Chapter 1227: Chapter 1218: The Scheme Within the Scheme (2)
However, just as Jiang Bumei pushed open the door—
"What are you doing here?"
A man’s voice came from behind, sounding rather familiar.
Everyone turned around and found that the person did seem a bit familiar, as if he was a director of some sort.
Once Jiang Bumei saw him, it became even clearer. An actor and a director, wasn’t that the classic unwritten rule? She immediately pushed the door open.
Inside, the screen was showing a film, and Xia Siyu was indeed lying on the sofa. However, she was lying comfortably, with a coat draped beside her.
Next to her, there were indeed several men, but everyone was focused on reading the script, no one disturbed her. Also, although Wei Jingjing wasn’t there, Little Tang was. He stayed by Xia Siyu’s side, taking care of her, pouring her water and such.
The room was harmonious, where was anything inappropriate?
Jiang Bumei couldn’t help but feel both angry and embarrassed. She looked back at the two guards: "Didn’t you say there was something unusual inside? And screaming and whatnot?"
The guards nodded: "Yes, and there were women screaming and everything..."
Perhaps feeling a lack of confidence, or maybe thinking the sound was not very pleasant, he lowered his voice.
The director who heard immediately understood what was meant and was furious: "Explain yourself? What screams? We’re talking about the drama here, set in the turmoil of China. What screams? Ms. Xia had a bit too much to drink, so when she came, her assistant was specially asked to take care of her, and you all have distorted that into what? Ms. Xia is very popular, it was hard to arrange her schedule to discuss the drama with us, and you dare spread rumors?"
Afterward, someone on the set whispered: "We reported there was a missing piece of jewelry worth millions..."
The director kept scolding: "What, do you suspect we stole it? Or that Ms. Xia took it? Do you even know how much Ms. Xia’s contract per film is worth? Yet you dare spread rumors she stole jewelry? Isn’t it worth millions? That price could land you in prison for ten years. Call the police!"
As soon as these words were said, Jiang Bumei immediately realized something was off: "Actually, it might be that I misplaced it..."
Others inside were also saying: "So, after all this, it’s slander? And you spread rumors about us having improper relations? This is a legitimate entertainment venue, and you dare speak such nonsense. You’ve smeared us and dared to smear Ms. Xia! Little Tang!"
Little Tang, having spent years in the entertainment circle and understanding a bit of the matters, immediately said: "It’s those two liars spreading rumors, along with Agent Jiang, who said her jewelry was lost, let’s report it altogether. Everyone from the crew is here, let’s make sure these two liars are detained, we can’t let these two tarnish everyone’s reputation!"
In an instant, the tables turned, some called the police while others detained people. Soon, Wei Jingjing also came with bodyguards and surrounded Xia Siyu, reported to the company, and contacted the legal team. This one had drunk a lot, fell asleep as soon as she hit the pillow, and was still sleeping soundly.
In a series of swift actions, within half an hour, the police arrived, taking away the two guards and even Jiang Bumei. The police were involved, and the situation escalated, forcing Director Ji to manage the aftermath. However, Wei Jingjing, Little Tang, and the drama director refused to back down, insisting on sending those who spread rumors to the police station.
