Chapter 163 Have you thought about the consequences of framing me?
Chapter 163 Have you thought about the consequences of framing me?
Seeing several cameras and cell phones pointed at her from the crowd, Cheng Ai quickly lowered her head and said coldly, "Don't be fooled, we are not thieves."
She really didn't want to cause trouble for Ye Jingke unless absolutely necessary.
Qi Xingyue snorted coldly, her disdain growing stronger, and angrily rebuked, "Stop making excuses!"
She pointed at Cheng Ai, then tugged at Jin Manman, her tone sharp and mocking, "You say you're a celebrity, right? Then why don't you raise your head and let everyone see your face?"
Then, changing the subject aggressively, "Okay, even if you're a celebrity, the difference between your assistant's outfit and the one you're wearing is too great. If you didn't steal it, did you buy it?"
More and more people came to watch the spectacle, including extras who had just finished filming and were on their way home, as well as some minor supporting actors.
Several people recognized the coat and exclaimed in shock:
"Is this the new design from that fashion designer on the cover of the fashion magazine? It's so beautiful!"
"Of all things to steal, why did she dare touch this priceless dress? Is she tired of living?"
"I didn't see the main actor today, who wore this jacket?"
Cheng Ai narrowed her eyes slightly, and slowly clenched her hands at her sides.
Although he can't use his magic for the time being, he still has the strength to beat up a woman with ease!
Qi Xingyue naturally noticed this little action, and another plan suddenly popped into her mind.
She hid behind the nearest man carrying a camera, her eyes brimming with fear and on the verge of tears, pleading, "Please don't hit me! I've given you all the money, please spare my life!"
People often feel pity and sympathy for the weak, especially when the other person is a pitiful little thing with tears streaming down their face.
The man straightened his back, pointed at Cheng Ai indignantly, and cursed, "Shameless thief, quickly return the money and clothes to the owner, or else..."
Before he could finish speaking, his finger was snapped off. A sharp pain shot through him, and he couldn't help but drop his equipment, screaming, "Aaaaaah...it hurts so much...murder! Call an ambulance! Call the police!"
Unfortunately, no one dared to make a move, fearing they would be implicated.
Seeing the man's miserable state, Jin Manman felt extremely satisfied. "Serves you right for spewing filth!"
Cheng Ai slowly walked past him, grabbed Qi Xingyue by the neck, and slowly raised her eyes, revealing a delicate face that caused everyone to gasp in surprise:
"Holy crap! It's Goddess Ai! Is she filming a movie too?"
"An artist from Shengding International stealing clothes? That's the funniest joke I've heard all year!"
"When Sister Ai broke the Rubik's Cube with her bare hands, hugged Zhong Zheyi, and saved Shu Tian in 'Dare to Fight,' I thought it was just for the show. I never expected it to be real!"
Cheng Ai tightened her grip slightly, a nonchalant smile playing on her lips as she asked in a sinister tone, "Have you considered the consequences of framing me?"
Qi Xingyue was already terrified. She opened her mouth, but fear and the feeling of suffocation prevented her from uttering a single word.
My head was spinning, but I gritted my teeth and persevered.
Why? Why is Cheng Ai here?
Damn it, I regret it so much! Of all people to mess with, why did I have to offend this scourge?
Cheng Ai narrowed her eyes, slapped Qi Xingyue twice, and faced the onlookers with a cold and serious expression, "You're all getting on in years, how come you have no ability to distinguish right from wrong?"
Looking at the two staff members at the entrance of the lounge, he asked casually, "When you went in to arrest me just now, did you notice the banknotes scattered on the table and the floor?"
After the other party nodded in unison, she pushed Qi Xingyue aside and calmly dusted off her sleeves. "It's not hard to deduce that it was thrown by someone, is it?"
Having received confirmation once again, Cheng Ai extended a slender finger and sneered, "First point of doubt: Qi Xingyue said she gave us the money, so why didn't she hand it to us respectfully and tremblingly, but instead scattered it around so carelessly?"
Before anyone could raise any questions, she shrugged and scoffed, "I know you're all thinking we scattered it. What, is Qi Xingyue brainless, and are you brainless too? She stood outside shouting for so long, and instead of running away, we threw away the money we just got. Are we stupid?"
Cheng Ai extended another slender finger and continued, "Second point of doubt: Qi Xingyue, as the victim, actually screamed and didn't run away. I'm puzzled as to why she wasn't afraid of being silenced. After all, everyone has witnessed my strength. Killing her would be a piece of cake!"
In an instant, a chorus of voices arose:
"Why frame Sister Ai? Are you just bored?"
"She's really popular lately, constantly topping the trending searches. It's either stealing other people's opportunities or taking their roles, or it's about sleeping with them. It's disgusting!"
"The director is brilliant to have a cancer on the entertainment industry act in a movie!"
Qi Xingyue, who had fallen to the ground, tried to explain, but Cheng Ai had already extended her third slender finger.
But before she could speak, a deep, angry voice suddenly rang out, "One last point of doubt: Shengding International takes care of the artists' food, clothing, and accommodation, but this is the first time I've heard of them also taking care of their assistants' clothing. Ms. Qi, did Yuedong Entertainment also buy expensive outfits for your ten special assistants?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall man walking closer. He had handsome features and a sharp black suit that made him look even more aloof.
After finishing filming and changing his clothes, Ye Jingke rushed to the dressing room and found that there were many people around. He also saw Cheng Ai choking Qi Xingyue. So he stood at the back and asked someone about the situation, waiting for the right time to make his appearance.
When Cheng Ai saw it was him, her eyebrows and eyes softened instantly, her lips slightly raised, and her imposing manner diminished.
People spontaneously made way for him. Ye Jingke scanned the entire scene, glanced at Jin Manman as he passed by, and then stood steadily next to Cheng Ai.
Turning around, her gaze fell on the man's face, who was clenching his fists and gritting his teeth in pain. She spoke coldly, "What kind of real news can a reporter who is so easily deceived by appearances report?"
He paused for a moment, turned his head to look at a staff member, and ordered in a deep voice, "Go and call the director over, and have him handle the emergency."
The man understood immediately and went to do it.
The director had just come out of the studio and was still puzzled by the deserted set when he was pulled into the crowd.
He learned what had happened on the way, and upon arrival, he immediately sent someone to take the injured man to the hospital. At the same time, he bowed and apologized to Ye Jingke, saying, "Teacher Ye, I'm so sorry. It was a mistake by the crew management. Paparazzi accidentally sneaked in. Don't worry, I promise to investigate this matter thoroughly and punish them severely!"
Actually, these media outlets were deliberately invited by the director. This film was not anticipated by the outside world from the moment it was scheduled for release. Not only were the male and female leads both newcomers, but the budget was also extremely small.
One day, while drinking, he sent an email to the official email address of Shengding International, hoping to invite Ye Yingdi to play the male lead. Since he was not going to get a response anyway, he figured he might as well give it a try.
Unexpectedly, good fortune struck that very night. Bai Jing personally contacted him to arrange a time and place to meet and discuss his fee. Even after returning home, he was still in a state of excitement.
