Chapter 187 Playing with a Rabbit
Song Ni had no intention of telling Tan Zheng about this matter. For one thing, it wasn't a big deal, and for another, Tan Zheng was still in America. She didn't want him to be distracted. Su Jingxi, despite his gentle image on screen and in the eyes of his fans, was actually very curious about many things. He volunteered to help Song Ni catch this "rabbit." Song Ni didn't refuse, but knowing Tan Zheng's jealous nature, she informed Chang Zi about it. This way, if Tan Zheng were to question her later, Chang Zi could testify for her. Director Jiang was still investigating the matter of the explosives but hadn't found any results. However, after this incident, the crew would inevitably strengthen their management, no matter what. This meant that if the person wanted to target Song Ni again, they would have to be a permanent staff member of the crew. "Director Jiang's crew isn't easy to get into," Song Ni merely curled her lips. "Don't you know money can make the devil push a millstone?" "No, I don't." "Then you're truly kind." Su Jingxi's lips twitched slightly. As an excellent descendant of Yanhuang, what was wrong with being kind? "Are you saying someone from outside is targeting you?" "Otherwise, who in the crew could I have offended?" Su Jingxi pondered for a long time. Although Song Ni appeared arrogant since joining the crew, wasn't that how most actresses in any crew behaved? Everyone didn't know Song Ni's background, but they knew she was exceptional. Moreover, Song Ni was generous and had treated the crew to countless meals. She truly hadn't offended anyone. However... "Wasn't there someone last time who ate your food and then gossiped about you?" Hearing Su Jingxi's words, Song Ni's eyes flickered, and she thought for a moment. Ah, she remembered. It was the one who ate her food and then said behind her back that she just had a little money. Later, she had reluctantly accepted money from Zhou Jin. Song Ni tapped her fingers on the armrest of the sofa. If she remembered correctly, that person seemed to have some connection with Bai Xiyuan. Su Jingxi had clearly remembered this point too. That person was very ostentatious, as if they wanted everyone to know about her relationship with Bai Xiyuan. "So, could it be your love rival?" "She's hardly my love rival." Tan Zheng didn't even remember who she was, so how could she be a love rival? "Do you think she's capable of doing such a thing?" Su Jingxi snorted coldly. When she was a newcomer, she shamelessly clung to his popularity and created dating rumors with him. What couldn't she do? However, despite thinking this, Su Jingxi spoke very courteously. "I never speculate on others with malice." Song Ni: ... Then what was that look of disdain on his face? "Well, you only talk nonsense." "Nonsense! I'm stating facts! This is the truth." Song Ni didn't continue arguing with Su Jingxi. She had only met Bai Xiyuan twice, and because she didn't like her and she fancied Tan Zheng, she had never observed her closely. Naturally, she didn't know what her character was like. However, given Su Jingxi's attitude... Song Ni felt that being influenced by others' subjective opinions wasn't necessarily a bad thing. "Then let's verify if you're talking nonsense." After all, there had just been the accident with the explosives, so she figured that person wouldn't make a move for a while. However, before each filming session, Song Ni would have Chang Zi and Chi Xia carefully check the wires. While she didn't fear pain, she cherished her life. With only half a month left for Song Ni's scenes, and only a week for the action sequences, Su Jingxi sat down beside Song Ni with a bag of spicy strips. "I think it's about time." Song Ni was chatting with her sister-in-law, discussing attending a fashion show in London together. She didn't look up when she heard Su Jingxi's voice. "Mm." Su Jingxi felt a bit brushed off by her attitude. "Hey, this is about your safety. Can you take it a bit more seriously?" Song Ni finally confirmed the time with her sister-in-law, put down her phone, and covered her mouth with her hand, giving a small yawn. Over time, she had somewhat lost her enthusiasm for "catching the rabbit." "I think you seem more excited than I am." Su Jingxi touched his nose. "It's just a bit boring filming." Song Ni smiled, looking at the person behind Su Jingxi. "Director Jiang would get angry if you said that. How could filming Director Jiang's project be boring?" Su Jingxi snorted. "Filming his projects is tedious and complicated. How can it not be boring?" Song Ni tried to suppress a smile. Director Jiang, who overheard Su Jingxi's complaint from behind, couldn't maintain his smile and hit Su Jingxi on the back of the head with a dark expression. "Filming my projects is complicated, is it?" Su Jingxi first flinched violently from the hit, then widened his eyes and looked at Song Ni in disbelief. Finally, he composed his expression and turned to face Director Jiang. "How could that be? Director Jiang, you must have misheard. I said that filming Director Jiang's projects requires high standards for oneself. Otherwise, how could one be worthy of Director Jiang's high level?" Song Ni: ... His expression changed so quickly. Director Jiang snorted and glared at Su Jingxi. "I'm not so old that I'm deaf." Su Jingxi smiled and got up to move a chair for Director Jiang. "Director Jiang, please, let's have a chat. We've almost finished filming this scene. Let's take a break." Director Jiang sat down and reprimanded Su Jingxi in front of Song Ni without hesitation. "This kid still remembers being lectured by me when he first debuted. I don't know how many bad things he's said about me behind my back." Su Jingxi started to get indignant. "Director Jiang, you can't play it like that. When did I say bad things about you?" "Weren't you just saying it?" "No." "Stubborn." Song Ni rarely saw Director Jiang so lively and watched with great interest. Just as she was enjoying herself, she saw Su Jingxi suddenly give her a look. She didn't quite understand it. The next second, Su Jingxi abruptly changed the topic. "Director Jiang, take a look at my hand." As he spoke, Su Jingxi rolled up his sleeve. Director Jiang leaned in and stared for a long time but couldn't see anything special. Su Jingxi pointed to a spot. "Look, this is where I was accidentally injured last time. There's even a scar." Hearing this, Director Jiang skeptically leaned in for a closer look. He did indeed find a scar, one that was only visible when he leaned in close and strained his eyes. "Heh, what exactly do you want to say?" Su Jingxi's playful smile faded, and he straightened his expression. "We haven't found the person responsible for what happened last time. I have a plan to find them." Hearing this, Director Jiang's brow furrowed. "You mean what happened last time was done by someone from the crew." Su Jingxi shrugged. "Otherwise?" "No, I mean, was it really someone from the crew? Not someone from outside?" Su Jingxi merely smiled without speaking. He even glanced at Song Ni. "I remember the actor who was most seriously injured was discharged from the hospital just last week." Director Jiang was quite confused by Su Jingxi. (End of this chapter)
