Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Missing Someone

“I couldn’t tell that Shi Xiao was such a despicable person.”

“Tsk tsk, Madam Shi isn’t a good person either. Wasn’t she very promiscuous in the past?!”

“You can’t judge a book by its cover.”

…

After Chu Mei returned to the van, her expression immediately changed. She pulled out a tissue to wipe the tears on her face and asked the driver to drive to the set. She didn’t forget to instruct her manager to buy some gifts and send them to the production team as compensation for missing work for the past two days.

At this moment, the production team was in chaos.

“You haven’t found him yet?” Director Chen grabbed his assistant anxiously.

“No, I’ve searched everywhere. The surveillance camera last captured Brother Lu at the intersection, but we can’t find him at all now.” The assistant was a little uneasy. “The surveillance camera at the next intersection happened to be broken, so we didn’t capture him.”

“It’s over. It’s over now.” Director Chen slumped into the chair and muttered to himself, “This is great. The heavens want me dead.”

“Director, why don’t we film another scene first? Didn’t we film normally when Sister Chu didn’t come two days ago?” The assistant was a little puzzled.

It was normal for there to be celebrities slacking off in the production team occasionally. At most, they would postpone the filming. When Chu Mei didn’t come a few days ago, the director didn’t go crazy looking for her, like he was looking for Shen Lu now.

“You don’t understand. These two people are different,” The director’s eyes looked lifeless as he said.

Shen Lu was a rare top celebrity in the entertainment industry with both talent and looks. When he first debuted, even the foreign media was shocked and called him “God’s favorite” and “Aphrodite of the East.”

However, his temper was proportional to his appearance. The more good-looking he was, the worse his temper was. From his debut to now, there had been endless scandals. From acting like a big shot and scolding paparazzi to scolding anti-fans until midnight, there were all kinds of scandals.

But his acting skills were too good. All three dramas he starred in won all the major awards for television dramas. He relied on his ability and talent to shut everyone up.

If that was all, perhaps Shen Lu wouldn’t be so arrogant, but he was the second young master of the Shi family.

Moreover, the director was the one who harassed Shen Lu every day for half a year. Now that the second young master of the Shi family was lost while filming, wouldn’t the Shi family kill him if word got out?

Oh right, he could call the Shi family!

Chen Sheng suddenly thought of this and jumped up. He picked up his phone and ran away to make a call, leaving the confused assistant behind.

“Hello, is this the Shi family? I’m Chen Sheng, the director of Shen Lu’s current production team, ‘Gunshot’.”

“Young Master Shi suddenly disappeared during filming. We’ve already sent people to search for him. If it’s convenient, can you please come to the production team? Let’s discuss how to find Second Young Master Shi.”

Yuan Shu was reading on the chaise longue and glanced at the maid lazily when she arrived.

“Who called?”

“It’s a call from the director of Second Young Master’s production team. He said that Second Young Master is missing and wants you to go over and discuss what to do.”

Yuan Shu frowned and thought about the plot she had read in the book for a while before finally remembering this person.

He was a mean-spirited troublemaker.

If her memory was right, the second young master of the Shi family liked to cause trouble and participate in all kinds of extreme sports. After entering the entertainment industry, he became an actor. Now, he was an actor because he wanted to experience something different.

Did he like experiencing these things? Yuan Shu was deep in thought.

“Prepare the car and go to the production team.” The maid didn’t dare to neglect and hurriedly jogged to inform the driver.

Yuan Shu didn’t know much about cars, so she didn’t know about different brands or models.

In the Shi family’s garage, she liked Mercedes-Benz car the most. The back seat was spacious and comfortable for her to sit in.

The production team was also competing on a small scale. Most of the celebrities’ strength was reflected in terms of the cars they drove. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although Chu Mei was part of the main cast in ‘Gunshot’, she was still young in terms of experience. Even so, she had a van and a Porsche.

Yuan Shu didn’t attract much attention when she came in a Mercedes-Benz car. The staff who came and went only took a glance before going to do their own things. At most, they thought that some celebrity had changed cars.

Yuan Shu waited for the bodyguard to get out and help her open the car door. When she got out of the car, she was caught off guard when she heard someone discussing it.

“Which celebrity is she? I’ve never seen her before.”

Yuan Shu ignored them. After she sized up the set, she walked onto the set and asked, “Who’s the director?”

The stage supervisor, who had been discussing her behind her back, passed by and kindly reminded her, “Are you here to audition? The director hasn’t been in a good mood for the past half a day, so he will be more strict than usual. You have to be careful.”

Yuan Shu didn’t explain. She only smiled at the girl.
