The victims' families looked at Han Fei who stood in the pool of blood and they calmed down.
10 years of waiting was long but also short.
The victims' families were getting older. Their stamina and energy were no longer what they used to be. They started to worry that if they passed away, no one would go after the killer to avenge their loved ones.
10 years was not enough to make them forget the pain of losing their family. Whenever they thought about it, they would wake up in the middle of the night.
"Alright, I believe you." Wei Youfu's father was the first to step forward. "Whether you're saying this to console us or you're being sincere, at least I know you're trying to find the killer."
The old man had met Han Fei once at his home. Han Fei and Li Xue had gone to investigate the case.
He did not say anything else but patted Han Fei on his shoulder. "Be careful."
The other victims' families put down their banners and slowly left the set.
After they left, Jiang Yi hurried to Han Fei's side. "Is your back alright? Does it still hurt? Where's the props team? Come help Han Fei change into a fresh set of clothes! "
"I'm fine." Han Fei did not care about the blood on him, he had been through much scarier things before.
"We're sorry that you've been through so much, we didn't expect this to happen."
"Director Jiang, I don't care about that but I have to tell you something." Han Fei turned to look at Ah Cheng who had just climbed up from the ground. "This movie can't be shot like this. If you insist, I will not only quit, I will help the victims' families to boycott the movie."
Once Han Fei said that, the surrounding workers were shocked. They all treated Han Fei as one of their own, they thought Han Fei was just joking.
"You're serious? I thought you were just consoling them. " Jiang Yi returned with the new set of clothes from the props team. He wanted to pass them to Han Fei but Han Fei did not accept them.
"You taught me at Xin Lu Film and Television Academy so I'll call you Sir but Sir, is the movie you're making really the movie you want?"
"You're not at my age yet so you don't feel that much. Sometimes, people need to learn to compromise." Jiang Yi noticed Han Fei's tone. "You're not really going to quit because of this, are you?"
"In the past, I cared a lot about acting, but now I've discovered that there are many things more important than acting." Han Fei removed the blood-soaked jacket. "I suggest you wait until the case is solved before you come back for the shoot. If you insist on doing this, it'll end up as a bad movie."
"Hey! What do you know? " Ah-Cheng crawled up from the ground. After he communicated with his manager, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "I thought you were some big shot, but you're just a minor character?"
"I'm not a big shot or an extra, I'm an actor." Han Fei looked at Ah-Cheng calmly.
"Do you have any works? Do you have any programs? Why don't you tell me your name so I can learn from you? "Ah-Cheng didn't dare to meet Han Fei's eyes. He looked away in disdain.
"We're all on the same side, there's no need for internal strife." Jiang Yi tried to mediate.
"Who's on the same side as him? How could a minor character have a sense of superiority? Didn't he just say that he wanted to withdraw? Then let him withdraw. Does he really think that the Earth revolves around him? " Ah-Cheng was a vengeful person. Earlier, Han Fei said that his acting was trash. Even though that was the truth, the truth was often the most hurtful.
"You'd better shut up! If not for Han Fei, that bucket of blood of yours would have landed on the victim's family! If that happens, our movie will be affected and your company will have to spend a lot of money on PR. " Jiang Yi was familiar with this industry and it was because of this that he refused to let Han Fei leave. Han Fei was the best actor in the whole movie.
After lecturing Ah-Cheng, Director Jiang walked to Han Fei's side. "This case has dragged on for 10 years and we still haven't caught the killer. Who knows how long it'll take for the case to be solved. Even if I can wait, what about the company that invested in this movie? There are hundreds of mouths waiting to be fed. Han Fei, you'd better be more realistic. "
"This man is crazy. He's so obsessed with acting that he thinks he's the son of the victim's family!" Ah-Cheng was extremely dissatisfied with Han Fei. "And he said that if we don't change the script, he'll help the victim's family to boycott us? Are you even related to this case? You must be crazy! "
"You'll find out soon enough whether I'm related to this case or not." Han Fei glanced at Ah-Cheng who was hiding in the crowd. His gaze was like he was looking at a dead body and it caused Ah-Cheng to shiver.
"You're related to this case?" Ah-Cheng was reminded of Han Fei's gaze earlier and cold sweat broke out. "Are you one of the escaped killers? You … you killed 7 people in a row? "
"Han Fei, I still hope that you can help me finish this movie. We can change part of the plot according to the victim's family's request." Jiang Yi ignored Ah-Cheng. He did not like Ah-Cheng, but since the other party had invested in the movie, he could not replace Ah-Cheng.
"You're heading in the wrong direction. If you continue like this, it'll be a bad movie." Han Fei changed out of his bloodied jacket. "Director Jiang, you've given me a chance when I'm out of work. Therefore, I sincerely hope that this movie of ours will be a good one and not a bad one. After some time, there will be a breakthrough in the case. By then, you'll be able to give this movie a perfect ending and give the victims a proper explanation. "
"You're just an extra, where do you get the courage to point fingers? You're just a small screw in this movie. If you don't learn to be humble, you'll never be able to make it big. " Ah-Cheng's manager also stepped forward. She showed concern for Ah-Cheng and then scolded Han Fei.
"Stop arguing!" Director Jiang raised his voice. He was already annoyed enough.
"Jiang Yi, I know he was once your student but don't you think the difference in your attitude towards us is too big?" Ah Cheng grumbled, "Don't forget, I'm the main character of this movie. You can do without anyone but without the main character, you won't be able to do anything."
Then he waved at his manager, "Let's go."
Ah Cheng left the set. Rather than saying he left early, it was more like he was afraid of Han Fei and did not want to stay there any longer.
After the two ran out of the apartment, the manager quickly grabbed Ah Cheng and asked worriedly, "Ah Cheng, I don't think it's a good idea for us to leave just like that, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm just giving them the cold shoulder for a few days. When they know they can't do without me, they'll come back to me. Then, I'll be able to come up with more conditions and they'll reluctantly agree to it. " A vicious expression appeared on Ah-Cheng's face. "That damn extra. I'll find a way to get rid of him. Who does he think he is?"
