356 This Movie Has Such Interesting Names (1/2)

An itinerary was not as private as one's mobile, laptop, or USB. How many scandals could arise from the loss of an itinerary?

The leak of work arrangements, other than the possibility of being mobbed by crazed fans, would not lead to anything more serious. However, Long Mingxin's situation was slightly different. He was the main character of the movie, so his schedule was basically the shooting schedule for the entire film crew. Where to set up the scene, which studio they were using, just by looking through Luo Mingxin's itinerary with the help of several behavioral psychologists, one could grasp such information easily.

Therefore, to prevent any sensitive information from falling into the hands of Luther's people, Ye Shuang thought that it was best for Luo Mingxin to retrieve his itinerary. Thankfully, after Luther was taken back to Madam Grace's lair, the man's bodyguards were too busy trying to find out a way to save their boss to care about the two cars abandoned in their ground.

Furthermore, one of them belonged to Madam Grace. Who would be so brave as to take advantage of her‽

”So sorry for troubling you, Madam. We'll go and find your people in a minute. Mainly, it's because one of my friend's personal items has been left inside the car, and we would like to retrieve it.”

After Ye Shuang went into the room to change her voice to make the call, Han Chu outside found a familiar police officer, and the latter was giving Luo Mingxin's assistant his phone number. After the local police got the car back from Madam Grace, the officer would contact Luo Mingxin's assistant to take it back.

”This sure is troublesome.” After dealing with everything, Ye Shuang could not help but sigh. ”So, we're asking the police to help a member of mafia negotiate the return of the cars from another member of the mafia. Will the local police just capture all of them with this opportunity?”

”They won't because there's no evidence,” Han Chu said calmly. ”Even though everyone knew what was happening, they can't do much without evidence. As long as they don't push too far, everyone will pretend like nothing's wrong. After all, there's the embassy and the law watching over them.”

If they pushed it too far, even though it still would not make a civil case, once they provoked the agents, it was not beyond the agents to 'make' a few accidental deaths. The assistant was sent away to pick up the car, so Luo Mingxin was given a ride by Ye Shuang to the set. This was perfect because Ye Shuang planned to go there as well.

…

The director was screaming, but this was perfectly normal. Other than the rare occasion when the shooting was running smoothly, the director was always screaming. So, other than the actor who was named to be scolded, everyone else had mastered the ability of ignoring this. They would laugh and continue with their lives, provided that their laughter was not too loud and attracted the director's ire.

”This is our crew's 3D printer.” While the director was exploding, Luo Mingxin led Ye Shuang to a dark room. There were a mess of props cluttering up the room with some space cleared around the machine in the middle. The corner next to the machine had several bags and paper boxes. Ye Shuang opened a random one to look, and it was filled with printing material. Blocks of nylon, twines of resin, and the most interesting one was some metallic dust.

”This can work with metallic materials?” Ye Shuang reached in to touch the dust. She rubbed on it and frowned.

Luo Mingxin nodded. In his acting costume, he leaned against the half-closed door. One, this was easier for communication, and two, he was on the lookout. ”A 3D printer on the market costs around 20,000 RMB and 100,000 RMB at most, but this one here costs about 3,000,000 RMB… There's not much of a market for items like that.”

Ye Shuang sighed as she looked around. She found an old computer covered in cloth. She plugged in the power and pulled the cloth back. While she operated the machine, she asked, ”Your Prop Manager has been detained already, so who is currently operating this machine? Are the new blueprints for the props needed by the crew designed on this computer?”

Luo Mingxin did not stop her. ”Yes, they now use this computer, but I don't think you'll be able to find anything. Other than using it to print stuff, the staff come to play games on it, so if there was a hidden secret, it would have been exposed already.”

”That might not be true.” Ye Shuang pouted and logged into QQ to summon Anthony. A techno whiz like Anthony was online twenty-four hours a day. In less than half a minute, he replied, and Ye Shuang explained the situation to him. The next minute, the control of the computer was taken over.

Abandoning the computer, Ye Shuang stood up to tell Luo Mingxin, ”We'll need to give Tony some time to go through the files. When's your next scene?”

They opened the door wider, and the director's roaring drifted over clearly. Luo Mingxin listened for a while and shook his head. ”From the sound of it, there's still some waiting to be done. It won't be my turn for some time.”
