Chapter 208 - 208 Revealing Identity

208 Revealing Identity

Shen Ruojing felt her phone vibrating.

She took it out and had a look, realizing that it was Lu Cheng.

However, she didn’t pick up the call immediately and was looking at the production set.

Jing Zhen was seated on the throne. His messy hair made him appear a little crazy, and he looked straight at Yun Lu, his peach blossom eyes pitch-black, making it hard for others to see what his emotions were.

As the director called for the shooting to start, Yun Lu took a step forward and picked up the imperial decree. After she saw the content on it, she got so angry that she picked up the ink stone.

A dark glow flashed in Yun Lu’s eyes as she hurled the ink stone straight at Jing Zhen.

Bang!

The ink stone hit Jing Zhen’s forehead.

From the beginning to the end, Jing Zhen didn’t even blink. He overcame the fear of knowing the plot of the story beforehand, appearing as if he hadn’t expected this to happen.

He was very professional.

Seeing this, Director Liu’s favorable impression of him kept on rising.

“Cut! Well done!” Director Liu called out.

All the staff employees heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Tianye finally couldn’t help but ask, “Does grandpa feel pain?”

Shen Qianhui’s countenance wasn’t good either, but after hearing Chu Tianye’s question, she explained, “That’s a prop, and it’s made of plastic, so it doesn’t hurt.”

It was a little humiliating, but this was within an acceptable range.

After all, this was a shoot. The female lead had even knelt before Jing Zhen previously.

After the take was completed in one pass, both Shen Qianhui and Shen Ruojing heaved a sigh of relief.

When Shen Ruojing decided to pick up the call, Lu Cheng’s voice rang out, “Lord Jing, do you know why Bro Chen is angry at you? I found out from Fang Panxia earlier.”

Shen Ruojing’s gaze swept through the production set before she asked casually, “Why?”

Lu Cheng said outright, “She said that a type of poison you invented poisoned Bro Chen’s most beloved woman back then.”

When Shen Ruojing heard this, her pupils abruptly contracted.

Her half-closed peach blossom eyes instantly widened in disbelief and realization.

No wonder after Chu Cichen questioned her if she was the one who had created the No. 5 Neurotoxin, his attitude suddenly underwent a drastic change. So that was how it was.

At this moment, her chin tensed up and a hoarse voice that she didn’t notice came out of her throat. “Who is the person he liked?”

“...Fang Panxia didn’t say.”

Lu Cheng immediately regretted that he didn’t ask everything clearly. What if the woman didn’t die from this poison? He immediately said, “I’ll go back and ask her again right now.”

After saying that, Lu Cheng hung up.

Shen Ruojing pursed her lips.

For some reason, she kept having the feeling that she almost recalled something. However, her mind was in a mess at the moment and she couldn’t recall it...

Just as she was in her thoughts, Yun Lu started acting up again. “That won’t do. Director, I feel that my emotions in that scene earlier weren’t enough. Moreover, before I threw the ink stone, I even hesitated. Let’s do it again!”

Director Liu. “... Alright then.”

As he said this, the props team immediately came running in and returned everything to its original state. When Yun Lu took the ink stone again, she said, “Oh my, I’m sorry. I flattened this ink stone. However, thankfully I have an ink stone with me. Let’s bring it over to use!”

After saying that, she gave her assistant a gaze.

The assistant immediately understood something and quickly ran to Yun Lu’s resting place. She then rummaged through Yun Lu’s bag, took out a new ink stone, and walked over to pass it to Yun Lu.

Yun Lu weighed the ink stone in her hand.

The prop was made of plastic and was very light. However, the ink stone that she was holding now was an actual stone.

If she were to smash it at Jing Zhen, he would have to be hospitalized for at least ten days to half a month!

If that were to happen, she’d use the reason that Jing Zhen was holding back the progress of the filming to kick him out. They could then change the actor and retake the emperor’s scenes.

She had everything planned out and weighed the ink stone in her hand, preparing to hurl the ink stone at Jing Zhen!

At this moment, Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes.

Her gaze landed on the ink stone Yun Lu was holding. She then suddenly froze and quickly walked up to Shen Qianhui, saying something in a soft voice.

Shen Qianhui understood and shouted, “Hold on!”

Everyone looked at her, stopping in their actions.

Yun Lu was the only one who seemed as if she hadn’t heard anything. She picked up the ink stone and threw it fiercely at Jing Zhen.

Bang!

Jing Zhen dodged the ink stone, and it shattered upon hitting the wall at the back. The crumbled pieces then bounced back and ricocheted toward Jing Zhen.

Shen Ruojing’s heart leaped.

Shattered stones had a huge damaging prowess as well. It was very hard for Jing Zhen to dodge them all given the position he was at.

She quickly dashed over, only to see Jing Zhen shouting out loud in fright and raising his arm to block them. The shattered stones then hit the clothing hanging under his arm.

He then seemed to have stepped onto his clothes and fallen forward. The shattered stones, fortunately, brushed past his back.

With the series of chaotic actions, Jing Zhen ended up not getting hurt at all.

The doctor in the production team rushed over quickly. After checking Jing Zhen, he patted his chest and said, “This is such a coincidence. Not a single piece of the stone hit Teacher Jing.”

Shen Ruojing. “??”

Her gaze swept at Jing Zhen. Coincidence? Those actions couldn’t be explained by a simple coincidence, right?

When Yun Lu saw this, her face was filled with disappointment. However, she immediately turned to Shen Qianhui and shouted, like a thief crying thief, “Director Shen, don’t you understand the production team’s rules? Why did you shout when we were filming?”

Shen Qianhui tensed.

She didn’t want to make things difficult for Yun Lu. During the entire filming period, although Yun Lu acted like a big shot in the production team, everything had gone very smoothly because she didn’t have many scenes with Jing Zhen.

Shen Qianhui didn’t expect something like this to happen when the filming was about to end.

The Yun Family didn’t announce her identity to the public, and she didn’t wish to get involved in their family’s internal strife either. Therefore, she had never told others about her identity.

However, with Yun Lu constantly pushing them and now that even Jing Zhen’s life was at risk, Shen Qianhui decided not to hold back anymore.

She went straight up, but before she could say anything, Director Liu suddenly said, “F*ck”. The entire production team immediately fell silent and everyone turned to look at Director Liu.

Shen Qianhui also kept quiet.

She could quarrel with Yun Lu, but she didn’t wish to quarrel with Director Liu. Director Liu had a high status in the circle.

At this moment, Director Liu’s expression was grim and he went over angrily, reproaching, “Do you still want to act properly? We’re already near the end! If you don’t wish to act, then scram!”

Yun Lu smiled and looked at Jing Zhen. “Teacher Jing, Director Liu is right. If you don’t wish to continue acting, you can leave...”

At the next moment, Director Liu pointed to her in rage and said, “I was referring to you! Yun Lu, if you don’t want to do this, then scram!”

Director Liu had always been persistent in his ways with the production team. He only gave way to Yun Lu a little but didn’t expect her to be so overbearing. Anyway, Director Liu was never one with a good temper. He only cared about one’s work and acting skills.

Many popular celebrities had been scolded to tears by him.

Hence, at this moment, Director Liu couldn’t stand it anymore!

Yun Lu widened her eyes in shock. “Director Liu, do you know who you’re talking to?”

Director Liu sneered. “I don’t care who you are. In my production team, you only have one identity, and that is an actress! I’ve long since disliked you for showing off in the production team just because of your background. We’ll redo this scene again according to the original script!”

Since Director Liu had flown into a rage, Shen Qianhui didn’t continue to say anything else.

The surrounding staff members all kept quiet, not daring to speak. Everyone turned to Yun Lu.

Yun Lu was trembling in anger.

She shouted, “Director Liu, aren’t you afraid that the Yun Family will withdraw their investment if you treat me like this?”

“Get them to withdraw it then!” Director Liu fiercely threw the bottle of water he was holding onto the ground and then turned to enter the resting room.

The script supervisor followed after him. “Director Liu, why do this? Hurry up and apologize! That’s the Yun Family’s young miss!”

Director Liu didn’t say a word.

Yun Lu was very angry and she took out her phone to call the Yun Family. The phone had just connected when she started crying, “Father, hurry up and bring Eldest Uncle to the set! They came together to bully me! And there’s a veteran actor with the surname Jing who targets me! I’m bullied so badly that I can’t live on anymore!”

The voice of the Yun Family’s second son immediately rang out. “Who dares to bully a daughter of the Yun Family? Wait there, I’ll go look for your Eldest Uncle and go over immediately!”

After the call was hung up, the assistant director went up to try to coax Yun Lu.

Yun Lu crossed her arms. “Want me to not withdraw the investment? Sure, then fire Jing Zhen! And get Director Liu to apologize to me!”

She assumed an impressive front.

However, when Shen Qianhui and Shen Ruojing saw this, neither of them felt anxious.

Yun Zhengyang was coming? Then they’d just reveal their identities! Who was afraid of her?

Seeing that the situation was in their favor and Jing Zhen wasn’t hurt either, Shen Ruojing pursed her lips and walked to the side. She looked down at her phone and thought about what Lu Cheng had said earlier...
