The director nodded repeatedly. “We must investigate thoroughly. If it’s an accident, the production team will compensate you according to the contract.”

Lu Zhen smiled. “Accident? I’m afraid not.’

Not long after, Lu Rou saw a few people in mechanical uniforms gathered at the director’s side from afar. She immediately had a bad feeling.

“Didn’t you check it a few times? Why is the wire still broken?!” The director glared at the robots. “Who’s in charge of this? Come out!”

Several people stood up silently. They looked at each other with confusion and panic in their eyes.

“Director, we really checked. There was nothing wrong with the wires at that time!”

“That’s right, Director. We can’t joke about the lives of actors. As long as the accessories are a little worn, we’ll replace them. There won’t be any problems.”

“This must be an accident. Director, you have to believe us!”

The director frowned, looking troubled. This had never happened to his production team before. At this moment, he was at a loss.

Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Lu Zhen, who had been standing at the side without saying anything, suddenly spoke. She looked at one of the mechanics and said calmly, “Why didn’t you explain?”

The mechanic suddenly raised his head, looking a little flustered and frightened. “I-I don’t know either. What do you want me to explain?”

The director also noticed the mechanic. He was a director and had filmed countless movies. He was very sensitive to people’s expressions and actions. He immediately saw that there was something wrong with the mechanic’s reaction.

His panic and fear were different from the other mechanics. The mechanic’s eyes kept moving quickly, and his arms and legs were trembling slightly. When he spoke, he looked to the side, as if he did not dare to look at anyone. This was obviously a sign of guilt!

The director stared at the mechanic. “Did you do this?”

The mechanic was so frightened that he could not speak clearly. “Director, it’s not me. It’s really not me…”

The mechanic kept denying it, insisting that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Lu Zhen touched her chin and thought for a moment. “A mechanic has no grudge against me. If he wasn’t instructed by someone, he probably wouldn’t have taken the risk to tamper with the wires. Director, why don’t we check this person’s bank account and see if he has had any large money transactions recently? Then we’ll know if he was instructed by someone.”

With that, Lu Zhen said to the mechanic, “If you don’t feel guilty, let the production team investigate. How about that?”

The mechanic’s face was so pale that not a trace of blood could be seen. His lips trembled. After a long time, he slowly fell to the ground. “I did it…”

The mechanic wanted to explain that he didn’t want to do that because that person had given him too much. That was why he had lost his rationality because of money, but there was no point in saying that now.

Lu Zhen stretched. She did not look too surprised or angry. She looked at the director. “Director, the wires should have been repaired. Let’s finish filming this scene first before investigating who bribed this person to break the wires.

How about that?”

The director hurriedly nodded. “If you’re not affected, we can start filming immediately. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you an explanation for this.”

In front of the camera, the valiant female general turned to look at the pursuers and revealed a cold and mocking smile. That smile did not seem to be an act at all. It was natural and casual, but it made people feel the powerful aura of the female general.

Then, the female general jumped down from the cliff.

“Cut! It’s perfect. Pass!”

Lu Zhen passed the scene in one go. She took off the device that connected her to the wires and flipped her hair. Then, she walked to the monitor to look at her performance just now. The director praised, “Your smile is too good. You’re handsome and cold. You expressed that disdain just right. It’s simply at the level of a textbook!”

Lu Zhen smiled calmly. Actually, when she filmed this scene, she only treated the camera as Lu Rou.

A good actor had to learn to mobilize emotions in reality, didn’t he?

At this moment, Lu Rou’s eyes almost popped out when she saw Lu Zhen leave after filming.

Why didn’t she fall from the sky and die? Why!

Lu Rou, who was filled with anticipation, was like a teasing audience. When Lu Zhen was about to jump down, the malicious and vicious smile on her face could hardly be concealed. However, when she saw that Lu Zhen had finished filming this scene safely, Lu Rou’s smile froze..
