Chapter 171: 171: Save me
“What are you looking at? Even if I don’t participate in Director Pan’s dramas, there will be other directors who will want me! This world doesn’t lack directors, the thing that they need is money! As long as I have the money, why should I be worried about getting roles?!”
Miss Yang Yue was extremely arrogant as she screamed in rage. Those who were laughing at her a moment ago suddenly lowered their heads, as they were afraid of offending her.
At this moment, her phone rang. When she saw that it was her fiancé, she felt so wronged that there were already tears rolling down her cheeks.
“Ah Xuan, you called me at the right time. Remember the role that you gave me before this? I was…”
“Xiao Yue, help me! You’re the only one who can help me now! Quick! Look for your uncle and get him to save me!”
Yang Yue was shocked by what she heard.
“Ah Xuan, what happened? What’s wrong? Why do I have to look for my uncle?”
Her uncle worked in H City’s police force.
But why was he looking for her uncle?
However, Lu Xuan did not answer her. The only thing that she could hear was a loud commotion.
Then, she heard someone order, “Take him,” followed by Aunt Lu’s earth-shattering cry as well as Lu Xuan’s screams of rage.
“Ah Xuan! What happened?! Ah Xuan!’
Yang Yue turned pale as she ended the call. When she tried calling him again, it was immediately cut off.
After that, no one picked up the phone.
Yang Yue’s face turned white as she continued dialing Lu Xuan’s number. but it remained the same. He was not answering her calls.
When she recalled the words ‘take him’ from the call before, Yang Yue immediately made a call to Lu Xuan’s mother, but it was still the same outcome. No one was answering their phone, even when she made multiple phone calls.
Yang Yue panicked, as she had no idea what to do.
As she stared at her phone, she saw the name—Lu Jinian.
Yang Yue blanked out as the memories rushed back into her mind like an old movie, all of them about her and Lu Jinian.
She had actually been dating Lu Jinian before this.
If it wasn’t because of the accident, she would have been Lu Xuan’s sister-in-law.
However, it was pointless for her to be thinking about all of this.
She would not give up on the Lu family, and she would never give up on Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was her last resort.
Since no one was picking up her calls, she had no other choice but to dial Lu Jinian’s number.
After ringing for a while, the call was answered and a warm, gentle voice came from the other end of the phone call.
“Looking for Lu Xuan?”
She did not expect this to be the first thing that he would say, which was why she paused for a moment. Then, she nodded her head and said, “Yes. I was talking to him on the phone a while ago and it seems like something happened. Jinian, do you know what happened to Lu Xuan?”
“He was arrested.”
“What? Arrested? Why would Ah Xuan be arrested by the police?” Yang Yue was shocked, saying these words out loud without thinking.
She did not notice the change in expression on Luo Jiani and Jing Lu’s faces.
“You can check up on it yourself if you don’t trust me.”
The voice on the other end of the phone call was extremely calm. His younger brother was arrested, yet his voice was dead calm, almost emotionless.
Yang Yue realized that she might have said something wrong and immediately apologized, “That’s not what I meant. Jinian, please don’t take it the wrong way.”
“I think you should be calling me Big brother,” the person on the call corrected her.
Yang Yue was once again pierced by his words and said, “Well… Could you tell me why he was arrested?”
“It looks like they found out that Professor Hong Lu from the Lawrence Institute is here to treat me, which was why they cooperated with some international mercenaries and aided in kidnapping Professor Hong Lu. Now that the matter has been revealed, he has been arrested.”
Chapter 172: 172: Lost soul
Lu Jinian had never spoken more than 2 words towards her, but Yang Yue didn’t feel happy even when he suddenly started saying so many words at once.
She kept saying to herself that this was impossible, but deep inside, her heart was already racing as she panicked.
She knew them too well and knew what Lu Xuan’s family was trying to do. It was definitely possible for them to do things like these.
However, they were always very careful and secretive. How was it possible that they got caught this time?
“If you really think that it’s impossible, you can get a lawyer for them. Oh, don’t you have an uncle who works at the police? Maybe your uncle would be able to help them clear their name. If there’s nothing important, I’ll hang up.”
“Wait…”
Yang Yue was still trying to say something, but the other party did not give her the chance, as he had already ended the call.
As she stared at her phone, she looked as if her soul had already left her body due to the shocking news.
Most of the staff and actors on set had overheard Yang Yue, who was on the phone. Although they didn’t know what exactly had happened, it was already obvious that Yang Yue’s fiancé had gotten arrested.
For rich people like them, they would only be invited to the police station for a cup of tea in most situations, if it wasn’t any serious crime. However, if he was arrested, it would mean…
At that instant, the look in their eyes drastically changed as they continued staring at Yang Yue.
Yang Yue was not in the mood to care about what they thought, immediately packing her stuff and leaving.
After the incident where Yang Yue got kicked off of the set by Director Pan, everyone became obedient and stayed quiet.
Even Luo Jiani, who had been targeting Jing Qian the entire time, had remained quiet throughout the entire table read.
The first scene that they discussed was with Jing Qian and Yunxiao. Director Pan did not say a single thing about Yunxiao’s part and was only talking about Jing Qian’s part the entire time.
Although she has never been an actress, she was someone who was quick at learning new things. Therefore, she could easily understand what emotions to express as soon as the director pointed it out to her. This may be because there were some skills that the previous owner had left behind.
Plus, the personality of the female character in ‘Mirror World’ was similar to her own, which was why Jing Qian was confident that she could play the role in this show.
He initially thought that people like Jing Qian, who only managed to join them because of her connections, would only be a pretty vase with no skills. However, when he was explaining the scenes to her, he realized that Jing Qian was extremely focused. She was able to accurately catch the main points when he asked her several questions, which was why Director Pan was very happy with Jing Qian’s performance.
After explaining an important scene to them, Director Pan was still unsure about it and decided for them to act it out once.
This was an important scene for the main couple, as it connected their loveline with the main plot. The scene starts with the male lead being ambushed in a foreign country and the female lead trying to rescue him. She was his wife who was as soft as a rabbit, and no one would have expected her to be the head of the mafia. In order to save him, she put on a mask and stood at the edge of the helicopter, shooting at his enemies on the ground.
The male lead, who was held hostage, looked up and saw the female lead, who was beautiful and charming. He immediately recognized her even while she was wearing a mask.
The female lead was valiant, but she always maintained a soft image in front of the male lead. Plus, the male lead was a soldier, which made it even more difficult for the female lead to tell him who she actually was. Therefore, while she faced the male lead, the female lead was extremely uneasy.
Director Pan initially thought that Jing Qian may not be able to act out the personality of a woman with a mixed character, who had a wild, valiant appearance on the outside but was as soft as a rabbit while she was with the male lead.
However, with Yunxiao’s help, Jing Qian was able to complete the scene successfully.
