On the other side, with Meng Jingwei's departure from the film crew, all the work pressure fell upon Tang Wanxing. Even if she wanted to make time to accompany Qing Muye, she had none.
The director absolutely refused to release her.
When she had a moment to rest on set, Qiao Ziqian walked over and sat beside her, asking in a low voice, "Where did she go?"
The "she" naturally referred to Meng Jingwei.
Tang Wanxing leaned back on the lounge chair, a thin blanket covering her. She immediately placed a hot water bag and said lazily with her eyes closed, "She chartered a private plane to Country C. I've already informed Antina. I believe as long as Antina is ruthless enough, I won't have any worries."
"Aren't you afraid my elder brother will find out?" Qiao Ziqian asked lazily, holding a cup of coffee and taking a sip.
"So what if he finds out? Antina is the one acting, not me," Tang Wanxing opened her eyelids, her peripheral vision glancing at Qiao Ziqian. "I've also had someone tie up Ye, so he can't get away even if he had six arms and three heads. I doubt even a Great Luo celestial being could save Meng Jingwei."
Tang Wanxing was never one to back down from a fight. She wouldn't hesitate or be soft-hearted when acting.
Yet, Qiao Ziqian fell silent.
After a long moment of thought, he sighed, "Even if Meng Jingwei is gone, I don't think... you and my brother will end up together."
"Do your best, then leave it to fate."
Tang Wanxing didn't have absolute confidence that Qing Muye would change his mind and fall in love with her, but Meng Jingwei was a major obstacle. As long as she was dead, nothing else would matter.
"Xingxing, you're too extreme in your actions," Qiao Ziqian said, then stood up and left.
Qiao Ziqian had been close to Meng Jingwei for a long time. Especially that day he had deceived Meng Jingwei into believing his girlfriend, Nan Shuang, was 'dead.' That night, Meng Jingwei had accompanied him for the entire night.
Despite not having rested well from filming day and night just days before, she was still able to accompany him all night, which made Qiao Ziqian feel deeply guilty.
Of course, what he felt more was admiration for Meng Jingwei.
Such a nearly perfect and kind woman deserved his elder brother's affection.
However, before he could walk far, Tang Wanxing caught up, grabbing his hand. "Qiao Ziqian, stop!"
She called out, and the surrounding staff members glanced over. Sensing this, Tang Wanxing immediately let go of his hand, cleared her throat, and said, "Let's add each other as friends. You can buy me coffee later, and I'll give you the money."
Accustomed to putting on an act, Tang Wanxing had to "perform" in front of everyone to avoid suspicion.
She took out her phone, opened her contact QR code, and said, "You scan me."
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone around to hear.
Hearing Tang Wanxing's words, those people didn't think much of it and went back to their own tasks.
Qiao Ziqian lazily took out his phone and cooperatively scanned the QR code, but his movements were filled with perfunctoriness and reluctance.
Tang Wanxing lowered her voice. "Are you planning to go tell my elder brother?"
Qiao Ziqian's hand holding the phone paused, and his voice deepened slightly. "Is this how you see me?"
Facing his dissatisfied questioning, Tang Wanxing knew she had lost her composure. She immediately apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I... I'm just too nervous."
When one has a guilty conscience, they tend to be easily startled by the slightest disturbance.
Qiao Ziqian gave her a meaningful look, his handsome phoenix eyes tinged with a hint of coldness.
It was a look Tang Wanxing had never seen before.
Country C, early morning.
At this time, Meng Jingwei, who had already arrived in Country C, disembarked the private plane with Shen Liannuo.
After leaving the airport, she had originally contacted Zhang Hui from the detective agency's branch in Country C to pick her up.
But who would have thought that the person who appeared before her would actually be...
Daisy Tini!
