Qiangzi's face was very swollen.
Qiangzi Qiang was heartbroken and tugged at Fang Nuonuo, saying, "Pay up! You have to pay up! If you hadn't made my grandson act, would he be in this situation?"
Fang Nuonuo's face was still hurting, and she was currently using ice to reduce the swelling. She didn't have time to talk to them, so she could only quickly give her assistant a meaningful look.
The assistant quickly came over and pulled the family away.
Although many viewers have now guessed that Qiangzi is a plant hired by Fang Nuonuo.
But many viewers still refuse to admit it!
Therefore, we still shouldn't let them talk too much in front of the camera.
The assistant pulled Qiangzi's family away and gave them two thousand yuan.
"We promised you a thousand, but since you're injured, we'll give you two thousand. Get out of here now! Otherwise, you won't get a single penny! Actually, we didn't want a little boy in the first place! If your little girl had come, nothing would have happened!"
Qiangzi's father immediately took the money.
After the assistant left, Qiangzi stared longingly at the money. "Well, at least the trip wasn't a complete waste."
Qiangzi's father only earns about two thousand yuan a month after taxes.
His son came for a few hours and received two thousand; that's pretty good.
But Qiangzi's father's eyes gleamed with greed.
"Two thousand isn't enough! I just checked online, this variety show is the most popular in the country, with tens of millions of viewers. How much does that cost? You think you can get rid of us with just two thousand?"
Even Qiangzi's grandmother was persuaded.
After a brief discussion, Qiangzi immediately got to work.
She grabbed Qiangzi and ran straight to the filming location.
However, this time the production team called security, and the security guards threw them both far away again.
Qiangzi's grandmother sat on the ground and rolled around, shouting, "My grandson acted for you, so you have to pay him! I checked online, and other actors can earn 2.08 million a day filming! We don't need that much, one million is fine, give us the money!"
The production team had anticipated this.
Director Zhao immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and instructed, "Post-production staff, post-production staff, cut this kid out of the footage right now."
Qiangzi was at a loss for words.
Qiangzi's dad, who was standing nearby, immediately panicked!
Qiangzi made this trip just to become famous.
He was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that once the show was available, he would brag everywhere that he was a celebrity dad.
I can't believe they just deleted it like that?
Qiangzi's father immediately stepped in to play the good cop.
Qiangzi's father said to the director in a very amicable tone, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. My son is too young to understand, and my mother is too old to understand. How could we possibly ask for money? It's just that the child was beaten like this, it's so pitiful, so we were thinking of asking for some medical expenses..."
Director Zhao personally dismissed the liability waiver he had just signed. "I've already informed you of the risk of injury during filming!"
Qiangzi's father gave an awkward laugh.
Qiangzi's grandmother snatched the agreement, tore it up, and roared, "Pay up!"
Director Zhao took out another copy. "Photocopy, tear it up as you like. We plan to call the police now, they'll probably arrive in twenty minutes, so you can tear up the paper for another twenty minutes."
"..." Qiangzi's family originally thought that the production team must be rich and powerful, and that they would immediately give it to them in order to settle things peacefully.
Who knew that not only would they refuse to give it to me, they would actually call the police?!
Qiangzi's mother was so angry she almost had a stroke.
They knew the contract was still in effect and they were in the wrong, so they quickly grabbed Qiangzi and ran away.
-
Su Mian and Duan Xuanyu, who had been watching from the sidelines, shook their heads in unison.
It's a pity that a fight didn't break out.
Suddenly, Yin Xiaohong waved to Su Mian from not far away.
Su Mian got up and went over.
Yin Xiaohong told her that the person who deliberately put the needle in her clothes had been found; it was a staff member from the filming location.
He also damaged those roller skates.
That person has now been apprehended and taken to the police station.
The needle was also sent for testing.
That person claims to be a hater of Su Mian, and he did this simply because he dislikes Su Mian.
In recent years, with stricter regulations, news of extreme anti-fans causing harm has become rare.
But when they were rampant in the past, they used all sorts of vicious methods.
Stalking and threatening at home, throwing acid to disfigure celebrities, sending celebrities the carcasses of abused animals to intimidate and curse them...
Needle pricking is also a common method they use.
It's not as simple as just getting a prick. Those needles could very well be carrying hepatitis B or C viruses, or even syphilis or HIV.
Fortunately, Dai Qing reminded me.
Su Mian thanked Yin Xiaohong.
Yin Xiaohong smiled and comforted him, "Don't thank me. Don't worry about this. The production team will find the best lawyer to sue him and make sure he rots in jail. Go film your scenes, it's your turn again."
Su Mian nodded and returned to the scene to prepare.
Suddenly, that premonition of death came back to her...
-
This time, a little girl died.
In a farmhouse courtyard, Qiangzi's grandma, Qiangzi's dad, and Qiangzi were sitting at the table eating, while a little girl served them rice.
Qiangzi suddenly shoved the little girl and yelled, "It's all your fault! Otherwise, they would have chosen me to be a big star!"
Qiangzi's grandmother slapped the little girl across the face. "Get out of the kitchen! Seeing you brings bad luck!"
The little girl, her face filled with fear, shrank back and went to the kitchen.
Qiangzi's father didn't say a word, but went over and put a lock on the kitchen door.
Although it wasn't locked, it definitely couldn't be opened from the inside.
In the middle of the night, the little girl suddenly started banging on the window, screaming desperately, "Daddy, Grandma, let me out! I can't breathe..."
The kitchen's only window was too high for the little girl to reach.
Soon, there was no more movement in the kitchen.
The next day, Qiangzi's grandmother went to open the kitchen door, grumbling and complaining that she had been noisy the night before and hadn't gotten up to cook breakfast that morning.
When they opened the door, the little girl was already motionless. Qiangzi's grandmother quickly went to call Qiangzi's father to handle the situation.
They were quite flustered and scared at first when they were dealing with it.
But when Qiangzi's grandmother said, "... anyway, she's not his biological daughter," Qiangzi's father promptly buried the little girl.
-
Su Mian carefully recalled the way the little girl had died, as she had sensed it.
bulging eyes, cherry-red lips, and a dark red complexion are all signs of carbon monoxide poisoning.
There were still burning honeycomb briquettes in the kitchen.
She was so young, she probably never knew until her death that this was what caused her breathing difficulties; otherwise, she could have put out the fire and saved herself.
Su Mian thought about it again... If it really was as she guessed, her ability would only be activated to repay kindness when she received a favor from someone and that person happened to be in trouble.
So what she's repaying today... is most likely Dai Qing's favor.
Dai Qing said that ten years ago, not long after she got married, her husband passed away and then her daughter went missing.
I have a feeling the girl is around ten years old.
Could this be her daughter?
Dai Qing's voice suddenly came. " Su Mian, are you ready? It's about to begin."
Su Mian walked up to her and asked softly, "Director Dai, is your daughter around ten years old? Does she have a mole on her right cheek?"
Dai Qing was taken aback. "How did you know?"
Even if these two points match, it doesn't necessarily mean she is her daughter.
If she says yes directly, and then turns out she's not, she'll just be giving people false hope.
Su Mian thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday we went to a village to film a program, and I saw a little girl in that village... she's the Qiangzi family who just came."
"They treated that little girl very badly, and I found out she wasn't their biological child. But I'm not sure if she's your daughter..."
Dai Qing looked at her gratefully. "Thank you for telling me. I'll go check tonight. Over the years, even if there was only the slightest hope, I would have gone myself. I'm not afraid of being disappointed time and time again; I'm only afraid of never hearing from her again..."
