"No need, I’m fine," Liu Chunmei didn’t want to see a doctor, mainly because she dreaded the hassle.
In the dead of night, and on a film set with a closed production, this was typical for jobs like theirs. Stomach aches, colds, and the like were usually handled by downing some medicine and toughing it out—that’s what young people did.
"How can you say that? What if it’s appendicitis or some other illness?" Jian Anning said, "Appendicitis can be fatal! You need to get treatment immediately!"
Once appendicitis was mentioned, Liu Chunmei also knew the dangers and seemed to realize that it wasn’t her stomach that hurt today, she had just been avoiding the trouble before.
Hearing Jian Anning’s words, she stopped talking. Jian Anning immediately changed her clothes, grabbed her bag without a second thought or a glance to see what it was, and headed straight out the door, pulling Liu Chunmei with her.
---------------------
To their surprise, as soon as the door opened, there stood Lu Jiayuan waiting outside, which gave them quite a fright.
Lu Jiayuan had naturally come over because of that phone call. Earlier, he had overheard the conversation Ya Jiayi had with Director Li and recognized her voice, which had raised his suspicions.
Unlike others, he was an insider at Huasi Film and Television, so he knew more details. The person in charge of the Huaxia region was supposed to be Abraham, yet suddenly an outsider—Si Weilian—took over. What puzzled him more was that Si Weilian seemed to care about nothing else but overseeing "Rock Youth." Needless to say, it didn’t make sense for a Huaxia regional vice president to focus solely on one project. Moreover, ever since he had arrived, MISS-YU no longer required him to gather information about Yu Zexiao.
Upon inquiring at the company, he found it strange that many people, including Abraham who managed personnel files, had absolutely no record of "Si Weilian" reporting here! It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere, with no files, no one knew his identity, and nobody questioned his position.
Even if he wasn’t the mysterious behind-the-scenes major shareholder, he definitely belonged to that major shareholder’s direct force—and, considering his position, he was absolutely higher in rank than that MISS-YU!
Reflecting on his own initial purposes for joining the set, which were not to film, but to gather information about Yu Zexiao, he recalled that Si Weilian had, upon arriving at the production, immediately come into a fierce conflict with Yu Zexiao—
Maybe, Huasi Film and Television’s target was, in fact, Yu Zexiao!
Therefore, as soon as Si Weilian entered the production, he relentlessly pursued Jian Anning—Yu Zexiao’s assistant with whom he had an ambiguous relationship—declaring his love for her countless times in public, luring her both overtly and covertly— he was not a good man at all!
After realizing this, Lu Jiayuan became restless and rushed over, but he had not expected to run into Jian Anning dragging Liu Chunmei out the door as soon as he reached it.
"Moon, what’s going on?"
With an urgent situation at hand, Jian Anning had no time for a drawn-out conversation. She simply said, "Xiaoliu isn’t feeling well; I have to take her to the hospital! If it’s appendicitis or something, we’re doomed!"
Only then did Lu Jiayuan focus on the pale-faced woman beside her. He recognized her as one of the production’s crew, and in the middle of the night, he promptly nodded, "Okay, have you called 120 yet?"
