C205 Suspect

Li Muze seemed to have expected this answer from him, and said: "Don't worry, as long as you are truly willing to go abroad for Mu Qing, I will hire other professional directors to be responsible for the subsequent filming of Crescent Blade, it won't affect the crew."

Ke Qin was silent.

Without him, the film crew could still look for other directors. If the other party was professional enough, the final series might even be better than the ones he produced. Indeed, they would not be affected too much.

He wasn't that important to the crew, but... This film crew was very important to him.

This had been his hard work for several years. He couldn't bear to see himself polish the script for a few years, much less give up his career as a director …

Ke Qin remained silent on the phone for a long time.

Li Muze who was on the other end of the phone, could understand his current mood.

As a man, he always valued his career.

To be honest, if the person making the choice right now was Li Muze himself, he too could not be certain that he would choose a child.

Li Muze said: "Alright, I won't force you to make your choice now, you have to consider it carefully, once you make your choice, there is no retreat path for you on either path."

After pausing for a moment, he added, "However, it would be best if you don't drag this on for too long. I'm afraid the child can't wait that long. "

Li Muze naturally hoped that Ke Qin would choose his children and go abroad with him. However, he didn't have to force Ke Qin to make this choice.

He was not afraid that Ke Qin would not agree, at worst, he could just divorce Mu Qing. Anyway, he wouldn't let his little sister suffer grievances.

Furthermore, with her family's background in Li Family, even if Li Muqing got divorced, she wouldn't have to worry about marrying again in the future.

After Li Muze finished speaking, he did not wait for Ke Qin's reaction and directly hung up the phone.

Li Muze's phone call had ended a long time ago, but Ke Qin was still holding his phone close to his ear in a daze.

Right now, he was extremely confused.

Whether it was giving up his children or giving up his career, it made him miserable.

He did not know how things between him and Li Muqing could get so out of control …

Ke Qin once again spent the entire night on the sofa in the living room, and once again, practically didn't sleep for the entire night.

No matter how strong a person was, if they didn't sleep for two nights, their mental state and complexion wouldn't be any better.

Thus, on the second day, when Ke Qin arrived at the set, everyone on the set quickly saw that the director was in a bad mood.

Lin Xi could not help but think of the abnormal state Ke Qin was in yesterday. Taking advantage of when the filming crew had yet to begin, he went up and asked Ke Qin with concern: "Director, you don't seem to be in a good mood. Did you encounter any trouble recently?"

Ke Qin shook his head and replied half-heartedly: "It's nothing, it's just that I've been losing sleep these past two days."

When he spoke, he did not even look at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi thought that because he was in a bad mood and did not want to bother with others, she did not think that Yun Che was purposefully making things difficult for him, so he did not mind Yun Che's attitude at all.

However, Ke Qin made it clear that he did not want to talk about it further. Lin Xi tactfully did not pursue the matter further, and only looked at him with worry.

Sensing Lin Xi's gaze, Ke Qin deliberately tilted his head.

Actually, what Ke Qin had said just now was actually aimed at Lin Xi.

Speaking of which, all of the sources of his pain and conflict originated from Lin Xi.

If he hadn't met her, he wouldn't have to suffer so much now …

Although Ke Qin understood in his heart that all of this was because of his emotions, in reality, it had nothing to do with Lin Xi, he just couldn't resist and started to resent Lin Xi.

He blamed Lin Xi, and hated himself for being too sentimental …

To Ke Qin, getting busy was the best way to relieve his boredom.

Ke Qin picked up the trumpet on the side and shouted to the busy people, "Everyone pay attention, even the actors for the first movie, let's start with the recording in the first mirror!"

Perhaps these scenes would become the last few scenes of his life, and he couldn't waste a single second.

Although Ke Qin still maintained his professionalism, his bad mood still more or less affected the crew.

Thus, when they finally got off work, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

The actors and the other staff members quickly packed up their stuff and left the studio. Only the props team was left to count the props.

Even Ke Qin did not stay too long.

He did not stay to watch the day's shoot again, as usual. Instead, after announcing the end of work, he left the script behind and walked out of the studio, intending to go to the bar to drink.

He knew that getting drunk didn't solve the problem, but it temporarily paralyzed people's thoughts.

He had not slept for two days and nights, and his condition now affected his work. He needed alcohol to get a good night's sleep.

On the other hand, when Lin Xi left the set today, it was a little late.

Due to the need for the script, her makeup was a bit complicated today, so it was a bit difficult to take it off. Therefore, when they left, there was almost no one on the set.

The assistant gave the driver a call and confirmed the location of the car. Then, they walked out of the field together with Lin Xi.

There were many scenes from different eras on the set. It was possible to include multiple production teams at the same time.

As Lin Xi walked over, all the filming crew had already finished their work. Only a few lights could still be seen in the distance, probably because of the filming at night.

Just as she was about to leave the set, Lin Xi suddenly heard a scream for help.

The first time she heard it, she didn't pay much attention.

Because this was the filming crew, every day there would be various kinds of feuds and grudges played out. Fighting, killing, killing, and scenes of people shouting for help were just too normal.

So when she first heard it, she thought it was from where the night scene was being filmed.

But soon, she heard a second cry for help. It was much louder than before, and she could clearly hear that it was a girl.

Lin Xi determined the direction the sound came from, but she discovered that that place was pitch-black and it was impossible for it to be a night show.

The assistant beside Lin Xi also realized that something was wrong. She couldn't help but to get closer to Lin Xi and look around cautiously.

Lin Xi had arranged for her to be her new female assistant.

On the surface, the other party was her assistant, but in reality, he was Qin Yu's bodyguard. In order to protect Lin Xi conveniently at a close distance, she changed her identity to that of an assistant.

Just as Lin Xi stopped in her tracks, hesitating as to whether she should go up and take a look, another two desperate cries for help came from the darkness, but each one of them became weaker and weaker than the last.

Although Lin Xi did not want to meddle in other people's business, in such a dangerous situation, if she turned around and left, her conscience would not be able to let her go …

She made eye contact with her assistant and ran in the direction of the cry for help.

After running forward for a few dozen meters, borrowing the dim light from the street lamps, Lin Xi saw a corner of the wall. A man was raping a girl, trying to do something bad.

The girl was still struggling, but her hands and feet seemed to be weak.

More than half of her clothes had already been stripped off. Under the light, her white skin was exceptionally dazzling.

When Lin Xi saw the scene before her eyes, she immediately thought back to four years ago when she was drugged by Li Muqing and almost exploded by him.

The helpless girl in the corner was just like her despairing self at that time …

Lin Xi's eyes instantly turned red, and without thinking she rushed forward to save the girl, but the assistant beside her was one step ahead of her, and with one kick, kicked the man off the girl's body and onto the ground.

"You … Who are you? " The man tried to run away as he pulled up his pants and saw that something was wrong.

As he got up from the ground, the assistant kicked him again, knocking down the man who was trying to run away. Then he stepped forward again, grabbed the man's arm, twisted it, and pinned his face to the ground.

Lin Xi also rushed forward to help the girl up. As she helped her put on her clothes, she comforted her: "Alright, everything is fine now …"

When she got closer to Lin Xi, she realized that she looked very young, probably less than twenty years old.

She could not help but curse in the direction of that man, "You beast!"

When Lin Xi was dressing the girl, she discovered that her hands and feet were soft. Presumably, she was drugged as well, no wonder she looked so weak when she struggled just now.

Although Lin Xi comforted her, the girl continued to cry.

Lin Xi had experienced the same thing as her before, and he felt the pain and fear in his heart as well.

Lin Xi helped the girl put on her clothes, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the man, and ruthlessly stepped on his groin.

The man howled like a pig.

That kick earlier was for the girl who was bullied, and it was also for the him from back then …

That year, Lin Xi had experienced what happened to Li Zhi. Other than a serious illness, there was still a long period of time where she would have nightmares about Li Zhi.

That kind of mental torture was the most painful thing.

"Call the police." Lin Xi raised her head and said to the assistant.

The assistant nodded and immediately dialed 110.

Lin Xi then returned to the girl's side, continuing to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, the police will be here soon, we will accompany you."

The girl laid on Lin Xi's shoulder as she sobbed soundlessly. After a long while, she finally suppressed her sobs and whispered to Lin Xi, "Thank you for accompanying me. I'm very scared right now."

Lin Xi comforted her and patted her back, saying, "I've met with similar situations as you before. I know how scared you are, and how long you'll be afraid … But it doesn't matter in the end. Time will heal and take everything away. Look, I'm not afraid anymore. "

"Moreover, you are now much braver than I was before."

The last sentence, was said by Lin Xi in order to comfort the girl.

She knew that the girl would have nightmares for a long time to come, so she gave her a prophylactic shot and some encouragement in advance.

Maybe Lin Xi took her as an example to console her, but as the girl leaned against Lin Xi, she gradually calmed down.

Lin Xi and the other three patiently waited for the police to arrive under the dim light.

Not far away in the shadows, Ke Qin, who had just forgotten to take the car keys and was planning to return to the set to retrieve them, happened to witness the entire process.

He just so happened to hear Lin Xi's confession.

Lin Xi said that she had experienced the same thing before and was even afraid for a long period of time afterwards …
