Ye Mo snapped out of his reverie and said, "Happy? Of course I'm happy..."

Zhou Xiaoyu: But your expression doesn't look happy at all.

"Sister Momo, are you waiting for someone?" she asked again.

Ye Mo looked at her in surprise, "How did you know I was waiting for someone?"

Zhou Xiaoyu pouted and said, "You've looked towards the door several times since you arrived!"

She held up two fingers and pointed to her eyes, saying, "My eyes are really sharp; they've been watching you Sister Momo, Sister Momo. I know what you're thinking! So, Sister Momo, who are you waiting for? Is anyone coming?"

Hearing her question, Ye Mo's thoughts drifted away again, and he casually replied, "... I wasn't waiting for anyone."

Meanwhile, the props team searched but couldn't find Wu Jianrong and his nephew, which made them somewhat puzzled.

"Where did Brother Wu go?" someone asked. "And what about Wu Fang? Has that girl gone off somewhere to slack off again? Tsk, I really need to have a serious talk with Brother Wu about this girl. She doesn't do any real work all day, all she does is slack off. Everyone else is working, but she's the only one who knows how to be lazy. What kind of behavior is that?"

"Who told her to be so lucky, having Brother Wu as her uncle?" someone said sarcastically, clearly harboring resentment towards Wu Fang for a long time.

Someone else said, "I saw that Brother Wu and Wu Fang both went out... I don't know what happened. Brother Wu was in a hurry when he went out, and his expression wasn't good."

However, no one really knew what the uncle and nephew had gone to do. After discussing it for a while, they couldn't come to a conclusion and so they gave up.

If Ye Mo overheard the props team discussing this, she could roughly guess where the Wu family uncle and nephew had gone. However, at this moment, her mind was not on the set; it had already drifted off to some unknown place.

She wondered, "I wonder if the police have caught that person yet..."

Clearly, the appearance of the three police officers was inextricably linked to Ye Mo.

Ye Mo also found it amusing. She thought that no matter what that person thought, they would never have imagined that Ye Mo possessed the cheating system 888. Someone seeking revenge against her was nothing more than a "melon" (a metaphor for something easily exploited). Therefore, when the other party conspired with Wu Fang to "scare" her, 888 told Ye Mo everything, even saying:

[That man lied to Wu Fang, saying the paper package contained something that could intensify the fire. He was completely lying; it Mingming contained explosives and bombs. He wanted to kill you outright!]

What could Ye Mo do after being "spoiled"? Of course, he would call the police and ask them for help.

Ye Mo naturally couldn't reveal that she possessed a system; she could only vaguely and mysteriously tell the police, "... I foresaw all of this!"

Then, she almost got "asked" to leave the police station because she was suspected of having paranoia.

In response, Ye Mo could only change his story. "Actually, I overheard it. I heard they were going to harm me... If you officers don't believe me, send someone to our film set that day. They plan to blow me up with a bomb. When you see the bomb, you'll know if I'm telling the truth!"

The police were naturally skeptical, but considering the safety of Hua Country citizens, they couldn't ignore even the slightest possible danger. So, the police station sent three officers over.

Originally, there was only one, but Ye Mo was worried and repeatedly said that it was a vicious madman, so the police station sent two more.

"Miss Ye, I hope you haven't made a false police report." The police officer at the station said to Ye Mo meaningfully, "You should know that making a false police report is a crime."

To this, Ye Mo assured him with absolute certainty, "Don't worry, my word is as true as pearls!"

Then, today, three policemen appeared beside Ye Mo Ye Mo as her bodyguards. Ye Mo gave a plausible reason, saying that she was worried about any accidents that might happen during filming, and having bodyguards around would make her feel more at ease.

"So much trouble..."

Of course, some people had their own opinions, but Director He had already agreed, no one else had any reason to object.

Wu Fang was unaware that she had been under police surveillance since the beginning of the day. Her action of placing the paper package on the shelf was clearly seen, and after she left, the contents of the package were switched by the police officers.

Therefore, no bombs or grenades were seen exploding during the subsequent fire.

Now, three police officers are chasing Wu Fang out, and Ye Mo doesn't know if they've caught the culprit yet. Naturally, he hopes the answer is yes.

Just as Ye Mo was thinking this, someone suddenly rushed in from outside the film set.

"Who are you?" the crew member asked immediately upon seeing the stranger. "Non-staff members aren't allowed in here!"

The newcomer did not answer, but walked quickly inside, his eyes scanning the area rapidly. As for the staff members who tried to stop him, he ruthlessly brandished the knife in his hand.

Upon seeing the knife in his hand, someone immediately exclaimed, "Ah! He has a knife!"

The staff member who was about to step forward to stop him paused, and in that pause, the young man found Ye Mo sitting in the chair. He immediately fixed his gaze on Ye Mo, his eyes revealing an extremely fierce and resentful look, and strode towards Ye Mo.

He clearly had ill intentions. When some members of the crew tried to stop him, he wildly waved the knife in his hand, shouting, "Get out of my way! Anyone who dares to come near me, don't worry about me, I won't be polite!"

Those who had stepped forward to stop him couldn't help but take a few steps back. After all, the other party had a knife, and they were unarmed; how could they possibly win?

Director He strode over and shouted sternly, "What do you think you're doing? Is there no law in broad daylight?"

Seeing the man pointing a knife at Ye Mo, Director He shouted anxiously, "What are you all standing there for? Go and stop him! He's alone, and there are so many of you. Are you afraid of him?"

Upon hearing this, the agitated and frightened people came to their senses, and finally someone gritted their teeth and prepared to step forward to stop them.

However, once the young man spotted Ye Mo, he had a clear goal and ran straight towards Ye Mo. At first, no one knew who his target was, but by the time they realized it, it was too late.

"Sister Momo!" Realizing the person was coming for Ye Mo, Zhou Xiaoyu spread her arms to shield Ye Mo and cried out in panic, "Sister Momo, run!"

Ye Mo watched her retreating figure, feeling both touched and amused—what could Zhou Xiaoyu, with her small frame, possibly stop?

Seeing the young man charging towards him with a knife in hand, Ye Mo's eyes turned cold, and he shoved Zhou Xiaoyu aside.

The young man drew closer, and when he was a few steps away from Ye Mo, he suddenly raised his knife high and slashed at Ye Mo's face.

Ye Mo was very close to him, close enough to see the ferocious expression on his face. He was probably already imagining the gruesome sight of Ye Mo covered in blood after his successful strike. Excitement and elation flashed across his contorted face.

Ye Mo watched, then suddenly smiled sweetly at him. She spun around, using her left foot as the center of gravity, raised her right foot, and delivered a spinning kick.

Bang!

Ye Mo kicked the man directly in the right cheek.

The young man felt a sharp pain in his right cheek. Before he could even react, he was kicked away, flying more than two meters before crashing to the ground with a thud.

"Bang!"

Upon hearing this sound, everyone present felt a phantom pain in their cheeks, as if they themselves had been kicked in the face.

They stared silently and in shock at Ye Mo, who had withdrawn his foot. A chill ran down their spines as they couldn't help but wonder if they had ever offended Ye Mo before.
