Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 737 Shu Yan in Trouble!
Chapter 737: Chapter 737 Shu Yan in Trouble!
South City Film and Television Shooting Base.
After discussing investment matters with Shao Changqing for a while, Jiang Li sat down to watch their filming.
With the sufficient funds available, it was clear that Shao Changqing’s team size had increased significantly, even utilizing state-of-the-art filming equipment.
However, none of them slackened due to the ample funding; in fact, their spirits were even higher than before, and after working continuously all afternoon, not a single complaint was heard.
To reward them, Jiang Li specially arranged dinner, ordering boxed meals from a well-known nearby restaurant for everyone.
In no time, from the actors to the staff, there was no one who did not repeatedly thank her.
"Sister Li is really a great person, always spending so much every time she comes."
"Woow, how can there be someone so beautiful, so rich, and so kind-hearted in this world?!"
"It’s a pity that Miss Jiang doesn’t act, if she were in this movie, I could film her stunning face every day."
"I wish Sister Li would come every day so that we could have delicious food every day." freёnovelkiss.com
Jiang Li didn’t go home either and joined Bai Lu and the others for the meal with her boxed dinner.
The group enjoyed their meal immensely, and Bai Lu continually scooped the tastiest bits from her own box into Jiang Li’s.
"Lili, try this, it’s really tasty."
"Lili, try this drink too, it’s really good."
Luo Xingmu didn’t want to be left out and heaped his assistant-brought delicacies in front of Jiang Li.
"Sister Jiang, this is good for your health, eat this."
"Sister Jiang, this won’t make you fat, your figure is so good, you must pay attention to maintaining it, try this."
Shang Shuyue also brought her boxed meal from home.
"This was fried by my mother, it’s really fragrant, try it."
"This is my father——"
"Hey hey hey." Opposite her, Jiang Yan, dissatisfied, tapped his chopsticks. "What are you guys doing? Stuffing so much food in front of her, can she even eat it all? Why don’t you ask me? I’ve been filming action scenes all day, and I’m starving, and all I got was a bowl of rice."
Shang Shuyue huffed: "Anyway, you managed two days without food on the island before, what’s missing one meal now?"
Jiang Yan was even more dissatisfied. "You’re my assistant, how can you say such a thing?"
Shang Shuyue pouted and shared half of her meal’s dishes with him.
"There, happy now?"
Jiang Yan finally closed his mouth, swallowing a large piece of double-cooked pork and giving a thumbs up: "As expected of auntie’s cooking, it’s really delicious."
Shang Shuyue: "...."
During the meal, Bai Lu started sharing her gossip.
"I don’t know if you saw the trending searches before, but an actress from my former agency accidentally died."
"I know, I know." An actress playing the second female lead piped up. "I saw the news, it was Ye Chu, right? They said it was an accident, she drowned in a river."
"Ah, how could that happen?" Luo Xingmu was also surprised.
Ye Chu had also been a seasoned actor in the industry, recognized for his strength, having previously worked with her and they were somewhat acquainted.
Though a bit dominant, he had been quite tolerant and even taken care of her; how could he suddenly have an accident?
"I don’t know," Bai Lu shook her head. "It was quite sudden, and according to a colleague of mine, Ye Chu hadn’t been in a good state recently, and his work wasn’t going smoothly either. Probably too much stress, he wasn’t paying attention while driving, and that led to the accident."
However, Jiang Li was the most shocked.
He had met Ye Chu and even had some interactions with her, having seen her face before.
Although her facial features didn’t suggest she was a good person, she wasn’t extremely evil either.
Due to the good karma accumulated from her previous life, she was supposed to have a smooth life.
Her Life Palace was also rather full, indicating a long life. How could she suddenly die an unexpected death like that? It didn’t make sense.
Fate was supposed to determine one’s life, aging, illness, and death, unless someone made a choice that defied their destiny; otherwise, such a big change shouldn’t happen.
Jiang Li was secretly cautious, about to search for news about Ye Chu, when an incoming call popped up on her phone.
The three big characters "Qi Tianyu" were vividly displayed on the screen.
Jiang Li was slightly startled and felt that something might have happened, especially since Tianyu had seldom contacted her recently.
With that thought, she quickly got up and walked out to a secluded area to answer the phone.
Before she could speak, Tianyu’s anxious voice came through the receiver —
"Sister Li, something seems to have happened!"
"What happened?" Jiang Li’s voice was calm.
Tianyu swallowed, trying to calm himself down.
"Sister Li, remember you told me to keep an eye on Sister Yan because she seemed off lately? Coincidentally, one of my classmates lives in the same building complex as her, right above her apartment. He and I are preparing for a debate, so I’ve been staying at his place recently. To avoid rousing any suspicion, I didn’t tell Sister Yan about this, and she hasn’t noticed me."
"Now, you really guessed right. Sister Yan has been in a poor mood lately. Every evening I can hear them arguing. I have secretly reported them to the property management multiple times, but they always say it’s just a domestic issue and they shouldn’t intervene. I thought so too; after all, doesn’t every family have its arguments? I thought it wasn’t that serious and didn’t continue bothering, but then, just yesterday —"
Tianyu’s voice grew tense.
"Just yesterday, they seemed to have a big fight, a really loud one. I even heard the sound of glass breaking and crying, and it felt too wrong, so I called the police. But the police came and left soon after, saying it was just a couple arguing over trivial matters."
"But do you know? Since last night until now, their apartment has been eerily quiet! Normally it’s noisy from morning till night, but today there hasn’t been a sound of footsteps even!"
He felt very uneasy and, in a rush, he called Shu Yan.
Unexpectedly, after numerous calls, none went through.
Since he had already called the police yesterday, and the police had found Shu Yan okay, it wasn’t even 24 hours yet, so the police couldn’t intervene again.
Out of options, he simply took his classmate downstairs to knock on Shu Yan’s door, which took several minutes to open.
The door was opened by an elderly lady, who glared at them fiercely and asked what they wanted.
Tianyu naturally said he was looking for Shu Yan.
To his surprise, the old lady’s expression turned even more fierce, and she coldly said, "She’s not here," before slamming the door shut.
At this point, Tianyu’s heart raced even more.
Because he had been monitoring Shu Yan’s apartment the whole day, and since the big commotion last night, he hadn’t seen Shu Yan come in or out. How could she possibly not be there?
