Chapter 289 Investigation

The entertainment industry is a murky pool these days. Besides, before Xiao Xiao's debut, she had only filmed one drama, and that drama hadn't even aired yet, but she was cast as the lead actress. This was bound to arouse some suspicion and jealousy.

The two of them arrived at the filming set. Wen Sining got out of the car. Turning to Su Mu, who was still sitting in the driver's seat, she said, "Go to Xiao Xiao's apartment first and get her a few changes of clothes and some daily necessities, then take them to the hospital ward." Considering Xiao Xiao's current condition, she wouldn't be able to leave the hospital anytime soon.

Su Mu nodded. "What about here on the set?"

"You don't need to worry about dealing with things here. I'll handle it." Wen Sining replied.

Su Mu nodded, and the two parted ways.

When the director saw Wen Sining, he immediately stepped forward. "Ms. Wen, how's Xiao Xiao's condition now?"

"She has multiple fractures and is now lying in the hospital. She definitely can't continue filming this drama." Wen Sining said.

The director immediately said it was okay. After such an incident on the set, the other actors were all on edge.

When Lu Xuan saw Wen Sining, he put down his work and immediately came over.

"Ms. Wen."

Wen Sining nodded as a greeting. Then she looked at the director. "I'd like to check all the surveillance footage on the set to find out what exactly caused this accident."

Hearing Wen Sining's words, Lu Xuan was startled. His eyes began to dodge, and his mind raced. He only had one thought: he must never let Wen Sining check the surveillance, or their deeds would be exposed.

"Ms. Wen, it must be a problem on the props side. They've already checked and found that when Xiao Xiao was hanging in mid - air, the wire kept rubbing, which caused it to break, and that's why she fell from mid - air." Lu Xuan made up what he thought was a reasonable explanation. At this moment, they couldn't think of any other reason.

"Really?" Wen Sining looked at him. She still had her doubts and didn't fully trust his words.

Lu Xuan nodded firmly. Afraid that Wen Sining wouldn't believe him, he added, "I've checked the surveillance. That area is exactly a blind spot, and there's nothing to be seen." He was trying his best to stop Wen Sining from checking the surveillance.

Hearing this, Wen Sining gave him a suspicious look. "Is that so?"

"Ms. Wen, how could I lie to you about this? Right now, the most important thing is to appease the netizens. If this thing blows up, it won't do us any good." Lu Xuan directly changed the topic.

Wen Sining thought it made sense. This incident had indeed caused quite a stir on the Internet. If they didn't handle it, people would only think they were heartless.

Thinking this way, she turned to the director beside her and said, "You issue a statement now and tell the netizens that Xiao Xiao's condition is not very serious."

The director nodded. "Ms. Wen, leave this to me."

Wen Sining was about to say something else when her phone in her pocket vibrated twice. She took it out and saw that it was Zhang Jiarou calling.

"I'll go answer the phone." After saying that, she walked aside with her phone.

Lu Xuan let out a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Sining walk away. Fortunately, she didn't keep harping on this matter.

"Ms. Wen, Teacher Xiao is here." As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Jiarou said.

"Teacher Xiao?" Wen Sining didn't know who she was referring to.

"Xiao Zhan."

"Why is he here?" Wen Sining asked. Then, after a moment's thought, since they both had the surname Xiao, she wondered if there was some relationship between them.

"I don't know either." Zhang Jiarou replied.

"Then I'll go there now."

Anyway, there was nothing else for her to deal with on the set.

Zhang Jiarou responded and then hung up the phone.

After saying goodbye to the director, Wen Sining left.

She drove to the hospital. There weren't many cars on the road at this time, so she arrived quickly.

After parking the car, she went in and took the elevator directly to Xiao Xiao's ward.

As soon as she got out of the elevator and entered the corridor, she saw someone standing in front of Xiao Xiao's ward.

She quickened her pace and found that it was Xiao Zhan.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan also saw Wen Sining. "Sining." He called out.

Wen Sining nodded. "Why are you here?"

"Xiao Xiao is my cousin." Xiao Zhan explained their relationship.

He came because he saw the news on the Internet.

Only then did Wen Sining understand. She hadn't expected that they were cousins. Xiao Xiao had never mentioned this before.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything because she didn't want to be known by others through Xiao Zhan's fame. She wanted to rely on her own abilities.

"Why don't you go in?" Wen Sining pointed inside.

"Xiao Xiao's friend is inside."

Wen Sining looked inside through the small window on the door and was surprised to find Yun Chuchu there. Xiao Xiao was also awake.

It was obvious that Yun Chuchu was comforting her.

But Wen Sining thought she was just pretending. Maybe Yun Chuchu was somehow involved in Xiao Xiao's injury.

Xiao Zhan didn't know what Wen Sining was thinking. He also didn't know Yun Chuchu.

"By the way, how's Xiao Xiao's condition now?" What he saw on the Internet was only one - sided.

As soon as this was mentioned, Wen Sining felt guilty. She told Xiao Zhan everything that had happened, without any concealment.

"So that's what happened. This has nothing to do with you. Actually, to be honest, I tried to stop Xiao Xiao from entering the entertainment industry at first, but she loves this industry, so I didn't say anything more." Xiao Zhan said. Who would have thought that she would get herself injured.

"Xiao Xiao has great talent as an actress." Wen Sining said this sincerely.

Xiao Zhan nodded. He knew that Xiao Xiao had signed with a company, but he didn't expect it to be Wen Sining's. It was a kind of fate in a way.

Wen Sining looked down at the time. "Let's go out for a meal together. We can also bring a meal back for Xiao Xiao."

"Okay." Xiao Zhan agreed.

The two of them went out. Wen Sining sent a message to her assistant, telling her not to go out to buy food and to take good care of Xiao Xiao.

After going out, they had a simple meal outside. Since Wen Sining was worried about Xiao Xiao, she finished eating quickly.

"You go first." Xiao Zhan said.

"Aren't you going in?" Didn't he come to see Xiao Xiao?

Xiao Zhan shook his head. "I still have some things to deal with later. I'll come again when I have time next time."

Wen Sining nodded. She took the food she bought back. Since it wasn't far from the hospital, she only had to cross a street to get there.
