Chapter 147 If you want revenge, why don't you go after him?
This happened a year ago.
The fire not only burned Qiu Ya, but also several staff members, causing a great uproar and becoming widely known.
Qiu Ya was forced to withdraw from filming, her life hanging by a thread.
Zhao Baixue thus became the female lead in this drama.
Zhao Baixue wasn't the only one eyeing this role; many actresses in the entertainment industry were also eager to get the part.
It's not just because the character is well-developed, but also because of the superb production team: a famous director, a renowned screenwriter, and a huge investment. Everyone knows that this show is destined to be a huge success.
Qiu Ya was just a nobody, but her superb acting skills impressed the director and screenwriter, and it was their persistence that made Qiu Ya the female lead.
Gu Heng approached them multiple times, offering houses and cars, but still couldn't help Zhao Baixue land the role.
Unexpectedly, a fire broke out shortly after filming began.
“Qiu Ya was resting in the tent at the time, with three other staff members beside her. The fire started slowly, and if they were really dozing off, they would have been woken up by the smoke. But they were sleeping soundly, and only woke up groggily when the fire was raging.” I looked straight at Zhao Baixue. “Moreover, the people around were only discovered after the fire completely engulfed the tent. People at the scene said it was because their tent was pitched too far away, but later investigation revealed that the location was deliberately arranged to delay the rescue!”
"Since you're so suspicious about this, you should go find the police, not ask me!" Zhao Baixue was visibly panicked; she tried to stall for time.
I sneered, "How do you know I didn't call the police? How do you know that what I'm saying wasn't found out by the police?"
Zhao Baixue paused.
"Qiu Ya and the others were taken to the hospital and had their blood drawn for tests, but unexpectedly, they left behind some fatal evidence." I glanced at Zhao Baixue: "Guess what it is?"
"How should I know?" Zhao Baixue said anxiously, "Shen Yan, what exactly are you trying to do? You're wasting everyone's time."
"If it weren't for this occasion, and if you hadn't just slandered me from the audience, I really wouldn't want to expose your true colors here." I scoffed lightly: "Besides, I think many people would really like me to make things clear here."
Zhao Baixue bit her lip.
“You’d better not interrupt me again,” I warned. “Otherwise, you’ll be the one wasting my time, unless you think someone can save you.”
Zhao Baixue subconsciously looked at Gu Heng.
But Gu Heng had already left.
I continued, "The test results show that Qiu Ya and the others had high concentrations of sedatives in their blood. In other words, they didn't notice the fire immediately because they were already unconscious. Qiu Ya still has to film a scene later, and they just need a short rest. Is it necessary for them to take sleeping pills, and for all four of them to do so? Moreover, the hospital has already proven that it wasn't sleeping pills, but a banned substance."
Zhao Baixue pursed her lips: "Perhaps they ate it by mistake."
“Indeed.” I smiled. “That’s a possibility, but according to the police’s thorough investigation, none of them had any way to buy or obtain this banned drug. On the contrary, your driver at the time had been arrested for selling banned drugs.”
The audience gasped in surprise.
Zhao Baixue hurriedly explained, "He is him, and I am me. He was a driver hired by the film crew. I don't know him!"
"Not familiar with him?" I sneered. "Didn't you give him some money this summer after his daughter took the college entrance exam?"
Zhao Baixue replied, "We're colleagues, and her family is struggling financially. What's wrong with me helping them out?"
"Her family is in trouble?" I said with a hint of sarcasm. "This year they moved to a bigger house and had a second child."
Zhao Baixue bit her lip tightly.
I took a deep breath: "Since you refuse to admit it, then I'll present one last piece of evidence."
I took out my phone and played a recording.
"I never expected Qiu Ya to be so ungrateful. I offered her two films in exchange for this movie, but she refused. She's a stubborn person who won't listen to reason. I think she should be taught a lesson!"
"Giving her a lesson won't really make her quit."
"Then let's go even further and make it completely impossible for her to participate!"
How ruthless do you want to be?
"Anything that can completely prevent her from filming is fine, such as disfigurement, or missing an arm or a leg."
"This is a difficult matter. What if it comes to light later?"
"Money makes the world go round, I refuse to believe no one dares to take this job."
“I can find someone, your driver. I talked to him and found out that in order to film smoothly in the area, the crew specifically hired some people from the streets, and he is one of them. These people do things for money. Do you want to give it a try?”
"Then call him over, I'll ask him."
The recording ends.
Zhao Baixue's face had lost all color.
I scoffed: "I think you're very familiar with this recording. It's from a year ago, the voices of you and your agent."
“I have a second part, it’s the conversation between you and that driver.” I took out my phone.
Zhao Baixue grabbed my wrist, her eyes blazing with fury: "Enough! Shen Yan, are you really going to ruin me? We've known each other since high school, and I don't think I've ever done anything to wrong you!"
"You still have the nerve to talk to me about high school?" My eyes darkened. "Zhao Baixue, I still remember how you liked Gu Heng back in high school and how you had people bully me!"
Zhao Baixue paused.
"Don't think I don't know that the reason those classmates dare to bully me so openly is because of your instigation." I said coldly, "I often get scolded by the teacher because of you and those class representatives. Every time you collect my homework, you secretly throw it away and then report it to the teacher, saying that I didn't hand in my homework. No matter how I explain, they don't believe me. After all, you swear that I didn't hand it in, and they believe you, a so-called good student with excellent character and academic performance, more."
So later on, I wrote them but didn't teach them; I waited for the teacher to ask me to hand them in.
Otherwise, I don't know how badly they would bully me!
“You don’t need to argue. I logged into my old QQ account yesterday and saw an apology letter from my former math class representative. She’s suffered so much over the years because she bullied me, and now she wants me to forgive her? It’s ridiculous. Why should I forgive her?” My eyes darkened slightly. “They want to feel better, but I won’t! She’ll never escape the torment of her conscience for the rest of her life. Not just her, but you, and those other people!”
Zhao Baixue stared at me blankly: "But I didn't do anything wrong. Gu Heng just doesn't like you. You keep pestering him. If you want revenge, why don't you go after him?"
