Chapter 54: The Third Female Lead

The man pushed up his black-rimmed glasses. It was obvious that he was so nervous that his voice was trembling. He could not stop himself from trembling, yet he was taking all the blame.

“I secretly swapped Yu Wan’s props. I’m the one who caused her to fall off her horse. It has nothing to do with Yin Yue!”

Jiang Zhi looked at him with some familiarity. She remembered that he was once a staff member of Star Glory. As Yin Yue’s assistant, he also chose to go through the resignation procedures after Yin Yue canceled her contract.

The internal staff of Star Glory said that he had pursued Yin Yue for a few years and could be said to be the most affectionate of all pursuers. Whether be it on the set or in life, he was willing to be a shadow that could not be seen in the light to take care of Yin Yue. Even if he knew that she was the mistress of a rich second generation for money, he was unwilling to leave!

Yin Yue was a little shocked. Her eyes wavered and her emotions were complicated. However, she quickly cooperated with him and pointed at him while scolding him.

“How could you do such a vicious thing? And you almost implicated me! How detestable!”

“Do you know how much of an impact it has had on me?”

Yin Yue showed her disdain in public. The male assistant lowered his head and did not refute her words. There was a look of relief on his face.

Jiang Zhi interrupted Yin Yue’s words. Looking at the dress he was holding, she said, “The dress the murderer was wearing was female, and it did not match your height and weight. Do you have any credibility in saying that the murderer is you?”

The male assistant was a little flustered, but his face quickly turned red as he choked out, “I… Actually have a fetish for women’s clothing!”

“Yu Wan can’t be compared to Yin Yue in any aspect, but she relied on her starlight to get the role of the third female lead. I hated her, so I did all these things…”

“I did all these things. I’m willing to take responsibility. Stop guessing about!”

Sirens could be heard in the distance. The male assistant surrendered and left with them in handcuffs. When he passed Yin Yue, he secretly looked up and smiled at her.

His eyes seemed to say, “I’ll take the blame for you. Don’t be stupid! Continue filming!”

Jiang Zhi watched their conversation but did not expose them.

Lu Mian stood beside her and asked softly, “Are we going to let her go just like that?”

Jiang Zhi looked at the police car that was driving away, “He volunteered to take the blame. Even if he told the police the evidence he had, there’s no way to determine that Yin Yue is the murderer. The delay will be very long and affect the progress of the film crew. It will drag down the relationship between him and director Zheng. It’s not worth it.”

“I have a way to make Yin Yue pay the price she deserves.”

Jiang Zhi looked back at Yin Yue who had sagged in relief.

She had just escaped from a disaster. She was still restless and voiced her thoughts to Director Zheng.

“Yu Wan’s recovery period will take at least half a month. We can’t delay our progress. Why don’t we choose a new female lead and replace her to shoot the scenes? This way, we can minimize the losses of the production team! What do you think?”

Director Zheng hesitated. This was obviously the most reasonable solution.

However, due to Cheng Yi and Zhang He, he did not dare to speak rashly. If he offended anyone, it would be troublesome.

When Zhang He saw Jiang Zhi’s darkened face, he wanted to cover Yin Yue’s mouth and gnash his teeth in hatred.

“The director has the most say in the matters of the production team. I will not interfere with your decision.”

He immediately made his stance clear.

Yin Yue lacked someone to back her up. She frowned and complained, but she did not dare to say it out loud!

She thought that Zhang He was some kind of divine financier who could help her gain some fame and status in the entertainment industry. She never expected him to be a coward who was completely inferior to Jiang Zhi’s friend!

Moreover, this Cheng Yi was also very handsome…

Yin Yue looked at Cheng Yi with a meaningful gaze, but he directly ignored it and lowered his head to speak to Jiang Zhi.

“Yu Wan is an artiste from Starlight. How do you think we should deal with her? Speak up! With me around, even if the entire team has to stop work and wait, I will make up for this part of the funding…”

Whoosh!

The production team was surprised by Cheng Yi’s financial strength, but Cheng Yi looked at Lu Mian and said silently, “You have to reimburse her for this!”

Lu Mian: “…”

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”

Jiang Zhi did not notice that there was something wrong with the two of them. Her gaze swept past Yin Yue and she said to director Zheng, “The crew has entered the filming cycle, and it’s already very good for the actors to get used to each other. It’s not only a waste of time to re-cast and start filming again. It’s very likely to affect the quality of the filming. Director Zheng, you should know very well…”

Indeed, Yu Wan’s aura and acting style were the most suitable candidates for the third female lead!

If not for the fact that he had no other choice, director Zheng would not have been willing to replace her.

“I’ve read the script. During this period of time, Yu Wan has a lot of action scenes and action scenes. Her condition indeed makes it difficult to shoot martial arts scenes for a short period of time. If you’re worried about the progress of the filming, I can be her stunt double to complete the filming until she completely recovers.”

“After all, my body shape is similar to Yu Wan’s, so the audience won’t notice it easily.”

After Jiang Zhi said that, the crew all looked at her strangely.

Could it be that this manager also had a dream of being an actress?
