Chapter 321 With him protecting me, I can rest easy.
Ning Yao waited at the edge of the cliff for a while, and Lu Qingshan was among the first to return.
When Lu Qingshan saw Ning Yao standing there unharmed, she was completely stunned.
"How did you get up here?" Instead of worry and concern, Lu Qingshan was now full of curiosity.
The pressure equipment was clearly broken, and Luo Xiyao fell off the cliff in front of everyone, yet she's completely unharmed.
"It's a long story, let's start filming." Ning Yao had already changed her clothes.
To avoid any unexpected situations, the production crew made sure the main characters wore several sets of the same style of clothing.
Ning Yao's clothes got wet, so she changed into an identical set, dried her hair with a hairdryer, and styled her hair.
Looking at it this way, it's as if the wire accident never happened at all.
Tang Xiaoge arrived shortly after Lu Qingshan. He looked haggard and his complexion was not good.
Seeing that Ning Yao was alright, Tang Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief, and the pain in her heart subsided considerably, though her eyes were still a little red.
His condition was perfect for filming, and Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up. She quickly got the two lead actors into position and continued filming.
He Yu, accompanied by his bodyguards, confronted the wire-work technicians and tied them up.
"What...what are you doing?"
The technician's eyes were filled with panic as he struggled desperately, but how could he possibly outmatch a professional bodyguard with his strength alone?
They were taken away silently in no time.
"Ugh...ugh..." The technician who was suspended by wires was thrown off the cliff with his hands tied behind his back. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. His crotch area was immediately soaked, and the color was much darker than the surrounding area.
There are no safety measures on this side of the cliff. Of course, the technicians didn't know that there were safety measures on the other side of the filming location. Hanging there would have been just as scary as wetting your pants.
"Who bribed you to tamper with Miss Luo's wire harness?" He Yu's voice was icy cold.
Having followed Wen Tingye for so long, he had naturally picked up some of his authoritative tone and mannerisms, which he had mastered to a very high degree.
The technicians had lost their minds at this point and dared not be perfunctory in the slightest.
"I don't know who it was. The person didn't say their name, they just gave me some money!"
"Please, let me go. It's not that I wanted to harm Miss Luo, it's...it was that person who forced me to."
Upon hearing this, He Yu took two steps forward and suddenly pulled out a small dagger from his hand. The dagger was so bright and sharp that it gleamed.
"Tell me everything you know, and maybe you can still walk out of this mountain alive..."
"What are you doing? Stop cutting! I'll tell you everything I know!"
"That person was about 1.7 meters tall, a man, wearing an expensive suit, and looked like a rich man!"
He Yu smiled and gave his bodyguards a look, and they pulled the man up from the edge of the cliff.
The technician who was suspended by wires had numb and trembling legs and couldn't even stand up. He collapsed to the ground, never expecting to have offended such a person.
"Is there any way to contact him again?" He Yu asked the man in front of him in a cold voice.
"He said, he said that after this is all over, he will give me another hush money, to... to make the deal at Imperial City Park." The man dared not lie anymore, and he shouted these words almost in a sob.
"Take him away and keep a close watch on him." After instructing the bodyguards, He Yu quickly headed towards the film crew.
Ning Yao encountered He during a break after filming.
"Miss Luo." He stepped forward, bowed slightly, and whispered a few words in the woman's ear.
“Okay, I will cooperate, but about Director Lu…” Ning Yao glanced at Lu Qingshan, somewhat hesitant.
"As long as you have no objections, leave the rest to me." He Yu smiled, indicating that Ning Yao didn't need to worry.
Seeing that Ning Yao was finally free of people, Li Xuan quickly stepped forward and asked curiously, "A lot of bodyguards in black suddenly came. I don't know whose people they are, but they forced us to hand over our communication devices."
"Don't worry, we'll return it to you soon," Ning Yao reassured her, finding Li Xuan's curious expression amusing.
"It's good that you're alright. You have no idea how worried we were when you fell, especially Senior Tang. He was so anxious, it was like he wanted to swallow the guy on the wires whole..."
"Then everyone went down the mountain to look for you. He was the first one to run, and he even spent a lot of money to ask residents who were familiar with the terrain inside and outside the mountains to help. He did his best. Xi Yao, Senior Tang is really good to you. You two must have a good relationship in private."
Thinking of this, Li Xuan shook her head and clicked her tongue, feeling extremely emotional.
That's Tang Xiaoge! He's been in the industry for so many years and has never had any scandals. I've never heard of him caring about anyone like that. He's the most eligible bachelor in the industry.
"Don't talk nonsense, I have a boyfriend." Ning Yao stopped Li Xuan from making wild guesses.
What personal relationship did she have with Tang Xiaoge?
Aside from being on set, we've never chatted online. Whenever we send a message, it's always about official business on set, nothing more.
“You have a boyfriend, but Senior Tang doesn’t have a girlfriend. It’s normal for him to like you unilaterally.” Li Xuan lowered her voice, afraid that someone would hear and put Luo Xiyao in an awkward situation.
“He’s just a good person. Besides, he’s the producer of the film crew. If something happens to the actors, he can’t escape responsibility either.” Ning Yao didn’t think Li Xuan’s guess was correct.
Tang Xiaoge is her partner. They have known each other for a long time, but Tang Xiaoge has always given her a feeling of neither being too close nor too distant. He has never done anything inappropriate, nor has she felt that he likes her that much.
But Ning Yao also admitted that she has never been very sensitive when it comes to matters of the heart.
She used to be indifferent to dating, but now that she has Wen Tingye, other men are no longer on her radar.
What others do is none of her business. She wouldn't rashly question a man who has feelings for her; that's basic courtesy.
If Tang Xiaoge takes any further action, Ning Yao will not hesitate to lay bare their relationship without any hesitation.
He Yu persuaded Lu Qingshan to confiscate all the communication devices of the crew and then keep the news from the outside world.
He wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, to make the mastermind behind bribing the wire technicians come forward.
At night, the crew members returned to their respective tents, some joking quietly, others resting, without disturbing each other.
News has already spread online that actress Luo Xiyao accidentally fell off a cliff.
Er Heyu personally led two bodyguards and wire technicians down the mountain in the afternoon to set up a trap to catch the thief in the Imperial City Park.
The air in the mountains is particularly damp and cold.
Ning Yao's tent, however, was kept at a constant temperature, without the slightest hint of cold.
This was also the equipment He Yu brought her: a miniature thermostat. It has to be said that He Yu is a very thoughtful man.
Ning Yao took out her phone inside the tent and chatted with her son and daughter.
She added the older children to the WeChat group, but not Aixiu and Baoying for the time being.
The children nearly collapsed upon learning of their mother's accident. Fortunately, they received the message on WeChat in time, and Ning Yao quickly created a group chat and sent a video call so that her children could see that she was safe and sound.
The three older children, Ning Moran, Ning Chen, and Ning Duoduo, only relaxed and regained their color when they saw Ning Yao.
"Mom, you can't do this! You almost scared me to death." Ning Duoduo leaned helplessly against the headboard, still feeling a bit weak in her limbs.
"You really fell, didn't you? The video doesn't look staged," Ning Chen said, frowning with concern.
"I'll come over now and give you a thorough medical checkup!"
"Do not……"
After Ning finished speaking, the person disappeared.
Ning Yao had only uttered one word before her son had already started tidying up the room at lightning speed, with the video call still on and his attitude extremely firm.
“A doctor has already examined Mom, so don’t worry, I’m fine,” Ning Yao said, not wanting her son to go through all that trouble.
“If the words of ordinary doctors were effective, there would be no need for top research experts in biopharmaceuticals like us.” Ning Moran’s tone was casual and unassuming, without any hint of belittling, yet it carried an air of arrogant arrogance.
