The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 112 The Mysterious Man

"The male protagonist's ex-wife who died young?"

Chu Xinglan suppressed a laugh, not expecting Director Huang to be so witty and humorous.

"Although this role isn't large, it's crucial throughout the entire series. Will you take it?" Director Huang asked.

"I'll take it, of course I'll take it," Chu Xinglan hurriedly replied, and thanked Director Huang again for giving her this opportunity.

Director Huang went back to his work, and Chu Xinglan looked at the stunt double and walked over to him.

"Hello, senior, I am Chu Xinglan." Chu Xinglan extended her hand to introduce herself.

The other person looked up, glanced at Chu Xinglan, then at her hand, and turned their face away, pretending not to see.

Chu Xinglan didn't mind and sat down next to him without a care.

"I heard from the people here that your name is Lu Yuan?"

The other party still did not answer her.

"That's right, senior. I'll be playing your ex-wife next, so I want to build up our relationship first!"

"I'm only responsible for action scenes, not romance. If you want romance, go find the male lead."

He glanced at Chu Xinglan indifferently.

"I want to do every detail well, so since you're a stand-in, I also hope to portray a deeply moving and tragic love story with you," Chu Xinglan said with a smile.

The fact that the male protagonist's ex-wife is constantly being chased by him is a classic example of a tragic love story!

Lu Yuan glanced at Chu Xinglan again.

The innocent smile on her face gave him the illusion that this girl was not the same person as the girl who had given him a hateful look earlier. Although acting out a variety of emotions is a basic skill for actors, her acting was just too realistic.

"up to you."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he stood up. It was his turn to go on stage again. Whenever it was time for an important action scene, he would go on stage, while the male actors would rest backstage like stars around the moon.

Chu Xinglan wasn't interested in the male actor; she only glanced at him casually before turning her gaze back to Lu Yuan. She noticed the wires suspending him and a terrifying thought suddenly popped into her head.

Filming martial arts movies must be prone to accidents, right? Especially with wire work, it's not 100% safe.

In his past life, he hurt her and caused her to lose her child. Even if he died in a safety accident, it was his just deserts!

Chu Xinglan thought fiercely, recalling her past life's experiences. She clenched her hands tightly, wishing she could eat its flesh, drink its blood, smash its bones, suck its marrow, sleep on its skin, and pluck its hair!

"Stagehand, come here for a moment."

After wrapping up, Director Huang called over the production assistant.

"What's wrong, Director?"

"Keep everything here, especially this wire harness; there's a fight scene tomorrow," Director Huang instructed.

"Okay, director."

Chu Xinglan overheard the conversation between Director Huang and the stagehand, glanced at the crane, and a fierce determination rose within her.

When night fell and all was quiet, Chu Xinglan secretly went to the filming location. She took a wrench and went to the crane.

She wanted to loosen the screws on top and create an accident to send Lu Yuan to his death.

Although she had never killed anyone, not even an ant, in either her past or present life, she now had to harden her heart and kill someone. Thinking of her tragic experiences in her past life, she felt an itch of hatred all over her body. In this life, she was not a person, but a ghost that had crawled back from hell. If she could not avenge herself, there would be no point in her being reborn.

With that in mind, Chu Xinglan did not hesitate and carefully climbed onto the crane.

Just as she was climbing onto the crane, a man emerged from the darkness—a man dressed in black and wearing a mask—and quietly approached Chu Xinglan.

Chu Xinglan took out the wrench in her hand and began to tighten the screws.

After all, the crane was too high, and her position wasn't good. Chu Xinglan tried her best, but she still couldn't loosen the screw.

In order to achieve her goal, Chu Xinglan had no choice but to go all out and continue climbing. Finally, she sat on the highest point of the crane and tried again. This time, she actually managed to turn it.

"Great!" Chu Xinglan was so happy that her hand slipped and the wrench fell to the ground with a clatter.

Chu Xinglan was startled, and at the same time, the sound of a wrench hitting a piece of iron alerted the guard.

"who?"

Chu Xinglan was startled again, and in her tension, she involuntarily fell off the crane.

"Oops!"

Chu Xinglan inwardly cried out in alarm. She instinctively covered her stomach with her hand; if she fell like this, she would lose not only her baby but also her unborn child.

She was also startled when she saw the baby in the light.

"Baby, I can't lose you!"

Chu Xinglan thought to herself in despair.

With a thud, Chu Xinglan fell to the ground.

But she didn't experience the pain she had imagined. In fact, she felt quite comfortable, with her lower body feeling soft and completely unharmed.

Chu Xinglan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw that she was being held in the arms of a person dressed in black and wearing a black mask.

Did he catch her? Did he save himself?

As Chu Xinglan was thinking to himself, he suddenly pulled her into a narrow corner.

"Strange, I clearly heard a sound, but why is no one here? Maybe I'm just imagining things. These are all worthless items; who would come here to steal them?"

The guard waved his flashlight around, but saw nothing.

Chu Xinglan and the other person were facing each other, their bodies close together. Her chest heaved with nervousness, but because they were so close, their chests rubbed against each other.

Chu Xinglan's face inexplicably turned red. Fortunately, it was dark here, so the other person couldn't see her expression at all. However, she couldn't see the other person's face either, but his breathing was very steady and even, completely different from her nervousness.

Chu Xinglan was grateful to him for saving her, so she didn't blame him for taking advantage of her. Besides, to avoid any trouble, they were hiding here, so physical contact was unavoidable. Chu Xinglan gradually calmed herself down.

Only after the guard left did she hurriedly get out of his arms.

"Thank you for saving me just now," Chu Xinglan apologized to the other party.

Even by the moonlight, she still couldn't see his face clearly. She only knew that he was very tall, at least 1.9 meters, and had a good build. His face was completely covered by a black mask, and he was dressed in all black, making him look exceptionally mysterious.

He remained silent in response to Chu Xinglan's thanks.

"You... how did you get here?" Chu Xinglan asked curiously. She had come here to do bad things and harm people, but this person... could it be that he, like her, disliked someone and wanted to kill him?

Chu Xinglan thought jokingly.

However, she would never admit that she came to harm people, as this is, after all, a criminal act.

She looked at the crane, realizing that going up to tighten the screws would be difficult, especially since she didn't know where her wrench had fallen.

"I'm not doing anything bad, I'm just curious to take a look around." Chu Xinglan suddenly wanted to slap herself. Wasn't this just admitting defeat?
