Peng Sicheng was deeply touched by Xu Xiyan’s generosity. When she’d come to help, she hadn’t even asked for any payment. She only wanted to help.

“Pay her a tenth of what we are paying Huang Yanran,” Peng Sicheng said.

“Isn’t that too much?” Mr. Xing asked, as if he thought he misunderstood.

“No, it’s not,” Peng Sicheng replied without any hesitation. “She’s worth that much.”

After a few shots, the crew was resting as Ma Haodong walked into the set.

After a few greetings, Peng Sicheng looked at him and asked, “Are you feeling better now?”

“I am,” Ma Haodong smiled. “Thank you for your concern. I’m ready to get back into the game.”

“Good, then hurry up and get prepared,” Peng Sicheng nodded. “We’ll be taking the 167th scene later. It’s a fight scene between you and the lead actress.”

“I thought Huang Yanran had hurt her wrist?” Ma Haodong asked, scratching his head. “Is she healed already?”

Ma Haodong had acted sick so he could skip his job, it was normal for him to suspect others of doing the same.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Peng Sicheng corrected. “It’s with the stunt double.”

“I see,” Ma Haodong nodded and went to the makeup studio.

Ma Haodong came out wearing a biker jacket and leather gloves. He stood on the set like a real antagonist.

It was as if the role was made specifically for him.

Xu Xiyan went back to the set after her rest. As soon as Ma Haodong noticed that the stunt double was Xu Xiyan, his eyes lit up.

“Jing Xi!” he called. “So the stunt double is still you!”

Ma Haodong thought that the crew would have definitely found another replacement because of Xu Xiyan’s scandal. He’d never thought that they would hire her again.

“Where have you been for the past few days?” Xu Xiyan asked. “It’s like you disappeared or something.”

“I was sick,” Ma Haodong lied, since they were surrounded by a whole ton of staffs. He faked a cough.

“Oh, are you all right?” Xu Xiyan asked. “Do you need me to hold back during the fight scene?”

“Don’t worry about it, just do what you usually do!” Ma Haodong smiled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ma Haodong was already sick of shooting fight scenes with Huang Yanran as she needed a stunt instructor by her side at all times to help her with every move.

Yet, fight scenes with Xu Xiyan were different. They could “fight” to their hearts’ content without any interruptions.

After greeting Ma Haodong, Peng Sicheng took up the loudspeaker and shouted, “Into positions! We’re about to shoot the 167th scene.”

The scene was a murder scene where the second male lead appeared at an abandoned flat.

The female protagonist led a squad to the flat to apprehend the culprit.

The protagonist went into a dark room alone. She readied her gun as she pushed open the door, only to find no one inside.

Just as she was about to leave, a shadow moved. She turned and aimed her gun at the shadow, when the antagonist jumped down and kicked it away.

After fighting for a few rounds, the antagonist grabbed the female protagonist from behind as he locked her arms and neck.
