They only shot one scene today. Although it seemed like a light workload, just this one scene had taken most of the day. This was the first time Su Yao had encountered such a situation since she entered the entertainment circle.
And Wu Shanshan was like a person who had suddenly gained superpowers. She passed the scene on her first try.
"Hey? I think Wu Shanshan has a good learning ability. She learned so quickly," a crew member whispered.
"I think so too. But Actress Su's acting skills are really top - notch! She can play two roles by herself without a problem!"
Keep flattering her. Su Yao could still hear those crew members singing her praises even as she was about to leave.
Just as Su Yao walked out of the dressing room, after taking off the costume, she felt fresh and comfortable all over. With nothing to do, she squatted at the door waiting for Li Yin to drive over.
"What did you mean just now?" Suddenly, Wu Shanshan's voice came from behind. "Just because you're an actress and the leading lady, you think you're something special?"
Su Yao had seen many such people in the entertainment circle. She didn't think it was necessary to argue with a young girl, so she pretended not to hear and continued looking in the direction of the door.
"I'm talking to you! Are you ignoring me just because you're an actress?"
"Can you stop causing trouble? It's so hot. You may have the energy to pick a fight, but I don't."
"Su Yao! I won't let you off!"
Wu Shanshan was provoked by Su Yao's nonchalant attitude. She rushed forward, trying to pick a fight with Su Yao. But she walked too fast and fell straight towards Su Yao.
"Ah!"
Su Yao wasn't some kind - hearted saint who had to save others. She could save Wu Shanshan, but she didn't think it was necessary, so she dodged to the side.
The person on the ground slowly got up on all fours but still didn't want to let Su Yao go. She looked like she was ready to fight to the death.
Then, Wu Shanshan's expression suddenly turned ferocious. She even tried to bite Su Yao. "Su Yao, you shameless and pretentious woman!"
The person in front of her was obviously acting strange, but Su Yao couldn't tell exactly what was wrong. She could only hold Wu Shanshan with one hand and cover her mouth with the other to prevent her from hurting herself.
There was no one around. Su Yao was a bit taller than Wu Shanshan and could barely restrain her. "Wu Shanshan, are you crazy!"
Wu Shanshan, with her mouth covered, struggled desperately. Her eyes bulged, and she made muffled sounds from her mouth.
Su Yao only felt that her palm was warm. Bright red blood flowed out through her fingers. Frightened, Su Yao quickly let go. "Wu Shanshan? What's wrong with you?"
"Sister Shanshan!" Another shout came from behind. The person pushed Su Yao away with one shove. Su Yao lost her balance and sat down on the ground with a thud. She recognized this person; it was one of Wu Shanshan's assistants.
What's going on? What's wrong with Wu Shanshan?
Su Yao calmed down a bit and immediately went up again to check on Wu Shanshan's condition. At this moment, Wu Shanshan was lying on the ground, twitching non - stop. Blood was flowing out of her mouth and nostrils.
"Call the hospital quickly!" Su Yao felt for Wu Shanshan's breath. It was barely there. Seeing that the girl beside her was still standing there in a daze, she said, "What are you standing there for? Call!"
The hospital ambulance arrived quickly, but Su Yao knew in her heart that Wu Shanshan was beyond saving. That state was obviously not normal.
It's over. She had done nothing, yet she was going to be involved in this mess.
After the medical staff took Wu Shanshan away, Su Yao ran straight inside.
It was a dressing room that had been set aside. The way out was blocked by her when she was sitting on the steps. Anyone who came out had to pass by her. She pushed the door open, and there was no one inside, which meant that only Wu Shanshan had come out of there.
The room was in a mess. On one side were the things originally stored in the warehouse, and on the other side were the costumes. There was hardly any usable space in the middle, and there was only one door to get out.
The more such a situation, the calmer Su Yao became. Even if, by some miracle, Wu Shanshan survived, she couldn't escape the blame. The police would come to her soon.
"How could this happen?" Su Yao scanned the surroundings. There was a chewing - gum wrapper in the corner, and half a bottle of unfinished water on the table. There was nothing else.
She simply didn't leave and stayed at the door. Sure enough, it wasn't long before the police came.
"Miss Su? Someone has accused you of intentional injury. Please come with us."
"Okay." Li Yin still hadn't come back. At least half an hour had passed.
It wasn't the first time Su Yao had been to the police station, but this was the first time she entered as a suspect. Since she was a public figure, it was better to come to the police station earlier than have the reporters show up first. Su Yao saved herself a lot of trouble this way.
She was alone in the interrogation room. There was only a cup of tea on the table in front of her.
The door was pushed open, and a policewoman in her early thirties walked in. "Miss Su, Wu Shanshan died after rescue efforts failed. Please cooperate with our investigation."
"Since I'm here, of course I'll cooperate. Ask your questions. I won't hide anything I know."
The policewoman nodded in satisfaction. Then she brought in a young girl in a police uniform who was holding a notebook. "The first question. How long have you known Wu Shanshan?"
"I've only been in close contact with her recently. We met on a reality show before, but we weren't familiar with each other."
"We've investigated the video at that time. The footage shows that your relationship was not good. What's going on?"
"I don't know about that. But I can tell you everything from the beginning. The first recent encounter was during the audition at Yuyan Entertainment. She said some very misleading things, but I didn't care. She also came to pick a fight with me after the audition, and I ignored her. When we were shooting the first scene today, she made many mistakes and caused many retakes. I also want to emphasize my attitude. Although I was a bit tired, I still didn't really care. You can ask the other crew members about this. As for what happened later, you can check the surveillance. I didn't attack. I was just defending myself."
A report was suddenly placed in front of Su Yao. It was the report from the hospital, stating that Wu Shanshan had overdosed on drugs.
"It has nothing to do with me! It's impossible!" Su Yao immediately retorted.
"Sorry, Miss Su. We need to conduct an examination. Please cooperate."
Just like that, Su Yao was taken by two policemen to a Chinese - medicine hospital for an examination. After all the trouble, Su Yao was so tired that she could hardly speak. She then returned to the police station with the examination report.
"Sister Yao!" Li Yin was sitting on a chair in the police - station lobby. As soon as she saw Su Yao, she rushed over. "What happened?"
Su Yao noticed that Li Yin's face didn't look good, so instead of answering Li Yin's question, she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"When I went to get the car, I found that it was broken. When I lifted the hood to repair it, someone knocked me out and threw me into the car. I broke the window and escaped after I woke up. Then I heard what happened to you here, so I came."
Someone did this on purpose. Su Yao's eyes darkened.
