Chapter 57: All Fall Down

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Yao heard Jiang Jie shout, “Qi Ke, you framed me time and time again, and I let you off every time. But now you’ve killed Ah Song. This time, I want you to pay with your blood! ”

Qi Ke laughed loudly. “Fengxi, as long as it’s something you value, I’ll take it away from you! If you want to blame someone, blame Ah Song for courting death. I asked her to accuse you, but she would rather die than say anything bad about you. Why should I keep such a person?!”

Jiang Jie’s eyes almost popped out. “Die!”

At this point, Jiang Jie and the actress who was acting as Qi Ke were both suspended by wire in mid-air. Initially the intention was to use the wires to control the movement of the actresses as they brushed past each other with their swords. But for some reason, the two wires had become entangled. Jiang Jie and Qi Ke were unaware of it as they carried out their moves seriously. Seeing that they were about to stab each other with their swords, the props manager shouted in horror, “Stop! Stop quickly! There’s a problem with the wires! That sword is real. Drop them right away! You might die if you got stabbed! Drop them!”

When Jiang Jie heard the props manager shouting this, she quickly dropped her sword. This way, even if she were to collide with the actress playing Qi Ke, the latter would not be injured. However, while Jiang Jie dropped her sword, Qi Ke did not. Instead, she pointed the sword straight at Jiang Jie’s chest. The people watching by the side screamed in fear. If this sword stabbed Jiang Jie, the consequences would be unimaginable. Ye Yao was right under the wire, so she had a clear view of the actress playing Qi Ke. After the actress heard the props manager’s shout, not only did she not drop her sword, she even raised it slightly. If Ye Yao’s eyes weren’t playing tricks, her sword was aimed at Jiang Jie’s face!

Ye Yao’s expression darkened. Then, she muttered, “Break Qi Ke’s wire!”

In an instant, Qi Ke’s wire broke as the actress was flying through the air. In

her panic, hurting Jiang Jie became secondary as she shouted, “Help!” Her body fell freely from a height of five meters to the ground. The sword flipped in the air, and stabbed right into her leg, causing blood to flow.

Ye Yao’s expression turned even uglier when she saw such a bloody scene.

Going by her Verbal Virtuosity technique, she had only broken the wire. Under normal circumstances, Qi Ke would not have suffered such a serious injury. Of course, the premise of not being seriously injured was that Qi Ke was a kind person and did not have any ill intentions towards others. However, her leg had been pierced by the sword now. This outcome clearly showed that Qi Ke had underlying evil intentions! She did not drop the sword, instead she wanted to take the opportunity to attack Jiang Jie!

This scene that happened very suddenly threw the production team into chaos. To a large extent, Jiang Jie was frightened as well. Her face was ashen as she was being taken down from the wire. As for Qi Ke, who was on the ground screaming very loudly, she was taken to the hospital.

The series of events took everyone by surprise, and no one could react in time.

The director called for a break mainly because he wanted to take a look at Qi Ke’s injuries. They were running very much behind the filming schedule for this movie, and everyone was pushing forward. Qi Ke was one of the female leads, and had a considerable number of screen appearances. If she could not continue filming because of her current injuries, everything that she had done before would be for naught. Most importantly, Qi Ke was injured while on the set, so the director had to consider how to compensate her. It was too much of a headache.

Ye Yao walked up to Jiang Jie and helped her up. “Jiang Jie, are you alright?”

Hearing Ye Yao’s voice, Jiang Jie’s expression softened a little. Actually, Ye Yao understood the state of mind that Jiang Jie was in. The situation just then was indeed very scary. She led Jiang Jie to a chair and sat her down, then uncapped a bottle of mineral water for her. She squatted beside her and asked, “Is there bad blood between you and that actress?”

Jiang Jie had already recovered a little. She shook her head. “There’s no bad blood. She seems to be quite seriously injured. I didn’t expect the props to go so wrong. That’s too scary.” She had no wish to act in period dramas in the future. It was simply fatal!

“Is it scary? Is it just that the props are scary?” Ye Yao pondered. “Jiang Jie, have you never thought that this is a premeditated episode?”

Jiang Jie covered Ye Yao’s mouth. “Don’t spout nonsense. The people in the production team are very kind. No one will do such a thing.” She had been in the production team for a long time. Everyone got along very well and there was no scheming.

“Is that so?” Ye Yao’s gaze turned to the busy crew members. Suddenly, her lips curled in a wicked smile.. “If this matter were an evil scheme, then everyone involved in it shall slip and fall!”
