Chapter 32: Let the Assistant Take the Blame For Her

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The director’s assistant was stoic as he said perfunctorily, “I don’t know what happened either. I guess it’s about the progress of the movie?”

“Oh, okay. Alright, I’ll go over now.” Yuan Ranran maintained a gentle smile on her face. She called her assistant over and the two of them followed behind the director’s assistant to go see Sun Yi.

On the way, Yuan Ranran had a lot on her mind. Although her assistant had repeatedly told her that no one had seen whatever she had asked her to do, Yuan Ranran couldn’t help but consider all the possible situations due to her fear of being found out. They weren’t very far from where the director was and soon arrived. The moment Yuan Ranran entered the room, she saw that not only Sun Yi, Shen Que, and the others were there, but also the police. Her heart was even more flustered. She walked to Sun Yi with a gentle and harmless smile on her face and said softly, “Director Sun, why are you looking for me?”

“Don’t you know why I’m looking for you? Since you don’t know, see for yourself,” Sun Yi said sternly, his eyes filled with disgust. All because of this woman, not only had the progress of the production team been delayed, now Gu Xiaoxiao had even been injured. The news would definitely cause a great uproar on the internet. Moreover, Gu Xiaoxiao’s injuries were very serious, so her scenes could only be postponed until she had recovered.

Yuan Ranran felt her heart beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. However, she still maintained an aggrieved expression on her face, as if she was about to cry. The director’s assistant reached out and played the video, directly pulling the progress bar to the scene with Yuan Ranran’s assistant. In the video, it showed beyond reasonable doubt how Yuan Ranran’s assistant had increased the amount of gunpowder in the explosives!

Seeing this, Yuan Ranran’s assistant was so scared that she cried. She stood at the side, trembling, and didn’t dare to say anything. Yuan Ranran secretly cursed the assistant in her heart for being so stupid that she didn’t even know she was caught on camera red-handed. However, under such circumstances, she knew that she couldn’t admit to having anything to do with all this. If she admitted, she would have to be punished according to the law — the penalty for attempted murder was not light!

Therefore, after watching the video, Yuan Ranran immediately stood up and reached out to slap her assistant. She said fiercely, “How can you be so vicious? You actually did such a thing behind my back!”

The assistant was already so scared that she could not even speak clearly. Added by Yuan Ranran’s slap, she became increasingly dazed.

“Director Sun, I really didn’t know about this matter. It was all her own idea.” After scolding the assistant, Yuan Ranran turned around and said to Sun Yi with grievance. To avoid responsibility, Yuan Ranran blamed all the wrong on her assistant, making her assistant take the blame.

Unfortunately, the police did only see the figure of Yuan Ranran’s assistant in the video. There was no evidence to prove that Yuan Ranran had anything to do with this matter, thus, they could only bring the assistant back for interrogation in the police station for the time being.

After the assistant was removed, only a few people in the crew, Fan Cheng and Shen Que were left in the room.

“She’s your assistant. How could you say you didn’t know she did this?” Sun Yi roared.

Shen Que, who was leaning against Fan Cheng’s chest, knew that Yuan Ranran must have instigated this. She must have wanted to cause her harm, but Yuan Ranran probably didn’t expect that she would notice the danger beforehand and avoid disaster. In her heart, Shen Que couldn’t help but feel that this person was stupid and vicious at the same time. After all, she and Gu Xiaoxiao were filming this scene together. By doing such a thing, Yuan Ranran was also putting Gu Xiaoxiao in harm’s way.

“Director Sun, I really didn’t do it. I’ve been resting in the hotel and I don’t know anything. Perhaps it was because Shen Que had offended my assistant in some way that she did such a thing with a grudge? I don’t know. I really don’t know…” Things had already reached such a point, yet Yuan Ranran was still trying to turn put the blame on Shen Que.

She would never admit to this matter. If she did, her life would be ruined.. Moreover, she had not appeared in the video from beginning to end, thus Yuan Ranran insisted that she did not know what her assistant had done!
