Wu Haoming hung up as soon as he dropped this bombshell. When Yang Kun heard him, he was so scared that his vision turned black and his soul left his body. He almost stepped on the gas pedal. Fortunately, Ruan Shenglin reacted and stopped him.

Only then did the van stop beside a big tree on the side. Everyone was so scared that they trembled. Ruan Shenglin’s face was a bit pale.

Yan Zhengming, who was sitting in the backseat, didn’t know about the bombshell that Wu Haoming had dropped, but he saw Yang Kun drive wildly and almost crash into a tree.

Yan Zhengming couldn’t help but say, “Kun’er, just drive. Why did you answer the call? What’s wrong with you? If you don’t know how to drive, I’ll do it!” He then said to Ruan Shenglin, “Fortunately, Shenglin stopped you just now.”

Yan Zhengming paused when he looked at Yang Kun. Seeing that Yang Kun was in a daze and hadn’t reacted, he looked at Shenglin, who was also in a daze. However, their expressions were very similar, and their eyes were filled with stormy panic and horror. Not only were their eyes filled with fear, they were also shaking uncontrollably.

!!

Weren’t they overreacting?

Yan Zhengming didn’t think much of it and just thought that the two of them had been scared silly from almost hitting a tree. His heart couldn’t help but soften, especially when it came to Yang Kun. Given their childhood friendship, he couldn’t blame him even if they really hit a tree.

Yan Zhengming immediately glanced at Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong beside him and said in a low voice, “Kun’er and Shenglin are scared out of their wits. I’ll drive. The two of you help me drag him into the backseat!”

The two immediately understood what their manager wanted to do. When Brother Yan got out of the van, the two of them immediately leaned forward and dragged the dazed Brother Kun into the backseat and comforted Ruan Shenglin at the same time. They felt the same as Yan Zhengming; although they were quite puzzled by Brother Kun and Film Emperor Ruan’s reactions, they didn’t think much of it. They really thought that Brother Kun and Film Emperor Ruan were scared by the fact that the car had almost hit a tree.

When they dragged Brother Kun into the backseat and saw Brother Yan get into the driver’s seat, the two of them sighed with relief. Brother Yan was a good driver; he wouldn’t hit a tree.

Yan Zhengming started the engine and glanced at Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin. Seeing that they were still shaking, he felt that something was wrong. He was about to ask a few questions, when there was a knock on the car door outside.

Yan Zhengming rolled down the window and saw Ke Mingmei and Du Lan standing outside. As soon as the two saw Yan Zhengming, Ke Mingmei took the initiative. As for Du Lan, she felt a little embarrassed. Ke Mingmei didn’t care what Du Lan thought and immediately said to Yan Zhengming, “Brother Yan, can we take your van too?”

Yan Zhengming was also a bit surprised to see Ke Mingmei and Du Lan. It could be said that the two of them had been very firm before, especially Du Lan, and refused to believe that an earthquake would happen.

To be honest, even he didn’t believe it now. If Yang Kun hadn’t forced him into the car, and Kun’er and Shenglin had even convinced Director Wang, he really might not have left.

In the end, even Director Wang was leaving. What was the point of staying?

Of course, Yan Zhengming didn’t believe it, but it was better to believe than not in things like natural disasters. However, when his eyes swept over the unconscious Director Wang in the backseat, Yan Zhengming somehow felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

Did Director Wang really agree to leave the village?

This thought immediately flashed through his mind before he threw it to the back of his head. He felt that given how sensible Kun’er and Shenglin were, they shouldn’t do anything too bold and irrational.

Thinking this, Yan Zhengming couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it. They were all familiar with each other and there was space in the van, so Yan Zhengming let Du Lan and Ke Mingmei get in.

Ke Mingmei was grateful, but Du Lan was arrogant and disdainful. However, neither of them refused to get into the car.

As soon as the two got into the van, Du Lan couldn’t help but say critically and coldly, “I really don’t believe there will be an earthquake in this village tomorrow or the day after.” After a pause, Du Lan deliberately said to Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun, “Brother Yang, Film Emperor Ruan, who on earth told you this?”

In fact, Du Lan was more willing to stay in the village. She wanted the producer and assistant director to see her in a new light if she stayed. After all, the producer and assistant director had connections. This was a rare opportunity. If she expressed her loyalty, the producer and assistant director would definitely remember her.

As for what Film Emperor Ruan and Yang Kun said about the earthquake, she didn’t believe it at all. If Ke Mingmei hadn’t kept persuading her, and if not for the fact that Du Lan didn’t like the living conditions in the village, she wouldn’t have left. Most importantly, Director Wang had left the village, so there was no reason for Du Lan to stay.

Du Lan felt that the reason why Film Emperor Ruan and Yang Kun were acting so unusually was most likely related to that Chi woman. At the thought of that woman, a trace of disgust flashed in Du Lan’s eyes. She valued this movie very much to begin with. If she successfully finished filming this movie, she would definitely win an award. However, this good opportunity was ruined by that Chi woman. Who knew if this movie would continue shooting after this. Du Lan wasn’t a big-hearted person to begin with. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. That was why she deliberately asked this question, wanting to make everyone reject the Chi woman.

Seeing that Film Emperor Ruan and Yang Kun ignored her, Du Lan was indignant and continued to say to Yan Zhengming and the others, “Brother Yan, do you really believe that there will be an earthquake in this village? I think Film Emperor Ruan and Brother Yang might be in a fix – they might have been tricked by someone!”

The more Du Lan spoke, the more agitated she became. She itched for Yan Zhengming and the others to listen to her and stay behind with her. She could also persuade Director Wang to get everyone to stay behind. It was just that even after Du Lan said a lot, Yan Zhengming and the others’ faces didn’t change as they continued driving. Du Lan could only purse her lips and turn her head to see that there was still space in the backseat. Du Lan originally wanted to sit in the backseat alone, but she saw that Director Wang was ‘sleeping.’ Du Lan’s eyes darted around, and she prepared to wake Director Wang up and persuade him to stay in the village.

At that moment, Yang Kun finally came back to his senses, and his face changed drastically. He suddenly shouted anxiously at Yan Zhengming, “Brother Yan, drive faster, hurry, hurry and follow Master Chi. Hurry, there really is going to be an earthquake. Master Chi said that there really is going to be an earthquake.”
