When Siyu saw Fifth Master Lu, she was immediately stunned.
At that time, when the crew was on fire, she vaguely felt that someone had rushed into the fire to carry her out. In a hazy glance, she seemed to see that the person was Fifth Master Lu. However, since she woke up, Fifth Master Lu had not appeared even once. This made Si Yu wonder if she was hallucinating because of the smoke.
Lu Xingzhou said that Fifth Master Lu went to deal with the culprit of the arson, but for some reason, he took so long to deal with it. He was nowhere to be seen for several days. Siyu had been holding back the words of thanks in her heart, but she had nowhere to say them. For the first time, she looked forward to him appearing in front of her.
Owing a favor was not so easy to repay, not to mention that Fifth Master had saved her life this time.
Now that Fifth Master Lu suddenly appeared in the ward, although Siyu was still a little afraid out of conditioned reflex, she quickly remembered that this person had saved her, so this trace of fear was suppressed. She pursed her lips and took the initiative to smile sweetly at Fifth Master Lu. She obediently called out, "Fifth Master."
Fifth Master Lu looked at her from afar. This little girl looked much better. She must have been well nourished. At that time, when he rescued her, she was lying weakly in his arms, her face as white as paper. Fifth Master Lu did not want to recall that scene. Now that he saw that Siyu had recovered well, his heart that was full of hostility calmed down a little.
He personally rushed to deal with the mastermind who had stolen the props. In fact, these things should not have been handled by him. For some reason, he had always been warned not to get angry, not to kill too many people, and to cultivate his body and calm his mind. His self-control had always been very strong, but for some reason, when it came to Siyu, especially when he saw her being tormented with his own eyes, Fifth Master Lu was a little unable to control himself.
Of course, these things did not need to be told to Siyu. Fifth Master Lu slowly walked in, glanced at the sweet smile on Siyu's face, and curled his lips slightly.
This little girl had always been scared to death of him. Why did her personality suddenly change?
Siyu even pushed her brother to sit on the other side of the bed, leaving the chair empty. She eagerly offered the tiger apple that Ji Lin had peeled earlier. "Mr. Wu, please try it. Lu Xingzhou just sent it over this morning."
Ji Lin stared at the little tiger that he had painstakingly peeled off after wasting several apples. That was something he used to make his sister happy!
He glared at the man who had suddenly appeared, feeling indignant. However, he knew his limits. He knew that Fifth Master Lu had saved his sister's life, so he did not say anything to stop him. He only looked at Siyu with resentful eyes.
"What are you looking at? You want to eat too?" Siyu poked a pufferfish-shaped apple, which she had strongly requested Ji Lin to peel, and then stuffed it directly into his mouth. Ji Lin was caught off guard and had a big piece of apple stuffed into his mouth. He quickly puffed up his cheeks, and now he really looked like a pufferfish.
Fifth Master Lu lowered his head and looked at the "little tiger" in his hand. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly chuckled. "You really know how to pick." There were dozens of small animal-shaped apples in the fruit bowl, and Siyu had chosen this one at a glance. It seemed that she subconsciously thought that he was born in the year of the tiger?
Siyu glanced at him and did not dare to say that she actually felt that tiger was not the most appropriate animal for Fifth Master Lu. The most suitable animal for Fifth Master Lu should be a wolf, a big-tailed wolf.
"But compared to the one you picked, I still prefer rabbits." Fifth Master Lu put the tiger apple back into the fruit bowl and used a toothpick to skewer another small rabbit apple. This little rabbit had just been treated violently by Ji Lin. Its two rabbit ears were half broken and it looked listless. Fifth Master Lu looked at it for a while. The more he looked, the more he felt that it looked like the little girl lying on the hospital bed.
Wasn't she listless and her rabbit ears were drooping?
In fact, Siyu did not expect this extremely picky owner to eat it. After all, who knew if apples were also on Fifth Master Lu's blacklist. But unexpectedly, he seemed to really like this little rabbit apple as he said. He lowered his eyes and stared at Siyu, eating it bite by bite.
Siyu: … Why do I always feel that the way he looks at people is frightening?
Fifth Master Lu naturally did not come empty-handed this time. He took out a small porcelain bottle and placed it at the bedside. Siyu opened it and took a look. It was still the extremely expensive pill. This time, she was too lazy to calculate how much money she had spent in her heart. In any case, she could not afford to pay for it …
"Is there someone who wants to send you supplements?" Fifth Master Lu suddenly asked.
Siyu was startled and subconsciously nodded. Then, she realized that the conversation between her and Ji Lin about Wen Yuan had been heard by this person. No, how long had he been eavesdropping?!
Fifth Master Lu still looked indifferent. "It's fine if you don't want that kind of defective product. Don't eat it. Be careful not to eat it and harm your body."
Si Yu thought about it and agreed. Medicine was 30% poisonous. Moreover, Fifth Master Lu gave her a big pile of medicine that she couldn't finish. Thus, she obediently replied with an "oh", indicating that she would distribute the medicine that Wen Yuan sent over to the others.
Only then was Fifth Master Lu satisfied. The cold air on his body receded a little. His hand twirling the prayer beads slowly, he said, "This incident was an accident, but in the end, it was the negligence of those people below. In the future, no matter where you go, at least have someone follow you to prevent this kind of thing from happening again."
After a pause, he smiled faintly and his eyes were cold. "However, if the fate of those instigators this time were to spread … probably no one would be so bold as to make a move on you again."
His voice seemed to be soaked in a thick smell of blood. Siyu was very sensitive to the changes in his aura. She immediately turned her face away and coughed. Ji Lin hurriedly grabbed a towel and helped her wipe away the bloodstains. Ji Lin was not afraid of anything. Only his sister was the most important. Therefore, even though he also felt that Fifth Master Lu was not to be trifled with, when he saw Siyu coughing so hard, he turned his head and glared at him.
"My sister still needs to rest!" Ji Lin looked like he wanted to drive him away.
Fifth Master Lu looked at Ji Lin's fearless appearance and raised his eyebrows. Other than Siyu, this kid was the second person who dared to talk to him like this … These two people were indeed brother and sister.
After Siyu heard this, she coughed even harder. As she coughed, she reached out and quietly tugged at Ji Lin's sleeve. Silly child, don't provoke this humanoid monster. Today you have a good time, but in the future, your sister will have to suffer for it.
Not only did Ji Lin not understand his sister's meaning, he even thought that she was giving him courage. Therefore, he straightened his back and said to Fifth Master Lu, "The visitation time here is only fifteen minutes. Shouldn't you leave?"
Siyu's expression was numb. Silly brother, why didn't you cower when you should have?
Fifth Master Lu unexpectedly did not get angry. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had heard something funny. With a smile, he asked, "You've been here for a few days. Why don't you leave?"
Ji Lin puffed out his chest proudly. "I'm a family member!"
Fifth Master Lu smiled and looked at Siyu, who was curled up in the sheets. The little girl was trying her best to curl up and reduce her presence, trying not to be noticed at this sensitive time. However, things did not go as she wished. Fifth Master Lu lifted her out of the sheets with one hand, stroked her long black hair, and said calmly,
"This sanatorium belongs to me in the first place." So, who can stop me from staying in my own territory for as long as I want?
Ji Lin choked on his words.
Siyu felt the gentle strength of Fifth Master Lu's hand on her head and wanted to cry. Little Ji Lin, you should be more careful. Why are you in such a hurry to be stupid?
…
At the same time, the crew of "Lethal Beauty" discussed for a long time and finally released an official announcement to explain the fire incident.
In fact, the follow-up of the incident was completely handled by the Lu family. Only Director Liang vaguely figured out the inside story and knew that the incident might be related to the Lu family's enemies. The others did not know anything and really thought that the props team was not properly managed.
The props team was wronged. Fortunately, the Lu family caught the warehouse manager for incompetent management. In the end, the crew used this person as a scapegoat. Those who should be punished were punished and those who should be sued were sued. Finally, the public opinion outside was appeased.
However, this time, Xu Qingwan had posted on Weibo without permission. She had recounted the thrilling experience at the time and mentioned that she was constantly injured on set. This had already aroused the disgust of many people. After all, there were so many people who put out the fire and many people who were slightly injured. They did not cry out miserably, so why was she so dramatic when it was her turn?
Moreover, it was a big taboo to act differently from the crew. Xu Qingwan actually knew this, but she could not care less. Seeing that Ji Lin was starting to block her path, if she did not rely on hype to accumulate fame, she might really not be able to get a good script anymore. This was a fatal injury for an artist who had ambitions to climb up the ranks.
However, the price Xu Qingwan paid was that the good reputation she had spent two whole months on set to accumulate was destroyed with her self-filmed complaining video.
Even Director Liang was quite critical of her. After all, in order to make herself look more pitiful, Xu Qingwan said a lot in the video that she had fallen ill many times on set and suffered many injuries. The public did not know about this. Hearing her say this, they thought that Director Liang and the crew were deliberately mistreating her!
How could this be! This Xu Qingwan really dared to say anything!
Therefore, when they finalized the final poster, Director Liang thought about it carefully and asked the art designer to change Xu Qingwan's position with Siyu's. Although this change was very small, it was equivalent to raising Siyu's position and making her the invisible second female lead!
After dealing with this mess, Director Liang suddenly remembered that Ji Lin had called and said that Siyu wanted to see the video left behind from the fire.
Director Liang had been too busy to think about it. He hurriedly asked someone to find the video and sat in front of the computer to watch it personally. At the beginning, the scene was still normal. However, when Xu Qingwan ignited the barrel of oil that had been replaced and the fire started, Director Liang felt that something was wrong.
This camera, which was fortunately not damaged by the fire, was positioned very far away. It could not see the entire scene and was only focused on a small corner. However, it just so happened that it could clearly capture one person, Xu Qingwan.
This Xu Qingwan … When the fire started, she quietly stood in the safe corner closest to the door. It was as if she had known that this would happen. Moreover, when everyone was panicking, she did not seem to be afraid at all. Instead, she was staring straight at a certain spot …
As a director, Director Liang had very strong control over his film. Almost in the next second, he remembered that the direction Xu Qingwan was staring at was where Siyu was standing!
She had been looking at Siyu all this time. Why?
Director Liang could not figure it out. However, very quickly, he discovered something even more shocking: Xu Qingwan … she had actually rolled up her sleeves and reached her hand into the fire!
