Chapter 588: 582, Take off! (First Update)_1

"Yuting, you really indulged yourself today," whispered Xia Yuting’s assistant in the nanny van as they drove home.

Xia Yuting’s assistant, who was six years her senior, usually helped her manage work matters like a big sister and had a comprehension of the industry that was no less than others. Therefore, she knew exactly who Xu Xiaowen was connected to and the kind of reputation Jiang Wensheng held in the trade.

The assistant shook her head and remarked, "Throwing that pot of golden soup hotpot on someone, that’s making an enemy for good. Do you think Jiang Wensheng is someone easy to provoke? He’s indeed banned several actors before. Isn’t Chen Da from your Central Academy of Drama one of them? It’s said that Xu Xiaowen used to be Chen Da’s girlfriend. Hey, do you think Jiang Wensheng banned Chen Da because he wanted to be with Xu Xiaowen...?"

Xia Yuting couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Sister Chen, how can you be so gossipy?"

"I’m just worried about you; your future is so bright," Sister Chen spoke earnestly, "Shall I have someone explain to Jiang Wensheng directly and smooth things over?"

"No need," Xia Yuting serenely refused, "There are certain things that, even if you want to keep them hidden in your heart and not let others know, you are aware of them yourself, and they are untouchable by outsiders. Since I’ve splashed Xu Xiaowen, so be it. To be honest, wearing a mask every day in this entertainment circle is truly exhausting. If they really want to ban me, then let them, I’ll just return home disheveled."

"You would give up your bright future just like that? What is your relationship with Ren He?" Sister Chen was shocked, seeing that Xia Yuting was indeed ready to be blacklisted!

"No relation," Xia Yuting hesitated for a moment before adding, "I guess we’re good friends."

Sister Chen looked at her with suspicion, "Good friends let you act like this? What if he wants to have something with Xu Xiaowen too? Aren’t all men the same?"

Xia Yuting suddenly turned to face Sister Chen beside her. The night light flickered on her face, making the emotions in her eyes indistinguishable, but her voice was resolute, "He’s different."

"Oh, oh, oh, how so different, haha, I teased it out of you, didn’t I? If you like him, just tell him. With your current status, looks, and figure, wouldn’t it be a cinch?" Sister Chen began to laugh, her probing having unexpectedly hit the mark, "If you like him, just tell him."

Sister Chen, gazing at Xia Yuting’s graceful figure and beautiful face in the night, thought to herself that if she were a man, she too might fall for such a stunner.

"It’s not an issue that can be resolved by status, figure, or looks," Xia Yuting spoke softly, "Please keep it a secret for me."

This kind of love indeed couldn’t be settled by status. Sometimes Xia Yuting wondered, if she were born a couple of years later and in the same class as that young man, would she have had more opportunities?

Probably not... after all, even back then Ren He’s ostensibly ordinary exterior concealed a majesty that had been recognized by many.

Maybe the difference between herself and Yang Xi lay in the fact that the latter was more otherworldly.

Now, that young man had already become a dazzling star, and all she could do was silently wish him well.

Seeing that Xia Yuting didn’t want to continue the topic, Sister Chen changed the subject: "Do you know why Xu Xiaowen was looking for Ren He? That woman is notoriously opportunistic; must be something came up. Should we ask your classmate about it?"

"No need, I can’t interfere in his business," Xia Yuting shook her head and looked out the window.

"I heard Qinghe has set up Qinghe Film and Television; haven’t you..." Sister Chen probed.

"No," Xia Yuting decisively replied, quietly adding to herself, He didn’t invite me.

Admirers should have their self-respect too, right? Xia Yuting laughed inwardly. She, Xia Yuting, would never demean herself to the dust for a man.

...

"I’m already on the helipad, all equipment is ready. Erbao, how are things on your end?" An Si was on the helipad closest to XiaoZhai Tiankeng, where the helicopter was parked. Ren He was resting with his eyes closed, conserving his energy.

Liu Bao had already gone into the mountains ahead of time. It was not only Ren He’s helmet and the helicopter that needed cameras, but cameras also had to be placed inside the Tiankeng. The aim was to capture Ren He’s moments parachuting into the Tiankeng from the sky, as well as the shots before and after he landed.

No matter how many times he had shot before, Liu Erbao always had extremely high standards for his filming quality and wouldn’t tolerate even the slightest carelessness. If extreme sports were Ren He’s creed, then producing astonishing videos was Liu Erbao’s.

Everyone’s path is different without being high or low in status. Ren He never felt that Liu Erbao, who was shooting on land, was in any way inferior to himself, the thrill-seeker.

Without the cooperation of Liu Erbao’s team and An Si, Knight would not enjoy today’s glory.

Glory is something that makes others heart race with excitement just thinking about it.

Then from the phone Liu Erbao shouted, "Give me a status report!"

Followed by the echo from the mountains over the phone, "Camera position two ready!"

"Camera position three ready!"

"Camera position four ready!"

"Camera position five ready!"

The road to XiaoZhai Tiankeng was exceptionally difficult to travel, and Liu Erbao and his team had to reach there in advance. They even had to descend to the bottom of the pit with the help of professionals from TK by following ropes to set up cameras. Despite such tough conditions, Liu Erbao managed to set up five cameras in one go!

This video had been negotiated with TK not to be released for the time being. At the same time, Ren He hadn’t yet disclosed his full plan to them, so both Liu Erbao and An Si thought that Ren He was still just going to glide into the Tiankeng after opening his parachute pack.

In fact, the two difficulties were worlds apart, and Ren He’s real plan was even more terrifying for the average person.

Even Ren He now needed to close his eyes and gather his strength to calm the nervousness in his heart... as well as a certain kind of exhilaration.

After entering the Tiankeng, he would only be about 500 meters from the ground. At this point, opening the parachute pack would cause him to drop another 50 meters, then he would break through the minimum safe altitude to deploy the chute!

Those who are not very daring would get sweaty palms just standing at high altitudes, let alone engaging in such a skydiving stunt.

Liu Erbao, inside the Tiankeng, yelled over the satellite phone at An Si, "I’m ready on my end, we can start at any time!" A flash of excitement crossed his heart. How long had it been since he had seen the thrilling and pleasing stunts of Ren He?

An Si was concerned about Ren He’s safety, while the more straightforward Liu Erbao had absolute faith in Ren He’s skills, unreserved trust.

An Si jumped onto the helicopter, sitting next to Ren He with his headset on. He felt that there might be some variables in today’s plan, but he didn’t know where the changes would come from.

But with things having come this far, amidst the roaring hum of the propellers warming up, An Si shouted at the pilot, "Take off!"
