Late at night, Quan family.
Quan Ziye was lying on the sofa drinking wine. He was only wearing thin pajamas and the heater in the room was not turned on.
When the old housekeeper saw this, he immediately went into the room and found a furry blanket for him. "Young Master, it's cold …"
"Have you found Qian Qian?" Quan Ziye narrowed his eyes and raised his wine glass high as he asked the butler. His actions were bewitching and extremely eye-catching.
"We haven't found her. It's like the Second Miss has evaporated into thin air. We've searched the entire capital, but we still can't find her," the old housekeeper replied. "Young Master, why don't we …"
"Get out." Quan Ziye knew what the old housekeeper was going to say, so he said coldly, "Other people might not know, but don't you know what Qian Qian means to me?"
The old steward sighed and finally said, "I will continue to help you, young master. Hopefully, Madam and Master won't find any clues."
Quan Ziye sneered, "So what if I find out?"
He and Lin Qian were not related by blood to begin with. Plus... he had desires for Lin Qian. How could he possibly be a good brother to her?
"Second Miss wouldn't want you to do this. Madam's health isn't good. She wouldn't want to agitate Madam."
"This kind of plot sucks." Quan Ziye smashed his wine glass on the floor as if he was complaining about his status. "Since that's the case, I'll cut ties with the Quan Family and marry into your family. Is that okay?"
The old butler did not speak again.
In fact, he even hoped that Quan Ziye could go out and film so that he could meet more women. Even if they were from the entertainment industry, he would accept them.
"Lin Qian, don't even think about escaping."
…
Fang Yu's investigation into Lin Qian continued. After he was done, he reported to Mo Ting in his office, "Quan Ziye isn't someone that plays by the rules, but he is extremely patient with Lin Qian. No matter where Lin Qian is, he will find all kinds of excuses to appear nearby. "
"But, Lin Qian is stubborn and has already rejected Quan Ziye for many years. Even though Quan Ziye has touched and kissed her, she will never give him a second chance."
"Interesting."
"Are you sure you want to keep such a dangerous person by Tangning's side?" Fang Yu asked. "If Quan Ziye finds out, Beijing is going to be in chaos again."
"It doesn't matter, as long as Ning likes it," Mo Ting replied calmly.
Tangning's career had stabilized, but it wasn't stable enough.
Simply winning one award was not enough to solidify Tangning's status. So, Mo Ting was not going to stop her from acting. He wanted to make her dreams come true. As for other matters, Mo Ting knew she knew how to weigh the pros and cons. Moreover, she needed a loyal and affectionate person by her side. Lin Qian was obviously a good candidate.
However, Mo Ting had no idea that something big was about to happen to Tangning that very night.
…
As it was a night scene, and to create a sense of danger, Tangning even added artificial rain as she descended into the well.
"Ning Jie, it's going to be very dangerous in a moment. Are you sure you don't want to use a stunt double?" Lin Qian looked at the staff and asked worriedly.
"There's no need." Tangning understood that Lin Qian hadn't gotten used to her work style, so she didn't need a substitute. She knew, if the person that replaced her was Chen Xingyan, her family would be heartbroken.
Lin Qian glanced at the props in the staff's hands and reminded them, "Make sure to take care of Ning Jie's safety."
"Don't worry, this well isn't a deep one. It's already been cleaned beforehand."
"But, falling from such a height will still injure you," Lin Qian emphasized.
Tangning could sense that Lin Qian truly cared about her. She was here to repay her debt of gratitude. Some people were like this. If you showed them a little kindness, they would be willing to repay you for the rest of their life.
"OK, OK, I will be careful."
"OK, Tangning, let's begin," the director called out as the staff got into position.
At the same time, Tangning was tied up with a steel cable, also known as a wire.
"Be careful."
As Lin Qian watched Tangning act, she suddenly felt a little sad. She was reminded of Quan Ziye. Did he experience the same thing when he was filming an action scene?
She knew how much Quan Ziye had done for her over the years, but she forced herself not to accept him because she couldn't let Mother Quan down.
She had already liked Quan Ziye since she was a student. But, Mother Quan had warned her that if she dared to seduce Quan Ziye, she would rather commit suicide than see Lin Qian become her daughter-in-law.
The humiliation from many years ago was the main reason why Lin Qian refused to accept Quan Ziye.
She didn't care about her pride, she simply hated him.
"Ning Jie... Oh God, Ning Jie..."
As the sound of a rope being tied was heard, all the staff froze in shock. Tangning had actually fallen into the well.
Lin Qian ran forward and turned to the staff, "Stop setting up the rain."
Afterwards, she tried to jump into the well, but was stopped by the staff, "You can't go. It's dangerous."
"If Tangning can go, why can't I?" After speaking, Lin Qian wrapped the wire around her body and said to the staff, "Quick, get someone to help me."
Without hesitation, Lin Qian jumped into the well, "Ning Jie... Ning Jie..."
"I'm fine," Tangning replied. "But, I can't see."
Lin Qian immediately turned on her phone and saw Tangning sitting in the well with blood all over her arm.
"Are you badly injured?"
"It's OK, I can still hold it in. You're a woman, how could you just jump in like that?"
Lin Qian stood at the bottom of the well and immediately ran over to check on Tangning's injuries, "I think you scraped your arm when you fell in. Does it hurt anywhere else?"
"Don't make a big deal out of it. Don't give Ting a call either. Just pretend this never happened," Tangning instructed. "It's normal to get hurt on set."
"Are you afraid that President Mo will worry?" Lin Qian exposed Tangning. "Of course, we can keep this a secret. But, we need to know why it happened. That way, the staff will be more careful."
Tangning looked at Lin Qian and realized she wasn't as weak as she appeared on the surface. She was actually quite strong.
"Ning Jie, Assistant Lin, are you OK? We'll pull you up right away, "a staff member called out from the well. A moment later, Tangning and Lin Qian were pulled up.
At this time, the director was already scolding the staff member.
Xu Xin was also nearby. As she saw the scene, she subconsciously looked at the safety belt that had been removed from Tangning's body.
Tangning was so powerful, yet she still got hurt.
Did she really think she was invincible? Pfft!
"Director, I've really checked it. I'm serious."
"In that case, check it again," Lin Qian suddenly requested coldly.
