"Yes..." The Hong Kong pyrotechnician furrowed his brow and spoke in halting Mandarin. "There was a problem with the timing setting. It should have been 15 seconds, but sohow it changed to 5 seconds."
Kris Cooper took a deep breath.
"You don’t know why? That’s your explanation?"
"Mr. Cooper!" Another pyrotechnician quickly interrupted, "Please calm down first. I had set the tir before. It wouldn’t have changed unless soone altered it."
Kris Cooper frowned at the two of them. His eyes were intense, his voice solemn as he asked, "So, you’re saying that soone changed the ti setting in the computer?"
"Seems like it!" The pyrotechnician nodded fervently. "Although we can’t be sure who did it, it’s certain that soone has changed the ti."
Kris Cooper’s eyes darkened. In the set positioning, Vera Wave was the closest to the explosion. If soone really had changed the tir, the intention was clear—to harm her.
This wasn’t just a simple accident!
Surprise flickered in Vera’s eyes.
She initially thought it was just a mishap, and since she wasn’t gravely injured, there was no need to delve into it too much.
But hearing the explosives experts’ deductions, a wave of apprehension swept through her.
"Are you saying... soone wants dead?!"
Both n fell silent. Seeing the state of affairs, it was clear that this was a preditated murder attempt.
"Tommy Taylor!" Kris Cooper inhaled sharply. "Imdiately call the police and inform everyone in the crew to return to the shooting location. No one is to leave before the police conduct their investigation."
With that, he leveled his gaze at the pyrotechnician and explosives expert.
"Hopefully, you’re not involved in this. Now... get back to the filming location!"
Everyone kept silent, exiting the ward one by one.
Kris Cooper then turned and gently comforted Vera with a soft caress on her face.
"Don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of this. For now, get so sleep."
"Kris!" Vera took a soft breath. "Perhaps... this was really just an accident. Please... don’t act rashly!"
"I know my limits," he assured her with a nod. "I’ll let Tommy stay here with you, and I’ll go check out the filming location, okay?"
"Sure." She gripped his hand tightly. "Promise ... leave this to the police. Don’t intervene."
"Okay."
"Swear it!"
His personality was too assertive; she was just worried he would do sothing foolish out of impulsiveness.
"Fine, I swear!" Kris Cooper raised his right hand. "I’ll leave everything to the police. I won’t intervene."
"If you do, then let my injury never heal!" she added.
He frowned, unwilling to agree.
But she pouted, insisting.
Helpless, he had no choice but to concede.
"If I intervene, let Vera’s injury never heal."
Only then did she relax her grip and smiled at him. "I believe it may just be an accident. After all, who would dislike so much!"
Looking at the situation, it really didn’t seem like an accident. However, she hoped the truth wasn’t that soone was plotting to murder her—because that outco would be too terrifying and treacherous.
"I hope so too!"
Kris Cooper bent down and gently kissed her cheek. "Do you want another drink of water?"
She shook her head.
"Alright, then I’ll go check things out."
