The assistant nodded. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she quietly left and walked towards the props. She walked very quickly for fear of being seen by others.

No one would have thought that someone would steal and tamper with such important things as the props, thus there was no one guarding them. The assistant sneakily went forward, and following Yuan Ranran’s instructions, took five times the amount of explosive props that was originally needed. However, when she was adding gunpowder to the props, she suddenly thought, what if someone died because of her actions?

She was timid, to begin with. She knew that if she really did as Yuan Ranran told her to, she would have to bear legal responsibility if Shen Que was killed by the explosion. But on the other hand, she did not dare to disobey Yuan Ranran’s orders. After thinking for a while, she chose to double the amount of gunpowder in the props and not quintuple, then she left.

Seeing that the assistant who had left not long ago had returned so quickly, Yuan Ranran used her eyes to silently question the assistant, who then nodded slightly in Yuan Ranran’s direction, indicating that the things she had instructed her to do had been done.

Yuan Ranran looked at Shen Que, who was currently filming. A smug smile appeared on her face. This time, she would definitely make Shen Que pay the price! This woman had repeatedly escaped her traps. She did not believe that Shen Que would still be lucky and remained unharmed this time. Once her face was disfigured, she would definitely be despised by Fan Cheng. When that time came, she would have a chance. If she could attract Fan Cheng’s attention, then she would not be far from becoming famous.

In the afternoon, the director’s assistant repeatedly confirmed the setting of the explosives with the prop master. The prop master promised solemnly that he had already controlled the amount of gunpowder in the explosives and that nothing would happen.

The main scene they had to shoot in the afternoon was about Shen Que and Gu Xiaoxiao being bombarded by the enemy in their attempts to avoid the Japanese.

Everyone attached great importance to this scene because this was a relatively outstanding part of the entire movie. As such, the requirements towards the actors were also higher. As film queens, the cooperation between Gu Xiaoxiao and Shen Que went smoothly.

Yuan Ranran looked at Shen Que from the side, her eyes flashing with viciousness. Her wish was about to come true.

As soon as the explosives were ignited, Shen Que realized that the fuse was abnormally bright, and the amount of smoke coming out was also not right. She subconsciously felt that if the explosives really exploded, both she and Gu Xiaoxiao would be injured! She knew this because she had filmed many movies in her previous life, and she was very familiar with such scenes. The moment she saw the ignited explosives, she knew that something was wrong.

“Xiaoxiao, dodge!” Shen Que said nervously. However, it was too late. With a loud bang, Shen Que only had time to dodge to the side before she was knocked down by the shockwave of the explosives and fell to the ground.

Gu Xiaoxiao was not so lucky. To begin with, she was closer to the explosives than Shen Que. As soon as the explosives went off, Gu Xiaoxiao was sent flying!

All one could hear was Gu Xiaoxiao’s scream as the set that had been set up collapsed instantly! Everyone in the film crew was shocked by the horrifying scene and ran towards Shen Que and Gu Xiaoxiao.

Fan Cheng was the first to arrive beside Shen Que. The moment that little woman had fallen to the ground, his heart was doing somersaults as well. He helped the dazed little woman up and carefully examined Shen Que’s body, relieved to find Shen Que fine.

Thanks to her fast reaction speed, Shen Que only suffered some scratches when she fell to the ground. Other than that, she was fine, so she forced a smile at Fan Cheng, who was hugging her, to reassure him.

However, Gu Xiaoxiao was in a much worse situation because she had been sent flying. Her entire arm was badly mutilated..
