Chapter 511: Where to Hide?
The day before the incident, the matter had made the news. Yu Linna, watching this news, had felt so terrified for the first time. As long as she had gotten on the plane, her life would have been over. Life was so fragile. Before they had gotten on the plane, those few people had still been so lively. In a flash, they were lying in the hospital, and a few of them were not even in this world anymore.
She felt it was too scary.
If this was really an accident, then it was a bit too much of a coincidence. The things that had happened these few days had too many coincidences, which made her feel incredible. She now felt that where in this world could there be so many coincidences? It was more like it had been premeditated.
When a person is alone, it is easy to think of many things. Yu Linna began to think of the attitude she had had when she had been at Chenghe Film Company, and at that time, Yu Tianchen had said that she would regret it.
She thought that it was not impossible for it to be related to Chenghe.
After all, the conflict between her and Chenghe was not something that could be explained in one or two sentences. The death of Sister Chen was related to Chenghe, and she herself had also suffered a loss at the hands of Chenghe. Chenghe was the largest film company in the country. She had been there before, and she knew that Chenghe also had dealings with the triads. It was really not impossible for them to have done something inside.
She wanted to call the police.
She had looked for Officer Ye, but there was no evidence. She had no choice but to maintain the status quo. She had escaped a disaster because of her cold. She had decided to buy a flight ticket and had been determined not to take a private plane. Because of this matter, she had looked for Zhao Yuyan to discuss it. Zhao Yuyan was also full of suspicion.
“That’s not very likely…”
Zhao Yuyan couldn’t imagine how it could be related to Chenghe. After all, in the eyes of the outside world, Chenghe didn’t have many blemishes. If you hadn’t personally been in contact with them, you really wouldn’t know.
Zhao Yuyan’s side didn’t really believe it, and as for the others, it went without saying. They all felt that Yu Linna was just being paranoid. At the same time, someone had revealed online that Yu Linna had taken on a guest appearance in a movie during her time of gathering material in South Korea. This Weibo post had also attracted the attention of some people, but it was not confirmed.
Yu Linna had delayed for a week before going to England. During this period, she had been hiding at home. She was very scared, afraid that a car would hit her as soon as she went out. She hugged herself, hiding at home alone, and silently sobbed.
“Why…”
Loneliness, helplessness, and fear. All kinds of negative emotions surrounded her, making her at a loss.
A week later, the sick Yu Linna had boarded a plane with all sorts of psychological burdens. This time, before she had left, she had specially had someone pay attention to the airport’s safety factor, as well as the past flight crash incidents, and had also repeatedly negotiated with the people on that side, only daring to get on the plane after ensuring that there was no danger. In the eyes of outsiders, she was like a country bumpkin who had never been on a plane before, very nervous. But only she herself understood this kind of panic.
She had decided to temporarily live in England for a period of time.
This was by no means a sudden decision, but a well-thought-out one.
After she had gone to England, she had indeed stayed for a long time, and had not come back for a long time. Although the people in her home country were very concerned about Shion-sensei, she herself had not appeared in any public occasion in her home country, leaving everyone with a lot of anticipation.
And so, the summer vacation was over, and September had begun.
After experiencing all kinds of high-intensity filming, Demon Child, with Yu Linna as the main screenwriter and one of the supervisors, was about to be finished filming. At that time, it would be released in theaters in an R15 format. Although the main theme was a superhero theme, it was more of a horror film. Director Heston had made adaptations to the original work in it, had deleted unnecessary plots, and had created some original plots. And Yu Linna, influenced by his dedication, had also become very hardworking.
After living in this kind of place, she was slowly able to forget about the things that had happened in her home country.
“Linna, I’ve gotten the performance qualification. I’m so awesome.”
Stephanie would occasionally come to visit the set. She had said that she was working hard to become a lead actress, and Yu Linna also believed that she would succeed. In England, Stephanie was also the first friend she had known. In the hot summer, Yu Linna had slowly adapted to the life abroad. In the beginning, she was not very used to it in Europe, but gradually, she seemed to have also gotten used to it.
Starting this September, the university was about to start again. Yu Linna and the others would soon be returning to a new life.
But…
The Weibo circle had recently been in an uproar over a South Korean movie. The cause of the matter was like this: the South Korean movie When the Alarm Bell Rings had been released in South Korean cinemas and had achieved good box office results. But one of the scenes in this movie involved an insulting plot against her countrymen. It was a plot between a certain foreign girl and her Chinese bodyguard. And that was not all. Someone had also revealed that the guest appearance in this plot was originally to be played by Yu Linna, but it seemed that because the South Korean film company had not negotiated a good price, she had not been able to act.
For a time, the domestic Weibo circle was in an uproar.
“This person, Yu Linna, I used to think she was an American. Look, the reality is there. She wanted to act in an insulting clip against her countrymen! It’s just that they didn’t negotiate a good price, so she didn’t go.”
“I really can’t understand why the surname Yu would go and film this kind of film, and still call herself Chinese. Disgusting.”
Of course, there were also people who stood up to speak for her.
“Shion-sensei definitely didn’t not act because of the money. It’s definitely because she saw that this movie was insulting that she didn’t act.”
“Wait for the truth. If you randomly say things without a basis, you have to be responsible!”
The controversy online was very fierce.
A supreme god author who had been at the top of the popularity list for a long time was now being furiously flamed by people for her suspected participation in an insulting clip. Many people did not care what you had done. They only cared about what black spots you had. Even if it was just a rumor, they would believe it.
Although the officials had stood up and said that Shion-sensei had no intention of participating in this movie, and that although the two sides had been in contact, it was Shion-sensei herself who had refused to act, this statement, on the contrary, had been seized by those who had wanted to flame her in the first place, and they had vigorously flamed her, saying that since Yu Linna had been in contact, she must have wanted to act.
This matter had caused a bit of a stir. There were also people on Twitter who had said that the South Korean side had no choice but to come out and apologize and had said that they would revise this clip. Kang Hyun-ah had also said that it was Yu Linna who had refused to participate in the filming. But it was useless.
The people online didn’t care about that much and just knew how to flame. Many netizens were people who had not been out in society, whose three views had not yet been fully formed, and who only knew how to flame people online. Yu Linna had been subjected to online violence, and all explanations seemed to be blank.
If you had to say why, Yu Linna’s biggest advantage, and at the same time her biggest weakness, was that she was not a pure Chinese person.
She was a mixed-race. Although she had Chinese nationality, many people online were unreasonable and only knew that she had foreign blood and were blindly xenophobic, and had even dissed many of the mixed-race stars in the entertainment industry. In the eyes of these haters, as long as you were not Chinese, it was as if it were a very despicable thing.
On the surface, that was indeed the case.
Behind the scenes, these water armies were basically bought by Chenghe. The purpose was only one: to smear Yu Linna, to make it impossible for her to stay in this circle.
Yu Linna had already offended Chenghe. How could Chenghe let her go so easily? To be honest, it was the most rational for Yu Linna to go abroad now. If she were in the country, the people from Chenghe would surely find ways to target her.
“Linna, don’t mind those things. We will help you clarify. Didn’t you say before that you wouldn’t bother with those haters?”
Fang Jiangning had said this when she had called her. Yu Linna herself was leaning against the wall, her face full of decadence.
“I am Chinese.”
“I know you are.”
“But they don’t believe it.”
Yu Linna sat down on the ground. Whatever others said about her, she seemed to not care. She said she didn’t mind, but she more or less still did. It was impossible for her to say she didn’t care at all.
She had the ability to withstand pressure, but that didn’t mean she was completely immune. When she saw that her countrymen did not welcome her and were vigorously saying bad things about her, after growing up so much, it was the first time she had felt that staying in her home country was so tiring.
But she still had to go back.
Beast Game was finished filming, and was going to be released in November. It was impossible for her to miss the promotion. Her two animated IP had also been confirmed to have a home and were ready to be handed over to Tangxin Company and Happy Entertainment for production. The other party had also discussed with her, saying that they might make some changes. Yu Linna had said that at that time, she would supervise the project, and the two sides had also confirmed a cooperative relationship.
I’ve Loved You for Ten Years was already in filming. She had to go back and supervise.
For all sorts of reasons, Yu Linna had left the crew of Demon Child and had returned to her home country. Although she was still uneasy in her heart, she still decided to come back. Because of work, she did not want to stay outside for too long. And after she had returned to her home country, she was naturally also known by Chenghe.
“Boss, do you want to make a move?”
“Not for now.”
In the office, Yu Tianchen was smoking a cigarette and said so.
“Why? She’s back.”
“To move her now is not very rational. Her public opinion is very fierce right now. If you get rid of her now, it will only make people suspicious. Let’s wait a little longer. This is not a good time. If we had gotten rid of her before, it would have been much easier. Maybe we would be holding a memorial service now. But life doesn’t have so many ‘ifs.’ We can only say that we didn’t seize the opportunity. But she can’t beat us. She is one person, and we are a group of people.”
Yu Tianchen put out his cigarette butt…
…
After she had returned, she had taken a break, and then had thrown herself into her work. No matter how the outside world evaluated her, she was still working, and she had not noticed the danger. No, she might have noticed it, but she did not know how to resist. Chenghe Film Company, that was a real big devil. How could she possibly beat them? Even if she pulled in Wenqing, it would be impossible to beat them.
Before she had left, she had called Fang Jiangning and was chatting with her in the living room.
“Jiangning, tell me, am I being a little impulsive?”
“Why do you say that?”
“I’m not clear either, but I just feel that I might be too impulsive. I shouldn’t have done that kind of thing to Chenghe. I was over the top.”
“What did you say clearly? You’re making me scared!”
“Jiangning, I suspect someone wants to get rid of me. I’m a little scared. I hope I’m just overthinking it, but I’m really a little scared.”
“…Where are you? I’ll come and find you.”
“I’m at home.”
Yu Linna hung up the phone and leaned against the sofa. When she was abroad, she had not been afraid of anything, but now, she was indeed very scared. She was afraid that Chenghe would come out from somewhere and get rid of her. She had thought of calling the police, but there was no evidence to prove it. The only thing she could think of was to hire a bodyguard.
Fang Jiangning had found her. She had said a lot to Yu Linna, but only the two of them knew what she had said. Fang Jiangning had told her to stay at her place first, and Yu Linna had said okay. During this period of Yu Linna’s most terrifying days, with the comfort of her friend, there was a little bit of sun.
