Su Yao recognized the man's voice. She had heard it on the film set, but she had never heard the woman's voice before.
"Quick! Find that thing. Otherwise, I'm doomed if we're discovered!" the man urged. Then came the sound of rummaging around.
"I'm looking. Don't be impatient."
But as they were looking, something seemed off. Su Yao seemed to hear the man's heavy breathing and the woman's muffled moans.
Su Yao was stunned on the spot. Before, she had been eager to watch Pei Yan and Miao Yue's steamy scene but missed it. Now, instead, she heard something like this here. It was a pity she couldn't see it, and she felt a bit disappointed.
Just as the passion reached its peak, Su Yao's phone rang. The sounds of the two people suddenly stopped.
Oh no! Who's calling at this moment? The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Su Yao was extremely panicked and didn't know what to do for a moment.
The man was enjoying himself when suddenly interrupted by the phone ringing. Filled with anger, he walked towards the source of the sound.
Behind the box lay a woman covered in blood. There was a bandage on her left wrist, and her phone was lying on the side, still ringing. When the time was up and no one answered, it hung up automatically.
"Who is it?" the woman asked.
"Who else? It's the suspect in the Wu Shanshan case a while ago, the leading actress of this drama," the man said with a tone of disgust. "Who would have thought she'd be lying here."
"Is this woman Su Yao? Is she dead?" The woman immediately squatted down to check Su Yao's breath. "She's still alive. Should we call the hospital?"
The man didn't say anything else. He kicked her and after a while, said, "Call! Otherwise, if the police really trace this back to us, we'll be in big trouble. We don't want them to investigate the safety wire incident together."
"Okay, fine." With that, the woman was about to go out to make the call.
"Wait!" The man bent down and picked up the safety wire lying on the side. "I'll make the call. You take this away and destroy it."
After saying that, the man whispered to himself, "I don't know which kind - hearted person helped me solve such a big problem."
Su Yao was lying on the ground, her heart pounding wildly. She was afraid of being discovered by these two people. The ambulance arrived very quickly. When Su Yao was being carried onto it, she vaguely heard the nurse complaining about recent events.
"Why does this crew keep having problems all the time? One after another is being carried in."
"Little sister, you can't say that," Su Yao suddenly opened her eyes and teased the young nurse.
"Ah!" The people sitting in the back were all startled by Su Yao. "What's wrong with you?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Don't tell anyone about today's incident. If I hadn't pretended, you might really have to rescue me. Just act as if everything is normal. Later, if you want anyone's autograph, within my ability, I'll get it for you."
After a round of explanations, Su Yao was also sent to the hospital. This was also kept secret from the public, and it was necessary to hide the fact that Su Yao was pretending.
Su Yao managed to hide it from everyone except Ting Lan.
As soon as Ting Lan heard that Su Yao had also been admitted to the hospital that day, she felt even more guilty. She pulled out the syringe and rushed to Su Yao's ward.
To make it more realistic, Su Yao specifically asked the doctor to wrap her head properly. Unexpectedly, when Ting Lan saw her, she immediately lay on Su Yao and cried loudly.
Oh no! It seemed she had overdone it. Su Yao was afraid of nothing in the world but women crying.
Next to them stood Yan Nuo with a serious expression and Jiang He looking extremely anxious. They showed no intention of helping her console Ting Lan.
"It's okay, it's okay, Ting Lan. Let's get up and talk properly."
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me..." Ting Lan was sobbing so hard that she could hardly catch her breath. Su Yao immediately covered her mouth to prevent her from revealing the matter, and then glanced at Yan Nuo and Jiang He.
Yan Nuo understood what Su Yao meant. He turned to look at the director beside him. "Director, let's go out. It's a matter between women. It's not appropriate for us to get involved."
After the two left, Su Yao finally said, "I'm fine. I was pretending. I did encounter some trouble, but it's all over now."
"What... exactly happened?" Now it was Ting Lan's turn to be stunned. There were still tears on her face, looking extremely pitiful.
"Alright, alright. It's like this..."
Su Yao told Ting Lan everything she had witnessed in the prop warehouse. She was also glad that there was fake blood beside her at that time. She simply opened the bag and smeared it on her face, which helped her get through the situation.
When her eyes were closed and she was extremely nervous, her other senses became more sensitive. Su Yao even knew what the man had asked the woman to dispose of in the end. It was the damaged safety wire.
Even an outsider like her could see something fishy in it, not to mention those who were professional in this field. But what was this person's motive for harming Ting Lan?
"Ting Lan, go to the director and ask for an explanation. Get me a list of the crew members from the director."
"But..."
"Don't be afraid," Su Yao patted her on the shoulder. "If you go, the director will definitely give it to you. After all, you're in the right. And Director Jiang He is not an unreasonable person. Now the news of my injury should slow down things in the crew. Their focus is probably on me, which makes it more convenient to secretly investigate what happened to you."
"Okay, I'll go. I'll also ask the doctor to move us to the same ward."
"No!" Su Yao stopped her. "If we're together, our purpose will be too obvious. You can come and find me on the pretext of being bored, but don't stay with me. The person who tried to harm you may be spreading the news that he saved me. Keep an eye on this."
Ting Lan nodded and reluctantly walked out.
During this period, Pei Yan had received many text messages from Yan Nuo. At first, they were all kinds of praises for Su Yao. After reading for a while, Pei Yan didn't want to read anymore.
It wasn't until one afternoon when he suddenly wanted to check that it was already two days after the incident. There were two unread messages. One was about Ting Lan's accident. Su Yao had a recurrence of her injury while trying to save her. The second was about Su Yao's own accident, and there was even a photo attached.
In the photo, Su Yao was wearing a huge bandage on her head, still smiling brightly. For some reason, Pei Yan felt a pang in his heart and had an urgent desire to see Su Yao.
By the time he realized he had been too impulsive, he had already booked a flight to Su Yao's place.
After the plane landed, he still had to transfer to a car. After a long and tiring journey, he finally arrived at the hospital where Su Yao was.
The numbers in the elevator kept rising. Pei Yan was constantly thinking of an excuse for his visit. But when he pushed open the door of Su Yao's ward, he realized he had been overthinking.
"You're here?" Su Yao was holding playing cards in her hand, and Ting Lan across from her also had some. "Perfect, Pei Yan. Come here. Let's play Landlord."
