We asked you to make an anti-corruption film, but you made one in the name of the people!

Chapter 92 Supreme People's Procuratorate, Ministry of Public Security, Supreme People's C

The two entered Han Ming's home—a small living room with an old, peeling sofa and unwashed cups piled on the coffee table.

Production assistant Xiao Liu raised the clapperboard: "Scene 33, Take 1, First Scene—Snap!"

Ma Li was folding clothes by the coffee table, her hands moving and her mouth chattering non-stop: "Han Ming, let me tell you, your son got into a fight at school today. Are you going to do anything about it?"

Lei Jiayin came in from the doorway, changing her slippers as she said, "I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it, okay?"

"You think you can interfere? You said you could interfere last time too, and what happened? You left again the next morning without even saying goodbye!"

"There's a case going on—"

"Case! Case! Case! What else do you care about besides cases?" Ma Li threw the neatly folded clothes onto the sofa. "Are you ever going to come back to this house?!"

When she said that, her voice suddenly went hoarse for a moment, not in a dramatic way, but very softly—the kind of hoarseness you get when you talk too much and catch your breath.

But at that moment, several people in the shed held their breath at the same time.

Lei Jiayin stopped, looked at Ma Li, remained silent for several seconds, then walked over and sat down next to her.

He didn't hug her, didn't apologize, he just sat next to her, very close but didn't touch her.

After a long while, he spoke: "Go back."

Just one word.

Ma Li turned to look at him, her eyes reddening, but she didn't cry.

"Click." Lin Mo called out.

The set was silent for a full three seconds.

Then Lin Mo stood up and said two words: "Very good."

Ma Li jumped up from the sofa, her almost tearful expression vanishing instantly. She grabbed Lei Jiayin and exclaimed, "It's done! It's done! Director Lin said it's great! Lei Jiayin, that last word, and that gesture—I almost couldn't catch it!"

Lei Jiayin chuckled: "I just saw how angry you were, and I felt that Han Ming should say something, but he couldn't say it—that's just the kind of person he is."

"So you spent all that time just managing to come up with a single character, '回'?" Ma Li laughed heartily.

"What else?" Lei Jiayin shrugged. "You want Han Ming to say sweet words? He's not that kind of person."

Zhao Liying watched the entire scene from the sidelines, and then said softly, "Arguing without hurting feelings, that's what a good couple is at acting."

Gao Ye nodded vigorously beside him.

Jin Chen suddenly slapped his forehead: "That's right! We've been here so long chatting and watching the show—let's take a group photo!"

She took her phone out of her pocket and held it high.

Li Yitong immediately moved closer, while Gao Ye stood on the other side of Jin Chen.

Zhang Yixing was pulled over by Jin Chen, Wang Chuanjun stood in the back row, Zhao Liying was pulled to the middle by Jin Chen, and Ma Li and Lei Jiayin also squeezed in.

"Director Lin! Director Lin, you're here too!" Jin Chen shouted to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stood up from behind the monitor and walked to the edge of the crowd.

"Middle, middle!" Ma Li pulled him to Zhao Liying's side.

Old Sun ran over with his camera: "I'll take the pictures! I'll take the pictures—you guys squeeze together! Okay—three, two, one—"

"eggplant!"

Click.

The photo freezes in time.

In the very center are Zhao Liying and Lin Mo, to the left Jin Chen is hugging Gao Ye and Li Yitong, to the right Lei Jiayin and Ma Li are still bickering, and in the back row Zhang Yixing and Wang Chuanjun are standing side by side, with the background being the corridor of the procuratorate, and warm yellow lights shining on everyone's faces.

At 4 PM, Li Yitong posted a Weibo message with the caption: "Visiting the set of Director Lin's new film, so happy~!"

The accompanying picture is that group photo.

Within ten minutes of being posted, the comment section exploded.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, is this the set of 'Article 20'?!"

"Zhao Liying is in the very center?? She's wearing a white shirt without makeup?? This is the first time I've ever seen her dressed so plainly!!"

"Jin Chen, Zhang Yixing, and Wang Chuanjun went to visit the set!! The 'All or Nothing' crew is here!!"

"Where are Teacher Fan? Teacher Xu Yajun? Teacher Zhang Yi? Aren't they in the frame?"

Lin Mo: I was forced to work.

"Zhang Yixing has gained weight again, her face is rounder, shouldn't she be joining a film crew after finishing filming the variety show?"

"Wait a minute, did you guys notice—the one next to Zhao Liying in the prosecutor's uniform is Gao Ye?? Zhao Liying's sister-in-law is playing a prosecutor??"

"Gao Ye: In 'The Storm,' I was a gangster's wife, and in 'Article 20,' I was a prosecutor. It's like going from thief to soldier, hahaha."

In less than half an hour, #LinMoAndTheSceneOfTheEverOnSet# immediately rose to the top of the trending searches.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Chen also posted a video on Douyin.

In the video, she holds up her phone and laughs at the camera: "I came to visit Director Lin on set today! I brought barbecue and milk tea! I watched Brother Lei and Sister Gao's scene together, and they nailed it in one take!! Director Lin is still the same Director Lin, fast, accurate, and steady."

She turned the camera around and filmed the set behind her—Lei Jiayin was sitting on a stool eating chicken wings, Ma Li was drinking milk tea and scrolling through her phone next to her, Zhang Yixing was squatting in front of the monitor watching the finished film playback, Wang Chuanjun was standing next to Lao Zhao chatting, and Zhao Liying was sitting in the corner flipping through the script, muttering to herself.

The video caption reads: "The 'All or Nothing' team visited the set of 'Article 20'! Director Lin's new lineup is amazing!!!"

The comments section exploded again.

"Jin Chen, this video of yours is packed with information—I could laugh for a year at the scene of Lei Jiayin eating a chicken wing."

"Zhang Yixing is squatting in front of the monitor watching the playback!! Is he learning directing from Director Lin, hahaha?"

"Wang Chuanjun is chatting with Lao Zhao—Lao Zhao is Director Lin's go-to executive director, they must be talking about 'Dying to Survive'!"

The Supreme People's Procuratorate's Douyin account has also been active.

Xiao Chen, who manages the account, reposted the group photo that Jin Chen had posted, adding a new caption: "On the set of 'Article 20,' old and new friends gathered together. The law cannot yield to illegality." He added a serious emoji afterward.

Netizens are laughing hysterically again.

"Even the official account of the Supreme People's Procuratorate is starting to piggyback on the popularity of its own director, hahaha."

"Supreme People's Procuratorate: We have Lin Mo. Ministry of Public Security: We've used him too. Supreme People's Court: We're involved as well. All three: We share resources."
