After seeing Jian Lan, Zhan Yu wanted to go home and prepare her script. But he didn't expect the car in the corner to suddenly rush over while he was calling Bai Ning to tell her that he will be home soon. Not realizing the red light ahead of him, he didn't have time to hit the brakes.
He quickly turned the steering wheel and his car just brushed past the other car. Although the car avoided the accident, Zhan Yu didn't expect the car to still hit the fence on the road. The front of the car was damaged severely, showing the impact of the crash.
Zhan Yu quickly dialed the police number while running towards the car. As a result of the accident, the road became congested and people started to accumulate. He ran to the side of the car and saw that the owner of the red car wasn't responding. He quickly dialed the hospital number because the lady seemed like she had fainted. With the help of the public, they were able to get the wounded person onto the ambulance, but...
Zhan Yu was a bit absent minded: What a coincidence that she crashed into Chu Hua? After Zhan Yu cooperated with the police to record the accident, he went back to the hospital. When he got there, he just found out that Chu Hua was still in the emergency room.
Zhan Yu was worried about the randomness of this accident. It seemed as if there was someone manipulating behind the scenes! He just arrived at Sheng Jin City within two hours and what a coincidence that he had crashed into Chu Hua? And also, when did Chu Hus come back?
After Zhan Yu waited for a while outside of the emergency room, he took out his phone to check. He saw a lot of unanswered calls from Bai Ning, Zhan Qiancheng, and Lu Bai…
He first gave Bai Ning a call.
Bai Ning asked him why he still wasn't home yet and he told her that a little accident happened on his way, so he will be home later. Bai Ning didn't ask any further. She only told him to be careful on his way home. As he hung up the call, Zhan Qiancheng called, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Zhan Yu was puzzled, "Brother, how did you know that something happened to me?"
"How can I not know when it's on the news?"
"Then mom… don't tell her yet!"
"The news is already out. Do you think our parents won't find out later on?" Zhan Qiancheng asked, "Where are you now?"
"The hospital."
"Ok, good. Go have a check up first. You might have some wounds that you don't even know about. Regarding Chu Hua, I'll get some people to take care of her. After you finish your check up, I'll tell the driver to take you home. Don't drive anymore."
"Thank you, brother." Zhan Yu still hasn't recovered from the fright. He sat still for a few minutes until Weng Yinlin rushed to him.
"Aunt? Why are you here?" Zhan Yu asked confusingly.
Weng Yinlin examined her from top to bottom. "Are you hurt anywhere dear?"
Zhan Yu shook his head.
Weng Yinlin still wasn't relieved. "Let me take you to do a full body check up. That way, I won't be worried."
"Aunt, I'm really fine."
"Are you really not hurt?"
"No, Chu Hus was the one injured." It seemed to be severe from the situation.
But Weng Yinlin said, "No one wants this accident to happen. You are also tired. Let me send you home first. Leave this for my secretary."
"But Chu Hua…"
"I already asked the nurse to contact her family members and assistant. I'll tell my secretary to call you when she is out of danger."
Zhan Yu couldn't find a way to reject so he left first in the end. On his way home, he felt a severe pain in his temple; his brain was filled by the buzzing sound, as if it was about to explode. As he entered his house, Bai Ning held a handbag, rushing to go outside. "Mother, where are you going?"
"Silly child, you are going to scare me to death! Are you alright? Let me see, let me see."
Other than his pale face, there wasn't anything wrong with Zhan Yu. Bai Ning let out a sigh of relief, "You don't know how frightened your dad and I were when we saw the news. Good thing nothing happened to you."
"Yeah, mom, I'm fine. I wasn't hurt, but the person who I crashed into was injured and she's in the hospital right now."
"It's fine. Go rest. Your father will take care of everything in the hospital." Zhan Jin reassured Zhan Yu..
Zhan Yu nodded with gratitude. Upon waking up, he went down stairs after a moment of trance. He suddenly realized that Lu Bai and Zhan Qiancheng were all here.
"You guys…"
Hearing the voice, Lu Bai stood up first, quickly. He walked to the staircase with big strides and held Zhan Yu's hand, "Are you injured anywhere?" He asked nervously.
Since the accident, Zhan Yu heard this phrase so many times already. Weirdly, when Lu Bai asked, he choked with emotions, and then suppressed his unreasonable emotions. He thought that it might be because of how slow he reacted, or else he wouldn't feel the fear of the event until now. Lu Bai saw Zhan Yu's pale face and Zhan Yu's eyes slightly sparkling with tears. He can tell that he must've felt more scared than he was right now at the time of the accident. He couldn't resist the urge to reassure him, "As long as you're fine, it's all good, I'll take care of the other things."
"There's no need. My father said he will handle it and your mom also said the same."
Lu Bai rubbed Zhan Yu's head, smiling. "Why separating everything so clearly when we're a family!"
"Cough cough…"
Upon hearing Zhan Qiancheng's cough, Zhan Yu suddenly remembered that Zhan Qiancheng was also there, so he quickly let go of Lu Bai's hand.
"Brother, where's father?" Zhan Yu changed the subject.
"In the hospital."
"Did Chu Hua wake up yet?" Zhan Yu looked at Lu Bai as he said the words.
"I came here right after I got off the plane." Lu Bai replied, implying that he didn't know anything about the hospital yet.
Zhan Qiancheng had no idea too. As the three of them were silent, Zhan Qiancheng and Lu Bai's phone rang at the same time; Zhan Yu can already guess who the phone call was from. After they both hung up the phone, Zhan Yu guessed, "She woke up?"
"Yes." Zhan Qiancheng replied but his gaze was on Lu Bai.
Zhan Yu vaguely had a bad feeling. Lu Bai looked at Zhan Qiancheng, then at Zhan Yu
Zhan Yu said, "Hm?"
"She wants to see him." Zhan Qiancheng said straightforwardly.
Zhan Yu just understood his meaning: Chu Hua wanted to see him?
"Oh." Zhan Yu reacted frivolously.
"There's nothing between me and her." Lu Bai explained.
"Oh. Then are you going over?" Zhan Yu asked.
Lu Bai hesitated.
A smile suddenly appeared on Zhan Yu's face, "I want to go too."
"I'll take you."
Zhan Qiancheng looked at the two of them without saying anything. He didn't care how Lu Bai will handle this, but if he dared to make Xiao Yu feel bad, he wouldn't be having it.
Arriving at the hospital, Zhan Yu saw white bandages wrapped around Chu Hua's head and she laid on the bed, fragile.
"I'm sorry." Zhan Yu said apologetically.
"Did he come?" Chu Hua asked weakly.
The "He" that she was referring to was obvious.
"He came." Zhan Yu said after a little pause.
"I want to see him."
Zhan Yu walked out of the ward. "She wants to see you." He said as he looked at the Lu Bai who stood outside.
Lu Bai was silent.
Zhan Yu gave him a last glance, then moved to the side to make space for him.
"Go in together?" Lu Bai held herZhan Yu's hand and asked.
"No."
Zhan Yu forced a smile and then pulled his hand out from Lu Bai's. Aside from Weng Yinlin's secretary and Zhsn Qiancheng's assistant, Weng Yinlin and Zhan Jin were present too. The two parents saw their interactions; although they didn't say anything, but their eyes conveyed a lot of emotions. After Lu Bai went into the ward, Weng Yinlin held Zhan Yu's hands and make him sit next to her.
"Don't worry, I know A Bai's personality very well. He's not the kind of man who's fickle in love. She assured Zhan Yu.
Zhan Yu replied with a smile and remained silent. Whether or not he's that kind of person, he himself didn't dare to say. But he suddenly realized that he didn't want Lu Bai to interact with Chu Hua at all. Although he knew nothing would happen between them, he was still unwilling. Zhan Yu smiled bitterly inside. When did his desire to possess Lu Bai become so strong?
Lu Bai stood in front of the bed, looking at the fragile Chu Hua who blinked her eyes at him. "I'll investigate the accident and I'll take care of all the expenses incurred during your recovery." He said while avoiding her eyes.
"A Bai…"
"As of Zhan Yu, he was also terrified. We'll discuss about the specifics after you're fully recovered, or you can tell your assistant to negotiate with us."
Chu Hau suddenly cried. "He crashed into me. I'm the person on this bed. Why are you so quick to defend him?
"Why would he crash into you when he just arrived at Sheng Jin City? Chu Hua, don't you think it's too coincidental?"
"I also want to know! Why am I the person lying here and not him! If he's the one lying here, I will compensate him all the money he wants and cover all his expenses without any complaints! But Lu Bai, I suffered such a severe injury, do you not have any console for me?"
"Go rest."
"Lu Bai! LU BAI!"
"It's not possible between the two of us. Stop persisting. If I find out that you want to harm him, I think I will make you die in a horrible way." Lu Bai turned around and walked towards the door. But the harsh and cruel words were heard completely by Chu Hua.
Chu Hua was half dead but he wouldn't give her words of pity or sympathy at all? Heh. Chu Hua, do you know how pitiful you are right now?
The next few days, Zhan Yu would visit Chu Hua in the hospital everyday. However, Chu Hua would close the door on hi.. Zhan Yu knew that Chu Hua didn't want to see him so he stopped.
Though Chu hua didn't want to see Zhan Yu, Chu Hua ended up letting Weng Yinlin in when she visited two days later. Seeing that she recovered pretty good, Weng Yinlin directly said, "If I were you, I would choose the wise path."
Chu Hua looked at Weng Yinlin and didn't say anything. She felt hurt, however.
"I'm, my son's mother so I naturally know Lu Bai likes. Whatever he has decided on, besides he himself, no one else can change his decision. Rather than setting your eyes on my son, you might as well open yourself up to new possibilities." Weng Yinlin said.
"Heh, what a coincidence. I am just like your son. No one else can change my decision except for myself." Chu Hua said.
Weng Yinlin laughed and said, "It's because you guys are alike in many ways so you guys can't be together. With similar personalities, you guys are bound to fight one day. With different personalities, they can complement one another. You're not suitable."
"Then Zhan Yu is suitable?" Chu Hua asked.
"More suitable than you." Weng Yinlin replied.
"Then can you please leave?" Chu Hua said.
"I don't like seeing you either. I'm just advising you out of my kind heart. You can't intervene between Lu Bai and Zhan Yu. You can take your time to think about this. Oh, right. Isn't Mo Family's grandson interested in you? I heard that the elders of Mo Family are anxious and introducing him many wealthy young ladies. Watermelon or sesame. You can decide which one you want." Weng Yilin said.
Chu Hua was infuriated but there's nothing she could do. She didn't want to see anyone but Lu Bai But he never came. Now that Weng Yinlin reminded her, she suddenly remembered. Ever since she was in a car accident, Mo Bei never came to visit her. Could he really be busy with the blind dates? He didn't even have time for her? Thinking here, Chu Hua felt a headache.
Zhan Yu also had a headache. Jiang Lan agreed to the interview. He was busy proofreading the script. In actuality, he liked to improvise even more. So the content was mostly the questions they would be interviewing Jiang Lan on. But the main point was that Jiang Lan wasn't satisfied no matter what. Plus, Zhan Yu hadn't been sleeping well these few days. He seemed more anxious and irritated than usual.
Zhan Tu and Gu Tong were chatting. When they spoke of this, Gu Tong said, "Could it be the repercussions of the car accident?"
Zhan Yu felt helpless. "Brother, I wasn't injured!"
"Maybe you're heartbroken." Gu Tong said.
"What?" Zhan Yu was surprised by what Gu Tong said.
"You originally won your love rival and didn't feel guilty at all. Now that you crashed into your love rival and since she is laying in the hospital right now, you are scared that Lu Bai might want to atone for your crimes or become softhearted. He might implicate himself with your love rival." Gu Tong analyzed clearly and logically, "You're distracted not because of work, but because of your mind's thoughts."
Zhan Yu was speechless. Lately, he was unwilling to see Lu Bai because he didn't want to think of Chu Hua. If he was the one laying in the hospital, maybe he wouldn't feel guilty.
Zhan Yu laughed and said, "Maybe you're right."
Gu Tong happily said, "Xiao Yu, you've fallen in love. You really fell in love."
"Heh." Can he (Zhan Yu) retrieve it back? His heart.
Because of the program, Zhan Yu returned to A City. He had a pretty good collaboration with Jiang Lan. But after the program ended, Jiang Lan wanted to eat out with him. She smiled and said, "Hopefully the next time I see you will be on your wedding. Right, you'll send me the wedding invitation right?"
Zhan Yu couldn't help but laugh, "How do you want a single person like me to send you a wedding invitation?"
"President Lu can send it too." Jiang Lan laughed and said.
Zhan Yu could only laugh along. He thought: nothing has even happened between the two of them.
Lu Bai naturally detected Zhan Yu purposefully avoiding him. But because Chu Hua just got into an accident, he thought that Zhan Yu needed time to adjust. At the same time, he was a bit angry that Zhan Yu wanted him to be with Chu Hua at the hospital. There were many ways to compensate Chu Hua but not this kind.
Zhan Yu needed time and he himself (Lu Bai) was busy with work. It's better if the two of them took some time to calm down and think.
On the other hand, after Chu Hua stayed in the hospital for about ten days or so, an uninvited guest came — Shi Shi. After Shi Shi came in the room, she observed Chu Hua and said shockingly, "I didn't think you would be in such serious conditions. Tsk, you're quite pitiful."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. I just pity you."
"I don't need your pity."
Shi Shi laughed and said, "How good would it be if it was Zhan Yu in an accident? But, it's not that good. The car accident couldn't take his life. If Zhan Yu can't die, then it is no fun."
Chu Hua heard this and was shocked. She investigated Zhan Yu before and knew that his change started after he fell down the stairs. Shi Shi was the one who had pushed him. She originally thought they just had a simple debate. Now that she looked at this, this wasn't that simple.
Shi Shi wanted Zhan Yu's life?
"What deep hatred do you hold against Zhan Yu? You actually wanted him to die?" Chu Hua looked at Shi Si in alarm.
Shi Shi sweetly smiled and said, "Can I not want Zhan Yu to die despite not having a deep hatred for him? If he doesn't die, how can you obtain Lu Bai?"
"Why do you want to help me? We don't know each other."
"Who said that?" Shi Shi said, "We are both on the same team. Once Zhan Yu dies, this story can finally return to its normal path. I hate how people criticize and try to change the world I created."
Chu Hua looked at Shi Shi and was in deep thought.
Shi Shi continued to say excitedly, "Why don't I give you a nice suggestion? A suggestion where you can be free of worries forever and you wouldn't need to see the Zhan Yu you dislike anymore, but also able to obtain Lu Bai forever? How does this sound? Are you moved?"
Chu Hua felt a gust of cold breeze. She asked sternly, "What do you want to do?"
"Obviously something good. Can't you see that I am racking my brain and trying to help you?" Shi Shi laughed and said, "Do you want to hear this suggestion?"
Chu Hua looked at the person in front of her. She felt like this person was a devil coming from hell. She shivered at this gloomy and strange aura.
How did Zhan Yu land up with this enemy? Shouldn't the person asking to be blessed be Zhan Yu now?
Zhan Yu who was in A City working didn't detect anything. After he was done with Jiang Lan's interview, his boss introduced a new target for interview. They were also in the entertainment circle. However, this time, it was a Film Emperor who had received numerous titles. Right now, he was filming scenes in the mountain area and didn't have time. The program group decided to go over to interview him. It was a long drive there.
When Zhan Yu followed the group over, who knew he would've gotten into an accident... Besides the vast weeds in the overgrown countryside, no one was seen. But not far on the road near the weeds, Zhan Yu silently fell in her pool of blood. The white shirt was dyed red and he quietly laid in a pool of blood, shutting his eyes tightly. His fingers slightly moved before it dropped.
Lu Bai who woke up shocked and full of sweat, he frantically found his phone and dialed Zhan Yu. He needed to promise Zhan Yu safety before he could temporarily be relieved. The phone rang for a long time but no one picked up. Lu Bai massaged his temple in irritation and looked at the time; it was two in the morning so Zhan Yu must be asleep.
Zhan Yu who was woken up by the phone. He was lucky that his phone was turned to vibrate otherwise how embarrassing would it be if he woke up his colleagues? Maybe it was because Lu Bai hadn't contacted him for a long time had called, he wondered why Lu Bai called at this time. Zhan Yu was worried that something had happened so he went out of the room to the door corner to pick up the call.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Bai originally didn't hold hope that Zhan Yu would answer and wanted to hang up when Zhan Yu answered. "Did you sleep yet?"
"Don't you know that there's a time difference between the two of us? Why don't you look at the time? At this time, if I'm not sleeping, that would be unusual!" After Zhan Yu spoke, he didn't hear anything from Lu Bai.
He asked, "Is there a matter? If not, I'm going to hang up. I'm very tired and there's work tomorrow."
Hearing that Zhan Yu's tone was normal, Lu Bai thought that nothing happened. He said, "After I'm done handling the work, I will go to A City to find you."
"Why are you going to A City?" Zhan Yu blurted. "I'm not there!"
Lu Bai's tone changed. "Where are you?"
Zhan Yu said the name of this remote mountain area. Then he said, "We need to interview Film Emperor Yang for our next episode. He is shooting his movie here and can't make time out for us. So I came with the program group. After seeing the Film Emperor tomorrow, we will be officially recording the episode the day after."
That remote place…
Lu Bai almost immediately thought of his dream. He tried his best to keep his voice steady and reminded, "Please remember to go with your colleagues. Don't get lost. Xiao Yu."
Zhan Yu was surprised and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm not a kid. If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up. I'm very tired now."
The next day Zhan Yu woke up, he only remembered picking up Lu Bai's call in the middle of the night. Zhan Yu couldn't recall what they talked about. Thinking that it might not be something important, he didn't try to remember. The hotel Zhan Yu and colleagues lived in was a distance away from where Film Emperor Yang was filming. While heading over, because the road was overly narrow, they couldn't drive in the mountains. They had to get out of the car and walk over.
Zhan Yu walked halfway and remembered that he left his phone in the car because he only remembered to take his folder. He thought about it and said to the Director, "Sorry, I'm going to go back to the car to grab my phone. I'll catch up to you guys immediately."
Director was scared that Zhan Yu didn't know his surroundings that well so it wouldn't be too good to go by himself. He especially asked, "Do you want me to have Xiao Huang come with you?"
Zhan Yu hurriedly said, "No need, no need. I'll come back instantly after taking my phone."
Director didn't force Zhan Yu either. He admired how independent Zhan Yu was. He was irritated with how the male colleagues and celebrities that he had worked with in the past had ordered people to do their work for them.
Zhan Yu went back hi.self and seeing how quiet his surroundings was, he felt uneasy because there was no one. He subconsciously quickened his pace. The cars of the crew were parked in order. He found his car and unlocked it. As he reached and just got his phone when he heard the sound of glass breaking by his side. He was shocked and hurriedly turned around. But his neck felt the icy cold knife.
Zhan Yu's face turned pale and he looked over to see four or five men wearing black coats looking sinisterly at him.
They held iron sticks or sharp knives in their hands.
Zhan Yu's heart thumped violently. He seamlessly placed his phone towards his back and pressed 110. He never tried this before and couldn't promise that he will succeed. Plus, his only option right now was to calm down and stall the time. He wanted to gain as much time as possible for himself. He prayed in his heart that the colleagues in the program group will have someone come look for him after realizing that he hadn't been back for a long time. Maybe he will have a chance to live. He looked at how unfriendly they were. His instinct was that he was a goner.
Suddenly, he recalled the nightmare he had. At that time, he was surrounded by a group of men wearing black as well. They slashed him time after time. He felt his self dying due to loss of blood but he couldn't do anything.
That feeling of horror, fright, and helplessness…all surged his heart suddenly!
Zhan Yu didn't dare to breathe heavily. He carefully glanced at the long knife which was about to sink into his skin. He tried his best to make his voice not tremble as much. "Brother, who are you guys? If you guys want money, I can give it to you guys. Let's not resort to violence and weapons. I'm scared."
"Humph. You're quite soft-skinned. What a pity if we really slash your skin."
Zhan Yu heard who the man who had the knife on his neck talked to him in such a rude way. Zhan yu was frightened that they might rape and kill him. Zhan Yu's heart thumped quickly.
"Look at your face. Brother feels bad at looking at how pale your face is. Do you want brother to take care of you?"
Seeing how his hand was about to touch his face, Zhan Yu instinctively tilted his head to the side to avoid it. Then he felt a sting on his neck. A sticky feeling spread. He didn't have time to attend to how deep his wound was. He looked sharply at them and threatened harshly, "I advise you guys to not touch me. Otherwise, my family won't let you guys go!"
"Hah. well, I want to see what powers do you, a young boy, have. This is the wilderness and there are no security cameras. Even if we kill you and mutilate your body then throw it in a valley, who do you think can find you? Who would know that we had done this?" After saying this, the man laughed presumptuously. "Men from the city are stupid like this!"
"Humph. You cannot run away from the law. Do you think that you guys can get away from your crimes in secret? I don't believe that this world doesn't have laws and order!" Zhan Yu responded strictly.
"You're right!" That man took the knife and patted Zhan Yu's face. He said in disdain, "I am the law in this place! You don't accept this? Well hold it in!"
"Brother, why are you talking nonsense to that man? Quickly kill him so we can report back!" Someone was rushing him.
"Brother, that's right! I'm waiting for the money so I can do drugs! My addiction is taking over again!"
Zhan Yu understood the deeper meaning to their words. So they were taking people's money and doing work for them?
Zhan Yu hurriedly said, "Before you guys kill me, shouldn't you guys let me die clearly? Who let you guys kill me?"
