“Or could it be that you’ve actually been secretly in love with me for a long time, and that’s why you’ve deliberately used such a method to harass me?”

Having said that, Yun Xi cast a glance at Gu Linyan, and just happened to meet his calm gaze. An inexplicable sense of confidence rose in her heart.

“Anyone can play the lead role, but not everyone is willing to take on my role. No one wants to give up their entire future for a single film. Those who have nothing to lose have nothing to be afraid of. I advise Miss Li to think about it properly on your own.”

Actually, when she said this, Yun Xi was still feeling a little uneasy because she did not know what the director was thinking.

Li Zhi’en was very famous. Choosing her as the female lead would only have a positive effect on this movie. She was simply taking advantage of a logical loophole by saying this. As long as she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she would realize that it was not valid at all.

There were too many people in this circle. They were people vying even for the role of the nameless corpse on the ground, wha more a role that could have a scene with the Best Actor.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi could not help but observe Gu Linyan’s expression. He happened to notice her.

“Why are you looking at me? I didn’t say anything.”

“It’s nothing.”

Just as the atmosphere was gradually turning awkward, Director Zhao suddenly led a group of staff into the room. The already small makeup room was instantly filled to the brim.

“What’s wrong? I heard that there was a small conflict between the actors, so I brought some people over to take a look.”

“Zhao… Director Zhao? Why are you here?”

Li Zhi’en did not expect to alarm so many people, and instantly panicked. She hurriedly walked over to her assistant’s side, trying to figure out something.

Gu Linyan was the tallest person in the room, so he casually lifted his chin and saw everything she was doing, “Why are you so nervous? I was the one who called the director over. After all, everyone is now a member of the production team. If there’s any problem, it’s better to solve it as soon as possible, so that it won’t be too late.”

“That’s right, Zhi’en. There’s another scene for you tonight. Don’t waste your time. What exactly did you lose? If it’s expensive, we can call the police right now and let the professionals help deal with this problem.”

Seeing the look in Gu Linyan’s eyes, Director Zhao immediately cooperated and said.

“It’s not expensive, it’s not expensive. It’s just a necklace. I quite like it, so I wanted to look for it. There are plenty at home. There’s really no need to trouble yourself.”

With so many people witnessing it, Li Zhi’en naturally did not dare to lie. She was immediately scared out of her wits.

Director Zhao naturally knew what was going on, so he did not delve further. He only instructed a few staff members around him to look around the scene.

“Since it’s something that Zhi’en likes, it’s best to find it. You guys go to the scene and see if there are any clues. Also, check the security cameras at the entrance. Don’t let it go.”

“Got it, director.”

As soon as he said that, more than a dozen field workers quickly moved out and began to search around the set. They were so big that they wished they could lift up the tiles on the floor.

There were too many people. No matter how capable Li Zhi’en was, he could not scold all the staff. He could only let them search in the dressing room while he hid in a corner with his assistant.

In just ten minutes, the situation of both parties had changed drastically.

“Director, we searched the entire venue. There’s nothing.”

“Nothing? How is that possible? Could it be that the necklace could fly out by itself?” Director Zhao was also very surprised when he heard this result. Just as he was about to comfort Li Zhi’en, he realized that she had secretly let out a sigh of relief..
