Chapter 73: Incident

The next day, at the tower.

The camera slowly moved forward, and a dark red figure appeared on the monitor.

Jiang Zhi held her long sword and blocked the assassin’s attack. She fought while retreating, and when she reached the edge of the city tower, she opened her arms and jumped down!

Master Xu, who was sitting in the crane, was still hungover. There was a large amount of sleeping pills left in his body. He was dozing off with his eyes closed, and he forgot to pull on the safety rope. It was not until his companion beside him shouted in fear when he suddenly woke up and desperately pulled on the rope…

Jiang Zhi’s body fell rapidly!

She realized that something was wrong and her heart almost stopped. She closed her eyes tightly…

Waves of exclamations came to her ears. The moment Jiang Zhi thought she would lose consciousness, a familiar and warm embrace protected her.

Jiang Zhi opened her eyes slightly. Lu Mian raised his hand to block the falling prop stone and protected her head. He asked anxiously in a tone that was uncharacteristic of him, “Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Let me see!”

He panicked and tried to lift up Jiang Zhi’s costume. His eyes were filled with fear.

Lu Mian was trembling all over…

If she left the world before him again, he would not be able to take it.

“I’m fine!”

Jiang Zhi could feel his fear. She stroked his back, trying to calm him down. “Don’t worry…”

The medical staff rushed over to check Jiang Zhi’s injuries.

Director Zheng had been scared half to death. He rushed over. “It’s okay, thank god you were here, Lu Mian!”

Lu Mian had rushed over from the monitoring area. He had only taken a few seconds, before anyone else could react!

No one in the crew could see how Lu Mian had caught Jiang Zhi!

Snap! Snap!

No one noticed the sound of a camera shutter in the dark.

A few hours later, a piece of entertainment news suddenly shot up to the top of the hot search rankings

“An accident happened during the shooting of ‘Beacon’. The scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress was born!”

In the photo, the scene of Lu Mian and Jiang Zhi hugging each other was extremely ambiguous, stimulating the hormones of the audience!

Lu Mian’s side profile was so handsome that it was suffocating. Although Jiang Zhi’s face was turned away from the camera, some snapshots of her fighting scenes were leaked. Her movements were clean, neat, and beautiful.

The eye-catching combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman and the atmosphere that rushed out of the screen made the netizens repost it one after another.

“Oh my God! Which artiste is this?”

“We have to chase after this show! It must be a fake couple, otherwise they wouldn’t be so brazen as to shoot this!”

“Beacon” was not yet broadcasted, but the netizens on the forums were discussing this scene. Even after learning that the third female lead and the young prince were not the official couple, they still could not help but ship them together.

The outstanding netizens used their own skills to restore the blurry image. They even made a few beautiful-looking posters that were then reprinted by several entertainment media outlets!

“Beacon’s” popularity was still high!

Cheng Yi ended the video conference and scrolled through the photos. He almost spat out the coffee in his mouth and kept dialing Lu Mian’s number.

The call went through. Cheng Yi was most agitated. He lowered his voice and stood in front of the French window, reminding him with a hiss, “You have to keep a low profile!”

“They even got a photo of you. If your family finds out about this, it will cause a huge ruckus!”

“You’re the young master of the Beijing entertainment circle. Do you want to venture into the adult entertainment industry? When they find out that I helped you, I’ll be dead for sure!

Cheng Yi mumbled, “Please let me live for two more days!”

Lu Mian leaned against the door and glanced at Jiang Zhi. He enlarged the photo and smiled with satisfaction. “That’s a nice shot. I’ll leave the public opinion to you. I can rest easy now.”

Lu Mian placed the phone down and set the photo as a wallpaper on his phone. He peeled an apple for Jiang Zhi.

Cheng Yi’s face fell as he lamented his tragic fate. He resigned himself to his fate and phoned all the media bosses to take down the photos…

The safety of the cast and crew of “Beacon” had gone wrong one after another, and it was all the props team’s fault.

The incident with Yu Wan had just been suppressed last time, and this time, something had happened to Jiang Zhi again. She was even photographed, which almost brought her unnecessary trouble.

To prevent such a situation from happening again, Director Zheng could only choose to fire Props Master Xu.

Master Xu, who had lost his job, was flustered. He grabbed his hair impatiently and squatted on the ground, begging Director Zheng to give him another chance!

“If I lose this job, I won’t be able to continue working in the industry in the future!”

No production crew would hire anyone with black marks in their records!

Master Xu’s gaze fell on Yin Yue, and he immediately thought of the bottle of wine. “It’s her! It must be her! Yin Yue brought two bottles of wine to my room last night. There must be something wrong with the wine! She wanted to harm Jiang Zhi, it has nothing to do with me!”

Director Zheng stared at Yin Yue suspiciously, as if he wanted her to give an explanation.
