Chapter 220: The Dark Side of Business Competition

That was how filmings went, especially for dangerous scenes . The crew in charge would hire medical staff and have them on standby .

Some scenes even needed the cooperation of the local police department and the traffic department . It was possible the police in some films and dramas were actual police . They were invited here to keep the discipline, as well as supervision .

Yun Xiangxiang went to the hospital too . She couldn’t keep on filming now that something so serious happened in the crew .

“The glass is near the patient’s spine, but it didn’t harm her spinal cord . We need to perform surgery on her . Please go through the necessary procedures,” the hospital’s nurse came to look for Yun Xiangxiang .

Yun Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Ai Li’s spinal cord was unharmed . “Will it be a major surgery?”

“Don’t worry, Miss Yun . This is just a minor surgery,” the nurse answered smilingly .

Seems like she will be fine . Yun Xiangxiang calmed down and went through the procedure before waiting outside . She was holding the phone Song Mian gave her, worried that Ai Li’s wounds were grave . She would call Song Mian immediately after the surgery was done .

She didn’t want to call him now, concerned that Song Mian would worry about herself . Ai Li was wounded because she saved her .

Ai Li’s body was shifted to the side when she pushed her . Without Ai Li pushing her out of harm’s way, the glass would pierce her cervical spine with a bigger impact, paralyzing her for life .

Ai Li was pushed out of the operating room after two hours . She was conscious, “I am fine . ”

“En,” Yun Xiangxiang nodded smilingly . She didn’t talk much, as she didn’t want to waste Ai Li’s energy . Instead, she turned around to ask about the things she had to look out for Ai Li .

Naturally, He Wei was the first to know about the incident in the crew . He rushed here as soon as possible .

Yun Xiangxiang was feeding Ai Li some porridge . He Wei’s secretary, Xu Qin was along with him on this trip . Xu Qin exclaimed, “She can already take porridge?”

Patients needed anesthetics during surgery, after which they would have to lay in bed without a pillow for a few hours . And they couldn’t take any food either .

“Ai Li didn’t take any anesthetic,” Yun Xiangxiang only knew about it too . As expected of an agent . Any other human would probably die from the pain .

“Anesthetics are useless on me,” Ai Li explained . It wasn’t because she didn’t want to, but anesthetics had little effect on her .

“Let me,” Xu Qin was now beside Yun Xiangxiang . She took the bowl from her hands .

Yun Xiangxiang might have only sustained a superficial injury, but it was still a big wound . Blood would still seep through if she pushed it a little . She handed the bowl to Xu Qin without pushing herself .

“Brother Wei, you know the reason for the glass panel’s fall, right?” Yun Xiangxiang sat beside him .

“Someone broke the glass window when they moved something upstairs,” He Wei came here after going to the crew first .

“No . That was no accident,” Ai Li objected . “I pushed Xiangxiang away because I saw a silhouette knocking on the glass window up there . ”

“Knock” was a strong word here . It showed that this act was done on purpose .

Ai Li recalled the silhouette she saw on the first floor . “I only saw the silhouette’s head that was facing the window . ”

He Wei’s face darkened . If what Ai Li said was true, this was a conspiracy against Yun Xiangxiang!

He Wei’s phone rang . The producer of “Jiu Se” called . He Wei radiated a dangerous air as he listened to the report .

“What’s wrong, Brother Wei?” Yun Xiangxiang shrewdly noticed the tension .

“Someone did something to our props . ” Yun Xiangxiang is the victim, she has the right to know . “Are you fine? If you can still take it, let’s go back to the crew . There’s Xu Qin here . ”

He Wei observed Yun Xiangxiang . He noticed that only her wrist was bandaged .

Yun Xiangxiang looked at Ai Li . Ai Li nodded, and Yun Xiangxiang left with He Wei . If it was an accident, Yun Xiangxiang would only blame her luck and not complain . But if someone did this, she would get to the bottom of it, no matter if it was for Ai Li or herself .

The producer was holding the prop when they arrived . It was the bomb for the explosion scene . He handed it to He Wei . “Look at this . ”

He Wei’s face darkened even further when he took the ‘prop . ’ Yun Xiangxiang knew what was happening too, as she had many experiences in filming .

Generally, for scenes like this, they would use fake bombs wrapped with bubble wrap that contained small amounts of cement powder inside . It was to create the visual effect of dust flying around after the explosion . That ‘bomb’ wouldn’t harm anyone .

But if the powder was too heavy, they would have to back off around four to five meters, or risk being hurt by the projectiles .

Nothing was wrong about the amount of cement powder in the prop . What was wrong was the wrapping . There was a coat of metal within the wrapping .

If this was detonated, not only would the demolitionist be in danger . The actors would too .

After all, there were actors killed when filming explosion scenes before .

This scene was about Yun Xiangxiang and Yi Yan exchanging messages using the jewelry’s price in a jewelry shop . Clever people around the bigshot were already suspecting Yun Xiangxiang .

When they were nearly exposed, Yi Yan chose to bomb the place and blame it on the ones suspecting Yun Xiangxiang . He would then erase these people through the bigshot’s hands .

Yun Xiangxiang and Yi Yan needed to be onscreen in the explosion’s vicinity . If they didn’t find out about this, the results would have been disastrous .

“Is this the only one?” He Wei asked .

“That’s the only one,” the producer replied .

They rechecked everything that could pose a safety hazard because of this incident .

“There’s a spy among us,” He Wei clenched the bomb prop . “You guys will do a test run before filming . It’s easy to get exposed because of that, yet they still do it . That means they know you won’t use these during the test run . ”

“I will investigate this and check everyone that could have touched the prop,” the producer nodded .

Yun Xiangxiang looked at the bomb prop in He Wei’s hand . “Brother Wei, it’s possible that this prop isn’t targeting me . ”

He Wei and the producer looked at Yun Xiangxiang . She mulled it over, “The glass breaker and the switcheroo guy are different people . I am sure the glass breaker was going after me, but this prop could be going after the whole crew . ”

Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t the one who would detonate the bomb after all . If any accidents were to happen, the demolitionist would be the one to sustain heavy injuries or death .

If someone died during filming, it would be hard to continue . Even if they wrapped it up despite the pressure…

This would be a scandal if it was exposed when the film was aired . Nothing was more important than life . The audience would boycott works like these, as well as everyone involved in the film . Their efforts would be for nothing .

Huan Yu’s investment would also go down the drain . Yun Xiangxiang was leaning toward the guess that the perpetrator was coming after Huan Yu Century Entertainment .
