When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Chapter 1100: Top Star of the 1960s Cultural Troupe (39)

"He was sent for an autopsy, and the doctor said he died of tetanus—all because of a rusty nail clipper!"

"If the person who planted the tack knew about the dangers of tetanus, their intentions are truly sinister. This is murder..."

The group grew anxious. "What should we do then? Should we call the police?"

Peng Shulan looked at Wang Huiwen. "Huiwen, what do you think?"

Wang Huiwen pressed her lips together. "What are the odds of catching the real culprit if we call the police?"

Zhao Si’en sighed. "No one can guarantee it. If there were concrete evidence, we could easily root them out. But if they were careful enough, this could drag on for a long time."

"But wouldn’t that just tip them off and affect our performance?" Wang Huiwen furrowed her brow. "Why don’t we do what Teacher Xia suggested and beat them at their own game!"

All eyes turned to her. She gave a slight smile. "I’ll just pretend I’m injured. For the next few days, I’ll have to limp around and act like I’m still trying to train. We’ll let everyone get worked up and worried, which is exactly what that person wants."

"Besides, I wasn’t actually hurt; I found the thumbtack before it could do anything. Even if we catch the person, how could we get them charged with anything? I think it’s better if we just hold on until the show. Then we’ll follow Comrade Xia to the city for the performance and be in top form. That would be the best revenge!"

The group nodded in agreement. Yao Yunying smiled and said, "Exactly. For someone to resort to a murder plot, you can see how important these two performances are to her. We won’t give her the satisfaction. This is more than just defeating her; it’s about crushing her spirit."

"But we have to be extra careful from now on. Don’t give anyone an opening."

"But for now, we should make a big scene. I’m sure someone will be in a hurry to expose themselves, right?"

The group all agreed again. They huddled together and worked on it for a bit, and soon Wang Huiwen’s foot was a ghastly, swollen bruise, with blood spattered on the floor.

What followed was a huge commotion, so chaotic that even the building manager was alerted...

Yao Yunying stood in the hallway, hands on her hips, and started cursing at the top of her lungs. "Some good-for-nothing piece of trash who can’t win first place on their own merit decided to sabotage someone else, stabbing their toe with a rusty thumbtack!"

"I can’t believe such a disgusting thing would happen in our troupe. No, we have to call the police. What if Huiwen gets tetanus and just kicks the bucket overnight? Wouldn’t that be a terrible tragedy?"

"Who’s going to dare win honor for the factory after this? Everyone will be too busy watching their backs for some petty backstabber!"
