She looked at Bai Jian with a troubled expression.
Bai Jian, however, lowered his head, gazing at the floor tiles. A hint of coldness gradually spread across his brows, and then, he said gravely,
"No. It's a hunch—it tells me he's definitely hiding some secret behind him."
"This hunch has helped me solve many cases."
"I know him… the director also mentioned him to me. On the surface, he has everything, is impeccable, with a perfect family background… excellent academic qualifications, and he's even proficient in skiing, golf, racing… all sorts of skills, and he's always first."
"But does such a perfect person exist in this world?"
Bai Jian pursed his lips tightly.
"I've always felt this person is not simple."
"But if I told others, they would just think I'm randomly suspecting someone without evidence, that I must be jealous of him."
"When we worked before, evidence was our top priority."
He took a deep breath and then muttered as if to himself.
"So I can only come and tell you."
"I trust you."
Lin Muci felt that being trusted like this was truly a… disproportionately heavy pressure. She knew Yan Wenwen was not simple; his blackening value was already as high as ninety…
She had no idea what kind of stimulus this guy had received.
To have such an outrageously high blackening value.
She had a system.
That's how she knew he had problems.
But Bai Jian was relying entirely on his intuition. To be able to determine something based on intuition, it could be said that he was worthy of being a former police officer.
The system chimed in sarcastically.
"If Ling Qianhe had gone into the entertainment industry back then instead of choosing to be a police officer, Ling Qianhe would also possess this magical skill!"
"Speaking of which, it was a windfall for Bai Jian… Ling Qianhe was too extraordinary. Since he didn't become a police officer, someone had to fill his original trajectory. Otherwise, Bai Jian might have died much earlier, who knows…"
The system spoke of these hypotheticals.
Meanwhile, Lin Muci glanced at Bai Jian.
She asked.
"Do you think it will affect the movie? Judging by your experience, is it possible that he… has committed any criminal acts? This is very important because if he has committed any criminal acts, then the entire movie cannot be released!"
"This movie has brought together the hard work of too many people. I don't want this movie to be unreleased, and all the hard work, time, and effort to be in vain."
Upon hearing Lin Muci say this.
Bai Jian hesitated obviously.
"This—"
He thought it over.
And still shook his head.
"I cannot give a definitive answer. But at least there are no criminal records related to him."
"Besides, this kind of peculiarity doesn't necessarily mean he has harmed others."
"Based on my experience in handling cases, I think it's also possible that he himself has suffered some kind of harm, and this harm has deeply remained within him."
"Both possibilities exist."
Lin Muci's head ached.
Making a movie, why did she have to consider so many issues? Did she need to conduct background checks on the actors?
She sighed.
"Then—that's also acceptable."
"So—"
"Let's continue filming for now. If he doesn't have any problems, I don't think it would be good to suggest replacing the role. After all, he was chosen by Brother Long, and we have to give him face."
It wasn't as if.
He was completely unsuitable.
They could only take it one step at a time, and try to probe.
…
The following days were calm and uneventful.
However, to be fair, Yan Wenwen, the newly added character, was undoubtedly a true gentleman, as gentle as jade.
Although he came from a privileged background, he was not an ostentatious person. Instead, he was very good at mingling with people.
The film crew staff all liked him.
He also did not hide his secret of being Lin Muci's fan.
Because during breaks on set, he often held a tablet, either watching Lin Muci's performances or her movie clips.
Everyone had gotten used to it, and Wu Minlong even teased him.
"Isn't Little Ci here in the crew? You have the real person, why are you watching these?"
Yan Wenwen replied to Wu Minlong with a smile.
"No. When I see her in person, I actually get shy!"
Everyone thought this young man was truly outstanding and shy, completely in the mindset of a fan facing their idol, which was very cute.
But when he started filming and got into character, he transformed completely.
Extremely calm.
An aura of extreme aloofness and coldness radiated from the screen.
He was indeed very suitable for the role.
Long Jiu, highly intelligent, a top strategist, and frail.
If played well, this role would be a classic!
…
When Lin Muci called Ling Qianhe, she mentioned some of the filming progress.
She was a bit curious.
Why didn't Ling Qianhe ask about the new actor.
Wasn't he jealous?
After hanging up the phone.
Ling Qianhe let out a cold snort.
He proactively inquired in his mind about that special existence.
"Was it your doing?"
"You boasted to me, claiming to be the 'will of the world,' right? What, you felt I wasn't listening to you and was disrupting Little Ci's mission? So you started thinking of other crooked ways?"
A voice in his mind remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Not convinced?"
Ling Qianhe scoffed repeatedly.
"Don't play those useless tricks."
"You won't win."
The voice in his mind sighed.
"She wants to become a top superstar – but how can the path to stardom be so easy? Even with your help, there will be many people who want to pull her down."
"Her movie will be ruined, her scenes will be cut."
"Her family company will go bankrupt."
"If she loses everything, who will still like her? Can she still be a superstar? There are many times of prosperity and splendor in this world, but how many people can offer help in times of need?"
"People will rush to offer flowers to a pampered 'flower of wealth' who has everything."
"But if she has nothing."
"Will anyone still love her?"
Ling Qianhe replied without hesitation.
"Of course, they will."
"Everyone will love her."
"You don't think Lin Muci is popular solely because of her family background, do you?"
"You don't think she only has a pretty face, do you?"
I am fully aware of all her merits.
Those are just the most insignificant ones.
As soon as you meet her.
You will definitely like her.
Ling Qianhe never worried about her not being popular enough!
His only worry was that she would become too popular, leading to too many rivals in this world!
Therefore.
He had no worries about her failing.
"Your preparations are bound to fail."
