Chapter 294: Chapter 208: Iâll Go on Your Behalf_2 Chapter 294: Chapter 208: Iâll Go on Your Behalf_2 They were having a blast acting, the director was having a blast shooting, and the other staff on set were also having a blast.
Because the actors were so efficient, everyone could wrap up early.
This time, after shooting was over, Wenyan didnât walk anymore; even though the distance from the set to the hotel wasnât far, she obediently got into the car driven by her bodyguard.
Just as she closed the car door, Wenyan received a call from the police.
The person on the other end said that the two suspects they had caught still hadnât confessed who was behind the scenes, so he specifically called to ask Wenyan if she had any other clues.
Wenyan really didnât have any, all that she should have said she had already told in detail at the police station that day.
So, the call ended quickly.
Just as she put down her phone, Shen Jingchuanâs call came through.
âYour line was busy just now when I called, was it the police looking for you?â
Wenyan raised an eyebrow, âYou guessed that? Seems like they contacted you before they did me.â
âThatâs right.â
Wenyan nodded, âSo, you called to share this news with me, then? Thereâs no need now, I already know!â
âNo, I called to tell you to stop worrying about this matter, we said all that needed to be said that day.â
âThen,â âDonât ask, donât ask anything.â
âOh. Then where are you now? I can at least ask that, right?â
âAt home.â
âWhich home?â
âWhat do you mean which home, have you gone silly from all the filming? Anyway, is big brother at home today? Has he gone to bed?â
âHeâs home. But whether heâs asleep, I donât know. What, do you need him for something?â
âYeah, there is something.â
âWhat is it? You can ask me, canât I take care of it?â
âCanât. Itâs not that I need big brother, actually, itâs a friend of mine who wants to see him.â
âWhich friend? As far as I know, you donât have many friends.â
Wenyan: â⊠How come youâre like checking household registration, canât I have a little privacy?â
âAlright. I just checked for you, the lights are out in big brotherâs room; heâs probably gone to sleep.â
âThen Iâll look for him during the day tomorrow. Oh, by the way, Iâll be wrapping up this film in a day or two. Those guys at the abandoned factory saved us before, and weâve only thanked them verbally, which seems insincere. How about we take some things and go see them when I get a break? Do you have the time in the next couple of days?â
âI have the time,â but Shen Jingchuan changed his tone, âbut I think thereâs no need for you to go. After all, youâre a public figure; it wouldnât be good if people took pictures of you.â
Wenyan: â⊠Letâs not worry about that, shall we? The preferred place for a kidnapper canât have many people, who would take pictures of me.â
â⊠You make it sound quite reasonable. But really, I donât think you need to keep dealing with them. That Third Brother is a bit better, but that Wen Chengcai, just doesnât seem like a good person.
You donât have to feel guilty for not being involved this time, because I will represent you. If Iâm there, itâs like youâre there, OK? And I donât have the patience to wait for you to wrap up the shoot; Iâll take care of this tomorrow.â
Thus, the matter was settled.
The next day, Shen Jingchuan drove alone to the old industrial park in the suburbs.
Following the route in his memory, he found the little tin shack where Wen Chengcai was lounging on a deckchair, cracking melon seeds.
He spat out the melon seed shells all over the place, only getting up from the deckchair when he saw Shen Jingchuan come out of the car.
âItâs you.â
Wen Chengcai, still holding unfinished melon seeds, wandered over to Shen Jingchuanâs car.
âThis is a nice car, huh? How much did you pay for it? Mustâve cost quite a bit, huh?â
Shen Jingchuan ignored his lack of boundaries, only asking what he wanted to know.
âWhy are you alone, whereâs Third Brother?â
âGone to farm. Winterâs here, and he set up a greenhouse. All the vegetables we eat, we grow ourselves.â
ââŠâ Lazy bones. Shen Jingchuanâs impression of Wen Chengcai worsened. When it came time to eat, he said âwe,â but when it was time to farm, he was just lying at the doorstep cracking seeds.
âThen please take me to Third Brother, I have something important to discuss with you guys.â
âImportant stuff, huhâŠâ Wen Chengcai had guessed Shen Jingchuanâs purpose for coming.
After thinking for a bit, he said, âYouâre all dressed up nice, the path to find him isnât easy, wouldnât want your shoes to get dirty, and then youâd dirty your expensive car. You wait here for me, Iâll go call him over.â
âThatâs fine, then Iâll trouble you!â
