After Xu Tong got into the car in a daze, Ruan Shenglin’s face was filled with gratitude. Master Chi sounded cold on the surface, but she was really a good person.
Ruan Shenglin didn’t forget to express his gratitude. He was moved to tears as he instructed Xu Tong to take the car and listen to Master Chi.
Xu Tong, who was stupefied: …
Seeing that his wife had already gotten into the car, Ruan Shenglin sighed with relief. He was about to leave, when he thought of something and immediately turned around to say to Chi Shuyan, “Master Chi, I’ve already brought most of the crew here. Can we leave the village together?”
Ruan Shenglin was very careful when he said this, afraid that Master Chi wouldn’t agree. In fact, Master Chi had allowed it, but he and Brother Kun had brought too many people with them. Afraid that Master Chi would have a problem with it, he paused and added, “They all volunteered to leave the village with us!”
Chi Shuyan took in Ruan Shenglin’s cautious expression and then looked at the numerous vehicles behind them. Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun had brought most of the film crew with them. To be honest, she was very surprised that they had been able to trick so many people into leaving the village.
Before Chi Shuyan could ask, Wu Haoming couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Film Emperor Ruan, did everyone in your film crew really listen to you and volunteer to leave together? How did you convince them?”
When Wu Haoming asked this question, the others pricked up their ears to listen.
Ruan Shenglin felt a little guilty and embarrassed, and explained, “At first, they really didn’t want to leave the village. Later, Brother Kun and I made up an excuse and said that there would probably be a huge earthquake in Dashan Village tomorrow, and it would be best to leave the village immediately tonight.”
Feng Yuanlin and Chi Shuyan: …
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming: …
“They believed it just like that? So easily?” Wu Haoming’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Ruan Shenglin shook his head and continued. “No, we really had no choice. Brother Kun and I knocked Director Wang out first, then faked an order from him. Only then did everyone obediently leave the village. Director Wang is in my van!”
What Ruan Shenglin didn’t say was that even then, no one was willing to leave the village. They were quite unwilling and unresigned, but he and Brother Kun were quite bold. Everyone complained, but had no choice but to follow them. However, there were still some people who stayed in the village and refused to leave, such as the producer and assistant director, as well as Du Lan, Ke Mingmei and Qin Qing.
Thinking of how they insisted on staying in the village, Ruan Shenglin only sneered in his heart. Even if Master Chi hadn’t told him the truth about leaving the village, he firmly believed that she had a reason for leaving.
Ruan Shenglin’s words stupefied Chi Shuyan and the others, especially Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan. The more they looked at him, the more pleasing he became to the eye. Wu Haoming even gave Ruan Shenglin a thumbs up in admiration.
Ruan Shenglin didn’t get a reply for a long time. Seeing that Master Chi was staring at him without saying anything, Ruan Shenglin felt a little pressured. He hurriedly said to Chi Shuyan, “Master Chi, even if no one else believes you, Brother Kun and I do…”
Ruan Shenglin still wanted to say more, but Chi Shuyan waved her hand. Her eyes fell on the dark mountains outside the car window, and her expression darkened. She couldn’t forget the scene of the collapse in the ninth drawing. Time was tight, so she had to interrupt the warm chat Ruan Shenglin and Old Wu were having. “It’s about time to go!”
After a pause, she said to Ruan Shenglin, who was at the car window, “Don’t worry, I’m not angry. You did well, but time is tight. If there’s anything, we’ll talk in the car later. Don’t worry about Mrs. Ruan. By the way, remember to follow our car when you drive later!”
Ruan Shenglin was flattered and hurriedly nodded.
Without Master Chi’s reminder, Wu Haoming also remembered the earthquake. He didn’t dare waste any more time. He suddenly leaned out of the window and shouted at Ruan Shenglin, “Film Emperor Ruan, follow us later. Don’t fall behind. The sooner you leave the village, the better. The most important thing is that there really will be an earthquake in Dashan Village tomorrow. It’s over magnitude 9. Take care!”
With that, Wu Haoming rolled up the window and immediately stepped on the gas.
But just as the car drove a few meters, a familiar figure suddenly ran out in front and blocked the way. Wu Haoming was scared out of his wits when he saw the figure. He quickly stepped on the brake and couldn’t help but curse.
At that moment, a familiar and anxious voice rang out. “Wait, Shuyan, wait for me. Shuyan, Yuanlin, can I take your car too?”
When Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming looked out the window, they saw a nervous, expectant and anxious woman standing outside. Who else could it be but the Qin woman?
Seeing her banging on their car door with a pale face and anxious eyes, the two of them almost cursed on the spot.
The other party was clearly talking to Master Chi, but she looked pitifully at Director Feng. Seeing that there was no response from the car, Qin Qing didn’t give up. She looked even more anxious, afraid that the people in the car wouldn’t let her in, and she started talking about the past. Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were immediately disgusted.
“Yuanlin, I beg you, for the sake of our past together, let me get into the car, okay?”
Ruan Shenglin, who had finally snapped out of his daze, rushed over. When he heard Qin Qing’s words, he frowned, his face very unsightly and anxious.
With his wife in the car, Master Chi’s car was already full. How could the Qin woman get in unless they made Xu Tong get out? Thinking this, Ruan Shenglin’s face turned uglier.
Ruan Shenglin couldn’t wait to go back to his own van and leave the village. He was also worried that this woman would really squeeze his wife out. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said on Master Chi’s behalf, “Miss Qin, this car is already full. There are still many cars behind us. Go and take a look. There will definitely be a seat for you.”
In any case, this woman had done Master Chi and her friends dirty. Ruan Shenglin wasn’t afraid of offending Master Chi because of this woman.
