When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247: Chapter 101: Leading Lady of the 1960s Cultural Troupe (40), Part 2

"If something happens to Comrade Wang Huiwen, can you and I bear the consequences?"

Director Yuan’s expression was grim. She looked at Xia Zhaoyun and the other girls in the dorm. "So, what do you want to do?"

Xia Zhaoyun didn’t back down an inch. "Call the police. Let the comrades from the bureau handle it."

Director Yuan grunted. "Fine. Handle it yourselves, and you can bear the consequences yourselves, too."

As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Huiwen, who was crying so hard she was about to pass out. Lips pressed tightly together, she turned and left, shooting a subtle glare at Jie Xiaoqin on her way out.

Xia Zhaoyun dispersed the crowd, then said quietly to Troupe Leader Xue, "Leader, we’ll call the police discreetly. We’ll have comrades from the bureau come in plainclothes to investigate. We’ll try to identify the culprit while minimizing the impact."

"We don’t actually want to make a big scene. The main issue is that this person’s intentions are just too vicious. A rusty nail piercing the flesh carries the risk of tetanus. That disease progresses quickly, and you can’t afford to wait for treatment!"

"If we do nothing this time, there will be another Comrade Wang Huiwen. Sooner or later, someone will die, and when that happens, no one in the entire troupe will escape punishment from our superiors."

These were all Troupe Leader Xue’s concerns as well. Xia Zhaoyun was merely repeating them, but the effect was to amplify the leader’s worries even further.

’Failing to bring glory to the factory would be a shame, but she was not willing to get embroiled in a case involving someone’s death.’

’After all, she was the highest-ranking leader in the troupe. If anything happened, she would be the first to be held accountable!’

Troupe Leader Xue nodded. "Alright, we’ll do it your way. Call the police as soon as possible. The sooner we catch that vicious person, the better."

"Also, get Comrade Wang to the hospital for a check-up right away."

Once everyone had left, before Xia Zhaoyun could even speak, Yao Yunying nervously peeked outside before securely shutting the door.

Zhao Si’en was the first to explain in a low voice, "Miss Xia, Huiwen is fine, but the rusty nail in her shoe is real. Didn’t you say before that we should turn their own plan against them if necessary?"
