Chapter 184
Chapter 184 Draven Is under Suspicion
As soon as William finished speaking, he became more serious. “Do you remember the specific
situation at that time?”
Coby shook his head. “I’m afraid I can’t tell you exactly what happened, but I’m sure that there’s
nothing wrong with my protective equipment before it dives into the water. Moreover, someone dragged
me into the water after I was washed into the water.”
His head got hurt and he choked on water. The doctor’s diagnosis was that he had a slight concussion,
so it was normal for his memory to be chaotic.
He couldn’t remember how many people entered the water, who was closer to him, and when the
ident happened. He only vaguely remembered that someone was pulling him, trying to sink him
into the water.
The production team had the investment of XR Entertainment, and Jaquan also said that he could help
them if theycked money. All the protective equipment was bought with a lot of money, and it was
impossible for there to be quality problems.
Moreover, before he went into the water, he and the director had repeatedly checked all the
equipment. A person might miss one or two pieces of clothes. Would there be an ident since they
had checked over and over again?
What was more, Coby’s equipment was ced separately, He was the protagonist and had a high
social status. Safety protection was the most important thing. It was impossible for the protective rope
to be broken on his body.
In addition, Coby said that someone had dragged him in the water after the rope was broken. It could
be concluded that someone in the production team had been bribed and was targeting him.
“Leave this matter to me and Jaquan. You’re injured now. Have a good rest.”
William’s face was grave, and he restrained hiszy attitude.
Coby nodded as well, and then he revealed a weak smile. “With my current state, I’m afraid it’s
impossible to deal with it.”
He had been sinking in the water for too long, and there was water in his lungs. Moreover, his head
was hit. Fortunately, there were many people that night, and it didn’t rain for a long time.
But this also served as a reminder for him.
“By the way, don’t tell Cierra about this thing,” Coby coughed weakly and raised his eyes to give
instructions to William.
To avoid Cierra to know it, he deliberately asked Cierra to go out just now.

There were two reasons. Firstly, he didn’t want Cierra to worry. It was better for natural disasters to
happen than for human hearts to be unpredictable.
Secondly, although he had encountered fiercepetition from his peers in his career for so many

years,
he had never encountered such a fiercepetition, which was almost aimed at his life.
If they looked further into it, the people he had recently offended in the industry was Aleah and the
Trevino Group.
The Boyle family wasn’t much of a threat, but the Trevino family clearly had the guts and financial
resources to do so.
Although he couldn’t say that the Trevino family had done it before there was any evidence, ording
to the current analysis, the Trevino family was the most likely culprit.
Coby didn’t want to specte Draven. However, that Cierra was followed and almost died had
something to do with the Trevino Group.
He had to suspect the Trevino family firstly.
Outside the ward, Cierra and Harold were sticking to the door. Their faces turned deathly pale.
Although they listened through a door, they could hear clearly. At the very least, they were sure that
Coby’s injury was not an ident.
Cierra stood at the door for a while. It was not until Harold called her that she came to her senses.
She did not rush straight into the ward as Harold had expected. Her face was calm, but her red eyes
were particrly serious.
After letting out a sigh of relief, she turned around and said, “Let’s go.”
Harold was surprised, but he followed her obediently. “Aren’t you going in to ask Coby?”
Cierra shook her head. “Since he specifically sent me away to avoid me, why should I rush up and
make him worry? Besides, we haven’t eaten yet. Health is more important. So, let’s go buy something
to eat first.”
It wasn’t on a whim for Cierra to eavesdrop outside the door.
Her brothers treated her very well. This time, she hade all the way from New York. Normally, Coby
would not want her to go out again and would want her to rest in the ward.
This time, she was asked to go out and buy some food. Although she called Harold along, she still felt
that something was hidden from her, so she did it with Harold.
As for why Coby wanted to avoid her…
Cierra’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and a trace of hostility shed across her bright face.
“Cierra, what’s wrong?”
Harold also stopped.
Cierra shook her head and forced a smile. “Nothing, I just thought of something. I was about to tell you,
but I didn’t know what to say.”
Harold stroked his head and said, “It’s normal. I’m often in the same situation.”
Cierra smiled at him. When he stepped into the elevator, the smile disappeared from her eyes,
reced by a serious expression.
If Coby’s injury was really because of Aleah, she would never let them off!
Because of his serious injury, Coby had to stay in the hospital for a few days.
The wound on his forehead was not light. The doctor had stitched a few stitches and said that there
was a high chance that it would leave a scar.
In such a situation, it was obvious that he could not enter the production team to finish the rest of the
scenes. It was still unknown when he would recover. The production team’s various sites and
employees would have to wait with huge cost. Even the biggest investors, XR Entertainment and the
Barton family, could not dy it like this.
On the day when he was discharged from the hospital, Coby had alsomunicated with the director
that he had to quit the production team because of his illness, and the male lead should be reced as
soon as possible.
Fortunately, this movie had just started, and many scenes had not been shot with the face of Coby. It
was all about fighting. So his shots could be used directly.
Coby didn’t care about it. His ident slowed down the production team’s work.
It was good to make up for it.
However, there was no way to confirm that it was a man-made ident in the water. The police had
also investigated it. The protective suit that Coby was wearing had been washed away by the water.
Judging from the video that night, it could only be concluded that it was an ident.
Coby didn’t tell the director that he thought it was man-made. They chatted it casually in the ward and
sighed with emotion at that time.
“Something like this has happened a lot in the past. At that time, we were poor, and we were required
to film real scenes. Many old actors were injured. Now we have all kinds of safety equipment. I didn’t
expect that such a thing would happen to Mr. Birley. I feel uneasy!”
The director’s name was Markel Frost. He was an old director who started his career in the martial arts
theme. He hadn’t shot a movie for several years, and his previous works were all ssic.
This new script in Mount Mist was also a dream that he wanted to fulfill in hister years. From the
script to the selection of actors and the costume ceremony on the spot, he personally did these works.
It could be said that this movie was also his final work.
He attached great importance to it. The outside world was also talking about it. The lineup was
powerful and the investment was not small. Since the establishment of the project, it had been watched
by variouspanies. He didn’t expect that such a thing would happen during the shooting.
“It’s unexpected. Since the police said it was an ident, let’s deal with it in this way.”
Coby had been prepared for this result, so he didn’t show it on his face.
The director also sighed with emotion.
Without such a good actor, the score of this movie would be much lower.
What a pity.
He got up and was about to leave when Cierra stopped him.
“Hello, Mr. Frost. I need your help with something.”
