After Song Yanshu reported to Mo Ting about Tangning's safety, he immediately instructed Lu Che to watch over her . If Bai Qiusheng dared to lift a finger, he could not blame Mo Ting for responding ruthlessly .
That night, Gu Heng tried multiple times to visit Bai Qiusheng at his room . But, everytime she knocked on the door, there was no one there . Worst of all, he didn't pick up his phone and even his a.s.sistant was nowhere to be found .
As a result, she was pretty certain that Bai Qiusheng would use the car scene to force Tangning out .
He would be really lucky if he succeeded, but if Tangning found out . . .
Gu Heng did not dare to think of the consequences . So she spent the rest of the night in fear .
The next morning .
Tangning headed out for her shoot, but ran into Gu Heng at the front of the hotel .
"Gu Jie?"
"I'll come with you on set . Didn't I promise to show you a demonstration?" Gu Heng reminded .
Tangning smiled, "How could I bother you like that?"
"It's OK . I'm doing it for the sake of achieving a better result for the film in front of the audience," Gu Heng replied .
"OK then . . . "
The three women headed on set together . As they arrived, they found that the crew had already contacted the police to block off a stretch of road and everything was ready to go .
Gu Heng placed her gaze on Bai Qiusheng and tried to get his attention, but he completely ignored her . Obviously, he felt she was being too merciful .
This was Tangning's first time filming a car scene . Even though all the cars followed a planned sequence, the director still ran through all the fine details with Tangning .
Bai Qiusheng stood beside Tangning . As Tangning looked at him, she wondered what thoughts were running through his mind .
Did he not consider, if things got too serious, there was a possiblity she may lose her life?
As expected, Tangning's car was tampered with . 3am that very morning, although the cameras did not capture him, he did not escape the eyes of Lu Che .
Meanwhile, Gu Heng was standing opposite Tangning . As she looked at the way Tangning looked at Bai Qiusheng, she had a feeling her gaze contained a sense of disdain and ridicule .
"Tangning, when the cameras start rolling, you simply need to focus on that camera and remember which route to take . Let's do a practice run," Wei An suggested .
Tangning glanced at Bai Qiusheng and nodded her head, "Director, can I test out the car first? I've never filmed such an intense scene, so I'm feeling a little nervous . "
"Of course . . . " Wei An nodded .
"Why don't I test it out for you," Gu Heng nudged the a.s.sistant director aside and offered, "I have more experience in this . If I demonstrate, Tangning will be able to learn faster . "
Wei An a.n.a.lyzed Gu Heng and nodded his head, "Fine . Gu Heng demonstrate . Tangning watch carefully . "
Bai Qiusheng
Qiusheng looked at Gu Heng with a stunned and angry expression . His gaze also contained an obvious panic . Because he never expected that Gu Heng would directly block him from hurting Tangning to the extent where she would be willing to risk her own life .
This was because she was trying to protect him . . .
So, she did not regret her decision .
"Tangning is a professional, she doesn't need your demonstration," Bai Qiusheng grumbled in front of everyone . "Director, I'll show Tangning to the car . I'm sure she'll get used to it after a quick drive . "
"This does sound like a better use of our time . . . " Wei An nodded, agreeing to Bai Qiusheng's suggestion .
Tangning looked at Bai Qiusheng as her lips slowly curved upwards, "Director Wei, I think if Bai Ge takes me for a drive, the result would be even better . "
Hearing Tangning's suggestion, Gu Heng's face turned pale . . .
Because this was proof that Tangning knew what her and Bai Qiusheng had planned . Including Bai Qiusheng's plan today to injure her .
"Tangning's right . Qiusheng, we will need to trouble you for a bit to go give Tangning a demonstration," Wei An said as he pointed to the car parked not too far away .
Although Bai Qiusheng was given a difficult task, he remained calm . Because instead of walking over to Tangning's car, he simply walked over to his own one instead .
However . . . his car happened to be out of fuel .
Seeing this, the props a.s.sistant immediately apologized, "Sorry, I forgot to check it . I'll go add some fuel now . "
"In that case, drive Tangning's car for now," Wei An said to Bai Qiusheng .
Bai Qiusheng furrowed his brows and looked at Tangning . However, Tangning looked back at him with a sense of interest and slight mockery . . .
Bai Qiusheng was surprised, but he still stepped out of his car and headed for Tangning's car . At this time, Gu Heng suddenly blocked his way, "I still think it's best if I do it . . . "
This time, Wei An sensed something was a bit unusual, so he asked, "Why are you guys fighting over something like this?"
Gu Heng turned and looked at Tangning, hoping she could show some mercy .
However, Tangning laughed and said, "That's right . Gu Jie, you were supposed to have a day off today . You really don't need to worry about my safety, everyone is here . Although it's my first time doing a scene like this, I'm not afraid . "
Gu Heng looked at Tangning, at the way she wasn't willing to back down, and suddenly felt helpless .
"Qiusheng?" Wei An queried .
Bai Qiusheng pushed Gu Heng aside and boarded the car, locking the door firmly behind him . . .
He of course couldn't tell anyone that there was something wrong with the car brakes . So he looked at Tangning through the rear view mirror with a dangerous gaze .
He had never imagined that he'd fall into Tangning's hands; a woman's hands . . .
How did she find out what was happening? Or did she actually not know and all this was just a coincidence?
Gu Heng watched as Bai Qiusheng sat in the car . She was still unsure whether she should take on all the blame to save him . If she was to do that, her future would be destroyed . . .
But, she knew that Bai Qiusheng did all this because of her . She couldn't let Bai Qiusheng take such a huge risk .
So, she had no choice but to beg Tangning . . .
She even dragged Tangning to one side, "Tangning, I don't want to see either you or Qiusheng get hurt today . Could you please convince the Director not to use the car?"
"So, Gu Jie also knows that there's something wrong with the car?" Tangning tested .
"I simply don't want . . . " Gu Heng looked extra uncomfortable . "Everything he did was for my sake . I hope you can show some mercy . "
"Have you considered what might have happened if I started driving that car?" Tangning asked straightforwardly .
"That's why I came . Whether it's you or him, I wasn't going to let either of you drive that car . . . "
"Even if you can prevent this incident, what about the next?" Tangning asked .
Gu Heng was speechless . . .
She was right . What would she do next time?
"Since he has the courage to gamble with my life, he should give me a life in return . I have always been one to give an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth . Even if you kneel down and beg me today, I will still make him drive that car . I need to let him know that not everyone can do as they please . "
For the sake of her husband, she had to ensure that she lived better than others .
Of course, Tangning did not tell her this .
