There were only 3 minutes until the motorized wire rig malfunctioned!
Moreover, he couldn’t rely on Lumi to save the day like before, lest Xeraphi’s AI discover her!
Without absolute certainty in defeating Xeraphi’s AI, exposing Lumi’s existence was equivalent to letting Xeraphi’s AI know someone on Blue Star was aware of the Xeraphi Civilization!
Furthermore, Blue Star would likely face relentless cyber attacks once Xeraphi’s AI felt threatened by Lumi’s existence.
As such, Lumi couldn’t be exposed, not unless she was fully capable of delivering a decapitation strike on Xeraphi’s AI!
Time ticked, and Lin Haoren’s heart raced, his mind also spinning quickly.
Yunxi Village didn’t have many action scenes, let alone many risky scenes that required actors to be suspended high in the air.
However, the current world setting was a high-martial world, and the current scene involved a battle between Hunter-Hero Lin Tian and Bandit Leader Heihu Wang.
In order worlds, a battle between Shen Beichen and Qin Feng.
To showcase the grandeur of high martial arts, it wouldn’t be strange for accomplished martial artists to be capable of leaping over 5-10 meters high.
’Hold on!’
Lin Haoren’s heart thumped, suddenly thinking of something.
Qin Feng would break his neck from a fall due to a motorized wire rig malfunction, but what about Shen Beichen?
What about the extras playing the other bandit roles?
Lin Haoren couldn’t help but fear that the Daily Intelligence’s information might be incomplete.
Perhaps Qin Feng would die from his fall, but others would only sustain injuries.
Since that might be the case, it was fine to focus on Qin Feng.
Lin Haoren recalled the story and remembered there was one scene where Bandit Leader Heihu Wang leaped over 5 meters to use Earth-Splitting Cleaver.
’That must be the scene coming up,’ he figured based on his observation.
Lin Haoren glanced at the ticking time, the motorized wiring rig, and then repositioned himself, drawing closer to Qin Feng’s location without interfering with the filming.
He made a rough calculation of the time needed to reach Qin Feng.
"Lin Tian, you brat! You’re too arrogant! Taste my Earth-Splitting Cleaver!" Qin Feng spoke roughly, immersed in his role and unaware of the impending danger.
He made a big leap, quickly soaring in the air under the pull of the wires.
However, before his body reached the peak of the scripted leap, the pulling force disappeared, prompting his body to free-fall head-first toward the ground!
The unexpected accident caused Qin Feng’s heart to explode with the fear of death.
"Ahhh!"
"Teacher Qin!"
"Brother Feng!"
"Xiao Feng!"
Multiple voices cried out amidst Qin Feng’s scream.
No one was prepared for such an accident to take place. Thus, no one could react—no one, except one person, Lin Haoren.
The moment he heard the weird sound coming from the motorized wiring rig, his body immediately darted forward.
His steps were light, but he moved quickly, covering over 15 meters in a short instance. Before everyone else could react, he had already entered their field of vision.
Qin Feng’s free-fall lasted barely a second before Lin Haoren broke his fall with Taijiquan, redirecting and dissipating the falling momentum with a fluid, rotational movement.
Qin Feng inexplicably found his feet safely planted on the ground under the astonished gazes of everyone.
"Teacher Qin, are you alright?" Lin Haoren asked with concern, breaking the brief silence.
Qin Feng had no idea who Lin Haoren was, but he felt immense gratitude and relief, having narrowly escaped a potentially fatal disaster.
"Little Brother, you really saved my life this time! I don’t really know how to thank you. From now on, you are my brother!" Qin Feng said firmly, roughly hugging Lin Haoren’s shoulders with gratitude.
His heart still had some lingering fear from the fall. He didn’t dare imagine what would have happened if Lin Haoren hadn’t caught him.
Even if he had miraculously survived the fall, his life and career would likely have been over due to the crippling injury.
In fact, with his muscular build, no one in the film crew could have broken his fall. Even if they did, they risked injuring themselves in the process.
As such, Lin Haoren’s successful maneuver was nothing short of divine intervention.
"There’s no need for thanks. It’s what I should do, Teacher Qin," Lin Haoren said humbly.
"What Teacher Qin? That’s too distant! Call me Brother Feng!" Qin Feng said with feigned anger.
"Alright, Brother Feng," Lin Haoren smiled.
"That’s more like it!" Qin Feng grinned.
Before long, they were quickly surrounded by concerned members of the film crew. They also sang praises to Lin Haoren’s heroic rescue.
"Brother Lin, you were too awesome just now! How did you do it?" Su Xiaoran stared at Lin Haoren with adoration.
"Was that Taijiquan?" The Action Director, He Zhanpeng, asked.
Lin Haoren nodded, and the eyes of multiple people lit up with amazement and respect.
"Xiao Feng, are you really alright? Do you feel pain anywhere?" Director Guo asked with heavy concern.
"I’m really fine, Director Guo. No pain whatsoever," Qin Feng grinned.
Guo Yiming nodded, then turned to Lin Haoren.
"Thank you, Xiao Ren. Not only did you save Qin Feng, but you have also saved our entire production," he said solemnly.
The production couldn’t afford delays.
Qin Feng’s crippling injury or death would have ruined the entire production.
"I was just lucky enough to be nearby," Lin Haoren said.
’Just luck?’
Fang Lihua smiled silently.
She had been paying attention to Lin Haoren and noticed all of his small actions. There was no such thing as luck.
His series of actions suggested he knew what would happen in advance. Even so, the actual save wasn’t any less impressive.
The skillful use of rotational movements to break Qin Feng’s fall was very natural and fluid.
This wasn’t something a beginner in Taijiquan could do.
Nevertheless, Fang Lihua didn’t expose Lin Haoren, nor did she doubt his motives. She wasn’t so old that she had gone senile; she still trusted her judgment of people.
Most likely, Lin Haoren caught wind of someone’s plan to sabotage the production and came to prevent it.
"Director Guo, although everyone is fine, I suggest we suspend the filming to check all of the equipment. The motorized wiring rig’s malfunction is unnatural."
"Check! Definitely have to check!"
Fang Lihua’s reminder made Guo Yiming’s anger flare up. He would be a fool if he didn’t suspect there was foul play.
They have never cut any corners, so how could the motorized wiring rig malfunction?
Someone must have tampered with the equipment!
They’d better not let him catch that bastard! Otherwise, he would show them just how big his fist could be!
