My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 717

Chapter 717 Stay Away

However, Nan Chen did not think that he was being paranoid. He was certain that things were not that simple. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed to Livingsfill in the middle of the night.

“Drive faster. I want to be there to witness the scene personally,” Nan Chen continued. As such, Nan Xing had no choice but to slam on the accelerator and speed all the way to their destination.

Finally, they arrived at the film set. “Sir Chen, don’t worry. Nothing bad will happen. They are just filming as usual inside,” Qiao Zhan reported.

Nan Chen took a look at the surroundings and noticed that a few new buildings had been constructed nearby. Those buildings had a peculiar style and did not look like the other buildings around them.

They must have been built for the new movie. This place could possibly be a new tourist attraction in the future.

If the movie turns out to be a hit, people would be interested to come here and visit to have a first-hand experience of the filming process.

Just as Nan Chen was about to enter the film set, he was stopped by Nan Xing.

“Chen, they are filming inside. It doesn’t seem appropriate for you to just barge in like that,” Nan Xing reminded.

“Huh?”

“You’re their big boss. If you show up, they would certainly pause shooting to report the filming progress to you. If that’s the case, they wouldn’t be able to proceed with the filming smoothly, right? Besides, if the director sees you, he would probably clear Ning Ran’s schedule for the rest of the day, and that would affect the entire crew. Why don’t you just wait for a while? After they are done with the shoot for today, you would be able to leave with Ning Ran,” Nan Xing said.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Nan Chen turned away as his brother’s words did make sense.

“If that’s the case, I won’t interrupt their filming progress. Qiao Zhan, go in and get the assistant director to come out now. I have some questions for him,” Nan Chen said.

“Understood, Sir Chen.”

Soon, the assistant director walked out of the film set. When he saw Nan Chen, he was so shocked that his knees almost gave way. Why is our big boss here? Is this supposed to be a private visit?

“Sir Chen, we were not informed of your arrival. I’ll get everyone out to welcome you at once…”

The assistant director got such a bad shock that his forehead was already covered with beads of perspiration.

Nan Chen gave a dismissive wave and replied, “You don’t have to be so nervous as I’m just here to take a look. There’s no need to let them know that I’m here. I would like to ask you something. Has any newcomer joined the production team recently?”

The assistant director answered with certainty, “No. The production team members are already fixed. The actors and actresses were confirmed a long time back as well. It’s impossible to have any last-minute changes. As such, there wouldn’t be any newcomers to the team.”

Nan Chen did not seem satisfied with that answer and questioned further, “Are you very sure? I think you should give some careful thought to it before answering me.”

The assistant director replied nervously, “I… I did think about it carefully. Besides, each department has a team leader. Let me check with them again.”

“What are you guys filming today?” Nan Chen asked abruptly.

“It’s a scene where the female lead teleports to a parallel universe where she witnesses the version of her in that universe celebrating her birthday…”

“Would there be a birthday cake? Would she have to blow out candles?” Nan Chen asked.

“Yes…”

Before the assistant director could finish his sentence, Nan Chen had already dashed into the film set.

Meanwhile, inside the film set, the candles had already been lit. The rest of the lighting had been dimmed, and Ning Ran was getting ready to blow out the candles.

“Wait! Stop!” Nan Chen suddenly appeared and shouted.

Everyone was shocked, and the lights were turned back on again. The director stopped the filming at once and said, “Sir Chen, what brings you here?”

As Nan Chen approached Ning Ran, his expression changed drastically. “Everyone, step back! Stay at least three meters away from us. Security, surround me!”

Everyone was stunned, including Ning Ran, who was feeling extremely baffled. “What’s going on? Why are you so flustered?”

“Keep quiet. Security, form a circle around us and get everyone to move back!” Nan Chen yelled.

Qiao Zhan hurried into the film set and asked, “What’s wrong, Sir Chen?”

“Get some men to surround us, and don’t let anyone come near! Kill anyone who comes near us!” Nan Chen hollered.

Qiao Zhan was shocked at Nan Chen’s order. Kill anyone who goes near them? That’s not Sir Chen’s usual style at all.

However, since Nan Chen had given his instructions, if there was anyone who did not listen and insisted on crossing the boundaries, Qiao Zhan would have no choice but to kill them.

“Stay away! No one is allowed to come near! Stay as far away as you can!” Qiao Zhan shouted as a murderous glint flashed across his eyes.

In fact, the man was exuding murderous intent. Chief Qiao was finally showing the ruthless side of him.

As such, everyone retreated backward, staying as far away as they could.

Meanwhile, Nan Chen removed his jacket and wrapped it around Ning Ran.

Ning Ran was deeply puzzled by the man’s actions. She was already dressed in thick layers of clothes for filming purposes. Besides, the weather in Livingsfill was not cold at all. As such, she could not figure out what Nan Chen was doing.

However, she trusted the man and knew that he must have his reasons for doing so.
