Chapter 1376: Wu Haoming’s Disclosure
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun saw that the person Cao Zhengsong and Song Chu had brought over was Brother Wu, their faces were filled with excitement and elation. Their despair immediately disappeared and was replaced with obvious joy and excitement. Could it be that not only had Master Chi and the others yet to leave, they had specially come to inform them?
Thinking this, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun became even more excited.
Ruan Shenglin was calmer than Manager Yang Kun. He had a lot on his mind and knew that even if Master Chi didn’t leave now, as long as Director w.a.n.g didn’t allow it, it wouldn’t be easy for him to leave. He was the main lead in this movie and bore the most responsibility.
Even if there really were dangerous things in the village, he couldn’t just abandon the film crew and leave. This was a matter of professionalism. If he really dared to do that, what awaited him when he left the village would be a loss of reputation and all sorts of suspicions; he would become even more unworthy of the t.i.tle ‘film emperor’ and ‘actor.’
Ruan Shenglin immediately made up his mind. He couldn’t leave, but Brother Kun could. No matter what, he had to make use of this opportunity for his wife and child.
!!
Besides, although this village was extremely dangerous, nothing might really happen to him. He still had the talismans which Master Chi had sold to him. As long as he carried the talismans on him and survived for a while, he should be fine.
Thinking this, Ruan Shenglin relaxed and his condition improved a lot. While Yang Kun received Wu Haoming, he looked at Shenglin and sighed with relief. He said to Wu Haoming, “Brother Wu, why did you come to the set to see us? What’s wrong?”
Wu Haoming didn’t keep them in suspense. He was about to speak, but seeing that the people around him weren’t familiar faces, it wasn’t good to say anything. Yang Kun saw through Wu Haoming’s thoughts and immediately said that they were all familiar with each other. However, when he thought of how that Qin woman had overheard him early in the morning and had threatened him, it was better to be careful.
Yang Kun immediately changed his mind and had Yan Zhengming, Cao Zhengsong and Song Chu sit in Shenglin’s RV.
Cao Zhengsong and Song Chu didn’t think much of it and got into the RV. Yan Zhengming, on the other hand, wasn’t as easy to fool as Cao Zhengsong and Song Chu. After getting into the RV, his frown never eased.
He felt that not only did Kun’er and Shenglin interact frequently with these outsiders, they also had an extraordinary relations.h.i.+p.
Generally speaking, people in their circle were completely different from outsiders. Their itineraries and everything else were secretive, and involved a lot of interests. It was extremely inconvenient to mix with outsiders, so they rarely interacted with them.
Yan Zhengming suddenly thought of how Shenglin and Kun’er trusted this young lady very much. No, not only did they trust her, they were practically diehard fans.
Yan Zhengming still didn’t understand why Kun’er and Shenglin believed that the young lady was a Master, and even put her on a pedestal.
Kun’er had indeed told him a lot before, but Yan Zhengming only half-believed him. So, when he saw how enthusiastic and solicitous Kun’er was toward Wu Haoming, he frowned again.
Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin’s attention was all on Wu Haoming at that moment, and they weren’t in the mood to care about anyone else at all. Ruan Shenglin specially poured Wu Haoming a cup of tea, and Yang Kun said, “Brother Wu, you can speak now. Everyone in the RV is familiar with each other. Did Master Chi instruct you to let us know if you need anything?”
It took Wu Haoming a long time to accept that the person pouring him tea was the famous Film Emperor Ruan. In the past, he could only watch him on TV. Now, because of Master Chi, he could get close to the film emperor. He was too excited.
Wu Haoming was excited, but he didn’t forget the matter at hand. “Film Emperor Ruan, Manager Yang, I came this time to ask if you want to leave the village together with Master Chi. We plan to leave the village today. What are your plans?”
Even though they had a guess earlier, when Wu Haoming really said it, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s hearts shook and they couldn’t help but be excited and overjoyed.
Yang Kun was so grateful that he almost cried. He felt that the luckiest thing about him and Shenglin coming to the village was to get along with Master Chi. Otherwise, why would she care whether they lived or died?
Yang Kun was moved and really shed a few tears. Yan Zhengming, Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong were simply stupefied and looked at him as if they didn’t know him.
Yan Zhengming almost wondered if his good friend had been switched out with someone else. Otherwise, why did he suddenly look so stupid?
In any case, they couldn’t understand how excited Yang Kun was at that moment. When they heard the words “leave the village,” however, they wanted to say something, but hesitated. Their faces changed and their eyes were filled with doubt.
Yang Kun didn’t have time to pay attention to them. After getting excited, he still couldn’t calm down for a while. He kept speaking to Wu Haoming to confirm it. “Brother Wu, really? Master Chi really asked you to let us know to leave the village together? That’s great! That’s great! Thank you so much, Master Chi! Master Chi is too good, Shenglin, don’t you think so?”
Ruan Shenglin was preoccupied with his thoughts, but he still nodded excitedly. “I’m indeed grateful to Master Chi!”
Seeing that Manager Yang Kun and Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin were too excited, Wu Haoming couldn’t control his emotions. They kept thanking Master Chi, and didn’t stop. He was a bit embarra.s.sed when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and got straight to the point. “Master Chi did ask me to come and let you know about leaving the village. If you want to leave the village with us, come to our place immediately after filming in the evening.”
As soon as Wu Haoming finished speaking, Yang Kun couldn’t wait to flatter him and hurriedly nod in agreement.
After a pause, Wu Haoming continued, “As for the rest of your crew, you can let them know if you’re willing to do so. Those who are willing to leave the village with us can let you know by this evening. However, apart from you, there’s no need for anyone else to specially come to our place; the commotion will be too big. When the time comes, Master Chi will distribute talismans to the others. When the talisman turns hot, that’s when they can move and meet up with us. By the way, let me remind you not to make too much noise about this, or you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself!”
“What?” Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun never expected this pleasant surprise. Even Ruan Shenglin, who had always been calm, was uncharacteristically excited. So, if Director w.a.n.g was willing to leave, he would definitely be able to leave with them?
Thinking this, Ruan Shenglin was so excited that his face flushed red. If it wasn’t for the small s.p.a.ce in the RV, he would have gotten up and run around to calm down.
It was just that the possibility of persuading Director w.a.n.g to leave the village was little to none. Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s expressions fell again. This time, it wasn’t like when they had bought talismans before, when they had been able to make Director w.a.n.g visit Master Chi with a few lies.
Moreover, even if Director w.a.n.g really agreed to leave the village, it was useless if the a.s.sistant director and producer weren’t willing. Moreover, leaving the village meant that all the investment and whatever shooting had already been done would be wasted. Who would bear the losses for this movie?
Who would be willing to bear these losses? Who could bear them?
Thinking this, Ruan Shenglin completely calmed down, and the smile on his face disappeared completely. The smile on Yang Kun’s face also mostly disappeared, but things were much better than he had imagined. At least, not only was Master Chi willing to take them out of the village, she was also willing to let the rest of the crew follow her. Yang Kun heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, smiled and thanked Wu Haoming politely.
Wu Haoming waved his hand. He felt that he had conveyed what he needed to convey, so after he drank the tea, he was prepared to leave. In any case, it was noon, and they would only leave at night. There was still plenty of time for them to think about it.
Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin personally sent him off, and Yan Zhengming and the others, who wanted to say something, stayed in the RV. Before Wu Haoming left, the two still probed, “Brother Wu, can I ask one last question?”
“Go ahead!”
Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin looked at each other. In the end, Ruan Shenglin asked, “Why is Master Chi in such a hurry to leave the village today?”
After all, they had only been guessing before. They wanted to know the real reason. After a pause, Ruan Shenglin continued to probe, “Can we leave the village a few days later?”
To be honest, Wu Haoming really couldn’t reply to Film Emperor Ruan immediately. However, when he thought of Master Chi’s incomparably solemn expression, he felt extremely uneasy and a little afraid.
He had once studied psychology, and from Master Chi’s incomparably solemn expression, he could tell that something was wrong. No, it should be said that it was extremely bad. He couldn’t describe it in words to the two of them. His eyes were unusually serious, and he said, “I’ll say it again: It’s best for you to prepare to leave the village with us today.”
As soon as he said that, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s faces turned pale!
