Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 781 - 782: You Will Regret This!

This place had already become a battlefield shrouded in gunsmoke. If there was a way to leave, who wouldn’t want to?

But despite their utmost effort, they could not leave.

Fang Yu said coldly, "You should be grateful that you’re an Overseas Chinese and have the chance to leave this place. So many people want to leave but can’t. You can leave but choose not to, what are you trying to do?

Play that individualistic game of your generation’s youth?

Do you think you can become a savior?"

Heh, the truth? In places buried by war, there is no truth!"

Li Xiaoxiao still had a stubborn look on her face, "I can’t leave!"

Fang Yu stared at her coldly, "Give me a reason."

Li Xiaoxiao clenched her teeth and said quietly, "I discovered a terrorist organization. They are plotting to create a new viral bomb. I overheard their members discussing it, and I’m certain this information is absolutely true.

L country has a population of 1 billion; medical services are primitive. Once the new virus spreads here, they will have no chance for treatment!

This place is the perfect breeding ground for testing the virus. I must stop this! Once the virus spreads, it’s not just L country, it would be a disaster for the whole world!"

Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly, he said lightly, "That’s just your side of the story. You can’t find any evidence to prove your words. Even if you report it to the soldiers, they won’t treat it as an emergency."

Li Xiaoxiao became anxious, "It’s because they don’t believe it’s true that I must stay here. I’m a journalist; I can try to take pictures and send those to them. With evidence, they will believe!"

Fang Yu said, "Photos can also be meticulously staged and manipulated; what you capture might not be real. Even if they confirm what you say is true, the matter should be handled by the L country’s government. Other countries can’t just act unilaterally."

Li Xiaoxiao grew furious at his words, pushed him hard, and cursed, "Fuck, are you even a man?"

She gave Fang Yu the middle finger and said with disdain, "At the end of the day, you’re just a coward. I will stay here; I’m not afraid at all. I will make sure the truth of this matter is uncovered. The people have a right to know, and you can’t hide it from us!"

Fang Yu, pushed by her, dusted himself off indifferently, and shouted, "Soldier!"

Li Xiaoxiao paused, looked around, and wanted to run, but just after taking a few steps, she was caught by the soldiers.

"Let me go, let me go now! I have the right to freedom of movement; you have no right to restrict me. I can go wherever I want, let me go!"

Fang Yu looked not at her, but toward the soldier, "Take her away."

Li Xiaoxiao was lifted off the ground, flailing her arms and legs wildly, struggling mightily, and shouted:

"Let me go, I’ll sue you for illegal detention! Let me go, you bastards! You’ll miss the chance to uncover the truth, you’ll regret this..."

Fang Yu watched the scene of her being dragged away, saluted her as if to say—Farewell!

"Cut, good, let’s move on to the next scene!" Director Qian quickly shouted, also sighing in relief.

This part of the film wasn’t particularly difficult, but for some reason, since the shooting began, Gong Hongyu seemed a bit off; his expressions weren’t quite right or he’d forget his lines, making minor mistakes all along. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

This take was already the fourth one, but fortunately, it was finally over.

The next scene was He Jinxia’s solo act; she was being pressed into a car by soldiers, trying desperately to find a way to escape.

The soldiers feared that she would escape and still had her hands tied; fortunately, Li Xiaoxiao had lived in the war-torn country of L for two years and had picked up a few tricks.

She had hidden a small razor blade in her shoe and secretly took it out while driving, relying solely on this blade to cut through the rope.

The scene that was filmed next showed her hands holding the blade, slowly cutting the rope bit by bit.

Because the blade was sharp, she had to be very careful. Fortunately, He Jinxia was quite flexible; even though her hands were tied behind her back, she could twist her arms and perform some difficult movements, cutting the rope very successfully.

Once the rope was partially cut, the crew replaced it with a new one that had already been tampered with and was half-cut.

He Jinxia took the knife to cut it again, and after filming a few shots, the crew replaced the rope again, this time leaving it barely holding together.

He Jinxia carefully applied pressure, grinding the blade bit by bit, and pulling with her hands, fearing that she might accidentally cut herself too, so the rest of the crew watched her every move without blinking.

When the rope was finally cut loose, she kept pulling with force, and the moment it loosened, her hands were immediately freed, allowing her to move.

The other Overseas Chinese in the car were all resting with their eyes shut, and Li Xiaoxiao quietly sat in her seat, waiting for an opportunity.

The opportunity came soon after, as the car stopped briefly midway; she seized the moment, jumped out, and secretly ran away!

She ran for three hours!

Three hours later, when the soldiers providing escort handed out dinner and counted the people, they found the count was off by one. After careful inquiry, they realized that Li Xiaoxiao had escaped.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaoxiao, in a secluded village, found a cow and stole it, using it to ride toward her destination according to the map.

A fierce fire blazed in her eyes—nobody could stop her from uncovering the truth!

She didn’t think she could be a savior or stop the spread of the virus, but she simply wanted to document everything; one day, these photos would serve as first-hand information to guide everyone.

Was the turmoil in L country truly due to factional differences?

Was foreign intervention really about maintaining peace?

Was the development of the new virus genuinely orchestrated by terrorists?

Could this impending disaster that would sweep across the world be stopped by anyone...

For her, all these questions held immense allure; she was a person willing to risk her life for her ideals, even if it meant death, she would have no regrets!

"Cut! That’s a wrap!"

In the crew, following Director Qian’s command, the other staff members quickly started packing up the filming equipment, their faces breaking into smiles.

He Jinxia took the makeup remover that Luo You offered her and started removing her makeup.

To match the image of someone who had finally escaped by all means necessary, He Jinxia’s makeup was designed to look grimy and made her appear unclean at first glance.

Even He Jinxia herself felt a bit itchy after applying it, as if she had smeared something dirty on her face.

Fearing a skin allergy, she hurried to remove her makeup as soon as Director Qian called it a day.
