Chapter 62: Conspiracy


Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


After s.h.i.+ Lu woke up early in the morning, he rushed to the production team of Gunshot.


According to the news Chu Mei released yesterday, she was going to hold a press conference today. In addition, this matter had blown up so much that Chu Mei definitely wouldn’t be able to keep her role. Then, the production team definitely wouldn’t start work today. Instead, they would have a meeting to discuss the female lead replacement.


If it was as s.h.i.+ Lu expected and the production team had a bet agreement with Chu Mei, Gunshot wouldn’t have been able to continue filming.


Unexpectedly, when s.h.i.+ Lu arrived at the production team this morning, Director Chen Sheng no longer had his usual fawning att.i.tude and suddenly became derisive. “Superstar Shen, the entire production team is trying to catch up on progress. It’s not appropriate for you to go home just like that and make the entire production team wait for you, right?”


s.h.i.+ Lu had been in the entertainment industry for so long, but no one had dared to speak to him like this. He had been in the production team for more than two months and Chen Sheng’s att.i.tude had always been fawning, but now, he was acting like a different person.


s.h.i.+ Lu was about to throw a tantrum when his manager, Zhang Chao, stopped him. Seeing that Zhang Chao’s expression wasn’t right, s.h.i.+ Lu ignored Chen Sheng and returned to the dressing room with Zhang Chao.


“What’s going on? Didn’t I send a message saying that I’m leaving the cast today? Why are they filming again?” s.h.i.+ Lu asked Zhang Chao as soon as he entered the dressing room.


Zhang Chao had followed s.h.i.+ Lu since he entered the entertainment industry. Over the years, from starting out as an unknown actor to becoming a popular celebrity and then to establis.h.i.+ng his own agency, Zhang Chao had always been s.h.i.+ Lu’s right-hand man.


After the banquet last night, s.h.i.+ Lu called Zhang Chao and said that he wanted to withdraw from the filming. At that time, Zhang Chao also said that he would solve the problem. Why did things change so much this morning?


Zhang Chao’s expression was solemn. It seemed that this matter wasn’t easy to resolve.


“Brother, we might have been tricked.” Zhang Chao took out the contract he had signed at that time. “At that time, Chen Sheng went straight to you to sign this contract and completely skipped me. When I found out about this, you had already joined the production team.”


s.h.i.+ Lu took a cursory look. He had never understood such things, so he was too lazy to take a closer look. After flipping through it a few times, he threw it aside and asked, “Is there a problem with the contract?”


Zhang Chao nodded and took the contract over. Then, he pointed out a few terms to s.h.i.+ Lu.


“Look at these clauses. It’s clearly stated that if the production team doesn’t stop filming and you leave without permission, you have to pay a huge compensation.”


Only then did s.h.i.+ Lu realize that he had been tricked.


His habit of choosing exciting and challenging scripts wasn’t a secret in the entertainment industry. At that time, Chen Sheng came to him and said that he could experience the most extreme way to die, so s.h.i.+ Lu didn’t think too much about it and signed the contract on impulse.


Now that he thought about it, things had been fishy since that time. The production team found him without asking his manager at all and directly poached him from the previous production team! That side had just finished filming, but they let him join the production team directly. This was completely against the norm.


There was only one explanation. “We’ve been set up.”


s.h.i.+ Lu punched the table, causing some of the cosmetics on the table to fall to the ground.


Zhang Chao didn’t have the time to persuade him to calm down. He continued, “I think there must be someone behind Chen Sheng’s scheme. It’s very likely that that person is targeting the s.h.i.+ family and not just for you.”


After s.h.i.+ Lu calmed down, he thought about the ins and outs of the matter carefully.


If someone was really behind this, then he had been playing this game for very long. It had been at least a few months since he joined the production team. In order to use him to frame the s.h.i.+ family, this person was very patient.


But even so, asking s.h.i.+ Lu to compensate a huge sum of money was just a drop in the bucket for the s.h.i.+ family. They spent so much effort just for this little money? It didn’t make sense.


s.h.i.+ Lu suddenly thought of Chu Mei and was enlightened. This was a series of schemes!


First, the mastermind used Chu Mei’s bet agreement to set up this project on a tightrope to force s.h.i.+ Lu into breaching the contract when something happened to Chu Mei in the future.


As for Chu Mei’s pregnancy, this mastermind had already expected it, so he instructed Chu Mei to divert the topic to the s.h.i.+ family. No matter the outcome, the s.h.i.+ family would be in a pinch.


However, the mastermind didn’t expect Yuan Shu to resolve this matter so easily, so he used a backup plan.


s.h.i.+ Lu suddenly reacted and said to Zhang Chao, “Look at the trending topics!”
