Pushing Qiao Lian’s wheelchair along, the junior assistant walked out of the room.
Although the filming location was considerably close to the hotel, there was still a little distance in between.
The filming crew had made a car available for their use and it was parked in the underground parking.
They both went directly to this parking.
The underground parking’s lighting was dim, and the environment was rather spooky.
Qiao Lian looked around and, for some strange reason, had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
She had that naggy feeling, as though she had neglected something.
Suddenly, she turned to look at the assistant and asked, “Where’s my cell phone?”
In her panic, she had not thought of giving Shen Liangchuan a call first.
Even if he were in the midst of filming and could not pick up any calls, there still was Song Cheng.
She knew that the moment she told him it was an urgent matter, he would rush back here immediately, for sure.
But…
The junior assistant froze momentarily and then she lightly slapped her head, saying, “Sister Qiao, the cell phone- I left the cell phone in the room!”
Qiao Lian was panic-stricken.
Her pupils shrank as she watched her junior assistant turn around and run towards the elevator. “I’ll go get it for you right now. Wait here for a bit.”
As soon as she said these words, she had gone around the corner and disappeared into the distance.
The horror in Qiao Lian was growing. She could only feel a freezing cold.
She gulped nervously, unable to move as she was in a wheelchair.
Her eyes swept the environment steadily.
The dim light was giving her the chills.
Taking in a deep breath, she turned her head around and swept her gazed again.
At this time, most of the crew workers were on the set, so there was no one in the hotel parking.
But as soon as this thought crossed her mind, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the car parked in front.
The car’s headlights were turned on, training them on her.
Qiao Lian widened her eyes and watched in disbelief as the car came straight at her.
Her pupils shrank as she used all the strength she could muster to maneuver her wheelchair out of the way, so that she could avoid a collision with the car.
But she wasn’t used to handling a wheelchair after all, and she wasn’t very familiar with operating one.
In this moment of urgency, she completely fumbled.
Her heart jumped into her throat as she saw the car continue to advance towards her, closing the distance between them rapidly.
She extended one hand reflexively to shield her eyes from the glaring light, and the other slid around her belly in an attempt to protect it.
The only thought running through her mind now was that this was it, this was the end.
–
At the filming location.
Shen Liangchuan and his double were filming the final fighting scene of the advertisement.
In a moment of distraction, he was hit on the arm by the sword that his double was wielding.
The double panicked because of the unexpected incident, as did the director.
It was obvious that Shen Liangchuan had been distracted then, but a mistake like this was not the sort of error that Best Actor Shen usually made.
What was the matter?
The double apologized profusely while the director tried to put in a good word.
Shen Liangchuan, however, furrowed his brow. He looked at the panicking double and said calmly, “It’s alright, it was my fault.”
He touched the throbbing spot where he was hit and took a deep breath, as he walked to the side of the set. Song Cheng and the crew doctors hurried towards him to tend to the injury.
With his gaze fixed on it, he asked, “What’s Xiao Qiao doing at the moment?”
Song Cheng paused and said, “I suppose Ms. Qiao is still in the hotel.”
Just as he said this, Shen Liangchuan received a notification on his0 cell phone. There was an incoming message.
He looked down at the screen and saw that it was a message from Qiao Lian.
