"Hmph! Wen Mingli, let's see how much longer you can be arrogant!"
Two minutes later, everyone present widened their eyes.
The wire behind Mingli made a faint sound, and suddenly snapped.
The male lead, Xiao Moheng, whose wire was also being held, saw this and wanted to rush over to grab Mingli's falling body. But before he could act, everyone present was shocked to see Mingli suddenly grab the other, unbroken wire with one hand and dart towards a bamboo pole standing nearby.
Mingli's toes lightly tapped the bamboo pole, and then with a dashing backflip, she landed steadily on the ground, her movements fluid and seamless.
Mingli was completely unharmed.
Xiao Moheng, suspended in mid-air like a clueless fool: ...
Director Liu and everyone present: ...
Shangguan Qing and her assistant: ...
Everyone swallowed in unison, and the air suddenly fell silent, as if everything had frozen.
After a long moment, Director Liu reacted and quickly led his team towards Mingli, asking nervously, "Miss Wen... Miss Wen, are you alright?"
Mingli patted the dust off her sleeves, raised an eyebrow, and cast a sinister glance towards Shangguan Qing. She said with a half-smile, "I'm fine. It's just that this prop you hired doesn't seem to be up to par, does it?"
Upon hearing this, Director Liu frowned and quickly walked over to the snapped wire, picking up the broken rope from the ground. He indeed found something wrong.
The rope had clearly been tampered with.
Director Liu's frown deepened, and he said to Mingli, "Miss Wen, we will definitely give you an explanation."
After speaking, Director Liu took his team to check the surveillance footage, only to discover that the footage from the past two days was all gone, completely deleted.
Upon receiving this news, Mingli raised an eyebrow.
"Not bad. You know how to destroy evidence, but is it really useful?"
Director Liu angrily smashed the megaphone in his hand and questioned everyone present, "Who did this?"
After a while.
Seeing that no one spoke, Director Liu took out his phone to dial 110. "Since none of you will admit it, I'll leave it to the police!"
Shangguan Qing, who was in the crowd, panicked slightly upon hearing this. But then, she seemed to recall something, lifted her head high again, and a mocking curve appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Hmph! So what if they called the police?"
The evidence had already been destroyed by her assistant anyway, so it wouldn't matter even if the police showed up.
Seeing that no one still came forward to admit it, Director Liu directly dialed 110.
More than ten minutes later, the wailing sirens of police cars grew closer. Two police cars stopped outside the film set.
Several police officers in uniform, both male and female, alighted from the police cars.
Director Liu glanced at everyone and strode towards the police officers.
After explaining the situation to the police and retrieving the camera, he played back the thrilling scene that had just been recorded.
After the police officers watched the video, they all looked up at Mingli, who was standing not far away with a blank expression. Their gazes were extremely strange.
"Damn! Is this definitely not special effects?"
One of the female police officers, wearing a police cap, sidled up to Mingli, excitedly grabbed Mingli's hand, and said to her, "Miss Wen, would you consider joining our police force? Our department would be very welcoming to your addition!!"
Mingli withdrew her hand from the female police officer's grasp and coldly refused, "Not considering it, thank you."
