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

Many people gathered around Gu Xiaoxiao. Someone reached out and helped her up to check on her condition. Sun Yi hurriedly asked someone to send Gu Xiaoxiao and Shen Que to the hospital, but Shen Que refused to go. She felt that she was fine and had just been frightened. Thus, Gu Xiaoxiao was sent to the hospital with haste while Fan Cheng held Shen Que and comforted her the entire time.

Under normal circumstances, although the explosives would explode, it was only there for the sound effect. The thick smoke created by the props team would be thicker, but it would not threaten the lives of the actors. However, such a thing had happened now.

“Xiao Que, don’t worry. I will definitely investigate this matter,” Fan Cheng said solemnly from the side. He had a feeling that this matter was not that simple.

Shen Que leaned against Fan Cheng’s chest. Although she was traumatized by what had just happened, it was fortunate that she was not in any danger, unlike Gu Xiaoxiao. When she saw Gu Xiaoxiao’s state just now, she was afraid that Gu Xiaoxiao would not be able to act in the remaining scenes. Moreover, the injury on her arm looked so serious, and the exact diagnosis and prognosis were still unknown.

Based on her knowledge in these matters, she knew for a fact that a normal explosive would not have such great power. Shen Que raised her head to look at Fan Cheng weakly as she said, “I’m afraid this matter will not be as simple as we thought.”

“Don’t worry. If someone is behind this, then he won’t be able to escape the responsibility that he should bear,” Fan Cheng said in a louder voice, deliberately making it so everyone in the production team could hear him.

The production team was in a mess. After sending Gu Xiaoxiao on her way to the hospital, the team’s medical staff soon brought over a medical kit to help Shen Que treat the abrasions on her body.

Shen Que did not leave. It was not only because her injuries weren’t serious, but also because she felt that there was something wrong with the amount of gunpowder in the explosives. Someone must be behind all this and she wanted to stay here to investigate.

At this moment, the crew was gradually dealing with the chaos on the set in an orderly manner. The props master also came over to personally check the explosives. With the occurrence of such a thing, the first person who was responsible was the props master. To reduce his liability, the props master was especially meticulous when he checked the explosives. He clearly remembered that when he prepared the explosives yesterday, the amount of gunpowder within had been precisely distributed.

The props master reached out and grabbed the residue that had already been blown to ash. He ran the residue through his fingers, and seeing that there was so much powder left, he concluded that these explosives had been tampered with by increasing the amount of gunpowder inside. The props master, the scriptwriter, and Sun Yi walked over together. When Sun Yi saw the abrasions on Shen Que’s body, he felt somewhat guilty.

“Sir Nie, someone tampered with these explosives and increased the amount of gunpowder within. That’s why they were so powerful after they exploded.” The props master did not dare to look at Fan Cheng. He kept his head lowered when he reported the information that he had discovered during his inspection.

“As I expected. Sun Yi, report this matter to the police. After what happened in your production team, it’s apparent you can’t even protect the safety of your actors. We’ll have to hand it over to the police,” Fan Cheng said with a solemn face.

“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll call the police right away. Since something like this has happened on the set, the person who did this won’t be able to escape!” Sun Yi said hatefully. He scanned his surroundings, his face showing an unprecedented coldness. To think that someone among these people dared to tamper with his set! Even if Fan Cheng wanted to let the mastermind behind the scenes off the hook, he, as the director, would never agree to it!

Hearing the conversation between Fan Cheng and Sun Yi, Yuan Ranran, who was hiding behind the crowd was extremely flustered. She did not expect things to turn out this way.. Shen Que had only suffered a small scratch!
