My Healing Games

Chapter 43 His eyes were terrifying.
Several victims' family members calmed down as they looked at Han Fei standing in a pool of blood.

Ten years of waiting is both a long and a short time.

Time is long, and the victims' families are slowly growing old; their physical strength and energy are not what they used to be. They begin to worry that if they pass away, no one will still seek out the real culprit and avenge their loved ones.

Time is fleeting, and these mere ten years are not enough for them to forget the pain of losing their family members. Just a little recollection will wake them up in the middle of the night.

“Alright, I believe you.” Wei Youfu’s father was the first to step forward: “Whether you’re doing this to comfort us or you’re genuinely sincere, at least I know you are indeed investigating the real culprit.”

The old man had met Han Fei once at his home; Han Fei had gone there to investigate with Li Xue that time.

He didn't say anything more, but just patted Han Fei on the shoulder: "Be careful."

The other victims' family members also put down their banners and slowly left the filming location.

After they all left, Jiang Yi rushed to Han Fei's side: "Is your back alright? Does it still hurt? Where's the props team? Come quickly and change Han Fei's clothes!"

"It's nothing." Han Fei didn't care about the blood all over his body; he had experienced things far more terrifying than this.

"We're sorry you had to suffer like this; we never expected it to turn out this way."

"Director Jiang, I don't care if I suffer or not, but there's something I have to tell you." Han Fei turned to look at A Cheng, who had just gotten up from the ground: "This drama can't be filmed like this. If you insist, I will not only withdraw, but also help the victims' families to boycott it."

As soon as Han Fei uttered those words, the surrounding staff were surprised. They all regarded Han Fei as one of their own and thought that Han Fei was just talking casually.

"Are you serious? I thought you were just comforting them." Jiang Yi got some new clothes from the props department and wanted to hand them to Han Fei, but Han Fei didn't take them.

"You taught me at the New Shanghai Film Academy, so I should call you teacher. But teacher, are the movies you're making now really the movies you wanted to make?"

“You’re probably not as old as me, so you don’t really understand it yet. Sometimes you have to learn to compromise.” Jiang Yi noticed something was off about Han Fei’s tone: “You’re not really going to quit because of this, are you?”

“I used to care a lot about acting, but now I’ve discovered many things that are more important than acting.” Han Fei took off his blood-soaked coat: “I suggest you wait until the case is solved before you start filming. If you force it like this, even if you manage to make it, it will be a bad movie.”

"Hey! What do you know?" A-Cheng got up from the ground. After talking to his agent, he became angrier and angrier: "I thought you were some big shot, but you're just a nobody extra?"

"I'm not a big shot, nor am I just an extra; I'm an actor," Han Fei said calmly, looking at A Cheng.

"What works do you have? What shows do you have? Tell me your name so I can learn from you?" Acheng didn't dare to meet Han Fei's gaze, and looked away with a disdainful expression.

"We're all on the same side, let's not fight amongst ourselves," Jiang Yi tried to mediate.

"Who's on his side? He's just an extra and he's acting all superior? Didn't he just say he was quitting? Let him quit then. Does he really think the world revolves around him?" Ah Cheng is a vengeful person. Han Fei just said his acting was terrible. Although that was the truth, the truth is often the most hurtful.

"Say less! If Han Fei hadn't blocked it, that bucket of blood you threw would have hit the victim's family! Our film would definitely be affected, and your company would probably have to spend a lot of money on public relations." Jiang Yi knew this industry well, and that's why he didn't want to let Han Fei leave. Han Fei was the best actor in the whole film.

After reprimanding Acheng, Director Jiang walked over to Han Fei and said, "This case has dragged on for ten years without catching the murderer. I don't know how much longer it will take to solve the case. Even if I can wait, what about the company that invested in our show? The crew of over a hundred people is waiting to eat. Han Fei, be realistic."

"This guy's a lunatic, so obsessed with acting, he really thinks he's the son of the victim's family!" Acheng was extremely dissatisfied with Han Fei: "He even said he'd help the victim's family boycott the case if the script wasn't changed? What does he have to do with this case? Is he out of his mind?!"

"Whether I'm involved in this case or not, you'll soon find out." Han Fei glanced at A-Cheng, who was hiding in the crowd, with the same look he gave A-Cheng as if he were looking at a corpse, which made A-Cheng shudder.

"Are you involved in this case?" Ah Cheng recalled Han Fei's look from earlier, and cold sweat broke out on his brow. "Could you be a fugitive murderer? Someone who...killed seven people?"

"Han Fei, I still hope you can help me finish filming this drama. We can change some of the plot according to the requests made by the victim's family." Jiang Yi completely ignored A Cheng. He himself didn't like A Cheng either, but he couldn't replace A Cheng because the other company had invested in him.

“You’ve gone down the wrong path from the start. If you keep filming like this, it’s destined to be a terrible movie.” Han Fei changed out of his blood-soaked coat. “Director Jiang, you gave me a chance when I had no other roles, so I sincerely hope that our drama can be well-made, instead of being criticized. In a while, the case will make a breakthrough, and then you can give the drama a perfect ending, which can also be considered as giving the deceased some closure.”

"You're just an extra, where do you get the audacity to pontificate? You're just a tiny cog in this machine. If you don't learn humility, you'll never get ahead." Acheng's agent also stepped forward, offering Acheng words of comfort and concern, before hurling insults at Han Fei.

"Stop arguing!" Director Jiang's voice rose; he was already annoyed enough.

“Jiang Yi, I know he was once your student, but the way you treat us is so different, isn’t it?” Acheng was full of resentment: “Don’t forget, I am the main character of this drama. This drama can do without anyone else, but without the main character, you can’t film anything.”

After he finished speaking, he waved to his agent and said, "Let's go."

Ah Cheng left the filming location. Rather than leaving early, he was more afraid of Han Fei and didn't want to stay there any longer.

After the two ran out of the apartment building, the agent quickly grabbed Ah Cheng and asked with some concern, "Ah Cheng, is it really okay for us to just leave like this?"

"Don't worry, I'll just leave them hanging for a few days. Once they realize they can't do without me, they'll naturally come back to me. Then I can ask for more conditions and reluctantly agree." A-Cheng's face revealed a fierce expression: "That damn extra, I'll find a way to squeeze him out. Who does he think he is?"

Hearing Ah Cheng's words, the agent felt a little uneasy: "Ah Cheng, what if they don't come looking for you?"
