Chapter 559 Let Alone Herself When Ouyang Qing noticed that Tang Jing was keeping quiet again, an urge to slap the latter washed over her. Nevertheless, she held herself back. She reminded herself that Tang Jing was her tool.
There were many risky things she could not personally do. She needed Tang Jing to do it. If anything went wrong, she could use Tang Jing as the scapegoat.
âTang Jing, do you want to be as great as that b*tch? You were also one of the main crew of The Sound of Thunder sequel, but is there anyone who remembers you? No one. That b*tch is the only one anyone remembers. Are you willing to watch her slowly reach the sky while you remain on the ground?
Are you okay with being an extra forever?â
When Ouyang Qing realized that insults and curses did not work on Tang Jing, she switched tactics and changed her tone.
However, Tang Jingâs lips were still tightly pressed together.
âWhatâs the matter with you? I asked you to do things, but you wonât do them. Now Iâm asking you to talk, but you wonât talk!â
Anger swept over her, and she jumped to her feet.
Finally, Tang Jing quietly said, âDonât be mad. Iâve just temporarily run out of plans.â
âIâm warning you now, Tang Jing. I have limited patience. If you still canât do this well, Iâm going to get someone else to do the job. Iâll get someone who can actually do something,â Ouyang Qing hissed.
Again, Tang Jing did not answer her.
âFine. Iâm going to talk to the other investors tomorrow and get someone else to take over your role.
There are plenty of actresses on this land, and Iâm going to get someone who can actually do things for me.â
Tang Jing did not know whether Ouyang Qing was speaking the truth, but she had to assume that the woman was serious.
If Ouyang Qing really replaced her with someone else, her plans would be ruined.
Hence, she said, âWhat do you want me to do?â Tang Jing weakly asked.
âDidnât I tell you about it? I want you to do something to that b*tchâs kid. Once something happens to her kid, she wonât be in the mood to film anymore. Canât you understand what Iâm talking about?â
Ouyang Qing bellowed.
âBut I donât have the opportunity to. I can only do something like that with an opportunity.â
âBut will you do it if the opportunity comes?â Ouyang Qing questioned.
Tang Jing fell silent again.
âIf you donât do it, you wonât even get to play as a side character. On the other hand, if you do it and destroy that b*tch, then youâll get to play the lead role. Make your choice. You have to give me an answer tonight, or else Iâll replace you with someone else,â Ouyang Qing told her.
Tang Jing knew that she could not dismiss the matter anymore because Ouyang Qing was truly anxious.
âIâll do it if the right opportunity appears,â Tang Jing promised.
âReally? Youâre going to end that b*tchâs kidâs life if you have the chance?â
âBoth?â
âOneâs fine.â Even one, and that b*tch will be so traumatized that she wonât be able to focus on her show. Sheâd be so trapped in her misery that sheâll disappear from the showbiz! By the time she digests the pain and reappears in public again, no one will recognize her. After all, there are always new people in the industry. Thereâs no lack of talent in the showbiz anyway.
When Ouyang Qing said those things, it was as if she could already see the way Ning Ran was going to break down. The very idea of it delighted her.
âUnfortunately, there isnât an opportunity for us to do that,â Tang Jing said.
âWe do. Iâve created the opportunity for you.â Ouyang Qing cackled.
âYou did?â
âYes. Iâve convinced a few investors, and theyâve agreed to hire Ning Ranâs daughter to play the character Fangfang. They were all agreeable with me, and they thought that this was a good idea.
Moreover, the producer has agreed to pay ten million for the girlâs appearance. Ning Ranâs a penniless woman, so sheâll be tempted by the amount. Iâm sure sheâll definitely say yes to this!â Ouyang Qing exclaimed.
Tang Jingâs heart skipped a beat. Has Ouyang Qing really made all the arrangements?
âBut will Sir Chen agree to it? Thatâs the Nan familyâs Little Miss. Iâm sure the Nan family wouldnât let her live a tough life out here.â
âLetting a kid film a show is a meaningful matter. If we were to look at this from just the financial angle, then yes, the Nan family would certainly not agree to it because they donât need the money. What they donât know is the risk involved. Furthermore, Iâve interacted with the girl before. Sheâs active and loves the perform, so sheâll surely be interested in the role. The Nan family dotes on her, so the chances of them agreeing to this are high,â Ouyang Qing pointed out.
Tang Jing could feel the hair standing at the back of her neck. Although she wanted to rise to the top, she never thought of hurting someone to do that.
She never thought of killing someone, let alone a child!
It was a mortifying idea.
Despite the innocent appearance Ouyang Qing had, she had an evil heart.
It seems like I have to be careful as well, or else sheâll eventually kill me, too. If she can do such a ruthless thing to a kid, why will she hesitate with me?
âWhat should I do?â
âThe girl likes sweet stuff. As long as she sees sweet food, she wonât be able to control herself. Iâll arrange for someone to order some desserts from a bakery and add a little something to them. Bring those desserts to the film site, and that girl will certainly try them. As long as she eats it, your job is done,â Ouyang Qing replied.
Her reply made Tang Jingâs heart skip another beat. As it turned out, Ouyang Qing had already planned everything out. However, there was an obvious flaw in her plan.
If I bring the desserts to the film site, and if the pretty little girl dies from the poison in them, wonât the police look into the matter? Wonât the Nan family look into the matter?
If they start an investigation, theyâd soon find out that Iâm the one who brought the desserts to the site.
By then, Iâd become the murderer. How can I possibly still play the lead role?
In other words, in this plan of hers, both the girl and I are doomed.
Thereâs no bad blood between the Nan family and me, let alone between the girl and me. If I were to end her life, mine would be over as well. Why would I do this?
Noticing that Tang Jing was deep in her thoughts, Ouyang Qing asked, âWhat are you thinking about?â
âWhat then?â Tang Jing asked.
âThen the girl dies, and that b*tch Ding Mi will have a mental breakdown. After that, youâll be the main character in the movie. Isnât that simple?â
âWill the police not find out who did it? Will the Nan family just leave it as that?â Tang Jing continued.
âThey wonât be able to find anything. Theyâll never think that thereâs anything wrong with the dessert.â
Ouyang Qing waved dismissively.
Tang Jing scoffed inwardly. Does she think that Iâm an idiot, or does she think that the Nan family is full of idiots? Someoneâs dead, and youâre really trying to tell me that theyâre not going to look into the details to find out the truth? Youâre clearly making me the scapegoat so that you can destroy Ning Ran!
âThereâs no way they wonât be able to find out the truth. The technology that the police use nowadays is much more advanced than you think they are. Theyâll run tests on the desserts, and theyâll find out that it has poison in them. Then, Iâm doomed,â Tang Jing said.
âAre you scared?â Ouyang Qing stared at Tang Jing.
âOf course I am. If Iâm caught, Iâd have to pay with my life. Nan Chen will tear me from limb to limb.
Who isnât afraid of that? Are you not afraid of that?â Tang Jing retorted.
âIf youâre scared, that means youâre not going to do it. In that case, Iâll get someone to replace you.â
âWeâll still do it, but we can use a different way in which I donât bring the desserts there myself. That way, the police wonât be able to trace it back to me. You have to think of a way to protect me. If Iâm arrested, I canât guarantee that I wonât expose you.â
It was clear that Tang Jing was threatening Ouyang Qing as well.
Ouyang Qing hummed as she mulled over Tang Jingâs words. Although Tang Jingâs death meant nothing to her, it would be bad if she were to get caught up in the case as well. If Nan Chen found out that she was the one behind the plan, he would definitely skin her alive as well.
âSo, any ideas for how we can avoid that? This is something that has to be done. If we donât do this, Ning Ranâs career will become better and better, and in the future, you and I will reach the end of our roads. Iâm fine with anything. No matter how well that b*tchâs career is, sheâs still just an entertainer. On the other hand, Iâm the daughter of the Ouyang family, and thatâs something that wonât change. But itâs not the same for you. If you donât use her as a stepping stone, youâd just be a side character forever.â
