Chapter 964: Leave Her Alone

Mo Tingshen applied force with his foot, rendering the third male lead speechless from pain.

The Director hurried over, and upon witnessing this scene, was almost scared out of his wits.

Heads peeked out from various rooms, and the corridor seemed to have only two people, but was actually crowded with onlookers.

Their faces didn’t look good, filled with fear and cowardice, sneakily glancing over.

The Director shooed them back into their rooms, then walked closer.

Seeing the third male lead looking like a plucked chicken, understood what was going on, and instantly felt his wailing wasn’t very pitiable.

“President Mo, why don’t I just replace him, it’s still doable.”

He might not remember others’ rooms, but Chu Yao’s room was very clear in his mind.

Especially since Chu Yao was Mo Tingshen’s precious treasure.

Not many in the industry knew about this.

Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, only to be caught by Mo Tingshen, was purely courting disaster.

The Director was also aware that there was no room for plea, so he decisively closed the matter.

The third male lead was panicked upon hearing this, forgetting about the pain, pleading with a pale face: “Don’t… don’t replace me, I promise I’ll be honest in the crew from now on, stay far away from Chu Yao, and besides, two-thirds of my scenes are shot already, replacing me now… would cause huge losses, no, no need for the crew to waste money because of me…”

The Director indeed felt reluctant.

The third male lead wasn’t of low status, always had the title of a prospective breakout star in the industry, his pay was close to top stars, yet this fame had lingered around him for several years without exploding, but was now close to exploding negatively.

Money was secondary, mainly because his scenes were almost finished, replacing him now would mean reshooting interactions with other actors, unilateral termination would cost the crew three times his pay.

It was indeed a dilemma.

But nothing was harder than offending Mo Tingshen.

The Director gritted his teeth, “Loss is loss, it’s still possible before finishing the shoot.”

“Director!”

The third male lead anxiously sought to plead for himself.

As he was racking his brains for words, a deep, cold voice suddenly descended from above: “That’s unnecessary.”

Mo Tingshen clicked his tongue against his palate, “Shoot your scenes, don’t bother her.”

The Director almost immediately understood referring to Chu Yao.

Realizing it, he thanked and apologized repeatedly, escorting Mo Tingshen to the elevator.

The Director walked back, glaring at the third male lead, “Do you know what trouble you’ve gotten into, you think Chu Yao has kept a clean reputation in the industry for so many years merely by her own ability?”

The third male lead was taken aback, “President Mo really is her sponsor?”

“What sponsor!” the Director snapped, “Mind your mouth, your leg almost got crippled, you want to lose your life too?”

The third male lead shivered but tried to be stubborn: “It can’t be, he can even harm lives?

Is there no law?”

The Director sneered: “That’s because you haven’t seen how terrifying Mo Tingshen can be.”

The third male lead believed this in his heart, but he had lost face, he still had scenes tomorrow, and he was of considerable status, being humiliated publicly left him unable to swallow his pride.

“I-I want to sue, he intentionally harmed me, no, I want to accuse him of attempted murder, call my agent, I-I want to find a lawyer!”

The Director coldly watched him make a fuss, clearly seeing the fear on his face.

It’s nothing more than a bluff.

“Try it, do whatever you want, but let me warn you, be honest, finish shooting this film, and meanwhile, start thinking about your future.”
