After saying what she needed to say, Chi Shuyan hung up decisively and couldn’t be bothered to care about what the people in the other car thought.

In Ruan Shenglin’s van, everyone was stupefied by what she had just said.

This wasn’t a matter of whether they believed her or not, but what Chi Shuyan had just said was too scary. Just thinking about it gave them the creeps, which was why everyone in the car was subdued.

Even Director Wang, who wanted to return to the village, was stunned by Chi Shuyan’s words, and couldn’t utter a word for a long time.

In the end, it was still Du Lan who couldn’t help but pick a bone. After her initial fright, she then felt certain that the Chi woman was deliberately bluffing them. What did she mean by everyone in the village was dead? What did she mean by the temple in Dashan Village rearing an evil creature?

It was simply nonsense. What this woman said was all absurd. It wasn’t like Du Lan hadn’t interacted with the villagers before. Although she looked down on the poor in the village and even felt that they were innately inferior to her, she had still interacted a lot with the villagers when she was putting on a show in front of Director Wang. Those people were just like ordinary people; how could they be dead?

The more Du Lan thought about it, the more she felt that the woman was deliberately duping them. Perhaps this was how she brainwashed Film Emperor Ruan and Brother Yang. Seeing Director Wang’s pale face, she was really intimidated for a moment. Without waiting for anyone to speak, Du Lan couldn’t wait to immediately retort, “Director Wang, don’t listen to this woman’s nonsense. Wouldn’t we know if the villagers are dead or not? I’ve interacted with many of them before. They’re normal people. Can a dead person take a hoe to the fields every day? Can a dead person give you food every day? I think this Chi woman is too scheming and unfathomable. She even lies through her teeth to discredit the villagers of Dashan Village. I wonder what benefits she gets from doing this?”

The more Du Lan spoke, the angrier she became, and her face was filled with indignance. Seeing Director Wang’s pale face relax, she continued, “I might have believed her if she had said anything else. As for some evil thing being raised in the temple, it must be something this Chi woman made up. When I did the ceremony to invite in that True Buddha Lord, a villager took me around the temple, but I didn’t see any evil thing at all.”

Du Lan itched to directly say that this Chi woman was a swindler. However, with Film Emperor Ruan and Manager Yang around and how unsightly their expressions were, she didn’t dare be too direct.

She only swore in front of everyone that someone had once taken her around the temple for a look. She had gone up several floors, but she hadn’t seen any evil thing at all. In short, the temple in Dashan Village was very normal.

Because of Du Lan’s words, the atmosphere in the car eased up. Compared with Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin, who were helpless and annoyed and wanted to strangle her to death, the others more or less believed Du Lan’s words and felt that they did make sense – moreover, the villager had probably shown her around the temple because of her good looks.

Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong didn’t think much of it and just asked curiously, “Sister Du, didn’t the villagers forbid us from approaching the temple? Did someone really take you inside?”

Du Lan felt that Chi Shuyan was lying through her teeth, so she lied through her teeth as well. “Of course. I have a good relationship with one of the villagers. I helped him out a lot before, so he specially took me around the temple for a look and said that the True Buddha inside is especially effective.”

As she spoke, she specially described the interior of the temple in Dashan Village and said that it was similar to other temples. It was filled with Buddha statues and nothing else.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Du Lan’s tone was too confident, and her description was very detailed. Even Yan Zhengming somewhat believed Du Lan’s nonsense, let alone the others.

Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin, who had just racked their brains to persuade the others, were so anxious that they were practically frothing at the mouth. Their eyes turned even darker as they looked at this Du person, wishing they could chop this woman up and roast her.

In particular, when Yang Kun saw that his good brother, Yan Zhengming, believed this woman’s nonsense, he felt even more annoyed, anxious and tired. Yang Kun felt that he had underestimated this Du person’s glib tongue.

This woman was simply too good at talking nonsense. She even had the ability to make lies sound like the truth.

Director Wang did believe her and coughed softly. He couldn’t believe that he had almost been fooled by someone else’s casual and absurd words just now. What Du Lan said made sense. Seeing that Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin were about to speak, he could guess what they wanted to say. Director Wang deliberately interrupted them seriously. “I think what Du Lan said makes sense. Okay, Zhengming, turn around and go back to the village. No one can say anything else. I’ve already decided to go back!”

At the mention of “returning to the village,” Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin’s eyes turned red. Because they hadn’t rested well for the past two days, their eyes were bloodshot and filled with exhaustion and despair.

Probably because their faces were too unsightly and gloomy, Director Wang felt that they had been brainwashed. Afraid that they had been duped, he snorted coldly and deliberately said to Ruan Shenglin, “Shenglin, do you still want to film my movie? If you do, go back. Otherwise, no matter how outstanding you are, I can only replace you!”

Although Director Wang said that, he didn’t really want to replace Ruan Shenglin. It was mainly because Ruan Shenglin was asking for a decent price and the two of them had a good relationship. Most importantly, his acting skills were too outstanding and he didn’t play any tricks. Where could he find such a good actor? Director Wang liked him a lot, so how could he bear to replace him?

As soon as Director Wang brought up such a sensitive topic, everyone except Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun immediately felt their hearts in their throats. Song Chu, Cao Zhengsong and Yan Zhengming were all very anxious, while Ke Mingmei was immersed in her own thoughts. Du Lan immediately gloated and couldn’t wait for Director Wang to really replace Film Emperor Ruan, which could be considered revenge for being shouted at just now.

Yan Zhengming was the most anxious. Ruan Shenglin could be said to be Kun’er’s trump card, and Kun’er only had this one actor under him. If something really happened to Shenglin, it would be detrimental to Kun’er. As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, Yan Zhengming immediately wanted to plead for mercy on Ruan Shenglin’s behalf.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun looked at each other, and Ruan Shenglin was the first to speak. “Director Wang, I want to leave the village!”

Director Wang’s face changed and he was furious. “What did you say?”

The faces of Yan Zhengming and the others immediately changed. Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun, on the other hand, hated that Du woman. Their eyes turned cold. This woman was simply a sh*t stirrer.

Ruan Shenglin looked at Yang Kun meaningfully, and Yang Kun immediately opened the car door and invited Du Lan out. He said coldly, “A small temple can’t afford a great Buddha like Miss Du. We won’t keep you in the car any longer. There are still many cars behind us. Miss Du, you can get in any one of them!”

Du Lan exploded with anger when she saw the two of them not give her face in front of everyone just because of a few words from that Chi woman; they were even chasing her out of the car this time. Her face turned green and purple, and then as red as pig liver. She was so angry that she almost fainted.

But no matter how much she hated the two of them, she knew that she couldn’t afford to offend them now, so she could only continue to take her anger out on the Chi woman.

Moreover, she was proud and arrogant to begin with. How could she let herself be the only one chased out of the car? Director Wang had to get out with her!

So, before getting out of the van, she deliberately convinced Director Wang to get out with her. She even continued to discredit Chi Shuyan in front of Director Wang as she expressed her loyalty. “Director Wang, I think we should get out of the car first! Even if Film Emperor Ruan and the others don’t come back, I’ll follow you back to the village!” She then leaned close to Director Wang’s ear and whispered, “I’m afraid Film Emperor Ruan and Brother Yang have been fooled. Director Wang, let’s get out of the car first. Don’t be angry. If you’re angry, it’s only others who will benefit!”

Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun: …

Yan Zhengming and the others: …

At that moment, Director Wang was really furious at Ruan Shenglin’s firm attitude. He had no idea why Ruan Shenglin was so determined to leave the village.

He couldn’t be bothered to take this kid’s car anymore. If he sat here any longer, he would probably die of anger. He might as well get out of the car with Du Lan.

Seeing Director Wang get out of the car with her, Du Lan relaxed. After getting out of the car, she deliberately put on airs, as if it was for their own good. She advised Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin earnestly, “Film Emperor Ruan, Brother Yang, are you really going to leave the village and not film Director Wang’s movie? I think you’ll definitely regret it in the future!” After saying that, she gloated and said to Director Wang, “Director Wang, I’ll accompany you to the back to inform the others!”

Before they left, Du Lan didn’t forget her ‘good friend,’ Ke Mingmei, and told her to go with them. Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun didn’t care at all if Ke Mingmei got out or not, and thought that she would. Who would have thought that after hesitating for a while, she actually declined and even uncharacteristically said that she wanted to leave the village too!

Du Lan: …
