Chapter 744: Tartaglia in a Wheelchair
……
Just like that, because Morris was successfully drunk by Shao Yun, the subsequent filming process went extremely smoothly. No unexpected situations occurred and no time was wasted.
When Morris slowly woke up, it was already afternoon.
He slowly opened his eyes and felt his head aching as if it was about to split.
He covered his forehead with his hands, looked around, and found that the crew members were cheering and celebrating something.
Morris looked at all this in bewilderment, struggled to sit up from the table, staggered to a staff member, pointed at the crew who were packing up their equipment, and asked in disbelief: "Filming... is over?"
The staff member couldn't help laughing at Morris' drunken appearance and replied, "Yes, it's completely finished!"
"The negatives have been processed and turned into projections."
Morris was shocked. This was bad. It had already become a complete mess. How could he make trouble?
But in order not to show it too obviously, he nodded with a smile and congratulated: "Really? That's great, great..."
……
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the streets of Fontaine, giving the city a light golden hue.
Xavier, Funina and Qianzhi, escorted by Shao Yun, are about to hand over the finished film to the Yingying Review Committee.
Xavier, Funina and Chizhi walked into the committee's office, handled relevant procedures and answered questions from the review committee.
Shao Yun stayed outside the house, quietly waiting for the three people.
Just as Shao Yun was waiting bored, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure not far away.
It was a man sitting in a wheelchair, his legs in plaster and his head wrapped in bandages, looking a little disheveled.
Shao Yun looked closely and found that this man was none other than Tartaglia.
Shao Yun showed a playful smile and teased Tartaglia who was passing by: "Hey, isn't this the famous Tartaglia? Long time no see, why are you in a wheelchair?"
Tartaglia, who was moving over in a wheelchair, seemed to have lost all his means when he heard Shao Yun's teasing tone.
"Mr. Shao Yun, you are really good at making fun of me. After all, I am the hero who saved Fontaine! Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard, right? Can't you praise me a little?"
Upon seeing this, Shao Yun uttered a rare kind word.
"Well, I wish you a speedy recovery and a happy Thousand Spirits Day."
When Tartaglia heard Shao Yun's blessing, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"thank you."
However, this relief did not last long.
Just three seconds later, Shao Yun changed the subject and said sarcastically in a cold tone: "But my evaluation of you is still as bad as ever."
Tartaglia's smile froze on his face instantly, and he said self-deprecatingly: "Well, I shouldn't expect to hear any good comments about me from you."
Shao Yun looked at Tartaglia's embarrassed and self-deprecating expression and commented: "It's good that you have self-awareness."
"I'll come see you when I'm done. Are you living in the Buffati Mansion or the Northland Bank now?"
Dardalia responded: "Buffati Mansion, I have been blacklisted by the rich."
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun began to look around.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "By the way, where is Alechino? I thought she would be pushing your wheelchair in the back and taking you around."
When Tartaglia heard Shao Yun asking about Alecino, she looked at Shao Yun in confusion and asked, "Alecino? Why do you think she will be with me?"
Shao Yun stretched out his hand and waved it casually in the air, trying to explain his thoughts clearly.
"I just thought she would take care of you like any other patient. After all, I saw Linnie for a while before and he was in a similar situation to you, so I took it for granted that she would take care of you as a child of the Hearth House."
At this moment, Speak of the devil, here comes Alechino's voice suddenly coming from behind Shao Yun.
"If Tartaglia is really taken care of by me, he will lose all face among the Fatui."
Shao Yun turned around, a slightly awkward smile on his face, and said in a fake smile: "Aha, I told you, Tartaglia can't go out alone."
Seeing that Shao Yun thought that he was now Tartaglia's guardian, Alechino quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I'm not the young master's guardian."
"I was just strolling around and buying some gifts for the children during the Thousand Souls Festival. After all, the children rarely receive gifts after the death of the 'lady'."
"I want to make the children happy during the holidays... What about you? What are you doing?"
Before Shao Yun had time to answer Alechino's question, Funina walked out of the Fontaine Film Association.
"Okay! The finished film has been successfully submitted to the Thousand Spirits Film Festival's judging committee! What's next..."
Fernina had only said half of her words when she suddenly noticed Alechino and screamed in fright.
"Ah! Servant!"
Alechino looked at the blue cake "Funina" that suddenly appeared in front of her with interest, revealing a wicked smile.
She licked her lips slowly and said in a chillingly gentle tone: "Oh? Hello, Ms. Funina, happy Thousand Souls Day."
Furninna was trembling with fear at Alechino's presence.
She nodded tremblingly and stammered in response: "Happy Thousand... Thousand Spirits' Day!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Nina quickly hid behind Shao Yun, tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, lowered her voice, and said to Shao Yun anxiously:
"Shao Yun, let's go, hurry up!"
Shao Yun naturally understood that Finina was afraid of Alechino, but he chose to do the opposite.
Not only did he not leave with Funina immediately, but he said jokingly, "Why are you leaving? Xavier and Chizhi haven't come out yet."
Seeing Shao Yun's eager look at the excitement, Fu Nina said anxiously, "Oh, let's go quickly and come back later!"
Shao Yun, however, did not seem to intend to let Funina off easily, and deliberately teased her: "What are you afraid of? It was you who stood on the bed, pointed at Alechino's nose and scolded her!"
"Where's your courage?"
When Fu Ningna heard Shao Yun mention that incident, she still felt a little scared.
How could she be so brave at that time? Looking back now, she still finds it incredible.
"Don't mention that again!" Furninna shouted angrily, "If you don't leave, I'll leave first!"
Before she finished her words, she ran away without looking back as if her feet were greased.
Alechino looked at Fernina's fleeing back, smiled with interest, and said thoughtfully:
"It seems that I left a huge psychological trauma on Ms. Funina."
Shao Yun nodded and agreed, "More than that... I bet that Funina's worst nightmare right now is that you snatched her cake and ate it in front of her."
After listening to Shao Yun's description of the nightmare, Alechino was a little unconvinced and thought, what kind of nightmare is this?
"What kind of nightmare is this?"
……
After the finished film was handed over to the review committee, a celebration banquet began in the evening.
The location is still the coastal village in Cangjing District.
Since it was a celebration party for the completion of filming, the pregnant Ying also came to attend.
Although the celebration party was very lively, Ying's physical condition was not suitable, so Shen He kindly accompanied her for a walk on the beach.
At this time, Shao Yun was alone enjoying the various delicious dishes prepared for the celebration banquet.
While he was eating, Xia Wole suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost, with a look of pretended ease on her face, and said softly: "Mr. Shao Yun, can I ask for your help?"
Shao Yun was still chewing meat, looking at the mysterious Xia Wo Lei with some surprise, and asked casually: "Oh? What's the matter? So mysterious."
Xiawolei did not answer directly, but pointed to the house not far away where the photographic equipment was stored, and said in a low voice:
"Please hide in the warehouse over there for a while, and I'll find a suitable time to come out and control the situation later."
Shao Yun swallowed the skewers in his mouth. Although he was full of doubts, he readily agreed: "Okay, I won't ask you the reason. Anyway, even if I ask, you will definitely not tell me."
After saying that, he put down the food in his hand, stood up and walked towards the warehouse.
……
Following Xia Wole's instructions, Shao Yun walked into the warehouse, found a box in the corner, hid behind it, and pressed his body against the box.
Time passed minute by minute, and Shao Yun waited quietly.
After a while, he heard a slight noise and Paimon flew in, holding a camera tightly in his hand.
Paimon hid behind a box next to the door and adjusted the camera's angle, ready to record everything that happened next.
After a while, the door of the warehouse was slowly pushed open, and Xiao Gong and Mr. Morris walked in.
Xiao Gong's steps were a little hesitant, and Mr. Morris looked a little nervous.
Shao Yun observed their every move through the gap in the box.
What happened next, there was no special change.
……
Just as Morris was pleading guilty, something unexpected happened.
Veronica sneaked into the warehouse quietly. Her goal was clear: to kill Mr. Morris who was sitting in the corner.
Veronica raised the rifle in her hand, aimed at Mr. Morris, and prepared to give him a fatal blow.
Just as she pulled the trigger, a bullet whizzed out and flew straight towards Mr. Morris.
However, unexpectedly, Xiawolei raised the rifle in her hand as fast as lightning and blocked the bullet shot by Veronica.
The bullet hit the rifle, making a crisp sound and sparks flying.
Veronica was startled by this sudden change, but she quickly regained her composure, quickly replaced a new bullet, and pointed the rifle at Xiawolei again.
Xia Wulei turned around and pointed the rifle in her hand at Veronica without showing any weakness.
"Put the gun down! Veronica."
Veronica held the rifle tightly and shouted without flinching, "Why? Why are you stopping me from killing this beast!"
Xiawolei did not answer. She stared at Veronika and repeated, "Put the gun down! I won't say it a third time."
Veronica shook her head and calmly analyzed: "Xiawolei, I know your gun is very fast, but now that we are aiming at each other, you can't gain any advantage."
"This Maurice is a complete devil. He killed my mother. I can't let him get away with it."
