Chapter 22 - Not Convenient For Girls

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Director, the item was indeed lost on set. If word gets out, it would be bad for everyone’s reputation. Why don’t we get someone to look for it again? Everyone should also check if they have it on them. It’s not certain who took it by mistake. Also, that little assistant, haven’t you been in the dressing room the whole time?”? “You should look for it too.”

Just as Li Zhi’en thought that this matter would end just like that, Gu Linyan, who had chosen to watch from the sidelines all this while, suddenly spoke up to break the deadlock.

His motive was very obvious. It was to drag the people around Li Zhi’en into the water.

Given that the matter had blown out of proportion, no one would be able to escape, not even the people around them. Li Zhi’en had to understand this logic deeply.

“But, I…”

The assistant did not expect that she would become the target again. Her expression was very complicated, and he hesitated and refused to move forward.

The more it was like this, the more suspicious it was.

Gu Linyan was usually easy-going on set and everyone had a good impression of him. When he said that, everyone followed him and looked over.

“She’s a girl, it might not be convenient. Let me help.”

Sister Li stood behind the director and when she saw the situation, she immediately pulled up her sleeves and walked towards the assistant. Li Zhi’en wanted to stop her, but when he met Gu Linyan’s fierce gaze, he retracted his thoughts.

“Cooperate well with her. The entire production team is waiting for you.”

After a long while, she could only grit her teeth and instruct.

“Don’t worry. So many people are watching. I won’t malign you.” As she said that, Sister Li raised her hand and reached towards the pocket on the assistant’s body.

Coat Pocket, No; shirt pocket, no.

Pants pocket…

“Yo, what is this thing? It feels hard.”

It did not take long for Sister Li to find the necklace that Li Zhi’en was talking about. It was exactly the same as the one shown in the picture earlier. The huge pink diamond shone with a mesmerizing light under the illumination of the lights.

“I didn’t expect that the person who hurt you in the end would actually be the person you trusted the most.”

Hearing Gu Linyan’s words, Li Zhi’en’s face instantly turned pale.

“I trusted you so much, and you actually stabbed me in the back?! You’ve delayed everyone for such a long time, and I even wanted to give you a raise. I’m really blind!”

In the next second, Li Zhi’en slapped the assistant’s face.

“PA –“

Things happened too quickly, and no one could react in time.

By the time Yun Xi raised her head to look over, the assistant’s face was already red, and it was especially obvious on her fair skin.

“Since the real culprit has been found, then let’s pack up and get ready to call the police. Our production team doesn’t need people with dirty hands and feet.”

After causing such a ruckus for such a long time, Director Zhao finally understood what was going on. What lost things? They were all acting together with the people around him in order to target him.

It was not easy for Gu Linyan to find someone who was willing to act with him, so he could not let them leave in anger.

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. We’ve already delayed everyone for so long. We’ll settle the rest in private. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely give everyone a proper result.”

After saying that, Li Zhi’en was ready to leave.

“Wait, you haven’t apologized to Yun Xi yet. What’s therush?”

Before they had even walked out of the dressing room, Gu Linyan had already called them back.

“You want me to apologize to her? ! Are you kidding me?” Li Zhi’en’s face was full of disbelief. He almost wrote the words ‘I’m not willing’ his face.

Not to mention her, even Yun Xi herself did not react in time..
