“But it was not the voice of Leonel. What happened?”
Everyone flocked over together. Elva stood unmoved and paused. She was so angry that she was on the edge of losing her temper. She thought hatefully, ‘Bitch, how could you escape from it?’
“Help! Help! Someone gave me money and asked me to do it. He told me that it was a girl inside. How would I know that it was not?”
A man with white paint on his face and dark shadows beneath his eyes was also wearing a mask made of bloody lips and sharp teeth. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. He wore a zombie suit similar to the Qing Dynasty, pretending to be a ghost. He was indeed looking like a ghost.
The photographer considered it a bad situation and wanted to stop shooting. Lucy secretly pinched him and gave him the hint to continue to record the video.
“What did he tell you to do after giving you the money?”
Hazel joined the interrogation. She put on a mocking smile. It was easy to figure out who did it in such an old-fashioned way. It was Elva’s work.
“He asked me to pretend to be a zombie. That’s it.”
As he spoke, the man raised his hand and jumped to the ground. Everyone got mixed feelings.
The zombie guy took advantage of the night and jumped out the window to hide.
Leonel was harassed and subconsciously fought back, so the man was beaten up and fell to the ground, crying for a long time.
The director glanced at Elva and thought that he had to solve this mess reasonably.
Someone had to take the blame. Otherwise, if the news was spread, the audience would know that someone was targeting Hazel and the program would not be able to continue.
At the crucial moment, he had to find a way to cover up this matter.
“Couldn’t it be you who sent such a man to play a trick on them?”
Aliyah was confused. She looked at Leonel with worship. He was no doubt the best actor in Kung Fu!
The zombie man was hit in succession. When he saw Leonel, he was still trembling. He bounced back a few steps and covered his face with his hand. He dared not to face the camera.
“Director, was the man sent by our program team?”
Bob clenched his fists. He did not believe that it was such a coincidence. Why did the man sent by the program team appear in Hazel’s room? If she did not change her room with Leonel…
Elva winked at the director, indicating for him to admit it. There was such a part of the program that was treated as a joke. It was better than sending Elva to the police station. In the end, she would be the one who ordered the confession.
How did Wendy carry out the plan? Why did she find such a stupid person? He was just a joke.
“It was set up by our program team. It meant to be funny.”
The director coughed awkwardly and explained to everyone. However, Bob did not accept such an explanation.
“What’s so funny? A man appearing in a girl’s room at midnight would scare anyone, right?”
Bob glanced at Elva and Aliyah and asked the director, “Why did no zombies appear in their rooms?”
Elva gave a dirty look at him. Of course, it was to scare Hazel. The program team could see it. The story would be over if no one tried to dig out the true reason.
“Then why was Leonel in Hazel’s room?”
The program team had already arranged their rooms. They should inform the director about it. Aliyah glared at Hazel unhappily. She hated Hazel not because of Elva, but simply because she hated girls who were prettier than her.
“So what?”
Leonel, who had been silent all this time, walked to the director and said indifferently, “If I didn’t show up, would the man harass Hazel? Was it your so-called trick?”
Everyone widened their eyes and thought it over. There must be some secrets!
“Could it be that the man wasn’t arranged by the director? Could Leonel have been harassed?”
There were also Leonel’s fans on the program team. They looked at the zombie man resentfully and wished they could press him down and beat him up.
“It was nothing. But you can imagine it yourself.
“I want to quit the TV show,” Leonel added unhappily. He looked straight at the director and said word by word, “Director, I want to quit now.”
“What?”
The director did not expect it to be so serious. He thought it over and seemed to tell the truth.
If Leonel withdrew from the show, not only would the viewership rating decline greatly, but the shooting team would also be doubted by the media. If the investors withdrew their investment, the program would most likely be canceled.
Elva was only to teach Hazel a lesson. He thought that it was nothing serious. He did not expect such an end. It was unlucky to happen to Leonel.
“Let me go. I won’t dare to do it again. Besides, I’m not interested in men. I’m not in that mind.”
The zombie guy saw that it was so serious and cried out. Because it was a temporary decision made by the program team, Wendy did not have much time to prepare, so she found such a silly guy who was not professional at all.
It was much more disappointing to have a silly mate than to have a skillful enemy. Elva finally understood the meaning. The current problem was serious. The director did not seem to be willing to take the blame because of Leonel.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Aliyah pointed to the zombie man’s robe, which was open on both sides, and could see his leg hair. She had to admit that he looked very funny.
“Zombie guy, you don’t seem to be wearing underwear.”
Taking advantage of the time when the director was frowning and trying to persuade Leonel, Aliyah carefully observed the zombie man and lifted his robe with her finger. She was horrified to find that he wore nothing inside.
The rainy night was cold. With so many people watching, the zombie man looked desperate at that moment. Someone sent him and asked him to dress like a zombie. He was told to rape a female star at night and he would get 200 thousand as a bonus afterward.
He was a man of no good from a nearby village. He was lazy and didn’t even have a job. When he heard that he could get so much money, he immediately agreed with the plan. Someone promised him that there was no problem for him to do it. A girl would not dare to scream when she was harassed.
In the past, there was a crew in Gikalle Village who came to shoot a film. He had been an extra, so he was quite familiar with it. There were no ghosts at all. It was just rumors spread by the villagers. When the crew came to rent a house, they would get a large sum of money.
The zombie man had sneaked into the female actors’ rooms many times at night to harass them, and Sally, the Pure Queen, had been harassed by him before. He thought it was nothing serious.
Moreover, when the crew came, he would sneak in and steal things from time to time. He would always succeed.
“I may make another decision if you don’t want me to quit. But give me an explanation.”
Leonel was tough. He thought that it was reasonable to ask for an explanation. And at the same time, he was also seeking justice for Hazel.
The director wanted to be honest, but it was all arranged by Elva. If he told them the truth, he would be blamed for hurting Hazel, which was not good for his reputation.
“How about it? The truth is not clear yet. Let’s investigate it first.”
The assistant director took out a small handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead. No one wanted to see it at midnight. They could wait until dawn.
Offending Leonel meant offending a large number of fans. The director suddenly remembered that his wife and daughter were all fans of Leonel. He had to find the best solution.
Leonel didn’t quit, and Hazel gave up asking for an explanation. When the matter was settled down, someone took the blame and everyone treated it as an accident. It was then nothing serious.
There were still two to three hours before dawn. After the accident, no one could fall asleep. Before Leonel caught the zombie man, he called the police in advance. The police could probably arrive at dawn.
No matter how the program team replied, Leonel didn’t intend to move on easily. He participated in the show to break through himself and let others understand the real him, instead of becoming a target for others to play a trick on.
“Hazel, it’s all thanks to Leonel tonight. Otherwise…”
Otherwise, if a zombie man appeared at midnight, no matter what he did, Hazel would be hurt.
“You are right.”
It was all thanks to Leonel. Or the zombie guy might be killed by her. If he harassed her, she would have directly pulled out the knife under the pillow and the little electric baton that Baron gave her. She was not sure if the zombie man would still be able to jump around and beg for mercy at that moment.
Everything that happened in Gikalle Village was sent to Baron through the hairless filming tool on Hazel.
What Elva and Wendy had done touched his bottom line. Just like the Plum Blossom Organization, they repeatedly tested his bottom line.
“Dave, contact the familiar media and spread the news that Leonel was raped by a man.”
The news had to be more horrifying than the fact. Baron wanted to make use of it to fight back.
