Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
To clear the film crew of suspicion, Eric brought Nangong Quan along with him to the set of ‘The Ant Queen 2’.
Of course, to prevent anyone from finding out, no one knew that Nangong Quan was also sitting inside Eric’s black Rolls Royce.
But, even after scanning through all the faces in the crew, Nangong Quan didn’t see any trace of his grandfather, nor did he find an old man with a black mark on the back of his hand. In fact, there wasn’t even a man in the crew that matched his grandfather’s age.
“He’s not here.”
“Have you looked in detail?” Eric reminded. “If even you can’t recognize your grandfather, then no one can do it.”
“It’s been many years since I’ve seen him…” Nangong Quan said in a slightly cold tone. “In these 20 years, I practically only saw him three times.”
“Since that’s the case, let me drive you back home,” Eric replied.
“Wait…” All of a sudden, Nangong Quan’s gaze was drawn to a tall and skinny man. His back looked similar. But…as he turned around, Nangong Quan realized it was a young man in his early twenties that simply looked old from behind.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up, “Let’s go.”
Eric closed the windows and drove the car out of the studio. But, just as the two men left, Elder Nangong appeared where the car was just standing.
The two punks were alert and cautious, but, if they wanted to find the old man, it wasn’t an easy task to achieve.
After his years in the underworld, all the tricks he learned weren’t about to go to waste.
A good friend from prison had already notified Elder Nangong that Nangong Quan discovered he was out of prison. It seemed, Nangong Quan was sitting in Eric’s car because he already guessed that he had plans to go against the Roborts Family. What an ungrateful rascal!
But, of course, there was no way that Nangong Quan would recognize him. Not only did he style himself to look ten years younger, his body and appearance also changed a lot.
“Did the two punks think they could find me? They must be dreaming.”
The old man lowered his head and continued to work. As he was willing to do anything on set and want afraid of getting dirty, the other crew members respected him and trust in him. But, like a wolf, they would not know the consequences of trusting the wrong person until he revealed his teeth in the end!
Nangong Quan couldn’t find his grandfather, but he didn’t give up on his search.
After Su Youran found out what happened, she immediately comforted him, “You’ve already done your best.”
“If I had visited him more often when he was in prison, we may not be in this predicament right now,” Nangong Quan sat on the sofa with regret.
“It’s not your fault,” Su Youran said as she wr*pped her arms around Nangong Quan. “That’s enough, stop blaming yourself, you’ve already helped a lot.”
Nangong Quan had a feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his fi**ger on it.
He kept feeling a sense of familiarity when he looked at the crew of ‘The Ant Queen 2’, but he couldn’t pinpoint a particular person.
The old man was definitely on set!
He simply didn’t pick him out.
…
After Eric returned home, Emma immediately asked him how Nangong Quan went on set. But, Eric told her that they had no luck finding the old man.
So, Emma smiled and comforted her husband, “How are we going to live the rest of our days if we get frightened by something like this? All we need to do is remain cautious.”
Eric did not say a word, he was simply relieved that he was the one filming ‘The Ant Queen 2’ and not Emma. He could relax knowing that Emma didn’t have to go somewhere dangerous.
No matter what Elder Nangong had planned, as long as Emma was fine, then he had nothing to worry about.
After all, Emma was his biggest weakness.
The next day, the crew began to prepare for the explosion scene. As the explosives technician, this was Elder Nangong’s most happy and exciting moment. He was going to set up the perfect trap to create the perfect accident.
As long as Eric stepped on it, he would blow up into a million pieces.
That morning, when Eric left the villa, Emma had a bad feeling, but she couldn’t explain what it was.
Lin Qian arrived at Hyatt Regency to update her on Superstar Media’s latest news, but Emma’s mind was elsewhere.
“Emma, what’s wrong?” Lin Qian asked. “Is something the matter?”
Emma waved her hand, gesturing for Lin Qian not to speak, “Let me think.”
“Doesn’t Mr. Roborts have some important scenes over the next couple of days? Does it have something to do with that?”
As soon as Emma heard this, she snapped out of her daze and immediately called Qiao Man, “Qiao Man, can we create the explosions in post production?”
“If your team can do it, then go ahead. That way our actors won’t have to do anything.”
“In that case, can we cancel all the upcoming explosion scenes?” Emma urgently requested.
Although Qiao Man didn’t know why Emma suddenly got involved with the filming process, she had no reason to reject her request, “I’ve already prepared today’s scene. Let’s film this one first and put the rest on hold.”
“Qiao Man, I have a bad feeling about today’s shoot, can we cancel today’s one as well?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Just trust me, I’ll explain to you later.”
Although Qiao Man didn’t understand why Emma was stopping her from filming these scenes, she understood that Emma wasn’t an unreasonable person that created drama out of nothing. Since Emma specifically made a request, then Qiao Man had no choice but to stop the day’s shoot.
“We will be postponing today’s explosion scene. Let’s film the next scene instead,” Qiao Man notified the crew. “Explosives team, please remove all equipment and clear the set.”
Everything was already set up, why did Qiao Man suddenly postpone the scene?
“Director Qiao, what’s the reason? You need to give us an explanation, otherwise, everything we did today would go to waste.”
“This is the producer’s instructions. If you have any questions, you can directly speak to her.”
Qiao Man gave this answer because she had no idea why Emma made the decision to interfere with the shoot.
When Eric and the other actors in the makeup room heard of Emma’s decision, they all looked at each other curiously, “What’s with the sudden change?”
“Emma barely gets involved with filming.”
“There must be a reason. It’s best you guys don’t speculate. Just follow the arrangements…”
Emma did not get a chance to notify Eric about the situation beforehand because she was in such a rush to protect him from danger.
Since Elder Nangong was watching them and they couldn’t find him, they couldn’t give him any opportunities, especially not explosion scenes. They couldn’t let their guard down for him to sneak through.
After the explosion scene was canceled, Elder Nangong was naturally unhappy. After all, this was an opportunity that he had waited tirelessly for.
Who would have thought, at the last minute, just before he sent Eric to his death, a simple phone call from Emma would ruin everything he had planned.
Worst of all, the explosives he set up had a huge safety flaw because he did not plan to leave Eric a chance to survive.
But, now that the shoot was canceled, he had to clean up everything he set up or he’d be exposed.
Actually, Emma didn’t make her decision based on instincts, she did it because she wanted to be extra cautious.
After all, if someone decided to tamper with the explosives, who could guarantee her husband’s safety?
Unfortunately, Qiao Man was focused on filming the next scene, so she instructed some miscellaneous assistants to quickly clean up the set. As a result, they started clearing the explosives before Elder Nangong arrived and accidentally triggered one of the traps that Elder Nangong set up.
A loud boom echoed through the set, causing the entire film studio to be stunned by the noise.
The set covered in fire and debris while the staff tried to recover from their shock. As they looked at the scene in front of them, one thought came to mind: it was an explosion!
The studio quickly erupted with screams, quarrels and questions. In response, Eric told Luke to report to him and instructed him to call the police.
In an instant, news of the explosion began spreading like crazy and speculations started appearing online.
The amount of deaths and the cause were still unknown.
But, Eric and the people around him, all knew what had happened.
After the police arrived, they quickly cleared the scene and confirmed the number of deaths and injuries. Fortunately, even though the explosion was triggered by a staff member, the staff member quickly jumped into a nearby pit and did not receive serious injuries. As for everyone else that was near the explosion, they only suffered a few surface scratches.
