"I have people keeping an eye on Ning Zongxuan and Zhang Yuan. We'll have the results soon."
"Soon? I am afraid Ruochu and Cheng Xi will already be gone!" Yang Xi retorted angrily. An Shaosi glanced at her indifferently, but he did not intend to argue with her.
Did Yang Xi think that tracking Gu Ruochu was an easy task?
An Shaosi felt a little helpless. Huo Nanchen was in a coma, and Lu Fang was just a doctor. There was nothing he could do. It was impossible for An Shaosi to rely on his own power. He had to ask the Huo family for help.
An Shaosi tried his best to suppress the news about Gu Ruochu's disappearance. He arranged for a special crew to continue filming his movie in Gu Ruochu's absence. The crew announced that the director had taken a leave of absence, and nobody suspected anything. After all, everyone knew that Huo Nanchen was still unconscious at the hospital after his car accident.
When Jin Ye went to the movie set, he did not know that something had happened to Gu Ruochu. Chu Xinlan was listening to the assistant director's instructions, and she adjusted her camera to satisfy the director's recommendations. Gu Zexi had been visiting the set every day for the past month. On the surface, he was monitoring the progress of the shoot. In reality, everyone knew that he was doing it for Chu Xinlan.
Every time Gu Zexi was present on the set, he treated everyone to coffee and lunch. On account of the coffee, the other staff members became even more enthusiastic. They hoped that he would appear on the set every day. However, Chu Xinlan wasn't as excited as the other crew members. Most of the time, she didn't know how to face Gu Zexi.
"Jin Ye, are you here to visit the director?" The assistant director walked towards him enthusiastically. "Unfortunately, the director is busy with other matters. I'm in charge of the filming today."
"I'm here to see everyone." Jin Ye motioned for his assistant to hand over the drinks and pizza he had bought for the crew. "Everyone has worked hard."
"It's not hard at all."
It was rare for the film crew to enjoy such benefits. They gathered around and chatted, and they did not pay attention to Chu Xinlan's uncomfortable posture.
As Gu Zexi took a sip of his coffee, there was a hint of anxiety and pity in his deep eyes when he looked at her.
"Xinlan!"
A sharp scream rang out. Gu Zexi quickly walked towards Chu Xinlan and supported her weak body.
"Are you okay?" Gu Zexi asked with a concerned look on his face. The assistant director did not know how to handle the situation.
Chu Xinlan looked weak as she tried to support herself on Gu Zexi's body.
When Jin Ye saw Chu Xinlan's weak state, he quickly rushed towards her.
"Xinlan, do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No. I just need to rest for a while. Maybe I've been too tired recently." Chu Xinlan's face was frighteningly pale, and it was covered with a thin layer of sweat. Suddenly, she tried to wiggle free from Gu Zexi's arms. "Let go of me!"
However, Gu Zexi did not loosen his hold on her.
"You're still trying to act tough in this state?" Gu Zexi exuded a strong aura, but Chu Xinlan struggled even harder. Her voice was cold as she roared, "Let go of me! I still have work to do!"
Jin Ye suspected that there was something fishy between them, so he didn't get involved in their scuffle. He wasn't familiar with Gu Zexi, and although he looked gentle on the surface, Jin Ye felt that he was difficult to approach.
"Gu Zexi, I asked you to put me down. Didn't you hear me?" Chu Xinlan felt embarrassed as she continued to sturggle in his arms.
Gu Zexi lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Xinlan. Her face was pale, and she appeared to be in pain.
He finally realized that Chu Xinlan was going through her menstrual period.
