CHAPTER 539: CHAPTER 459: LIN XIAOXIAO IN TROUBLE

Film set

The movie Lin Xiaoxiao was working on was a big-budget commercial production, featuring an ensemble cast of stars. It was the year’s biggest project, with co-stars who were either established movie kings or rising ones, and even the cameos were by top-tier celebrities.

This particular scene was an action sequence. With everything ready, Lin Xiaoxiao was waiting for this shot to be completed. She was already fully outfitted, with her harness checked twice to ensure there were no issues, and was simply waiting for her cue to enter the scene.

"Sister Xiao Xiao, although the props master said everything is fine, I think you should still be cautious during the move later."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled calmly. "Don’t worry."

As a professional actress, even though she was already a major A-lister, Lin Xiaoxiao understood the importance of diligence and professionalism expected of an actor. After confirming no problems, she gestured an "OK" sign to the director.

"Alright, wrap up this shot. Next scene, Lin Xiaoxiao on set."

As soon as the director finished speaking, all eyes turned to Qin Miaomiao. She was dressed entirely in black, with harness cables secured to her, ready to start at any moment.

"Ready, action!"

The two staff on the other side began pulling the harness cable. Lin Xiaoxiao leaped gracefully, rising gradually from the ground to mid-air with a stunningly heroic demeanor. Her expressions and movements were perfectly synchronized with the script.

Just as she was preparing to land, she felt a wobble behind her.

"Ah!"

With a sharp scream from Lin Xiaoxiao, the harness malfunctioned, and she plummeted from the air.

Her assistant froze in shock.

"My leg, my leg hurts so much..."

Lin Xiaoxiao’s moans drew everyone on the film set toward her. They rushed over to examine her injuries, watching in alarm as she clutched her left leg, moaning incessantly, tears streaming down her face from the pain.

"My leg... could my leg be broken..."

Her panicked assistant hurriedly dialed for an ambulance. The set fell into utter chaos.

Media and reporters stationed outside the set heard the commotion inside and, without hesitation, began taking frenzied photos of Lin Xiaoxiao as she was carried out by staff. Wearing a mask and a baseball cap, she was strapped to someone’s back, instantly becoming the focal point of attention.

When Qin Miaomiao saw the news coverage, she rushed to the hospital. In no time at all, nearly every entertainment news outlet was taken over by reports about Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Yao Guang Entertainment’s Lin Xiaoxiao throws a diva tantrum, forcibly makes staff carry her off the set. Stay tuned for further updates."

"Actress Lin Xiaoxiao suffers disastrous fall during filming, fate still unclear."

"Was this a crew error or Lin Xiaoxiao’s own reckless mistake?"

"Delay in production—could Lin Xiaoxiao be kicked out of the project?"

Qin Miaomiao watched the endless flood of reports pouring in, her gaze turning colder by the second. In such a short time, the news had not only spread fast but was also rife with rumors claiming Xiao Xiao’s leg injury was far more severe than reality.

Everything seemed meticulously orchestrated.

"Little Seventh, have Little Fourth look into those IP addresses. Also, send someone back to the set. I need to know whether this was sabotage or an accident!"

"Yes, Young Madam."

Outside the hospital, reporters crowded the entrance. However, Qin Miaomiao had no patience to deal with them, opting to enter through the back door. Inside the VIP ward, Lin Xiaoxiao’s assistant immediately approached her, exclaiming, "President Qin, Sister Xiao Xiao’s leg is fractured, but instead of proper coverage, the media is spreading nonsense. It’s outrageous!"

The furious assistant nervously studied Qin Miaomiao’s expression, noticeably apprehensive. She knew that Sister Qin and Sister Xiao Xiao were close friends, and with Sister Xiao Xiao both injured and smeared, Sister Qin was undoubtedly irate on her behalf.
