Chapter 53 Anyone who dares to touch my people, I will never let them get away with it.
"negligence?"
Shen Yu sneered, exposing his lie.
"This rope is so worn out that even a novice could tell at a glance that it needs to be replaced before it can be used again."
You've been with the company for two years, and worked as a wire rigging assistant for a year and a half. Your daily job is to check for equipment wear and tear. How could you not notice it?
"Xiao Wang! Tell me the truth! What exactly happened?! Who ordered you to do it?!"
Xiao Wang didn't expect Shen Yu to be so persistent, and now he was starting to get scared.
His eyes involuntarily darted toward the lighting setup, then fixed intently on Zhang Lei in the crowd, his eyes filled with panic and pleading.
With just that one look, everyone in the room instantly understood what was going on and followed his gaze to Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei instinctively shrank back, immediately avoiding Xiao Wang's gaze, pretending to be nonchalant, but cold sweat had already broken out on his forehead.
Seeing Zhang Lei's reaction, Xiao Wang felt even more desperate and regretful.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have been greedy for that little bit of money. But now that it's done, it's too late to say anything; he can only continue to stubbornly insist it was an accident.
"I...it was my negligence, I didn't check carefully...it's all my fault, no one told me to..."
Xiao Wang continued to argue stubbornly, but was interrupted by Shen Yu.
He had already calculated the cause and effect of the matter.
The interrogation of Xiao Wang was merely a cover-up, as he couldn't directly demonstrate his abilities in public.
His gaze instantly locked onto Zhang Lei, who was secretly moving towards the door in the crowd, and he coldly shouted:
"Zhang Lei, stop right there."
Zhang Lei froze instantly, and could only slowly turn around, forcing a smile to appear calm:
"Mr. Shen, you called me? This has nothing to do with me. I'm just a lighting technician. I knew nothing about the wire work. It was Xiao Wang's own negligence..."
"It's none of your business?"
Shen Yu interrupted him, walking towards him step by step, his aura instantly intensifying as he pressed down hard on Zhang Lei.
"Three days ago, you deposited 20,000 yuan in cash into Xiao Wang's bank card, instructing him to deliberately conceal the wear and tear on the suspension ropes, saving it for Jiang Xinlan's scene. You also promised him another 100,000 yuan after it was all done, right?"
Zhang Lei's eyes widened instantly, staring at Shen Yu as if he had seen a ghost.
He gave Xiao Wang money using cash deposit without a card, and there was no record of any transfer.
Moreover, to maintain secrecy, the two did not leave any chat logs, and even their conversations were conducted face-to-face.
How could Shen Yu know so much about the 20,000 yuan deposit and the 100,000 yuan final payment?
"You...you're talking nonsense! You're slandering me!"
Zhang Lei immediately retorted, his neck stiff with arrogance, cold sweat streaming down his face.
"I never gave Xiao Wang any money! This has nothing to do with me! Don't wrongly accuse an innocent person!"
"You've been wronged?"
Shen Yu stopped and stood in front of him, looking down at him with sharp, piercing eyes that seemed to see right through his thoughts.
"Someone offered you 500,000 yuan to cause an accident on set, seriously injuring Jiang Xinlan and crippling her. They paid you 100,000 yuan as a deposit, right?"
"In order not to leave any evidence, you bribed Xiao Wang to create a seemingly accidental incident under the pretext of equipment aging."
Even if the incident comes to light, they'll only hold Xiao Wang accountable for negligence. You're able to take the money and walk away unscathed; you've certainly got a clever plan.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei's face turned completely pale, and he trembled uncontrollably.
These matters were top secret between him and that anonymous employer; no third person knew about them.
How could Shen Yu know such a small detail as asking for 500,000 and having to pay a 100,000 deposit upfront?!
Seeing Zhang Lei's shocked and terrified expression, Shen Yu continued in a cold voice:
"You still want to deny it? If I have someone check your bank statements right now, you'll see two large sums of money coming in within the last month: a deposit of 100,000 yuan and a final payment of 400,000 yuan. Do you think you can hide that?"
"Or do you want to wait for the police to arrive before clarifying things? Intentional assault, even without serious consequences, is enough to land you in jail for several years. Do you think your employer will bail you out?"
These words were like the last straw, completely breaking down Zhang Lei's mental defenses.
Moreover, the terrifying pressure emanating from Shen Yu made his chest feel tight, making it difficult to breathe, as if he would be crushed by this aura at any moment.
His legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, confessing everything.
"I'll tell you everything! Someone bribed me! Someone made me do it!"
"I have no grudge against Teacher Jiang and never intended to harm her! A strange woman called me and said she would give me 500,000 yuan if I could cause Teacher Jiang to have an accident and be seriously injured while filming! She gave me a 100,000 yuan deposit first, and the balance would be paid after the deed was done!"
"I was momentarily blinded by greed and bribed Xiao Wang to deliberately not replace the worn-out rope in an attempt to create an accident!"
I really don't know who she is. She keeps calling me from an anonymous number, and the money is being transferred to me from an anonymous account! I really don't know anything about her!
Zhang Lei knelt on the ground and recounted everything in detail, kowtowing repeatedly to Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan until his forehead turned red.
"I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please forgive me this time! I'll never do it again!"
The entire place erupted in chaos!
Everyone was stunned, staring at Zhang Lei kneeling on the ground, their faces filled with shock and anger.
It really wasn't an accident! Someone paid someone to kill Jiang Xinlan on purpose!
"How wicked! How could they do something so heinous!"
"Who exactly did Sister Xinlan offend? Why would they go to such lengths to harm her?"
"Five hundred thousand for a life? That's outrageous! It's utterly lawless!"
Lu Chuan was also trembling with anger, pointing at Zhang Lei on the ground, unable to speak for a long time.
He never imagined that someone would dare to do such a despicable thing as hiring someone to commit violence in his film crew!
Jiang Xinlan stood there, feeling a chill run through her body.
She simply couldn't understand who she had offended that would make the other party spend 500,000 yuan and go to such great lengths to ruin her.
Shen Yu supported her trembling body, the coldness in his eyes almost solidifying.
He looked down at Zhang Lei kneeling on the ground and said coldly:
"That woman's phone number and the anonymous account's transaction records are still on your phone?"
"Yes! Yes! They're all on my phone! I didn't dare delete them!"
Zhang Lei quickly took his phone out of his pocket and handed it over with both hands, not daring to hide anything.
Shen Yu took the phone and handed it to Lu Chuan beside him, saying in a deep voice:
"Call the police. There's solid evidence of intentional assault; let the police handle it."
"Okay, okay! I'll call the police right now!"
Lu Chuan immediately took out his phone and dialed the police.
In less than ten minutes, the police arrived at the film set. Faced with overwhelming evidence, Zhang Lei and Xiao Wang had no way to refute it and were handcuffed and taken away by the police on the spot.
They will face severe legal punishment.
After dealing with the matter, Lu Chuan looked at Jiang Xinlan with a face full of guilt:
"Xinlan, I'm so sorry for what happened. I can tell you were quite frightened today. How about this, the whole crew gets a day off so you can go back and rest and recover. We'll resume filming the day after tomorrow."
The production crew will also upgrade security measures to ensure this never happens again.
