"Thank you so much, director." Lu Jinnian's assistant politely thanked the director before saying goodbye to the two of them. He picked up his phone, dialing Lu Jinnian's number as he turned to leave.
The director said apologetically to Qiao Anhao, "Xiao Qiao, your makeup might have gone to waste again today."
"It's okay." Qiao Anhao glanced at the assistant, who had walked a distance away, then said to the director, "Director, if there's nothing else, I'll go remove my makeup and head back to the hotel."
"Okay."
"Goodbye." Qiao Anhao smiled at the director, then turned to chase after Lu Jinnian's assistant, blocking his way.
"Miss Qiao?" Lu Jinnian's assistant stopped in his tracks, putting down the phone that he still couldn't get through to politely ask, "What's the matter?"
"Lu Jinnian, is he injured?" Qiao Anhao asked directly.
The assistant thought back to Lu Jinnian's instructions yesterday, and paused for a moment, maintaining a polite smile. "Sorry..."
"I know he's injured." Qiao Anhao didn't wait for the assistant to finish speaking, cutting him off.
The assistant gulped, not saying a word.
"His back is injured, right?" Qiao Anhao continued to ask.
The assistant moved his lips, but in the end, he still nodded. He paused for a moment, then asked, "Miss Qiao, when Mr. Lu went to the gathering with you yesterday, did he drink a lot?"
When Qiao Anhao heard this, she instinctively lowered her eyes. Yesterday, when Lu Jinnian was playing rock-paper-scissors, because she knew the pattern of his punches, she caused him to lose many times, so he did drink a lot.
Yesterday, she really didn't know that he was injured... Qiao Anhao bit her lip, then gently nodded at the assistant.
"I knew it!" The assistant's tone suddenly became a little anxious. "His back is so badly injured, how could he drink? His wound must have gotten infected and worsened, so he went into hiding. It was the same when he was filming a period drama. Because he didn't have a body double, he didn't pay attention during the fight and twisted the tendon in his left leg. He didn't tell anyone until four days later, in the hotel room, when he came out of the shower, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. That's when I found out he was injured! "
Speaking up to this point, the assistant became furious. "Four days. He twisted his tendons and held on for four days. His ankle was swollen like a steamed bun. When he was sent to the hospital, the doctor said that if he held on for four days, his foot would be crippled!"
"I really don't know what's wrong with Mr. Lu. He's always like this. Whenever he's injured or sick, he'll either go into hiding without saying a word, or he'll just force himself not to say anything. I really don't know what's going on in his mind. Doesn't he know how to cry out in pain? You don't even know how to care for yourself! "
"Where do you think we should find him? He won't pick up my calls or reply to my messages! " The assistant couldn't help pacing back and forth impatiently. He kept muttering, "I'm so anxious. I don't know how he is now."
"Miss Qiao, what do you think we should do?" As the assistant said this, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, only to see that she had already turned and walked far away.
After Qiao Anhao removed her makeup, she asked Zhao Meng for the car keys and drove off.
The filming location was in the south of Beijing, while Mount Yi was in the north. Qiao Anhao drove for nearly three hours before reaching Lu Jinnian's villa in Mount Yi.
