The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 190

Wei Lai was sitting on the sofa with an apologetic look on his face as he said to Qiao Sixiao with a smile:

"Teacher Qiao, I'm really sorry to disturb you. Mainly because the story Qin Wei told was so engaging that I didn't dare sleep alone tonight. I'll sleep on the sofa and not bother you."

"Wei Lai, we added a bed in the bedroom. You don't have to force yourself to sleep alone in the living room. Do you know that only a window and a curtain separate you from that wasteland..."

"Qin Wei, stop it!"

Qiao Sixiao and Wei Lai said almost in unison.

...

It was getting late. Qiao Sixiao didn't want to continue playing with the two childish people. She turned around and went back to the bedroom to lie down. Qin Wei and Wei Lai looked at each other, then both got up and entered the bedroom.

In the end, Wei Lai barely managed to occupy the newly added single bed. Lying on it, he looked at Qin Wei smugly and signaled her to go to sleep soon.

The next morning when Qiao Sixiao woke up, Qin Wei had already washed up and was eating breakfast. After washing up, Wei Lai sat down beside her and said:

"I still don't know what tricks they will play today. Being so unprepared before joining the crew makes me really nervous!"

Qin Wei nodded:

"The production team said we could communicate privately about things not classified. I think we can exchange some information to avoid always being confused and unable to respond."

Wei Lai also felt it made sense. As long as they didn't break the rules of the game, who wouldn't want to stay a bit longer. Being eliminated at the start was somewhat embarrassing:

"When we finished yesterday, they said there was a mole among us. Qin Wei, who do you think it is?"

Before Qin Wei could reply, Qiao Sixiao came over with breakfast and asked Wei Lai directly:

"Teacher Qiao, who do you think is the mole?"

Qiao Sixiao didn't respond. Instead, Qin Wei slowly opened her mouth after finishing her sandwich:

"There are four of us. With the three of us discussing this, it is unfair to Li Hanming. Also, whoever the mole is should have a confidentiality agreement in their script. So saying it would violate the rules."

Wei Lai looked at Qin Wei:

"With so much said, could the mole be you?"

Qin Wei nodded:

"It's possible. But everyone has one chance to make an accusation. You can try."

Wei Lai couldn't judge at the moment and fell into contemplation.

Qiao Sixiao walked over with two glasses of milk and put them in front of them:

"Eat well. It hasn't even started and you're already speculating. Drink some milk. You almost tired someone to death yesterday. Eat more before going today!"

"That makes sense. Unpaid overtime during rest periods is unethical. We can't overwork like that. Work when working, rest when resting, don't use your brain if not needed. Let's eat!"

As Qin Wei spoke, she gave Wei Lai another sandwich.

...

After arriving on set, the three of them separated. Today, Qiao Sixiao and Wei Lai had individual shooting schedules. Qin Wei also had some scenes but not many. She would join up with them later.

In the dressing room, while getting hair and makeup done, Qin Wei read the script at the same time. She felt time passed quickly. She had just received the script this morning and had just become familiar with it when shooting time came.

A crew member came over and asked:

"Teacher Qin, ready?"

Qin Wei nodded. Arriving on set, the day's work officially began——

After evading waves of pursuers, Qin Wei and Qiao Sixiao arrived at Jin Tang Bank. Before this, Qin Wei had no clues, but a tiny detail in her heart gave her a lead.

"Jin Tang Bank. What are we doing here?"

Reporter Qiao stood at the top of the steps, craning her neck to look at the tall Western-style building in front of her, and couldn't help asking.

"He asked me to come here."

Qin Wei was very certain.

Although there were only a few numbers on the letter, there was also a faint "Jin" character on the corner.

It was especially inconspicuous. If careless, it could have been overlooked.

A series of numbers could be a password. If he wanted to hand Qin Wei something, given the current turbulent times, perhaps this foreign bank was the safest choice.

Of course, these memories flashed through her mind, but facing the reporter beside her, Qin Wei didn't say anything extra. She walked up the steps into the bank.

Qiao Sixiao didn't ask again and walked silently beside her, also falling into thought.

"The news hasn't leaked yet. We have to get back that batch of goods before most people react. Comrade Nightingale must be cautious and not expose her identity! If necessary, kill Miss Qin. Our people will assist you."

To kill...

Reporter Qiao took a glance at the person beside her. She seemed to also sense her gaze and turned to smile at her.

...

Inside the bank, Qin Wei told the lobby manager Xu Hongen's name:

"Mr. Xu Hongen asked me to collect something."

The lobby manager got up to greet them. He knew the names of important clients by heart without needing to check, not to mention he recognized the arrivals, who were none other than the daughter of Deputy Commander Qin.

"Mr. Xu's safe deposit box is in the depository. Please come with me, Miss Qin."

The manager said as his gaze fell on the reporter Qiao beside them. Seeing her follow along, he hesitated somewhat:

"This is..."

Qin Wei glanced at Reporter Qiao and casually said:

"My friend. She'll come with me."

Only then did the lobby manager stop questioning and led the way for them.

The depository housing the safe deposit boxes was huge. They followed the manager past rows of boxes until finally stopping in front of one.

"Miss Qin, although you are the deputy commander's daughter, and we know your relationship with Mr. Xu, according to the bank's regulations, the password must be provided. Only with the password can the safe be opened..."

The manager apologized slightly:

"Do you have the password?"

"Of course."

Following the numbers from the letter, Qin Wei turned the combination lock. With a click, the lock opened.

The door of the safe deposit box opened slowly. The manager voluntarily stepped back to stand beside Reporter Qiao, deliberately revealing the dagger hidden in his sleeve to her.

He's...one of us?

Reporter Qiao didn't say anything, just glanced at him. He nodded slightly in response.

That confirmed it. The information she obtained said assistance would be provided if she chose to assassinate.

With just the three of them here, killing someone without discovery would not be difficult. They only needed to pretend nothing happened, take the item, and leave. After all, the organization would provide new identities. But that was unimportant. Completing the mission was enough.

This was a good opportunity, but to kill or not lied entirely on Reporter Qiao's thoughts.

Reporter Qiao shook her head. There was unwillingness in the manager's eyes, but he still put away the dagger and obeyed.

"Is...that all?"

Qin Wei took out the thin letter and checked inside the safe for any hidden compartments.

The result was that apart from the letter, there were no other gains.

Xu Hongen rented such a large safe deposit box at a foreign bank just to store a letter?

To use a letter to inform Qin Wei of another letter's location...

If it wasn't a boring prank, then the content of the letter was something Dr. Xu didn't want others to know...

Qin Wei looked back at Reporter Qiao and the manager. They retreated another half step unconsciously.

Qin Wei unfolded the letter. On it was still Dr. Xu's handwriting:

"Qin Wei, seeing you in writing is like seeing you in person..."
