Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me-Chapter 245 : Shen Jingwei Has Been Poisoned

"CUT!!!" Director Ma cried out as he rushed into the scene.

A wave of panic swept over the cast and crew members.

"Shen Jingwei! Shen Jingwei!"

"Are you alright? What happened?"

"Can you talk? Can you stand???"

Sick of the barrage of questions, Yan Renzhong lifted Shen Jingwei into his arms and bellowed, "Call the doctor!"

At this time, the doctor was happily drinking afternoon tea in his office while telling old tales from his internship period.

"And then I said, ’Old woman, stop throwing stuff at me! I am your doctor and I am trying to help you!’"

The nurses broke into a choir of laughter.

"So yeah, I had had to deal with a lot of difficult patients during my internship time," so the doctor recalled.

"And then I start working in CNC Studio and I get some very interesting cases. Like that guy Shen Jingwei, who got stabbed by a costume needle once..."

Suddenly, the door to his room was slammed open and Yan Renzhong showed up at the door, heavily panting while holding the barely conscious Shen Jingwei in his arms.

"Doctor, something is wrong with Shen Jingwei."

The doctor sprayed his tea all over the floor.

Speak of the devil!

He regained his composure before the onlookers shot him a round of judgmental looks.

"Put him on the bed. Let me see, what exactly happened?"

In response, Shen Jingwei threw up again.

The doctor quickly instructed a nurse to take some sample from the vomit to send to the lab.

"Abdominal pain? Any discomfort?"

"Yes," Shen Jingwei managed. "My stomach hurts... Uhh..."

"Did you eat or drink anything suspicious in the last few hours?" The doctor asked while examining Shen Jingwei’s oral cavity and throat.

"Only... Packaged lunch and a bottle of mineral water."

"No," Yan Renzhong countered. "He also drank some tea from the set."

Shen Jingwei’s pupils shook when he heard Yan Renzhong’s words.

"What? Yes, but... How come?"

The doctor’s face turned grim.

"We should go to a hospital now. You need to undergo a proper examination."

Yan Renzhong gathered Shen Jingwei into his arms again.

"Let’s go," he demanded.

Zhu Dongyi, scared as hell, shook so violently from head to toe that he could barely walk.

Shang Ruohai rubbed at his aching temple.

"Take care of everything, you two. Get him the best treatment and the most expensive medicine. CNC Studio will naturally cover the tab."

Even without him saying that, Yan Renzhong was able to cover every cent without fail.

Yan Renzhong, Zhu Dongyi, Shen Jingwei, and the doctor left in an ambulance after a while.

Left behind, Feng Jietang stared at the disappearing ambulance with dread.

When he saw Lang Yuxuan, he couldn’t help but think the worst of him.

"Lang Yuxuan," he snapped as he yanked Lang Yuxuan’s arm. "Did you do it?"

"The hell I did!" Lang Yuxuan cried out. "The only thing I carried and left at Peak Point Shooting Studio is the box of cake rolls I brought for all the brothers at the editing studio!

After we separated, I headed back to the editing studio and chatted with them while eating the cake! Every single person there can vouch for me!"

Feng Jietang’s grip around Lang Yuxuan’s wrist immediately relaxed.

"Sorry," he murmured. "I am just worried for Little Shen, that’s all."

Lang Yuxuan scoffed.

"You can be worried all you want, but kindly watch your tongue. I refuse to be seen as the villain the entire time."

Of course, he did not bother mentioning that he did sabotage Shen Jingwei’s metal wires when he performed the sword dance during the Winter Solstice act. He was not that dumb. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

On the other hand, although he personally had no hand in this matter, he possibly knew who the culprit was.

Said culprit was relaxing on the sidelines with a bottle of water and a handheld fan when Lang Yuxuan arrived in front of him.

"Was that you?" Lang Yuxuan asked without beating the bush.

Jin Zhuo looked around nervously before he lowered his voice and said, "What, how did you know about that?"

Lang Yuxuan rolled with his eyes.

"Don’t you think that you are being too fucking obvious? All of us spent months filming one shooting period after another and nothing happened. This is your first active shooting period and you dared pull this kind of crap?"

Jin Zhuo pursed his lips.

"It was nothing big, I promise. It’s just this herbal concoction I got from a pharmacy to induce vomiting. I didn’t even add that much to his tea. How am I supposed to know that he would have to go to a hospital?"

"And why would you do that? Did you have nothing better to do? Or are you just venting because Senior Shang torments you so much?"

"Pfft."

Jin Zhuo looked around one more time, just in case someone unexpectedly showed up and caught snippets of their conversation.

"Look, I don’t have many scenes in which to act as Xie Jianzhi. I only appear in one and a half shooting periods, and then only at season three or something. Shouldn’t I be enjoying my time?

But nooo, Shen Jingwei gets all the attention. It makes me sick. Plus, as you said, your Senior Shang just can’t keep his mouth shut about my acting. Now that Shen Jingwei suddenly contracts a mysterious illness, Shang Ruohai is going to be busy for a while.

With both Shen Jingwei and Shang Ruohai gone, I can finally shoot my scenes in peace. Got it?"

Lang Yuxuan put both hands at his waist and shot Jin Zhuo a glare.

"Do you think that you can pull this kind of trick without drawing any consequences? You might just get expelled tomorrow if you were found out."

Jin Zhuo merely grinned in response.

"It wasn’t me personally who poured the herbal concoction into the tea. So what piece of evidence do they have to prove that I am guilty?"
