Chapter 1629: Chapter 809: The World’s Attention

She also didn’t know how much longer the movie would need to wait.

Suddenly, Hugh Redman sent her a message: Xiao Yun, thank you for speaking up for me online, but things are getting more complicated now, so you don’t need to defend me on the internet anymore. No one cares what the truth is.

Zhou Yun felt particularly uneasy reading Hugh Redman’s message.

She said: Hugh, it’s definitely not that no one cares what the truth is; it’s that someone is deliberately confusing the truth, misleading too many people. We cannot give in. The truth is what it is. We say what needs to be said, curse when it’s needed. We have an old saying in China: "To struggle against heaven, against earth, against man is endless joy." We absolutely cannot give up!

On Hugh Redman’s side, "typing" kept flashing, but after a long time, nothing else came from Hugh Redman.

Zhou Yun wondered if her words had scared Hugh Redman.

But she really liked that saying "To struggle against heaven, against earth, against man is endless joy."

This spirit of not conceding, not compromising, fighting to the end, yet being incredibly open-minded is something Zhou Yun hopes to maintain for a lifetime.

The news of Zhou Yun engaging in a slanging match on Instagram quickly spread throughout the crew.

This also created an unexpected effect: everyone suddenly realized that this beautiful-looking, nice Chinese girl is actually quite daunting.

Zhou Yun could feel a slight reverence from everyone towards her while filming on set.

Zhou Yun found it both amusing and absurd.

The filming of "Killing Song" continued to proceed methodically. Of course, by methodical, it means there was no interference from external factors affecting the crew’s filming. However, Tim Lang and the crew members often encountered some issues to resolve during filming and had sudden ideas to implement. This would change the crew’s original shooting plan. Nevertheless, everyone kept resolving problems and completing the filming.

That day, Zhou Yun had a scene with Hugh Redman and Lew Xi.

In the movie, the three of them briefly formed an alliance, along with Nakajima Hoto’s character.

And Chris Pine’s character captured Nakajima Hoto, intending to bargain for Lew Xi’s antidote, threatening to kill Nakajima Hoto by the next morning unless the antidote was delivered. Before this, Lew Xi had shot an arrow at Chris Pine, which was poisoned.

It was at this point that the three of them argued.

Hugh Redman disagreed with delivering the antidote to Chris Pine.

"We can’t do it; we absolutely can’t do it." Hugh Redman said, "We’ve finally got the chance to kill him, and delivering the antidote now—will we have another chance to kill him next time?"

Lew Xi said, "But Nakajima Hoto is in his hands now. Are we not going to care about her?"

Hugh Redman said, "We were only temporarily allied. Save Nakajima Hoto, and then what? How do you know Chris Pine won’t set a trap, just waiting for us to come over so he can capture us all!"

"Nakajima Hoto is our ally! She was captured by Chris Pine to save you!"

Hugh Redman said, "So what? This game is about killing everyone; the person left standing at the end is the winner! You think our alliance is permanent? Forget Nakajima Hoto, even between you, me, and her, we’ll have to confront each other eventually!"

Lew Xi’s expression changed.

The time spent together had nearly made Lew Xi forget this harsh reality.

"Hugh, they made it clear—it’s the last one remaining who is the winner, not the last one alive," Zhou Yun said. "We don’t have to kill everyone."

Hugh Redman sneered, "Do you? Do you really think playing on words will let you leave this damned game? My brother was a casualty of this game! Don’t think the game’s designer is kind-hearted; that’s nonsense! He is cruel, inhumane! Do you think you can win this game by knocking everyone down, not killing them? You win, you leave, but the others will remain here, and they still won’t have the chance to leave, they’ll die eventually!"

Zhou Yun fell silent, her eyes glimmering with a faint light.
