Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 424
Chapter 424: Heard You Got Shelved (29)
Director Wang raised his voice, “Enough! Stop arguing. I trust Jingchen’s character. This matter won’t just be brushed off. We’ll review the footage, and if we find even the slightest clue, it won’t end with just someone getting fired.”
After the crowd dispersed, Yu Jingchen gave a bitter smile and said, “Thank you, Sister Xiaoxing, for believing in me.”
His delicate, flawless face looked downcast, with his long eyelashes trembling anxiously, and his lips were a bit pale.
“It’s my fault for not checking the props carefully. Brother Hao got hurt because of me.”
Shen Mubai knew he had been deeply shaken by the incident.
Seeing him like this, she felt both heartache and frustration.
“It’s not your job to check the props. Something fishy is definitely going on here. Just wait; the truth will come out. But in the meantime, it’ll be tough for you.”
Yu Jingchen lifted his gaze, his expression sincere, and said softly, “As long as you believe in me, that’s all that matters.”
In the following days, although both Director Wang and Shen Mubai spoke up for Yu Jingchen, not everyone shared their views.
The looks directed at him were increasingly suspicious and strange.
Shen Mubai was furious.
She suspected Zhang Hao might be behind it, but there wasn’t enough evidence.
On top of that, Zhang Hao’s injury had already been made public, and while he appeared calm on the surface, he was subtly fueling the fire.
His fans were now circulating conspiracy theories about the crew.
Some people were starting to connect the dots and blame Yu Jingchen, accusing him of being an arrogant junior resenting a senior actor.
If this wasn’t resolved soon, it would leave a permanent stain on Yu Jingchen’s reputation.
Just as Shen Mubai was considering swallowing her pride to ask her older brother for help, the situation took a sudden twist.
During another stunt scene involving both Yu Jingchen and Zhang Hao, another accident occurred, though this time, the victim was different.
The usually calm horse Yu Jingchen was riding suddenly became agitated, nearly throwing him off.
If he hadn’t reacted quickly, he might have ended up in the hospital.
Director Wang was furious and immediately demanded answers.
It turned out that during a previous scene, Zhang Hao had accidentally injured Yu Jingchen’s horse with his prop.
Coincidentally, the crew member who had previously accused Yu Jingchen had suddenly disappeared after this incident.
Although the situation was smoothed over thanks to Yu Jingchen’s forgiving nature, the crew’s attitude toward him completely changed.
He had always been kind and polite to everyone, and now they felt guilty for having doubted him.
Just when everyone thought the matter was resolved, a recording surfaced online.
Though the audio was somewhat unclear, it revealed that the person had been bribed to falsely accuse someone, but was now confessing out of guilt.
However, due to certain reasons, they couldn’t disclose who was behind it.
For gossip enthusiasts, this was big news.
Connecting the dots with everything that had happened, public opinion began to shift, and the suspicion turned toward Zhang Hao.
If it weren’t for his strong PR team, who quickly shifted the focus to Yu Jingchen’s inexperience, the fallout could have been far worse.
