Seeing Xue Yao curiously waiting for what to happen next, Lu Yinbing told her what happened yesterday afternoon when Xia Yitong went to the crew and met Dong Yafei.
Xue Yao said "Oh" and reported the more detailed information she had found out to her.
Two years ago, Dong Yafei was killed by Lu Yinbing's studio when she failed to spread rumors. She had terminated her contract with Chaochu Entertainment and signed a new sponsor. When this happened, not only did they terminate her contract, but they also sued her. The other party was rich and powerful, and Dong Yafei was forced to pay all her savings to the other party. In addition, those advertisers who terminated their contracts with her because of major negative news during the contract period demanded compensation for breach of contract. She went back to look for the original sponsor, but she didn't find him and was kicked out. From then on, she fell from grace.
After that, she waited for three months for the rumors to pass, and then she started to come out again, hoping to get some work. She was not a first-line big star, nor was she a powerful actress. As soon as the scandal came out, her fans ran away. People in the industry would not use her again. It was basically impossible for her to make a comeback. She was in a very bad state for a while. After another three months, she seemed to have figured it out. She didn't make any more troubles. Ordinary people didn't recognize her. She just did some odd jobs in the crew and occasionally played a cameo in the crowd. "Adoptive Mother" was the third crew she had been in.
According to Xue Yao, because she was a floating staff, most people in the crew didn't know her real name and only called her Xiao Fei. There were so many Xiao Feis in the world. Lu Yinbing had been in the crew for almost a month and must have heard everyone calling her that. But with her memory, let alone calling her "Xiao Fei", even if she called her "Dong Yafei" with her full name, she would have to think carefully about who this person was. It's not Lu Yinbing's fault. She had so many people and things to remember. If it wasn't for the relationship between her and Xia Yitong, she would have forgotten a minor character like Dong Yafei in a month at most.
However, it was this small role that caused her to capsize in the gutter, no, she fell into the open ditch in broad daylight.
Xue Yao finished her story, and Lu Yinbing looked calm.
Xue Yao asked curiously: "Why aren't you angry at all?"
Lu Yinbing said, "I was angry. I was afraid of a concussion, so I was slow to react. I was very angry. Did you see my teeth?"
"What's wrong with your teeth?" Xue Yao asked.
Lu Yinbing: "I'm so angry. Is this premeditated murder?"
"It should be." Xue Yao asked, "What do you want to do? Public or private? Public means suing her directly, private means cutting off her arms and legs. I have people who can be used, and I guarantee it will be clean."
Lu Yinbing: “…”
I didn’t expect that Mother Xue still has the potential to be a gangster.
Xue Yao sat on the chair, crossed her legs, and knocked on the bedside table: "Don't look at me like that. Who doesn't have some hidden goods under their management?"
Lu Yinbing: “…”
I have indeed never heard of any agent having any connection with a thug.
Lu Yinbing: "Tell me honestly, are you the boss of some underworld organization, and have you been working hard to make money to support your minions over the years?"
Xue Yao: "Yes, yes, I am actually the head of the Green Xing Society. Are you afraid of loving me?"
Lu Yinbing: "I'm scared. Let's just settle it. It's too pitiful for a girl to have her arms and legs broken off, and it's not good to resort to lynching." Lu Yunzhang used to be a soldier, and this concept was deeply rooted in Lu Yinbing's mind.
Xue Yao brushed off her clothes and said, "Okay, I'll go find a lawyer."
"Is the evidence enough? Just a small steel ball can't prove that she did it."
"I will find a way." Xue Yao smiled at her. She would send Dong Yafei to prison. If there was insufficient evidence, she would fabricate new evidence. With money, she could do anything. The means involved were all shady and there was no need to tell Lu Yinbing.
She was about to leave when Lu Yinbing stopped her and said, "Don't tell Xia Yitong. I'm afraid she will blame herself."
Xue Yao turned his back to her and made an "OK" gesture to her.
Lu Yinbing finally felt relieved. This matter had nothing to do with Xia Yitong from the beginning to the end. With her personality, she would feel sad for a while when she saw someone in trouble. Now that she knew the truth, she might not know what would happen.
…
Crew.
Dong Yafei rubbed his palms and stood in front of the Life Producer with his head lowered.
Life Producer: “You want to quit?”
Dong Yafei nodded.
Life Producer: “Why?”
Dong Yafei looked up: "My mother is seriously ill, I want to go back to my hometown to take care of her."
The producer of Life could hear the tremor in her voice and thought she was worried about her mother at home. Accidents happen in every family, so he felt a little sympathetic: "How about this, you don't have to resign, just take a long vacation. I see you are quite skillful, you can come back and work with us."
Dong Yafei shivered even more and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu, but it's not necessary. My mother is old and she hopes that after I go home, I can get married and have children and stop wandering around."
Life Producer: "Are you suffering from heat stroke?"
Dong Yafei: "No, no."
The assistant director happened to call him, and the life producer didn't have time to say anything more, so he said, "Okay, go to the finance department and collect the rest of your salary."
Thanks to being in the crew, she is still a temporary worker and does not have to go through so many procedures like leaving a regular company. She collected her wages in a hurry and left the crew quickly without even saying goodbye.
She was scared.
She only wanted to make Lu Yinbing look bad, not to kill her. That day, she happened to have a few small steel balls in her pocket because of something else, and it was raining heavily. When she was setting up the venue, she accidentally put the small steel balls on the ground. As soon as she put them down, she regretted it and did not go up to pick them up.
But it was raining so heavily that day, it was possible that the small steel balls were washed down by the rain, or they rolled to some other place and Lu Yinbing couldn't step on them at all, or... and she only put a few in total. In short, she comforted herself, it was okay.
Before and after she shouted "action", she had been looking at the stairs, but due to the rain, her vision was hazy. She felt that she saw the small steel ball fall, but she also felt that she didn't see it. In the end, she was not sure where she put it. Until there was a cry of surprise from the crowd, everyone rushed to one place, and she followed the crowd to squeeze in. Lu Yinbing had already fallen from the top, with a loud sound, like the sound of the god of death swinging his scythe.
Lu Yinbing didn't move. She wanted to turn around and run away reflexively, but her body seemed to be controlled by some force. She stared at the person lying on the ground with his eyes closed in panic. Lu Yinbing's hand was pressed against the side of her face. Her fingers moved twice, and the blood behind her head seeped into the rain, staining a large area red.
Seeing the current state of the arrogant person before, Dong Yafei's originally fearful mood actually slowly calmed down. It was all because of her that she became what she is now. She could have driven a luxury car, lived in a luxury house, and relied on a young and wealthy sponsor to rise to prominence. It was Lu Yinbing who insisted on cutting off all her escape routes. Now she fell like this, it was retribution, yes, it was retribution!
Intense hatred couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, but at this moment, Lu Yinbing, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened them again, met her gaze, and did not move.
Did she see herself? No, it was impossible! There were so many people here, she couldn't possibly see herself! It must be an illusion!
She shrank back in fear and hid behind the crowd. When she looked at Lu Yinbing again, she had closed her eyes again.
Lu Yinbing was sent to the hospital. It was said that his injuries were too severe and the hospital in the small town could not treat him. After simple treatment, he was rushed to the provincial capital. At the same time, experts from Beijing rushed over as quickly as possible and gathered in the provincial capital to perform surgery on Lu Yinbing.
Dong Yafei followed the staff to clean up the leftovers. When no one was paying attention, he went to the stairs to collect the remaining small steel balls. He found another one in the corner against the wall on the ground. Finally, there was one left and it was missing.
The incident was classified as an accident, and she felt relieved. However, she dreamed of Lu Yinbing covered in blood for several nights after that, asking her to pay with her life. The crew asked to block the news, and only the upper-level leaders knew about the injury. The leaders kept silent, and she had no way to find out. She had to search the Internet for news about Lu Yinbing, but there were all kinds of rumors online, which made her even more uneasy.
What if Lu Yinbing really died? Did she kill someone? She didn't want to kill anyone, she really didn't want to. In just a few days, her face became haggard and pale. The day Xia Yitong saw her, she hadn't slept well for five days. She cried in fear and regret in the middle of the night while hugging her quilt.
She had a hard time in the crew, begging for any news from somewhere every day, but she didn't get any news, but instead she got a killer. The real person in charge of the small Lu Yinbing studio, Xue Yao. Xue Yao was very famous in the circle, and in some ways she was no less famous than Lu Yinbing. Everyone knew that she was ruthless and cruel, known as a smiling tiger. Anyone who dared to provoke Lu Yinbing was dealt with by her.
She did not come alone, she brought with her an ordinary man. The man was wearing a black T-shirt and was pacing around the area where Lu Yinbing had the accident. Xue Yao also took him to meet the director and talked with him for a long time.
The next morning the man came again. He stayed at that place for a long time with tools in his hands. Dong Yafei walked around that place, but it was still too far away to see clearly what was there. Once he squatted down, picked up something and put it in his pocket. Dong Yafei intuitively felt that it was the small steel ball that she had missed.
What should I do if I’ve been found
She thought about it all night and decided that she couldn't stay in this place in fear any longer, so she decided to resign and return home.
So early this morning, she found the Life Producer, told him she wanted to resign, got her salary, and took a taxi directly to the train station. She had bought the ticket last night.
On the set, after the producer finished talking to the assistant director, he raised his hand and knocked his head hard, cursed inwardly "I almost forgot", and made a phone call: "Hello, Mr. Xue, this is Xiao Wu. Didn't you tell me the day before yesterday that someone resigned and told you? Just ten minutes ago, a temporary worker named Xiao Fei in the props group resigned, saying that he had to go home to take care of his sick mother... It's okay, you're welcome... Where did she go? She seemed very anxious, probably went to the train station..."
