter Wu stared at the incredibly graceful girl standing before him. She didn''t look as if she belonged anywhere near the martial arts world, much less be seen practicing it. "Her? She doesn''t look like she practiced martial arts in years. You do know our job is not a joke right? We could easily get injured by Original from N?velDrama.Org. all these weapons. In fact, the girl could even audition for the main act." The man chuckled, rubbing the bridge of his nose. It seemed that he was already expecting his reaction. "Don''t judge a person by her appearance. You''lle to understand that she''ll be a perfect fit. You can take the money they''ll give her. You don''t even have to pay her. In fact, it''s my apologies that we''ve deprived your other employees." "Of course not. Your rmendation has already solved all my troubles. The actresses have lots of action scenes. My other employees might not be able to fit the job description, so it''s a good thing that I could have such a stand-in for the actresses." ''It''s even a better thing that I don''t need to pay her,'' Walter Wu thought cheerfully. The two of them chatted for a bit before the man left. Staring at the quiet Muriel Mu, Walter Wu furrowed his eyebrows curiously. Even then, he still couldn''t get why such a beautiful woman would want to be a substitute. "Muriel, what weapons do you know?" She tilted her head. "I know everything." Walter Wu sputtered out in shock. His eyes widened momentarily. There was no way that this lithe girl could master all the weapons they had. "Let''s wait and see." He patted her on the shoulder and led her to the dressing room. When the stylist and make-up artist saw Walter Wuing, they immediately greeted him with a smile. "Hi, Walter." "This is the stunt double who was introduced by one of my friends. The next scene is Sunny''s fight scene, so I want you to help her get dressed," he ordered. "This is the stunt double?" The two shared a look. ''With such a beautiful face, she could even rece Sunny.'' Walter Wu pped, knocking them out of their daze. "Don''t be distracted. Get her ready. You know how Hudson gets when things don''t start on time. Once she''s done, take her to the martial arts instructor''s office to find me." "Okay." The make-up artist nodded. "Ow." The make-up artist heard her partner catching her breath, so she turned around to see what the fuss was about. It seemed that Muriel Mu had already changed clothes. With shoulder length hair and dazzling eyes paired with a silk dress, Muriel Mu''s figure was perfectly outline. In the same dress, while Sunny Huang looked sexy and lively, Muriel Mu looked regal and arrogant. It was as if she had poked out of a storybook! Suddenly feeling inspired, the make-up artist grabbed her chair and motioned for Muriel to take a seat. She quickly fitted the wig on top of the girl''s head and began her work. The woman took out her brush and rubbed it against her shadow palette. She quickly drew it from Muriel''s cheek to the side of her ear. It would highlight her angles more. Staring at herself in the mirror, Muriel couldn''t help but smile. "Damn it! Damn it!" Sunny Huang''s assistant yelled out as she ran through the corridor. "Hey! Slow down. There''s water on the table. What if it spills on me?" Sunny Huang scolded. "Sunny, they said that your role is going to be reced." The assistant shuffled anxiously, not daring to look at the woman''s eyes. Sunny Huang shrieked as she staggered up. "What? But I''ve already signed the contract!" "They say the neer''s in the dressing room." "Hell no! Just when I finally got this role, I''m not going to let anyone get this from me! Who is she?" Sunny demanded. She lifted the hemline of her dress and stomped over to the dressing room. Her bright eyes were zing with unspeakable rage. When the staff around the dressing room saw Sunnying, they all pretended they were busy arranging with whatever was close to them. In reality, they were just there to eavesdrop on the drama that was about to unfold. As soon as Sunny stepped into the dressing room, she saw a woman who was dressed exactly the same as herself. When she walked closer, she found the girl to be really beautiful. Although Sunny had been in the entertainment circle for six years, she had never seen the woman in front of her. In fact, with this face, it would be easy for her to be famous around the entertainment circle. The girl dared to try and steal her role before making her big debut! If the news spread about this, it would be humiliating for Sunny! When the make-up artist spotted Sunny, she quickly tried to introduce Muriel to her. "Sunny, this is..." "Look,dy, I advise that you don''t steal roles from other people," Sunny interrupted coldly. "Don''t think you can stay in the entertainment circle so long just because you''ve slept with tons of sniveling old fools." Muriel didn''t even know who this woman was. "What do you mean?" She stared nkly at the hostile woman raging in front of her. Sunny snorted. "Don''t you understand me? How about I put it more bluntly? I''m going to be ying this role, while you can choose another role to steal away. If you don''t know how to ce yourself¨C" "Huh? Sunny? Why are you still standing there? Did Muriel already change into her costume? Hurry up!" Walter waved his hand, signaling everyone toe over. Sunny stomped over to Walter. She gritted her teeth. "Why did you do this?" she snarled. "Huh? What?" He furrowed his eyebrows. "I heard you hired that girl to rece me!" Sunny red at him. She had already sacrificed herself just to get a role on the television drama ''Love of Ghosts and Goblins'', but all she got was the fourth top role only after smooth talking her way through the higher- ups. All her previous efforts would be in vain if he suddenly said that Muriel was to rece her. "I found someone to help you. Is there a problem? Oh crap, don''t cry! Your makeup would be ruined." Walter scratched the back of his neck. The make-up artist must''ve known that something was wrong. She hurried forward. "Sunny, did you misunderstand something? Muriel''s a substitute. She''s supposed to be a stunt double for all the actresses in the crew." "Oh." Hearing the exnation, Sunny reddened in realization. She stopped crying and bowed her head apologetically. "I''m sorry. I may have misunderstood the situation." "Where is Sunny?" Hudson Liu, the director, scratched his head impatiently. Walter immediately waved his hand, hinting that everybody should hurry up. When Hudson Liu saw that Walter and hispanions wereing over, he couldn''t help but stare at the unknown woman with him. "Am I hallucinating? Only one day has passed, and it seemed that Sunny had gotten even more beautiful." Walter quickly motioned to Muriel and introduced, "Hudson, this is our new stunt double. Just call her Muriel." Chapter 2 Surprising The Shooting Site Chapter 2 Surprising The Shooting Site There was no trace of nervousness on Muriel''s face. The man in front of her didn''t seem to be a well- known top director but just an ordinary man. She calmly nodded at Hudson. "Nice to meet you, Director Hudson." Hudson''s eyes lit up the minute he saw Muriel. He couldn''t help but tease the man in front of him, "The stunt double''s even more beautiful than the ones ying the leading roles. How about she just try out for the leading role instead?" Sunny''s heart tightened. "Director..." Hudson chuckled, waving his hand. "Take it easy. I''m just kidding. Look at all those youngsters. It''s so easy to rile them up! Come on, let''s talk about the plot. Sunny and Muriel, it''s time that you learn all the actions for the scene." After being taught by the director, Sunny had taken it in herself to learn all the simple moves. However, as Hudson stared at the scene before him, he couldn''t help but shake his head. Sunny was horrible! She was moving around as if she was a newly-installed robot. "Sunny, you''re a fairy right now. Do you understand me? A fairy! You have to act like one. These things, these actions you''re doing, they don''t scream immortal fairy! No. They scream like localmoner!" Sunny flushed in embarrassment at the director''s blunt words. However, the more cuts there were, the more irritated Hudson became. It seemed that Sunny couldn''t get a hold of her role. "Cut," he yelled. "Sunny, why don''t you have a rest first? Muriel, get into the scene! As for Sunny, we can do some of these actionster on." He turned to Walter. "Your new stunt-double is good, right?" Walter coughed sheepishly. "Well, she isn''t that bad." With a sword in her hand, Muriel strode over her designated position. The martial arts director had already told her all the actions she needed to perform and where she shouldnd. Sunny yed the role of a fairy. Since the mortal world was ravaged and taken over by some demonic cult, she was tasked to kill all of them as soon as shended. The scene they were about to do was where the hero and the heroine were being attacked by hundreds of demons. The fairy wouldnd from the sky and ughter all of them. The actions weren''t really difficult for Muriel. She nodded at the executive director, indicating that she was ready. "Three, two, action." As soon as the executive director motioned for her to start, Muriel''s gaze turned calcting and fierce. It was as if she was actually the fairy herself. She raised her long sword and spun in the air. Her colleagues, who were ying the demons, immediately fell to the ground and spat out blood. The special effects team would be responsible for highlighting how powerful the fairy really was. Afternding onto the ground, Muriel immediately rolled forward and nged her sword against the demons. She quickly stepped onto another surface and made a leap. The long sword twirled in her hand gracefully. Muriel quickly stabilized her hold once shended. Strands of her hair frayed at the sides of her face, but it just further emphasized her ethereal beauty. Bang! The ground exploded before her. All the other stunt doubles flew to different parts of the pavement. Some of them spat out fake blood as they stilled. Smoke burst out from either side, clouding the entire set. Muriel twisted and turned her sword expertly. It whistled lowly as she inserted it back to its scabbard. There was dead silence. Everyone''s jaw dropped as they stared at the girl in the middle of the sight. The smoke hadn''t faded away yet as it clouded over her. If they hadn''t known any better, they would''ve thought that they actually met a fairy. Finallying to his senses, Hudson immediately yed back the scene that he had just shot. Muriel''s sharp eyes, her smooth movements, and even her gracefulnding were perfect! There were some stunt doubles who were excellent in fighting but terrible in theirndings. Because of this, they would usually need to repeat a few of those scenes over and over again until working it out. Original from N?velDrama.Org. It was the first time Hudson had ever seen a perfect scene with just one cut. After watching it over several times, he became even more ecstatic. Suddenly, someone pped from behind them. Everyone turned to see the person who had just pped. Hudson was surprised to see a middle-aged man standing behind him. Hudson immediately turned his head and shouted, "Cut!" All the stunt doubles were still lying on the ground, pretending to be dead. It was a rule that they shouldn''t break character until the director himself had yelled out ''Cut''. Hudson nced at the man in good spirits. "It''s good, right? What brings you here, Director Quentin?" "Our crew was also shooting a scene here. When I heard that you were here, I came to visit." Quentin Qi nced at the girl in the middle of the scene. "You''re incredibly lucky to find a treasure like that. Is she a neer? I haven''t seen her in any movies before." He gazed at Muriel curiously. "Walter found her. She''s a stunt double." Hudson sped his hand around Walter''s shoulder. "She was excellent, and all you had to say was that ''she isn''t that bad''? You''re being too modest!" he joked. Walter was also surprised. In fact, back when he first met her, he couldn''t believe that she was a stunt double in the first ce. She was beautiful. She could be in any movie she wanted. Why was she willing to just y a stunt double? He didn''t realize he was wrong until he saw how fluid her movements were. In fact, she was one of the best he had ever seen. Quentin Qi nced at Walter. "I might need a stunt double for the movie I''m shooting now. The price is negotiable. Besides, with that look, she might even have a role in my movie. What do you think?" "Muriel has just been introduced to me by my friend, so she doesn''t belong to any of our groups. I''m not sure if she''ll ept the job or not. How about we ask for her opinion?" Although Walter was happy to cooperate with Quentin, he still needed to consult this with Muriel. "Okay." Quentin''s new movie was about a police and a bandit. The heroine was yed by none other than Lindy Han. Although Lindy Han was only in her early twenties, she began to act from the ripe age of five. She had acted in all kinds of dramas. After so many years of training, her acting skills were outstanding for her age. She was ying the role of a police woman. She might be great in acting, but she was terrible when it came to the stunts. Quentin had encountered all kinds of problems in finding a stunt double for her. Lindy Han was just too thin. Generally, all the stunt doubles he could find were men. With their burly figure, it would be harder for them to act like Lindy. Everyone could tell them apart. After being called, Muriel walked over. "Director Hudson, you called for me?" Hudson introduced, "Muriel, you did a great job on set. This is Director Quentin. Their crew also needs a stunt double. I''m not sure if you''re interested." Quentin was good at spotting new talents. Just now, he could see that Muriel''s movements and acting were excellent. Although she didn''t have any experience, he believed that she had the potential to be even much greater than all the actresses in the entertainment industry. Seeing the hesitation on her face, Quentin hastily said, "There are several members in our crew. Some of them include, Daniel, Lindy, Crystal¨C" "Crystal?" Muriel''s eyes lit up. Quentin smiled, thinking that he finally got her attention. "Yes, she''s part of our crew. Are you a fan?" "You could say that." Her eyes shed, but it went unnoticed by all the others. "Would you consider joining us then?" Quentin asked happily. Chapter 3 Framed Chapter 3 Framed Muriel nced at Hudson, as if waiting for his permission. He waved his hand. "It doesn''t matter. After all, both of our crews are filming here, so you can easily jump back and forth. If you can''t, then I can just start with all the scenes you need to finish. Once you''re through, you can head to his crew for another round of shooting." He sighed. "If it hadn''t been for the fact that we already shot half of the script, I would''ve given you the role already. In fact, Sunny''s role fits you really well." They didn''t lower their voices. Standing not far away, Sunny had been listening in on their entire conversation. She could feel the crew''s mocking gazes on her back. She clenched her fists as she red at Muriel. After seeing Quentin off, the film crew began shooting the next part. Hudson groaned the moment he saw Sunny acting awkwardly in front of the camera. He had already told her what to do millions of times, but she still couldn''t get the hang of it. "Forget it," he snapped. "We can just use the Muriel''s scene and zoom in on Sunny''s face. All you need to do now is make facial expressions." Hudson had already rebuked Sunny relentlessly in front of the whole crew. Hearing some of them chuckle, she turned her head to re at Muriel. Her entire face was flushed in embarrassment and anger. Even if she wasn''t doing anything, Muriel knew that Sunny was already cursing her entire family in heart. In less than two minutes, Hudson was already shouting again. "You''re a fairy, and they''re demons. You have to show your superiority. Do you understand? They''re not your enemies. You don''t have to want to skin them alive, because in your mind, you already had!" Usually, Sunny was great in acting, but this was the first time she had ever cooperated with Hudson. Although she knew that he had a bad temper, she didn''t expect that he would tell her off in front of so many people. Sunny didn''t work well when she was scolded. She couldn''t get in character. "Forget it. We can just shoot tomorrow. Let''s just shoot the rivalry scene with the hero and the heroine." Hudson twisted his bottle cap irritably and drank it all up. Muriel was quickly taken into the dressing room. She quickly changed into the same outfit as the heroine. No matter what Walter had asked her to do, she performed the act perfectly. Hudson hadn''t shot numerous scenes so smoothly in such a long time. He couldn''t help but regret the fact that he couldn''t give her any role. He shook his head helplessly. If he had known her earlier, then he would''ve asked Muriel to be an actress instead of a stunt double. "Cut! Let''s call it a day." Hudson walked up to Muriel and handed her a bottle of water. "You''ve worked hard today, Muriel. In fact, in just one day, you already finished half a month''s worth of shooting." She smiled. "It''s really no sweat." Compared to what she had experienced in the past, the intensity she felt now was nothing. When Muriel headed back to the dressing room, the make-up artist and the stylist hurried over to take a picture with her. Being in the entertainment circle for so long, they knew who had the potential to be a great actress. Judging from her performance, they were a hundred percent sure that she was going to be a star. This was why they had been so nice to her. Maybe if she became even more popr in the future, they would be able to work for her again. Although Muriel didn''t know why all of them were taking a picture with her, she patiently took a photo with every single one of them. Looking at the way Muriel was being surrounded, Sunny was furious. She quickly got in Muriel''s way when everyone had already left. Sunny quickly forced a smile. "How about I''ll take you out to see my friends tonight?" Muriel smiled shyly. "I''m really sorry, Miss Sunny, but I have an appointment I need to get to." "You can make an appointment with your friend some other day. This opportunity is now or never. If you want to be in the entertainment circle, it''s not easy if you''re alone. I could take you to see more people, so if you get bullied, there will be people to back you up," she lectured like a teacher exining to a student. She grabbed Muriel''s wrist and was about to drag her away. However, when she was about to get rid of Sunny''s hand, Sunny tumbled over to the ground as if an invisible force had pushed her. Muriel was about to grab Sunny''s arm, but when she looked into her eyes, she saw that they were filled with disdain and hatred. She finally understood the woman''s intention. Sunny nned to set her up. Why would she help someone who would do such a thing? For this, Muriel stood still. "Ah! It hurts!" As expected, Sunny fell onto the ground and sprained her ankle. She didn''t expect that it would hurt this bad. When she tried to stand up, she hadpletely forgotten that the stairs were just to her right. As she tried to lean in on the side, she shrieked. Bang! Sunny had missed her step and stumbled down the stairs. Crash! There were still some people in the set who hadn''t gone back. When they heard the crash, they realized that something had happened and immediately rushed over. Seeing that Sunny had lost consciousness, Muriel immediately ran down the stairs, shouting anxiously. "Miss Sunny, are you okay?" Muriel wrapped her arms around Sunny''s waist, lifted her, and sprinted outside. Seeing this, all the crew members surrounded her. "What happened?" Sunny''s assistant had rushed over to see what the fuss was about. When she saw that her boss was drenched in blood, she screamed. "Look at her face!" Muriel gazed at her worriedly. "I was about to go down with Sunny just now, but she identally fell down the stairs. We shouldn''t talk about it now. Send her to the hospital first." Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. The staff quickly took Sunny from Muriel''s arms. They didn''t notice that Muriel''s hand had moved around Sunny''s pockets. They were already at the ward as they listened in to what the doctor had said. "Sunny has multiple soft tissue contusion all over her body, and there are around ten stitches on her forehead. She needs to rest. Sunny''s not allowed to smoke, drink, have spicy food, green onion, or even garlic. She needs plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits." "Muriel, what the hell did you do? Did you push Sunny on purpose?" The assistant red at Muriel. She had been in the entertainment circle for several years and had seen all of their dirty tricks. It was possible that Muriel could deliberate hurt others just to get that role. Muriel blinked innocently. "For God''s sake, I didn''t push her." "How dare you lie in front of all of us? You pushed her! You bitch!" The assistant stepped forward and tried her best tond a p on Muriel''s face. Seeing this, the film crew immediately stepped in to stop her. Muriel was protected as the whole ward exploded in pandemonium. Unnoticed by everyone''s eyes, Muriel pulled a ma from her bag and stuck it under Sunny''s bed. "This is a hospital. What are you all doing?" the doctor roared as security guards stepped in to handle the issue at hand. Chapter 4 Paparazzi Revelations Chapter 4 Paparazzi Revtions Muriel felt as if she was being watched. She frowned and saw a weird man holding a camera outside the ward. He secretly took a few photos of the fuss in the ward and sneaked out. One of the crew members said to Sunny''s assistant, "Why not listening to what Sunny would say about what happened when she wakes up. I understand how you feel. But we were all not here just now. You can''t slung mud at Muriel, right? What if it was really Sunny herself who fell down by ident? Then it would hurt our friendship. " Seeing that the assistant had calmed down, the crew hurriedly asked Muriel to go back first. While swiping the screen, people suddenly saw a news on the hot topic: aiming at the position of top star, an actress nearly killed Sunny. As soon as everyone saw the title, they immediately went to the hot topic to find out what was going on. A paparazzi''s ount posted a long twitter, which described how Muriel had pushed Sunny down the stairs in order to grab her role. And as the attached pictures had shown, Sunny was lying on the bed with a bandage on her forehead; Sunny''s assistant was about to beat Muriel, but failed; the doctor and security guards were in a stalemate in the ward. During this period, Sunny''s fans cursed, "Who the hell is this! Bullshit!She''s not a star at all. She''s just nobody! How dare an unknown woman try to rob Sunny''s role? Who does she think she is? " "I''ve always heard that the entertainment circle is very dark. I didn''t expect that such a thing would happen to Sunny. The bitch named Muriel, let''s flesh her out. I''ll go to her door to pour mud!" "Waah... Waah... The wound on Sunny''s forehead is so heartbreaking. I''m going to kill you, Muriel. Why are you so vicious?" Look at all those gossips! They were so good at making up their own head canon. Just by judging from a few words and a few pictures, they could make up a melodrama. Some passers-by also joined the group of criticism, "Muriel, get out of the entertainment circle. At the thought that she is in the same circle with my idol, I would feel extremely nervous." "Get out of the entertainment circle, Muriel! She is a ck sheep in the entertainment circle." "Why you all ask the one named Muriel to get out of the entertainment circle? Now that she has vited thew, shouldn''t we call the police and arrest her?" The assistant who was swiping the screen didn''t expect that this matter would be photographed secretly by the paparazzi. Seeing that the e-pals are all cursing Muriel, she was overjoyed. "Ouch..." "Ms. Sunny, you are awake? I''ll call the doctor for you." The assistant was about to leave, while Sunny stopped her at once. "Wait, what''s going on now?" Sunny had nned to set Muriel up, so she pretend to fell down, but she didn''t expect to crash down the stairs and pass out. The assistant immediately told Sunny what actually had happened. After some thoughts, Sunny ordered, "Go back to the shooting site now and delete all the surveince videos." The assistant was stunned and soon understood what Sunny meant. She bit her lip and nodded, "Fine." Now it is in XR Group, a Secretary reported with the iPad, "The group meeting will be held at 10 o''clock tomorrow, and Mr. Wang will make an appointment with you at 14 o''clock to discuss business with you. And at 16 o''clock, Mr. Wales will video chat with you about the opening business of a new hotel in A country. Mr. Liu''s birthday party will be held at Hilton Hotel at 20 o''clock..." The man rubbed his eyebrows tiredly when he heard his schedule read by the secretary. A small window suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of theputer. It was news push. The news was Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. titled: aiming at the position of top star, an actress nearly killed Sunny. The man was about to close the window, when his eyes were fixed on one name, "Muriel?" "Mr. Richard?" After reporting the schedule, the Secretary asked in confusion. He saw Richard Xu staring at theputer with such a serious look so he couldn''t help reminding him. Richard Xu, however, was unheard, clicking on the news and quickly scrolling down the web page, then some pictures came into his sight. The pictures showed that Muriel was protected in the corner, while Sunny''s assistant was about to rush up but failed. The assistant''s face was full of anger. Although the photo was not clear enough, Richard Xu still recognized the person in the photo. He quickly rolled up the roller and nced at the revtions revealed by paparazzi, floated a smile on his face. Richard Xu turned theputer to his secretary and said, "Put today''s schedule aside please. Now get the surveince video of this incident out immediately." Secretary Victor looked at the headline in surprise. He really couldn''t connect the gossip news in the entertainment circle with his brilliant and brave CEO. With good professional ethics, he didn''t ask why. Secretary Victor chucked and answered, "OK." "From now on, keep an eye on Muriel. Report everything to me as soon as possible." "Yes, sir." "Try to postpone tomorrow''s schedule as much as possible. If the time can''t be adjusted, choose a gift as apensation." "Yes, sir." Secretary Victor cried silently in her heart. Assistant Sunny sneaked back to the shooting site. She looked around and quickly deleted today''s surveince video. The assistant, who was concentrating on theputer screen, didn''t find that there is a person hiding in the dark. After the video was deleted, she immediately ran back to the hospital. Secretary Victor was a decisive man. In less than an hour, he immediately handed the investigation materials and the copied video to Richard Xu. Richard Xu took the document and looked through it. Secretary Chen stood aside and shouted silently in his heart, "Mr. Richard, you haven''t been this careful even when you read the contract of a big project! Richard Xu inserted the U disk into theputer, and Secretary Victor stepped forward to help him find what he want to see. Soon, Muriel and Sunny appeared on the screen. As it is seen in the video, everyone could tell at a nce that Sunny fell down on purpose. In the surveince video, after the crowd sent Sunny to the hospital, Secretary Victor went forward and opened another file. The whole process of Sunny''s assistant deleting the surveince video was totally photographed. With an evil smile, Richard Xu tapped the table rhythmically with his slender fingers. Secretary Victor thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Richard, are we going to put this video on the inte now? After all, there is abuse about Ms. Muriel here and there on the Inte now. " "Not now." Richard Xu stared at the smiling Muriel''s photo on the document with burning eyes. "I don''t believe that she can''t do anything about it. I''m waiting to see a big show." Mr. Richard, you''ve changed your schedule just to watch a y. You are so capricious! Secretary Victor really wanted to curse him in his heart. As soon as Muriel returned home, she pushed the wardrobe aside. Suddenly, four screw appeared on the wood floor. She twisted the screw, opened the nk and took out the toolbox under it. Muriel put the tool kit on the desk and fooled with it for a second, while hearing some noise came from theptop. After a while, the voice of Sunny was clearly heard from Muriel''sputer. "Have you deleted all the surveince videos?" "Yes." It was the assistant''s voice. "No one saw you, right?" "No, they all went to a dinner party. There was no one left in the shooting site." Chapter 5 Begin To Carry Out The Arrest Operation Chapter 5 Begin To Carry Out The Arrest Operation "Well, that''s good. I''m sure Muriel can merely survive in the entertainment circle this time! Ouch! Damn it! Muriel is so bitchy! I nned to pretend to sprain my ankle, but I didn''t expect to fall down the stairs." Sunny said with a sinister look. "By the way, will there be any scar left on my forehead? What did the doctor say?" It urred to Sunny that she had made some wounds so she asked anxiously. The assistantforted, "The doctor said that there might''ve been some slight scars. But we can go to the stic hospital to have a stic surgery. There won''t be much different from before." Hearing the sound from theputer, Muriel''s smile widened. "p!" A crisp cracking sound suddenly came from theputer. "Ms. Sunny? Are you okay? Why do you look so bad all of a sudden? Does it hurt? I''ll call the doctor now." "No, please don''t. Come back." Although Muriel was not there, it was true that Sunny sounded very painful. "I''ll just take a puff. The thing is in the innermostyer of my bag, and the lighter is also in it." With a crack, the lighter was lit up. Sunny took a deep breath, "Ouch... Ah! I feel so damn good!" Muriel, who had been in a good mood, now had a calcting and fierce expression on her face. She clenched her fists and her eyes shed a trace of scarlet. "How many bags are left?" "None." The assistant said worriedly. "Make an appointment with Mr. Kim for me tomorrow." "Ms. Sunny, you still have wounds on your body! The doctor advised you to have a good rest. " "But I don''t have any goods now. If I don''t see Mr. Kim in the flesh, he won''t give it to me. You just leave this thing. Now make an appointment with Mr. Kim at once for me." Sunny said irritably. "Fine..." The assistant was helpless. There was no sounding from the other end of theputer. It seemed that Sunny had begun to rest. Muriel quickly typed on the keyboard, looking seriously. The fans kept asking about Sunny''s injury under thetest twitter of Sunny. Sunny''s assistant also didn''t update twitter, which made them very worried. On the next morning, people who got up early and swiped the screen saw Sunny''s twitter, "Thank you for all your concern. Muri is a very hardworking girl. I believe that she didn''t mean to do that. Please don''t speak any bad of her anymore.". Sunny''s words were very artistic. Although she exined for Muriel on the surface, the deep meaning was that Muriel did push her down the stairs. As soon as the twitter was posted, the fans immediately cursed fiercely, "A hard-working girl? You''ve worked so hard to shoot to fame in such a despicable way!" "Why haven''t we seen the Z-list actress being taken away for investigation? The sugar daddy behind this woman can''t be underestimated." "Our idol Sunny is almost perfect, except one thing, She''s too naive to see people clearly. This ck sheep can''t stay in the entertainment circle. Just get damn lost." The inte was flooded with this news, while the heroine of this matter, Muriel, just calmly took a taxi to the shooting site. As soon as Muriel got off the car, she was surrounded by a crowd of reporters. "Hello, Muriel. Is what Sunny posted on twitter true?" "Please reply to the rumor on the twitter. Is it true?" "Since that Sunny is seriously injured and hospitalized, how dare youe to the film crew?" Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. Muriel squeezed out of the crowd and ran into the shooting site quickly. When the crew members saw Murieling in, they looked at Muriel with different expressions. Hudson looked at the person sitting in front of the monitor and asked, "Have you got out the surveince video?" "Director Hudson, the surveince video has been deleted. I can''t restore it now, so I have to report it to the after-sales service." Yesterday, there was no witness present, and no one knew what had happened. Surveince video was the only weapon that could reveal the truth. Unexpectedly, the surveince video had been deleted. Many people looked up at Muriel with mockery in their eyes. "How long will it take to send to the after-sales and recover the video?" "Maybe a few days." Looking at Muriel, Hudson waved at her and took her to a corner. Hudson looked at Muriel sincerely, "Muriel, look into my eyes. Tell me the truth. Did you push Sunny down the stairs by ident?" Looking at each other, Muriel replied sincerely, "Director Hudson, I really didn''t push her. I swear." "Okay, I trust you!" Director Hudson patted on Muriel''s shoulder and said, "Dressing up yourself as soon as possible. There are still a lot of scenes waiting to be shot today. Adjust your mental state and don''t be affected by those things." Seeing that Muriel entered the dressing room, Director Hudson frowned. After thinking for a while, he took out his mobile phone and posted a twitter, "How interesting! There''s boundless darkness before dawn. The truth will eventually be revealed. It''s really heartbreaking that Muriel became the target of public criticism even she didn''t do anything." When Sunny''s fans saw Hudson''s post on twitter, they all exploded, "Does the director go insane? Maybe Director Hudson is Muriel''s sugar daddy? How interesting, I be a troll of him from a fan." "How interesting, I was on a fence but now I''m a troll. Hudson and Muriel, I will hate you two for my entire life! Bye." "I''m 100 percent sure that they must have some shady affair." "I won''t watch this damn TV series even if I''m beaten to death. Unfollowed already, ha ha." Some onlookers felt that things were not that simple. "As Director Hudson said, it seems that Muriel is innocent. The entertainment circle is soplicated." "I''m a gossip who doesn''t know the truth. I am ready waiting for the reversal." Sunny was already in a private room of a leisure club, as she saw the twitter posted by Director Hudson, she was so angry that she almost threw her phone in front of Mr. Kim. "What''s wrong with you, Sunny? Which bastard offended my darling Sunny? " Mr. Kim held Sunny in his arms and began to enjoy the reckless touching on Sunny''s body. Bearing the disgusting feel rose in her heart, Sunny pretended to be shy and said, "It''s all Muriel''s fault. Mr. Kim, look at my shins and arms. They hurt so badly." "Ouch, it hurts! Sunny, let me give you a kiss. Then it won''t hurt anymore." As soon as he finished his words, he leaned forward and kissed Sunny before she could answer. After letting out their passion, Mr. Kim ordered a few bottles of wine, and soon the waitress sent the red wine into the box. The waitress had long hair. The dim light in the room made it difficult to see her facial expression. She turned a blind eye to the messy box, as if she had been ustomed to it. She opened the bottle and walked out slowly. "Eh?" Mr. Kim asked in confusion, "What''s up?" "I... Well, nothing." Sunny didn''t know if it was because of the light or not. She felt that the waitress looked familiar, but she couldn''t remember who she was. She quickly forgot about it. Her goal now was to egg Mr. Wang on to put pressure on Hudson so that she could vent her anger. The waitress didn''t return to her post after delivering the wine. She went into the bathroom and took out her mobile phone to send a message. It was said," It''s time to carry out the arrest operation!" Chapter 6 The Test Result Chapter 6 The Test Result Stimted by alcohol, Sunny and Mr. Kim began to cuddle up together again. They got lost and delirious "Bang!" "Hey, you can''t go in. Wait..." The door of the box was pushed and opened from the outside. Sunny and Mr. Kim were shocked by the people who suddenly rushed in. They shouted angrily, "What the hell''s going on? Are you blind? Don''t you know who I am! How dare you cause trouble in my room? You..." The waiter was pushed aside. Several people standing outside walked into the box and looked around. Mr. Kim was stunned when he saw the man in uniform in front of him. Sunny was dizzy just now but she began to be a little sober at this moment. When she saw a man next to her taking pictures of the box with a camera, her face immediately turned pale. She put on her clothes in a hurry and shouted, "No, stop taking pictures! Mr. Kim, please, tell them stop taking pictures! " The man who stood in the front picked up the strange bottles on the table and looked at them with a sneer. "Well, well, take them away." Original from N?velDrama.Org. Hearing the order, the men behind them immediately stepped forward and were about to arrest Mr. Kim and Sunny. Sunny pretended to be calm and said to them, "Officer, is there any misunderstanding between us?" "Well, what kind of misunderstanding can we have?" Sunny shook the empty bottle in order to conceal the truth as she lied to the police, "This is just a drink. Nothing special. This is not..." Sunny was speechless and her face was so pale that she didn''t know how to exin. Seeing that Sunny couldn''t continue, the man mocked, "Go on! This is not....? Not drugs? What you said only gave yourself away. Take them back to the police station right now." The police came forward and handcuffed Mr. Kim and Sunny. Mr. Kim anxiously shouted, "You are arresting people illegally. I will sue you. How could you arrest me?" The door of the private room was open. It was noisy here and many people began toe over curiously. Sunny realized that things went out of control. She lowered her head in a hurry and covered her face with her long hair. She couldn''t let anyone know about it. Once it was spread out, her life would be doomed. Sunny peeped at the door in anxious and whispered to Mr. Kim, "Mr. Kim, be quiet. Let''s go to the police station with them first, and then we can find a way to get out." Hearing this, Mr. Kim was furious andnded a p on Sunny''s face. "Are you crazy you bitch? How dare youmand me?" Seeing that Mr. Kim hit Sunny, two policemen hurried forward to subdue him and dragged him all the way to the police car. The other police helped Sunny to get out of the club, who lowered her head and dared not to see anyone. Muriel, who dressed as a waitress, flipped through the photo album on her mobile phone while walking, "Wow..., I''m getting better in taking photos." "Ouch!" Staring at the phone carefully, Muriel didn''t notice the road. She bumped into a person by ident and realized that she was still in the identity of waitress now. Muriel hurriedly put the phone into her pocket and sincerely said, "Sorry, Sir, I didn''t mean to offend you." The man was full of the smell of alcohol. He waved his hand and said unconcernedly, "Never mind. It''s not a big deal." Muriel didn''t expect him to be so easy-going. She bowed to him again and was about to walk to the bathroom. "Wait!" Muriel stopped and turned to look at the man in confusion. The light in the aisle was dim. The man looked at Muriel with his eyes widely opened and asked in confusion, "You are Mu..." Muriel''s heart seemed to stop for a while. She turned around and ran away as fast as she could. When the man saw her running away, he immediately ran to catch up with her. The man chased after her closely. He didn''t expect her to run so fast. He quickly passed through the aisle and ran to the outside of the club. It was already one o''clock after midnight, and there is almost no one on the street. The man looked around but didn''t find anyone. He murmured, "Unbelievable! It''s so weird." "Hey, bro, Why did you go outside instead of going to the washroom?" Hispanion burped and asked. "It seems that..." The man walked a few steps forward and looked into the alley with uncertainty. Herpanion dragged the man forward and said incoherently, "What?! Are you having an illusion because of the alcohol? Aha, let''s go. Get drunk or never return,e on! Our fellows are waiting for you tonight." The man thought for a while and gave up looking for her. He followed hispanion back to the box to drink. As the footsteps faded away, a ck figure suddenly shed through the dark alley and jumped down from the high wall. Then the alley at night returned to silence again. After returning home, Muriel helplessly fell on the bed. Although she had never seen the man before, judging from his reaction, it was obvious that he knew her. It was very likely that the man worked for "him". "It was just not my day!" Muriel thought in mind. She rolled back and forth on the bed irritably. As Sunny and Kim were taken to the police station, the police began to question them. "Have their urine test resultse out?" The captain asked. The colleague shook her head helplessly and said, "They wouldn''t ept the urine test to save their lives. No matter how hard the police had tried, they just refused to eat or drink. The man said he had pee just now. When Officer Chen was ready to prepare for him to pee, he peed in his pants and roared, "I won''t do the urine test." The captain entered the interrogation room with a frown. Looking at Kim, whose eyes were slightly blurred, he asked coldly, "You dare to take the drug and dare not do the urine test?" "I''m not addicted to drugs." Kim roared, gnashing his teeth. The captain looked at him without any facial expression. "Since you said you didn''t use drugs, you should have the test as soon as possible. If you are sure that you didn''t use drugs, I will let you go back immediately." Kim thought for a while and said arrogantly, "I''m thirsty. Get me a bottle of water. I''ll piss you after drinking it." The police immediately handed the mineral water to him. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Kim cooperated with the police to do the urine test. On the other side, Sunny had the test already and it was found that she was indeed drug addicted. "Sir, can you lend me your phone so that I can call my agent? She can bail me out." Sunny gripped the handrail tightly and stared at the police with her eyes turning red. While tidying up the documents, the police answered, "Bailing out is apulsory measure in the criminal suit, and drug abuse is a public security punishment. The maximum term of detention is fifteen days. You can''t go through bail out." "So, you mean I can go out after being locked up for fifteen days?" "Yes." "Well, can you lend me your phone and let me give a call? My assistant will worry about me if I don''t go back at this time. It''s toote. I''ll tell her that I''m safe. " Sunny asked for a favor helplessly. "I will inform her for you. You can''t contact with the outside now." The policeman exined. A policeman came over from the interrogation room with a strange expression on his face. "Captain, the result of Kim''s urine test hase out." The captain took over the report. The result of the urine test was beyond the expectation of all the policemen. The result was between drug abuse and not drug abuse. If the result was real and effective, the police could do nothing but let Kim go. Chapter 7 Breaking News On Twitter Chapter 7 Breaking News On Twitter Seeing the police''s face changed, Kim shoutedcently, "Remember what I said before? I''m innocent. You ndered me. I''ll sue you. You mustpensate me for my mental damage." With years of experience in handling cases, the captain believed that there must be something wrong with this result and some part must go wrong. The captain said to his colleague, "Take Kim to have the test once more. Don''t give him any water this time." The policeman walked up to Kim and said, "Please cooperate with our work." "No! Why! You all can see the result. The test result shows that I''m innocent. Let me go. " Kim "Please do it again." Kim''s hands were handcuffed. He struggled and shouted, "I won''t do it again. Let me go! I have done nothing!" The police had no choice but to report to the captain, "Captain, Kim refused to ept the inspection. What should we do?" "Then just wait and see." The captain left the interrogation room with the documents. On the other side, Sunny''s assistant had already known that she was arrested. The assistant anxiously called Sunny''s agent, "Ms. Catherine, Sunny has been arrested! What should I do?" Hearing the sob of the assistant on the other end of the phone, Catherine Chen sat up from the bed with a frown, "Sunny was caught? What do you mean? Who arrested her?" The assistant exined what had happened and asked anxiously, "What should we do now? I have prevented Sunny from doing so, but she ignored my advice and still went to see Mr. Kim." "Damn it! Why didn''t you inform me in advance? You are a lousy assistant!" Catherine was so angry that she wanted to smash the phone. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Which police station is Sunny in now?" "The police station of the capital city." When Catherine arrived at the police station, she looked at Sunny with disdain in her eyes. "There''s no one finding your scandal about being arrested, right?" Original from N?velDrama.Org. "Well, no, I think." Sunny said with uncertainty. Catherine looked around quietly andforted, "Don''t worry. Thepany will not treat you unfairly. I have to go back to thepany now. All you can do is to pray that this matter will not be exposed. If it is exposed... Then the PR team will help you figure it out." Watching Catherine go, Sunny tumbled down to the ground. Four hourster, the police handed the test result to the captain and said happily, "Captain, he has told us that he secretly left a mouthful of water in his mouth when he drank water. He took advantage of our inattention to cause the deviation of the first test result." Looking at the white sky outside the window, the captain patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Thank you." After watching Sunny and Kim being taken away by the police, Muriel smiled and took off the uniform of the waitress. Soon she disappeared in the crowd. Muriel had been so busy all night that she didn''t eat anything, so she felt hungry. Looking up at the snacks on both sides of the road, she went forward and got some doggy bags randomly. She turned into an alley where several men gathered together. But she didn''t know what they were saying. She had hot pancake in her mouth and passed by. The light in the alley was dim, so it was hard to see clearly. These men looked at each other, and then unexpectedly took out their mobile phones and turned on the shlight to illuminate Muriel''s face. With a frown on her face, Muriel blocked the light and asked, "What are you doing?" "Wow, what a pretty girl! Why do youe back sote? Do you want me to drive you home?" A man asked in an obscene voice. Muriel stepped aside, shook her head and said, "No, thanks." "Don''t be afraid, beauty. Let''s go. We''ll drive you home." At the moment they were saying this, several men surrounded her directly, and one of them even reached out to hold her waist. On the other side of the alley, a bright Bentley was parked. The driver looked at the man in the back seat from the rearview mirror and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Richard, do you need me to go there and help?" It was hard to see clearly in the dim light in the alley. Richard smiled faintly and shook his head, "No." "But..." His assistant, Victor, was very confused. He could easily tell that Richard cared about Muriel very much. Why did he refuse to help her when he saw that she was bullied? He couldn''t understand why. Richard interrupted Victor, "Be quiet. Don''t say anything." "Okay." Victor turned off the engine and sat quietly on the driver''s seat. In the alley, Muriel didn''t show any panic even though she was surrounded by several strange men. But what''s strange, her calmness didn''t arouse any of their suspicion. When the man''s hand was about to touch Muriel''s waist, she dodged and grabbed the man''s wrist. "Ahhh! It hurts! Let go of me!" The man''s face twisted in pain. The men next to her were startled. They came to their senses and tried to pull Muriel''s hair ornd a p on her. Muriel let go of the man''s hand, stepped back two steps effortlessly, and kicked the chest of the man on the left nimbly, and punched the abdomen of the man on the right. In an instant, three men were knocked down. The other man clenched his fists and hesitated for a moment, not daring go forward. The man who fell to the ground with hands covered on his chest shouted, "What the hell are you afraid of? Let''s fight together!" The others quickly got up from the ground and rushed towards Muriel. In the Bentley Ron, Victor asked anxiously, "Mr. Richard? Shall we go and save her?" "You are over anxious." Richard smiled, "She can handle with this all by herself. No need to help." As soon as he finished his words, he saw several people fall down from the dark alley. A few seconds passed by, they still couldn''t get up from the wet ground. Richard turned his sight to the back of Victor''s head and said, "Let''s go back." "What?" Victor was slightly stunned, then he nodded and said, "All right." He was curious about the rtionship between the skillful woman in the alley and Richard. He was curious why Richard asked him to drive here but didn''t go in to save her. But he knew that he should keep his mouth shut, so he drove away quietly. After cleaning up the mess, Muriel looked through the alley and found nothing on the side of the road. She withdrew her sight and nced at the wailing men on the ground. Then she continued eating the pancake and turned away. The next day, Muriel got up early and when she came back from the morning exercise, she saw the notice from the public security officer of the capital city. She immediately registered another ount on twitter and contacted with several marketing ounts which have millions of fans on twitter. As soon as the marketing ounts got the explosive news, they began to post the news on twitter about Sunny being arrested. Sunny''s fans didn''t believe it at all, but many passers-by believed it. The Inte became very noisy. Looking at thements on the Inte, Catherine threw the cup to the ground angrily, "Damn it." Catherine was very anxious about this news, so she immediately asked the official twitter of Purple Cloud Media to issue an apology statement, admitting that Sunny was arrested, which stirred up a thousand waves. Chapter 8 The Reversal Chapter 8 The Reversal Now it is in the XR Group, Richard looked at the news on the Inte and said proudly, "How wonderful this show is. I know you won''t be helpless, Muriel. In that case, it won''t be you." Richard looked at Secretary Victor with burning eyes and sneered, "The video can be sent out now." "OK, Mr. Richard." Secretary Victor nodded and left. "Muriel, we will meet soon." Richard raised his cold chin slightly, with a touch of tenderness all over his body. The twitter was in a mess. The official twitter of Purple Cloud Media confirmed the news that Sunny was addicted to drugs. She was canceled by many fans, but some were tolerant. The two sides were in a fierce fight. "People always make mistakes. Please give my idol a chance!" "Sunny is still a child. Don''t scold her anymore. She doesn''t feel good, either." "Sunny is a child? Are you kidding me? If she''s still a child at the age of 27, then I must be a baby!" As soon as the people immersed in the fight of words refreshed their twitter, they saw a new twitter posted by Southern Newspaper, "Reveal the truth of Sunny''s fall!" And there was a link attached. People clicked the link curiously. It showed that Muriel and Sunny walked to the stairs. The two stood there and nobody knew what they were talking about. Then, Sunny reached out and held Muriel''s hand. Weirdly, she let go of Muriel''s hand and fell down on the stairs. Everyone was stunned to see Sunny fall down the stairs by ident. Then Muriel ran down the stairs quickly, picked up Sunny and rushed out. And next, it was showed that Sunny''s assistant sneaked back to the shooting site and deleted the surveince video. Then the entire video ended here. The crowd''s eyes were bright. In the video, Muriel didn''t push her at all, but Sunny tumbled over to the ground as if an invisible force had pushed her. Everyone knew the truth now, and theizens began toin. "I apologize to Muriel here. I''m so sorry that I spat out something bad on you without solid evidence the other day. It turns out that we shouldn''t give badments as soon as the big newses out. It felt like a p in the face. " "It seems that Muriel is a kung fu master. She pushed Sunny down only through the air. How fucking awesome! The best actress of OSCAR is going to be awarded to Sunny this year. If you don''t award it to her, I won''t let you off!" "Hey you upstairs, you are being sarcastic. I really want tough when I see Sunny fall down the stairs by herself! Hahaha!" "I hope you won''t scold Sunny anymore. I hope someone cane out and beat her to death. She set up a trap for Muriel while pretending to be a bitch. How scheming she is! I feel sick when I see the twitter she posted before." "I''m sorry, everyone. I find another interesting thing! Ah, I find that Muriel was really cool and looked like a good boyfriend when she carried Sunny and ran out! How handsome she is! What''s wrong with me?" "You are not the only one who thought like that! Muriel is really cool!" Muriel was browsing thements on twitter in her room. Seeing the surveince video released by Southern Newspaper, she dialed Director Hudson''s number and said gratefully, "Director Hudson, thank you for helping me rify it on twitter." "I just posted a twitter. It''s not a big deal. If you really want to thank me, you can bring some tea with you tomorrow when youe to the shooting site." Hudsonughed cheerfully. "You only posted a twitter? Isn''t that you who exposed the surveince video?" Muriel asked in confusion. "What surveince video?" "It''s the surveince video of Sunny falling down the stairs. So you didn''t expose that video?" Director Hudson logged in twitter on hisputer and replied, "No. The equipment has been sent to the after-sales shop and hasn''t been returned back yet." "Oh, I see! Thank you anyway. I''ll bring you some tea tomorrow if you don''t mind." Muriel smiled. After hanging up the phone, Muriel watched the video again. The second part was obviously that someone had expected that Sunny''s assistant would delete the surveince video, so the one had already ambushed. Then who helped her on earth? Muriel thought about all the people from the shooting site, but still couldn''t figure out who she/he was. Muriel shifted her attention to twitter and sent the recording to the paparazzi! "The recording of Sunny was exposed. The truth was..." The paparazzi posted a tantalizing title, and many onlookers curiously clicked on the audio. Then Sunny''s sound came out clearly, "Have you deleted the surveince video?" "Yes." "No one saw you, right?" "No, they all went to a dinner party. There was no one left on the shooting site." "Well, that''s good. I''m sure Muriel can merely survive in the entertainment circle this time! Ouch! Damn Original from N?velDrama.Org. it! Muriel is so bitchy! I nned to pretend to sprain my ankle, but I didn''t expect to fall down the stairs." After listening to the audio, Catherine pped on the assistant''s face angrily, "p!" "Ms. Catherine, it''s not me! I didn''t tell anyone. I could never betray Sunny!" The assistant said in panic. Catherine pped her again and asked with a livid face, "There were only two of you in the ward at that time. Who else could have exploded it if it weren''t you?" "I... I really don''t know. But, Ms. Catherine, believe me or not, I''m really innocent." The assistant grabbed Catherine''s wrist and burst into tears. "Thepany has decided to terminate the contract with you and Sunny. From now on, you don''t need to work for Purple Cloud Media any more. Buzz off! Right! Now!" Catherine pushed the assistant away and walked to the general manager''s office without looking back, no matter how hard the assistant cried behind. "What are you going to do next?" The general manager looked at the curses of theizens and sighed. Catherine replied without hesitation, "I''m going to sign Muriel." "What? Sign Muriel? As far as I know, she''s just a stunt double. She''s not famous at all. Sign her? " The general manager asked in disbelief. "I have read the information about Muriel today. She has a good look, a good figure and was in a high level of martial arts. Although her acting skill is not professional, we can train her to a martial arts star after signing her. Besides, after what happened to Sunny, she is a little famous now. " Catherine analyzed slowly. "Well... Well, you always have a good taste. I won''t interfere." The general manager nodded. At the shooting site of the TV series named "Love of Ghosts and Goblins", Director Hudson saw Muriel "Muriel, you can y the role of Sunny now. The pay for being an actress is much higher than that for a stunt double." Muriel looked at Director Muriel in surprise, "What? Me? " "Yes! Since the news of Sunny was exposed, and there was a lot of curses on the Inte. Even our TV series was affected. Everyone wanted to resist all the ys that Sunny had shot. Now I have to take out Sunny. You don''t have to worry about your acting skills. What you have shot before is very good. " Director Hudson praised. Murielpressed her lips and thought for a while. Then she nodded to Director Hudson and said, "All right." Chapter 9 Signing The Contract Chapter 9 Signing The Contract The main content of this TV series was that the heroine was a fairy, and she sneaked into the mortal N?velDrama.Org ? content. world, then she bumped into the hero, who was the son of the leader of the demonic cult, and he also sneaked into the human world. So a series of things had happened between them. The grand guard of the demonic cult murdered the leader. Then as he took control of the demonic cult, he began to task demons to murder the hero. The hero and the heroine fought against the enemies together and supported each other all the way. Gradually, they fell in love. When the divine world knew that the heroine was chased by the demonic cult, they sent Fairy Wendy to the mortal world to save the heroine. After repelling the demons, Wendy brought the heroine back to the divine world, leaving the hero alone. The hero sneaked back to the forbidden area of demonic cult and learned the secret technique by ident. He defeated the grand guard, and then he found out that the grand guard was actually a god sent by the divine world to assassinate the leader of the demonic cult. He had been hiding in the demonic cult for many years, bing the grand guard from a small demon. The death of his father was unforgivable. The hero controlled the power of the demonic cult and led the demons to dere a war on the divine world. The heroine couldn''t believe that the hero was the leader of the demonic cult, and she couldn''t believe that she and the hero had be enemies. The hero in hatred couldn''t hear any words of the heroine, and in the end, the heart-broken heroine died under the hero''s sword. Seeing the heroine lying in the blood, the hero came to his senses and disappeared holding her body in his arms sadly. Although the plot was a little dramatic, it was verypact. The shooting andter stages cost lots of money. And Director Hudson always aimed for the perfect quality of the picture and he''s also strict with actors and actresses, which made people look forward to this TV series very much. Muriel was going to y the role of Fairy Wendy, who was obedient to the divine world, like a cold machine without her own thoughts. Following the orders of the divine world, she had destroyed the rtionship between the hero and the heroine many times, and she brought the heroine back to the divine world to separate them. In the end, when the hero led the demons to attack the divine world, Fairy Wendy fought bravely and swore to fight for the divine world to her death. In the end, she was hurt by the sword in order to protect the heroine, and she was seriously injured and died. She died for her belief, for the divine world, and also for the heroine. This role was not a third one between the hero and the heroine. On the contrary, Fairy Wendy and the heroine had a very good rtionship and they were like sisters. The ending could also earn a lot of tears for Fairy Wendy, and it is a role which could attract many fans. Fortunately, Muriel had shot many scenes when she was the stunt double of Sunny, so that these scenes could be used directly. Now all she needed to do was to shoot some group scenes. As soon as Catherine entered the shooting site, she saw that Muriel was hanging wire in the air. There was no panic on her face, and her martial arts movements were smooth in the air. With a somersault in the air, Muriel''s eyes turned cold, and the long sword in her hand suddenly pierced into the heart of a demon. "Cut!" Director Hudson looked at Muriel, who was slowly put on the ground, with ecstasy. He handed a bottle of water to her and said, "Well, Muriel, thank you for your hard work. You have done a good job in these scenes! Do you feel ufortable after hanging up for so long?" "No." Muriel smiled and twisted the bottle cap and drank it all up. Hudson looked at the screen again and again. He grinned and apuded loudly, "Congrattions, Fairy Wendy! You have finished your scenes!" "Wow!" "Muriel, Congrattions! You have finished your work!" Muriel bowed to the people on the shooting site and said sincerely, "Thank you for your guidance these days. I hope I haven''t disturbed you too much." Director Hudson looked at everyone and said in a cheerful voice, "You all have been working hard these days. I''ll treat you to hotpot tonight." "Director Hudson, that''s very kind of you. We don''t have to eat box lunch this time." The shooting site was filled with noise and excitement, while Catherine took a careful look at Muriel and then she stepped forward and said, "Muriel?" Muriel turned to look at the woman with short hair and smart look, "I''m Muriel. And you are...?" "Hello, I''m Catherine, the agent of Purple Cloud Media." Catherine wanted to shake hands with Muriel. Holding Catherine''s hand, Muriel bowed politely and replied, "Hello." "I want to invite you to join ourpany. Are you interested in it? This is the contract. We can find a ce to sit down and have a talk. " Director Hudson was keeping an eye on their moves. He walked over in confusion and asked, "Excuse me, and you are...?" "I''m Catherine, the agent of Purple Cloud Media. Ourpany is going to sign Muriel, so Ie here to have a talk with her." Catherine exined. Director Hudson asked in surprise, "Purple Cloud? Catherine? Are you Sunny''s agent?" "Yes, you are right." Catherine was worried that Muriel would refuse herpany because of Sunny, so she exined in a hurry, "Purple Cloud Media has terminated the contract with Sunny already. We sincerely look forward to your joining, and hope you can give us a chance to cooperate." Muriel turned to look at Director Hudson. Hudson thought for a while and said to Muriel, "Muriel, you can consider about it after going through the contract." After all, the reward of an actress was several times more than that of a stunt double. And it was also dangerous for a stunt double to do something difficult. In the cafe, Muriel read the contract roughly and listened to Catherine''s n for her future. Catherine really deserved the title of top agent in Purple Cloud Media, as her yers were all well paid. Muriel thought that it would be better for her to join an agency since she nned to stay in the entertainment circle. "All right, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation." Muriel picked up a pen and signed her name on the contract. Catherine took a deep nce at her and asked, "Now as your agent, I have the right to know everything about you. Including your family background and emotional situation. If something happens in the future, I can help you solve it." "My parents passed away when I was a child." Catherine was stunned for a while, and then she understood why Muriel would be a stunt double. She had already begun to imagine the miserable youth of Muriel. Seeing that Catherine seemed to understand her totally, Muriel smiled and said nothing. "Are you married? Do you have a boyfriend? Do you have a child? " Catherine asked a pile of questions. "Not married, single, no child." Muriel told her the truth. While listening to Muriel''s words, Catherine nodded and lost in thought. Muriel''s family was miserable, her love experience was pure, and she was also hard working. Muriel was indeed a good candidate that could be well cultivated. "Then I''ll go home with you now. After packing up, I''ll take you to ourpany''s dormitory for stars." "Okay." After packing up, Catherine took Muriel to the downstairs of her dormitory. There were only a password box and aptop in Muriel''s suitcase. She carried them to upstairs with ease. Actually, the news that Catherine, the top agent of Purple Cloud Media, was going to sign Muriel, had spread all over thepany. When they heard that Muriel woulde today, many people were curious and stuck their heads out of the window to look down. "Wow, she is pretty though. No wonder Ms. Catherine would sign her." "Don''t say that. I heard that Muriel will be a martial arts star in the future." "No matter what kind of path she''s going to take, she still has to follow this tragic path. After all, she''s Ms. Catherine''s actress now! What a pity!" "You''re talking too much. Don''t gossip in front of the newer. Let''s go to have dinner." Although they talked in a low voice, Muriel, who was carrying her luggage upstairs, happened to hear these words. She stopped for a while and continued to follow Catherine to go upstairs. Chapter 10 Meeting Roommate For The First Time Chapter 10 Meeting Roommate For The First Time Muriel followed Catherine into the dormitory. The wall was painted with light purple paint, and some fake vines fell from the ceiling. The decoration of the whole dormitory presented a fresh and natural style, making people feel iparablyfortable both in physical and mental. There were two women sitting in the living room of the dormitory. When they saw Catherine open the door ande in, they immediately stood up and bowed to Catherine with respect. "Ms. Catherine." Catherine nodded slightly, introduced the two women to Muriel, "They are your roommates. You will live with them for the next period of time. It is said that wherever there are women, there will be a battlefield. I hope you can get along well with each other. Don''t make so many troubles for me." Seeing that Muriel nodded her head, Catherine continued, "If you don''t want to live with them, you have to work hard. It depends on how fast you can be popr and then you will be arranged to different levels of dormitory ording to how popr you can be. If you need to go out, you must let me know, no matter what happens. " "Okay, I see. Ms. Catherine, tonight, we''re going to have a party held by Director Hudson as the y was wrapped. So I''m telling you in advance. " Catherine looked at his watch and said wearily, "I have something to deal with tonight, so I can''t go with you. Try not to drink or drink a little at the wrap party. Come back early and take care of yourself." "Okay, Ms. Catherine, I will try not to drink ande back early." Muriel said calmly, with a confident and innocent smile on her face. Catherine not only worked for Muriel, but also other stars. After she arranged Muriel''s dormitory, she left immediately. Muriel turned to her two roommates and said with a smile, "Hello, I''m Muriel. May I know which one is my room?" When Catherine left, the two roommates immediately crossed their legs and yed on their mobile phones, as if they didn''t hear Muriel''s question. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Seeing that the two did not respond to her, Muriel carried her luggage to the door of a room which she guessed it would be empty, nced at the handle, and then opened it. The two women sitting in the living room exchanged a short nce. They had nned to ignore Muriel on purpose. Then they could scold Muriel and make things difficult for her when she opened their own Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. rooms. Unexpectedly, Muriel opened the right room at the very beginning. Muriel put her luggage in the room, wiped the furniture roughly with a duster cloth, locked the door, and set off for the restaurant booked by Director Hudson. At the wrap party, when Muriel arrived, many people had already started drinking. "Wow, Muriel is here. Come on, fill the ss with wine." The producer put the empty ss in front of Muriel and motioned the crew aside to pour the wine. Looking at the full ss of liquor, Muriel frowned awkwardly and said, "Well, err... I get drunk easily, I can''t drink." "Well, the wrap party is for fun. You can drink it a few more times." The producer advised. Many people came to propose a toast to Director Hudson. He drank a lot and saw what happened on Muriel. Director Hudson poured two sses of Sprite, one for himself and one for Muriel. Heughed and said, "Stop stumping Muriel. Thanks to her these days. Otherwise, as Sunny made such a big trouble, it would have been difficult for our crew toplete the shooting scheduled before. But look, we have Muriel helped us out. " "Let''s drink a toast with Sprite, ha ha." Director Hudson clinked a ss of Sprite with Muriel. Muriel knew that Hudson was trying to get her out of trouble. She nodded gratefully to him and drank up the Sprite in her ss. "No, no, no. Sprite doesn''t count! Come and have a drink tonight. " Other actors echoed. "Ha ha, Mr. Wang, you said you won''t return until you get drunk. Be careful that you will be a joke." "Stop it! A dog''s mouth emits no ivory." They began to y around while drinking. When the other actors got so drunk, they also ran to Muriel with wine bottles and said, "Muriel,e here to drink. I''ll fill it for you." "I really can''t drink. I can get drunk so easily. If my agent knows that I''m drunk, she will scold me to death." Muriel waved her hand, indicating that she really didn''t want to drink it. "You need to drink a little at least. How can you don''t drink at all. Hey, Muriel, you might make Producer Lin feel embarrassed, don''t you Mr. Lin? " The producer agreed, "Right, I don''t want you to get drunk. Just drink a little. Just for my sake." The producer put the ss close to Muriel''s lips. Muriel took the ss with a frown after taking a look at Director Hudson who was surrounded by the crowd. "That''s right. How can you not drink when you are in the entertainment circle? You can be better the next time. Now you should take it as a practice in advance. Let''s cheers. " The producer picked up his ss happily. Embarrassed, Muriel clinked sses with the producer. The producer drank up the liquor in one gulp, looked up at Muriel and raised his eyebrows to hint at her to drink it. Muriel took a deep breath and took a sip as if she had made up her mind. The spicy taste filled her whole taste bud. Muriel put down the ss, picked up the water on the table and gulped it down. Seeing Muriel''s shy look, the producer and some actors apuded. "Come on, keep drinking." "Yes, it''s just a little sip. Let''s have another one." Leaning against the chair, Muriel squinted her eyes and said, "I can''t drink anymore. I feel dizzy." Muriel stood up and said apologetically, "I feel dizzy now. It''ste. I''ll go back first." "Hey, it''s only eleven o''clock. It''s notte at all. Mr. Zhang, pull her back." As soon as Muriel walked out of the box, she was stopped by Mr. Zhang. "Muriel, don''t go. Everyone is drinking happily. How disappointing it is for you to leave now." "I feel dizzy now. I really can''t drink. If I go backte, I will be scolded to death by my agent." Muriel got rid of Mr. Zhang''s hand and stepped back a few steps, identally stepping on a man''s shoes. "Ah! Damn it! Do you want to trample me to death? " Someone cursed from her back. "Sorry, I''m really sorry." "Compensate for me, damn shit!" The drunk man looked at Muriel and said with an evil smile, "Eh, you don''t have to pay for the medical expenses. You can stay with me for one night instead." After saying that, he grabbed Muriel''s wrist and pulled her into his arms. Seeing this, Mr. Zhang hastily came up to pull her. "Hey, what''s going on?" "Who are you?" The man looked at Mr. Zhang arrogantly and asked. "I''m her colleague." "It''s good that you are not her man. Your colleague broke my shoes, I don''t need her to pay for it. Just let her stay with me for one night." "Waiter! Please keep in control here! Someone got drunk and went insane!" Walter stepped forward and pulled Muriel behind him. Chapter 11 Living Together Chapter 11 Living Together The waiter hurried up to stop the rioting man and persuaded, "Sir, please calm down." "Calm fucking down, piss off!" The man pushed the waiter away and shouted, "This restaurant is owned by my father. Who do you think you are? How dare you tell me what to do?" After saying that, the man picked up a bottle of wine beside him and was about to pour it on Muriel and others. As soon as he raised his hand, the bottle in his hand was taken away from behind. "Damn it! Who the hell dares to grab my things. The man turned to look at the person angrily. A tall and strong man in a ck suit was standing behind him. His sunsses made it hard to see his face, but his perfect edges, straight long legs and sexy thin lips could make thousands of girls go crazy for him. This man gave her a strong sense of oppression. The drunken man was frightened by the man''s imposing manner. Before he coulde to his senses, the man standing next to him pped the man on the head. "It''s me! Your daddy! You little jerk!" The owner of the restaurant stared at his son with hatred. Seeing the wine stains on Richard''s shoes, the boss of the restaurant thought in mind, "It might be very bad to offend Richard. "Mr. Richard, I''m really sorry for what happened. My friend is drunk. I apologize for him." The owner of the restaurant stepped forward and said tteringly. "Just apologize to me?" Richard snorted. The owner was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted. He turned around and apologized to Muriel and the others, "I''m very sorry for what happened. We''ll free all the expenses of you in the restaurant tonight. This is a 50% discount coupon. I hope you can enjoy our good service next time at the dinner party." "Are you okay?" Walter asked Muriel. Muriel smiled, "Never mind." "Fine. We didn''t get hurt anyway." Walter was annoyed by such a thing at the wrap party. When the rioter saw that the matter was almost solved and was about to go to the bathroom, Richard stopped his way and sneered, "That''s all?" Hearing this, the man stopped while the boss asked obsequiously, "Err... What can I do for you, Mr. Richard?" "You haven''t apologized to thisdy yet!" The boss wanted to say that he had already apologized just now, but he thought for a while and decided to say it again, "Sorry..." "I''m not asking you to say it. I''m asking him to say it." Richard pointed at the drunken man with his slender and powerful fingers. The boss pulled the man''s ear and pulled him in front of Muriel. "You are so impolite. Come and apologize." The man reluctantly lowered his head and said, "I''m sorry." "What''s up? Why are you standing outside? " Hudson asked in confusion. He was about to go to the bathroom, when he saw Muriel and the others standing outside the box. Walter came forward and told Director Hudson what had happened. When Director Hudson saw the imposing Richard, he walked up in a hurry and said with a smile, "Mr. Richard, I''ve heard a lot about Content provided by N?velDrama.Org. you." Hudson pulled Muriel over and said, "Muriel, you should appreciate him." "Who is this?" Muriel asked cautiously. "This is Richard, the CEO of XR Group, You can call him Mr. Richard." Hudson introduced. Muriel said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Richard." Standing behind Richard, Secretary Victor looked at Muriel in surprise and then at his boss. Richard smiled and ignored Muriel, "Director Hudson, I have something else to do. Let''s have a gathering some other day. I''m interested in TV series recently." "Okay, let''s talk some other time." Director Hudson said with a bright smile. After taking a deep look at Muriel, Richard turned around and left. Everyone wanted to persuade Muriel toe back for a drink. But Director Hudson thought of what had just happened, he asked Muriel to leave and go back to thepany''s dormitory. When Richard returned home, the moonlight shone into the dark living room through the window, and he saw a ck figure sitting on the sofa. Richard''s eyes turned into vignt. He untied his tie slowly and asked coldly, "Who is it?" "Long time no see, Mr. Richard." The woman on the sofa said. Hearing the familiar voice, Richard immediately pressed the switch, and the chandelier on the ceiling lit up the whole living room. It was Muriel! Her big ck eyes were as dark as the sea of waves when she gazed, and there was no drunkenness on her face. Richard became ecstatically happy. He strode forward and sat on the sofa. "Muri, you pretended not to know me just now. I''m so heart-broken." "Thank you for your cooperation. I''m here to ask you a question." Muriel smelled the alcohol from Richard. Looking at his burning eyes, she suddenly blushed. Richard raised his eyebrows and asked, "What''s the problem?" "Was that you who exposed the surveince video on the shooting site?" "Yes, it''s me." Richard couldn''t helpughing. Then he got close to Muriel and yed with Muriel''s earlobe. "How are you going to repay me?" Muriel moved away Richard''s disturbing hand and said, "Thank you, but I hope you can still pretend that we don''t know each other in public from now on." "A mission?" Richard stoppedughing and looked at Muriel seriously. Muriel thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes." "I''ll help you. How do you reward me?" Richard whispered in Muriel''s ear. Muriel frowned and looked at Richard in confusion, "I''m not a deaf. You don''t have to talk to me so close." Richard stood up, took a bottle of juice from the fridge, twisted the bottle cap and handed it to Muriel. "Thank you." Muriel took the juice and put it aside. Seeing what Muriel was doing, Richard felt a little disappointed and said, "You''re wee." "How do you want me to reward you?" Muriel really didn''t know how to repay him. Looking at the confused look on Muriel''s face, Richard''s heart skipped a beat. "How about living with me?" "Live with you?" "Yes." Richard was a little nervous. Since he was so straightforward, Muriel should understand what he meant. Muriel looked at him in confusion, "You even don''t have any bodyguards?" "What?! Richard didn''t know what it had to do with the bodyguards. He shook his head and said, "Right, I have none." "I''m living in Purple Cloud''s dormitory now. I can''t move out. So I can''t protect you." Muriel said seriously. Richard asked, "What?! What do you mean? I can''t understand?" "When you go to thepany for social activities in the daytime, you will be apanied by the driver and assistant. There are many people and many eyes. The killers don''t dare to do anything in the daylight. But when ites to night, things are different. It''s really dangerous to stay at home alone. It''s reasonable that you worried about your safety. " Muriel patted on Richard''s arm tofort his worries. Uh... Fine, Muriel''s reaction was so in his expectation, Richard chuckled and sighed, "Well, forget it. Keep this reward for now. I will ask for itter when I have thought of it. " Chapter 12 A Man And A Woman Locked In A Room Chapter 12 A Man And A Woman Locked In A Room Richard picked up the drink on the table, frowned and asked, "Muriel, don''t you like juice?" "Oh, Yes, I do. Due to the irregr diet during the mission, I always get stomachache. So if I have had this sour juice, I''m afraid I would have stomachache. " Muriel exined. Hearing this, Richard felt sorry for her. He put down the juice and looked up at the clock on the wall. "It''ste now. Why don''t you sleep in my room? I''ll sleep in the living room. I''ll ask someone to send you back to thepany''s dormitory tomorrow." "Why do you sleep in the living room?" Muriel looked at Richard in confusion. Richard looked at Muriel happily, "Then shall we sleep in the same room? Me and you locked in a room? " "Well, what''s the matter? When I was on a mission outside, myrades and I always slept together in the grass. " Muriel said disapprovingly. "With men?" Richard asked in a bad tone. "Well, yes, there is no gender difference between soldiers in the battlefield. It was hard to go on a mission outside. It''s impossible to have a rest alone. Just thank God even when you have a room to sleep." Muriel patted Richard''s back, indicating that she had no feelings for sleeping in the same room with him. Hearing that, Richard felt both angry and distressed. It will be really hard for him to pursue Muriel as her EQ was so low. "You can go to my room and have a rest. I still have some documents to read." After taking two steps towards the bedroom with Richard, Muriel suddenly realized something wrong. She patted her forehead and said helplessly, "Oh, no, look at me! My agent asked me to go back to the Richard put on his suit and looked at his watch. "Let me drive you back." "No, no, No. you can''t give me a ride. If everyone knows that we know each other, it will be doomed." Muriel hurriedly refused, waving her hand. Richard paused. After thinking for a while, he said reluctantly, "OK then, please take care." "Don''t worry. I am Muriel!" Muriel''s ck grape like eyes sparkled with confidence. Although Richard knew that Muriel was an excellentmando, he couldn''t help but remind her, "My number hasn''t changed. If you have any difficulty, please contact me as soon as possible." "You''re really my good pal. You''ve been loyal to me since childhood. I''ll contact you if I need anything." Muriel punched Richard''s chest gently with her fist. Then she waved her hand and rushed to the Feeling the remaining temperature on his chest, Richard walked into the study, opened the drawer and picked up a photo. From the color, it could be seen that this photo had been taken for many years. It was a photo of a primary school graduate. In the middle of the photo, a boy and a girl were holding each other in arms. They were both holding the gesture of victory, smiling brightly. Richard reached out his hand to touch the girl''s face in the photo. If Victor was there, he would definitely recognize that it was Muriel when she was a child at a nce. Muriel came back to Purple Cloud''s dormitory. She avoided the surveince camera and went downstairs. She looked up at her dormitory. The living room was dark, and the lights in the other two roommates'' rooms were on. Muriel roughly observed the terrain. She climbed from the first floor to the five floors quickly and easily entered her room through the window. At the quiet night, Muriel went back to her room without making any noise. "It''s almost one o''clock. But Muriel hasn''te back yet." Lisa Liu ran into Sarah Yao''s room and said. Lying on the bed, Sarah Yao was chatting with her friend on WeChat and she said indifferently, "it''s none of my business whether shees back or not." "Sarah, do you know why Murieles to ourpany? Do you know something about her? " Lisa Liu asked curiously. "I don''t know. I heard that her parents died when she was a child, and she used to be a stunt double." "Why did Ms. Catherine choose her? Ms. Catherine hasn''t been working for any new employee for many years. It''s better for her to choose me than Muriel. " Sitting on the sofa, Lisa Liuined. N?velDrama.Org ? content. Sarah Yao turned to Lisa Liu, "Are you jealous?" "Of course! I have to be jealous! Ms. Catherine is the Company''s best agent and has a lot of resources. As long as Ms. Catherine is willing to, there is no person who can''t be popr. How dare you say that you are not jealous? " Sarah Yao''s expression was a little stiff. She coughed and said, "I''m jealous, too." Lisa Liu rolled her eyes and said, "Ms. Catherine hates disobedient artists. Muriel hasn''te back yet. Shall we call her? Huh? " Hearing this, Sarah Yao''s eyes lit up. She pped her hands and said, "Good idea, let''s call Ms. Catherine to tell her know about this." Sarah Yao picked up her phone and dialed Catherine''s number. "Hello, Ms. Catherine. I''m Sarah. I''m sorry to call you sote. It''s one o''clock already. Muriel hasn''te back yet. We forgot to save her number today. We can''t get in touch with her. I don''t know how she is now. Ms. Catherine, you have been in the entertainment circle for so many years, and you know that it''s possible for anything to happen in a ce like a banquet. " "Okay. I will contact you as soon as she goes back to her dormitory." Seeing that Sarah Yao had hung up the phone, Lisa Liu hurriedly asked, "What''s going on? What did Ms. Catherine say? " "She ising soon." Sarah Yao said proudly, swinging her phone. Catherine called Muriel, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t get through. Then she dialed the number of staff from Love of Ghosts and Goblins, "Hello, I''m Muriel''s agent, Catherine. I can''t get through to Muriel. Could you please let her answer the phone?" While drinking, the one said, "Muriel? She has already gone back. " "She has already gone back?" Catherine asked in confusion. "Yes, she left a few hours ago." After hanging up the phone, Catherine drove fast to the dormitory with a livid face. Catherine arrived at Muriel''s dormitory soon. She knocked on the door angrily. Lisa Liu, who had been waiting in the living room, hurried to open the door. There was a knock on the door and Muriel, who was sleeping on the bed, quickly opened her eyes. She walked to the door and put her ear close to it, carefully paying attention to everything in the living room. Sitting in the living room, Catherine took out his cell phone and dialed the phone number of the crew and some actors'' agent. They all said that Muriel left the banquet ahead of time and no one knew where she went and no one could contact her. "Ms. Catherine, have some water please." Sarah Yao handed the cup to her. In a rage, Catherine grabbed the cup and threw it to the ground. With a crackling sound, the ceramic cup broke into pieces. Muriel had figured it out. She rubbed her hair and opened the door, looking at the people in the living room with blurred eyes. "Ms. Catherine? What''s up? What happened? " The three stared nkly at Muriel who suddenly appeared, "..." Chapter 13 XR Culture Chapter 13 XR Culture "You are in the dormitory?" Lisa asked in surprise. Muriel nodded in confusion, "Yes, I am." "No way! Why we haven''t noticed when you came back!" Seeing that Catherine''s face returned to normal, Sarah asked in a hurry. "When I went back to the dormitory, I thought you had already gone to bed. I was afraid of waking you up, so I came in quietly." Hearing Muriel''s exnation, the anger in Catherine''s heart finally subsided, and she returned to calm as a strong woman. "Why is your phone powered off?" "Powered off? Let me see." Muriel went back to her room and took out her phone. She said apologetically, "it''s out of power. It turned off automatically." Catherine rubbed her eyebrows and stood up, "From now on, you have to charge your phone as soon as possible if the power is less than forty percent. Make sure that your phone is on twenty-four hours a day. You should answer my call in any case." "Okay." Muriel nodded. "I won''t do it again." Catherine took a look at Muriel and then stared at Lisa and Sarah with anger. She didn''t name anyone, but the three answered together, "Yes, Ms." Seeing Catherine off, Lisa and Sarah breathed a sigh of relief. When they came to their senses, they found themselves sweating profusely. "Uh, Muriel." Ignoring them, Muriel pretended to yawn and went back to her room. "Damn it! Why is she so arrogant?" Gritting her teeth, Lisa was about to argue with Muriel. Seeing this, Sarah grabbed Lisa''s arm and shook her head. "Forget it. It''s toote. Let''s go to bed." "Sarah, how can you swallow your anger? She didn''t tell us when she came back, which caused us to be scolded by Ms. Catherine. She must have done it on purpose." Lisa stamped her feet angrily. Many people were like this. Once their own interests were vited, they wouldpletely forget who stirred up the dispute. Every cause has an effect. Sarah frowned, "Listen to me, this matter has turned over. You are going to audition tomorrow, aren''t you? Go to bed early." "Oh, yes! I even forgot about it. I''m doomed! " Lisa hurried back to her room to rest. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Sarah nced at the door of Muriel''s room and shook her head. After thinking for a while, she went back to her own room. She always felt that Muriel was not as harmless as she looked. After returning to her room, Muriel charged her phone and sent a message, "I arrived. Good night." She input Richard''s phone number in the recipient''s column without thinking and sent it out. Less than ten seconds after Muriel sent the message, Richard replied, "Good night, sweet dreams." Early in the morning, Muriel jogged near the dormitory of thepany. There was a slight vibration in her pocket. Muriel took out her phone and found that it was Director Hudson. "Hello, Hudson." "Muriel, do you get up?" Director Hudsonughed loudly on the phone. "Yes, I''m up." "Are you feeling dizzy? Those colleagues forced me to drink yesterday. I''m really sorry for what happened yesterday. You must be wronged. " The second day after Hudson woke up, he thought that he should call Muriel to talk about it. If it was just amon guy, Hudson would have ignored this. When he was on the shooting site, he admired Muriel''s dedication to work from the bottom of his heart. Muriel had been hanging for several hours without saying anything bitter or tired. Hudson thought that Muriel was a good girl. If she kept this attitude, she would definitely have a bright future very soon. "Thanks to Mr. Richard, he saved my day. I didn''t feel wronged." After the two of them chatted for a while, Director Hudson began to get to the point. "Muriel, do you have a twitter?" "A twitter?" Muriel suddenly thought of the new ount she registeredst time, which was named "the captain of HX", she smiled, "I don''t have any twitter ount." "Then you can register a twitter ount right now and ask your agent to help you verify it. After the ount is registered, please tell me. The following publicity of Love of Ghosts and Goblins needs to mention you on it." "Okay." After hanging up the phone, Muriel quickly registered another new twitter ount and made a call to Hudson. The Love of Ghosts and Goblins was half finished. The official twitter of this TV series posted, "Beautiful, pure, loyal, you." The one and only Fairy Wendy @Muriel. And put Muriel''s publicity photos on it! "What? Muriel acted as the role of Fairy Wendy? What about Sunny? The puzzledizens immediately clicked to look at the big pictures. The white dress with silk belt around the waist showed Muriel''s perfect figure. She held the long sword in her hand, raised her chin slightly, and looked noble and arrogant. Her eyes were like swords, which can grasp your heart, and if you looked into them, it would make you feel scared. "Oh my God! So gorgeous! I really want to die under the sword of Fairy Wendy! What''s wrong with me?" "I suddenly want to lick the screen! Although I''m a woman... " "These photos were nothing like the ones Sunny showed before! They showed more superiority. Fortunately, Director Hudson reced Sunny, or I wouldn''t have chased after the drama. " At the same time, some of them doubted, "Can Muriel perform well? I doubt it! " "Nowadays, some young stars graduated from the film academy are so bad in acting. I''ve heard that Muriel even didn''t major in any film academy. I don''t think she will be good at acting!" "I became a fan of Muriel only just now. Are you pushing me to cancel her?" When people were talking about Muriel, the official twitter of Hot News quickly entered the hot topic list. The XR Group officially announced that it would purchase Times Culture, with a total price of 300 million dors and a total transaction scale of 1 billion dors. The name of Times Culture was changed to XR Culture. The XR Group agreed to pay 107.50 dors for each share of Times Culture, half cash and half shares. The auction was expected to be finished by the end of next year. What happened? Did XR Group, which was engaged in electronic research and development, enter the entertainment industry? Many people analyzed that the reason why the XR Group made this move was that it valued the film and television content of Times Culture. In addition to many film and television productionpanies, Times Culture also possessed 10% shares of TVwork and streaming media. XR Group hoped to transform and provide better and more video services. The deal would allow XR Group to broadcast the content of the cultural program of Times Culture through its mobile phone, TV and Inte channels. When Hudson saw the news, he stood up excitedly. Yesterday at the wrap party, he thought that Richard might be joking. He didn''t expect that today there would be news about XR Group''s acquisition of Times Culture! Muriel saw that her fans on twitter kept growing, and broke through one hundred thousand in less than an hour. Then she was surprised to see this news when she refreshed her twitter. Many people discussed why XR Group entered the entertainment circle. Some believed that XR Group wanted to transform, and some believed that it was a wrong acquisition made by the board of directors. Chapter 14 Come To The New Crew Chapter 14 Come To The New Crew Muriel called Richard in a hurry. Seeing the caller ID on his phone, Richard paused his meeting and This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. walked out of the conference room to answer the phone. "Are you calling me just for today''s news?" "Richard, are you buying Times Culture just for me?" Muriel asked straightforwardly. Richard could imagine how conflicted Muriel was at the other end of the phone. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I said I would protect you for all my life." "Ho! Richard, you said that when you were only in grade five. You still remember it?" Muriel asked in surprise. "Don''t you remember?" Muriel coughed and said, "Err... Well, forget it. I don''t need you to protect me by spending so much money and buying otherpanies. " "Don''t worry. The acquisition didn''t cost much. Besides, I have my own thoughts and ns. The "All right. I''m going to work in the new crew. You can go ahead with your work." Richard reminded her again and again, "If you have a stomachache, you should pay attention to your diet habits. If the shooting is not over after the meal time, prepare something to fill your stomach." "OK, I''ll be careful. Bye." In the meeting room, the department manager asked curiously, "Secretary Victor, who is on the phone with Mr. Richard? It''s been so long. " Before Secretary Victor opened his mouth, the project manager beside him also asked curiously, "Yes, yes. Mr. Richard never answers phone calls in meetings. Secretary Victor, do you know who that is?" Without any expression on his face, Secretary Victor sorted out the materials and said, "I don''t know." "Really? You are with him every day... " "Bang!" The door of the meeting room was opened, and the project manager swallowed the words on the lips in a hurry. Richard returned to his seat and continued to listen to his subordinate''s report. On the other side, Muriel packed her luggage and got in Catherine''s car to ahead to the film crew. When they arrived at the destination, a woman saw Catherine''s car and strode forward, she respectfully shouted, "Ms. Catherine." "Muriel, this is your assistant, Lydia. I have to go to the next crew now. If there is any emergency, please inform me as soon as possible." Catherine said after checking the time. "Okay." After Catherine left, Lydia Zhang reached out to take over Muriel''s suitcase. Muriel hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, thank you, there''s no need to help me out. I can do it myself." Lydia Zhang took a look at Muriel and found that Muriel really meant it, as she was in a firm attitude instead of politeness, so she gave up the idea of carrying Muriel''s suitcase. ording to the instructions of the crew, Muriel finally found director Hudson on the shooting site. "Director Hudson, I''m here!" Director Hudson looked up at the person in front of him and said with pleasant surprise, "Oh, I''m looking forward to seeing you, Muriel!" "Director Hudson, I''m sorry. Since I signed Purple Cloud Media a few days ago, I''ve been busy with the subsequent signing of the contract recently. I''m really sorry that I didn''te in time." Muriel said sincerely. "It doesn''t matter. Your dormitory is over there. Hurry up to put your luggage away and get dressed." Seeing this, Lydia picked up the suitcase first. "Go straight to change your clothes. I''ll help you carry the suitcase back." Muriel thought for a while and nodded. After changing the clothes, Muriel sat next to Director Hudson and watched the video yback. The martial arts director was exining the martial arts action of the heroine Lindy. As soon as Lindy arrived at the shooting site, she saw Muriel sitting next to Director Hudson. With a frown, she pulled a member of the crew and asked unhappily, "Who is that?" "That''s Muriel, don''t you know the one who was framed by Sunny a few days ago? That incident is very popr on twitter." The crew said excitedly. "So that''s her? Why does shee to our crew?" The crew teased, "I heard that Director Hudson is going to arrange a role for her." "Now that the roles have been settled, how can he find a vacancy in them?" Lindy looked at Muriel discontentedly. "I heard that Director Hudson asked the scriptwriter to change the script and add a character to it." Clenching her waist, Lindy said angrily, "What the hell! I hate people who get into the group by pulling strings! It might force the scriptwriter to change the script and destroy theplete story. " Lindy had been acting since she was a child, and she had acted in all kinds of dramas. After so many years of training, her acting skills were outstanding for her age. As a sunny and confident woman, she looked down upon those actors who were not good at acting and entered the group by pulling strings. Now in her eyes, Muriel was undoubtedly such a person. After listening to the exnation of the martial arts director, Muriel nodded to show that she understood. What she was going to shoot now was the scene that the heroine, Tessa Tang, found that someone''s wallet was stolen when she went shopping, and she ran wildly all the way in her fifteen- centimeter high heels to catch the thief. In this video, Lindy had been NG for countless times. It was very difficult for her to run all the way in fifteen-centimeter-high heels, and it was very easy to fall down, not to mention that she had to fight against the thiefter. It took them three days to shoot this scene before they could barely ept. No matter how hard they edit, the effect was not cool and awesome. It was far from the scene in Director Hudson''s mind. The director who was strict with the y could only ce his hopes on Muriel. "Three, two, action!" As soon as he gave the order, a scream came from the figurant, "Ah! Catch the thief! " Muriel quickly turned around and ran after the thief in her fifteen-centimeter-high heels. The figurant who yed thief was about to slow down and wait for Muriel toe up, but when he turned around, he saw Muriel was already behind him, which made him stumble and fall to the ground. It was written in the script that the thief found that Tessa Tang had caught up with him, so he had to stop and pick up the dagger to stab her. Tessa Tang dodged the attack and quickly subdued the thief. But now the thief was frightened by Muriel and fell to the ground, which was different from the script. Director Hudson frowned and was about to call cut. But look at Muriel! She reacted quickly. She turned the thief over with her back up, bent her knees and pressed the thief''s legs directly, and reached out to grab the thief''s two arms to dissuade him behind. The thief was suppressed and couldn''t move. He was so anxious that veins bulged on his face. Tessa Tang scolded coldly, "Hands up. I''m a police." "¡­¡­" It''s always awkward that the air would suddenly be quiet. Director Hudson came to his senses and shouted excitedly, "Cut! Oh my goodness!" Hearing Director Hudson''s voice, Muriel quickly released the figurant who yed the thief and said apologetically, "I''m sorry. Did I hurt you?" "No." The thief looked at Muriel strangely. Just now, he was brought into the y by the tone and action of Muriel. For a moment, he really thought he was a thief. Director Hudson and the martial arts director watched the yback of the video for several times. The more they looked at it, the bigger the smile on their faces became. He praised loudly, "Muriel, it''s good for you to cope with the emergency. This scene is really amazing! Tut-tut-tut." Chapter 15 Yam Chicken Soup Chapter 15 Yam Chicken Soup Director Hudson said to the figurant who was ying the thief, "Mr. Wu, I just found that your acting skill is very good today. Look at your veins!" "Uh, I wish I deserved yourpliment." Mr. Wu said it with embarrassment while looking at Muriel. "So shall we use this one or follow the script?" The martial arts director asked. Director Hudson thought for a while and said to Muriel and Mr. Wu, "the one shot just now has passed. Let''s do it again ording to the script and take a few more scenes for back up. We will consider which one to useter." Sitting a little far away, Lindy was shocked by Muriel''s fighting skills. Sitting next to her, Lindy''s assistant said excitedly, "Wow, how cool she is!" Hearing this, Lindy red at her unhappily, "Burr! What''s the big deal! She''s just good at martial arts. If she doesn''t have any acting skills, everything will be in vain! " The assistant knew why Lindy was angry, so she quietly sat aside and secretly took a photo of Muriel. "Three, two, action!" This time, the thief didn''t fall down again. He turned around and stabbed at Tessa. She hit the thief''s wrist joint with her palm, and the thief let go of the knife in pain. When the knife fell to the ground, she kicked it away. When the thief saw this, he was about to throw a punch at Tessa''s face. Tessa held her fist with one hand and twisted it back. The thief''s face turned pale with pain. As the saying goes, "Taking advantage of your illness to take your life." Tessa turned the thief around. She kicked his leg with her fifteen-centimeter-high heels, and the thief knelt down in pain. "Cut!" Director Hudson shouted excitedly. "Ah..." The assistant of Lindy couldn''t help but scream in a low voice. Seeing the gaze from Lindy, she had to shut up. But her hand holding the milk tea kept shaking, revealing her excitement. Lindy turned to look at Muriel, who was standing on the shooting site. It seemed that Lindy couldn''t hold her face in cold for another second. She took a deep breath and suppressed her impulse to scream. The assistant of Lindy quickly picked up her mobile phone and registered a new ount on twitter to follow Muriel. She looked through Muriel''s twitter but only found that Muriel had only posted one twitter, the one that the official twitter of Love of Ghosts and Goblins had posted before. She joined Muriel''s fans group and posted several pictures of Muriel subduing thieves. There weren''t many fans. Almost all of them were attracted by the moves of Muriel holding Sunny and the photos from Love of Ghosts and Goblins. But Muriel didn''t update her twitter, and there were also few other resources about her. Many people This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. even wanted to cancel her. As soon as these pictures were sent out by Lindy''s assistant-Yumi, it immediately caused turmoil in the group. An e-pal called, "I''m three years old today" typed, "Oh, my God! Is this Muriel''s new y? Muriel''s fan typed, "It''s a new y. The director hasn''t announced it yet. We just need to lower our voice. The one named "the wind was so strong that my hair was in a mess "typed, "Ah! Why does Muriel look so cool in casual clothes! Another named "I''m a fan of Muriel" typed, "How did you take these photos!" "Muriel''s fan" typed, "I happened to be in the same team with her." Hearing this, everyone immediately began to talk excitedly. Yumi knew what she should do. She only gave a rough idea of some questions and did not reveal them all. Director Hudson and the martial arts director began to y back the two videos. Muriel hurriedly helped the figurant to stand up. Although she had weakened most of her strength, some of her movements were still with some strength in order to look real. The figurant would be more or less injured. "This one has passed! Ms. Wang took Muriel to go to change clothes and try to finish shooting Lindy''s previous scenes. " No matter how difficult the martial arts director required, Muriel could only get NG once at most, and most of her scenes were shot once. Director Hudson was so happy that he forgot the time for dinner. Feeling a stomachache, Muriel still didn''t change her expression and dedicated herself to a series of martial arts moves. In the CEO''s office of XR Group, Richard, who returned to his office after the meeting, immediately stopped Secretary Victor leaving, "Go to LX Home Restaurant to pack up a yam ck chicken soup and send it to Muriel at the film and television base of capital city." "Okay." Although Secretary Victor was surprised to receive this task, he still pushed his sses and nodded. Richard thought for a while and said, "Why don''t you send it by yourself? I don''t want everyone to know this. Keep a low profile and don''t let others find out that it''s me who sent it." Secretary Victor felt it hard to do this. He looked down at the documents in his arms and said, "But I..." Following his sight, Richard smiled and said, "I''m not in a hurry to get these materials. You can send them to me before tonight." He had to work overtime again! Secretary Victor was crying in his heart. Richard seemed to have a special ability to read Secretary Victor''s mind. Heforted him, "I''ll raise your sry next month. I''ll give you double year-end bonus." Hearing this, the grievance in Secretary Victor''s heart quickly dissipated. He said happily, "Mr. Richard, I''m on my way." On the shooting site, the hungry people couldn''t help reminding Director Hudson of the time. When he came to his senses, he immediately asked everyone to have lunch. The lunch box was already cold. After swallowing the dry and cold rice, Muriel felt a sharper pain in her stomach. "There''s a call." The assistant handed Muriel''s phone. Muriel took the phone and walked to a corner to answer it. "What''s up?" "Have you had lunch?" "I''m eating." "You just ate it? It''s already three o''clock. " Richard said in a worried tone, "I asked my secretary to bring you a bowl of soup. He is outside the shooting site now. It''s good for your stomach. You should finish it instead of pouring it out." "Okay, thank you." After hanging up the phone, Muriel walked out of the shooting site and saw a man in takeout clothes carrying a bowl of soup. Seeing Muriele out, he quickly walked up and handed the soup to her. Muriel looked at him and asked curiously, "Are you Mr. Richard''s secretary?" "Yes." Secretary Victor replied awkwardly. "Why do you dress like this?" "Mr. Richard said that he couldn''t let others know that you know each other, so I had to pretend to be a delivery man to bring you some soup." "Ha-ha. Thank you for your hard work." Muriel went back to the shooting site with soup in her hand. The people beside her asked curiously, "What''s this?" "Yam ck chicken soup." The crew took out the advertising paper from the bag and asked, "Eh? This is from LX Home Restaurant! Didn''t they send them to the film and television base? Why did they send them here when Muriel ordered today? " Another crew member pointed at the address on the leaflet in surprise. "The branch store of LX Home Restaurant is near our film and television base! Why wasn''t there any news before? It opened a branch all of a sudden! " "Yes, I often pass by there, but I haven''t seen any decoration. It''s so weird. The opening ceremony will be held three dayster. Today is the first day for the trial operation. During the trial operation, the top ten customers will be free of charge! What a wonderful activity! " Hearing their discussion, Muriel guessed that Richard must have opened a branch near the film and television base. Chapter 16 Release The Photos Chapter 16 Release The Photos Muriel finished all the parts of Lindy''s scenes after she joined the group for only a few days, and as Muriel could always perfectly show the action of what the martial arts director had said, Director Quentin was also getting more and more strict with her action. One hit scene was filmed in five different versions. When the director watched these scenes, his hair was almost worn out. The director and the editor held several meetings seriously, but they still couldn''t decide which version to be used. Actually, they wanted them all. They didn''t want to give up either one of them. In the dressing room, Muriel wore a short silver hair, and her long ck hair was tied up and hidden in the wig. Muriel looked at her new hairstyle through the mirror on her side. Her big ck eyes were drawn on two long and thin eyeliners. When she gazed at the mirror, her eyes were like the calm ck sea, and when her eyes flowed, they were like the stars flying in the sky. "Your skin is so good. How do you take care of it?" The make-up artist asked enviously as she put on the makeup for Muriel. Of course, Muriel wouldn''t tell her the truth of her natural beauty. "Well, try not to stay upte. Go to bed early and get up early. Insist on jogging and drinking water every day." "Wow! You look so handsome!" The make-up artist looked at Muriel with satisfaction. Frowning, Muriel looked at herself in the mirror and said in confusion, "I feel a little weird." "HMM... Maybe you haven''t dressed like this before, so you may not get used to it for a while. " The make-up artist exined. Muriel shook her head, pointed at the wig on her head and said, "I feel that this wig looks fake at a nce." "Because your hair is too long, it will be a little strange to put on the wig. It is hard to find out unless someone looks at you carefully." Muriel thought for a while and took off the wig. Her long silky hair fell on her shoulder. "Well, don''t wear the wig, just cut it short directly!" "What?" The make-up artist stared at Muriel in surprise and asked, "So you are going to cut your hair short?" "Yes." The make-up artist widened her eyes and asked again, "Are you sure you want to cut your hair short?" Muriel kept nodding her head. The makeup artist had been in the entertainment circle for so many years. All the actors and actresses she had seen cherished their hair very much. It was the first time that she had seen an actress who asked to cut her hair without wearing a wig. The make-up artist took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then she cut Muriel''s long hair skillfully, and the scissors danced on her hand. Scissors, thin scissors, toothb, electric knife, big clip, hair dryer. About three hourster, Muriel''s short hair was dyed silver. The make-up artist blew up her bangs. Seeing that her hair was done, the stylist asked Muriel to get dressed in a hurry. Muriel changed her clothes and walked out. Her silver hair and slender eyeliner made her eyes deep and blurred. She was wearing a ck shirt, a pair of ck casual trousers and a pair of Rivet Shoes in punk style. If they hadn''t seen Muriel go into the dressing room, they would have thought that she was a handsome young man! "Ahhh!" The make-up artist and the stylist hugged together excitedly, and the other crew in the dressing room also hugged each other. Muriel looked at the people hugging together in a daze. She walked to the mirror, look into the mirror sideways and straightened the top button. The make-up artist almost spat out nosebleed when she saw this scene. She covered her nose and said with difficulty, "I... I feel my heart is about to jump out." The movie called "Storm" was generally talking about, the parents of the heroine were both police. They had offended the gangsters by cracking down on pornography. Later, the parents of the heroine were revenged by the gangsters, and both of them were killed. When she grew up, the heroine also became a police. She met the leader of the underworld in an action, and then the heroine became a spy working for the leader of the underworld. In the end, they were all brought to justice by the heroine. In this movie, Muriel acted as a capable subordinate of the leader of the underworld. She was ruthless and fast as lightning, so everyone in the underworld respected her and addressed her "Ms. Leopard." As soon as the photographer saw Muriel, an idea urred to him. He said excitedly, "Okay, turn your body a little and untie the first cor with your hand." Muriel did as she was told. The photographer quickly took ten photos, "Be more arrogant, and the evil smile at the corners of your mouth is very good, good, perfect!" "Don''t put on your suit. Hold the coat with your right hand from behind, raise your head and look at the camera with disdain. Good! Great! " After a whole afternoon''s shooting, Muriel didn''t know how many photos she had taken. She rubbed her stiff cheeks, without showing any tiredness on her face. "How''s the shooting going?" Director Quentin walked into the studio and asked. "Hello, Director Quentin." Seeing Director Quentine in, Muriel nodded for respect. Director Quentin''s eyes lit up when he saw Muriel''s new hairstyle. He walked quickly to Muriel and said excitedly, "Wow, this hairstyle is so handsome! Ms. Wang, I owe you a praise today." Ms. Wang was Muriel''s makeup artist. She asked happily with hands covered on hot face, "Director Quentin, how are you going to praise me? Can I have a drumstick? " "Just one more? I''ll add two drumsticks for you! " Director Quentin leaned over to the cameraman and appreciated Muriel''s pictures one by one. Finally, he and the cameraman struggled to choose three photos. Director Quentin said to the staff who was in charge of their official twitter, "Director Hudson has released the fragments of the episode behind the scenes of Love of Ghosts and Goblins. Now it is very popr. You should throw out the news that Muriel will take part in the y in an hour. The role is temporarily confidential. Use these three photos when you post it on twitter. " After receiving the order, the editor immediately ran back to his office to edit the twitter. The make-up artist and the stylist pulled the clothes of the cameraman and begged, "Please pack them up and send me all the photos in this folder. I want high definition without any code. Oops, let me put it again. The clearer, the better!" Sitting aside, Muriel got her phone from her assistant. When she logged in twitter, her phone kept ringing. There were tens of thousands of reposted of the news and tens of thousands ofments, hundreds of thousands of likes, and a lot of private messages that she hadn''t followed. Muriel quickly muted twitter. When she refreshed the home page, she knew that it was because of the Love of Ghosts and Goblins. This official post had been reposted in less than three hours but it had already reached the amount of thirty thousand. Muriel clicked on the video and watched it. The first half of the video was about the rivalry scene with the hero and the heroine, the heroine forgot the lines and the hero made fool of himself when he was hanging wires. The next second, the happy atmosphere quickly changed to a superior style. In the video, Muriel, who yed Fairy Wendy, were fighting against the members of the demonic cult.

Chapter 17 Best Actor But More In Name Than Reality Chapter 17 Best Actor But More In Name Than Reality "The fairy yed by Muriel is so beautiful! This is what a fairy should look like. The photo of Sunny was like a temptress from a brothel. " "Did you notice that the scenes were all shot by Muriel herself? She didn''t use any substitute. That''s awesome! " "Upstairs. I heard that Muriel used to be a stand in for fighting." Muriel retweeted the post of "Love of Ghosts and Goblins" on twitter, but said nothing. When Muriel''s fans saw that Muriel finally updated her twitter, they were very excited. As a result, they saw that she had just reposted the twitter of Love of Ghosts and Goblins. She didn''t even say thank you for your support. Most of thements under Muriel''s twitter were being updated, "Why my Muri is so aloof? What shall I do? I''m waiting for answers in a hurry." "Maybe Muri know nothing about twitter? What a pity! She posted too few! It''s better for thepany to find someone to manage her twitter! " "Yes, yes. Other stars always take selfies, scenery and food. Muri is so fresh and refined, different from the coquettish bitches outside!" Looking at her fans who were screaming like kittens, Muriel couldn''t helpughing in a low voice. At the same time, the official twitter of Storm also posted on twitter, "Wee, Muriel! @ Muriel!" Three shooting pictures were attached. This twitter post was quickly reposted within five minutes! "Ahhh! After seeing this photo, I began to doubt if I was a lesbian! " "She is soooo handsome! Mom asked me why I was kneeling on the ground and browsing twitter! " "My phone screen seems to be dirty! Because I keep licking it! " Original from N?velDrama.Org. "I''m begging for high-definition pictures without any watermarking! It''s so upset to have watermarking on them! " Muriel retweeted the post from "Storm" on twitter. The messages kept popping up on her mobile phone, and the number of fans quickly broke through five hundred thousand in less than an hour. Then the phone was powered off. There was still sixty percent power left in the phone, but it was out of power in a short time. Muriel had no choice but to hand the phone to her assistant to charge it. Muriel quickly ranked first on the hot search list? "Storm of Muriel? "The topic quickly ranked first on the one hour hot topic list and fifth on the twenty-four hour hot topic list. Catherine, who was on abroad, logged in twitter and saw Muriel on the hot search list and hot topic list. She frowned and immediately clicked in to check. Under thements, there were a group of girls who were obsessed with good looking faces shouting that Muriel was so handsome and wanted to give birth to a baby for her. Seeing that Muriel''s fans had broken through the top two million, Catherine''s eyes widened in surprise. Catherine knew that Muriel was going to y a small role in the Storm, so she didn''t pay much attention to it. She didn''t expect that Muriel would be so hot, which was beyond her expectation. Catherine sorted out her work n. It seemed that she had to focus more on Muriel from now on. While in XR Group, Richard browsed through Muriel''s twitter and clicked the "follow" button. Looking at the arrogant, confident and handsome Muriel in those photos, he pursed his lips with deep eyes. He moved the mouse to the right of the pictures and saved them. Richard looked at Secretary Victor and said, "You don''t need to hire the rumormongers to hype for Muriel." Secretary Victor asked in confusion, "Why?" "Now theizens have a good response. If we let the online rumormongers browse the topic at this time, it will cause someizens to be disgusted and have a negative effect." "Got it." Secretary Victor nodded. On the shooting site of Storm, director Quentin was exining about the film to everyone. Next, he was going to shoot the fight between the group that killed the heroine''s parents and another group. When the two groups of people fought for the territory, they were supposed to divide the regions peacefully, but as a result, they fought fiercely as soon as they disagreed with each other. There were many figurants joined in this part. In order to make every scene more wonderful, everyone listened to the exnation of the martial arts director and roughly rehearsed. "Mr. Wang, hasn''t Culbert arrived yet?" Director Quentin looked at his watch and asked impatiently. Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "Not yet." "How long has it been? Please call their agent and ask for what''s going on. " "I called the agent just now. Their agent said there was a traffic jam." Director Quentin pounded on the table angrily and roared, "What the hell! There is no traffic jam on the road. They said the same three hours ago!" Seeing the furious Director Quentin, everyone took the work in their hands lightly, fearing that a big move would attract his attention and make themselves be scolded innocently. "Oh, I''m sorry, Director Quentin! It''s rush hour now. It''s so crowded outside that we can''t even walk a kilometer in half an hour. " Culbert Yang smoothed his hair. He walked quickly into the shooting site. Director Quentin''s face darkened. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger and said indifferently, "Fine." The make-up artist and the stylist quickly took Culbert Yang to do the hairstyle, and some people on the shooting site whispered to each other. "Who is that man?" Muriel asked curiously. The figurants beside her looked at Muriel in surprise, "don''t you know the best actor Culbert?" Muriel said shyly, "I didn''t pay much attention to these things before." Another figurant teased, "He doesn''t count as the best actor actually. Best actor at the pheasant Film Festival? Ha ha. " "Keep your voice down. You''re courting death by speaking so loudly." The man hit him with his elbow. When the two of them saw that Muriel was looking at them in confusion, they thought for a while and whispered, "That''s Culbert. He got the best actor at a film festival a few days ago, and no one heard of that film festival. He could get the best actor with money." Muriel nodded. Seeing that Culbert Yang had put on make-up, they dispersed naturally. Director Quentin asked the assistant director to go forward and exin the y to Culbert Yang. After confirming that there was no problem, everyone returned to their positions. In an abandoned warehouse, the light was flickering. Fallen leaves were all over the ground outside. A gust of cold wind blew, and the leaves were flying. Crack The match flew across the white phosphorus and started to burn. Taking a deep drag on his cigar, James said leisurely, "I''ll take thesends." "Mr. ck, are you too greedy? This one belongs to me, and the rest belongs to you." "No, I''ll take these. The rest belongs to you." A man with a thick gold chain rotated the golden ring in his hand and said discontentedly, "Mr. ck, we have agreed toe here to discuss. You don''t give me any room for negotiation! Your territory is much more than mine. " "I just like these ces." The man pointed at Mr. ck and cursed, "Are you fucking going too far?" "Bang!" Suddenly, a harsh gunshot sounded, and everyone was frightened to look up immediately. The sound of footsteps slowly came from the entrance of the warehouse. The light was dim, and no one could see each other clearly. "Who are you?" A woman with silver hair and ck casual suit walked into the warehouse slowly, spinning her pistol. When Mr. ck''s boys saw clearly who that was, they immediately called out respectfully, "Ms. Leopard." Chapter 18 Being Taken Advantage Of Chapter 18 Being Taken Advantage Of Hearing this, the men behind Lawrence Liu couldn''t help but take a step back. Everyone turned around to look at theirpanions, and without exception, they saw shock on each other''s faces. Ms. Leopard had a good reputation in the underworld! She killed people without blinking her eyes and was moody. In the eyes of gang members, Ms. Leopard was more ferocious than Mr. ck, but she was willing to be his subordinate. Ms. Leopard walked leisurely to the side of Mr. ck, stopped spinning the pistol with her fingers, and quickly stabilized it with her hand. She nodded at Mr. ck and said, "Boss." "Who are you?" Lawrence Liu narrowed his eyes and stared at her fiercely, but his fat face and big ears couldn''t make her feel a little scared. Mr. ck stood up unsteadily. He took a drag on his cigar and blew it slowly on Ms. Leopard face. Seeing this, Director Quentin frowned and stared at the screen seriously. Seeing that Muriel stood motionlessly and had no response, a cunning look shed across Culbert''s face. Mr. ck put his arm around Ms. Leopard''s shoulder and looked at Lawrence provocatively, "This is Ms. Leopard." Lawrence looked at Mr. ck in surprise. It was not the lines and actions in the script at all, so everyone didn''t know how to continue. "Cut!" Director Quentin''s voice broke the silence. Culbert withdrew his hand from Muriel''s shoulder, but somehow his hand slid across her hip, as if it identally touched her. As Director Quentin gave the order, the makeup artists standing aside rushed up to fix everyone''s makeup. The make-up artist applied some gel to Muriel''s hair. Looking at Culbert who was called over by Director Quentin, Muriel cursed in her heart. "Culbert, what''s wrong with you just now? It''spletely different from the script!" Culbert exined to Director Quentin with a smile, "Director, I have studied the script carefully when I was stuck in the traffic jam. The old man was the leader of a gang in the underworld. How could he allow the arrogant woman to surpass him? Isn''t he afraid that Ms. Leopard will rece him? " Hearing Culbert''s exnation, Director Quentin nodded, indicating him to continue. "I think Mr. ck likes her. They two have known each other for many years. One is the leader of the gang, and the other is a capable subordinate. We share weal and woe together, and she is so beautiful. It''s impossible that Mr. ck doesn''t like her. " Culbert took the bottle of water from his assistant, took a sip and continued, "This scene is a demonstration of Ms. Leopard''s shooting. When Mr. ck introduced her to Lawrence Liu, he should be very proud andcent." "Well, this is a good exnation." Director Quentin read over the script and nodded. Culbert narrowed his eyes and continued, "Director, how about we shoot two versions? And then you can choose one of the two versions that you like?" Director Quentin pped his hands happily, "Okay, two versions." As soon as he finished his words, Director Quentin went to notice Muriel about the changes. Noticing that someone was staring at her, Muriel raised her head and looked into Culbert''s eyes. He smoked and blinked at Muriel. The scene was shot again. N?velDrama.Org ? content. "Who are you?" Lawrence Liu stared at Ms. Leopard with a murderous look. Holding Muriel''s waist and pulling her into his arms, Culbert took a drag on his cigar. This time, he went straight to Muriel''s face and blew the smoke on Muriel''s eyes on purpose. Muriel still looked at Lawrence Liu indifferently, but her eyes became colder and colder. Mr. ck said proudly, "This is Ms. Leopard." "Ms. Leopard, why did you kill my brother?" Lawrence''s fat palm mmed on the table, and the mobile phone was bounced up and down on the table. Staring at the corpse, Ms. Leopard said in a gloomy voice, "Who let him say something rude? How dare he curse Mr. ck?" "Though my brother offended Mr. ck, he shouldn''t have died like this! I''ll take all thend in the East as apensation. " "No." Mr. ck shook his cigar and refused. "Hey, you are so unreasonable. You..." "Bang!" With the gunshot, Lawrence Liu fell down. "Brother Lawrence, Brother Lawrence!" One of Lawrence''s men looked up at Ms. Leopard angrily. Ms. Leopard stroked her pistol and said calmly, "When on earth will you stop talking? It''s easily solved in this way. Ha ha. " "Damn it! I''ll avenge Brother Lawrence!" The men quickly pulled out their pistols from their waists. With one hand on the table, Ms. Leopard quickly turned over and kicked off the man''s gun. Wherever she raised her hand, someone''s head was exploded. Lawrence''s men were all killed in a blink of an eye. Mr. ck seemed not to see the fierce fight just now. He sat calmly in the chair and smoked slowly. His eyes were burning as he watched Ms. Leopard put away her pistol neatly. "Cut." Director Quentin stood up excitedly and apuded, "Muriel did a great job! The look in her eyes was so good just now that I felt my scalp tingle when I looked at the screen! " Hearing Director Quentin''s praise, Muriel lowered her head shyly. Culbert walked close up to Muriel and asked with a smile, "Director, how about my performance?" "Culbert did a good job just now, making a pervert vivid." Director Quentin gave him a thumbs up. Hearing this, the crew standing around couldn''t helpughing. Culbert saw that everyone was busy with their own work and no one paid attention to him. He gently rubbed behind Muriel. Feeling Culbert''s movement, Muriel took a deep breath and let go of her phone. "Ah! My phone! " Muriel stepped back with a pale face and stepped hard on Culbert''s foot. "Ah!" The sharp pain in his toes made Culbert step back. Picking up the phone, Muriel looked at Culbert innocently and asked anxiously, "Mr. Yang, I''m sorry. Are you okay?" "It''s okay." Culbert stared at Muriel carefully. Judging from the worried look on Muriel''s face, she must have done it unintentionally. She didn''t mean to take revenge. The noise here was quite loud. Director Quentin walked quickly over and asked, "What''s wrong? Are you okay? " "Nothing serious." Culbert stretched his toes. Although it still hurt, it was not serious. "Let me treat everyone to dinner tonight. I''m sorry for beingte for so long." "Wow!" When the crew heard his invitation, they shouted excitedly. Culbert looked up at Muriel, "You can''t find an excuse not to go. You stepped on my foot just now. I can''t ept your apology and forgive you until we have dinner together." "Okay." Muriel smiled gracefully. Chapter 19 Let Teammates Down Chapter 19 Let Teammates Down In LX Private Restaurant, everyone was so hungry that their breasts were close to their backs. The waiter served a te of roasted pigs, and it was quickly slit into pieces by everyone with chopsticks. Muriel stretched out her chopsticks to pick up thest piece on the te, but a pair of chopsticks reached out from the side and caught Muriel''s chopsticks. Muriel loosened her chopsticks and turned to look at the cheeky Culbert, "You can have this, Mr. Yang." After saying that, Muriel turned her chopsticks to pick up other food into her bowl. Culbert picked up the meat and put it into Muriel''s bowl. He said in a strange tone, "This meat is for you. Look at your body. You are so thin. It''s good for your health. Women should be plump." After saying that, he stared at Muriel''s chest wantonly. Muriel looked at the meat in her bowl, which was stained with saliva from Culbert''s chopsticks, and suddenly lost her appetite. She raised her head and said to Director Quentin, "I''m going to the washroom. I''ll be back soon." "Okay." Director Quentin who was enjoying his drinks with deputy director answered without raising his head. Someone was drunk and slowly walked with his hand against the wall. When his hand was just against the door of the box, Muriel suddenly opened the door. The other party couldn''t react and fell into the box. Muriel quickly held the other party''s body. "Thank you." The man shook his head to sober himself up as much as possible. When he looked up and saw the person who held him, his eyes widened in disbelief. "Muriel..." Muriel recognized him, red at him and winked at the outside. The man immediately swallowed his unfinished words and looked at Muriel with a dull look in his eyes. "What''s wrong?" Culbert looked at the two standing at the door and asked in confusion. The man quickly reacted and waved his hand shyly. "Nothing. Thank you." After saying that, he staggered out first, and then Muriel also went out and closed the door of the box. The man went to the bathroom. Muriel went out of the restaurant and bought two boxes of stomach medicine. Then she went to the exit of the restaurant and saw that the man had been waiting here. "Captain! Why are you here? Why is your hair like this? " The man asked in a low voice despite his excitement. Looking at Muriel with short silver hair, the man bit the tip of his tongue. The pain spread all over his nerves, telling him that it was not a dream! Without answering him, Muriel threw the bag to him. The man took it and saw it was stomach medicine. He couldn''t help smiling brightly. "John Huang, why do you have topete to drink with others regardless of your stomach illness? Do you want to die? " Muriel snorted. John Huang scratched his head and said shyly, "It''s not easy for me to have a holiday and go home. My old friends invited me out for a drink." He looked up at Muriel in confusion, "Captain! Why are you here? " "I''m no longer your captain. I''m demobilized." Muriel looked at his confused look and sighed. "Captain, why did you suddenly leave the army? You were supposed to have a promising future... " "John Huang! I don''t want to talk about this with you anymore. Just take it as I''m tired of the army. " "How could it be possible?" John Huang said excitedly, Captain, didn''t you tell us that wearing that uniform is the most proud thing in your life! Why did you give up easily! This is not your style! " Lowering her head, Muriel didn''t know how to exin. She used to be an excellent disciple in the special force and became the team leader because of her extraordinary talents. Over the years, she had taken over countless tasks, big or small, but not long ago, her instructor had arranged her a task: be an undercover agent in the entertainment circle! The fewer people knew about her identity, the better. Therefore, except for Richard, the instructor and the intelligence department, no one knew that Muriel had retired to be an undercover, and even her father hadn''t been told. Everyone in the army only knew that the captain of the special forces had suddenly submitted an application for retirement in advance. Before people could figure out the reason, they found that she had already left the army, and this matter had be an unsolved mystery. "Wearing that uniform is indeed the most proud thing in my life, but I''m a woman and I''m tired. I don''t Original from N?velDrama.Org. want to stay in the army, so I retired. " Muriel walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "It''s not easy to have a holiday. Just have a good rest. Don''t drink too much and stay with your family more." John shook off Muriel''s hand and stepped back. He shook his head and murmured, "The captain I know is the one who told us to die on the battlefield! You, you are not the captain! " After that, he stumbled out of the room in disappointment. Looking at her right hand, Muriel stood there numbly. The phone in her pocket vibrated. Muriel picked it up and found it was a message from Richard. "Have you had dinner?" Was it fun to shoot on the set today? "Yes, it''s not fun." After sending the message, Muriel leaned against the wall and buried her head between her legs. The phone vibrated crazily. It was a call from Richard. "What''s wrong with you?" Richard asked worriedly. "Nothing." Muriel rubbed her swollen eyes and said in a nasal voice. Richard tightened his grip on the phone and asked gently, "Are you crying?" Hearing Richard''s voice, Muriel couldn''t hold back her tears anymore from dropping on the ground. She looked up at the ceiling with grievance. She hated herself to be coward. "What''s wrong, Muriel? I said that I would protect you for the rest of my life. If you are wronged by someone, just tell me. I don''t believe that I can''t kill him. " Richard said coldly. Muriel sniffed and grumbled, "Murder is illegal." "Ahem." Richard cleared his throat. Imagining the embarrassed look of Richard, Muriel burst into Hearing Muriel''sughter, Richard felt relieved and asked, "Tell me what has happened." Thinking of the disappointment in her teammate''s eyes, Muriel felt bad. Even though Richard had guessed that there was a mission for her to enter the entertainment circle, she still didn''t want to leak out anything about the army. Muriel rolled her eyes and said, "I was molested by a male actor on the set today!" Crack! Crack! Richard threw the cup on the ground. "What''s wrong with you?" With cold eyes, Richard said in a softer tone, "It doesn''t matter. A cat knocked over my cup." Standing aside, Secretary Chen looked at Richard who threw the me to a cat and admired his boss'' ability to lie. Muriel asked in surprise, "You have a cat? Don''t you hate pets the most? " "It doesn''t matter. Who is the male actor?" Richard said calmly, but the coldness in his eyes made people retreat. Chapter 20 An Anonymous Tip-off Chapter 20 An Anonymous Tip-off "It''s Culbert Yang." Muriel roughly told Richard what had happened on the set today. After that, she grounded her teeth and cursed, "This scumbag. I heard from other actors that he was married and his wife was an actress. The two of them are well-known model couples in the entertainment circle. I''m " "Let me take care of it." "It''s illegal to hurt people on purpose. You can''t do anything illegal." Muriel warned him again. Richard joked, "Well, I know. I''m a good citizen who abides by thew." After hanging up the phone, Richard looked at Secretary Chen who was waiting aside and said, "Immediately investigate Culbert Yang and collect all the evidence against him." "Yes, sir!" Muriel wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and went into the bathroom to wash her face. "Huh? Brother Culbert! " "Are you here for dinner too?" Culbert''s voice was clearly heard by Muriel. "Isn''t this branch newly opened? So I bring some girls here to have a taste." The man smiled obscenely and said, "Culbert, would you like to have a taste of... Hmm." "You brat, do you want me to taste the food or something else?" Culbert asked in a low voice. Noticing that something was wrong, Muriel sneaked outside the men''s room, pretending to wait for her friend to go to the bathroom, and yed with her mobile phone idly. The man touched Culbert and said with an evil smile, "Culbert, what else do you think we can taste?" "Okay, send two of them to the old ce. You are so loyal! " "Of course. This time, they have a perfect figure and appearance. It will definitely make you want to die. Ha ha! " Muriel had learned enough. She put her phone in her pocket and walked back to the box. "Muriel, why did it take you so long to go to the bathroom? Everyone is worried about you! " Director Quentin asked worriedly when he saw Muriel return to the room. Muriel picked up the medicine box in her hand and said apologetically, "I''m sorry, Directo. I just felt a little ufortable in my stomach, so I went to the pharmacy outside and bought a box of stomach medicine." "Ah, stomachache. Why didn''t you tell me earlier? I often shoot overtime, and forget it''s time for dinner. Health is the most important thing. Next time you must remind me!" Director Quentin said to the staff next to him. Muriel sat down and looked at the chicken in her bowl. She had no appetite at all. She ate a few dishes casually and put down her chopsticks. When Culbert returned to the box and saw that Muriel hade back, he immediately walked to sit next to her and poured the beer into her cup. "Muriel, go and propose a toast to Director Quentin." Muriel waved her hand and said, "Mr. Yang, I can''t drink." "What? Who can''t drink these days? Then you should drink more. Drink slowly, and you will be able to drink a lot in the future. " Culbert persuaded. "I really can''t drink." Muriel was about to put down the ss in her hand, but Culbert held Muriel''s hand to stop her. He even reached out his little finger to rub her palm. His palm was so big that no one could see that he was flirting with Muriel. They thought he was really persuading her to drink. Director Quentinughed and said, "Culbert, don''t persuade her to drink. She has just taken medicine because of stomachache." Culbert was stunned. Then he took the ss from her hand and said to Director Quentin, "Since Muriel can''t drink, I''ll propose a toast to you on behalf of her now." As soon as he finished his words, he leaned his mouth towards the edge of the cup where Muriel had touched with her mouth. He drank up the beer in one gulp and licked the edge of it disgustingly. Muriel noticed his action and felt disgusted. Her hand under the table quietly moved to the hem of Culbert''s shirt, and returned in less than a second. After drinking for a while, they left. Muriel''s shooting went well these days, so Director Quentin gave them a day off tomorrow to have a good rest. Culbert got in his assistant''s car and left. Muriel stopped a taxi and looked at the direction of Culbert''s departure. After thinking for a while, she named a ce and also left the restaurant. Muriel turned on her phone and pressed the button casually. A map appeared on the screen, on which a red dot kept moving. About half an hourter, the red dot stopped moving. "Please drive me to the Silver Moon Garden." "Oh, okay." Outside the Silver Moon Garden, Muriel walked around themunity and noticed a blind corner of the monitoring. She quickly climbed the wall and jumped in. Looking at the red dot on the screen, Muriel guessed that the duplex apartment not far away belonged to Culbert. Only the room on the east side of the second floor was light, and the rest of the building was dark. This house should be bought by Culbert for him to have fun. No one else should be here except him. Muriel climbed along the pipe, grabbed the handrail beside and gentlynded on the balcony. She ran to the door, opened a crack and quietly looked at the two floors. No one was there. The sound of making out came from the bright room next door. After hearing the sound of Culbert, Muriel immediately left the room, climbed over the wall and jumped out of the Original from N?velDrama.Org. Muriel found a public telephone booth and pressed 110. The phone was quickly put through, "Hello, I want to report Culbert Yang for being engaged in prostitution..." When the security guard of Silver Moon Garden saw the police caring in, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Hello, sir. What can I do for you?" "We are here to investigate something. Please cooperate." A policeman got out of the car and walked to the security guard for investigation. The police car drove to the duplex apartment ording to the anonymous tip-off. "Knock, knock, knock." The woman on the bed listened carefully and said uncertainly, "It seems that someone is knocking at the door." Another woman held Culbert nervously and said, "Who will knock at the door in the middle of the night? Not... Not a ghost? " Hearing this, Culbert burst intoughter. He kissed the woman and said with an evil smile, "There is no ghost in the world at all. If there is, there is only one ghost." "What sort of ghost?" The woman asked curiously. "Ha ha, of course it''s a lecher ghost. What else can it be?" Culbert continued making out with the two women. The knock on the door became heavier and heavier. The woman pushed Culbert and said, "Culbert, you''d better go downstairs and see who is knocking." Culbert thought for a while and went downstairs in a bathrobe, "Who is it! It''s sote at night. Are you going to die? " Hearing the sound from the room, the policemen at the door immediately ced the security guard in front of the door, while they hid on both sides of the door. It was the first time that the security guard had met such a scene. He was so scared that he said in a trembling voice, "Property management." Chapter 21 Administrative Detention Chapter 21 Administrative Detention Why did the property managemente here in the middle of the night? Culbert squinted at the peephole and saw a security guard standing outside. Culbert opened the door and frowned, "What are you doing?" The policemen hiding on both sides immediately stood out and showed their police cards to Culbert. "Mr. Yang. We are policemen from the Public Security Bureau of the Capital City. You are under investigation ording to an anonymous tip-off." "Me? Are you mistaken? " Culbert''s face darkened. "Let''s go inside and have a talk. After all, you''re a public figure. It''s not good for you if others see it." Culbert didn''t answer the policeman''s question. He covered his face with his hands and sighed helplessly. He knew he was doomed. Muriel hid nearby. After a period of time, she saw with her own eyes that Culbert was taken away by the police, and then Muriel left this ce. She went back to the dormitory. She was thirsty. She opened the kettle and found that there was no water left. It would take some time to boil some water. Muriel stepped forward and put her hand on the tap. She was going to drink the raw water directly. She had drunk stream water when she was training, not to mention raw water. However, at this moment, Richard''s worried face appeared in her mind. If Richard knew that she drank raw water from the tap, he would definitely me her. After hesitating for a while, she turned around, picked up the kettle and connected it to the power supply. Sitting aside, she looked at the kettle and smiled, "What''s wrong with me?" In the building of XR Group, Victor took a look at Richard, who was still working, and then looked at his watch. He cleared his throat and said, "Sir... It''s gettingte. Don''t you get off work? " Richard nced at the lower right corner of theputer screen and continued to read the documents. "I have something to deal with. You can get off work first." Hearing the order that he could get off work, Victor raised his eyebrows and bowed happily. "Okay, I''m off work now." Victor couldn''t wait to leave the chairman''s office and carefully closed the door. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My holy mom, finally off duty." When the patrol guard passed by and saw Victor, he couldn''t helpughing. "You are not off duty yet?" "Well, well, I''m going home now." "It''s so hard for you to have such a boss!" The security guard lowered his voice and asked curiously, "You are so busy every day. How much is your sry for a month? Have you saved enough? " When it came to sry, David immediately felt refreshed. He raised his head, straightened his chest and nodded with a smile. "I''ve already saved enough money. I''ve signed a confidential agreement on my sry. I can''t tell you." "What? ''a secret agreement?''? You can''t tell others your sry? Really? Why didn''t I see this in the contract? " The security guard looked at Victor suspiciously, "Are you lying to me?" "Why should I lie to you?" Victor shook his head and said, "No, I have to find a ce to have midnight snack." After Victor and the security guard left, the top floor of XR Group fell into silence again. After a long time, Richard finally finished dealing with all the documents. He opened the drawer and put something in it. When he saw a covered photo. Richard''s tired eyebrows rxed at once. He reached out and picked up the photo, looking at the woman in the photo with infinite tenderness in his eyes. After a while, he picked up his phone and wanted to call the person in the photo. But it waste now and Richard didn''t want to disturb her rest, so he had to put down his phone. Richard gently put the photo in the drawer, as if it was a treasure, unwilling to wrinkle it. Carrying his briefcase, Richard took the exclusive elevator downstairs. He didn''t expect that the elevator would stop at the tenth floor. The elevator door opened and a female employee in uniform was very happy. Soon, a sad expression appeared on her face again. She said anxiously, "I''m sorry, Boss. I didn''t mean to press your exclusive elevator. I''m not feeling well and want to go to the hospital to have a look. The other two elevators haven''t arrived yet, so I stopped this one. Can I... " Richard said indifferently, "Come in." With the permission of Richard, the woman immediately entered the exclusive elevator for the chairman. She covered her stomach with her hand and looked at the mysterious elevator curiously. The decoration of the elevator waspletely different from that of the employees. She withdrew her sight and pretended to groan in pain. Richard stood aside calmly and didn''t even look at her. The woman was not reconciled. She did not expect that Richard would be so indifferent. It was herst chance when the elevator arrived at the first floor. The woman weakly bowed to Richard and thanked him. As soon as she walked out, she immediately fell on Richard. Richard, who had been motionless all the time, finally moved. Instead of supporting the falling woman, he took a step forward. The woman didn''t lean against Richard, and her head directly hit the elevator with a dull thud. The security guards on duty in the lobby of the first floor ran over as soon as they heard the noise. When they saw Richard and a strange woman in the same elevator, they looked at each other, as if they were doomed to bump into the chairman''s secret by ident. The captain of security guards was calm. He frowned and asked, "Mr. Xu, what''s wrong?" "This employee said that she was not feeling well and wanted to take my elevator. Now she hit the elevator because of her weakness." Richard said coldly, "Take her to the hospital to see if she is ufortable. Besides, check the surveince video to see if she really can''t wait for other elevators. Then, check if this elevator is damaged by her head. Sort out the repair list and give it to me tomorrow." Hearing Richard''s series of orders, the woman who leaned against the elevator looked very pale. She swallowed and said, "Mr. Xu, I didn''t..." They were not surprised at all that some woman wanted to create an encounter with Richard on purpose. Seeing the impatience on his face, several security guards hurriedly helped the woman out This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. and sent her to the hospital. The elevator door closed again. Richard went to the underground parking lot and drove home. The next day, someone heard that Culbert was arrested and immediately exposed it on micro-blog. The capital police also released a notice to confirm this matter. In an instant, the news spread wildly. As soon as the news came out, in order to save Culbert''s public image, his agency apologized to the public. Director Quentin was furious when he saw the news. He walked on the set and scolded, "Yesterday afternoon, you were still ying a best actor. Today, such news came out. What a scum!" "Director Quentin, what should we do now? The scene of Mr. ck just started shooting. " The deputy director asked anxiously. Yesterday was the first day Culbert joined the cast, and he didn''t shoot much at all. Now that Culbert was detained for fifteen days, the shooting progress was dyed. Chapter 22 An Emergency Meeting Chapter 22 An Emergency Meeting Director Quentin poured a cup of tea into his mouth to put out the mes in his heart. He had nned to take a sip of the hot tea to cool himself down, but it was so hot that he shivered. "Are you okay?" The deputy director asked anxiously. "I''m fine." Director Quentin took a bottle of cold water and drank it slowly. He thought for a while and said, "Gather all the deputy directors, executive directors, casting directors, scriptwriters and producers to have a meeting. Let''s discuss what to do next. " "Okay, I''ll contact them now." In the meeting room of "Storm", everyone was sitting upright and grim. Some closed their eyes and smoked one cigarette after another, some constantly flipped through the script, and some quickly slid on the mobile screen with their fingertips. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were very upset and uneasy now. "I''m sorry, Director Quentin. I''mte. There''s a heavy traffic jam on the road." The scriptwriter ran into the meeting room, out of breath. Director Quentin waved his hand and motioned the scriptwriter toe in. He sat on the main seat, looked at the people sitting on both sides and sighed, "Everyone knows why I asked you to have an emergency meeting. I didn''t expect that Culbert, a yboy, was arrested for prostitution. Now let''s discuss what to do." "How is the shooting going now?" The producer asked. "We mainly took the shots of Lindy. Yesterday, Culbert just joined the cast, so his scenes hadn''t been shot much." The deputy director exined. "Culbert is so notorious now. Can we still use him?" The scriptwriter asked in confusion. The casting director said, "Culbert used to y a good man in TV dramas, and recently he won a best actor, so he has umted a lot of fans and poprity. If we give the role to another actor, won''t the public think that we add insult to injury? " "What are you talking about? Who the hell is he? Best actor? Only his agency has the nerve to publicize that meaningless award." Director Quentin scolded angrily. The executive director also said with dissatisfaction, "I heard that he was detained for fifteen days and received education for six months. How can we wait for him for six months? We can''t even wait for a month. One more day means more money. " At the mention of the money, the producer''s face darkened. He pounded on the table and said, "Change another actor. We can''t wait!" "Then who else? Who to y the role of Mr. ck? " The executive director flipped through the address book and asked, "How about Bryan He?" "His schedule is full recently, so he can''t spare time at all." "Then, how about Ken Xing?" "No, he can''t. His temperament is not in line with this role. He has left a deep impression ofedian on the audience. The audience wouldn''t ept him as a gangster." They listed a lot of people one by one. Either the schedule was too tight to arrange, or the character''s temperament was too far from the script, or the acting skill was not satisfied. For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely low. No one could think of anyone else suitable for this Mr. ck. They could only constantly check the address book or search online to see if there was any new actors suitable for this role recently. The scriptwriter scratched his hair irritably and roared, "Who else can y the cruel and merciless old man? It''s so annoying!" Director Quentin suddenly came up with an idea. He said to the deputy director excitedly, "Hurry up and bring the shots we took yesterday. Hurry up." "What''s wrong?" The deputy director asked in confusion. "Don''t ask so many questions. Go and get it." The director rushed back to his office and fetched theputer. "Director Quentin, do you have a good candidate?" The producer asked. Director Quentin nodded and smiled, "I think our eyesight is limited. Who says that Mr. ck can only be a man?" "Not a man? Is it a woman? " The scriptwriter was puzzled. "If it''s difficult to find a suitable male actor, it would be more difficult to find a suitable actress to y Mr. ck." The producer shook his head and said. The casting director got an idea and pped his hands. "Oh! Director Quentin, do you mean Muriel? " "Muriel? The one who had a fight with Sunny? " The producer turned to the director and asked. "It''s her. It''s not a big deal. Anyway, she was framed by Sunny. A good candidate was almost killed. Fortunately, the surveince video proved her innocence. " "Is she good at acting?" Although the producer had seen the posters, he had never seen Muriel acting, so he doubted it. But when he saw the excitement on Director Quentin''s face, he was looking forward to it. To everyone''s surprise, the director turned off the light in the meeting room and connected the This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Mr. ck, we have agreed that we are here to discuss. You don''t give us any room for negotiation! Your territory is muchrger than mine. " "I just like these ces." The man pointed at James and cursed, "are you fucking going too far?" "Bang!" Suddenly, a harsh gunshot sounded, and everyone was frightened to look up immediately. The sound of footsteps slowly came from the entrance of the warehouse. The light was dim, and no one could see each other clearly. This was the group act of yesterday, with a total of several versions. Although the editing director had just made a rough montage, everyone was quickly attracted by the performance. The scriptwriter was getting more and more excited. She looked at the arrogant woman on the screen, and a thought popped up in her mind. She hurriedly recorded the scenes that popped out of her mind on the notebook. Director Quentin yed all the versions, and the meeting room became bright again. "This is..." Before the producer could finish his words, the scriptwriter pped her hand on the conference table and stood up excitedly, shouting, "Muriel will be the Mr. ck!" Director Quentin looked at the scriptwriter''s ecstatic face and couldn''t helpughing, "Isn''t she good? The strength, the murderous will, she is really... Perfect. " Director Quentin was so embarrassed that he got goose bumps just now. "Is this a new actress? Did she do all the actions by herself? No substitute? " The producer swallowed and stared at Director Quentin with his eyes wide open. Quentin Qi nodded and said, "Yes, she used to be a martial artist. I saw this treasure when I visited Hudson''s shooting that day. Then I asked her to be Lindy''s substitute and give her a small role by the way. I didn''t expect that, hahaha, otherwise we couldn''t reach an agreement until early in the morning. " The deputy director asked, "But Mr. ck in the script is a man!" "Yes. Do you want Muriel to act the role as a man? Although Muriel''s breasts are not big enough, at least B cup is still there. " Chapter 23 Rewrite The Script Chapter 23 Rewrite The Script "Ahem." Hearing the scriptwriter''s words, Director Quentin choked on his tea. The scriptwriter chuckled, "As Director Quentin just said, we should not be narrow minded. The situation is different now. We should think out of the box." "What do you mean?" "Although the leading antagonist of my script is Mr. ck and he is a man, We can also change it to a female role. No one says that a woman can''t be an antagonist. Look, so many leaders in the world are women now, and women are also very powerful. " The scriptwriter exined. "So the setting is going to be changed?" The scriptwriter didn''t answer the producer''s question. She turned to Director Quentin and said, "Director, I have had a lot of inspirations after seeing Muriel''s performance. Can you give me one more day? I''ll write the outline of the script and send it to you in one day! " "Are you going to make some big changes? No, we can''t. the crew can''t wait for so many days. " The producer strongly opposed, "It''s better to let Muriel y the role of Mr. ck directly, so that time won''t be so short." Director Quentin shook his head and exined, "Although Muriel is a neer, her acting was professional. Almost all the scenes have been done in one shot, and only a few emotional scenes have to be shot two or three times, but on the whole, the progress is not slow, but faster." "But we are also short of money. We will give you a day to write the outline. Once the outline is changed, you have to change the script, right? You can''t finish the script in one day, can you? As long as I give you a few days, the progress of the shooting will be dyed. The actors have their own schedules. Are you sure that the schedules of Lindy and Crystal can match us? Do you know how much I will spend on this project? " The producer grumbled without gasping, and everyone''s heart sank. The scriptwriter lowered her head, wiped her tears and sobbed, "I just want to write a y that I''m satisfied with. I don''t want to be so perfunctory." "Don''t cry. It''s not perfunctory. Your script is still the same as before. It''s just that Muriel ys the role of Mr. ck." The scriptwriter shook her head and said, "It''s different. In the y, Mr. ck is more than forty years old, and Ms. Leopard is in her early twenties. Her age and makeup are not fit that role." "In that case, we''d better find another suitable actor to y Mr. ck." Everyone thought that they had reached an agreement, but they didn''t expect that they would soon returned to where they had been. They had contemted hard just now, but they couldn''t think of a suitable person. At this time, Director Quentin''s phone rang. He didn''t want to answer it, but it was from the agency. He made a gesture to stop the meeting and walked out of the meeting room to answer the phone. In the meeting room, everyone was irritably browsing micro-blogs. The scriptwriter took a look at the producer, bit her lower lip, and began to write on the notebook, unwilling to give up. The plots in her mind were like a steady stream of water, constantly emerging. After a while, Director Quentin pushed the door open and said excitedly, "That''s great! We are saved!" "What''s wrong?" Everyone craned their necks and asked curiously. "The XR Group has acquired the Times Culture before. Their first investment to the entertainment circle has been contributed to Storm!" "What? XR Group invested in Storm? " The producer asked excitedly. "Yes! My agent called me just now. " Director Quentin looked at the producer and said, "Now with XR Group''s investment, it doesn''t matter if we dy for a few days. I think Muriel is a good actress. I also trust our scriptwriter very much. I''m looking forward to her new script. Let''s wait and see, okay? " The producer didn''t immediately answer Director Quentin''s question. He asked curiously, "How much does XR Group invest?" "I heard from my assistant that XR Group is very optimistic about our Storm. They are willing to offer this number." Director Quentin made a gesture. The producer asked uncertainly, "Ten million?" Director Quentin shook his head. The producer asked in surprise, "Really? Only one million? It will only Director Quentinughed and shook his head. The producer looked at him in a daze and stammered, "One, one hundred million?" "One hundred million? So generous? " The deputy director looked at Director Quentin excitedly. The producer was so excited that his eyes turned red. "Are you kidding? A hundred million? This is a police movie, not a science fiction movie! Are you sure you didn''t hear it wrong? " "XR Group is willing to offer one hundred million. They will send someone to discuss the details tomorrow. Anyway, one hundred million won''t run away." Director Quentin''s hanging heart was finally relieved. He looked at the producer and said, "Can you agree with Miss Zhu to change the script this time?" Then everyone turned to look at the scriptwriter, only to see herpletely immersed in writing on the notebook. Seeing that the scriptwriter was very devoted, the producer nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I''m looking forward to the new script." On that day, the Storm officially issued a statement and said that it decided to remove Culbert Yang from the cast. However, another TV series that Culbert was still shooting imed that it wouldn''t change the actor. The two officials had two different attitudes, which immediately caused a hot discussion among theizens. Many marketing bloggers posted on micro-blog, "After Culbert''s ident, everyone hit him when he was down. Only the crew of this y said that they could wait for Culbert. It''s really a loyal thing. We must watch this y!" "Something happened to Culbert, so the shooting of this y has been suspended. It can be said that Culbert is actually a very good actor, but he is sentenced to six months for prostitution. I hope the crew can hold on. " "In this y, the role yed by Culbert is called"Wang Shun ". He fell in love with Hu Min yed by N?velDrama.Org ? content. Rose at the first sight, so the two of them performed a desperate love. They had gone through too many setbacks, and finally had a happy ending." "I rmend everyone to pay attention to this y, because the crew of this y is loyal, and the actors are rtively famous. Moreover, I think Culbert and Rose Qin have made an unprecedented breakthrough in this y, which must be a good y to look forward to! Don''t miss it. " These bloggers seemed to have made an agreement. They forwarded that the Storm crew were inhuman. Manyizens thought that they were right, so they ran to the Storm official ount to add cursingments. "They are hypocrites!" "How could you change the actor at such a critical moment? The Storm crew are so disgusting. He has been miserable enough, but you still add salt to the wounds." "This crew is really LOW! When Culbert was best actor, they eagerly invited him there. Now that others are in trouble, why don''t you help them? " Chapter 24 New Script Chapter 24 New Script "Some people''sments are really ridiculous. Culbertmitted crime by himself and was arrested. How could he me it on the film crew? Did the crew force him to engage in prostitution? At the thought of the model couple in the entertainment circle, I can''t helpughing. " "Some keyboard men are really good at talking. Do you want everyone in the crew to wait for Culbert for six months? Who could afford to wait? Will you pay for the filming? Do you know how much it will cost for the crew to wait for him? " "Well, then why can the other film crew wait for Culbert? In other words, I think Culbert has stains in his background, so his contract was terminated " "Well, you don''t know what happened, do you! Culbert has already finished the shooting in that crew. That crew said that they were willing to wait for six months on purpose because the TV series would be broadcast at that time. Now they are deliberately increasing publicity. " A picture was attached. The picture was posted by Culbert on micro-blog to celebrate cranking up, and now this picture had been officially deleted. No matter how hard they searched in the film crew''s micro-blogs, they couldn''t see it. Fortunately, there were some onlookers saved it at first. Originally, manyizens who were filled with righteous indignation were about to curse the Storm. Seeing the tearingments, they immediately understood the action of the Storm changing actors. "There are so many negativements about him. Don''t wash his dirty hands in vain. Rumormongers couldn''t prove his innocence." In Culbert''s agentpany, when the agent saw thements on the Inte, he had a headache. The assistant asked anxiously, "What should we do? Now theizens are cursing Culbert. It seems that the online rumormongers we hired don''t work well. " The agent looked at the assistant and asked, "What did Miss May say? Is she willing to apologize for Culbert in the public? " The assistant shook her head with a straight face and said, "Miss May was so angry when she heard the news. She is still in the hospital. Miss May didn''t want to apologize. She said she didn''t do anything wrong and it was only Culbert''s fault. Why should she go to the press conference with a big pregnant belly to apologize. She... She said she wanted to divorce Culbert. " "Well, I''ll think about it again. If there''s nothing else, you can go downstairs." The agent waved his hand impatiently to let the assistant leave. On the Storm film set, Director Quentin asked the mic-blog editor, "How are thements on the Inte now?" "Theizens are very rational now. Most of them are on our side and quarrel with rumormongers in thements." Director Quentin read thements on a few pages and smiled helplessly, "These children are so powerful now. I''m old and can''t understand theseworknguage." "Director Quentin, you are not old at all. You look only forty years old. As the saying goes, a man in his forties is a blooming flower." The manager beside them joked. Director Quentin was amused by them andughed, "Okay, okay. You guys are so sweet." "Bang!" The door of the meeting room was immediately pushed open. The loud noise made everyone look back at the same time. The scriptwriter with dirty hair, gaunt face and bloodshot eyes strode towards Director Quentin with a pile of things in her arms. Before Director Quentin could figure out what was going on, she immediately said, "This is the outline and the new script. You can discuss with me tomorrow after reading it. I just want to have a good sleep now." Then she turned around and staggered back to the meeting room. The door was not closed and she fell asleep on the sofa. Director Quentin flipped through the script with a smile. The scriptwriter overturned almost all her original arrangements. The new script was about a police couple who adopted a girl because they couldn''t get pregnant. After a year, the police couple gave birth to a girl, and the four of them lived happily together. One day, the eldest daughter was knocked out and carried away by the human smugglers on her way back from school. The youngest daughter was very sad when she found that her sister was missing. The couple kept looking for clues, but to no avail. A few yearster, the police couple were killed by gangsters because they were fighting against pornography and illegal business, leaving their little daughter alone. When her youngest daughter, Tessa, grew up, she became a policewoman. She continued to fulfill her parents'' mission and maintain social security. Tessa was almost injured by hooligans through her missions, but was saved by a female leader of the underworld, Ms. Leopard. Gradually, Tessa appreciated Ms. Leopard''s character and became friends with her. Tessa persuaded Ms. Leopard to change her mind and do a legal business, but she didn''t give her a direct answer. On a patrol, she found that Ms. Leopard had killed a person cruelly. She was so disappointed that she broke up with her and said that she would bring her to justice next time she saw her. In an ident, Tessa found the gang that killed her parents. She followed the leader of the gang and found that they were drug dealing. When she was about to ask for support from her superior to kill them all, the gang found her whereabouts. Although she was good at martial arts, there were many gangsters and she was captured easily. At this time, Ms. Leopard rushed in with a group of men and fought with the gangsters. It was a fatal fight, causing many people dead and another many wounded. In the end, Ms. Leopard was shot to death for blocking a bullet for Tessa. Tessa found that Ms. Leopard was adopted by her parents and her favorite sister in her childhood. Before she could feel the joy of family reunion, she was once again separated from her family in a different way. Director Quentin''s eyes lit up as he read through the script. "This script is good. Although it''s a little bloody, the two characters are both full of personality. The final ending can make the audience in the N?velDrama.Org ? content. cinema shed a lot of tears!" Director Quentin hurriedly contacted the producer and the deputy directors and sent the copy of the script to everyone. "What do you think of the script?" "I think it''s better than the one before." The producer nodded and said. After reading the script, the whole crew agreed to start the new script. In the dormitory, Muriel was lying on the bed and texting Richard. Since she came back to the capital city, the two had maintained contact no matter how busy they were. Sitting on the sofa, her assistant Lydia yed with her mobile phone and peeked at Muriel She rolled her eyes and asked casually, "Muriel, what are you doing?" "I''m ying with my phone." Muriel said slowly, keeping her eyes on the phone. Lydia scratched her head and continued to ask, "What are you ying with your phone for?" "I just want to y some games for fun." Muriel clicked on the message and lied indifferently. "Okay." Lydia lowered her eyes and Muriel nced at her out of the corner of her eye. Muriel rubbed her ufortable stomach, threw her phone on the bed and went to the bathroom. Lydia looked at the closed door of the bathroom. She tiptoed to the bed and reached for Muriel''s phone. Chapter 25 Peeping At The Phone Chapter 25 Peeping At The Phone She pressed the home button, and the screen lit up. It showed that she could only unlock it after entering the password. Lydia bit her lips and thought for a while. "Bang!" The door of the bathroom was opened. Lydia was taken aback. She bit her lips by ident and bled. She had no energy to care about the broken corners of her mouth now. Lydia threw Muriel''s phone on the bed in a hurry and asked nervously, "What''s wrong?" "Lydia, help me take a tampon from the drawer please. I was wondering why my stomach was not feeling well. It turned out that my period was here. " Muriel''s helpless voice came from the bathroom. Lydia patted her chest and hurriedly opened the drawer to look for it. Behind the door of the toilet, Muriel was so nervous that she almost burst intoughter when she heard Lydia''s voice. She covered her mouth and chuckled. Hearing the footsteps of Lydia, Muriel stretched out her hand from the crack of the door, took the tampon and closed the door. Lydia tiptoed to the bedside, picked up Muriel''s phone, thought for a while and input Muriel''s birthday into it. She unlocked it sessfully! Lydia couldn''t help but feelcent in her heart. She really didn''t expect that the password was set so easily. She hurriedly looked through the messages, only to find that she, Catherine and the director were discussing business. Without seeing what she wanted, she began to check her WeChat. But she couldn''t find any WeChat after she checked the APP in Muriel''s phone. Lydia nervously nced at the bathroom door and continued to look through the micro-blogs. They were all very normal, or even too normal! Lydia felt that Muriel was about toe out, so she put her phone on the bed in a hurry. She continued to sit on the sofa, and yed games on her phone. Muriel opened the bathroom door and came out. She nced at the phone on the bed naturally. She looked up at Lydia and said with a cold smile, "Thank you." "Uh... You''re wee. " Lydia didn''t know if it was because she had a guilty conscience. She felt that Muriel''s smile looked ironic. Lying on the bed, Muriel picked up her phone and unlocked the screen. If Lydia had seen it with her own eyes, she would have asked in surprise why the password she had entered was different from the one that was entered by Muriel, but it had been unlocked sessfully. In fact, this is a fake lock made by Muriel herself. No matter what password you input, you can unlock it sessfully. However, next, Muriel needed to press the home key with her thumb to verify her fingerprints. If there was no fingerprints or if the fingerprints couldn''t be verified, the front facing camera would automatically take the photos of the person who took the mobile phone and send them to Muriel''s personal SkyDrive. After checking the fingerprints, Muriel logged in the SkyDrive and saw a selfie of Lydia. Muriel couldn''t help but snort in her heart. She clicked on the text and typed a few words: I just found a mouse. What should I do? She sent the message and then deleted it. When Richard listened to Secretary Chen''s report, his phone vibrated. He opened it and interrupted her in confusion, "What should we do with the mouse?" "What?" Secretary Chen asked in a daze. He almost doubted his ears. "What should we do with the mouse?" The omnipotent Secretary Chen searched the information in his mind and said, "Mouse catcher, mouse sticker, rat killer, or a cat that can catch mice." Richard sent all the methods that Secretary Chen had said to Muriel. The ignored Secretary Chen couldn''t help butin in his heart, ''Investing one hundred million to Storm! This is a one hundred million project!'' One hundred million is even less important than a mouse. I really don''t understand the world of the rich. "Is there any good buildings near the entertainment base?" Secretary Chen picked up the tablet and checked, "The Hillside Garden nearby is not bad." "I''ll take a look at these materialster. Now purchase a low floor with good light and arge room." Richard told Secretary Chen what he wanted. Secretary Chen nodded and immediately drove to buy a house for his boss. After receiving the message from Richard, Muriel was so happy that she rolled over on the bed. Another message came. Richard said, "What dormitory is the crew arranged for you? There was even a mouse. It was so bad. I''ve bought a suite in the Hillside Garden near your shooting site. I''ll ask my secretary to send the key to youter and you can move in." "Are buying a house as soon as possible because I''m afraid of rats?" "No, I''ve already bought it." Another one was lying. After reading the address sent by Richard, Muriel logged in the website quickly. She found that the suite bought by Richard was still on sale online today. Muriel refreshed it again and the information was immediately cancelled. Muriel felt warm in her heart. She was so lucky to meet such a good friend in her previous life. Muriel knew that it was a white lie of Richard. She didn''t want to expose it, so she replied, "I was just kidding. I''m not talking about the mouse. The filming site was clean without mice. I''d better live in the dormitory now. Living in the Hillside Garden is too high-profile. I''m afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of my assistant and agent. I appreciate your kindness! " "Then be careful and remember to have a good meal. I''ll ask Secretary Chen to send you the soup every day and you should drink it well and have a good stomach." "Okay, I know. You are so kind to me. If my future sister-inw knows it, she will be jealous." When Richard saw the message, he was stunned. He thought he had expressed everything clearly, but he didn''t expect that Muriel didn''t notice it at all. Richard rubbed his temples and sighed. "Muriel, what''s your WeChat number? I''ll friend you." Lydia asked, regaining her nervous heartbeat. "WeChat? I don''t have WeChat. " Muriel shook her head and said Lydia looked at Muriel in surprise. Judging from the confused look on Muriel''s face, she guessed that she wasn''t lying. She didn''t expect that there would be someone who didn''t have a WeChat in the twenty-first Century. "How about I help you register a WeChat ount?" "Why need I register WeChat? Just text me if you need anything. " Seeing the firm expression on Muriel''s face, Lydia had to give up. She took a stealthy nce at Muriel This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. and found that she was focusing on ying with her mobile phone. She texted Catherine and said, "Muriel doesn''t have WeChat, and she doesn''t find anything abnormal with her mobile phone. There are no ambiguous messages or nude photos. But for several times, I felt that she was chatting with someone else, but I didn''t see any chatting records except for business. It was very suspicious. Muriel might be on guard against us all the time! " Chapter 26 Call Log Chapter 26 Call Log After receiving the message, Catherine finished her work and drove to the dormitory of the crew. "Knock, knock, knock." Someone knocked on the door. Lying on the bed, Muriel didn''t want to move. So she demanded, "Lydia, open the door please." Lydia walked over and opened the door. When she saw Catherine standing outside, she bowed respectfully and greeted, "Hi, Ms. Catherine." "Hi." Catherine replied coldly. She bypassed Lydia and walked straight to the bedside of Muriel. She reached out her hand to Muriel and said, "Give me your phone." "What?" Muriel looked away from the phone and saw Catherine looking at her expressionlessly. Out of the corner of Catherine''s eye, she observed whether Muriel''s fingers pressed the screen or not. Since she had no patience to answer Muriel''s question, she directly stepped forward and grabbed the phone from her hand. Lydia saw at Muriel wearing a faint smile on her face, not sure about whether she was happy or angry. Catherine took over Muriel''s phone and saw that she was ying some music game. She quit the game and examined her phone. There was no inappropriate content in the message, and the photo album was normal or abnormal. Normally, there were no indecent pictures in the album. But strangely, there were no selfies, no gourmet photos, no clothes or bags photos. Catherine scrolled to the cloud photo album, but there was nothing in it. She stretched out her finger and dragged down the empty cloud album. The screen suddenly jumped, showing: please set the password of the private album. It seemed that Muriel didn''t find a private photo album in her mobile phone. There should be no problem with her photo album. Catherine thought to herself. Catherine also checked the private file in the document management application, but didn''t find anything unusual. Catherine threw the phone on the bed, nced at Muriel who was already sitting up and turned to Lydia, "Give me her bag." Lydia looked at Muriel with fear first and then handed her bag to Catherine obediently. Muriel put away her phone and looked at Catherine, who was searching for something inside her bag. She would like to see what Catherine intended to find here. Catherine put down the bag, looked sharply at Muriel and asked, "I have let the telmunication "Why do you ask this?" Muriel asked with a smile. "I need to know everything about you. This will decide whether I will give you my full support or not. I don''t want to give my support to people who I can''t trustpletely." Catherine said bluntly. With a smile on her face, Muriel thought for a while and told Catherine a phone number. Catherine wrote down the phone number and called somebody, "Hello, please help me check a phone number and send me the call log of the past two years. " After the phone call, Catherine waited for the result. Without saying a word, Muriel picked up the phone and continued to y with the games. Looking at the two people who were so calm, Lydia quietly tried to minimize her sense of existence. Just now, when she wantonly flipped through her things, Muriel had always been quiet, polite and calm. She was a good youngster worth cultivating. Soon, Catherine received a message from her friend on WeChat. The owner of this phone number was indeed Muriel. it had been used for several years, but the call logs were short. She could count it with one hand. Confused, Catherine looked at Muriel and asked, "Why do you have so few call logs?" "I don''t need to call anyone either." Muriel shrugged innocently. "Uh... Why don''t you call your friends? " "I don''t have friends." Catherine continued, "Why don''t you call your parents?" "Puff!" Muriel burst intoughter, "Ms. Catherine, I seem to have told you that my parents have passed away for many years." Catherine was stunned, lowered her eyes and said, "Sorry, it escaped my mind." "Look into my eyes." Catherine looked straight into Muriel''s eyes and asked, "Do you really have no N?velDrama.Org owns this. boyfriend, no marriage, no illegitimate child?" "I really don''t have a boyfriend, I''m not married, I really don''t have an illegitimate child!" Muriel answered calmly. "Okay, I believe you this time." "Ring, ring, ring." Catherine''s phone rang. She was a little surprised when she answered it. "Okay, I''ll convey it to Muriel. I''ll ask my assistant to get the scriptter. Thank you." After hanging up the phone, Catherine looked at Muriel in disbelief and said, "You''re lucky. Director Quentin wanted you to y the leading role of Storm." "What? Isn''t that Culbert''s role? " Catherine exined, "Culbert needs to receive education for six months. The crew won''t wait for him, so they have to change the actor. Now the staff of Storm told me that the script has been revised. Everyone agreed that you are suitable to y the leading role, and the contract will be signed again, and the pay will be five times the previous one. " Some actors had been in the entertainment circle for several years, but still could only y small roles in various crews. However, Muriel ascended from a stand-in to a leading actor with a blink of an eye. This was rare and incredible. Not everyone could have such good luck. Catherine was more and more confident that she could make Muriel a star! Lindy, who just finished an interview with a fashion magazine, took the water from her assistant''s hand and took a sip slowly. Her assistant, Jesse, handed the script to her excitedly and said, "Lindy, this is the new script of Storm." "A new script?" "Well, Culbert has been arrested, which haspletely affected the shooting progress. XR Group invested in this movie, so the director simply asked the scriptwriter to change the script. And Muriel yed the leading antagonist. Cool... " Seeing the gaze from Lindy, she shut up with a guilty conscience. "Are you my assistant or Muriel''s assistant?" Lindy sat in her resting van unhappily. She was disgusted at the thought that Muriel would be her acting partner in this y. "That''s awesome. The mastermind behind Muriel is really capable. As soon as something happened to Culbert, she was rmended immediately. Humph!" Lindy put the script aside and was not in the mood to read it. Noticing the expression on Lindy''s face, The assistant exined for Muriel, "Lindy, it''s said that Muriel''s role was approved by the director, scriptwriter and producer at the meeting. Since everyone thinks that this role is suitable for Muriel, she shouldn''t have bribed anyone to y this role." Besides, Director Quentin is famous for his sternness in the entertainment circle. Nobody dares to arrange such an important role casually. I heard that the new script is very interesting. Do you want to read it first? " Seeing that Lindy''s face returned calm, the assistant breathed a sigh of relief. Chapter 27 Forced Blind Date Chapter 27 Forced Blind Date Sitting in the resting van, Lindy thought for a while and picked up the script to read. It was rush hour, and the road in the downtown was blocked tightly. Lindy had plenty of time to read the script. Seeing that she was so focused, her assistant Yumi didn''t disturb her and quietly browsed the micro-blogs. Catherine took Muriel to the shopping mall to buy clothes. She was a star now, so she couldn''t wear casual clothes. She had to build her own image. Muriel was wearing casual clothes, sunsses and mask, which covered most of her face and was hard to be recognized. Suddenly, a familiar and old figure came into her sight. She frowned and turned around naturally. The old man behind her looked at the back of Muriel''s head discontentedly and said to the person next to him, "Nowadays the youngsters are absurd. Why do you dye your hair into silver? They are out of their mind." The man could only give a wry smile. Muriel didn''t turn back until the old man walked away. She looked at his back with deep eyes. What happened two months ago was still vivid in her mind. At that time, Muriel was still the leader of the special forces. After a mission, she was injured and returned to the team. She received the news that her grandfather asked her to go home. As soon as Muriel returned home, the nanny immediately stepped forward to take her luggage. When her grandfather, who was reading newspaper in the living room, heard that Muriel hade back, he didn''t move his eyes away from the newspaper. His granddaughter had finallye back home once in a year and a half, but he didn''t go forward to wee her with joy. Muriel saw her grandfather reading newspaper in the living room. With an expressionless face, she went straight to the spiral staircase and was about to go upstairs. "Son of a bitch! Where are your manners if you don''t greet the elders when you get home?" Grandpa scolded angrily. Muriel didn''t change her expression. She turned around and walked to her grandfather. "I''m back." "Sit down." Grandpa threw the newspaper on the sofa and looked at Muriel seriously. Muriel sat on the sofa and looked at her grandfather. Her grandfather would not specially ask her to go home for nothing. "You and I will go to Grandpa Zhou''s birthday party tonight. The dress is ready in your room. We should be there by 6 p.m. You go to wash and dress up now." Joseph Mu looked his granddaughter up and Original from N?velDrama.Org. down. He had left her in the army since she was a child. She had shoulder length hair, a well- proportioned figure, and a heroic spirit. ''It''s lucky that she is energetic and looks good. Mr. Zhou must be satisfied with my granddaughter, '' thought Joseph Mu. "Just a birthday party?" Obviously, Muriel didn''t believe what her grandfather said. If it was just a birthday party, would her grandfather specially let her ask for leave and go home? ''Doesn''t grandpa hate me being in his sight the most?'' "What do you mean?" A glint shed through his eyes. Muriel looked at him coldly and said, "Don''t you want me to die in the battlefield to donate my life for the country? If it weren''t for something important, you wouldn''t want me toe back at all. If it''s just a simple birthday party, you can take anyone with you. Why do you have to take me? It''s not your style. " "You..." Joseph Mu didn''t expect his granddaughter to be so difficult to fool, "Mr. Zhou has grown up, and his grandson Leonard Zhou has also reached the marriageable age. You two are both in the army, so you should have a lot to talk about. To put it bluntly, today I''ll take you to a blind date. Behave yourselfter. Don''t embarrass me. " Sitting on the sofa, Muriel couldn''t help clenching her fists. With a cold look in her eyes, she said coldly, "I won''t go." "You can''t refuse it." Joseph Mu knocked heavily on the floor with his crutch. Muriel red at him. The wound on her shoulder was painful, but not as painful as that in her heart. "No, I won''t. If there''s nothing important, I''ll go back to the army." Muriel stood up and was about to go upstairs to get her luggage. The little girl was getting more and more difficult to control. Joseph Mu angrily cursed, "Bastard! I did this for your own good. You should get married as soon as possible and support your husband and son. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in the gunshots? " Muriel turned around and gave him a mocking look. "Don''t forget who has caused this. Who threw me into the army when I was eight years old?" "Bastard! What''s wrong with you? Who are you talking to! You pissed me off! If it weren''t for your mother, our family wouldn''t have ended up like this! Would I be like this? " Said Joseph Mu angrily. "You have no right to mention my mother. It''s all your fault that our family has be like this. It''s all because of your greed for money!" Muriel said coldly, ring at him with red eyes. "If you don''t attend Mr. Zhou''s birthday party today, you won''t be able to see Daniel." What? Daniel? Muriel''s face changed slightly. She immediately ran upstairs and pushed her brother''s room open. The messy room was neat and tidy, and the dust on the table clearly told Muriel that no one had lived in this room for a long time. Muriel rushed out of the room and ran to him. "What''s wrong with Daniel? Where did you take him? " "Humph! Go to Mr. Zhou''s birthday party with me tonight. I''ll tell you where Daniel is when Ie back. " Seeing the anxious look on Muriel''s face, Joseph Mu felt relieved. Fortunately, he had caught her weakness. "Despicable!" Muriel turned around and went upstairs angrily. Hearing Muriel''s words, Joseph knew that he had seeded. Then he sat on the sofa in the living room, picked up the newspaper and read it carefully. "Ring, ring, ring." The phone rang. Joseph picked up the phone. When he heard the voice from the other end of the phone, the frown on his face instantly rxed. Heughed and said, "She agrees. You are handsome. How could she not like you? She is so happy. I''ve given her the clothes. We''ll be there on time. Don''t worry. " "Okay, okay. I''ll thank you for Muriel. See youter." Joseph grinned from ear to ear. Muriel, who was on the second floor, stopped at the spiral staircase. When she heard the conversation between her grandfather and the man on the other side of the phone, a burst of anger rose in her chest. She returned to her room and picked up the red dress on the bed. There was a hollowed out dress behind it, which was a forward and sexy backless dress. Muriel sneered. She was really good at choosing a backless dress. Did he want everyone to see his bruised back? There were countless knife wounds and gunshot wounds. Should she seduce him or frighten him? Muriel threw the dress on the bed, opened her suitcase and took some important things. She didn''t want the rest. Muriel opened the window, checked the route and jumped to the ground from the balcony agilely. She came to the dead corner of the monitor and climbed over the wall quickly. Chapter 28 Mr. Zhous Birthday Party Chapter 28 Mr. Zhou''s Birthday Party After thinking for a while, Muriel turned back, agilely dodged the surveince monitor and sneaked into the room of Joseph. She saw the coat on the hanger and quietly put a tiny audio monitor in the coat. After that, she left the militarypound and hailed a taxi to leave. Sitting in the living room, Joseph looked at his watch and frowned slightly. ''She had been in the army for so long, but she had no idea of time. It was really disappointing!'' Joseph called the nanny over, "Ask Muriel toe down." The nanny nodded and went upstairs quickly. She knocked on the door of Muriels room, but no one opened it. She called several times outside, but there was no response from inside. The nanny thought for a while and immediately opened the door, only to find that there was no one in the room, and Muriel''s suitcase was open on the ground. Seeing the nanny trotting downstairs alone, Joseph''s heart sank, "What''s wrong?" "Sir, bad news! Miss Muriel is missing. She is not in the room. " The nanny said to Joseph in a hurry. "What? be missing? How could it be possible? " Joseph called the security guard and asked, "Hello, did Muriel leave the neighborhood just now?" The security guard checked the in and out registration and replied, "No." After hanging up the phone angrily, Joseph strode to Muriel''s room. Looking at the dress on the bed and the open suitcase on the ground, he went straight to the window. Looking at the clear footprints on the wall, he angrily threw his walking stick to the ground. "Bastard!" Joseph estimated the time and immediately dialed a number. The captain was surprised to receive the call from Joseph. "Hello?" "Has Muriel gone back to the barracks?" "Come back to the barracks? Didn''t she just go back to B City this morning? I have given her two weeks off. Why did shee back so soon? There is no emergency. " The captain asked in confusion. Joseph scolded angrily, "Damn it! I''m going to take her to the birthday party tonight, but I didn''t expect her to run away." "Run away? It can''t be true. Why did she run away from a birthday party? By the way, whose birthday party is it? " The captain asked curiously. After hesitating for a while, Joseph said, "Old Zhou." The captain immediately understood, "You took her on a blind date, didn''t you? Don''t tell me that I guess wrong. Last time when the joint training was held, the boy of the Zhou family had been staring at her. Muriel is just a little girl. Why is she in such a hurry to get married? " "It''s none of your business. Inform me immediately if she returns to the army." Then he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party''s answer. "Hello?" Hearing the empty sound from the other end of the phone, the captain could not help but sigh. The driver stepped forward and asked carefully, "Sir, are we leaving? It''s already six fifteen. " Joseph nced at the nanny. The nanny picked up the crutch on the ground and handed it to him. Then she went to the room and took out his coat. After getting dressed, Joseph said to the driver with a livid face, "Let''s go!" At the birthday party, the guests arrived one after another. They greeted each other with champagne in their hands. Leonard clinked sses with the guests and looked at the entrance. As soon as the familiar car came in, he walked quickly to the old man who got out of the car and said respectfully, "Hello, Grandpa Mu." "Hello. Where is your grandpa? I''ll go and congratte him." Joseph said kindly to Leonard. "Grandpa is here. I''ll take you there." Leonard looked at the other door in confusion. Why didn''t Muriel get off the car? He looked into the car and found no one except the driver. Leonard asked anxiously, "Muriel... Didn''t Miss Mue with you? Didn''t she promise toe with you? " A look of regret appeared on Joseph''s face. He patted Leonard on the shoulder and said, "I''m sorry. There''s an emergency in the army and they called her back. She also wanted toe here, but you know, soldiers have to obey orders, and she has no choice. " Hearing Joseph''s exnation, Leonard didn''t know what to say. He could only feel sorry for himself, "Grandpa Mu, I''ll take you to see my grandfather." "Okay." Joseph looked at Leonard up and down and thought that he was a smart young man. "Old Mu, long time no see." When Mr. Zhou saw Joseph, he immediately asked someone to bring him a cup of hot tea. "Long time no see." Joseph winked at the driver behind him and the security guard handed the gift to him. Mr. Zhou patted the back of his hand and said, "I''m satisfied that you are here. What a gift for? " Joseph said, "It''s not a big deal." Leonard took the gift. When Mr. Zhou saw that Joseph only came with the driver, he asked curiously, "Where is your granddaughter? Doesn''t shee? " Josephughed and said, "There is an emergency mission in the army, so they called her back. It''s a pity that she didn''te to celebrate your birthday. " "Ha ha, I heard from Leonard that your granddaughter is very handsome. I only have one grandson, and you are very happy. People say that daughters and granddaughters are sweet cotton padded jacket. You really make others envy you." Mr. Zhou said after taking a sip of tea. Joseph clenched his crutch and sneered in his heart, ''Envy me? Do you envy my family for being destroyed? Joseph was furious, but his expression didn''t change. "Well, well, when she finishes her work, I''ll bring her here to make amends." Then they chatted casually. Leonard looked at them anxiously and kept winking at his grandfather. Mr. Zhou red at him with dissatisfaction and then looked at Joseph. "What do you think of the marriage between Leonard and Muriel?" "No problem. Muriel likes Leonard, too." Joseph''s eyes lit up and answered immediately. "Oh? She doesn''t object? " Mr. Zhou was a little surprised. "How could she object?" said Joseph with augh. Leonard, who was standing aside, felt warm in his heart when he heard what Joseph said. "Well, let''s pick a date and get married some other day." Looking at his grandson''s silly smile, Mr. Zhou smirked in his heart. "Okay." Joseph was so happy that he picked up the tea cup and was about to drink it, only to find that he had finished the tea. Leonard immediately picked up the teapot and walked up to him, "Grandpa Mu, let me make you a cup of tea." N?velDrama.Org owns this. "You silly child. Why are you still call him Grandpa Mu?" Mr. Zhou teased with a smile. Leonard looked at him excitedly and shouted, "Grandpa, have some tea." "Okay." Joseph looked at Mr. Zhou with a smile. Muriel heard the conversation with earphones and got angry. She punched the table angrily. Bang! Muriel broke a leg of the table with a punch. After the birthday party, all the guests left. After Leonard''s mother knew that her son''s marriage was settled, she couldn''t help but ask anxiously, "Dad, isn''t it too hasty? We haven''t seen the child yet. How could he be engaged so soon? What if that kid hurts Leonard because of her bad character? " Chapter 29 Heartbroken Chapter 29 Heartbroken "Mom, Muriel is not that kind of person." Leonard frowned and retorted. Leonard''s mother stared at him angrily and asked, "How many times have you seen her? How much do you know about her? Are you sure that she is not that kind of person? I''m doing this for your own good. Look, she didn''t even attend your grandfather''s birthday party today. It can be seen that she despises our family. " "Mom, Grandpa Mu said that Muriel went back to the army because of an emergency." "There are so many people in the army. I don''t believe that they can''t deal with it without her. Silly child, you stay in the army all day long and see too few people. You are too naive." Leonard''s mother tried her best to persuade him. Leonard shook his head and said, "Muriel has made a lot of military achievements at such a young age. She is indeed one of the top soldiers in the army." "That''s even worse. You are in the scientific research department and she is in the front line. What if she is hated and implicated our family. Their family is dead now... " "Shut up!" Mr. Zhou knocked the teacup heavily on the table and said, "I''ve made a decision on this matter. No objection is allowed." In the army of Y City, the captain was surprised to see Muriel standing in front of him. "You really came back! Your grandfather called me just now to ask about your whereabouts. " Muriel didn''t answer his question and handed him an envelope. "What''s this?" The captain took it over and opened it. He couldn''t help eximing, "Retirement application in advance? Are you going to leave the army? " Muriel nodded seriously and replied, "Yes!" "Are you going to retire just because you quarreled with your grandfather?" The captain asked Muriel seriously. "Thank you for your cultivation over the years, sir. I have made up my mind." The captain put the retirement application on the table and sighed, "Muriel, I know it''s not easy for you. There will always be a solution." "Captain, I was thrown into the army when I was eight years old by a word of him. I sacrificed my childhood and youth. I narrowly escaped death several times. I think I have sacrificed a lot for him and Mu family. I don''t want to be with a man I don''t know for the rest of my life just because of his words. " Clenching her fists, Muriel looked at the captain and said firmly. The captain looked at the neatly written retirement application on the table with a headache. Out of the corner of his eyes, he nced at the files aside and suddenly had an idea. "How about this, Muriel? My superior just gave me a task of S level. A few days ago, one of our undercover''s identities was exposed and killed. Now we need to send a new undercover. How about you be this undercover? For the sake of this mission, your records in the army will be removed. " "When your grandfather asks, we can lie to him that you are discharged from the army, but in fact, you are not. If you don''t have any military rank, I believe Mr. Zhou will start to reconsider the marriage. " The captain looked at Muriel and said. Muriel thought for a while and nodded, "Okay. What is the specific undercover mission? " The captain handed over the materials. "Recently, the police arrested two singers who are suspected of drug abuse. We suspect that there is a special drug dealing group in the entertainment circle. Your task is to spy on the entertainment circle and arrest all the drug dealing groups. The names on the list are all suspicious people. You can start from them. Make the n by yourself. I taught you by myself. I believe in your ability. " "Yes! Captain! " Muriel stood up and saluted. The captain picked up Muriel''s application for retirement in advance, stamped a stamp on it, and answered the phone, "Come in, He." When He came to the office of the captain, he saw Muriel standing beside him and asked curiously, "Eh? Didn''t Captain Mu have a holiday? " The captain handed the application for retirement to him and said, "Muriel is going to be discharged from the army, and I have approved it with my seal. You can take her toplete the following formalities." "What? Retired? " He looked at Muriel in surprise. "Go ahead. Cut the crap." The captain scolded. He hurriedly took Muriel to go through the formalities. Looking at Muriel''s receding figure, the captain sent a message. The captain dialed a number, "It''s me. I''ve made a decision! I''ve approved her retirement application. " After going through the formalities, Muriel arrived at the airport. She turned on her phone and saw the short message "Be careful". Her eyes became slightly watery. She had stayed in the army for a longer time than at home. It was true that the captain had educated her and trained her like her father did. There was no banquet that would never end in the world. She believed that they would meet again. After all, Daniel was the grandson of Joseph. A vicious tiger does not eat its cubs. Muriel believed that he would not hurt her brother. Muriel pulled out the SIM card from her phone, broke it, threw it into the trash can and strode into the airport. The next day, Joseph received a call from the captain, "What? She was discharged from the army! How dare she retire! How dare she quit the army! Why did you approve it? You know that there is only one child of this family serving in the army." "I can''t disobey her. She listed the merits she had made and the injuries she had suffered in the past few years. She withdrew from the army on the excuse of her injury. It''s too inhuman for me to still hold on to it." The captain said to Joseph apologetically. Joseph said heartbroken, "I discussed with Mr. Zhou about the marriage of Leonard and her yesterday. The date will be set in a few days. Why does she retire at this critical moment?" The captain pretended to be ignorant and said, "There is no conflict between retirement and marriage. If she is discharged from the army, she can stay at home and take care of your husband and children." "Ah! I just want her to be transferred from the front line to the civil service after she gets married. If she is discharged from the army directly, she will have nothing. Even whether she can get married or not is a problem! " Joseph kept knocking on the ground with his walking stick. The captainforted him, "Mr. Mu, don''t be angry. Now that things have happened, there is no need for regret." "When did she leave?" Joseph asked harshly. "She left yesterday." "You didn''t tell me what happened yesterday until today?" Joseph couldn''t help clenching the phone. "I was too busy to remember yesterday until it was veryte. I didn''t want to disturb your rest." The captain said apologetically, "Please don''t be angry..." p. Joseph angrily threw the phone out and looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost twelve o''clock at noon. Muriel left the army yesterday and didn''t go home today. Where did she go? Didn''t she care about Daniel? No, that''s impossible! This was Muriel''s weakness. She would never leave her brother behind. ''When shees back hometer, I have to teach her a lesson.'' Joseph N?velDrama.Org ? content. thought to himself. But it was not until seven o''clock in the evening that he still couldn''t find Muriel. Then he began to panic and immediately sent people to look for Muriel. Chapter 30 Trampling Chapter 30 Trampling "Muriel, what are you looking at?" Catherine''s voice brought her back to senses. Joseph had disappeared from Muriel''s mind. She shook her head slightly, turned around and said to Catherine, "Nothing." "Try these clothes on, please." Catherine said to Muriel, pointing at the clothes in Lydia''s hands. Muriel tried several sets, and Catherine observed carefully and bought them all in the end. Catherine drove Muriel and Lydia back to the dormitory. "Your current handsome dressing style is very popr online. You''d better follow the path of martial arts stars in the future. I think this style fits you very well." "Okay." Muriel nodded indifferently. Catherine looked at the script and frowned slightly. "You should study the script carefully. I didn''t pay much attention to it because you yed a supporting role before. Now your role in the new y is a big antagonist. You should think about your acting skill carefully. " Muriel pointed at theputer and said, "I''ve asked Lydia to download some movies on theputer. I''ll study hard these days." Catherine didn''t expect that Muriel had made a n. She nodded approvingly and praised, "Good spirit. I have something to do in thepany. If you have any questions, contact me at once. Lydia, take good care of Muriel, okay? " Lydia nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I will." At midnight, there was only onemp on in the dormitory. Muriel sat on the bed with aptop and watched the movie meticulously. She kept recording something in her notebook from time to time, and Lydia had fallen asleep in the guest room. She looked at it for a long time, but she was still very energetic and did not feel sleepy at all. She picked up the cup beside her and recalled what had happened many years ago. asionally, Muriel contacted with Richard. He was very concerned about whether she had eaten well or slept well. Looking at the time on the phone screen, she heard the voice of Richard in her mind, "Go to bed early. Remember not to stay upte." Muriel turned off theputer for no reason. When she saw that theputer screen waspletely dark, she came to her senses and murmured in surprise, "Why did I turn off theputer? Forget it. Go to sleep. " After packing up, she went to wash and lie on the bed to sleep. After a while, she fell asleep. Joseph didn''t sleep all night, and he didn''t feel sleepy at all in the morning. "Knock, knock, knock." Someone knocked on the door urgently. Rubbing his wrinkled eyebrows, Joseph lifted the quilt and sat up, "Come in." "Sir, Mr. Zhou is calling." Looking at the nanny standing in front of him, Joseph''s heart sank. He hurried downstairs. Joseph picked up the phone with a big smile on his face, "Hello, Mr. Zhou." "Yes, it''s me." Mr. Zhou said in a t tone on the other end of the phone, which made Joseph uncertain about his attitude. ''Uh... Mr. Zhou called me to set a date for the wedding? '' Joseph prayed in his heart. "Humph! Didn''t your granddaughter disappear? And I have already known that she submitted the application. " Mr. Zhou said in a bad tone. Joseph felt bad and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, here is the thing..." Mr. Zhou sighed and said, "Maybe she has no intention of getting married for the time being. Since that''s the case, since the two children haven''t got the marriage certificate yet, let''s just forget about this. I hope this won''t affect our years of friendship." Joseph was burning with anxiety, "Mr. Zhou, please listen to me Hello, hello? " Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Joseph leaned weakly on the sofa and looked much older. Looking at his pale face, the nanny was worried about him and asked gingerly, "Sir? are you all right? Do you need a doctor? " "I''m fine. You can leave now." Joseph stared at the ceiling nkly. In the detention center of the capital city, Sunny was detained for fifteen days. Afterwards, she was released. Sunny walked out of the detention center with a haggard face. Outside the door, a group of reporters were carrying cameras and taking pictures with digital cameras. The microphones were like firecrackers,ing close to Sunny. Sunny lowered her head timidly, letting her long hair cover her face as much as possible. She didn''t want the media to take pictures of her haggard face. The reporters asked all kinds of questions excitedly, which were very tricky and vicious. Sunny''s face darkened as she listened to them. The gate of the detention center was blocked by reporters. She blocked the microphone with her hand and anxiously looked around to see where her agent and assistant were. "Sunny, what do you want to say about the fake mming of the door? Why did you frame Muriel? " Pretending to m the door? Sunny stopped and looked at the reporters in surprise. It was not until Sunny was arrested that Richard exposed the surveince video, so Sunny didn''t know that the whole country had known that she had pretended to fall and framed Muriel. Seeing that Sunny stood still, the reporters thought she was about to answer the question, so they were so excited that they pushed forward. The reporters behind suddenly swarmed up, and a cameraman in front of her couldn''t stand steadily and was pushed down. He stumbled, and the camera in his hand knocked heavily on Sunny''s forehead. "Ah!" Sunny covered her forehead and screamed painfully. "What''s wrong?" Hearing Sunny''s scream, the reporters who didn''t know the truth were excited and tried their best to squeeze forward. "Stop pushing. I''m in danger. Why are you still pushing?" "What happened ahead?" "Someone hit Sunny." "Hit her? WOW! It was a big news! Hurry up! " The reporters in the front of the crowd were unwilling to get out of the way, and the ones behind them were forced to squeeze forward. The reporters in front of them were pushed to the ground. Sunny fell to the ground, and a reporter stepped on her finger. The pain made her scream, "ah!" The reporter who fell down in front of her was also stepped on by the reporters rushing behind. An interview turned into a trample. There was a loud noise outside. The police of the detention center immediately ran out to maintain order and hurriedly sent several injured reporters and Sunny to the hospital. "She was just released from prison and hospitalized. The truth of Sunny''s injury!" * "Sunny fell down again." * "Trampling outside the detention center of the capital city, more than ten people injured" In the XR Group, Secretary Chen walked to Richard''s desk and said, "Mr. Xu, Sunny is released from prison. Do we still need to send someone to monitor her?" N?velDrama.Org ? content. "Hmm... Forget it. She is like a grasshopper in the autumn now. She can''t walk for a few days. " Richard quickly signed his name on the document and sneered. Chapter 31 Fight In The Ward Chapter 31 Fight In The Ward Lying on the bed and watching the news on TV, Sunny was so angry that she threw the iodine and alcohol bottles in the nurse''s treatment car to the ground. N?velDrama.Org owns this. "Hey, hey, what are you doing?" The nurse looked at her angrily. When she was changing the infusion for Sunny, the iodine bottle fell to the ground and was broken and scattered all over the floor. Fortunately, she was so lucky that she was almost scratched by the broken ss. Sunny] ignored the nurse''s questioning. She red at the TV, as if she wanted to poke a hole in it. The nurse cleared up the ss fragments and pushed the treatment car out of the ward. After closing the door, she cursed in a low voice, "What''s wrong with her?" "Sunny." Sunny''s assistant sneaked into the ward after she looked around and found no one was looking at her. Hearing the familiar voice, Sunny came to her senses. She looked at her assistant sadly and asked, "Why didn''t youe to the detention center to pick me up just now? Do you know that I''ve been blocked by those stupid reporters! How on earth do you work as an assistant? " Sunny scolded the assistant with a crackling sound. The assistant''s words were choked in her throat, and her aggrieved expression stiffened. "I just heard a report mention of my fake falling. What happened? Has the truth been known? " Sunny stared at the assistant in surprise. The assistant looked at Sunny''s resentful eyes, nodded nervously and took a step back slowly. Sunny quickly took out her mobile phone and searched her name on Baidu. With her trembling fingers, she clicked the link of the news one after another. Looking at the videos on micro-blog and the curses fromizens in thement area, her face became gloomier. "What the hell is going on? How did thepany''s public rtions team do their work? Now the Inte is full of abusive words. " Holding the phone tightly, Sunny bit her lips and questioned the assistant. ''Thepany has already dered to terminate the contract with you.'' The assistant replied in her heart. Sunny''s expression was so fierce that she didn''t dare to answer. "Where is Catherine? I came out of the detention center. Why didn''t I see her? " Sunny roared. In the past, she would respectfully call Catherine "Sister Chen". Now that she was out of control, she could no longer care about it. "Catherine... She..." The assistant began to regreting to the hospital to visit her. She just wanted to run away. "Loser." Seeing that the assistant couldn''t answer anything, Sunny had a bad feeling. Sunny hurriedly searched for the official micro-blog of Purple Cloud Media and saw an apology statement and a notice of termination of contract with her hanging on the top of the micro-blog. "No, it''s impossible. Catherine said she wouldn''t give up on me. How could it be possible! These news are fake! " Sunny murmured. She scrolled the screen and saw the number of fans of Purple Cloud Media. With about one million fans, this was indeed the official micro-blog of Purple Cloud Media. "They terminated the contract with me? Why didn''t you tell me just now? " Sunny pounded the bed with excitement. Sunny didn''t want to hear the assistant''s exnation anymore. She clicked on the news and saw a group of people talking about her. "After listening to this recording, I found that Sunny was so disgusting." "Fortunately, the recording is also here. Otherwise, if the surveince video can''t be repaired, Muriel will be cursed to death by Sunny''s fans. I feel sorry for Muriel. She is a good girl, but she was framed inexplicably. " Recording? What recording? Sunny clicked the link in a hurry and saw what she and her assistant had said in the ward clearly being yed on the website. Hearing this, the assistant said to Sunny in a hurry, "I have something else to do. I''ll go back first." Sunny threw her phone aside and rushed out of bed angrily. She grabbed the assistant who was about to leave the ward with one hand and pulled her back with the other hand. "It''s you! It''s you who set me up! Why did you hurt me? Why! You bitch! How dare you expose our conversation? " Sunny pulled the assistant''s hair with one hand and pped her in the face with the other. "Ah!" The assistant''s face twisted in pain. "Sunny, I didn''t betray you. Ah! Let go of me. It hurts! " No matter how much the assistant begged for mercy, Sunny didn''t let go. The assistant had no choice but to stretch out her hand and pull Sunny''s hair hard. "You bitch! You not only set me up, but also hit me. I have provided you food and clothing for so many years, but you actually treat me like this! I''ll beat you to a pulp! " Sunny and her assistant were fighting fiercely in the ward, and all kinds of things were knocked down to the ground. The noise in the ward was quite loud. The nurses and doctors hurried to stop them. "Stop fighting. This is the hospital. Loud fighting is prohibited." Sunny pushed away the doctor who was trying to grab her, picked up the high-heeled shoes on the ground and swung them to the assistant''s head. "Ah!" The assistant''s head was injured quickly, and the nurse who tried to stop the fight was hit by Sunny''s high heels. Hearing the news, the security guards rushed over and had to use violence to subdue Sunny. The onlookers kept taking photos and videos with their mobile phones. "Oh my God! I didn''t expect to see Sunny beat someone in the hospital today." "Oh my God! Sunny hit the woman in the hospital and almost tore her scalp off. She is so arrogant. It''s said that she made a hole in the woman''s head. It''s really frightening. " "I was also in the hospital at that time. Sunny looked like a mad man. I used to think she was my goddess. I must have been blind at that time." "Blogger, please tell Sunny why did she hit someone in the hospital?" "It seems that the one who was beaten is Sunny''s assistant. Since she has done something wrong and is exposed, just vent her anger on her assistant. Maybe." As soon as she was released, Sunny, who had been trampled, immediately entered the top ten of the hot search list. Now, there was a hospital fight, and she was immediately ranked first on the hot search list byizens. In the police station of the capital city, the police looked at Sunny who was in a mess with a haggard face and frowned. "What''s the rtionship between you and the victim?" "It''s my assistant." The policeman asked while making a inquiry record, "Why did you hit her?" "Because she framed me, she put the surveince video and recording on micro-blog and made everyone hate me." At the thought of this, Sunny wished she could tear her assistant apart. Looking at Sunny]''s resentful expression, the policeman frowned and asked coldly, "Frame you? Do you want to say that the surveince video and recording online are fake? Huh? " "I... Those. " Sunny was speechless and didn''t know how to answer the police''s question. The policeman snorted, "ording to the forty-third term of thew of public security management, anyone who beats a person or intentionally hurts a person shall be detained for five to ten days and fined more than two hundred to five hundred yuan. If the case is not serious, the person will be detained for less than five days or fined for less than five hundred yuan. " Sunny, who had juste out of the detention center, went in again. Chapter 32 Second Release Chapter 32 Second Release After being detained for five days, Sunny was released again. This time, she learned her lesson. She lowered her head and covered most of her face with her hair. She quickly walked to the street and stopped a taxi to the Purple Cloud Media. The receptionist was startled when she saw Sunny suddenly appear. She hurriedly stood out and tried to stop her, but she immediately ran to the general manager''s office. Many artists in thepany saw the aggressive face of Sunny and whispered to each other. "Bang!" The door of the general manager''s office was pushed open, which startled the person inside. "You can''t go in." The receptionist held Sunny''s hand and was so anxious that she almost cried. Sunny pped the receptionist and said fiercely, "Get out, don''t drag me." The receptionist was stunned by the p. Sunny took the opportunity to break into the office, nced at the general manager and the beautiful woman sitting next to him, and sneered, "Long time no see, general manager!" Karl patted the beauty''s thigh and said, "You wait me at the restaurant first. I''ll be there soon." The beauty nodded obediently and left the general manager''s office with the receptionist. Seeing the door closed, Karl frowned and looked at Sunny, "What are you doing here?" "I still want to ask you what you want to do and why you want to terminate the contract with me. Catherine promised me that she would do a good job in public rtions and wouldn''t give up on me! Why did you terminate the contract with me? You terminate the contract with me in advance and you have topensate me three million ording to the terms of the contract. " Sunny said angrily, waiting for the general manager''s reply. Karl looked at Sunny discontentedly and said, "Compensation? Humph! How dare you say that? Why don''t you see what you have done? Your news has been exposed on micro-blog, and thepanies who had intended to cooperate with you have cancelled their cooperation. All the advertisements we have shot before were immediately cancelled. They all asked forpensation. They said that our artists have no morals and ruined the reputation of their brands. Do you know how much money the Sunny was choked by his words. She said in an aggrieved tone, "Even so, you can''t terminate the contract with me. I have been struggling in the entertainment circle for so many years and I can''t let it go so easily. Give me the money for terminating the contract, or I won''t let you go even if I''m done. I know what you have done before. I''ll sell these materials to the media, and I believe that many people will scramble to buy exclusive information. " Hearing this, Karl''s face changed. Heughed and said, "Sunny, you are still so stubborn. I was just kidding. How could we really terminate the contract with you? It''s because the matter is too influential, we have to announce to the public that we have terminated the contract with you. You can rest for a period of time. Theizens will gradually forget these things, and you cane back. " "Aren''t you really going to terminate the contract with me?" Sunny was delighted and looked at Karl expectantly. Karl nodded with a smile, "Yes, it''s an expedient. You have caused a lot of trouble. By the way, why did you mess with Muriel? " "I... I just don''t like her." Sunny felt a little guilty. She also knew that the exposure of her mean deeds would have a great impact on herself, not to mention the image of thepany. "By the way," Sunny suddenly thought of something. She looked at Karl angrily and asked, "Why did you sign Muriel, and let Muriel cultivate her? It''s all Muriel''s fault. It''s her who made me like this. How can you sign her?" ''It''s all your fault. How dare you scold others? Stupid woman.'' Karl cursed in his heart, but the smile on his face did not decrease. "Of course Muriel is not as good as you. Although she is now the artist under the cultivation of Catherine, Catherine''s focus is on other artists. After a period of time when the heat of the matter is over, Catherine will sign you back and then quit Muriel, so as to vent your anger. What do you think?" Sunny felt much better after thinking for a while, "What should I do these days?" Karl thought for a while, took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Sunny, "Here you are. How about you travel abroad to rx yourself? Or how about you go to see CEO Wang and others? " Sunny took the credit card happily. After thinking for a while, she said, "I can consider traveling abroad." Seeing that Sunny had calmed down, Karl looked at his watch and said apologetically, "Sunny, it''ste now. I have an appointment with the beauty. Let me drive you home first." Sunny nodded and followed Karl to the underground parking lot. Soon they arrived the apartment. Seeing Sunny go upstairs, Karl took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "Damn it." After thinking for a while, Sunny was still not reconciled. Her career in film and television was temporarily suspended. Most of her fans turned against her, and thements on micro-blog were almost curses. She couldn''t ept this reality. Why did Muriel rece her role in Love of Ghosts and Goblins? Why did Muriel sign the contract with Catherine? Why did Muriel have more than about two million fans now? Why? Why! Sunny picked up her phone and dialed a number. Before she could speak, the person on the other end of the phone immediately said anxiously, "Sunny, you''re finally out. I''ve endured too much these days. I''m almost crazy. Do you have any goods now?" She sensed that there was something wrong with the person on the other end of the phone. That day, she called CEO Wang because she didn''t have any drugs. But she didn''t expect that she was caught by the police in the leisure club. She just came out of the police station, so she didn''t have any. But when she thought that she had to ask the other party to help her, she couldn''t do it without these Original from N?velDrama.Org. things. Without changing her expression, Sunny said, "I still have some. I''ll go to the same ce to wait for you tonight." "Thank you, Sunny." "I have something to ask you. Do you have a friend in the Storm crew?" "Storm crew? Well, I have a friend there. What''s wrong? " "Help me ask your friend out in your name. Don''t say I asked him out. Just get him drunk." After hearing that, the man felt something was wrong. He asked doubtfully, "Why do you want me to get him drunk? What do you want? " "It''s none of your business. Don''t you want the goods?" Sunny snorted. At the mention of drugs, the man felt as if there were ants crawling on his body. It was itchy and could not be relieved no matter how hard he scratched. After thinking for a while, the man nodded and said, "Okay." Sunny hung up the phone with a sinister smile, picked up the phone and called CEO Wang. She said in a charming tone, "Hello, CEO Wang. I''m Sunny." Chapter 33 Drag Her Into The Mire Chapter 33 Drag Her Into The Mire Sunny washed the despising smell off her body in the bathroom. She nced at CEO Wang, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, took a few small bags from the table and put them in her bag. Then she set out to the address sent by Lee. In the private room, Lee''s phone vibrated. He took out his phone and saw Sunny calling. He grinned excitedly. Max drank the liquor in one gulp, shook his dizzy head and asked curiously, "Who''s on the phone? Original from N?velDrama.Org. Why are you so happy? " Lee was a little embarrassed. He looked at Max strangely and said, "I have to answer a phone outside and will be back soon." "Go ahead." Max waved his hand indifferently. Lee looked at Max with aplicated expression. The drunk Max didn''t find anything unusual about Lee. Lee turned around and picked up the phone. "Where are you, Sunny?" As soon as he finished his words, a woman beside him threw herself into his arms. Before he could push the woman away, she raised her head and kissed him. Seeing that the person in his arms was Sunny, Lee opened his mouth in surprise. Sunny took the opportunity to feed Lee the pills in her mouth. Lee knew what it was as soon as he bit it. His eyes lit up with joy. Sunny moved her red lips and quickly put a bag into Lee''s pocket. She patted Lee on the buttock and smiled, "Where is he?" "In the room." Lee said excitedly as he got what he wanted. Sunny waved at Lee and said, "Bye." "Bye." Lee hurried home as soon as he got the drug. Sunny went into the box and closed the door. She wore a heavy makeup. The drunk Max only saw a beautiful woman sitting next to him and didn''t recognize that she was Sunny. "Hey, beauty, are you in the wrong room?" "Handsome boy, why are you drinking alone? It''s so lonely to be alone. Do you want me to drink with you? " Sunny said in a soft voice. She took out a cigarette from her bag, lit it and handed it to Max. Max took the cigarette and took a puff. He choked and coughed. "What kind of cigarette are you smoking? It smells a little strange. " "They are foreign goods. They are very precious. Have you ever smoked? You will know how wonderful it is after you finish smoking. " Sunny bewitched him. Max leaned against the sofa, closed his eyes and slowly ept to the taste of the "foreign cigarette". He began to feel veryfortable and rxed. "Beauty, which country is this cigarette from? What brand is it? At first, the smell was a little strange. It was really different andfortable to smoke more. Do you have more of this? Give me one more. " Max begged. Sunny generously lit another cigarette and handed it to Max. The more he smoked, the more he felt like he was floating. He felt sofortable that he leaned against the sofa and felt sleepy. Seeing that, Sunny patted the man to wake him up. She leaned against him and said coquettishly, "Handsome boy, let''s go to y something else." Seeing the flirtatious look on her face, Max''s heart skipped a beat. He held Sunny in his arms and said, "Okay, okay. What do you want to y? I''ll y with you." Sunny helped the wobbling man to a hotel room. The two of them rolled over on the bed recklessly. After that, the man fell asleep wearily. In the darkness, a vicious look shed across Sunny''s eyes. She took out an injection needle from her bag and stabbed it under Max''s skin. Then she pushed the stic plug and injected the fluid into his body. The sleeping man did not notice that. The second day, when Max woke up, he felt his head was about to explode, and his chest was very stuffy and disgusting. He tried hard to get up from the bed, but his body was unable to do anything. He titled his head and vomited, tears and snot gushing out uncontrobly. He broke out in a cold sweat and couldn''t help trembling. It took a long time for the man to calm down. At this time, he found that the beautiful woman standing next to him was Sunny. He recalled something, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? You were the womanst night? " Max recalled that Sunny was arrested for drug abuse. He asked in horror, "What, what cigarette did you give mest night?" Sunny didn''t answer his question. She threw the note with her mobile phone number in front of him and said indifferently, "Contact me if you want the goods." Looking at Sunny who left without looking back, Max nervously searched online for information about drugs. He keptforting himself, ''This is the first time. For the first time, I won''t be addicted. I won''t.'' Max thought he wouldn''t be addicted to it. But he was so drunk that he didn''t know that when he was asleep, Sunny injected him with a highly concentrated drug. Sunny went back home and had a good sleep. Within a day, Max called her. Sunny picked up the phone and listened to Max''s incoherent words. She said coldly, "If you want the goods, promise me something. I''ll give you a small bag first. If you don''t listen to me, don''te to me next time. " "Okay, okay, I can do anything for you." Looking at Muriel''s micro-blog, Sunny snorted with her red eyes, "What I want you to do is..." On the Storm shooting set, Catherine received a call from Karl and knew that Sunny hade to the micro-blog and found that Sunny had been on the headlines for a few days. She cursed disdainfully, "Loser." Catherine turned to look at Muriel on shooting. The martial arts instructor and Director Quentin saw that Muriel had finished another perfect martial arts action, and they apuded happily. Director Quentin noticed that Lindy hade to the set. He pointed at Muriel and said, "I will let Muriel have a rest andter you two will be shot together." Lindy nodded to show her understanding. Lindy''s parts hadn''t been revised much, so there was little left to shoot. Looking at Muriel who was fixing her make-up, Lindy bit down on the lip and hesitated for a while before she walked up to Muriel. Muriel saw from the mirror that Lindy was standing next to her. She blinked and said, "Hello." Lindy wanted to say something but hesitated. After thinking for a while, she said, "Behave yourself. I don''t want to be embarrassed by you!" Then she snorted and turned away. The make-up artist was embarrassed when she heard these words. Sheforted Muriel nervously, "She has no malice. Don''t think too much about it. She was born as a child star, and her acting skill is very good after years of training. She might..." "It''s okay. I don''t think too much." Thinking of Lindy''s unpleasant expression just now, Muriel thought she was quite cute. Chapter 34 Sow Discord Chapter 34 Sow Discord With a bottle of yogurt in her hand, Lindy''s assistant walked to Muriel shyly. She put the yogurt on the dressing table, blushed and said, "This is the yogurt for you. It can replenish your energy." Muriel smiled, "Thank you. I''ll drink it after I fix my makeup." Seeing that Muriel epted the yogurt happily, she nodded with pleasure and ran out. Muriel was amused by Lindy and her assistant. After giving the yogurt to Muriel, Yumi came back and sat next to Lindy. Seeing that Yumi had nothing in her hands, she asked, "Where is the yogurt? Did you drink it? " "No, I didn''t drink it. I, I gave it to Muriel." After a short pause, Yumi didn''t hide anything from Lindy. Lindy poked her head with her finger and said discontentedly, "Why did you give it to her?" "Well, Muriel had just finished a few shootings and was tired. So I gave her a bottle of yogurt to rx in case she make you suffer from NGter." Hearing this exnation, Lindy let her go. After putting on makeup, Muriel took the straw and was about to drink the yogurt. Catherine came over and grabbed the yogurt from Muriel''s hand. "Did Lydia buy it?" Lydia shook her hands and said, "No, I didn''t. I didn''t buy anything today." "Who gave it to you?" Catherine stared at Muriel sharply. Muriel didn''t understand why Catherine was so sensitive all of a sudden. She told her the truth, "It was given to me by Lindy''s assistant. What''s wrong?" Catherine handed the yogurt to Lydia and ordered coldly, "Lydia, throw it into the trash can." "What? Okay. " Lydia took the yogurt and was about to leave. Frowning, Muriel stopped Lydia, "Wait, what''s wrong? Why did you throw it away? " "You''d better not eat anything that others give you. The entertainment circle is not as good as you think. What seems like the most harmless thing is the most dangerous thing. I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and have seen all sorts of despicable means. " Catherine put her hands on her hips and looked at the yogurt with disdain. Muriel took a look at Catherine. She didn''t think that Lindy was that kind of person. She wondered if Catherine wanted to alienate her from Lindy. By making her fear the entertainment circle, she wanted her to listen to her all the time. Muriel thought she could check whether there was any conflict between Catherine and Lindy, or whether Purple Cloud Media and Lindy''s agency had a dispute. Pointing at the yogurt in Lydia''s hand, Muriel said, I have checked it. Its package is intact. So this bottle of yogurt should be safe. " Catherine didn''t expect that Muriel would be so cautious. "No matter how cautious you are, it couldn''t be too much. Throw it away." "I don''t think it''s a good idea to throw it right now. There are too many people on the film set. The yogurt that was given to me by Yumi will be found in the trash can. And Lindy will also know it. " Catherine turned to look at Lydia, "When you go back to the dormitory, pour it into the bathroom. Then throw the empty box into the trash can." "Got it." When Director Quentin saw Murieling over, he waved his hand in a hurry and asked, "Have you had a good rest? Can we continue shooting now? " "No problem, director." Director Quentin called Muriel and Lindy aside to have a talk. The next part was the first encounter of Tessa and Ms. Leopard. When Tessa was catching the criminals and got injured, Ms. Leopard came out to rescue the beauty. As soon as she saw the familiar ne around Tessa''s neck, she recognized it at the first sight. But now, she had be her enemy. She had no face to recognize Tessa, so she pretended not to know her. "Three, two, action!" WhenTessa was patrolling the street, a man not far away was sneaking around. When the man turned around and saw her, he was frightened and turned around to run away. As soon as she sensed that there was something wrong with this man, she ran after him. Obviously, the man was very familiar with the route. He ran into the alley so nimbly that he was about to get rid of Tessa, but she didn''t give up and chased after him. The man thought that since she was a policewoman, her fighting skills should not be very good. He turned a corner in the alley and stopped running. He hid against the wall and took out a knife from his pocket. When Tessa came over, the man swung a knife towards her chest. She was frightened and hurried to the side. The knife cut her clothes, but fortunately it didn''t stab her. Tessa punched the man, but was blocked by him. The two fought in the alley. Ms. Leopard was bored wandering in the alley and bumped into such a scene. When she saw the ne around the neck of the policewoman who was suppressed on the ground, she stopped. The memories of her childhood flooded into her mind like a tide. Thinking of her beloved sister, she rushed up and kicked the man over in anger. She kicked his belly mercilessly, and the man rolled on the ground in pain. Tessa got up from the ground and hurriedly stopped Ms. Leopard who was about to kick the man to death. "Stop it. He''s going to die." With a snort, Ms. Leopard took a step back. Then, Tessa took out a pair of handcuffs from her bag and buckled up the man''s hands. When she had the time size Ms. Leopard up, her first impression of her was not very good.But after all, she had owed her a favor, so she said gratefully, "Thank you for helping me catch him. What''s your name? I''ll buy you a cup of milk teater. " Seeing that Tessa couldn''t recognize her at all, Ms. Leopard was a little disappointed and relieved. She lowered her eyebrows. "Um... What are you thinking about? " Tessa waved her hand in front of Ms. Leopard''s eyes. Ms. Leopard came back to her senses and chuckled. She turned around and left without saying anything. "Hello, what''s your name?" Ms. Leopard stopped. She didn''t turn around, and her eyes began to turn red. She tried to be cold and said, "I''m Ms. Leopard." Then she strode away. "What? Is that Ms. Leopard? That mysterious Ms. Leopard? Ah! How could it be possible? " Tessa didn''t expect that the person who saved her just now was a very popr gangster in the city recently. It was said that this person was ruthless and evil, but she did everything perfectly. The police couldn''t find any evidence so that she escaped several times. If she had known that the woman was Ms. Leopard, she should have handcuffed her as soon as possible. Tessa stamped her feet remorsefully. "Cut." Director Quentin ordered.N?velDrama.Org ? content. Chapter 35 Variety Show Chapter 35 Variety Show "Muriel and Lindy did a good job. I''ll take a few more feature shots for you two respectively." Director Quentin praised their performancecently. Lindy had only seen the acting skills of Muriel as a substitute before. So she could not tell whether Muriel''s acting skills were good or not. It was the first time that she acted with Muriel today. She found that though Muriel''s acting skills were not as good as some elder actress, but not a little better than the popr young artists in the entertainment circle recently. "I failed several actions and caused you to be knocked down by the gangsters several more times just now. Are you all right?" The air was a little stuffy. Muriel handed portable fan to Lindy. Lindy didn''t resist Muriel as much as before. She pouted and said, "I''m fine." Max was carrying a box of stage props to the warehouse. He leaned against the box and kept yawning. Seeing his expression, a staff member beside him asked in confusion, "What did you dost night? You have been yawning in the daytime. You don''t look energetic at all during working hours. You seem to be about to fall asleep. " "Max. Are you not feeling well? You don''t look good. " Hearing this, Max''s eyes flickered and he felt uneasy. He shook his head and said, "I''m fine. I ate something wrong yesterday and had a stomachache." Since Max was set up by Sunny, his appetite became worse and worse these days. Sometimes his limbs were weak or sore. After dinner, he felt sick and wanted to vomit. Once his drug addiction took effect, his skin would itch all over his body. Now he began to feel that there were ants crawling on his body. Thinking of what Sunny had told him to do, he looked around and quietly locked the door of the warehouse. In the XR Group, "Mr. Xu, this is the n of the variety show." Secretary Chen put a stack of documents in front of Richard. Richard read the n carefully. It was a variety show called The Paradise. "The Paradise?" This ordinary name made Richard frown. If this was the idea of Star Culture that he had just acquired, he would doubt if his one billion was going to be wasted. If this n was really so rubbish, he believed that David would not submit it to him. Richard continued to read, only to find that the second line read: Also named as The Paradise In Hell. The Paradise In Hell? Well, this aroused Richard''s curiosity. N?velDrama.Org owns this. The program mainly talked about a person who was infected with some kind of disease virus. When he was ying in the amusement park, he suddenly turned into a corpse. Then he bit a tourist, and the tourist was quickly infected and turned into a corpse. One after another, the amusement park named The Paradise turned into the Hell. Before the shooting, the producer would hide the truth from ten guests. When the shooting started, everyone would immediately be chased by arge number of corpses yed by the masses, and the panicked guests would have all kinds of funny actions. The guestspleted the task ording to the instructions on their mobile phones, avoiding the attack of corpses, saving theirpanions and looking for other survivors. This was indeed a very good program. Seeing that the guests were fooled by the show, the fear of being chased by the crowd of corpses, and the nervousness of fighting against time to save their Although the name of the program was a little childish, the storyline would make everyone have a different feeling. "The program is well nned. Who are the guests?" Richard praised. Victor handed over a list, on which the names of more than twenty guests were listed, and the name of Muriel was also included. After thinking for a while, Richard picked up his phone and sent a message to Muriel, "Muriel, are you afraid of zombies, corpses and ghosts?" Muriel, who was resting and browsing micro-blog, was happy to see this message. She replied, "I''m an atheist. I''m not afraid of these things." Seeing that Muriel was staring at her phone with a smile, Lindy raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who is it? Did your boyfriend text you? " Muriel shrugged innocently and said, "I just saw an interesting Emoji on micro-blog." "What kind of Emoji?" Lindy stretched out her head to have a look. Fortunately, Muriel had an Emoji designed by a staff member. On the picture, Lindy was walking elegantly on high heels. As a result, she sprained her ankle and almost fell down. The words below the picture were "Scared the baby to death". When Lindy saw the picture that Muriel clicked, she blushed with shyness. "Well, the designer is going to die. I''ll fix herter. You delete it! " "Okay, okay, I''ll delete it now." It was not until Muriel deleted the photo in front of Lindy that she felt relieved. Knowing that Muriel was not afraid of a corpse, Richard highlighted Muriel''s name and wrote his name on it. David looked at Richard in surprise, "Mr. Xu, what are you doing?" "Muriel and I will be engaged in this program. The rest of the crew will be fully decided by the producer." Richard tapped his slender fingers on the desk rhythmically. After thinking for a while, he said, "Take a look at the biggest amusement park in our country and purchase it. After recording the twelve episodes, it will be opened to the public as a horrible theme park. " "Well, okay." Secretary Chen picked up the n and looked at the name "Richard" on it. He epted the fact that his boss went to the variety show for a beauty with mixed feelings. "Mr. Xu, Mr. Sun''s birthday party will be held at eight o''clock tonight. Would you like to attend it?" Victor picked up the iPad and checked the schedule. After thinking for a while, Richard nodded and said, "Go and pick up a bottle of good wine as a gift." "Okay." At the dinner party, as soon as Richard entered the hall, he immediately attracted the attention of all the youngdies. The timid ones peeked at him in private, and the bold ones looked him up and down without scruple. "Happy birthday, Mr. Sun." Richard walked up to shake hands with Mr. Sun. He winked at David, and he handed the packaged red wine to Mr. Sun''s subordinate. "Mr. Xu, it''s my great honor to have you here. What gift do you bring?" Mr. Sun said happily. The two drank and chatted for a while. Richard went to the bathroom. When he came back to the hall, he didn''t know why the beautiful woman next to him suddenly stumbled and fell into his arms. The beauty blushed and got out of Richard''s arms. She kept apologizing and walked away with her head down. "Bitch, how dare you y this trick!" Many beautiful women around saw this and cursed in a low voice, gritting their teeth. With a smile on his face, Richard raised his eyebrows and walked slowly towards the beauty who had just thrown herself into his arms. The beauty looked at Richard who was approaching. Her face was as red as blood, and her breath suddenly quickened. Chapter 36 Lost Bracelet Chapter 36 Lost Bracelet "Mr. Xu." At first, the woman just wanted to pretend to fall into Richard''s arms and show her face. At that time, she would wander around Richard for a few times to show her existence. Maybe after a while, Richard would like her and start to pursue her. This was just a small fantasy in her heart, but she didn''t expect it toe true so soon. Seeing Richard approaching, she lowered her head and showed her delicate face. Seeing this scene, people in the hall had different feelings. Some were pleased because the businessmen wanted to know what kind of woman he liked. Some were worried those women who wanted to seduce Richard and regretted that they hadn''t taken the initiative just now. Richard walked up to the woman, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You stepped on my shoes just now." There was a chance! The woman was secretly pleased. She lowered her head, took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Richard. "Mr. Xu, this is my business card. I''m sorry to step on your shoes just now. How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow to apologize?" Richard didn''t take the business card from the woman. He smiled and said, "This pair of shoes was customized in Berluti. As a famous family product for a hundred years, Berluti only has a designer and no more than twenty hand-made shoes refiners. It takes more than two hundred and fifty hours to make a pair of shoes. Berluti produced very few of shoes, so they are very expensive. It can be guaranteed that each pair is a work of art. " "Berluti only provides customized tailoring once or twice a year. The foot measuring master from France wille to meet the customized tailoring master ording to his own time and the conditions of the branches all over the world, so he needs to make an appointment in advance. It usually takes about half a year for you to wait for the foot measuring master and then half a year to get the shoes you have customized. One year will pass. " The woman didn''t expect that Richard would introduce her the origin of the shoes. She was confused and asked, "Mr. Xu, what do you mean?" "This pair of shoes cost me fifty thousand dors. You have to pay half of thepensation for stepping on me. Half is twenty five thousand dors. Do you want to pay in one time or in installments? " With his hands in his pockets, Richard looked at the pale woman and smiled arrogantly. Most of the people who could attend Mr. Sun''s birthday party were the daughters of rich families, or some mistresses. Obviously, the woman in front of Richard was a prostitute, and she still had some money in her hand. In order to meet Richard many times, she gritted her teeth and made a decision. "I... I''ll pay the money in installments." "Okay, please contact my Secretary for the details of the installments." After saying that, Richard turned around and left without hesitation. "Hey, Mr. Xu." The woman reached out her hand to grab Richard, but Victor immediately stepped forward to block her sight. He took out his business card and handed it to the woman. "I''m David, Mr. Xu''s secretary. This is my business card. Would you like to pay it in three months or six months?" The woman was stunned. She didn''t expect that the intervals were so short. "Don''t you have twenty- four month intervals or thirty-six month intervals?" Hearing this, Victor almost burst intoughter. He tried his best to control his manner and said like a gentleman, "I''m sorry,dy. This is not a credit card." "Hahaha..." When Richard and David talked to the woman, they didn''t lower their voices. Many women in the hall could not helpughing when they heard them. A womanmented straightforwardly, "I thought that the daughter of some family had a crush on Mr. Xu. It turns out that a toad wants to eat a swan." The woman next to her also echoed, "Yes, yes. Her pitiful and shy appearance is really adorable. Unfortunately, Mr. Xu has a high vision. How could he fall in love with an ordinary girl?" Hearing everyone''s mockery of her, the woman was embarrassed and turned around to run out of the banquet. Because of this farce, many women who wanted to approach Richard couldn''t help but give up this idea. Today''s shooting was over on the set. Director Quentin asked everyone to go back and rest early. There would be more important scenes to shoot tomorrow. After Yumi took some pictures of Muriel and posted them to Muriel''s fans, theymented immediately with ecstasy. Theizen named "I''m three years old today"mented," Oh my God! She''s so handsome! She was much more handsome than the popr young artists recently! Well done. I want to give you a red envelope." Aizen named Muriel''s Fan Sister: Keep a low profile. If someone deliberately screenshots your words and post them on micro-blog, it will lead to a war! Besides, your red envelope is only enough to N?velDrama.Org owns this. buy a candy!" I''m three years old today, "You''re right. I withdrew it." "Yumi, my bracelet is missing. It seems that I have left it on the set. Please go to the set to look for it." Lindy rummaged through her bag and didn''t see the bracelet. "Okay, I''ll go and have a look." As she walked towards the film set, she kept browsing the fans''ments on micro-blog. "Can you take some clear pictures? Although this picture can show Muriel''s handsome face, I want clear pictures as wallpaper." "This is a photo taken by my mobile phone. I also want to take clear photos! Boo... Hoo. "Didn''t you ask for a poster as your wallpaper?" "Can''t I change another one?" Other fans lined up and replied, "Okay, okay! "Haha, it''s so funny." After putting the phone back to her pocket, she bent over to look for the bracelet on the ground, but found nothing along the way to the dressing room. She scratched her head and recalled the ce where Lindy had been today. After searching for more than half an hour, she still couldn''t find the bracelet. She had to go back and ask the staff if anyone saw the bracelet left tomorrow morning. "Yes, everything is ready. I''ve confirmed it. Ah!" As soon as she turned a corner, she almost ran into a man who was walking towards her. The man''s sudden scream startled her. "Ah! I was scared to death. What''s your name? " Max nervously stared at the frightened woman who kept patting her chest. He hung up the phone and looked around secretly. "I''m sorry to scare you. What are you doing on the film set at thiste hour?" "Lindy''s bracelet is lost. Ask me to look for it." "Have you found it?" "I haven''t found it yet. It''s too dark. I don''t know where it has fallen. I have to ask you for help tomorrow." "Well, let''s talk about it tomorrow." "Yes." Looking at the receding figure of Yumi, Max began to feel itchy again. He was so ufortable that his fingernails scratched his skin, leaving traces. Chapter 37 Schemes Chapter 37 Schemes Frightened, Max slipped to a corner where no one was around and hurriedly called back, "Hello, Sunny." "Why did you hang up just now?" Sunny asked nervously. "I met Lindy''s assistant on the phone just now. I was afraid that she might notice something, so I hung up the phone." Max exined. "You are such a fool. You hung up the phone as soon as you saw her? You are so stupid!" Sunny cursed in disappointment. Max was so nervous that he grabbed the hem of his clothes and asked, "Then, what should I do, Sunny?" "Have you finished what I asked you to do?" "Everything is ready." "Then what you should do now is to go back and have a good sleep. The next thing depends on you." Looking at the front page of Muriel''s micro-blog, Sunny was so excited that she couldn''t fall asleep at the thought of what was going to happen. Max felt itchy on his scalp. He scratched hard and said, "Sunny, do you still have goods? I want it again. " Damn it! Sunny cursed in her heart, ''Max used to take one pack every three days, but now it has be one pack each day. Now all my goods have been used up by him.'' Sunnyforted him, "Max, take a hot bath and rx yourself. You are too nervous now. Everything is ready, isn''t it? What are you worried about? Have a good sleep. I''ll give you the goods for a month after it''s done. " "Okay, okay. I''m going to bed now," Max said excitedly. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. After hanging up the phone, Sunny rubbed her temples wearily and drove to the address sent by CEO Wang with sunsses in the evening. When Yumi returned to her room, Lindy was taking a shower in the bathroom. She stood outside the door and shouted, "Lindy, I''ve searched everywhere, but I haven''t found your bracelet." "I found it. It''s on my bedside table. I took it off yesterday and forgot to bring the bracelet with me. I thought I lost it. I called you to ask you toe back. Why didn''t you answer the phone? " Lindy shouted in the bathroom. As soon as Yumi took out her phone from her pocket, she found that there were indeed several missed calls from Lindy. She exined shyly, "I don''t know why my phone was muted, so I didn''t receive any calls." "Okay." Lying on the sofa, Yumi continued to chat with Muriel''s fans. As the assistant of Lindy, she was actually a fan of Muriel. No one would believe it. In Muriel''s room, Catherine turned on theputer and logged in Muriel''s micro-blog. "Now the fastest medium to spread information is micro-blog, which is also a tform for artists and fans to get closer." Catherine opened the micro-blog of an artist and analyzed, "Although this artist''s acting skill is ordinary and his appearance is not as handsome as that of a young man, he can write a good story on micro- blog. These stories have attracted a lot of fans, and his poprity has also increased. Recently, he has been asked to act in many variety shows and movies. " "So the management of micro-blog is of great importance. Now we are neutral in your image and you are going to be a martial artist star, so you don''t have to pretend to be insane on micro-blog to attract fans. Being soft and literate is not suitable for you, or being cynical. " Lydia asked curiously, "What style should she choose?" "A cold and kind path." Catherine thought for a while and said, "This kind of coldness is not superior to others, but your appearance is cold, and when you interact with your fans, you are close to the people. This kind of contrast will be very good." Muriel didn''t fully understand what they were talking about. Catherine asked Muriel to sit down and stepped on the sofa with one foot. She squinted at the camera with a cold and fierce look in her eyes. But because of her thin and long eyes, she looked misty and frivolous. With a ss of cold wine in one hand, she bit the fingers of the other hand. In a ck suit, with silver hair, Muriel''s slightly raised neck formed a sexy curve, making people want to have a bite. Catherine took this photo and posted it on Muriel''s micro-blog, which wrote, "I''m in Storm. Please look forward to it.". Catherine was a top agent who had been in the entertainment circle for many years. With a unique insight, she knew the style of her fans. As expected, as soon as this photo was posted, it immediately caused a sensation. " Ahh, Muriel finally remembered posting on micro-blog! So handsome! I couldn''t wait to even lick the screen. " "I wish to be Muriel''s finger. I wish she was biting me!" "Ah! If she was a man, I want to have his monkey. Honey, you are so handsome." "Get out of here shamelessly. This is my husband. What a handsome face! When Storm is screened, I must do two rounds. No, I want ten rounds!" In less than five minutes, the reposts,ments and likes of this micro-blog quickly exceeded ten thousand. Pointing at the photo, Catherine said to Muriel, "This interaction didn''t need to be so frequent. After a micro-blog update, just reply to thements of two to three fans. In addition to some micro-blog that must be forwarded, you should update micro-blog at least once a week. " Muriel understood and nodded. She didn''t expect that she was so popr now. She clicked on the monkey" won the most thumbs-up. Muriel clicked to reply, "Oh, monkey?" Then she replied to another fan''sment, "Thank you for your support." When the fans saw her quick reply, they became even more enthusiastic. "I can''t believe my eyes." "Oh my God! My husband has replied to myment. She is so cute!"! "She didn''t know what it meant to have a monkey! How adorable she was!" "Oh my God, she has also replied to myment." "Why didn''t you reply to myment?" "Ah, I envy the other fans. I''ll give birth to a monkey for you too." The four used to be the oldest people in Muriel''s fan group, and many fans also paid attention to them. Now that they knew that they had been replied by Muriel, they were so excited that they shouted under Muriel''s micro-blog that they wanted to have a monkey for her. This hot topic quickly became the most popr topic on micro-bog. Many passers-by saw this topic when they were browsing micro-blog. They clicked in and were quickly attracted by the photos of Muriel, and many people turned to fans. Sunny, who had been paying attention to Muriel''s micro-blog, saw that the number of Muriel''s fans had exceeded two million. She took a look at CEO Wang, who was holding her in his arms and sleeping soundly, and held her phone tightly in anger. "Well, I''ll let you be proud for a while." Chapter 38 Strange Scratches Chapter 38 Strange Scratches Catherine looked at her watch and said, "It''s gettingte. Go to bed early." "Okay." After Muriel sent Catherine out, she returned and continued to browse on micro-blog. It was reported by an entertainment news media on micro-blog that tonight at a banquet, Richard behaved intimately with a woman, who was suspected to be Richard''s girlfriend. ''Richard has a girlfriend?'' Muriel''s heart tightened for no reason. She clicked on the picture in the news. Though the picture was a little blurry, she didn''t see any intimate contact between Richard and the woman. It was just that the two of them were a little close. Without hesitation, Muriel took out her phone and texted Richard, "Are you browsing micro-blog?" "Yes. What''s wrong?" Richard replied immediately. "Do you have a girlfriend?" Muriel clicked "send" and sent another message as her fingers danced quickly on the screen, "that woman doesn''t look good. What do you like about her? How long have you been together? When did you get together? I''ve never heard of it! " When Richard was about to tell Muriel that he didn''t have a girlfriend, he received the text continuously. A series of questions made Richard feel that Muriel cared about whether he was single or not. ''Does Muriel also like me?'' After thinking for a while, Richard replied, "I''m single now. Would you like to save me?" "Isn''t that girl your girlfriend?" Well, without getting the answer from Muriel, Richard felt a little disappointed. "It''s just a malicious hype. I met that woman for the first time today. I still don''t know her name." "Oh, I see." After getting the affirmative answer from Richard, Muriel felt relieved. Muriel clicked on thement area to check thements of theizens, only to find a popr N?velDrama.Org ? content. What''s the fuss?" "What girlfriend? Is Richard so low that he likes this kind of women?" Muriel suddenly realized that before she retired from the army, she had spent almost all her time in the army, and rarely contacted Richard. It was not until now that she realized that there were many things that she didn''t know about Richard. "Richard, if you don''t have a girlfriend, do you have someone you like?" Muriel sent the message. After thinking for a while, she deleted the message and input again, "I have an important scene to shoot tomorrow. I''m going to bed. Good night." "Good night." Richard picked up his phone and called Victor. Frowning, Victor picked up his phone from the bedside table. When he saw Richard calling him, he suddenly sat up from the bed without sleepiness. "Hello? Mr. Xu. " "Cancel all the schedule tomorrow morning. Let''s go to Storm crew to check the shooting progress." Richard ordered. "Okay, Mr. Xu." The next day, on the film set, everyone was doing their own work in order. A staff saw Max carrying things aside and grabbed him in confusion. "What''s wrong with you, Max? Why are there so many scratches on your body? " Max lowered his head unnaturally. "I was bitten by mosquitoesst night, and that''s it." "Wow, what mosquito is so bloody? Your hand seemed to be bleeding. Are you allergic to something? " Hearing that, Max''s eyes widened involuntarily. He gasped for breath and smiled awkwardly. "No, No. I''ve been eating noodles recently and I''m not allergic to food. I was just bitten by a few mosquitoes. I''m fine. These stage props are in urgent need. I''ll move them there first. " "Well, then you can go ahead with your work." Hearing the answer, Abraham lowered his head and left quickly with a guilty conscience. The crew member tilted his head in confusion and whispered, "It''s so strange. Why didn''t I see the mosquito bites?" "What are you doing here? Go and move things. " "Okay, I''ll be right there." He left these doubts behind and did not continue to think about it. Max stopped when he saw Muriel who was not far away from him. He moved the things to the ground and lowered his head, trying to reduce his sense of existence. Muriel''s eyes fell on Muriel. Seeing the strange scratches on both sides of his arms, she couldn''t help but keep an eye on him. Now, they were going to shoot a fight between Ms. Leopard and another gang. This scene focused on a series of gorgeous and cool martial arts actions. Due to Muriel''s good martial arts skills, she disyed all the performance that wanted by the martial arts instructor. The more Director Quentin looked at Muriel, the more he liked her. He felt that he had made the most correct decision in his life to let Muriel act. Without Muriel, the shooting progress would be greatly affected by Culbert''s incident and the actor who fit this role couldn''t be found in the entertainment circle at that time. "Okay, everyone, three, two, action." As soon as the director gave the order, Ms. Leopard quickly pped on the chest of a young gangster, who fell to the ground and kept spitting out blood. She grabbed the man''s hand fiercely and broke one of his arms. Although she didn''t use a fatal move, her punch hit the vital parts of the other party, causing the man to roll on the ground in pain and have no ability to fight back. "Cut! Well done. " Director Quentin took off his headphones with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up to Muriel. Muriel helped up the other martial arts artists on the ground, "I''m sorry. Did I control my strength well just now? Did you get hurt? " Muriel''s attitude is neither humble nor arrogant. Modesty will show that you are hypocritical, and arrogance will make people hate you. Therefore, the measurement she was holding now was just right, and it was easy for her to get everyone''s favor. "It''s okay." Director Quentin walked up to Muriel and said, "Well, do you still have energy now?" Muriel bent her arm and smiled, "I ate pineapple today. I have endless strength." Director Quentin patted Muriel''s head with the script and said with a smile, "You little girl, have a rest if you are tired. Don''t be so stubborn." "I''m not pretending to be strong. I''ve been filming for so many days. Don''t you know how strong I am?" Director Quentin saw that Muriel didn''t sweat even after shooting a scene just now, so he was sure that she could continue shooting. He called Lindy over and began to give them instructions on the following shooting. The next scene was that Tessa and Ms. Leopard were escaping from the hunting of the gangsters. They were on the top floor of the abandoned building. In order to escape quickly, they chose to climb down along the bamboo poles surrounding the building. Chapter 39 An Accident Chapter 39 An ident But when they were about to go from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, Tessa broke a bamboo pole and almost fell down from the fourth floor. Ms. Leopard reacted quickly and grabbed her hand. As soon as Tessa steadied herself with her feet hooked by the bamboo pole beside her, the man who chased after them immediately shot Ms. Leopard in the abdomen. Seeing that Tessa had stood firm, Ms. Leopard pulled out her pistol from her waist and shot the man''s head. Covering the wound in her belly, she climbed to the fourth floor with Tessa. They ran to the west of the fourth floor and climbed to the ground quickly from the bamboo pole there. Muriel and Lindy were standing on the top floor, rehearsing the lines with each other. Max was tying the wire for Lindy, and another man was putting a cushion under Muriel''s clothes. There was a pigment bag on the cushion. When Ms. Leopard was shot, the bag of paint would be broken, and then the bloody scene of being shot would be shot. As soon as the paint bag was ready, Max standing next to Muriel immediately went up to tie up the wire for her. Seeing the scratch on his hand, Muriel pretended to be surprised and grabbed his arm and asked, "Oh my God, what''s wrong with your hand?" Max was so nervous that he wanted to withdraw his hand immediately. But when he thought that if he reacted too violently, it would make everyone suspect him, so he could only restrain his violent heartbeat and exin, "It''s bitten by mosquitoes." Lindy looked at Muriel strangely and then looked at Max''s arm. "Mosquitoes here are so horrible. It seems that I have to apply more mosquito repellent." Muriel loosened her grip on Max. Seeing that Muriel and Lindy didn''t say anything, Max let out a sigh of relief and continued to tie up the wire for Muriel. The script covered Muriel''s face, and no one saw the coldness in her eyes. When she grabbed Max''s arm, she saw the obvious needle hole on it. Judging from the expression on his face, he was obviously a drug addict. Muriel and Lindy were ready. Suddenly, there was amotion outside the film set. Director Quentin impatiently took off his headphones and asked, "What are you doing? Who is making a fuss? " A group of girls'' screams were getting closer and closer. Everyone craned their necks out of curiosity and saw Richard walking into the film set under the protection of the crowd. Several security guards closed the door and blocked the sight of the anthomaniac girls. Director Quentin saw the person and hurried to shake hands with Richard. "Mr. Xu, long time no see. Why are you here today?" The producer who was walking beside Richard exined with a smile, "Star Culture has invested a lot of money in Star Culture. Mr. Xu wants to see the shooting." Richard fixed his eyes on Muriel, who was on the top floor of the building under the scorching sun. He frowned and said to the director, "I''ll just sit aside and have a look. You can continue to shoot." "Okay." Director Quentin went back to his seat, put on his headphones and gave orders to the crew. Richard looked at the building worriedly, "Have you taken the safety precautions?" The producer exined, "Safety measures must be put in the first ce. Don''t worry." "Action." "Climb down quickly." Ms. Leopard knocked out a guy on the top floor and followed Tessa to climb down the bamboo pole. When they arrived at the marked spot, Lindy stepped on it, and the bamboo pole broke off. Lindy missed the target and fell down immediately. "Ah!" Lindy was not acting, but screamed nervously in her heart. In a sh, Ms. Leopard grabbed Tessa''s arm, but her scream exposed their position. "They are here. Come here quickly." ording to the script, Lindy stood firm on a bamboo pole, but as soon as her foot touched the bamboo pole, it suddenly broke. How could it be broken? Muriel sensed that something was wrong and was about to call out the the director. The "gangster guy" also climbed down. He took out his gun and shot at the back of Ms. Leopard. "Bang!" The bullet was shot into the back of Muriel, and the severe pain spread all over her nerves. It was a real gun! The man on the top floor looked at the gun in his hand in surprise. He had used all kinds of stage props in many movies, but it was the first time that he had seen a pistol with such a strong vibration. The people on the ground were also shocked by the gunshot. Richard looked at Muriel worriedly. Hanging in the air, Lindy saw the blood oozing from Muriel''s abdomen dripped on her lips. She pursed her lips by ident, and a smell of blood filled her whole taste bud. This, this was not the taste of red pigment, but the taste of blood! Blood was oozing from the corner of Muriel''s mouth. She said in a hoarse voice, "I... I was shot! It''s a real gun! " Lindy looked at the blood at the corner of Muriel''s mouth in disbelief. She really wanted Muriel to tell her that it was her trick. But when she was on the roof just now, she didn''t see Muriel drinking blood. Panicked, Lindy shouted downstairs, "Cut." Noticing that something was wrong, Richard stood up and looked at Muriel with deep eyes. Director Quentin looked at the camera in confusion, "Cut, let''s go to the fourth floor and see what''s wrong." Lindy tried to hook the bamboo poles nearby, but all of them were so fragile that they broke easily when touched by her feet. She screamed again. "Don''t move. I can''t hold on any longer." Muriel''s face turned pale and her belly bled more and more. She began to feel dizzy. ording to the rules, the pistol should be a fake one. At that time, the pigment bag should be broken, but now she was really shot. The bamboo pole, which had only been marked before, was broken with a N?velDrama.Org owns this. single step. Obviously, the murderer was well prepared. Muriel didn''t dare to let her hand go. She was worried that there was something wrong with the wire. If she let her hand go, Lindy would fall from the fourth floor, dead or disabled. Lindy was so frightened that she burst into tears. "Pull us up. Muriel was shot. She bled a lot." As soon as Richard heard that Muriel was shot, he rushed to the building in a hurry. The people on the ground were shocked when they heard Lindy''s words. Director Quentin hurriedly shouted to the crew, "Hurry up and pull Muriel and Lindy up." "Damn it! The wire is broken and can''t be pulled up." "Damn it!" Director Quentin cursed angrily. "Ah!" In a daze, Muriel''s hand slipped. But she immediately came to her senses and held the railing tightly again. The hanging bodies of her and Lindy in the air frightened the people on the ground and screamed. Lindy''s heart beat fast when she saw Muriel holding her hand tightly. If Muriel didn''t catch her, she would fall to death. Looking at Muriel''s pale face, she burst into tears. A man ran from the top floor to the fourth floor, climbed to the bamboo pole in a hurry. He reached out his hand to Lindy. Chapter 40 Ran Red Lights Chapter 40 Ran Red Lights Though Muriel bit on the tip of her tongue hard, her consciousness became weaker and weaker. She tried to open her eyes and look at Lindy hanging below. "Hold my hand." "Okay, hurry up. Someonee to help me. " Muriel and the man tried their best to pull Lindy up, and the other actors next to them also stretched out their hands to grab Lindy''s shoulder and lifted her up. "Okay,e on,e on, we areing up." "Here you are. Okay." The crowd pped their hands cheerfully when they saw the shocking scene. Tears welled up in Lindy''s eyes. She was still standing on a firm bamboo pole, her heart beating fast. Seeing that Lindy was safe and sound, Muriel breathed a sigh of relief. She could no longer hold on to the bamboo pole, and as soon as her slender fingers loosened, she fell down freely. "Ah!" This sudden situation scared the still frightened Lindy to scream. She stretched out her hand to grab Muriel, but it was toote. "Oh my God!" The people downstairs screamed out of fear. "Muriel." Not knowing when, Richard, who had climbed up the bamboo pole, quickly grabbed Muriel''s wrist. "Mr. Xu, you..." The other actors wanted to ask Richard to wait for their help. Unexpectedly, Richard grabbed the railing with one hand and held Muriel in his arms with the other. He moved quickly to the wall and entered the building with a flip. Seeing that Richard had saved Muriel, the actors swallowed their words. Lindy, whose legs were weak, slowly climbed back to the building. Lydia ran up breathlessly and saw Muriel covered in blood. She cried, "What should we do? There is so much blood. Is Muriel..." "Shut up!" Richard red at Lydia and said coldly, "Don''t cry. Get out of my way." Richard held Muriel up, bypassed Lydia and ran downstairs quickly. Feeling the warm blood on his hand, his heart was getting colder and colder. ''No, Muriel, you can''t be hurt! Muriel, hold on. We''ll be there soon.'' "Mr. Xu..." When the people downstairs saw that Richard took Muriel out, they wanted to check her in a hurry. Looking at the blocked road ahead, Richard roared angrily, "Fuck off! Don''t get in the way!" Everyone was frightened by the roar and quickly retreated to both sides, making way for the middle passage. Director Quentin only knew the general situation downstairs, but he didn''t expect that Muriel was so badly injured. Seeing that Muriel was covered in blood, he and the others were frightened and took a deep breath. Victor, who was waiting downstairs, had already run outside and asked the driver to drive in. When he opened the door and saw Richard holding Muriel into the car, he quickly closed the door and rushed to the passenger seat. "Hurry up." Without waiting for Richard''s instruction, the driver immediately elerated the car with all his strength. Richard looked at the weak Muriel in his arms. It was the first time that he had seen her weak side in so many years. He took his suit jacket and pressed the wound, trying to stop the wound from bleeding. He had been looking forward to holding Muriel tightly in his arms one day. He stretched out his hand to touch Muriel''s pale face and murmured sadly, "Muriel, you have to hold on. We will arrive at the hospital soon." Director Quentin, other deputy directors and producers hurriedly got in the car, following behind Richard''s. As Richard came to the film set, many entertainment reporters followed him to see if there was any news to report. However, no one was allowed to enter the film set except the staff, so they could only stay outside idly. When they saw Richard''s caring out not, they kept taking pictures of the business car with cameras. "That''s all. ''Star Culture Invested Storm, Richard''s First Visit To The Crew'' The report can be finished in one hundred words. Nothing is exposed. " The reporter looked at hispanion speechlessly. Hispanions frowned and saw a group of people suddenly run out of the shooting set. Everyone hurriedly got in the car and quickly drove away from the crew. The reporters sensed that something was wrong, so they immediately took pictures of the cars. "Something is wrong! What was going on? It seems that everyone is very anxious. It seems that something must have happened. You go to the film crew and ask if there is any information. I''ll drive there now. " "Okay, I''ll call youter." The green traffic light turned yellow, so the driver released the elerator and stepped on the brake. Richard said, "Don''t stop. Keep driving." Hearing Richard''s words, the driver hurriedly released the brake and continued to rush to the hospital. Seeing this, the reporter who was chasing after Richard''s car hurriedly stopped the car at the traffic N?velDrama.Org ? content. light. He quickly picked up his mobile phone and took a few photos. The reporter whistled cheerfully and sent a message on micro-blog, "I identally saw someone ignore a red light on the way. I took a photo casually and didn''t expect it to be Richard''s car. I seriously suspect that Mr Xu''s driver mistook his car as an airne." He automatically @ the micro-blog of Traffic Police Of Capital City before he posted. The traffic light turned green. Although he failed to keep up with Richard, fortunately, Director Quentin Qi''s car was also waiting for the traffic light, so the reporter drove to follow him. As soon as the post was sent out, it was quickly reposted by many people. Manyizens saw this micro-blog post with dissatisfaction andmented, "Run a red light? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated? I didn''t expect Richard to be so ruthless. " "Hey, you''re going too far. Maybe Richard wasn''t in the car at all. His driver ran the red light by himself. Besides, maybe he ran the red light because of something urgent. " "Ha ha, you must be bribed by him. Don''t try to wash his dirty hands for him. I used to think that Richard was very handsome, but now I''m really disgusted with this news. " "@ Traffic Police Of The Capital City." "Is Richard your father or mother? Do your parents know how crazily you adore Richard? Ha ha. " "I will report it to the police and see if they will deal with it or not." "You can withdraw it. He is a big tax earner. He can suppress the news with a little money. He is just more privileged than us losers." This micro-blog post was quickly reposted crazily byizens. They keptining in thement area. The officer of traffic police in the capital city saw so manyizens @ the official ount. He hurriedly contacted the traffic police in the nearby road and reported the situation to them. Several traffic police received the order and quickly rode on their patrol motorbikes to catch up. The traffic police guarding at the front intersection listened to the report of their colleagues and knew that Richard''s car was about toe up. He nced at the fast driving Bentley, and the traffic police waved the stick in his hand to hint Richard to stop his car. The driver saw the traffic police''s hint and asked hastily, "Mr. Xu, do you want to stop the car?" Chapter 41 The Traffic Police Led The Way Chapter 41 The Traffic Police Led The Way "Pull over. There might be a traffic jam ahead. Let the traffic police lead us through." Victor turned to look at Richard, who was staring at Muriel. Hearing this, the driver mmed on the brake and pulled over beside the traffic police. The police came over with a serious face and was about to ask why they ran the red light all the way. All the windows were rolled down. Victor said to the police anxiously, "Sir, I''m sorry for running the red light." Pointing at Muriel, who was sitting on the back seat, Victor said, "Muriel was shot and is in a critical situation now. We have to send her to the hospital as soon as possible. The road ahead is usually jamed. Can you help dredge the road?" Hearing this, the traffic police hurried to the window of the back seat and saw Richard''s white shirt stained with blood and Muriel''s pale face. The traffic police said to them in a hurry, "I''ll inform the previous traffic police to unblock an emergency passage. You''d better hurry to the hospital." "Thank you very much." Victor nodded and said to the driver, "Hurry up." The traffic police immediately spread out Richard''s special situation, and the traffic police rushed over from all directions to lead the way for Richard''s car. Max looked at the empty film set, swallowed at a loss, and sneaked into the bathroom to close the door. "Sunny, Muriel was shot, but she didn''t fall to death. Now everyone has saved her and sent her to the hospital. I don''t know if Muriel can die." Max typed the words on the screen with his trembling fingers and clicked send. Sunny kept walking back and forth in the room, her fingers rubbing the ne. "Ding, Ding, Ding." The phone on the table rang. She was overjoyed and quickly walked over to pick up the phone. Sunny''s face changed when she read the message. "What''s wrong with you? Didn''t I tell you to do something on the bamboo pole? You didn''t kill her after being shot?" "I did something on the bamboo pole, but Director Quentin changed the script today and asked Lindy to step on it first, so Muriel didn''t fall down. But she was still shot." "Did Lindy fall down?" Sunny sent the message and asked. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. "Lindy didn''t fall down, but was caught by Muriel. But since Muriel was shot, she has been hanging on the pole for a long time because she has been holding Lindy. She has lost a lot of blood. I guess she can''t hold on any longer. " Seeing Max''s reply, Sunny felt relieved. Fortunately, she had made full preparation. When she and Muriel were in the Love of Ghosts and Goblins shooting set, she had seen Muriel''s fighting skills. Sunny was afraid that she couldn''t kill Muriel, so she asked Max to break the wire and rece the fake gun with a real gun. She didn''t believe that Muriel was so lucky that she couldn''t be shot to death! A Bentley stopped sharply in front of the hospital. The piercing sound of brake and whistle attracted the attention of the people in the hospital. They all looked up curiously. Victor had called the hospital in advance, and the medical staff had already been waiting at the door a stretcher. Richard hurriedly ran forward with Muriel in his arms and put her on the stretcher. The medical staff, Richard and the traffic police quickly pushed her into the emergency room. The nurse stopped Richard who was about to enter the emergency room. She closed the door and asked, "Did you get hurt?" Richard was at a loss as if he hadn''t heard of it, so Victor had to exin, "Mr. Xu is not hurt." "What? It seems to be Richard. What happened? Why are there so many traffic police? " A woman pointed at Richard and asked. Herpanion stretched out her neck and looked around, "It seems so. I just checked micro-blog and saw that someone said that Richard ran a red light. The license te of that car was photographed in the photo." They immediately took out their mobile phones and found the micro-blog post. They looked at the car te number in the photo and then looked at the car parking not far away. "It''s that car. It seems that something happened to it, so he ran the red light." "How about we ask the police?" "Okay, let''s go and have a look." The two girls walked shyly to the side of a traffic policeman and asked, "Hello, I want to ask if that is Richard Xu?" "Yes, it''s him." The policeman nodded and said "What happened?" "One of his friends was shot and was sent to the emergency room." "Oh, then he must have run the red light." "Yes." It was not until then that the policeman remembered that he had forgotten to report the situation to the officer. He took out his mobile phone and walked aside to exin the whole story to the officer. When the two girls knew the truth, one of them suggested, "I liked Richard before. I''m disappointed to see this news today. Now that we know that he didn''t mean to run the red light, let''s take a photo and exin it for him on micro-blog. " "Okay." The two of them immediately took a few photos of Richard''s car and the hospital building and together, in case that theizens would not believe it. The two of them posted the photos on micro-blog, "When I came to the hospital to see a doctor, I happened to meet Richard who pushed the hospital stretcher into the emergency room. I didn''t have time to see clearly who was on the bed, so I don''t know who he was. I can understand his behavior of running the red light just now." Theizens were constantly browsing this topic, trying to see how the traffic police in the capital city would deal with it. When they saw this micro-blog post, they immediately clicked on the photos. The two girls had a lot of fans on micro-blog. Obviously, they were not bribed by Richard. The car in the photo was exactly the same as the license te of the model that had just been disclosed. The familiar hospital building and the patient in hospital clothes in the photo clearly showed that they were indeed in the hospital. Richard had a lot of fans. Just now, they were speechless by theizens, and now there was evidence that Richard had to run the red light. The fans began to repost this micro-blog, hoping not to destroy Richard''s reputation. "I knew Richard ran the red light because of an ident. It''s true." "Humph! Even if there is an ident, you can''t run the red light. Everyone should abide by the traffic rules. You idiots make me sick." "I hope you can calm down and wait for the traffic light when something happens to your family. Remember to obey the traffic rules." "Haha, it''s so easy for you to say that. " "There is no dispute about whether he broke thew or not. But the premise of breaking thew is that he has to rush to the hospital. It is indeed forgivable. My father was in aa because of high blood pressure. I was so anxious. If it weren''t for the traffic jam, I would have run the red light. " At this time, the traffic police of the capital city also released a micro-blog post, "It is reported that Richard ran a red light. The traffic police team immediately went to intercept him. Knowing that Richard''s friend was in danger, the police led the way and sent him to the hospital. Although it is excusable to cross the red light, traffic vition is a vition of thew. We have already criticized, educated and punished him. Wee theizens to actively report the vition of the traffic rules. " Chapter 42 Someone Wants Her Dead Chapter 42 Someone Wants Her Dead A reporter was wandering outside the film set. He turned on a recorder and put it into his pocket calmly. When he saw someonee out of the film set, he asked curiously, "Hey, what happened just now? Why are so many peopleing out? They seem to be in a hurry to go somewhere. " Max rubbed his nose and said, "An actress was injured on the film set just now. Everyone is going to the hospital now." "Oh, I see." The reporter''s eyes lit up, "Who was injured? How badly was the person hurt? " Max looked suspiciously at the cheeky man standing in front of him and asked with hesitation, "Who are you? There will be a statement about the details on the official micro-blog. I don''t know. " "Brother, don''t mind. I''m just wondering. Tell me more please." The reporter took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Max. Max couldn''t help swallowing when he saw the cigarette. He had no interest in this kind of ordinary cigarette now. He only liked those with "ingredients". When he saw ordinary cigarettes, he would recall the taboo smell in his mind. Recently, he was more and more addicted to it. Max couldn''t help but scratch his back. He waved his hand and said, "I don''t smoke. I have something else to do. I''m leaving now." After saying that, he immediately stopped a taxi and drove to the hospital. Seeing the taxi speeding away, the reporter frowned and took out the recorder and turned it off. He called hispanions who were driving after him, "Hello, I got a news here. An actress in the Storm crew was injured and sent to the hospital, but I don''t know who was injured. Did you find anything? " "I''m now in the People''s Hospital following Director Quentin''s car. Come here immediately." "Okay." After hanging up the phone, the reporter quietly followed Director Quentin into the elevator. Director Quentin came to the door of the emergency room and asked anxiously, "How is Muriel now? Is she okay? " Victor shook his head and said, "I don''t know." After receiving the notice from Lydia, Catherine immediately drove from thepany to the hospital. She rushed over breathlessly and asked, "How is Muriel?" "She is still in the emergency room. We don''t know what''s going on." Lindy''s assistant Yumi said sadly. Richard turned to Director Quentin and asked angrily, "What''s wrong with your crew! Is this the safe measure you told me? " "Is this your promise to me?" Richard red at the film producer and asked. The producer was so frightened that he didn''t dare to take a deep breath. He stuttered, "Well... Well, I... " Seeing that the producer couldn''t exin clearly, Director Quentin sighed and said, "I''m also surprised to see such an incident happen." Director Quentin red at the man in charge of stage props and asked, "How did you do your work? Last night, I asked you to check the security measures of the props. What on earth have you done? " "Director Qi, I have confirmed everythingst night. I didn''t expect such a thing to happen." The man said in an aggrieved tone, "All our pistols are fake. There is no real gun on the film set, and it is impossible to take it wrong. I don''t know what''s wrong with this pistol." "And the broken bamboo pole should have only been the one marked. I didn''t expect that the surrounding bamboo pole was also broken. Fortunately, Muriel reacted quickly and stopped Lindy. Otherwise, another person would fall down now. " Richard asked with a ferocious look, "The fake gun was reced with a real one. The bamboo pole was broken, and the wire was broken. It seems that this is not an ident, but someone wants to kill Muriel! " "What?" Everyone was shocked. Lindy wiped the tears on her face and stood aside with the support of Yumi. "But Muriel is very popr on the film set. Who will hate her so much?" "Yes, you''re right. She''s nice and having no airs. I really don''t know who would do that." Director Quentin said thoughtfully. A person popped up in Richard''s mind, "Sunny?" The deputy director''s eyes widened. "Really? Our crew has been very strict with the entrance and exit of the strangers. How could Sunny get in? And Sunny won''t hate Muriel so much, will she? " "The only one who has a conflict with Muriel is Sunny. She might have nned the murder. If Sunny can''te in, then someone in the crew is her spy. " Richard looked at Victor and said, "Call the police right now." The deputy director waved his hand and said to Richard hesitantly, "Mr. Xu, I don''t think it''s a good idea. If this kind of thing is exposed to the public, it may have a bad impact on the film crew. " "It''s a big deal now and can''t be covered. It''s better to expose it to the people behind it to increase pressure." Victor exined. Richard looked at Richard and asked, "Is there a surveince camera on the film set? Or is there anyone on the set who took pictures of Muriel''s injury? " "There is no surveince camera on the film set." Director Quentin shook his head helplessly. A manager raised his hand timidly and said, "I did, but the distance is too far and a little blurry." "Let me have a look." Richard picked up his phone and watched the video. Originally, the man only intended to secretly take some live fragments and sell them to gossip entertainment reporters, but now it came in handy. Although it was a little blurry, the situation could still be seen in the video. Richard snorted, "Get out!" They looked at each other in confusion and wanted to see if each other could understand what Richard meant, but they only saw the confused expressions on each other''s faces. "I won''t say it a second time. Get out!" At the corner of the corridor, a figure came out. With a wry smile, he came over and greeted coquettishly, "Mr. Xu, Director Quentin." Richard threw his phone to the reporter. The reporter asked in confusion, "Mr. Xu, what do you mean?" N?velDrama.Org ? content. Victor stepped forward and exined, "You''ll know after you watch the video." Hearing this, the reporter immediately clicked on the video and watched it. The scene wasparable to a big action movie, which made the reporter gasp in horror. "Mr. Xu, I have called the police. They will be here soon." Victor hung up the phone and told Richard the progress of the matter. "Okay." "The fake gun was reced with a real gun, and the props and wire were tampered. It seems that this person is really vicious. I''ll give you the first-hand video. You should know what to do next. " Victor pushed his sses and said calmly. The reporter didn''t expect that he would really meet a big news event. He nodded excitedly and said, "I understand." At this time, the door of the emergency room was pushed open. A nurse quickly walked over and asked, "The injured has hemorrhage and is in urgent need of blood. Who is the type B blood of you?" "I..." Many people present raised their hands and said. "Okay, you guyse with me." Lindy also had type B blood. She raised her foot and was about to donate blood, but the deputy director stopped her in a hurry. "Lindy, don''t donate blood. You are frightened by this kind of thing. You''d better have a good rest." Chapter 43 Investigation Chapter 43 Investigation "No, Muriel did this to save me. If it weren''t for me, if it weren''t for me..." Lindy cried out with guilt. "Lindy, don''t cry. It''s not your fault." The crewforted her. The producer looked at Richard cautiously and suggested, "Mr. Xu, let''s deal with the rest. You can rest assured to deal with other things." Ignoring the producer, Richard looked up at Victor and asked, "Show me the schedule of the next two days." Victor took out the iPad and handed it to Richard. Richard nced at it and said, "Cancel all the meetings and banquets." "Yes, sir." Victor recorded it on the iPad. No one expected that Richard would cancel his busy work for an actress. They were shocked and dared not speak. The reporter''s phone rang. It turned out that his colleague had also arrived at the hospital. He told his colleague where he was. "Mr. Xu, my colleague will be responsible for the following things." He shook the phone in his hand and said, "I''ll go back to thepany to write the news release." "Go ahead." Richard nodded and said. When Max arrived at the hospital, he saw the police caring. His heart jolted and he stopped. Thinking of Sunny''s threat, he gritted his teeth and went in. The police rushed to the hospital as soon as they received the report. After they asked about the general process, they asked, "Did you check the guns and props for thest time?" The man in charge of the stage props nodded and said, "I didn''t go to bed until I finished the inspection "Last night? Why didn''t you do the examination again this morning? " The man said awkwardly, "I checked itst night and there was no problem, so I didn''t check it this morning." "Have you always been like this? Is this your habit? " The man scratched his head and said, "Sort of. s, maybe I''m too conceited. I thought it was very safe without any problem. If I checked it again this morning and found that the props were tampered, this would not have happened. " "Damn it!" The man was so angry with himself that he pped his face. Director Quentin was so angry that he poked the man''s chest with his finger. "What can I say about you?" Original from N?velDrama.Org. "If the murderer knows you have such a habit, the person may be an acquaintance." The policeman said while taking notes on the paper. "Acquaintance? Is it from our crew? " The man was shocked. "It''s highly possible, but it''s not enough before there is solid evidence." The policeman continued to ask, "Who finally touched the pistol and the wire?" "The pistol should be distributed by Chen. The wire should be tied by Max." The man recalled the scene and said. The policeman looked at Director Quentin and asked, "How''s Muriel''s rtionship with the crew? Did she have conflict with anyone? " "Muriel has always been obedient, but she has neverined no matter how hard it was to shoot or howte it was. She didn''t lose her temper and had a good rtionship with the crew. If there is a conflict, there should be no one else except Sunny. " "Sunny? The one who faked falling?" The police thought of the matter that had been widely discussed on the Inte some time ago. Director Quentin nodded and said, "Yes, that''s it. But I don''t know why Sunny framed Muriel on purpose at that time. You have to ask director Hudson. " Richard, who had been looking at the door of the emergency room, said, "As far as I know, the reason why Sunny framed Muriel is because of a joke from Director Quentin." "What are you talking about?" Everyone looked at Richard in surprise. "At that time, director Hudson joked on the set that the substitute was more beautiful than the main actor. This sentence made Sunny hold a grudge against Muriel. She was afraid that she would really be reced by Muriel, so she came up with the idea of pretending to fall to frame Muriel. " These people were not in the Love of Ghosts and Goblins crew, so they didn''t know it. Now hearing what Richard said, they were stunned. The policeman looked at Richard in confusion, "How did you know this?" "I met director Hudson at the banquet by chance. At that time, I had intended to enter the entertainment circle, and this matter was a big one. I asked a few questions casually, and director Hudson told me about it." The policeman nodded and kept writing on the notebook, "Okay, we have a general understanding of the matter. Next, we will ask Hudson and Sunny to take notes respectively, and the colleagues of the trace inspection department will also go to the film set to carry out the trace inspection. At that time, we need your cooperation. " "Okay." Bang, the door of the emergency room was pushed open. Richard hurried forward and asked, "Doctor, how is Muriel?" "The operation was very sessful. The bullet has beenpletely taken out. However, due to excessive blood loss, though the injured are temporarily out of danger, she..." The doctor looked at the people present hesitantly. "What''s wrong?" Richard asked anxiously. The doctor swallowed and shook his head. "Nothing. The injured need to rest quietly. You don''t have to stay here all the time." "Okay, thank you." Director Quentin said to the doctor gratefully. The nurses pushed the bed into the ICU, and they were isted outside. Director Quentin thought for a while and ordered two people to apany Catherine and Lydia to stay here to take care of Muriel. Richard shook his head and said, "No, thanks. Victor and I will stay here. You can do whatever you want." Looking at Richard''s strong attitude, it was hard for everyone to refuse him. As the CEO of XR Group, it was a waste of talent to take care of a patient! Many people thought so. Seeing that Muriel hade out of the operating room, the police put away their records and said to everyone, "Then we are leaving now." "Okay." Max, who had been hiding in the corner and eavesdropping, immediately went downstairs and hailed a taxi back to the film set. He texted Sunny in the taxi, "Muriel is still alive. Director Quentin called the police. Maybe some police wille to youter! Sunny, what should I do? " Seeing the two word "police", Sunny felt a little guilty. She tried her best to calm down and asked, "Is the matter exposed? Did you screw it up? " "No, no, No. the police are investigating if Muriel has any conflict with anyone. They all mentioned your name, so they want to confirm with you." Sunny angrily threw the pillow to the ground andforted, "Don''t worry. ording to what I taught you, they won''t find out anything." Max took a deep breath and looked out of the window at the street passing by. His heart beat faster and faster. Biting her fingernails, Sunny paced restlessly in the room. While walking, sheforted herself, "It''s okay. Sunny, calm down. The police will never discover it. Calm down." Chapter 44 Exposing Themselves Chapter 44 Exposing Themselves Sunny had been giving herself psychological hints, hoping that she wouldn''t be too flustered and expose herself in front of the policemen. "Ding Dong, Ding Dong." An hourter, her doorbell rang. Sunny was so frightened that she jumped up from the sofa. She hurried to the door and looked outside through the peephole. She saw two policemen in uniforms standing at the door. She patted her chest and took a deep breath to calm down. Sunny opened the door and looked at the policemen, "Hello, sir. What can I do for you?" The policemen took a look at Sunny and said, "We have received a case report. Wee here to enquire you about something and make a record. Can we go inside and have a talk? " "Oh, sure. Come in." Sunny opened the door and let the police in. Sunny closed the door and walked to the kitchen. "Have a seat. I''ll get you a ss of water." "Well, don''t bother. We''ll leave after asking something." The policeman sat on the sofa and waved his hand. Sunny said coquettishly, "It''s okay. Wait a moment." The policeman sitting on the sofa saw aptop on the tea table, and the screen showed the home page of Muriel''s micro-blog. He immediately poked his colleague''s arm with his elbow. "What''s wrong?" The policeman who was looking around at Sunny''s house turned around and asked in confusion. "Look!" The policeman lowered his voice and pointed at theputer on the table. "Muriel''s micro-blog?" At this time, Sunny came over with two sses of water. Her smile froze on her face when she saw the This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Sunny looked at the two policemen nervously. She didn''t know if they had found this. She quickly walked over and put the ss beside theputer. When she took back her hand, she knocked over the cup seemingly unintentionally. All the water in the cup was knocked over on theptop, and the screen of theptop was ck in an instant. "Oh, my God!" Sunny took some tissues to wipe herptop in a hurry. The policemen looked at each other meaningfully, and they also picked up a piece of tissue to help Sunny wipe theputer. After a while, Sunny threw the wet tissue into the trash can and said apologetically, "I''m really sorry for what happened. I''ll get you another ss of water." "No, thanks. We are leaving soon." Sunny peeped at theputer, smoothed her hair that fell to her ears, and pretended to be confused. "What do you want to ask me?" The policeman asked straightforwardly, "Miss Sunny, it seems that you are not surprised at all about our arrival." Sunny''s pupils dted slightly. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, I was indeed surprised." "What did you do from eight o''clockst night? Who did you meet? " The policeman took a pen and wrote down the notes. "I watched TV at homest night. I didn''t see anyone." The policeman continued to ask, "What''s the conflict between you and Muriel?" "Well, I have no conflict with her." Sunny was so nervous that shepletely forgot that she had set a trap for Muriel before, and the video and audio had been forwarded to a big website. Sunny''s exnation obviously was a lie. The policeman looked at Sunny and asked, "Then why did you frame Muriel? As far as I know, it''s your first time to know each other. Do you have any conflicts? " Sunny frowned and said, "Because Director Quentin wanted Muriel to rece me, I''m not willing to do such a thing on impulse. I''m also very sorry." "Is there no other reason?" Sunny shook her head and said, "No." "Have you ever heard that Muriel had a conflict with anyone in the film crew?" Sunny thought for a while and replied, "No." "Only you?" The policeman asked, raising his eyebrows. "Yes." Sunny came to herself and hurriedly waved her hand, "I didn''t..." Sunny and the police looked at each other and almost spilled the beans. She quickly changed her words, "I was too impulsive before and received legal punishment. I have realized my mistake." The police kept a record of something on the notebook. Sunny couldn''t see clearly from where she was sitting, so she stretched her neck. "When did you see Muriel for thest time?" "Uh... It was the first andst time I saw her when she was my substitute in the Love of Ghosts and Goblins crew. " After the police finished their notes, they stood up and said, "Okay, thank you for your cooperation. It''s gettingte. We''ll go back first." "Okay, take care." Sunny closed the door and strode to the coffee table to see theptop. She didn''t expect that she had forgotten to put it away. She didn''t know whether the police had seen it or not. She was so angry that she wanted to smash theputer. The policeman came out of the apartment building and looked back at Sunny''s room, "What do you think?" "Sunny is really suspicious. I think she knocked over the cup on purpose." "I think so, too." The police got in the car and drove back to the police station. On the other side of the film set, the trace inspection began to check everything. The police called the members of the stage group one after another to the meeting room for inquiry. Max was in the back row. The more colleagues finished their notes, the more suffering he felt. Finally, the police called out Max''s name. He walked into the meeting room and sat opposite the police. He swallowed nervously. "How long have you been working with this team?" "About five years." "How is the leader of the stage props? Has he ever argued with anyone? " Max tilted his head and thought for a while. Then he shook his head and said, "The group leader is very nice and seldom quarrels with others." "Did you help Muriel and Lindy tie up the wire?" "Yes." Max''s hand under the table gripped the palm of his left hand nervously. "Did you find anything wrong with the wire?" Sweat trickled down Max''s forehead. "I don''t feel anything wrong." When the policeman saw Max sweating, he looked up at the air conditioner on the wall of the office confusedly. It was twenty-two degrees Celsius, and the temperature was very low. "Why are you sweating so much?" Max reached out and wiped his head, only to find that his body was full of sweat. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I''m a little weak, and it''s easy for me to sweat." Without any doubt, the policeman continued, "Where are you from eight o''clockst night to today? What did you do? " "I went back to sleep as soon as I finished workst night. Then I got up early in the morning and began to move the lights out. That''s all I have done." Chapter 45 Breaking News Chapter 45 Breaking News In the ICU, Catherine looked at the weak Muriel with a livid face. She turned to Richard and said, "Mr. Xu, the reporters should have released the video as well. I''ll go back to thepany to make a statement first." "Okay." Richard answered indifferently, staring at Muriel lying on the bed. Catherine told Lydia to take good care of Muriel. Once she found that there was something wrong with Muriel, she should immediately inform the doctor. Lydia nodded solemnly to make sure that she could do it well. Catherine picked up her backpack and was about to leave the hospital. She stopped and turned to look at the back of Richard with confusion. She couldn''t understand why Richard cared so much about a stranger. The outside world was not optimistic about the investment of XR Group. The Storm was the first TV series invested by XR Group. Was it just because XR Group had just acquired Star Culture? Was he worried that this incident would damage the image of XR Group? That''s why Richard paid so much attention to her? Catherine couldn''t figure out what was on Richard''s mind. She looked at her watch and found that it was gettingte. She had to go back to thepany as soon as possible. The Gossip official ount posted a micro-blog post, "Muriel was shot by ident. At about ten o''clock this morning, an ident happened in the Storm crew. An ident happened to the stage props in a shooting scene. Muriel was shot and injured, and Lindy fell off the building. The fake gun turned into a real gun, and the props and the wire were broken. ording to the staff on the spot, it was suspected to be a deliberate murder. At present, the police began to investigate, and Muriel had been sent to the hospital, whose condition was unknown! To feel the breathtaking scene (the video was provided by When manyizens saw this title, the first thought popped up in their minds was ''the title party''. Nowadays, the media''s headlines were getting more and more unscrupulous. They only cared about how to attract eyeballs. People thought that this article that was deliberately posted by some unscrupulous media. After reading theplete micro-blog, everyone was stunned. What? what? Did Muriel really get shot? Life or death was uncertain! This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Muriel had attracted a lot of fans recently, and they immediately clicked on the video to watch. Two figures were climbing down the bamboo pole. Suddenly, Lindy broke the bamboo pole and fell down. People who were watching the video were frightened and screamed, covering their faces. Although the video was a little blurry, everyone still recognized that Muriel reacted quickly and grabbed Lindy. Then there was a loud gunshot, and Muriel''s body trembled on the bamboo pole. Because of the long distance, they couldn''t hear clearly what Muriel and others were talking about, and then they heard the panic scream of Lindy. Lindy kept trying to climb up, but all the bamboos she stepped on were broken. Her wobbling body in the air made the audience nervous. "Fuck! What do the wire men do? Come on, pull her up!" Someizens who watched this video cursed nervously. Director Qi shouted in the video, "the wire stunt is broken!" What the fuck! Theizens who watched the video cursed angrily. Then there was Lindy''s crying for help in the video. The people on the film set were in a mess. The actors on the top floor climbed down to help pull up Lindy, but Muriel fell into aa. Everyone screamed out of fear, only to see that Richard, who had climbed up from nowhere, quickly took Muriel back. In the video, people were shaking and trying to squeeze over to check Muriel''s injury. Richard held Muriel in his arms and ran through the crowd, shouting and yelling. Then the video ended. After watching the video, Muriel''s fans burst into tears. "When I saw Muriel fall down, I couldn''t help crying. Pray! Muriel must be fine! " "What the hell is the crew doing! How could such a stupid mistake happen? " "Fortunately, Richard acted quickly, or I can''t imagine the consequences. That''s why Richard ran the red light. If I were here, I would have sent Muriel to the hospital in an instant! I feel so sorry for her! " "I really can''t imagine that a person who was shot had held the bamboo pole with one hand and Lindy with the other hand for so long when the wire was broken. Muriel, you must be safe! " "I don''t believe it''s true. Muriel,e out to refute the rumor. Post on micro-blog to tell me that you are safe! If it was fake, fuck! The one who spread the rumor! I''ll beat him to death! " "I can''t stand it when I see Lindy crying hysterically. It''s said that a good man deserves a good return. Muriel, you must hold on. We are waiting to watch your TV series and movies! Boo... Hoo... " "Mr. Xu, you''re right. Muriel is in danger now. Why are these people still curious about her! It''s a waste of time to wait there. These idiots pissed me off! " "Who on earth is so vicious that changed the fake gun into a real one and broke the wire and bamboo pole? This is going to kill Muriel and Lindy! If the police catch the murderer, they must shoot him in minutes! " "Why does Muriel have so many things to deal with? She must have a bad character, or others won''t be so hostile to her." "You are talking nonsense! No, your whole family is exploded! " "The one in thement said she was a person of bad character. Is he out of his mind? It''s incredible. " This micro-blog quickly became a sensation. Most of theizens were worried about Muriel, Lindy and med the crew for not taking good security measures. In the meeting room of the film set, the police finished the inquiry notes of all the members of the stage props. He nodded and said to Max, "Okay, thank you for your cooperation." Max heaved a sigh of relief and hurried out of the meeting room. The police collected the materials and took them back to the police station. They looked through the inquiry notes and discussed, "The fingerprints on the pistol have been collected by the inspection department. There are Chen''s, Max''s and other actors'' fingerprints on it. There are fingerprints of Max, Muriel, Lindy and other people on the wire, and the fingerprints of Max and Wu on the bamboo pole. " "Eh? There are Max''s fingerprints in all these three ces? " "The main reason is that there is no surveince camera in the film set. He is from the stage props group. It''s normal to have his fingerprints. It doesn''t mean anything." "Yes, you are right. There might be the murderer''s fingerprints on these props, but maybe the murderer wore gloves, so his fingerprints were not left on the props. " "I always feel that this Sunny is very suspicious. When we two went to investigate today, we found that she was browsing Muriel''s micro-blog on herputer. After she was arrested due to drug addict, Purple Cloud Media terminated the contract with her. Now when she was released from prison, she found that Muriel had be so popr and took away her agent, she is likely to be jealous and want to kill her. " Chapter 46 She Is My Girlfriend Chapter 46 She Is My Girlfriend "Of course, these are just my personal spections. Now there is no substantial evidence to support my assumptions." "At present, Sunny is more suspicious than others. Let''s investigate her and find a breakthrough." "Well, since there is an aplice of the murderer in the Storm crew, their contact is nothing more than Inte or mobile phone. We are going to the telemunicationpany to investigate Sunny''s recent call records and text details. You need to contact thework police. " "Okay, got it!" Everyone arranged the work in an orderly way and quickly began to investigate. Victor and Lydia were outside the ward. Thinking of the doctor who wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, Richard had a bad feeling. He thought for a while and said to Victor, "Stay here and don''t leave." "Okay." Victor nodded. Richard walked to the door of the doctor''s office. The doctor, who had just finished the operation, closed his eyes tiredly and rubbed his temples rhythmically with his hands. Richard raised his hand and knocked on the door. Hearing the noise, the doctor opened his eyes and looked at Richard, "Hello, what can I do for you?" "Just now at the door of the operating room, you seemed to have something to say. I want to know the real condition of Muriel." Richard said coldly. The doctor was a little stunned. He coughed awkwardly and said, "This is rted to the patient''s privacy. I can''t reveal it casually. The operation is very sessful. She should be able to wake up in two days. At that time, I will exin the situation to the patient. Please understand." Hearing the doctor''s words, Richard became more uneasy. He looked at the open door of the office and walked over to close it. Sitting opposite the doctor, Richard said sincerely, "Muriel is my girlfriend. I have the right to know the truth." "What? Girlfriend? " The doctor eximed in surprise. His future girlfriend! Richard continued to lie with his eyes wide open, "Yes, but she doesn''t want the outside to know our rtionship. She has made great efforts in her career. I hope you can keep it a secret from the public." The doctor understood what Richard meant. He looked at Richard, who looked sincere, anxious and distressed, and thought that he really liked Muriel, not just for fun. After hesitating for a while, the doctor made up his mind to tell Richard the truth. He looked at him with This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. deep eyes and said, "When we performed the operation for Muriel, we found a lot of scars on her body. Do you know this?" "I know." In the past, as long as Muriel was on holiday, they would gather together and asionally smell the pungent smell of medicine. When he asked her what happened, she said casually that she was injured by ident during the mission. Although he hadn''t seen the scars on Muriel''s body, he could imagine how Muriel had been through. "How did Muriel get hurt?" There was some questioning in the doctor''s tone. Obviously, he took Richard as a psychopath with a special hobby. Of course, Richard couldn''t tell the doctor the true identity of Muriel. "She likes these weapons. She has been practicing martial arts since childhood, so she has suffered a lot of injuries." "s, the gunshot she suffered today hurt her uterus. In the future, she might... The chance of pregnancy is not high. " Richard gasped and frowned, "And then?" "When Muriel recovers, she can go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to check if she can be cured. There is no other problem." Richard''s brows rxed. "Thank you." The doctor asked in confusion, "Well, Mr. Xu, you don''t seem to care much about it." Richard smiled bitterly, "I can apany her for the rest of my life without children. If she was dead, I... I can''t imagine. " The doctor didn''t expect that Richard would behave like this. He thought that after he told the truth, Richard might be disappointed and want to break up with Muriel. After all, it was very important for a CEO to have an heir. He had seen too many men who had mistresses outside when they were rich. There were not many people as infatuated as Richard. Coming out of the doctor''s office, Richard walked back to Muriel''s ward and saw a noisy group of people there. With a long face, Richard walked over and asked, "What happened?" With a long face, Victor reported, "After the video of Miss Muriel''s injury was posted online, all the media reporters rushed here for an interview, and many fans spontaneously organized to visit her." The security guards stopped the reporters and pushed them in the corridor. The whole hospital was noisy. Many doctors ran over to stop the reporters, but the excited reporters didn''t listen at all. Richard walked forward and scolded coldly, "This is the hospital. Don''t make noise. If you don''t get out of here, I''ll kick yourpany out of the capital city!" Hearing Richard''s words, everyone couldn''t help shivering. Everyone swallowed nervously and quickly left the hospital. Richard turned to Victor seriously and said, "Send some people to guard here immediately. Don''t let anyone disturb Muriel''s rest." "Yes, sir!" Victor immediately walked aside and called several bodyguards. The journalists who were driven out of the hospital failed to take the photos of Muriel lying on the bed. They were blocked in the corridor and could only take a few photos of the door of the ward. Many of the photos were even blurred, and there were very few photos that could be used. "Hey, have you taken any photos?" A reporter nudged hispanion''s arm and asked. "Damn it! I didn''t get any picture of her. Those security guards kept blocking me and I couldn''t get through at all." "s, I don''t know what news to post." "Do you think if they try their best to stop us, it means Muriel is dead? They didn''t dare to post the news, afraid of being condemned byizens. When the news is over, will they discusspensation with Muriel''s family in private? " The reporter patted his forehead. The more he said, the more certain it was. "Dude, it''s possible. What if Muriel is still alive when we write this?" "Bro, are you new here? When you write it, you use the words "suspected" or "possible". As long as we don''t say absolute, no one else can me us. " "Hey, buddy, you have more ways. Let''s write that Muriel is suspected to be dead. At that time, the stopping us with a guilty conscience. That''s why we are so suspicious. We just want to find out the truth. At that time, theizens will definitely be on our side. " "It''s so high!" The man was so happy that he immediately logged in micro-blog. Chapter 47 Official Refutation Chapter 47 Official Refutation Soon, they took a few photos of the door of the ward and posted them on micro-blog, "Muriel seems to be dead. Just now, we went to the hospital to interview the Storm crew about the injury of Muriel, but we were strongly refused, and even someone came to push us. Muriel seemed to be dead. Someone heard her assistant crying." This micro-blog post immediately broke many fans'' hearts. "No, I don''t believe it. How could it be possible! I just fell in love with Muriel! Boo... Hoo... " "Why didn''t the crew ept the interview? Don''t you dare to tell us the truth? " "Why can''t you check the stage props before shooting? What on earth did the crew do? If the problem could be found out in advance, then Muriel would not die! Your carelessness killed a person, understand? " "I seriously suspect that the murderer is in the group of props. If they can check, they could find that there is something wrong with the props, but they did not find out. The murderer must be in the crew!" "Woo... I wish there was no pain in heaven." "Why hasn''t the film crew issued a statement yet? Is Muriel really dead?" Uneasy at home, Sunny kept browsing the topics of Muriel. When she saw that Muriel was suspected to be dead, she jumped up happily and jumped on the sofa. "Dead, dead, finally dead! Hahaha! " When Lydia, who was browsing the micro-blog, saw this message, she stood up angrily, walked to Richard and handed the phone to him. "Mr. Xu, look, they are actually spreading rumors. It''s so hateful!" The word "death" on the phone screen stung Richard''s heart. He gritted his teeth and said to Victor, "Get the surveince video from the hospital and post it online to find out who is gossiping!" "Yes, sir!" Back to thepany, Catherine quickly came to the office of the micro-blog editor and asked, "Has the media reported on micro-blog that Muriel was shot?" "This micro-blog has been posted for about twenty minutes. Miss Catherine, is it true?" The editor in chief still didn''t want to believe it. She would rather think that someone was spreading the rumor. Catherine was a little confused why the news was released sote, but her first task was to write a statement. She nodded and said, "It''s true." "What? Is Muriel really dead? " "What? Dead? " Catherine looked at the editor in chief in shock. Noticing that Catherine didn''t know it, the editor opened the news on micro-blog and said, "This is it!" After ncing around, Catherine immediately dialed Lydia''s number and asked seriously, "How is Muriel?" "Muriel is still in aa." Hearing the news that Muriel was not dead, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief. Then she asked, "Why is it said on the Inte that Muriel is dead?" Lydia angrily told Catherine that the reporters had made a scene at the door of the ward. She knew all the reasons and nodded, "Well, I see. You stay in the hospital and take good care of her." Lydia really wanted to say that Victor was omnipotent. She was of no use to him at all. She said obediently, "Yes, I will take good care of Muriel." After hanging up the phone, Catherine said to the editor, "Now you need to issue a statement as I say." "Okay." Many fans were unwilling to ept the death of Muriel. They ran to the official ount of Purple Cloud Media and asked it to refute the rumor. Soon they saw Purple Cloud Media post on micro-blog. "This morning, Muriel was shot in the abdomen during the shooting of Storm. The crew sent her to the hospital as soon as possible. After doctors'' rescue, the bullet had been taken out, and her life was temporarily out of danger. Thank the film crew and doctors for rescuing Muriel as soon as she was injured, and thank the fans and friends who care about Muriel. We will try our best to take care of Muriel and help her recover as soon as possible! Please don''t spontaneously organize a visit, and please don''t spread rumors. Please give Muriel a good rest. Thank you again." Seeing the news of Muriel''s death, Lindy called Lydia in a hurry and got the news that Muriel was temporarily out of danger in aa. She angrily posted on micro-blog, "Muriel is out of danger. Please don''t make a fuss about it! Could you let her have a good rest and not disturb her?" N?velDrama.Org owns this. After logged in the micro-blog, Yumi found that she was mentioned by a group of people, because she could often post news about Muriel as soon as possible. Everyone roughly guessed that she should be a member of the circle. Many people asked her about Muriel''s condition. She replied online in a hurry, "Muriel''s operation is very sessful. She should be able to wake up in two days." "That damn reporter said my ''husband'' was dead, which almost made me blind." "They don''t know the truth. It''s too much to say on the Inte! Did he want to lead the battle! Let''s go and attack their micro-blog. " Seeing the posts of Purple Cloud Media and Lindy, the fans immediately asked the reporters to apologize to Muriel and the crew. The two reporters had been paying attention to thements under their micro-blog. When they saw the official refutation and fans'' abuse, they posted on micro-blog that the film crew reacted too fiercely and there was a slight physical conflict between the two sides. Then they doubted if Muriel would die. They spoke for the truth and justice. Hearing their exnation, many fans stood on their side. At this time, the Storm crew also issued an apology statement, and once again reminded at the end of the post that please don''t spontaneously organize a visit, and please don''t spread rumors and give Muriel a full rest. There was a link attached at the end. Everyone clicked it curiously and saw Richard and others standing at the door of the ward. After Richard left, many of Muriel''s fans visited the hospital. They were sensible. After Lydia exined to them, they left. A group of reporters came behind them. In the video, Lydia and Victor said something to them, but they were unwilling to leave. They even nned to pass by Lydia and walk towards the door of the ward. Lydia and Victor opened their arms to stop them, and the security guards quickly ran over to stop the reporters. They didn''t leave until Richard came over and said something to the reporters. The video came out in time. It was a p in the face! "These reporters are shameless! They are twisting the truth. " "As a medical student, I don''t want to make a scene in the hospital. These reporters are really low." "Aren''t the people in the video Richard, Richard''s secretary and Muriel''s assistant? Where is the crew? Does it have anything to do with the crew? " "Nowadays, the reporters always want to make breaking news. They quarreled in the hospital and poured dirty water everywhere. And they even said they were wronged. Do you know that I''m blushing for you?" Chapter 48 She Has To Die Chapter 48 She Has To Die On the film set, Director Quentin called the leader of the stage group to his office and scolded him angrily, "We have worked together for so long. You should know my temper. Before the shooting, I asked if there was any problem with the safety precautions. Is this what you told me? It''s a big problem. " The group leader of the stage knew that he was in the wrong. If he was more rigorous, these things wouldn''t have happened today. "You are too arrogant and conceited. You thought there was absolutely no problem, but someone took advantage of it. s, I really don''t know what to say about you. Forget it. You can leave. " Director Quentin said disappointedly. "What? Director Quentin, what do you mean? " The leader of the stage asked in a panic. "Let''s terminate the cooperation." "Director Quentin, you can''t do this. We have a contract. You can''t break it." Director Quentin shook his head helplessly, "It was caused by your negligence. I have to give Muriel and Lindy an exnation. What I need is a serious partner, not a careless one." The group leader still wanted to plead with Director Quentin. But Director Quentin had a splitting headache. He waved his hand and asked him to leave as soon as possible. He didn''t want to listen to a word. Many officials issued a statement together to condemn the unscrupulous reporters, and the surveince video of the hospital showed their ugly faces perfectly. If there had been someone who spoke for the reporters just now, now seeing these posts, everyone immediately cursed under the two reporters'' micro-blog. After knowing Muriel''s death, Sunny jumped around in high spirits. However, not long after, she saw the refutation post of Purple Cloud Media. She looked through these posts in disbelief. It was said that Muriel was still alive and Muriel''s operation was sessful and out of danger. "Ah! Ah! Why don''t you die? Why don''t you die? " Sunny was so angry that she kicked all the pillows on the sofa to the floor. "Ding, Ding, Ding." Sunny''s phone on the tea table rang. It was Max calling, which made her more furious. "Hello!" Sunny held the phone tightly and said in an unfriendly tone. "Sunny, I''ve done all the things for you. Muriel is dead, too. Can you give me the drugs? " Max ttered. He didn''t log in to micro-blog, so he didn''t know about the official refutation. He thought that Muriel was really dead. Sunny grounded her teeth and scolded, "How did you do it! Muriel is still alive! Rubbish! " "What? Muriel is dead. I saw... " N?velDrama.Org ? content. "The official micro-blog of Purple Cloud Media and Storm have refuted the rumor. It was deliberately written by the reporters in order to attract eyeballs! I''m so pissed off. She''s still alive! " Hearing the vicious voice from the telephone receiver in his hand, Max swallowed with fear and stammered, "Then, can you give me some drugs? I''ve put up with it for a long time. I''m itching more and more. Please, Sunny! " "No, I won''t give it to you until you have done it!" Max pulled a long face and said, "Sunny, I''ve done what you asked me to do. Can you give it to me?" Sunny opened her bag and looked at the things in it. After thinking for a while, she said, "Come to my apartment." "Okay, okay. Thank you, Sunny. Thank you." After hanging up the phone, Max hailed a taxi to Sunny''s apartment. About half an hourter, Sunny''s doorbell rang. She looked through the peephole and confirmed that it was Max standing outside, so she opened the door and let him in as soon as possible. Max nodded and bowed to Sunny, "Sister, I''ll leave as soon as I get the goods. I won''t bother you anymore." Sunny pointed at the sofa next to her and said, "Sit down." Max looked at the things on the ground and sat on the sofa cautiously. Sunny opened her bag, took out an injection tube and handed it to Max, who took it happily. When he was about to say thanks to Sunny, Sunny said coldly, "This needle is not for you." "What?" Max looked at Sunny in confusion. Sunny continued, "You sneak into Muriel''s ward tonight and injected the liquid into her body." Sunny frowned and looked at the dumbfounded Max. In fact, this syringe was not prepared for Muriel at the beginning, but for Max. If Muriel could die smoothly ording to her n, this syringe would be used as a reward and handed over to Max. The syringe was filled with high-purity and excessive drugs. It was Max who knew the truth of Muriel''s death. In order not to leak it out, Max had to die. At that time, if Max who thought it was a low purity drug injected the drug into his vein, he would be poisoned to death in less than an hour. But now that Muriel was still alive, let Max inject this syringe into Muriel''s body! She lost her reputation because of drug abuse. Then let the drug take Muriel to hell! Max came to his senses and pushed the syringe out. "No, I can''t. There is a surveince video in the hospital. If something happens to Muriel, they can recognize me by watching the surveince video." Sunny said with disdain, "The surveince video doesn''t matter. You sneaked in this middle of the night and put on more clothes to make yourself look bloated. Then who can recognize you with a hat on your head?" Max thought Sunny''s suggestion was feasible, but he was afraid that he didn''t dare to take the risk. Seeing that Max was a little hesitant, Sunny put the syringe into his hand again and said, "Everyone was asleep in the early morning, and no one would find you. You just need to enter mu Muriel''s ward quickly and inject the drugs into her body, and then you can leave. After that, I can provide you with the goods for a year without pay! " Sunny thought to herself, ''As long as you are still alive.'' Max felt the itch all over his body, and his eyes were attracted by the needle tubing in his hand. Seeing the expression on his face, Sunny immediately knew what he was thinking. "Humph, I can advise you not to inject this drug." Max didn''t expect that his secret was exposed. He asked sheepishly, "What''s wrong?" "The purity of this goods is very high. As long as the needle is injected into some body, it will take less than an hour to die." Sunny whispered in Max''s ear. Hearing this, Max couldn''t help trembling. He looked at the syringe in his hand in fear. Fortunately, he didn''t make the decision easily, or he would die soon. Sunny patted him on the back and said in a low voice, "Don''t be nervous. You can do it." Thinking that he could ask Sunny for drugs without pay for a year, Max was a little tempted. After hesitating for a while on the sofa, he finally made up his mind. "Okay." After Max left, Sunny closed the door with acent smile on her face. Chapter 49 Give Yourself Away Chapter 49 Give Yourself Away Sitting by Muriel''s bed, Richard kept staring at her pale face, which made him feel as if a knife was piercing his heart. He couldn''t help but shed tears. Muriel woke up and saw Richard''s red eyes. She was surprised and wanted to ask Richard what happened, but found that she was too weak to speak at all. When Richard saw that Muriel had woken up, he hurriedly approached her and asked, "Do you feel ufortable?" Muriel''s lips moved slightly and she couldn''t speak, but Richard could tell from her mouth shape that she was fine. Seeing that Muriel couldn''t make a sound, Richard''s heart sank and hurriedly pressed the call light at the bedside. When the nurses and doctors in the office saw the call light, they quickly walked over, pushed the door open and asked, "What''s wrong? ''What? Muriel woke up? '' The doctor had thought that Muriel wouldn''t wake up until the day after tomorrow, but he didn''t expect that she would wake up in the evening on the day of the operation. It was really surprising to him. Richard hurriedly said to the doctor, "Muriel can''t make a sound. Doctor, please have a look." The doctor and nurse immediately checked up Muriel, and all her physical conditions were normal. "She just woke up and is too weak to speak. She will be fine in a few days." "Thank you." "You''re wee." The doctor put away the record board and saw that Richard had been keeping an eye on Muriel. Even though he knew that she was unlikely to get pregnant in the future, he still didn''t give up on her. The doctor knew that Richard was infatuated with her, so he couldn''t help but sigh. "What''s wrong?" The nurse who was walking beside felt the doctor was a little strange. The doctor shook his head and said, "Nothing." Silence returned to the ward again. It was the first time that Muriel had seen such an expression on Richard''s face. Richard, who had always been confident that he would protect her for the rest of his life, had such a fragile moment because of her. Muriel frowned and moved her lips apologetically, "I''m sorry." Richard could see the shape of Muriel''s mouth. He reached out his hand and gently smoothed Muriel''s hair hanging by her cheek. "You know you''re sorry. Be careful next time, okay? Don''t make me worry about you anymore." Muriel opened and closed her thin lips, "I will. Aren''t you going back to work?" "I''ll leave soon. Don''t say anything more. Have a good rest. I''ll be here with you." Muriel winked at Richard with a smile and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, there was a dead silence in the hospital. asionally, a strong wind blew the leaves and made some noise. Max was wearing a loose and big hoodie, and the hood was pulled up and covered on his head. He was wearing a lot of coat inside and a pair of high-heeled shoes. If the staff of the crew looked at him from behind, they could hardly recognize him. In the quiet hospital building, only his footsteps could be heard. He nervously grabbed the syringe hidden at the sleeve of his clothes. He always felt that someone was following him, but when he suddenly looked back, there was no one. This made him even more scared. He quickened his pace towards Muriel''s ward. In the morning, when the reporters were intercepted by the security guards in the hospital, they didn''t take a picture of Muriel''s face, but took a picture of the ward number. Judging from the exposed ward number, Max knew where Muriel''s ward was. "Just give her an injection." Maxforted himself. Max lowered his head and pulled the hood over his head worriedly. In this way, it would be difficult for the police to see her face if they checked the surveince video. Seeing the ward number getting closer and closer, Max became more and more nervous. 1258! Then he turned the corner and saw the room 1259! Max turned a corner with his heart beating fast, and his hands and feet suddenly became cold. He saw two men in ck standing at the door of Muriel''s ward. He was frightened and took a step back. When the man in ck saw him, he asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?" Max exined in a hurry, "Well, I have lost my way." Before the man in ck could answer, he immediately turned around and left, with sweat all over his hands and feet. The man in ck stared at the back of Max suspiciously. No one would wear so many clothes in such a hot day. Besides, he was pulling up the hood all over his head. Wasn''t he afraid of being suffocated to death? "Wait a minute." The man in ck stepped forward and said. Hearing the man''s voice, Max immediately ran away. Seeing this, the man in ck immediately said to hispanion, "I''ll go after him. You stay here and don''t leave." "Okay." These bodyguards were all good at it. He ran to catch up with Max and immediately threw him down. The injection syringe rolled out of Max''s hand and fell on the floor. The sound of chasing and shouting immediately awakened all the patients on the whole floor. Muriel opened her eyes and saw that Richard was still sitting next to her. She tried to make a sound and asked in a hoarse voice, "What''s wrong outside?" Staring coldly at the door of the ward, Richard touched Muriel''s hair and said softly, "There''s a mouse "Okay." With the presence of Richard, Muriel closed her eyes and fell asleep again. The men in ck had already subdued Max. Max struggled and scolded, "Why do you catch me? Let go of me! Are you insane? " Victor came over and asked, "What happened?" "Mr. Victor, this man sneaked to the door of the ward and ran away as soon as he saw us. I felt something wrong and followed him." The man in ck reported to Victor. Seeing the syringe on the ground, Victor picked it up and asked in confusion, "What''s this?" Max wished he could bump into the floor and die. He kept shouting in his heart, "It''s all over!" The man in ck lifted up the Max''s hoodie and saw a few more clothes inside. Seeing this, Victor immediately ordered, "Call the police." "Yes, sir!" Hearing this, Max struggled nervously. "Why do you arrest me? I don''t know you. Let go of me quickly." "What''s this?" Victor put the syringe in front of Max and asked. Max shook his head crazily and said, "That''s not mine. I don''t know whose it is. I don''t know what it is!" Hearing the noise, doctors and nurses ran over to ask what had happened. Victor gave a general exnation. If Max continued to scream here, it would make the patients in the hospital unable to rest. Looking at the flustered Max, Victor immediately followed the bodyguard to the police station. Hearing the noise outside gradually went away, Richard pulled up the quilt and covered Muriel''s chest. Then he walked out slowly and closed the door. He looked at another bodyguard and asked in a low voice, "What happened just now?" Chapter 50 Keep Silent Chapter 50 Keep Silent The bodyguard looked into the ward and whispered what had just happened to Richard. Richard understood and nodded. He opened the door of the ward slowly and walked to Muriel''s bed to continue to guard her. He was usually busy with his work while Muriel had to stay in the shooting set all the time. They could only text or call each other every day, so he cherished the opportunity of being alone with her. In the police station of capital city, the policeman on duty saw a tall man escorting a man in strange clothes in. Max was held like a little bird by the bodyguards. Looking at the police in the police station, he kept crying. He knew that his life was over. Confused, the policeman stepped forward and asked, "What''s wrong?" Victor, who followed the bodyguards, walked over and said to the policeman, "Hello, I''m Victor, Secretary of the Chairman of XR Group." The policeman had gone to the hospital to learn some basic information about Muriel, so he recognized Victor at a nce. He pointed at the man whose hands were tied behind him and asked, "Who is this?" Victor pushed his sses and said, "ording to our observation, it is obvious that someone deliberately wanted to kill Muriel, so our CEO arranged two bodyguards outside the ward. At about three o''clock in the early morning just now, the man sneaked to the door of Muriel''s ward. The bodyguard walked up to him and asked him about it, but he ran away. The bodyguard felt something wrong and caught him up, and then this thing fell out of his arms. " The policeman looked at the thing in Victor''s hand and his heart jolted. He had been a policeman for so many years, and this kind of syringe was the most familiar to him. The policeman said in a low voice, "It might be drugs." Victor was a little stunned. Then he handed the syringe and Max to the police and said, "Please, I think he must have something to do with the shooting of Muriel." After handing Max to the police, Victor asked the bodyguards to go back to the hospital on their own. He nned to wait for the interrogation results at the police station. In the interrogation room, Max sat on the chair with his head down, making it difficult to see his expression. The policeman had handed the syringe to his colleague to check if there was any drug in it. He looked at Max and asked, "What''s your name?" Max sat there, dejected. His eyes were empty and he didn''t say anything. "Say something. If the syringe does contain drugs, Whoever illegally holds more than two hundred grams of opium, less than one kilo of heroin or more than ten grams of and less than fifty grams of ice or arge amount of other drugs, shall be sentenced to not more than three years'' imprisonment, detention or control, and shall also be fined." "Those who cover up, hide, transfer, conceal drugs shall be sentenced to less than three years, detention or public control, and those of serious crimes shall be sentenced to more than three years and less than ten years." The policeman listed thew terms one after another, which made Max''s heart sink. The policeman changed the subject, "For the confession, we should consider the stage, degree, seriousness of the crime and degree of repentance of the crime, and determine the range of leniency. If you confess your crime honestly and avoid serious consequences, you can reduce the base sentence by twenty percent to fifty percent. " "It''s good for you to confess earlier." Max lowered his head and sped his fingers nervously. He really didn''t know if he should say it or not. It was true that if he confessed earlier, he might be able tomute the sentence, but he was chance of getting amuted sentence at all. At the thought of his death, Max shut up immediately. The policeman looked at him helplessly. He almost seeded in persuading him, but Max actually wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. "Knock, knock, knock." A policeman pushed the door open and handed the examination result to him. N?velDrama.Org owns this. The test report said, "high purity heroin." "The test result hase out. The syringe is filled with high-purity heroin. Who gave you this? What are you going to do with this syringe? Say something! " Max lowered his head. He didn''t want to say or dare to say. He was afraid that if he did, he would never have a chance to live again. Now there was no evidence to prove that he had tampered with the props. At most, it was a charge of hiding poison, and he should be released from prison for a few months or years. Three hours had passed, and the police were all thirsty for speaking too much. Max just lowered his head and said nothing. The policeman rubbed his eyebrows and went to the water dispenser to get some water. A colleague passing by asked, "What''s wrong? You look so tired. I bought more breakfast today. Would you like to have one? " The policeman took a small steamed bun from the bag, took a bite and said vaguely, "In the middle of the night, XR Group sent two bodyguards to guard the ward of Muriel and then caught a sneaky person who brought an injection needle of high purity drug. We''ve been interrogating him for hours, but he didn''t say a word. He''s so annoying. " "I''ll go to the interrogation room with you." The two of them put a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry and started the interrogation. As soon as the policeman entered the interrogation room, he immediately recognized Max sitting on the chair. "Hey, you seem to belong to the Storm staff!" Max thought to himself, ''Damn it! I didn''t expect to be recognized so soon.'' "Have you met him before?" The policeman asked in confusion. The colleague nodded and said, "I seemed to have taken a record of him when I went to the Storm crew." Director Quentin was woken up by the phone in the early morning. He picked up the phone and heard that the police had caught a suspicious person, but the police refused to speak and asked him to identify the person. Director Quentin hurriedly got up from the bed, washed up, and then drove to the police station. Led by the police, he saw Max with a haggard face and strange clothes. Director Quentin pointed at Max with his trembling fingers and asked, "Why are you here, Max?" Max lowered his head sadly. He used to be a dutiful and good employee, but now he was controlled by Sunny. He had no choice but to let her do whatever she wanted. He was too ashamed to face Director Quentin. The policeman looked at Director Quentin and asked, "Is this man of your crew?" Director Quentin nodded, "Yes, Max works in our team. Did he do something on the stage props? " As soon as he finished his words, Director Quentin was so excited that he wanted to rush over and beat him. He wanted to ask him what kind of conflict he had with Muriel. He was so vicious. "Calm down, Director Quentin. There is no direct evidence to prove that Max did it. Don''t worry." The policeman pulled Director Quentin back tofort him. The interrogation room was quiet again. The policeman asked, "Where did you get the drugs? Why did you take drugs to Muriel''s ward in the middle of the night? Your fingerprints are all on the three props. At present, you are the most suspected. Do you understand? " Chapter 51 At A Loss Chapter 51 At A Loss All of a sudden, Max shed tears of regret. He sniffed and whispered, "I don''t know. I know nothing." It was a good thing that Max was willing to speak. The police couldn''t torture him, they could only rely on interrogations to lead him to confess. At this time, another police pushed the door of the interrogation room open and said excitedly, "Great, I have found it." "What did you find out?" "As soon as the telmunicationpany opened, I asked them to print out the call records and text messages of Sunny in the past three months. I found that there is a phone number that has the most frequent interaction with her this month. I asked the staff to check the owner of this number. " Max looked at the two policemen in horror. He and Sunny had been secretly contacting each other! The policeman asked in a hurry, "Who is the owner?" "It''s him!" The policeman pointed at Max and said, "Max." "Okay, bring Sunny here for interrogation." "Okay." After the colleague left, the policeman put the call log in front of Max and said, "You still don''t want to say anything until now? How do you exin this? I have a rough look. You have made at least a dozen calls a day. What do you want to talk about? Why do you have to talk for so long? " Max panicked. "We grew up in the same hometown. She asked me to go back to her hometown to help her bring her things." "Bring what?" "Bring, bring..." Max''s eyes kept rolling, and his forehead was covered with sweat. "She asked me to bring her a preserved duck necks." The policeman tried hard to hold back hisughter and continued to ask Max, "Just to for preserved duck necks? Why didn''t she contact her parents? Why does she have to contact you? " Max didn''t know how to answer the police''s question. "I don''t know either. Maybe her parents are not in their hometown." "How did you know each other?" "I... I have a friend who used to y a minor role in Love of Ghosts and Goblins and I met Sunny when I went to find my friend." "What''s your friend''s name? I''m going to ask if there is really this person in the film crew." Max held on awkwardly and said, "My friend is just a nobody. Maybe no one knows him even if I tell you his name." "No matter how small the role is, you will get the reward, won''t you? I don''t believe that the financial department of the film crew doesn''t know the cash flow clearly. If the cash is sent, it will generally require a signature, and if it is a bank transfer, it will be more convenient to check. " "¡­¡­" Seeing Max shut up again, the policeman mmed the notebook on the table and said with a bang, "I don''t have time to waste on you. Tell me what happened as soon as possible, or tell me some useful information. In this way, you may get amuted sentence." "Ding Dong, Ding Dong." The police rang the doorbell for a long time, but still didn''t see Sunny open the door. They knocked hard on the door and asked, "Is anyone home? Is anyone here? " "Go to the security booth and check if Sunny has left the apartment. I''ll stay here." "Okay." After a while, he received a call from his colleague, who confirmed that Sunny had driven away from the apartmentst night. The clue was cut off again. When Sunny''s assistant came back from shopping, she saw two policemen standing at the door of her house. She was about to bypass the two policemen, but they went straight to her and asked, "Excuse me, are you Sunny''s assistant?" When she heard the name of Sunny, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Perhaps it was This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. because of her psychological reasons, she felt a dull pain in her scalp as she had felt in the ward that day. "I was her former assistant, not now." "At present, Sunny is suspected of murder. We want to ask you some questions." "Murder? Humph, it was indeed her who nned Muriel''s murder. " "Oh? What do you mean by that? " The policeman asked curiously. The assistant spit out all the things about Sunny, such as her social status, backstage scheming and so on. "With her character, how can she ept that Muriel is better than her? It''s not surprising that she will revenge on Muriel." "Do you know the source of Sunny''s drugs?" "She must have asked CEO Wang for it, but I don''t know the details. Every time she feels ufortable, I will drive her to CEO Wang." The assistant hurriedly waved her hand and exined, "I''ve never been addicted to drugs. I didn''t know it before. I''m innocent." "Don''t be nervous. We are just asking about Sunny. Do you know CEO Wang''s phone number or address?" "I don''t know, but every time Sunny asked me to drive to CEO Wang''s vi in the suburb." The policeman went to CEO Wang''s vi as soon as he got the specific address. If Sunny''s drugs were all taken from CEO Wang''s hands, then there might be drugs in his house. In order not to alert the suspect, the police called a courier toe with him to the gate ofCEO Wang''s vi. "Ding Dong, Ding Dong." The doorbell kept ringing. "Who is it? You kept ringing the doorbell in the early morning. Are you going to die? " On the floor of the living room, a woman was woken up. She casually pulled a bathrobe to cover herself and walked to the door in a daze. She didn''t know if it was because she hadn''t woken up yet that she didn''t see anyone in the cat''s eye. She asked in a loud voice, "Who is it?" "Here is your delivery." A man''s voice came from outside. It turned out to be a delivery. The woman opened the door a little, looked at the delivery man with sleepy eyes and said, "Where is the package? I''ll sign it quickly and go back to sleep." The delivery man looked at the coquettish woman and took a step back awkwardly. The police hiding at the door immediately stood against the door and asked. "We are police. Is CEO Wang here?" When the woman saw the policemen in uniform, her face turned pale. She staggered back a few steps at a loss and stepped on a red wine bottle on the floor. Without the woman''s obstruction, the two policemen also entered the vi. They saw several naked men and women lying in therge living room, with bottles of wine on the ground, cigarettes everywhere, and more than a dozen small bags of white powder on the table. The police couldn''t help but be surprised to see this scene. They hurriedly called the police station to ask for support. "Wake them up." The woman hurriedly found CEO Wang in the crowd. She cried and shook CEO Wang''s body, shouting, "CEO Wang, wake up. Something is wrong." CEO Wang inhaled so much drugsst night that he was still in aa today. The woman had no choice but to give up and called the others first. All of them sat up in low spirits, naked. The woman wrapped them with bath towels casually, and everyone seemed not to see the police sitting in the living room with no expression. Sunny was also in a bad condition. Her hair was messy and her face was haggard. The policeman had recognized Sunny among the crowd. He frowned and looked at the debauched scene. Chapter 52 Police Support Chapter 52 Police Support Upon receiving the request for support, the police immediately sent two more squads to CEO Wang''s vi. After a while, the support arrived at the vi. When they saw the messy scene in the living room, they were really shocked. "You go upstairs and search for any prohibited articles. You two collect the prohibited articles on the table. You ask them to put on their clothes and take them back to the police station." The captain ordered in an orderly way. "Yes, sir!" The policemen answered and began to work. In the interrogation room of the police station, CEO Wang''s hands were handcuffed on the chair. Although CEO Wang felt guilty, he still insisted on shouting at the police. Though CEO Wang was still holding on, the girls soon confessed to the police without reservation. The next one toe in was Sunny. She regretted that she was too careless and was caught again. She hadpletely forgotten the task she had given Max. "Sunny, do you know him?" The policeman took out some documents and asked. "Max? Is the man called Max? " Sunny looked at the police in confusion. "Yes, Max from the Storm crew. Do you know him?" Sunny was a little shocked. She shook her head and said, "No." "If you don''t know him, why did you keep in touch with him in the past month?" The policeman picked up the call log and put it in front of Sunny. Sunny was so scared that she wanted to tear up the call log, but her hands were handcuffed on the chair. She wanted to move, but she couldn''t. Seeing the expression on Sunny''s face, the police understood what she meant. He asked again, "If you don''t know him, how do you exin this?" "I, I remember. This is Max. I only know his name is Max, but I don''t know his full name. I didn''t remember him just now. " Sunny said with a wry smile. "How did you know each other? What are you talking about these days? " "I, I used to y a role in Director Quentin''s movie. I probably knew him at that time. After too long, I don''t remember." Sunny continued to make up lies, "Sir, why do you suddenly ask about this?" Hearing Sunny''s answer, the policeman who was taking notes raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. He had read Max''s records before. The two men''s words werepletely different, which gave them away. The policeman didn''t answer Sunny''s question and continued to ask, "What are you talking about these days?" "It''s just a chitchat." Feeling that her exnation was too weak, Sunny rolled her eyes and immediately added, "In fact, Max wants to eat swan meat and calls me every day to harass me, so there are so many call records." As long as she told a lie, she needed countless lies to cover it up. Therefore, Sunny didn''t have the ability to make a quick decision. She could only talk nonsense to deal with the police by herself, but these exnations didn''t match with Max''s written record. "He called you? I saw that eighty percent of the time it was you who took the initiative to call him! " The policeman pounded the call log heavily on the table and said coldly, "I advise you to tell me everything. Be honest as soon as possible." "Don''t be so stubborn! Max has confessed everything. " "What? What? When did Max get caught? Then... " Sunny was so angry that she wanted to p herself in the face. ''How could Max be caught? Is Muriel dead or not?'' Sunny thought anxiously. "Are you talking about Muriel?" The policeman stared at her and asked. Sunny shook her head in a hurry and said, "No, hell no. I just said something wrong by mistake. I asked Max to buy me some pine nuts some time ago." "Humph! Didn''t you say that he was harassing you? Why did you ask him to buy pine nut for you? A lie! " The police relentlessly exposed her lie. "I... i..." Sunny lowered her head and looked around in panic. She really didn''t know how to answer the police''s question. "Max has told us everything. Do you think he will seed? You didn''t expect that the CEO of XR Group would send bodyguards to guard the ward door, right? Max was caught as soon as he approached. The syringe dropped out of his pocket has been tested and your fingerprints are also on it. " Do you still N?velDrama.Org ? content. want to be stubborn? Sunny''s heart sank. Although she tried hard to hold back her tears, her trembling lips betrayed her state of panic. As soon as Muriel woke up, she saw Richard standing beside her. She was slightly stunned and then smiled, "Richard, Why are you still here? You stayed with me the whole night? " Instead of answering Muriel''s question, Richard asked softly, "Are you hungry? Do you want to have breakfast or sleep for a while more? " "I''ll be a pig if I keep sleeping." Shaking her head, Muriel was about to get up. Seeing this, Richard stood up in a hurry and said, "Lie down. What''s wrong?" Muriel blinked, "Ah, I need to go to the bathroom. " Richard helped her up in person. Muriel hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, thanks. My leg is not broken. I can walk. And it''s not a big deal. I''ve suffered several times more serious injuries than this. I''m all... " Richard interrupted with a cold face, "I won''t let you get hurt again!" Looking at Richard''s serious and handsome face, Muriel somehow felt a little guilty. She bit her lower lip and let him help her into the bathroom. Richard closed the door for her like a gentleman. He turned to look at Victor, who was dealing with documents on the tablet, and said, "Go and buy some porridge." "Yes, sir!" Victor nodded and left the ward quickly. Since Muriel was injured, Victor''s office was transferred from thepany building to the ward. Sometimes when Muriel fell asleep, Richard would ask him to deal with documents outside the ward. Many medical staff around him looked at him strangely when they saw him holding a table all day long. Now he had to buy breakfast while dealing with documents. It was not easy to work as a secretary, which made him feel bitter. In the ward, Muriel washed up. Richard came over and helped her back to the bed. Richard asked with concern, "Do you want to lie t on the bed or lean against it?" "I want to lean against it." "Okay." Richard bent over and rolled up the bed. Muriel asked curiously, "Richard, don''t you need to go to work?" "If I don''t go to thepany for a few days and it won''t work, then there''s no need for me to run this a good rest." "Okay!" Muriel smiled, "Richard, you are really my good friend." Hearing this, Richard lowered his head and smiled helplessly. Chapter 53 Leniency For Confession Chapter 53 Leniency For Confession In the interrogation room, Max that had been sitting for a night began to yawn. The police simply thought he was sleepy. Then Max burst into tears and snot, and his body began to sweat. His pupils dted, his heart beat faster, his blood pressure rose, and his body trembled violently and twitched. Seeing him like this, the police knew he was a drug addict. They immediately took out handcuffs and handcuffed his hands and feet. Seeing the syringe on the table, Max''s eyes turned red. "Give it to me. I can''t stand it anymore. Give me an injection." The policeman shook his head firmly and said, "Sorry, I can''t give it to you." Max only felt itchy all over his body. At first, he just felt itchy in his hands and feet, and now he even felt itchy in his head. He struggled to get his hand out of the handcuffs and tried to scratch his head with his hand. "It''s itchy. Help me! There are ants on my head. Help me drive them away! These damn ants. " Max didn''t feel any pain at all. His wrist was bleeding. The police was afraid that his wrist would be dislocated if it went on like this, so they hurried forward to stop him. Max felt like thousands of ants crawling on his head. It was painful and itchy, but he couldn''t reach out to scratch it. He lowered his head irritably and hit the handle of the chair with his head. "Give me the drug, give me the drug, quickly. I''ll tell you everything you want to know." The policeman''s eyes lit up and asked in a hurry, "Who gave you this syringe?" As soon as Max heard that the police were willing to give him drugs, he lost his mind to think about the authenticity and immediately said, "Sunny gave it to me!" "What does she want you to do with this syringe?" "This is a high concentration of drugs. She asked me to sneak into Muriel''s ward at midnight and inject the drugs into Muriel''s veins. Within an hour, Muriel will surely die!" "So the props of the Storm crew were also tampered with by you?" "Yes, it''s all my fault. I don''t want to kill Muriel. It''s Sunny who forced me to do it. She said if I didn''t do as she said, she wouldn''t give me drugs. I nned to put up with it, but I didn''t expect it to be so unbearable. I have to listen to her to go against Muriel. " Max''s face was covered with tears and snot. "Did Sunny also give you the gun?" "Yes, she gave me the gun. She taught me to break the bamboo pole and the wire." "Do you have any evidence to prove that what you said is true?" Max pointed at the phone on the table and said, "Although I have deleted the content of the message, every time I sent a message to her, I would snap the screen. I''m afraid that she won''t drug me anymore after I help her with these things, so I''m going to threaten her with this evidence." The policeman, who was taking notes, hurriedly opened the album of Max''s phone and found a what he had just said. Max cried, "I''ve told you everything. Please give me an injection, just one." The policeman sighed and said, "I''m sorry. Please put up with it. You can''t continue to use drugs." In Sunny''s interrogation room, a policeman checked Sunny''s message with her mobile phone. She didn''t know if it was because Sunny was too proud and conceited that she didn''t delete the message and kept all in her phone. The policemanpared the chatting records of the two mobile phones and found that they were exactly the same. The evidence was irrefutable. Facing the evidence against her, Sunny knew that she was doomed. She shed tears and said regretfully, "I, admit my guilt." In the ward, Victor reported what had happened to Richard. The murderer was arrested and might be sentenced to death, which made him a little satisfied. "Thank you for your hard work these two days. Go and have a rest." "Okay." All the members of the crew knew that Director Quentin was called to the police station early in the morning, so they were waiting anxiously. Seeing that he finally came back, they hurried forward and asked, "Director Quentin, what''s wrong? Has the police found out the murderer? " Director Quentin scolded angrily, "It''s really Sunny! Damn it! She controlled Max with drugs and made him do something on the stage props. Now that Max and Sunny have been arrested, I guess Sunny will be sentenced to death. " "Ouch!" Everyone gasped. Sitting aside, Lindy trembled with anger. She took out her phone and sent a message on micro-blog, "I didn''t expect you to be so vicious! You will die a horrible death, Sunny! " As soon as this micro-blog post was released, the fans of Lindyforted, "What''s wrong with you? Why are you so angry? " "Oh my God! Is your micro-blog hacked? What''s this? " "Sunny? Isn''t she the heroine who pretended to fall a few days ago? How did she piss Lindy off? " "I seem to have figured out something. Sunny and Muriel had a conflict before. Did Sunny do it? Then my Lindy will be in trouble? " "Is Sunny so awesome? She had been abandoned by Purple Cloud Media, and nopany was willing to sign her. How could she make it? I don''t think Lindy is talking about this. " "What''s wrong with Sunny? If she has a conflict with Muriel, she will kill her in private. Why does it have anything to do with my Lindy? I don''t think Muriel is a good person. Otherwise, why did Sunny keep making trouble for her! There is no smoke without fire. You are all the same! " "Thement above is an idiot. I hope you can have a good brain." That aggressive micro-blog post was spread wildly by theizens.
