168 Hoodwinked Once Again

The director and producer smiled warmly, looking at her with assurance. "We've asked the male lead's side; they said they don't mind."

Qu Wan stared at their smiles, feeling an uneasy premonition.

"When does filming start?"

"Qu Teacher, aren’t you currently shooting another drama? You still have over a month before wrapping up. The male lead also has a project, so we’ve scheduled the shoot to begin at the end of June. This drama will take a bit longer because it requires on-location filming across multiple sites. We expect it to last about six months."

Qu Wan let out a small "wow." Her previous longest shoot was only four months. Though longer, it would certainly guarantee the quality of the production.

"Actually, we brought the contract with us this time. Your agent has already reviewed it, and there are basically no issues—"

Before the door opened, Duan Yingsheng looked disheveled and downcast. As soon as it swung open, his face brightened with a charming smile.

Third Brother Shu Jun handed over a pair of scissors adorned with a festive red flower to the lady of the house, inviting her to cut the ribbon. Then, the brothers together yanked off the red cloth covering the plaque.

However, Shu Yu, whose slyness rivaled even the eldest brother’s, had been out of the conspiracy game for too long and seemed to have forgotten that beneath his calm exterior lurked a sharp tongue.

This was the standard emblem of the mercenary company; the number of stars indicated rank, with nine stars being the highest.

He had just taken a phone call, and after hanging up, he suddenly couldn’t find the exact location of the event hall.

Liu Ruoming’s mind was just forming a question mark when the ground in front of Zhong Aying suddenly stirred! The earth seemed to turn into water, pushed by unseen waves beneath the surface, rising and falling like water on the verge of boiling.

After a moment, the old nurse gasped for breath as she walked in from the alley entrance. She clearly hadn’t expected the man to be waiting by the door and was visibly stunned.

Could such a coincidence really happen? Shangguan Ci was a bit skeptical, but watching Shangguan Su’s departing figure, he understood that the siblings shared a strong bond.

Chen Fei frowned deeply as he looked at Li Xing’s car hood, which was dented and still steaming. It was unbelievable—after the collision, Li Xing’s car was badly damaged, yet Fa’s car showed no sign of damage at all.

With a swift motion, Liang Yuening snatched a plate while simultaneously grabbing Liang Zhichen’s chopsticks. As the eldest brother, Liang Zhichen only caught a fleeting illusion before both the chopsticks and the plate vanished—easily snatched away.

"Let me open the door. Are you not planning to stay inside?" Ji Xinliang asked with a mischievous smile.

At first, the two guards had been dutiful, but after Hua Mulan rescued them and gave them a good beating, they became obedient.

Lu Tangtang took a deep breath. No matter what, she would never let those events happen again. She would meet force with force and cover with earth and water. Even if it cost everything, she would protect her family’s safety! She was no longer the naive, foolish girl who allowed others to scheme and sell her out.

But A Lan had clearly said that inside the Divine Beast Cave lived a Dark Snow Beast, whose eyebrow blood could lift the seal placed by Ming Si.

"Sir, the situation is increasingly out of control. Ji Shinian hasn’t contacted me for a long time, and Lu Lian is becoming more uncontrollable. He’s planning to deliberately reveal to Ji Yanmo that most of the Huo family’s assets are under his control!" Cao Tianyou reported respectfully.

Ye Jinmu and the others hadn’t yet gotten out of the car when Ye Manjiang, accompanied by Ye Jinzhi, quickly approached their vehicle.

Time passed day by day. Today marked the seventh day of the King’s Academy entrance exam. From the moment Ruan Meng woke up, her heart pounded anxiously.

Fox seemed to see straight through Ruo Ruo’s thoughts, yet Fox chose not to expose them.

All three found their suspicions utterly baffling, causing their initial joy to be replaced entirely by worry.

Now, those marketing accounts panicked. They had been confident, believing the evidence was solid enough to bring Lu Tangtang down and that Ji Yanmo would be unaffected, even gaining attention in the process. But with the situation reversed, they immediately plummeted into an abyss.
