Yuan Shu waited for the two of them to leave before approaching the horse again. Shi Xiao and Jiang Chen were both worried that the horse would go crazy again, so they wanted to stop her, but Yuan Shu shook her head and gave them a reassuring look.

Yuan Shu walked to the horse’s side and checked the saddle carefully.

Yuan Shu couldn’t find any difference between this saddle and an ordinary saddle, so she was very puzzled. From the horse’s reaction, what stimulated it must be the pain on the horse’s back. Since there was nothing wrong with the saddle, what could be the problem?

Yuan Shu tapped her chin with the joint of her index finger. At the same time, she thought about the problem carefully and suddenly had an idea.

She stroked the horse’s neck gently. After the horse snorted comfortably, she removed the saddle quickly and skillfully. As expected, she saw a small wound with blood on the horse’s back.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Yuan Shu’s actions. Even the horse trainer didn’t expect his horse to be injured.

The horse trainer was shocked. “How could this be? 1 checked carefully when 1 was putting on the saddle, but there were no wounds on its body!”

Although it was only a very small wound, because there was someone on the horse’s back, when the horse walked, the weight of the person would cause the horse to rub the wound under the saddle. The horse would feel more and more pain, so it would gradually go crazy.

Yuan Shu squatted down to check the saddle. Sure enough, she saw a round-headed nail on the saddle and the nail reflected the dazzling light under the sun. “It seems that someone tampered with the saddle. The round-headed nail is very small, so Zhang Zhang was fine when she sat on it at the beginning, but as time passed, it would pierce the back of the horse.”

Director Wang Shen was very angry and he asked the equipment team, “Who prepared this? Why didn’t you check it clearly? Who will be responsible if a big problem arises?!”

The leader of the props team immediately stood up. “Director, we don’t know either. When we checked the saddle, there was nothing wrong. This… Who knows where this round-headed nail came from?!”

Yuan Shu knew that she wouldn’t be able to get an answer even if she continued asking. The round head nail was too small, so anyone could have placed it on the saddle. Instead of pursuing who was responsible, she might as well think about who this person was doing this to target.

This horse had just been borrowed and Zhang Zhang wasn’t the one who had been arranged to film this scene. However, during the filming process, the director had changed people at the last minute, so the unprepared Zhang Zhang became the victim.

Therefore, this scheme targeted the person who was originally acting in this scene. However, there was an unexpected change and it became Zhang Zhang instead. The original person was…

Yuan Shu!

Yuan Shu and Jiang Chen both thought of this. They raised their heads in shock at the same time. When they exchanged glances, they saw the same knowing look in each other’s eyes. The target of the attack was actually Yuan Shu…

Jiang Chen walked to Yuan Shu’s side and whispered, “Think about it carefully. Who attacked you? This person didn’t succeed in targeting you this time, but it’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be a next time.”

Yuan Shu was at a loss. Ever since she came to this world, she hadn’t interacted with many people and she felt that she didn’t make enemies with anyone. Who wanted to harm her?

Shi Xiao was very close to Yuan Shu, so he naturally heard their conversation and couldn’t help but feel even more worried.

If Yuan Shu didn’t have any enemies, then the person who wanted to harm her might have done so only because she was Shi Xiao’s wife.

However, Shi Xiao had too many enemies and there were countless people who could have done such a thing. For the time being, Shi Xiao couldn’t think of a suspect.

Shi Xiao walked to Yuan Shu’s side and said softly, “No matter who it is, the most important thing now is to protect you. From today onwards, I’ll get Zhao Cheng to send someone to follow you around and ensure your safety.”

Actually, Yuan Shu wanted to refuse. With her martial arts skills, most people in the modern world were not her match, so there was really no need to be so careful.

However, Jiang Chen beat her to it and said, “That’s for the best. 1’11 find someone to protect you on the set in the future as well. You’re a woman, so you have to be protected.”

Yuan Shu was stunned and felt that she had heard this sentence somewhere before. It seemed that someone had said the same thing to her a long time ago, but she couldn’t remember.

Since both of them said so, Yuan Shu could only listen to their arrangements..
