After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Suffering in One’s Stead. Relentless Pursuit. Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Suffering in One’s Stead. Relentless Pursuit. On the second day of filming, some actors had already stopped to have lunch, but Shen Yan was delayed because of the last scene.

Xiao Zhao brought two lunch boxes for them and placed them at their designated chairs before turning to watch Shen Yan shoot the final scene.

When she returned to the spot, Xiao Zhao looked at the two lunch boxes she had put down and paused, sensing something wasn’t quite right.

“Yanyan, I got you some soup!”

Xiao Zhao pushed the bowl of soup towards Shen Yan, who saw a layer of oil floating on top and felt it was a bit greasy, “I’ll just drink water, you have the soup.”

“But this is a nutritious soup, you work so hard filming, you need to replenish your nutrients.”

“I’ll replenish tomorrow.”

Xiao Zhao: “…”

Looking at the hard-won nutritious soup, Xiao Zhao couldn’t bear to waste it, so she started drinking it.

The taste was a bit strange.

Xiao Zhao took a few more sips and still found the taste off.

“Why does today’s soup have a weird taste?” Xiao Zhao could only drink half before she felt like vomiting.

Shen Yan paused in eating upon hearing this.

“Ugh!”

Xiao Zhao’s face changed, and she vomited on the spot.

“Xiao Zhao.”

Shen Yan reached out to pat her back.

Xiao Zhao vomited some water, then clutched her stomach, too uncomfortable to speak.

Seeing her pale face, Shen Yan’s expression turned cold, she grabbed the unfinished soup and sniffed it, and her face darkened further.

Xiao Zhao was in so much pain that she almost fainted.

Shen Yan picked up a bag, packed the remaining soup, and scooped up Xiao Zhao with one arm.

Everyone noticed the commotion and came over to ask what was happening.

Seeing Shen Yan hoisting Xiao Zhao onto her shoulder and running towards the car, everyone was stunned.

“What happened?”

“Director Chen, Shen Yan’s assistant ate something bad; she must go to the hospital immediately.”

“It seems like someone put something in the soup, which was originally meant for Shen Yan to drink, but Shen Yan didn’t have any, and the assistant suffered instead.”

“No one knows what it was. Looking at how much pain Shen Yan’s assistant is in, it’s definitely not simple.”

Director Chen listened as everyone chimed in, his face growing extremely displeased.

Which bastard had brought trouble to his film crew?

“Check immediately who prepared the soup today and who handled it…”

Director Chen couldn’t be bothered with anything else at the moment, he had to first identify the risks before he could peacefully continue filming. He also sent someone to follow Shen Yan to the hospital to report back to him with any updates.

Shen Yan’s car sped off, with Director Chen’s assistant on board, holding onto Xiao Zhao while fighting off dizziness.

He wanted to ask Shen Yan to slow down, but seeing Xiao Zhao’s ghastly pale face, he swallowed his words.

Xiao Zhao was taken straight to the hospital for stomach pumping.

It was a painful process.

Shen Yan handed over the leftover soup to the hospital for testing. The doctor gave the results to Director Chen’s assistant with a grim tone, “Aren’t you guys taking this a little too far? A step later, and it would have been a death.”

The assistant’s face turned ashen.

Upon seeing the name of the substance detected, his expression shifted again.

“This kind of disinfectant tablet is poisonous on its own, and you added so much to the soup. A slightly weaker body would immediately sound the alarm. It’s only because you brought her in time that you saved a life.”

The doctor thought they were playing some kind of game that had led to this, like a drinking game where the loser has to drink hard liquor.

The doctor was no stranger to such incidents.

Shen Yan’s face remained grim.

The assistant got the medicine for Xiao Zhao and came out with Shen Yan, saying with a distressed look, “The crew will get to the bottom of this, and we will assign someone to take care of your assistant. You should go back to the crew first.”

Shen Yan visited Xiao Zhao before leaving.

After receiving the assistant’s call, Director Chen was relieved to hear that Xiao Zhao was out of danger.

It was the first time Director Chen encountered such a disgraceful act of drugging within his crew, and he was livid.

Following Xiao Zhao’s incident, everyone began to distrust the food provided by the crew.

They ate their dinner with a sense of unease.

Fearing she’d be the next Xiao Zhao,

Shen Yan returned to the crew as night fell.

The atmosphere on set was somber; Shen Yan met with Director Chen to discuss the situation.

“Shen Yan, we’ve arranged for someone to watch over your assistant, no need to worry. We’re also investigating the person behind this,” Director Chen said, his face growing increasingly grim.

“Hmm.”

Shen Yan nodded expressionlessly.

The set was eerily quiet after nightfall.

“Bang!”

A muffled groan echoed from a desolate path nearby.

A man was fiercely pinned to the muddy ground, his chest compressed by the foot on top of him, preventing him from making a sound.

Shen Yan coldly ground her heel into the man forced down on the ground, “Who told you to do this?”

“Cough…”

The man struggled to breathe.

Just when he felt he was about to suffocate, Shen Yan eased the pressure slightly.

Gasping for air, he managed, “That person contacted me via cell phone… I don’t know who it is. They prepared the drugs, too.”

“Smack!”

Shen Yan knocked him out with a kick.

Bending over, she searched the man and unlocked his phone with his fingerprint.

After scrolling through, she found the contact.

Transferring it to her own phone, Shen Yan gave the unconscious man another swift kick.

*

The next day, a police car came to take away the man Shen Yan had kicked the night before.

As he was taken away, Shen Yan watched him silently.

His eyes darted about nervously.

Receiving Shen Yan’s silent warning, he didn’t dare divulge the events of the previous night.

Shen Yan had already traced the culprit’s IP.

Mountain City!

Her grip on the phone whitened.

A little more force and she could crush it.

“Now that the culprit is caught, everyone can rest easy.”

Li Yanbai had not expected the attacker to be after Shen Yan’s life.

He looked concernedly at Shen Yan’s resolute face, “Are you alright?”

Shen Yan shook her head, “I am fine.”

“But you don’t look too good,” Li Yanbai frowned, “The attacker was so vicious. If you had consumed that soup, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Shen Yan’s grip tightened, “Not much better now.”

Xiao Zhao had nearly lost her life over this.

The hospital found the substance to be disinfectant tablets, but she knew it was likely laced with something else.

After so much time, Jian Yu had already uncovered her identity in the entertainment industry.

Being a public figure, there were too many opportunities to strike.

Shen Yan pursed her lips, soothing her emotions and continued with the shooting.

Seeing Shen Yan like this, Li Yanbai grew even more worried.

During the subsequent shooting, the mood on set was subdued, and coupled with the already heavy script, everyone felt downcast.

Shen Yan, aside from acting diligently, also kept a close watch on Xiao Zhao’s condition.

Xiao Zhao woke up from the danger and clamored to return, but Director Chen’s assistant forcefully kept her from leaving.

Shen Yan had not allowed the incidents on set to be disclosed to Liu Su.

The mobile IP Shen Yan had discovered was already a discarded card.

The culprit was skilled at such deeds.

Upon finding Mountain City, Shen Yan suddenly felt the urge to laugh.

Even after she became Shen Yan, they still wouldn’t let her go.

Would their relentless pursuit not fear her counterattack?
