85 Breaking Someone’s Wrist

After Shi Ran’s makeup was done, she slowly walked towards the set in a white costume.

The staff passing by her could not help but exclaim.

“She looks like a fairy.”

“Her makeup and hair look good.”

“She’s good-looking, I guess. I didn’t realize she could look so good in an ancient costume.”

The set was almost fully set-up.

Shi Ran sat on a stool and flipped through the script. Her marked handwriting was everywhere, black and red.

The first scene to be filmed today was the first encounter between the second female lead, Bai Lan, and the first male lead, Xiao Chen.

It was also the turning point in Bai Lan’s life.

Bai Lan was the eldest daughter of the world’s largest manor, Hidden Fog Manor. She had been pampered since she was young.

Once, she sneaked out and trusted the wrong person. She was almost defiled by a few disciples from other sects.

It was Xiao Chen who had descended from the sky to save her.

Since then, Bai Lan’s heart had been filled with ink.

“Do you need someone to rehearse with?” Bai Jingtian walked over.

He was dressed in a long black robe. His hair was tied up high, and his long eyebrows were like willow trees.

The assistant tactfully moved a chair beside Shi Ran.

Bai Jingtian lifted his robe and sat down, exuding the valiant charm of a hero.

He scanned the script. “The first scene is Bai Lan being defiled. It’s a little difficult.”

“Yeah.” Shi Ran nodded.

The innocent young lady was tainted and had to control her emotions tactfully.

“It’s fine. I’ll rehearse with you first.” Bai Jingtian smiled gently.

“Okay, thanks.” Shi Ran smiled back.

Wen Yufei’s exclusive dressing room

Xiao Qi pushed open the door and skipped in.

“You’re that happy?” Wen Yufei smiled dotingly when she saw her.

“Sister Yufei, let’s watch Shi Ran’s performance later.”

Wen Yufei tilted her head in confusion. “Why do you suddenly want to watch her act?”

“I’ve prepared a surprise. Sister Yufei, prepare to watch a good show,” Xiao Qi said mysteriously.

Seeing her like this, a deep meaning flashed in Wen Yufei’s eyes, then she smiled gently.

They walked together to the set.

The set had been set up and Director Li was already seated at the monitor.

Everything was in place.

‘Three shots in five, Action!’

The scene board came down.

Bai Lan, played by Shi Ran, had her back pressed against the wall.

Her wet eyes widened in horror as the four men surrounded her.

The four men were wearing the same training clothes.

They cornered Bai Lan with leering grins.

“I wonder which family’s young lady is so pretty.” One of them smiled wretchedly and reached out to touch Bai Lan’s face.

The tender touch made him laugh even more arrogantly.

Bai Lan’s delicate body couldn’t stop trembling as tears slid down from those beautiful eyes.

“Please… please… let me go. I… I’ll make my father pay you handsomely.”

She begged, her voice shaking.

“How can a generous reward be more attractive than you?” the man said as he began to undress.

Bai Lan was in a panic. She wanted to scream for help.

Unexpectedly, the man covered her mouth first, leaving only tears of panic and desperation.

The four men surged forward, their hands tugging at Bai Lan’s shirt. To the camera, the man was already bending over Bai Lan’s neck.

“Don’t… don’t… please… don’t…” Bai Lan cried.

At that moment, the actor on the far side reached for Shi Ran’s chest.

A lecherous smile lit across his eyes.

Before his fingertips could touch the fabric, his wrist was suddenly gripped.

The next second.

“Snap—”

“Ah!”

The actor dropped to his knees, clutching his wrist.

He clenched his teeth in pain. Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

The scene startled everyone on the set.

“Cut!” Director Li shouted urgently.

Immediately, a staff member came forward to help the actor up.

“What’s going on?” Director Li asked, joining him and seeing the hand he was covering.

The actor glared at Shi Ran.

“Director Li, you should be asking this actress that question. I don’t know why she suddenly broke my wrist!”

Broke it?!

Everyone looked at the actor’s hanging wrist in horror and then turned to the calm Shi Ran.

‘Mother of God!’

How terrifying!

Bai Jingtian, who was hanging from the wire, walked over and asked Shi Ran in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

Shi Ran raised her chin in the actor’s direction and sneered. “He just reached for my chest while we were filming.”

The actor looked at Shi Ran in surprise.

He hadn’t expected Shi Ran to be so direct.

If it had been any other actress, they would probably have passed it off as molestation.

He could argue in other ways when the time came.

“Damn! Pervert.”

“This kind of man is too evil. He’s taking advantage of the situation.”

“He could have taken advantage of anyone, but he actually dared to take advantage of Shi Ran. This guy probably hasn’t seen the trending searches before.”

“What if such cancer still exists in the crew?”

The crowd cursed.

The actor immediately panicked and defended himself. “I didn’t! She wronged me.”

“I may only be an extra, but you can’t just randomly pin a crime on me, right?”

Seeing that everyone seemed to be wavering, he immediately added, “And this is a film set. I have professional ethics!”

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. He looked as if he were being wronged and trying to argue.

“He doesn’t look like he’s lying to me.”

“It can’t really be a misunderstanding, can it?”

“In a scene like this, there’s more or less some physical contact. It’s normal to misunderstand.”

“No matter how normal it is, you can’t break someone’s wrist, right?!”

“That’s brutal.”

Wen Yufei and her assistant stood not far away and watched this scene.

“Did you arrange for that actor to do this?” Wen Yufei looked at Xiao Qi, who was smiling smugly.

Xiaoqi nodded as if she was taking credit for it. “That’s right. I heard that the first scene was a defiling scene, so I found this extra.”

“I originally planned to let that person touch Shi Ran and make her forget her lines. I didn’t expect her to react so quickly.”

Wen Yufei smiled gently. “Her reaction is fast, but cruel. It’s not a good thing.”

“Exactly. This is even better. We have more content to play with.”

As Xiao Qi spoke, she picked up her phone, turned on the recording function, and aimed it in Shi Ran’s direction.

The actor was still relentless. He pointed at Shi Ran angrily. “Do you think I’m easy to bully because I’m an extra?”

“I’ve been acting for years. If I was what you call a pervert, would I still be here? Director Li wouldn’t have picked me!”

Director Li’s frown deepened as he listened. He turned to Shi Ran. “Are you overwrought?”

A fierce glint flashed across Shi Ran’s eyes as her lips curled up coldly.

“I trust my judgment. Since he won’t admit it, we can watch a replay of that scene.”

The male extra was not afraid either. “Sure, watch the replay. I’m not afraid of anything!”

He had been acting for so many years that he knew how to avoid the camera.

Shi Ran didn’t think she would see anything today, did she?

Thinking of this, he continued loudly, “If the camera doesn’t capture me taking advantage of you at the end, you have to pay my medical fees and apologize publicly.”

“Sure.” Shi Ran narrowed her eyes. “What if we manage to get footage evidence?”

The actor vowed, “If it’s captured, I’ll kneel and apologize.”

“Okay, let’s watch the replay.” Director Li rubbed his forehead helplessly.

The group headed for the monitors.
