Shen Ye and Cai Zhiwei had been in contact and knew that Cai Zhiwei had joined a film crew during the summer break.
It was said to be a very high-profile movie, with the female lead and male lead being internationally renowned award-winning actors, and even the supporting roles were played by veteran actors. The director was also a big name, and the investors were wealthy.
Cai Zhiwei played the fifth male character in the film. Being able to join such a prestigious crew was already a good opportunity, even if it was just a minor role. Moreover, his character had lines and details, so Cai Zhiwei was very happy. He had been excitedly discussing it with Shen Ye, saying that he would definitely improve his acting skills under the guidance of the director and veteran actors.
When Shen Ye heard Cai Zhiwei’s plea for help, he was somewhat surprised and quickly called him.
After about half a minute, Cai Zhiwei finally answered the call with a particularly anxious tone. “I’m sorry, Xiao Ye. Something happened just now… but it’s not about me, it’s about Zhang Weiwei, the female lead… I can’t explain it clearly. I don’t know if you have time, can you come and help?” He paused for a moment, lowered his voice, and said, “I feel that something is strange. Zhang Weiwei has been acting very weird since the day before yesterday… as if she’s been possessed…”
Shen Ye thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll leave for your place right now.”
Haicheng was not particularly far from the film studio, only a three-hour drive. Since Ye Ze was not at home and Shen Ye had nothing to do, he decided to go and take a look.
Cai Zhiwei was overjoyed and let out a long sigh of relief. “It’s great that you can come! Xiao Ye, thank you!”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Ye told Xu Sisi about the matter.
Xu Sisi put down her work and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Shen Ye smiled and shook his head. “I’m planning to bring two disciples with me. You stay here. Grandpa and Grandma are at home, and I feel reassured with you here.”
AD
During this period, Mr. Wang had been helping out at Rongyuan during the day, dealing with some miscellaneous matters, including matters related to Ye Ze and Shen Ye’s foundation.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sisi nodded. “Alright, you guys go. I’ll stay at home.”
Soon, Shen Ye set off with Xu Ce and Mr. Wang.
Xu Ce had worked with Zhang Weiwei a few times before, so when he heard that something had happened to her, he was surprised. “She’s a capable person, I don’t think anyone would dare to harm her… Could there be a problem with the crew?”
Zhang Weiwei’s fame was similar to Yang Yuhang’s, even stronger than Ning Shihua’s. She had long since gone solo and was rumored to have a strong background.
Shen Ye shrugged. “I haven’t carefully observed her face yet.”
Mr. Wang quickly found a photo of Zhang Weiwei and handed it to Shen Ye. “Master, take a look.”
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Ye turned to look at him. “…Second disciple, you seem to understand physiognomy quite well now.”
AD
Mr. Wang shyly smiled. “Master, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it before. I was just being stubborn with myself…”
During the previous period, he had been pretending to be calm, but in reality, he hadn’t fully recovered from the shadow of his failed relationship.
Later, when Shen Ye took him to the imperial capital, he witnessed a lot and saw how affectionate his master and master’s wife were. He also saw the harmony between Shen Shimu and Zong Yiming. Gradually, he began to understand that when it came to relationships, one had to find the right person.
Shen Ye smiled and said, “It’s good that you’ve realized it.”
Mr. Wang felt even more embarrassed. His master was younger than him, yet he still made his master worry and had to be comforted by his master.
Shen Ye turned to look at him. “Your senior brother did most of the work before. Now it’s your turn. You have to work hard.”
“Okay!” Chairman Wang was full of enthusiasm and immediately took on the role of a disciple. Pointing at the photo on his phone, he said, “This is Zhang Weiwei’s recent appearance. I got it from a friend. You should be able to see her face more clearly.”
Shen Ye praised him, “Well done.”
He took the phone and stared at Zhang Weiwei’s face, lost in thought.
Xu Ce and Chairman Wang were both curious about what was going on, but unfortunately, Shen Ye didn’t show any intention to speak. After looking at the photo, he returned the phone to Mr. Wang and closed his eyes to rest.
AD
Three hours later, the car arrived at the film studio.
Cai Zhiwei had been waiting at the gate. “Xiao Ye, please personally come over… I told the director that you’re coming, and he’s very excited. Everyone is waiting for you in the studio.”
Originally, because of Zhang Weiwei’s incident, the director gave everyone half a day off. However, upon hearing that Shen Ye was coming, including the male lead and several veteran actors, they were all curious and waiting in the studio, wanting to witness Shen Ye’s skills for themselves.
As for Zhang Weiwei, she suddenly went crazy before and was taken to the dressing room to rest by her manager and assistant.
Zhang Weiwei still hasn’t recovered until now. There are many crews in the film studio, and there are also many artists, media, and fans. The manager was afraid of being noticed for any abnormalities, so they haven’t let Zhang Weiwei return to the hotel. They were waiting for her to regain some clarity before taking her directly to the imperial capital for treatment.
Cai Zhiwei led Shen Ye into the studio, and the director immediately greeted them, saying, “Master Shen, you’re here.”
The director was quite old and respected in the industry, and his reputation was good. At this moment, he showed great respect for Shen Ye.
Probably because people in the industry believed in such things, everyone held a deep reverence for Master Shen.
Shen Ye greeted the director and said, “Let’s go and see Zhang Weiwei, the leading actress.”
The director quickly responded, “Okay!”
Before Zhang Weiwei had an incident, the director had already asked the staff to leave. Only a few main actors remained on the set, so it was quite quiet.
Guided by the director, Shen Ye walked with everyone to the rest area.
During the journey, the director chatted with Xu Ce. They were old friends, and Xu Ce had worked with the director several times, so they were familiar with each other.
When they reached the rest area, the director knocked on the door, and Zhang Weiwei’s assistant opened it.
Zhang Weiwei was lying on the sofa, seemingly asleep.
AD
The moment the manager saw Shen Ye, her expression changed.
“You…,” the manager hesitated for a few seconds and said, “My Weiwei is just exhausted…”
The director interrupted her, saying, “Master Shen is here, so let him have a look. This is my set, and if anything happens to Weiwei, I won’t be able to explain it to the public.”
The manager seemed to have reservations and blocked everyone from seeing Zhang Weiwei.
Shen Ye glanced at her indifferently and said, “I have already seen her photos before coming here and know what happened to her. If you don’t want her to die, step aside. To be honest, if Cai Zhiwei hadn’t invited me, I wouldn’t have bothered with her at all!”
The manager’s face changed slightly.
The director immediately said, “Don’t be confused. If something happens to Weiwei, you won’t be able to escape either.”
The manager’s eyes flickered for a moment, and after a long time, she finally compromised and said to the director, “Please ask others to leave.”
She didn’t want the specific situation of Zhang Weiwei to be known by outsiders, to avoid it spreading to the paparazzi and causing a public spectacle.
The director assured her, “Everyone here is trustworthy. Don’t worry, I promise it won’t be leaked.”
After hesitating for a moment, the manager made way.
“Two days ago, didn’t her boyfriend come?” Shen Ye glanced at Zhang Weiwei briefly and turned to the manager to ask.
The manager nodded.
Zhang Weiwei had a boyfriend whom she had been in a relationship with for more than ten years. It was not a secret in the industry, so the manager didn’t hide it.
Shen Ye made an understanding sound and said, “Zhang Weiwei was poisoned, and her boyfriend was the one who poisoned her.”
Everyone was stunned.
The manager widened her eyes and blurted out, “That’s impossible! Their relationship has always been good. Mr. Han wouldn’t have any reason to poison Weiwei!”
“Let me rephrase it then. Her boyfriend didn’t intend to poison her; he intended to drug her. However, he was deceived by someone, and it wasn’t a drug but simply poisonous mushrooms.” Shen Ye glanced at the manager and continued, “You should be familiar with poisonous mushrooms, right? They are quite famous online, causing hallucinations when consumed. These past few days, Zhang Weiwei suddenly had an incident. Did you think she went crazy? Actually, it’s because she mistook the poisonous mushrooms for medicinal herbs.”
… Zhang Weiwei went crazy these past few days because she ate poisonous mushrooms?
Everyone: “…”
The manager also had a stunned expression and remained silent for a while.
Shen Ye continued, “Didn’t her episodes occur after breakfast, lunch, or dinner? It’s because she had just taken the medicinal herb made from the poisonous mushrooms.”
Everyone carefully recalled, and indeed, those three episodes happened after those meal times.
“Yes, Zhang Weiwei had her first episode at night the day before yesterday, at noon yesterday, and this morning,” Cai Zhiwei clapped his hands. “Little Ye, your calculations are spot on!”
Ignoring Cai Zhiwei’s adoring gaze, Shen Ye looked at Zhang Weiwei’s manager and said, “Think again. When Zhang Weiwei had her first episode, didn’t you talk to Mr. Han on the phone? Mr. Han asked the doctor to examine Zhang Weiwei, and everything was normal, right?”
The manager nodded, then widened her eyes. “…Mr. Han was lying?”
Shen Ye replied, “Mr. Han thought it was the effect of a Gu, but Gu wouldn’t harm the organs. He must have thought Zhang Weiwei was physically healthy.”
The manager was shocked and muttered, “No wonder the doctors couldn’t find any issues… I kept saying that Weiwei had multiple episodes, but Mr. Han didn’t seem concerned at all…”
Shen Ye asked, “He’s on his way here now, right?”
The manager paused for a moment, then walked quickly to Shen Ye and looked at him excitedly. “Master Shen, you’re truly amazing. You’ve figured everything out… Please help Weiwei, please. I can’t let anything happen to her…”
Her expression twisted a bit, and Shen Ye quickly took two steps back. “She’s not in any serious danger. You can take her to get her stomach pumped later.”
The manager looked puzzled. “…That’s it?”
Shen Ye explained, “She didn’t consume a large dosage. She’ll be fine.”
The manager breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good.”
Shen Ye glanced at her and said, “However, I advise you to meet Mr. Han first. If he doesn’t give up and continues to use Gu on Zhang Weiwei, she won’t be able to escape next time either.”
The manager stood there in a daze.
Shen Ye continued, “Actually, you should have a talk with Zhang Weiwei. As her manager, you’ve been with her for over ten years. You should know about her actions, and you should also know that she brought this upon herself. Although Mr. Han is at fault for using Gu on her, ultimately it’s Zhang Weiwei’s own doing. She deserves the consequences.”
As a cultivator, Shen Ye emphasized cause and effect. While it was true that Mr. Han using Gu on someone was not a good thing, the root cause was Zhang Weiwei. In Shen Ye’s eyes, she was the one who made the bigger mistake.
The director and the others listened to Shen Ye’s words, exchanged glances, and had a somewhat enlightened look in their eyes.
They had heard about Zhang Weiwei and Mr. Han’s story and could guess what Shen Ye was talking about.
Only Cai Zhiwei looked puzzled.
As a newcomer in the entertainment industry, he hadn’t yet integrated himself into the circle of top actors and actresses and was unaware of the gossip surrounding Zhang Weiwei.
Shen Ye looked at the manager and said, “Cai Zhiwei and I will go have lunch first. If you need help, contact Cai Zhiwei, and I’ll come over in the afternoon.”
The manager was already convinced by Shen Ye at this point and naturally wouldn’t refuse his help.
She thanked Shen Ye and said with concern, “Master Shen, I know Weiwei can be willful… but she hasn’t done anything terribly wrong. I hope you can help her…”
Shen Ye interrupted her, “Let me wake up Zhang Weiwei first. Mr. Han will arrive soon. You think about how to appease him.”
After saying that, he turned and walked away with Xu Ce and the others.
The director and the others quickly followed and exited the room.
Watching them leave, Zhang Weiwei’s face turned pale, and she tightly grasped her manager’s hand. “I…”
The manager patted her hand. “Weiwei, Mr. Han has been infatuated with you for over ten years. Think carefully about whether you want to continue playing both sides or settle down with Mr. Han…”
She paused and told Zhang Weiwei about what Shen Ye had just said regarding Mr. Han using Gu on her.
“Mr. Han must have been desperate; otherwise, he wouldn’t resort to doing this,” the manager said, holding onto Zhang Weiwei’s wrist. She spoke with sincerity, “You should really think it through!”
However, Zhang Weiwei’s focus was not on that. As soon as she heard that Mr. Han used Gu on her, leading to her being poisoned by mushrooms, she exploded, “Is he insane? How could he treat me like this!”
Manager: “…Now is not the time to blame him. You’ve cheated on him countless times over the past decade, and he forgave you… If he’s completely heartbroken because of you, he might really sever ties with you, and you’ll have a time crying!”
Before Zhang Weiwei became famous, Mr. Han was already infatuated with her. After they started dating, Mr. Han went to great lengths to promote Zhang Weiwei’s career and helped her become a top actress.
Mr. Han has proposed to Zhang Weiwei numerous times, but she refused to marry him. Not only that, she continued to have relationships with various men while stringing Mr. Han along, leading a chaotic nightlife.
This time, she got involved with another influential heir and was considering breaking up with Mr. Han.
Mr. Han must have heard about this and decided to use Gu on Zhang Weiwei…
To put it bluntly, the harm Zhang Weiwei has caused Mr. Han over the past decade can be described as utterly heartless.
The manager had advised her before, asking her not to be so promiscuous. If she couldn’t control herself or didn’t want to be with Mr. Han anymore, she could break up with him and go wild.
However, Zhang Weiwei couldn’t bear to give up the wealth and status Mr. Han provided, so she continued to string him along.
While the manager was trying to persuade Zhang Weiwei, Shen Ye and the others had already reached the entrance of the filming location.
Coincidentally, Mr. Han was approaching with his entourage.
He also knew Shen Ye and greeted him immediately, “Master Shen.”
Shen Ye nodded in acknowledgment and discreetly observed him.
Mr. Han fell in love with Zhang Weiwei when he was in his twenties. Now, over a decade later, he was in his forties but still maintained his suave appearance.
Shen Ye clicked his tongue. “Quite handsome. But compared to my man, you’re far behind. I’m sure my man looks better than you at this age.”
Mr. Han: “…”
He was well aware that Shen Ye’s partner was the head of the Ye family. He smiled and agreed, “How could I dare to compare myself to Mr. Ye.”
Although he smiled, Mr. Han’s anxious expression betrayed his worry for Zhang Weiwei. Shen Ye couldn’t help but shake his head and said, “I’ll give you some advice: Let go when it’s time to let go.”
Mr. Han was momentarily stunned.
“Oh, by the way, the expert you hired is unreliable. That wasn’t powder made from Gu insects; it was a type of poisonous mushroom. Zhang Weiwei was poisoned by the mushroom,” Shen Ye reminded him.
Mr. Han’s heart tightened. “I made a mistake… Is Weiwei okay?”
Shen Ye couldn’t help but click his tongue again. Even at this moment, Mr. Han still cared so much about Zhang Weiwei. It seemed he couldn’t let go.
Speaking of which, these two have been entangled for over a decade, and Mr. Han has endured Zhang Weiwei’s betrayals time and time again. It’s truly rare.
But it takes two to tango, and outsiders can’t say much about it.
Moreover, it’s evident that Mr. Han has reached his limit; otherwise, he wouldn’t have resorted to using Gu on Zhang Weiwei…
Shen Ye shrugged. These two still have a long way to go.
Shen Ye and Cai Zhiwei had been in contact and knew that Cai Zhiwei had joined a film crew during the summer break.
It was said to be a very high-profile movie, with the female lead and male lead being internationally renowned award-winning actors, and even the supporting roles were played by veteran actors. The director was also a big name, and the investors were wealthy.
