Chapter 17: The Lurk Crew Gets Ambushed

While Beside Qi Hui Hui subdued Ji Shiguang, three cameramen came sprinting with their cameras.

They zoomed in for a close-up of Ji Shiguang being restrained.

How could director Jiang Wei let such excellent promotional material slip away?

Beside Qi Hui Hui pulled out his belt, tied Ji Shiguang's hands behind his back, and secured them tightly.

Seeing this, Ling Xiaosu and Zhang Ruoyun finally stood up, but still held Ji Shiguang tightly.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"What's going on here?"

"This scene isn't in the script!"

"Is this a fight?"

A huge crowd of actors and extras murmured and started to crowd forward.

With such a big commotion, who wouldn't want to take a look?

"Everyone stop." At that moment, a voice came; director Jiang Wei walked over with a stern face: "Don't go over there."

Feng Enhe adjusted his Zhongshan suit, clasped his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Director, what is going on here?"

You have to admit, wearing the Zhongshan suit, he had an extraordinary bearing.

The station master's aura suddenly surged, making people subconsciously feel awe.

Feng Enhe's words sparked questions from everyone, who all turned to look at Jiang Wei.

Especially Sun Honglei and Yao Chen; the two of them were the male and female leads.

Three cameras went into action one after another; what play was this?

How had they, the male and female leads, never heard of these people?

Jiang Wei paused slightly, then slowly said: "That fat man is a fugitive, a fugitive who has been on the run for over ten years."

Hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes. What?

A fugitive?

Hearing this, the crowd stopped crowding forward; that was a suspect, and getting involved could bring trouble.

"Zhang Guofeng is a fugitive?" Deputy Director Li stared with wide eyes: "How is that possible?"

However, before the words had finished, a series of urgent siren sounds came.

Beep-boop-beep-boop~~~

Flashing red and blue police lights lit up outside the filming set; immediately, a huge group of heavily armed special police officers got out of their vehicles and rushed over in a swarm.

They held rifles and riot forks in their hands, and a few special police officers even jumped onto the car roofs, setting up sniper rifles.

This display was quite large; everyone was stunned, as if filming an American blockbuster.

The entire "Lurk" film crew fell silent as if frozen, daring not to speak.

At the same time, paparazzi near Hengdian smelled something unusual and also came rushing over crazily.

Of course, they dared not approach, only filming videos and taking photos from a distance.

The gaze of the many special police officers immediately locked onto Beside Qi Hui Hui; after all, he was holding a rifle with a bayonet attached.

Of course, before arriving, the special police officers knew this was a film and television base with filming props, and they also knew the fugitive's physical features, so they would not act rashly.

Otherwise... they wouldn't fire live rounds directly, but plastic bullets, rubber bullets, or non-lethal weapons like riot guns would be used immediately.

Facing so many bloodthirsty gazes, Beside Qi Hui Hui felt immense pressure.

He loosened his grip and dropped the Zhongshi rifle he was holding.

"Who is the person who discovered the suspect?" A man in a duty uniform, seemingly the captain, stepped forward and asked.

"It was me," Beside Qi Hui Hui said.

The captain looked at Ji Shiguang, who was tied up and being held, and asked: "You subdued the suspect?"

Before coming, he had seen the fugitive's file; although he had gotten fat and old, the similar facial features were still visible.

"The situation was urgent; he was trying to run," Beside Qi Hui Hui explained; the three of them had no law enforcement authority and could only be considered acting out of public spirit.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades," the captain said, giving a military salute to show understanding and express gratitude.

Then he waved his hand; two special police officers wearing hoods ran over, lifted Ji Shiguang, and dragged him toward the vehicle.

Ji Shiguang's face was deathly pale, his expression numb, and his eyes vacant.

After running for so long, in the end, he still could not escape.

In front of the cameras, Beside Qi Hui Hui retrieved his belt and then, somewhat shabbily, put his belt back on.

I should have just found a rope; why use a belt...

"Comrades, I would like to invite you to come back with me to make a statement; would that be convenient?" The captain's words became increasingly polite.

"It's our duty," Beside Qi Hui Hui said.

Ling Xiaosu chuckled: "Convenient, convenient; I haven't been to a police station yet."

"Sorry to trouble you," Zhang Ruoyun said with a smile, somewhat excited.

"Please!" The captain, whose face had been stern, showed a smile and led the three of them toward the police car.

Soon, the police car withdrew its team and left with Beside Qi Hui Hui and the other two.

Watching the police car leave, the paparazzi and reporters who had rushed over upon hearing the news immediately erupted, swarming toward Jiang Wei and the cast of the "Lurk" film crew.

"Director Jiang Wei, may I ask what is going on?"

"May I ask what happened?"

"Ms. Yao Chen, the person being taken away includes your husband; may I ask if you can speak about the specific situation?"

Immediately, a huge array of long lenses and short barrels were thrust toward them.

Feng Enhe and Wu Gang exchanged a glance at the sight and silently retreated behind the crowd.

They did not like this kind of scene.

Sun Honglei and Yao Chen also kept their mouths shut, saying not a word.

If we understand nothing, what is there to say?

What if we say the wrong thing?

Just now, such a huge display, guns loaded, sniper rifles, riot shields.

If we say the wrong thing, the trouble will be no small matter!

"Fellow reporter friends, please be quiet," Director Jiang Wei shouted. "The specific situation must wait until our three heroes return before we speak."

"Of course, before that, I can briefly tell everyone what happened."

"One of our crew's actors is a fugitive; we only discovered this today, hence the scene just now."

Upon hearing this, the reporters and paparazzi instantly exploded.

Holy crap? A spy in the crew was spied on?

So explosive?

"Ahem, ahem." Director Jiang Wei coughed twice. "Regarding this matter, our crew will hold a special press conference."

"Of course, the press conference must wait until our three heroes return before we speak."

The reporters were now excited; they did not leave but squatted there waiting.

Time passed bit by bit, and public opinion fermented more and more.

Major television stations and major newspapers sent reporters, while pictures and videos of this matter spread wildly online.

The display was indeed a bit huge; so many weapons, so many special police, too eye-catching.

"Holy crap, playing this big? Could this not be fake?"

"That director said they caught a fugitive? What fugitive?"

"Any big-shot brothers out there to explain the situation?"

"Brothers, speak up quickly; a good man will be reborn in America in the next life!"

"Waiting online for the follow-up."

"Hahaha, look at the guy tying his belt."

"Such a huge event, and he is still tying his belt!"

"Eh? Who is this? Even tying his belt, he is so handsome?"

"Not bad, just a bit worse than me."

"Upstairs, doesn't it hurt to go against your conscience?"

"Brothers, look at the fish I caught, is it big? 【Grin】"

On major forums and tieba, this matter was spreading in a frenzy.

For a time, things like Zhang Ziyi's "Ink-Splashing Gate" and Liu Dehua announcing his relationship were already unimportant; where could those things compare to special police catching a fugitive for a good show?

The "Snow Leopard" crew.

Zhang Jian sat at the table playing on the computer.

Producers actually do not have much work; most matters are handled by the director; the producer only needs to grasp the big direction.

If the producer had to do everything, then what would the director do?

Zhang Jian sat before the computer, spending most of his time surfing the net.

At this moment, a message popped up:

【Shocking! A spy in the crew was spied on; a real-life blockbuster is playing out!】

Looking at this huge headline, Zhang Jian paused for a moment; it was somewhat attractive.

Immediately, he clicked the left mouse button.

The female character Xiao Ya in "Snow Leopard" was cast as Zhu Jie.

And Zhu Jie played Mu Wanqiu in "The Spy," that is, Xie Ruolin's wife.

Previously, he really could not refuse the two directors and his own son, so he reluctantly wanted to introduce Beside Qi Hui Hui to Jiang Wei.

Of course, in the end, it did not happen.

Although it was a good thing, he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

As the webpage finished loading, numerous photos appeared on the computer screen.

"Eh... is this that kid Beside Qi Hui Hui?" Zhang Jian looked at those photos; he not only saw Beside Qi Hui Hui but also saw his own son.

After briefly browsing the information above and understanding the course of events, his eyes instantly turned red:

"Damn... now "The Spy" will be popular before it even airs!"

As a veteran producer, Zhang Jian clearly understood what impact this matter would have on "The Spy."

That kid Beside Qi Hui Hui really knows how to make trouble... A trace of envy, and a hint of regret, surged in Zhang Jian's heart.

If we had given that kid a role, perhaps "Snow Leopard"...
