The apologies from the Mad Dog's gang were not an act.

They not only brought a lot of gifts to compensate for the damage they caused yesterday, but they also took on all the expenses of the film crew these past days.

With such a sincere attitude, the director couldn't help but glance at Li Qinghe while entertaining Mad Dog.

He guessed it must be Li Qinghe who had used her family's influence. Otherwise, how could these people submit so easily?

Not just the director, many others had the same suspicion. Seeing many glances directed her way, Li Qinghe felt quite helpless.

Great, thanks to Xu Fan, she was now the big hero who saved everyone.

"Brother Wang, are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling well, you should go back first,"

With Mad Dog's gang having already left and noticing Wang Zhennan's gloomy face, Li Qinghe couldn't help but ask.

With no more disturbances expected, it wouldn't matter if Wang Zhennan was present or not.

"No... no problem, thank you Miss Li for your concern,"

Wang Zhennan replied awkwardly, his mood was incredibly down, almost to the point of tears.

Damn it, he had been looking forward to seeing Xu Fan getting thrashed, but who could have foreseen such a dramatic outcome?

How on earth had that guy managed it?

…

Soon, the shooting continued.

Everyone was in good form that day and many shots were completed in one take.

Since a night scene had to be filmed later, everyone quickly finished dinner and gathered together.

The main plot of this scene was the assassin's night infiltration of the Grand Tutor's Mansion to assassinate Xun Tianba, the son of the influential Grand Tutor.

The assassin, who didn't even have a name, seemed insignificant but was a critical turning point in the film.

Because he killed the Grand Tutor's son, the court and the martial arts world were completely at odds,

This character controlled the direction of the entire film's plot!

Therefore, this secret night infiltration of the Grand Tutor's Mansion was crucial.

In casting the actor, considering that the assassin was masked and his face wouldn't be seen, the crew focused purely on physical ability and finally chose a martial artist for the role.

Everything was ready now, the actor playing the assassin, suspended by wires, gave the OK sign to everyone; the director nodded in understanding.

"ACTION!"

In a split second under the misty night rain, a dark figure burst out from the shadows; as the camera panned, the figure rushed to the corner of the Grand Tutor's Mansion's wall!

Using the wires, the assassin climbed up the wall with the agility of a gecko. After scaling the wall, he lightly stepped and, aided by the wires, flew over to the roof a few meters away, with the camera operator rapidly following!

"Ah!"

The director, completely engrossed, was startled by a sudden scream!

Immediately, he sat up and yelled, "CUT!"

The director had been pleased with the assassin actor's performance until now and was about to wrap up this segment when it was ruined by the actor's yell.

The director was truly frustrated.

"Director... the actor sprained his ankle!"

At that moment, the camera operator, suspended by the boom, looked away from the camera and shouted down.

"What? What happened?" the director asked anxiously upon hearing that the actor had sprained his ankle.

After carefully selecting the right actor for the role, a sprained ankle was a real setback.

"Director, the rooftop tiles are already slippery, and with the added rain effect, he slipped by accident,"

The director couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"What are we going to do now?"

With the martial artist's leg sprained, it was unlikely to heal quickly. The director frowned, not wanting to delay this scene and waste time.

"Aside from him, is there anyone else who can play the assassin?"

The director asked the script supervisor, hoping to find someone to save the day at the last minute.

The script supervisor shook his head and said, "No, the requirements for the assassin are too many, finding the right person would take at least a few days."

"This is..."

The director scratched his head, at a loss for what to do in the moment.

This scene was crucial; he couldn't just find someone at random to act it out. But if he didn't complete these scenes now, it would delay the schedule.

As he was wrestling with the problem, he saw Li Qinghe walking over.

"Director, how about letting my bodyguard give it a try?"

"Hmm?"

Li Qinghe's suggestion caught the director by surprise!

Xu Fan's physique indeed fit his vision of the assassin perfectly.

"Is that possible?"

Since Li Qinghe dared to recommend him, she must have been confident, but considering the importance of the scene, the director couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry! He's absolutely up to the role!"

Li Qinghe assured him earnestly.

She had witnessed Xu Fan's skills firsthand; playing such a role would be no problem for him!

"Alright, let's give it a try."

Seeing as there was no suitable candidate available, and sitting anxiously was no better, the director decided to give it a shot.

Once the director agreed, Li Qinghe dragged Xu Fan over, half pulling, half dragging him.

"Can you guys bring him a set of nightwear?"

Having brought Xu Fan over, Li Qinghe waved to the props team nearby and gave them their instructions.

Xu Fan felt helpless, thinking that playing a temporary bodyguard was enough, but now every issue seemed to fall on him.

"Xu Fan, I'm counting on this movie to make another run for Best Actress, you've got to help me out here,"

Taking advantage of the props team's preparation gap, Li Qinghe looked at Xu Fan pleadingly.

"I owe you a favor, okay?"

"..."

He had been watching the filming process just now, the assassin's movements were certainly within his capability, and with Li Qinghe's pleading, it was difficult to refuse.

Xu Fan shrugged and said, "Alright then, but let me say this upfront, I've never acted in a film before."

Taking someone's life was no problem for him, but acting it out in a film was indeed a first.

"Don't worry, my judgment is always spot on!"

Li Qinghe said with a wink.

She wasn't concerned about Xu Fan's worries at all; she believed in the man she had chosen!

Before long, the props team brought over the nightwear which fit Xu Fan almost perfectly after he put it on.

Having changed into the costume, Xu Fan took the scarf handed to him by Li Qinghe and put it on.

In the pitch-black nightwear, at that moment, Xu Fan blended into the darkness.

Only his deep and profound eyes were visible.

The inky black of his eyes coldly glimmered, chilling the director and the props team who were watching!

Such a demeanor indeed had the feel of an assassin.

"I'm ready."

Quickly, Xu Fan slung the prop longsword on his back, took a deep breath, and looked over at the director.
