Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi

After Song Yanshu reported to Mo Ting about Tangningʼs safety, he immediately instructed Lu Che to watch over her. If Bai Qiusheng dared to lift a finger, he could not blame Mo Ting for responding ruthlessly.

...

That night, Gu Heng tried multiple times to visit Bai Qiusheng at his room. But, everytime she knocked on the door, there was no one there. Worst of all, he didnʼt pick up his phone and even his assistant was nowhere to be found.

As a result, she was pretty certain that Bai Qiusheng would use the car scene to force Tangning out.

He would be really lucky if he succeeded, but if Tangning found out...

Gu Heng did not dare to think of the consequences. So she spent the rest of the night in fear.

The next morning.

Tangning headed out for her shoot, but ran into Gu Heng at the front of the hotel.

”Gu Jie?”

”Iʼll come with you on set. Didnʼt I promise to show you a demonstration?” Gu Heng reminded.

Tangning smiled, ”How could I bother you like that?”

”Itʼs OK. Iʼm doing it for the sake of achieving a better result for the film in front of the audience,” Gu Heng replied.

”OK then...”

The three women headed on set together. As they arrived, they found that the crew had already contacted the police to block off a stretch of road and everything was ready to go.

Gu Heng placed her gaze on Bai Qiusheng and tried to get his attention, but he completely ignored her. Obviously, he felt she was being too merciful.

This was Tangningʼs first time filming a car scene. Even though all the cars followed a planned sequence, the director still ran through all the fine details with Tangning.

Bai Qiusheng stood beside Tangning. As Tangning looked at him, she wondered what thoughts were running through his mind.

Did he not consider, if things got too serious, there was a possiblity she may lose her life?

As expected, Tangningʼs car was tampered with. 3am that very morning, although the cameras did not capture him, he did not escape the eyes of Lu Che.

Meanwhile, Gu Heng was standing opposite Tangning. As she looked at the way Tangning looked at Bai Qiusheng, she had a feeling her gaze contained a sense of disdain and ridicule.

”Tangning, when the cameras start rolling, you simply need to focus on that camera and remember which route to take. Letʼs do a practice run,” Wei An suggested.

Tangning glanced at Bai Qiusheng and nodded her head, ”Director, can I test out the car first? Iʼve never filmed such an intense scene, so Iʼm feeling a little nervous.”

”Of course...” Wei An nodded.

”Why donʼt I test it out for you,” Gu Heng nudged the assistant director aside and offered, ”I have more experience in this. If I demonstrate, Tangning will be able to learn faster.”

Wei An analyzed Gu Heng and nodded his head, ”Fine. Gu Heng demonstrate. Tangning watch carefully.”

Bai Qiusheng looked at Gu Heng with a stunned and angry expression. His gaze also contained an obvious panic. Because he never expected that Gu Heng would directly block him from hurting Tangning to the extent where she would be willing to risk her own life.

This was because she was trying to protect him...

So, she did not regret her decision.

”Tangning is a professional, she doesnʼt need your demonstration,” Bai Qiusheng grumbled in front of everyone. ”Director, Iʼll show Tangning to the car. Iʼm sure sheʼll get used to it after a quick drive.”

”This does sound like a better use of our time...” Wei An nodded, agreeing to Bai Qiushengʼs suggestion.

Tangning looked at Bai Qiusheng as her lips slowly curved upwards, ”Director Wei, I think if Bai Ge takes me for a drive, the result would be even better.”

Hearing Tangningʼs suggestion, Gu Hengʼs face turned pale...

Because this was proof that Tangning knew what her and Bai Qiusheng had planned. Including Bai Qiushengʼs plan today to injure her.

”Tangningʼs right. Qiusheng, we will need to trouble you for a bit to go give Tangning a demonstration,” Wei An said as he pointed to the car parked not too far away.

Although Bai Qiusheng was given a difficult task, he remained calm. Because instead of walking over to Tangningʼs car, he simply walked over to his own one instead.

However...his car happened to be out of fuel.

Seeing this, the props assistant immediately apologized, ”Sorry, I forgot to check it. Iʼll go add some fuel now.”

”In that case, drive Tangningʼs car for now,” Wei An said to Bai Qiusheng.

Bai Qiusheng furrowed his brows and looked at Tangning. However, Tangning looked back at him with a sense of interest and slight mockery...

Bai Qiusheng was surprised, but he still stepped out of his car and headed for Tangningʼs car. At this time, Gu Heng suddenly blocked his way, ”I still think itʼs best if I do it...”

This time, Wei An sensed something was a bit unusual, so he asked, ”Why are you guys fighting over something like this?”

Gu Heng turned and looked at Tangning, hoping she could show some mercy.

However, Tangning laughed and said, ”Thatʼs right. Gu Jie, you were supposed to have a day off today. You really donʼt need to worry about my safety, everyone is here. Although itʼs my first time doing a scene like this, Iʼm not afraid.”

Gu Heng looked at Tangning, at the way she wasnʼt willing to back down, and suddenly felt helpless.

”Qiusheng?” Wei An queried.

Bai Qiusheng pushed Gu Heng aside and boarded the car, locking the door firmly behind him...

He of course couldnʼt tell anyone that there was something wrong with the car brakes. So he looked at Tangning through the rear view mirror with a dangerous gaze.

He had never imagined that heʼd fall into Tangningʼs hands; a womanʼs hands...

How did she find out what was happening? Or did she actually not know and all this was just a coincidence?

Gu Heng watched as Bai Qiusheng sat in the car. She was still unsure whether she should take on all the blame to save him. If she was to do that, her future would be destroyed...

But, she knew that Bai Qiusheng did all this because of her. She couldnʼt let Bai Qiusheng take such a huge risk.

So, she had no choice but to beg Tangning...

She even dragged Tangning to one side, ”Tangning, I donʼt want to see either you or Qiusheng get hurt today. Could you please convince the Director not to use the car?”

”So, Gu Jie also knows that thereʼs something wrong with the car?” Tangning tested.

”I simply donʼt want...” Gu Heng looked extra uncomfortable. ”Everything he did was for my sake. I hope you can show some mercy.”

”Have you considered what might have happened if I started driving that car?” Tangning asked straightforwardly.

”Thatʼs why I came. Whether itʼs you or him, I wasnʼt going to let either of you drive that car...”

”Even if you can prevent this incident, what about the next?” Tangning asked.

Gu Heng was speechless...

She was right. What would she do next time?

”Since he has the courage to gamble with my life, he should give me a life in return. I have always been one to give an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Even if you kneel down and beg me today, I will still make him drive that car. I need to let him know that not everyone can do as they please.”

For the sake of her husband, she had to ensure that she lived better than others.

Of course, Tangning did not tell her this.
