Coming to the hospital again, Xu Muzhe felt mixed emotions.

In the end, it still implicated my good friends.

This time, Xie Shuzhi was lying on the hospital bed with his right leg in a cast, so he couldn't rush over to hug Xu Muzhe when he opened the door.

"How's your leg?"

Xu Muzhe came to his bedside and stared at his plastered right leg with worried eyes.

Tears welled up in Xie Shuzhi's eyes, as if he had felt indescribable grievance, and he burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xiao Chen was in the ward and helped him continue.

"Brother Xie got frightened during rehearsal and fell off the stage when he turned around."

"What about his legs..." Xu Muzhe couldn't bear to ask further.

"Luckily it's just a fracture. The doctor said I'll be able to recover as long as I rest well and do some rehabilitation exercises."

Xu Muzhe breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing happened.

But even if something really happened, he would probably only stand on Xiaozhi's side, which would disappoint his good friend.

"Rest well. As for the performance, I will help you negotiate with your agency and partners. I will also pay the penalty for breach of contract."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Xie Shuzhi struggled to sit up and grabbed Xu Muzhe's arm.

At this moment, the temperature in the room seemed to cool down a bit, causing Xu Muzhe to frown.

"Can I sign a contract with your company?"

The Lu Group has a branch company that is responsible for artist training and film and television cooperation.

Xie Shuzhi accompanied him to take over Lu Zhuohan's company. Now Xu Muzhe has become the major shareholder of Lu Group. He has been hoping that Xu Muzhe can sign him.

Two or three months have passed now, and Xu Muzhe remains indifferent and just keeps paying him the penalty.

Xie Shuzhi didn't want the money, he could pay it off if he gritted his teeth.

He just wanted to be signed to the Lu Group, where he could get significantly more resources than his current company.

Moreover, he wanted to become outstanding and more famous so that he would be qualified to stand beside Xu Muzhe.

But Xu Muzhe's evasive look made Xie Shuzhi realize that his wish would ultimately be in vain.

"That's not my company, it's the Lu family's."

Xie Shuzhi's eyes turned cold, and he grabbed Xu Muzhe's sleeve tightly, unwillingly saying: "What Lu family? You are obviously the major shareholder."

"I plan to return the shares to Lu Zhuohan's mother after a while."

After he finished speaking, Xie Shuzhi stared at Xu Muzhe in anger and shock.

"Are you crazy? That's the result of years of hard work, and you're just going to give it away like this."

"It wasn't mine in the first place."

"Who said it wasn't?" Xie Shuyi blurted out in anger, "If Lu Qihua hadn't stolen your product design, applied for a patent, and even snatched away your parents' clients, your uncle and aunt wouldn't have jumped off the building out of frustration. You were so young back then, how did you get through it? Have you forgotten?"

Xu Muzhe's expression changed slightly. He looked at Xiao Chen and motioned him to leave.

Xiao Chen didn't dare to stay any longer. He lowered his head to the two of them and left quietly.

But Xie Shuzhi refused to give in, and continued, "The Lu family has prospered so well because they climbed up step by step by step on the flesh and blood of your parents. Lu Qihua deserved to die, and his son Lu Zhuohan also brought this upon himself..."

"Snapped--"

A light pink handprint appeared on Xie Shuzhi's face, abruptly interrupting what he was about to say.

"Are you crazy enough?" Xu Muzhe said in a cold tone.

He covered his face with his hands, his voice filled with tears.

"Brother Xu, you've never hit me before, but now you're hitting me for a ghost." Xie Shuzhi looked at Xu Muzhe with a sad expression. "Have you forgotten that I was the one who accompanied you through all those years? When you had a fever of 40 degrees and fell into a coma and had no money to see a doctor, it was me who knelt down and begged the neighbor aunt to borrow money. Or do you think that I'm an orphan and will never be worthy of you?"

"I always think of you as my brother, nothing else."

Xie Shuzhi chuckled softly and pointed at his leg.

"Okay, even if you only treat me as your brother. But that ghost has injured my leg. If it gets serious, I might never be able to stand up again. Are you going to continue to favor him?"

Xu Muzhe lowered his eyes and stared at his legs, silent.

He did not refute it on the phone, but came directly to the hospital and admitted the fact that Lu Zhuohan was a ghost.

There was no need for him to continue lying. Xie Shuzhi had already been implicated and there was no way he could get away unless Xie Shuzhi was willing to go abroad.

But now Xie Shuzhi's legs...

"Are you sure it was Lu Zhuohan who did it?"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Zhuohan, who was hiding in the corner and was still shocked to hear the truth, slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Muzhe.

"He's been staying with me lately. How could he have the time to take revenge on you?"

Xu Muzhe was just trying to get answers, but when he saw the panic that flashed across Xie Shuzhi's face, he immediately knew the answer.

"It seems like you're just directing and acting this out yourself." Xu Muzhe shook his head in disappointment. "You love the stage so much, but you're willing to break your leg just to frame Lu Zhuohan. Is it really worth it?"

"I...I didn't..."

Xie Shuzhi put down his hands that were covering his face and reached out to pull Xu Muzhe in panic, but the other party stepped back and avoided his hand.

He was stunned and stared at his hands blankly.

"Xie Shuzhi, stop hurting yourself like this. It won't do you any good." Xu Muzhe's expression remained stern, but disappointment was evident in his tone. "While I haven't completely withdrawn from the Lu family, you can use the resources I give you to continue developing your career abroad. Don't wait until you have nothing left, and I'll be penniless and unable to help you at all."

Xu Muzhe was about to leave, but just as he turned around, he heard Xie Shuzhi's hysterical voice behind him.

"He's already dead. You won't get any results."

Xu Muzhe paused.

"That's not your thing to worry about."
