Special Assistant Guo shivered when he saw the chilly and cold eyes that swept over him. It was his fault for being used to the wife-slave boss he usually encountered daily in the office back in the homeland.
Now that the impatient and cold-blooded boss that he knew from before was back, Special Assistant Guo's back was soaked with sweat.
"I'll tell the men to scout the country to look for clues."
Song Yu Han hummed a response, "I'll give you three days to find out who ordered them to ambush me. After that... it's better to replace everyone if they can't do their job well."
Special Assistant Guo severely nodded his head while lighting a candle for the men who would go out to scout for clues. He hoped they would be able to come back before the three-day limit was done.
On the other hand, Special Assistant Guo couldn't help but speak his thoughts and said, "Boss, aren't you going to tell the Little Madam about your wound? You'll be staying in another country for more than a month, won't she think of something else?"
Song Yu Han said, "There's no need to worry about that. I also cannot tell her about what happened today. Why? Should I tell her so she could book a flight and come here so she could become a target too?"
"It's better if she's in the country, Wu Qi will be able to ensure her safety."
Special Assistant Guo was thoughtful. Senior Wu was suddenly sent to another mission. It was to monitor and make sure that the Little Madam was well protected and safe. Their Boss was surrounded by too many enemies and each one of them were much crueler than the other.
But Special Assistant Guo still felt that their Boss should still tell the Little Madam about his situation. What if she thought that their boss was keeping a mistress from her and started to become indifferent towards their boss?
Special Assistant Guo still wanted to work under a wife-slave boss!
Song Yu Han naturally didn't know what was going on inside his special assistant's head and was thinking of listing out the possible enemies that could ambush him inside that country. However, he was slightly baffled when he saw the lists that he had written on a piece of paper.
The number exceeded a double digit, and it didn't even include the other enemies outside that foreign country.
Song Yu Han felt slightly flattered for gaining such a number of enemies since this would prove that he was becoming someone more powerful than nobody in this world could ignore.
However, he was once again plagued with worry since he no longer had to be worried about himself alone. He has Ran Xueyi now and if others find out about them, they would target her.
In any case, Song Yu Han only needed to purge them out as soon as possible so he wouldn't worry about anything, right?
...
In the Imperial Capital.
The next morning after that torturous night, Ran Xueyi woke up early and got changed to go outside.
The filming for the suspense movie titled < The Invitation > will start that day after a month of preparations and considerations for the casts and staff that will be part of the movie production and crew.
Zhao Fei timely parked outside of the villa and waited outside for Ran Xueyi. When she saw her artist coming out of the metal gate, she said, "You didn't answer my messages last night. Director Sun wanted to film your part with the male lead first. So today, you will have to shoot a few scenes with them ."
Ran Xueyi nodded her head before saying, "My character is more complicated to shoot. It's understandable why Director Sun wanted to shoot my scenes first."
Zhao Fei naturally read the script that her artist accepted and knew that 'Ruan Jiaojiao', Ran Xueyi's role this time, had two faces. She was the pure and na?ve and righteous policewoman beside the male lead, Gao Yang, and she was also a psychotic murderer that shook the country after its meticulous and almost impossible to solve crimes.
This time, the challenge was very high and Ran Xueyi needed to have the right mindset when acting this role.
"Did they say anything about A Thousand Lotus?" Ran Xueyi wasn't worried about her new film, she was more worried about the previous film she acted in but couldn't finish.
An actor who couldn't finish their job even if it wasn't their fault will definitely leave a bad taste in their mouths.
To perfectionist actors like Ran Xueyi, having not finished a role she was given a task to give life, she was really reluctant to leave it be.
Zhao Fei looked at her through the rearview mirror and shook her head. "Producer Li decided to stop the overall shooting of the film. With the government's involvement, it might be impossible to film it again. And even if there is a possibility of it continuing, it might take a while since the production team will have to mind the public's opinion."
This was the world of entertainment. Even if the production team replaced everyone involved in the film crew, once an actor's action irritated and involved the government, no matter how much they spend their investor's money and change casts, the public will still not agree to the idea of continuing the filming.
Besides, Gu Jiao's matter was still not done. It even involved suicide victims and bullying crimes that were heavily shunned by almost everyone in the country.
Ran Xueyi knew that the chances of < A Thousand Lotus > getting back on its feet and shooting their scenes again was too little. And if there really was a possibility of it coming back alive, it would probably take a few years before it would be picked up again.
"Don't worry about it, Xueyi. If they shoot the film again, they will contact you first. Right now, we should focus on getting more resources for you and for you to act in many films."
...
Poisonlily has something to say: Mood swings during pregnancy hit Ran Xueyi, a first timer, really hard. I want to pat her head.
