Chapter 145: A Freak Combination of Factors
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the most luxurious hotel in Jiang City.
Lin Tian sat in front of the computer and carefully browsed through all the information about Luo Chen.
His expression became more and more ugly.
A moment later, he let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair dejectedly.
For some reason, every plan to deal with Luo Chen was very detailed, but there would always be such accidents at the critical juncture of success.
Just like this time, he had spent so much effort to take photos of the event location and even specially checked that there were no cameras around.
However, in the end, his plan was completely ruined because of a small dashcam!
…..
Now, because of the reversal of public opinion on the Internet, the reputation of the entire Luo Corporation has risen to another level.
It was equivalent to him expending so much effort to set it up only to benefit Luo Chen instead!
“Ding!”
At this moment, a message was sent to Lin Tian’s phone.
He unlocked the screen and habitually glanced at it. In the end, after seeing the content, he immediately perked up.
After taking a closer look, a smug smile appeared on his lips.
On the other side.
After the production team decided to start filming, there was a lot of work to do.
This was Luo Chen’s first time personally participating in the production. He thought that it was just filming, but he did not expect that there were so many tasks to handle.
For example, publicity, costumes and props, as well as various arrangements at the filming location.
After a week of hard work, even Luo Chen felt a little tired.
Fortunately, Zhao Ruoshuang had helped him with the company’s matters. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to take them on himself.
Another week passed.
With the filming on track, Luo Chen finally had the chance to take a break at the investment company.
It was a joke that he had previously thought that work in an investment company was already exhausting enough. It now seemed that the workload in the past was like a vacation!
“When can I resolve all these troubles and go back to being a rich second-generation heir!”
Looking at the pile of documents on the table, Luo Chen sighed.
Although most of the work in the company was handled by Zhao Ruoshuang, there was definitely still work for him to handle if he wanted to.
After dealing with the documents that needed to be signed, his cell phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw that the screen was flashing with the phone number of the production crew.
Without any hesitation, Luo Chen adjusted his state and picked up the call.
“President Luo! Something happened on the set! Can you come to the hospital?!”
The staff member could not be bothered to exchange pleasantries. As soon as the call was picked up, he immediately shouted hoarsely.
His tone was filled with anxiety and anger that could not be ignored. It gave Luo Chen a bad feeling.
“I’ll go over now. Which hospital?”
Without thinking, Luo Chen got up, grabbed his jacket, and walked out.
“It’s the First People’s Hospital. President Luo, it’s up to you to call the police or not.”
The signal on the staff’s side didn’t seem too good as there was constant static.
Luo Chen did not hear the last few words and asked again why he would need to call the police.
“… It’s… the supporting actress of our drama.. She has been poisoned.”
The staff member paused for a long time before saying awkwardly.
“How could she be poisoned!”
When Luo Chen heard this, the ominous feeling in his heart became indescribable.
“I… I’m not sure what happened. The water and food in the production team were all distributed uniformly. It seems to be because she drank a bottle of water.”
“Where’s the water? Did you send it for testing?”
“No… no, the event location was too chaotic. When we were filming, she suddenly vomited blood and shocked all of us. Hence we didn’t have time to investigate the reason before we sent her to the hospital.”
The staff member was silent for a while, and there was an unconcealable panic in his tone.
After all, this was not an ordinary shooting accident!
The actress was poisoned because she had eaten the food given by the production team. It was obvious that someone had deliberately poisoned the food. They could not even be sure if there were other poisoned food left at the event location.
If this matter was not resolved properly, it would affect the filming progress. If the news spread, their entire production team would probably become a joke in the industry.
“Alright, wait a moment. I’ll go over there immediately.”
Luo Chen had already gotten into the car, but he did not choose to hang up. Instead, he asked the staff member to keep in touch with him and drove all the way to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, Luo Chen saw the stage supervisor waiting at the door in the crew uniform.
“President Luo, you’re finally here!”
When the stage supervisor saw Luo Chen, he was so relieved that tears were about to fall. Without a word, he pulled him into the hospital.
When they reached the seventh floor, the corridor was noisy.
After such a huge incident, the filming naturally had to stop.
Almost all the actors in the production team were newbies. Only the male lead was slightly famous, just enough for the public to find his face familiar.
They were all young people. After interacting with each other for so many days, their relationship was not bad.
The supporting actress was called Wang Meng. She had the image of a little sister next door. She was pure and cute, and her temper was also soft. She was very likable in the production team.
However, when Luo Chen entered the ward, he could not help but frown.
Wang Meng lay on the bed with her eyes closed. There were many tubes connected to her body, and the equipment beside the bed kept beeping.
Her face, which had some baby fat, was abnormally swollen at this moment. Her soft lips had already turned a faint purple. On the fair skin exposed by the collar of her hospital gown, one could see terrifying bruises.
It could be said to be very different from her usual appearance!
Anyone who saw this scene would not feel good.
“President Luo, there’s a call from the film set. They said that they’ve already checked the remaining food and didn’t find anyone else’s food with poison.”
“Because the food in the production team is provided uniformly, our production team’s food standards are not bad, so everyone basically eats together.”
“No one else has symptoms of poisoning. The most likely problem is the water.”
“But all the water on the set is in sealed bottles. We really can’t find the source of the poison.”
The stage supervisor connected the two phone lines and spoke carefully to Luo Chen.
“Have you called the police?”
After a moment of silence, Luo Chen slowly opened his mouth.
“Are we really going to call the police?”
The stage supervisor was not sure if Luo Chen was speaking out of anger.
Although the situation was indeed serious enough to involve the police, their filming schedule was very tight now. Moreover, once the police were called, the situation on the set would be exposed in advance. At that time, it would definitely affect the box office..
