Chapter 14

Once my wound had mostly healed, I hurried back to the set.

Regarding the previous incident, the police only said publicly that the investigation was ongoing.

Amidst everyone’s unease, I celebrated my very first wrap on the big screen.

“Congratulations!” The production assistant handed me a bouquet as the set burst into applause.

The head screenwriter announced, “Just wait, you’ll be winning so many awards this time your hands will get tired!”

Bai Yu smiled and pinched my cheek. “By then, those reporters won’t even know how to accuse me of mistreating you.”

“I’m going to eat nonstop for a month!”

I clenched my fist in a vow-my round face will return!

Over more than a year of filming, everyone had grown close, and after we wrapped, we planned a wrap party together.

I drank quite a bit that night, and the next morning, with a splitting headache, I found an unexpected visitor at my door.

Gu Weifeng looked like he’d walked out of a Hong Kong crime movie, dressed in a black trench coat. “Miss Jiang, long time no see.”

“Juexia, who is it?”

“Wait, wait!” Gu Weifeng stared at Bai Yu, who was wearing slippers. “Why is he at your house?”

I replied, a bit annoyed, “He’s not the only one. The whole crew is here-we had a party at my place last night. What do you want?”

Bai Yu smiled gently. “I made some hangover soup for everyone. Want to try some first?”

With an offer like that, I nodded quickly.

Gu Weifeng said sternly, “Juexia, you’re a Top-Tier Young Actress with so many male fans supporting you. Don’t let romance go to your head and disappoint all of us who love you…”

I gave him a puzzled look.

“But I do have something important to discuss with you this time, and I hope you’ll cooperate with us.”

I thought about it and took him out to the terrace to talk.

Once we got to the case, Gu Weifeng grew much more serious.

In summary, they had uncovered several important leads in the case where I was attacked.

But due to confidentiality, he couldn’t share details with me.

All he could say was that these leads were connected to the Rainy Night Case from twenty years ago.

And it would be best if I could cooperate with the police and act as an undercover in the entertainment industry.

“Juexia, you’re honestly the only connection I have in showbiz!” Gu Weifeng looked like a die-hard fan.

I said, “Quick-name three dramas I’ve starred in!”

Gu Weifeng dodged, “Wow, the weather is really nice today…”

In short, if necessary, I’d need to become the Bait.

“This is completely voluntary. You can refuse…”

“I agree.”

“Huh?”

“On one condition: if you ever shoot a public service announcement, you have to call me! I’ve had enough criticism as it is!”

Let’s see who would still spread rumors about me going to jail after this.

I’ll put on my best performance as the entertainment industry’s model citizen-in true Infernal Affairs style.
