Chapter 516 A Coincidence To Meet Each Other
At this time, at the filming site.
Evelyn had been hanging in the air for more than ten minutes.
Wes and Carrie were both extremely anxious. They tried all sorts of ways to save her, but none of them managed.
Because there was only one scene to film on the mountain today, only a few people were here at the scene. In addition to the lighting and props crew and cameramen, there were only a few male actors, a makeup artist and Wes.
The incident had caught everyone off guard.
Wes shouted to those people who were in charge of props, "Didn't you say you've done your inspection before? How did you do that? That's how you do things?"
Those people felt a little wronged and said, "Wes, we didn't bring the bridge here. It was early in the morning. We have no issue walking on it. How could we know that it would be broken once Evelyn walked on it?"
Wes was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
He turned around and asked his assistant, "Have you found anyone to help?"
The assistant shook his head in embarrassment. "Wes, the mountain is too far away and it's raining. The crane won't be here so soon."
Wes became anxious. "What about the martial arts crew? Ask them to bring the wire here to save her."
Wes' assistant was put on the spot.
"We're shooting a non-action scene today. Hence, none of the martial arts crew came over, because we have to travel light. The crew in charge of the props is unable to set up the wire-flying too. We..."
"That's enough!"
Carrie suddenly roared. She was so angry that her eyes turned red. She glared at the group of people who were pushing the blame on each other and who refused to take responsibility. She said angrily, "Are you still men? Evelyn has been hanging there for more than ten minutes. How long can she hold up in such heavy rain? Can't you find a way or someone to save her?"
The assistant glanced at her and did not speak.
Carrie said again, "If you don't have any equipment for wire-flying now, you can also use a rope. Tie it around your body and you can go down and save her. There are so many men here, and none of you is willing to do this?"
No one said a word, and they didn't even dare to look at her, avoiding Carrie's questioning gaze.
Upon seeing this, Carrie felt her heart sank.
At this moment, someone in the crowd whispered, "It is such a heavy downpour. The stones are wet and slippery. Who dares to go down without any protective measures unless they don't want to live anymore!"
Before the man finished his words, he was nudged in the arm and immediately shut up.
Wes's facial expression was sombre, but at this time, it was obviously not appropriate to force others to go down.
He said to his assistant in a low voice, "Call the crew immediately and ask them to send someone with tools to save people. Moreover, make a report to the police and see if they have any faster and more convenient ways to save Evelyn."
His assistant agreed and went to do as told immediately.
When Carrie saw this, she understood that no one would be able to save Evelyn for the time being.
Although they had informed the crew and the police, it would take at least half an hour to reach here. Who knew if Evelyn could hold on?
Overwhelmed with fear and shock, she began to cry.
As soon as Wes turned his head and saw her crying, he became even more annoyed.
"Okay, stop crying. It's okay. There's nothing to cry about."
Carrie cried while wiping her tears, "Evelyn has been hanging there for such a long time. How could she be fine?"
Upon hearing her words, Wes was a little worried as well.
Wes walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to find that it was so deep that he couldn't see Evelyn at all.
"Evelyn, how are you feeling? Can you hear my voice?"
After a long time, a weak voice came from below.
"Yes, I can."
Although this voice was very weak, it undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm.
Everyone couldn't help but shudder. Wes hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I've already sent people to retrieve the necessary equipment. They will come down immediately to save you. How much longer can you hold on?"
Actually, Evelyn couldn't hold on any longer.
The incident, the danger, and the heavy rain.
No matter if it was mental or physical strength, they were all close to the limit.
However, Evelyn still clenched her teeth, doing her best to shout upwards, "I can still hold on a bit longer."
Hearing this voice, Wes was immediately relieved.
"Okay, you must hold on. The person who is going to save you will be here soon."
Because the rock on a rainy day was slippery, no one dared to take the risk, so they could only wait for professional rescuers to come over.
Due to the time constraint, they had to act fast as this was really urgent.
At this time, Wes also let go of his prejudice against Evelyn. After all, she was a female actor in his crew, and she had to be saved no matter what.
He looked at the time and made a call again.
"How long more will it take for you to arrive?"
On the other end of the line, the rescue team was hurrying in this direction.
"At least 20 minutes."
"Can you be a little faster?"
"We are already at our fastest speed. Think of a way to delay some time first. Make sure she could hold on."
Wes scolded, "What way? What can we do? It's a matter of life and death. If she could hold on any longer, why would we be in such a panic?"
The person on the end of the line was also helpless. It was impossible for them to fly there. In the end, he hung up the phone after a series of angry curses.
Therefore, when Marty and his men arrived at the scene, what they saw was a total mess.
"Hey, what's going on? I thought you should be filming? Why are you all encircling the edge of the cliff?"
It was not long after Evelyn's accident, and the news had not yet been spread out, so the rest did not know it.
Marty glanced at Wes and recognized him.
His expression immediately turned glum as soon as an image of a woman flashed across his mind.
"We are not taking shelter from the rain here, let's go."
After that, he turned around and left.
When his friends who came with him saw this, they were all stunned and didn't know what was going on.
"Young Master Marty, don't do this. Why do you want to leave since you're already here?"
"Yes, it's raining so heavily that we can't find a shelter anywhere else. Except for the sheds here, we really have no place to take shelter from the rain. Think about it carefully."
Everyone tried to persuade him. It was obvious that they didn't want to leave.
Marty's facial expression darkened.
At this moment, Wes spoke.
He knew Marty. Although he wasn't familiar with him, he couldn't care less at this time.
He walked up anxiously and said, "Young Master Marty, fortunately, you are here. There is one thing you must help me with. You are someone of high social standing and powerful. As long as you are willing to intervene in this matter today, we can do this very quickly."
Before Marty could say anything, Carrie had already walked up to him. When she saw him, it was as if she had met her savior.
"Young Master Marty, you must save Evelyn. If you don't even want to save her, she is doomed."
Marty shuddered.
His facial expression changed greatly.
Marty had visited Evelyn several times when Carrie was around. Although she didn't know the conflict between them in detail, she knew there was something going on between the two of them.
