When Anna got off the plane, it had been an hour, three and 10 minutes since Mu Ning was taken to the hospital.As soon as I turned it on, the phone vibrated continuously.Various media contacts bombarded her WeChat calls one after another, and she didn't dare to answer them casually. She had a good relationship with the editor-in-chief of Fengli Entertainment and trusted him, so she took his call.

"Anna, what's the matter with Mu Ning? Hurry up, give me an exclusive this time." Editor-in-Chief Feng Li said: "You can count it as a boot."

"What's wrong with him?" Anna didn't know why, "I just got off the plane."

"I guess you don't know either! Hey, it's an accident! It seems that a car crashed on the set. There are different opinions on what happened, and the crew didn't answer the phone."

"Crash?!" Anna's heart skipped a beat: "Damn it. I won't tell you now. I'll call my assistant to ask about the situation."

Before the editor-in-chief Feng Li could finish saying "Don't forget to give me the exclusive", Anna hung up on her.

Amy Zhao answered the phone in seconds. Before she could finish the three words "Sister Anna", she held her phone and started crying.Anna's predictions were originally not optimistic, but now hearing Amy's tone, her heart sank to the lowest point. She had a sore nose and asked, "Why are you crying? People... people are gone?"

"No, no!" Amy Zhao replied twitching, "Alive!"

"...Then why are you crying?!" Anna yelled frantically on the covered bridge while holding her mobile phone, and the tears that had just gushed out were also withdrawn.

"But I was injured." Amy Zhao sniffed, and said: "During filming, the prop motorcycle broke down, and he fell from it. He has contusions on his body, and now he just woke up from a coma, and he may have a concussion. Then the lumbar spine fell, but the specific situation is still waiting for the urgent MRI film to come out."

Anna regained her composure, listening and memorizing, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Amy Zhao started crying again, and there was still some complaints in her words: "Is this not enough? What else do you want!"

Anna was really in a hurry and didn't have time to coax the little girl, so she asked to take good care of Mu Ning and hung up the phone.

She explained the situation to Yang Liu, and then told Yang Liu to contact editor-in-chief Feng Li directly.Before Mu Ning and Juheng did not renew the contract, I owed Fengli a favor, so I should give it an exclusive.After everything was arranged, Anna turned off the phone and took out her personal mobile phone.

Anna sat down at the mouth of the luggage carousel with people coming and going, her face rarely depressed.

She was preparing to make the toughest call of her illustrious career.

Zhuang Yao was holding a routine board meeting at the headquarters of Juheng, and was drowsy after listening to the report.

The chief assistant Lucy hurriedly opened the door and came in, and the directors who were sitting in the conference room all looked sideways.

"We're in a meeting." Zhuang Yao was a little surprised. Lucy followed him for seven or eight years, not such a reckless person.Seeing Lucy's serious face, he whispered, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Zhuang, it's Anna's call." Lucy, who has experienced many battles, couldn't help but pause at this moment: "She said that Mu Ning was injured."

"What!" Zhuang Yao picked up the phone, and the suppressed anger in his voice was like a mountain rain: "What's going on?!"

The executives looked at each other in blank dismay.There are many old people who have worked with Zhuang Yao for more than ten years. They have no control over Zhuang Yao's private life, and no one is cleaner than him in the affair.However, Zhuang Yao has been sitting in a high position all these years, and he has never put personal affairs before public affairs—unless it is Mu Ning—

When he spoke again, Zhuang Yao, who had always been calm and reserved, was on the verge of fury.His voice was as deep as thunder: "I handed him over to you, and it's only been half a year, and you sent him to the hospital for me!"

All the people in the meeting room didn't dare to breathe for a moment, for fear of running into bad luck.

After a while, Zhuang Yao asked, "Which hospital!" As soon as the words fell, he returned the mobile phone to Lucy, left in a hurry without saying anything.

"This..." Someone asked Lucy, "What's going on here?"

Lucy looked calm and said with a smile, "Sorry, it's Mr. Zhuang's family business."

Mu Ning woke up several times in a daze.I was a little conscious in the ambulance, and I vaguely remembered it when I was filming the film, and I was very impressed with the instrument that looked like a space capsule.

When I woke up this time, it was already dark outside the ward.

The room was empty.Mu Ning lay there, not daring to move.There were footsteps coming and going in the corridor, and low-pitched conversations.

Mu Ning wanted to speak, but his voice was dry and hoarse, as if he was going to get angry.He raised his hand, with the needle buried in his arm.Just as she was about to ring the bell, there was a sound of swift footsteps in the corridor, and then, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Zhuang Yao walked in.

Seeing that Mu Ning woke up, Zhuang Yao hurried to the bedside and knelt down on one knee on the edge of the bed so that he could get closer to him.Zhuang Yao stretched out his hand to caress his forehead hair gently, full of pity.Seeing his pale and sickly face, he felt annoyed in his heart.

"What's the matter with you? You hurt yourself like this when you were filming a scene. Sometimes your knees became inflamed, and then you were covered in falls all over your body. Now you just got sent to the hospital by ambulance..."

Mu Ning didn't speak, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and tears started to fall without warning.Bean-sized teardrops fell from the sockets one after another, as if they didn't want money.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him crying, Zhuang Yao was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands, so he kept asking, "Does it hurt somewhere? I'll call someone."

Mu Ning cried and grabbed Zhuang Yao's hand: "Don't! Don't go."

Zhuang Yao looked at him with some puzzlement.After a while, I heard Mu Ning say in a very weak voice: "...I'm afraid."

Zhuang Yao felt as if an ice pick had pierced his heart.

He held back Mu Ning's cold hand from the infusion, and said repeatedly: "I won't go, I'm right here."

Mu Ning tightly grasped the hands of the people around him, and twitched them a few more times before he stopped crying.

Seeing that his mood had stabilized, Zhuang Yao stretched out his hand and rang the call bell.

"When you're an adult, you know how to cry." Zhuang Yao wiped away his tears with a hand, distressed and helpless.

Mu Ning turned his eyes away from him.

Mu Ning's fall broke the transverse process of the lumbar spine, and the MRI showed an obvious black gap on the left side.

The attending doctor took the film and said, "Don't worry, you will be forced to rest in bed for half a month, and you can get up and move around after you leave the hospital. However, you don't need to think about strenuous exercise within two months, and you should pay more attention to it in the future. This time you are lucky, near the lumbar spine. You have a lot of nerves, if you fall harder, your lower body may be paralyzed. This is not a joke, understand?"

What's the matter, is it because he is holding on to Zhuang Yao tightly and doesn't let go, and he looks like he just cried, so everyone treats him as a child?Why is the speech so gentle and persuasive?

Mu Ning nodded obediently.After thinking about it, I felt a little embarrassed, so I let go of Zhuang Yao's hand.

Zhuang Yao asked softly beside him, "Is there any other discomfort?"

"I want to throw up." Mu Ning said.

"After a concussion, you'll be fine after a few days of rest." The doctor closed the medical record and said, "After seeing your film, there's nothing serious."

The doctor is gone.Wu Chao, Zhao Aimi, and Zhuang Yao stood in the ward.

"Mr. Zhuang." Wu Chao shook hands with Zhuang Yao, said hello, then lowered his head and asked Mu Ning, "Are you okay? Are you feeling bad?"

Amy Zhao's eyes were red, and she looked like she had been crying for a long time.

Mu Ning took Amy Zhao and said, "Don't cry, I'm not dead."

Amy Zhao immediately said "Bah" three times: "You don't have a crow's mouth!"

"Looking at you lying there covered in blood, and you didn't answer no matter how much you called, I almost fainted from fright." Amy Zhao said, "By the way, Anna is still on her way here."

"I see." Mu Ning raised his eyes and said to Zhao Aimi and Wu Chao: "You all go home, you don't need to be here anymore."

Wu Chao hesitated to speak, and said after a while, "I'll stay here with you."

Amy Zhao also said nervously, "I want to stay here with you too!"

Mu Ning smiled and said, "No need, I have something to talk to Mr. Zhuang."

Amy Zhao was still holding her neck and refused to leave. Seeing this, Wu Chao drove her out without saying a word.

There was finally silence in the ward.

"What do you want to say? You must pay everyone out." Zhuang Yao pulled up a chair and sat down beside Mu Ning's hospital bed.

Although Mu Ning suffered a concussion, his brain is not broken.The prop motorcycle was delivered the day before yesterday. This time he didn't have a stand-in, and it was such a thrilling fight scene. The prop team definitely checked it out before sending it.It is impossible not to find out such a big problem as brake failure.

"I think someone broke it on purpose." Mu Ning told the cause and effect as well as his own deduction. After the accident, he may have some confusion in the order of words, but he knew that Zhuang Yao could understand.

What a shrewd person Zhuang Yao is, he naturally heard his subtext: "You mean Bai Xiaotan?"

Mu Ning's words pointed sharply at Bai Xiaotan, "In Lin Tai, he and I are the only two left to fight. Now that I've fallen like this, won't he be satisfied?"

Zhuang Yao pondered for a while, then said, "You probably think too much. He's not that bold."

Mu Ning was extremely wronged, he suffered so much for Lin Tai's role, even if Bai Xiaotan didn't do it himself, I'm afraid there are [-]% of his intentions in it.

Zhuang Yao didn't turn to him either, instead he excused Bai Xiaotan.

"I've been with you for ten years, and you don't believe me?"

"It's not a question of whether I believe it or not." Zhuang Yao said, "You should rest well. If you insist on this statement in two days, we can talk again."

"You mean I'm out of my mind right now?"

Zhuang Yao explained patiently, suppressing his anger: "No. What I mean is, don't easily accuse others, there is no evidence at all."

"Okay." Mu Ning replied coldly: "After all, I didn't fall to my death this time, so it's inconvenient to bother you. Next time, I'll contact you when Bai Xiaotan kills me to the last breath."

Zhuang Yao really has nothing to do with Mu Ning.

He was heartbroken when it was broken, and he left his work to come here. Before he could say a few good words, he was about to quarrel again.

Zhuang Yao stood up, said "have a good rest", and went straight out.

After closing the door of the ward, Zhuang Yao was about to leave.After taking two steps, he paused again. The matter of the motorcycle lingered in his mind and he couldn't get rid of it.

Although he warned Bai Xiaotan, Bai Xiaotan told him countless times that he wanted the role of Lin Tai. After returning from the audition, he said it more frequently, and he never intervened.

Is Mu Ning's suspicion justified?

Zhuang Yao stood at the door with his hips akimbo, pacing anxiously.After a long while, I finally made a compromise for Mu Ning and made a phone call: "Fang Qing, you should check something, the sooner the better."
