Chapter 52 Stubborn to the end, it was all an accident.
"Oh shit!"
Li Qianqian gritted her teeth, cursed fiercely, and finally reluctantly opened her mobile banking app to transfer 400,000 yuan to Zhang Lei's account as the final payment.
After transferring the money, she slammed her phone onto the sofa, her eyes filled with resentment and bitterness. She gritted her teeth and forced out each word:
"Jiang Xinlan, you just wait! You got lucky this time, but I don't believe you'll always be this lucky!"
On set, Zhang Lei received a text message from the bank confirming the deposit had been credited to his account. Seeing the extra 400,000 yuan in his card, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief and a smug smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Lei pulled Xiao Wang aside and, despite his heartache, transferred 100,000 yuan to him.
"Although the matter didn't go through, you still took a risk, so it's not your fault. Here's the 100,000 yuan, but remember to keep it a secret. From now on, this matter is a secret between you, me, and heaven, and you must keep it completely to yourself."
Xiao Wang was initially very nervous, but seeing the 100,000 yuan made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Lei is right. No matter what, he should stick to the fact that it was dereliction of duty.
Zhang Lei also felt it was a worthwhile investment; in total, he earned 380,000 yuan.
Worth it.
He happily deleted all the chat history with the anonymous number, put his phone back in his pocket, and pretended nothing had happened as he blended back into the crowd.
Inside the First Municipal Hospital.
Jiang Xinlan's examination was completed very quickly.
I underwent a brain scan, an internal organ ultrasound, and an orthopedic examination. I was examined from head to toe, and after more than half an hour, all the test results came back.
Everything is normal. There are no internal injuries or fractures, not even a mild concussion or soft tissue contusion. All of my physical indicators are very healthy.
The doctors holding the test results were all amazed, and they exclaimed to Lu Chuan and Jiang Xinlan:
"Falling from a height of ten meters, even with a safety cushion, it's rare for someone to emerge unscathed, without even a minor bruise. It's practically a medical miracle. This young lady is incredibly lucky to be alive."
Looking at the examination report, Lu Chuan finally felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.
He repeatedly bowed and apologized to Jiang Xinlan:
"Xinlan, I'm so sorry. It was our crew's fault for not doing their job properly; you almost got into trouble. Don't worry, I'll investigate thoroughly when we get back and give you a complete explanation!"
Jiang Xinlan shook her head and said softly:
"Director Lu, it's not your fault. Nobody wanted this to happen."
Just then, the door to the consultation room was pushed open, and Shen Yu strode in. He immediately saw Jiang Xinlan standing there and rushed over.
"Shen Yu!"
Jiang Xinlan's eyes lit up instantly when she saw him, and she quickly walked towards him.
Shen Yu pulled her into a tight embrace, running his hands along her back and arms to make sure she was completely unharmed before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
He lowered his head and planted a deep kiss on the top of her head, his voice still carrying the lingering fear:
"You scared me to death! I'm so glad you're alright, I'm so glad you're alright."
"I'm really fine. The test results are all in, and everything is normal. Don't worry."
Jiang Xinlan leaned against him and gently comforted him.
Lu Chuan also quickly stepped forward, repeatedly apologizing to Shen Yu with utmost respect:
"Mr. Shen, I'm so sorry. It was a serious dereliction of duty on our part that almost caused Xinlan an accident. Please rest assured, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and bring the relevant personnel to justice!"
Shen Yu glanced at him, the chill emanating from him still lingering, his tone icy:
"Are the broken wires and on-set equipment still sealed off at the film set?"
"Yes, yes! I've had the entire area sealed off. No one's been allowed to leave; we're just waiting to go back and conduct a thorough investigation!"
Lu Chuan quickly responded.
Shen Yu nodded, put his hand on Jiang Xinlan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"The checkup is done, there's nothing wrong. Let's go back to the film set and get to the bottom of this."
Jiang Xinlan nodded. If it weren't for the jade pendant Shen Yu gave her today, she would have almost lost her life.
She had to find out who was behind this.
The three of them didn't linger any longer and immediately drove to the film and television base.
More than half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the film crew's office, and Shen Yu helped Jiang Xinlan out of the car.
As soon as I entered the film set, I could feel the oppressive atmosphere.
The wire stunt equipment was firmly surrounded by a cordon, with the broken main hoisting rope placed in the center of the cordon. The wire stunt team and the lighting team staff stood aside, waiting with varying expressions.
The assistant director stood guard nearby, never leaving their side. As soon as he saw them enter, he immediately came to greet them.
"Director Lu, Mr. Shen, you're back. I've pretty much figured out the situation. It was the wire crew who neglected their duties and failed to notice that the harnesses were severely worn after being used a few days ago."
Shen Yu ignored this statement, first helping Jiang Xinlan to sit down on a chair nearby, then walking to the cordon and bending down to pick up the broken main cable of the stunt team.
As he ran his fingertips along the broken and worn sections of the rope, his divine sense instantly spread out, taking in the lingering aura on the rope and the emotional fluctuations of everyone present.
He flicked his fingers, calculated with his fingers, and in just a few seconds, he understood the cause and effect.
After lowering the rope, Shen Yu turned around, his cold gaze sweeping across the crowd before finally settling on Xiao Wang, who was huddled nervously in a corner of the wire harness area.
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable sense of pressure: "You, come out."
Instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang's face turned pale instantly. He walked out hesitantly, his words starting to stammer.
"I... Mr. Shen, you... you called me?"
"Besides you, who else is primarily responsible for inspecting this suspension rope?"
Shen Yu took a step forward, releasing a faint but palpable pressure of spiritual energy that weighed down on Xiao Wang like a mountain.
"This rope is so worn out; according to the crew's safety regulations, it must be scrapped and replaced immediately. Why didn't you replace it?"
"Was it your own negligence that you failed to detect the wear and tear, or was someone instructing you to deliberately conceal it and not replace the rope?"
Xiao Wang collapsed to the ground with a thud, completely unable to stand up due to the oppressive force, yet he still stubbornly argued:
"It's...it was my own negligence! I didn't notice the rope was worn when I checked! It was just an accident! It has nothing to do with anyone else!"
