Sheng Shaochen watched her furrow her little brows, his heart aching as he smoothed his brow and personally peeled off her clothes, carefully applying medicine to her wounds bit by bit.
His movements were gentle, the mix of itchiness and piercing pain causing her to start chattering.
Because she didn’t want him to worry, she tried to keep her voice down.
As a result, the sounds she made became increasingly strange, like a little cat meowing in the middle of the night, repressed yet stirring.
Passersby outside the hospital room couldn’t help but shiver, curiously looking inside, always feeling as though something inappropriate for children was happening...
Meanwhile, on the set of "Nine Lives Demon Phoenix."
Medical personnel were tending to the injured.
This arson and vandalism incident had damaged a lot of equipment in the crew and had also left five people with minor injuries.
This included Ye Xinyu.
At the moment, medical personnel were bandaging the wounds on Ye Xinyu’s thigh.
Ye Xinyu wrinkled her brow, continuously exclaiming, "It hurts, hurts, be gentle, be gentle..."
The other four injured extras also began to cry out, their collective misery palpable.
One fairly good-looking extra cried as she spoke, "I don’t know who’s so wicked, why they would attack our crew, boo hoo, this long scratch on my face, will it scar?"
"Hey, I might also get a scar on my leg!" On hearing this, Ye Xinyu also pouted and said, "I heard that Ye Shu’s ’Dynasty’ was subjected to a terrorist attack... this probably has something to do with Ye Shu."
"Yes, I heard too, so scary. Eight assassins descending from the sky, specifically demanding that ’Dynasty’ hand over Ye Shu!"
"I always said Director Sun shouldn’t have chosen Ye Shu for his new movie, and certainly shouldn’t have used our ’Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’ fame to promote Ye Shu! Now Ye Shu has made enemies and been targeted! The enemies even used a diversion tactic, attacking us here, making Director Sun come back with the security team, and attracting all the police to our side! Just to cut off Ye Shu’s reinforcements!" Ye Xinyu said emphatically.
"Really? Then our ’Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’ has become Ye Shu’s scapegoat?"
"Who’s saying it isn’t?"
Following Ye Xinyu’s lead, everyone pointed to Ye Shu as the mastermind behind the attack on "Nine Lives Demon Phoenix."
In a short while, the entire crew started to denounce Ye Shu, wishing they could drown Ye Shu in their spit.
Ye Xinyu took the opportunity to say, "If you ask me, Director Sun shouldn’t let this scourge, Ye Shu, continue shooting his movie, causing trouble for everyone."
"Right, right, we should come together, go talk to Director Sun about this since the kidnappers specifically asked for Ye Shu!"
"This time it was a diversion, affecting unrelated people, who knows what might happen next!"
As she saw everyone’s emotions being stirred up, Ye Xinyu was feeling smug when her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and quickly, fumbling for excuses, dashed into her office...
In her hurry, she didn’t lock the door.
Ye Xinyu went to the window and answered the phone, "Why are you still calling me? Didn’t I already give you the money?"
"Money? Do you think a mere twenty thousand yuan is enough for us to do such dangerous stuff?" The sinister voice came coldly through the wireless waves.
Ye Xinyu shivered, her face rapidly turning pale with anxiety, "What do you mean? We agreed on twenty thousand yuan, didn’t we?"
"That was before, but now some of our guys have been captured, do you think twenty thousand yuan can solve anything? You wouldn’t want them to reveal who ordered them, would you? Hmph, hiring people to vandalize your own crew, this news would certainly be sensational, don’t you think!"
Ye Xinyu, furious, gritted her teeth, "How much do you want?"
"Two million? Where am I supposed to find that kind of money right now?"
"That’s your problem!" The person at the other end hung up...
Outside the door, Mi Taotao, overhearing everything, turned pale with shock. She could never have imagined that the ones who vandalized the "Nine Lives Demon Phoenix" crew were hired by Ye Xinyu!
But how could Ye Xinyu have known something would happen on Ye Shu’s side and preemptively use this diversion tactic?
The more Mi Taotao thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed!
She’s mad, this woman must be mad! Continuing to follow her, Mi Taotao felt she was definitely heading for doom.
Turning to leave, she was so frantic that she accidentally bumped into a large flowerpot by the door...
