Qin Yu pushed the treatment car into the room and came to Cheng Xia's bedside: "Shaoze, I'll change Cheng Xia's medicine." Pei Shaoze immediately got up and moved away, looking at Cheng Xia worriedly.

Cheng Xia raised her head and smiled at Qin Yu, as if she was embarrassed.

Qin Yu met the clear eyes of the young man, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he felt. He took out a sterile cotton swab to detoxify Cheng Xia's wound, put on clean gauze swiftly on his hands and feet, and comforted softly, "Don't worry, your wound is not deep, I used dermatological sutures for you. , there will be no visible scars after healing.”

Cheng Xia didn't care about the issue of "leaving scars or not". The injury under the collarbone could not be seen even if she wore short sleeves in summer. But the gentle attitude of Dr. Beta, Qin Yu, made Cheng Xia feel a lot more relaxed. He looked up at the other party and said seriously, "Thank you Dr. Qin, I will trouble you this time."

A well-behaved and sensible Omega is easy to make people feel good. Qin Yu's affection for Cheng Xia is rising, and he even thinks that Cheng Xia is Pei Shaoze's good match. Maybe Pei Shaoze has recently accepted his heart and started to work seriously, because he was given by Cheng Xia. Affected? Sure enough, when you meet the right person, a playboy can turn his back on his wrongdoing, and a prodigal son can turn back!

Pei Shaoze saw Qin Yu's expression and knew that he had misunderstood again. Pei Shaoze didn't intend to explain, it was almost two in the morning, and when Qin Yu finished changing the medicine, he went to the bedside and said to Cheng Xia, "You were frightened today, so have a good sleep first. I will handle the aftermath. Rest in peace, don't think about it, you know?"

Cheng Xia obediently said "um", looked at Pei Shaoze and said, "Mr. Pei, go back and rest. It's two o'clock. You must be very tired from catching a plane from Ya'an. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The young man's caring words warmed Pei Shaoze's heart. He stretched out his hand and gently helped Cheng Xia cover the quilt: "I'll go first. If I have anything, I'll call Dr. Qin. He's on the night shift tonight."

Cheng Xia nodded: "Mr. Pei good night."

Pei Shaoze turned off the lights and went out with Qin Yu.

Qin Yu patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Cheng Xia is very good. Since you like him, cherish him."

Pei Shaoze didn't answer directly: "Thank you, I owe you another favor."

"The friendship that grew up wearing open-crotch pants, why are you being polite to me!" Qin Yu laughed and continued, "By the way, Cheng Xia's injury is not serious, you don't need to worry too much, go back to sleep."

"Well, I'll see him tomorrow. I'll leave it to you at the hospital."

Pei Shaoze turned around and went downstairs. He happened to meet Zhou Yan who was rushing back at the elevator entrance. The two almost collided. Zhou Yan's eyes widened, thinking he was hallucinating: "Pei, President Pei? Are you not in Ya'an..."

"I changed my ticket and came back." Pei Shaoze frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What was the situation at that time?"

Zhou Yan was also in shock. Cheng Xia's wound had been treated. Doctor Qin said that the injury was not serious, so she felt relieved a little and went to the 24-hour convenience store to buy some daily necessities for Cheng Xia.

Seeing Pei Shaoze's sharp gaze, Zhou Yan's back trembled, she quickly sorted out her thoughts, and explained, "According to the original arrangement of this scene, Qin Nian will help Lu Feng and Yang block the sword, which is also the reason why the two of them changed from strangers to The key opportunity for good buddies. The filming went well at the beginning, but when the seven people were fighting, one of the group actors accidentally injured Cheng Xia."

"Accidental injury?" Pei Shaoze's eyes were sharp, "You checked for a long time and came to the conclusion that it was accidental injury?"

"Uh... Director Liu found the source of the knife. The knife was bought by the crew a few days ago to cut fruit. Because it was similar to the knife prepared by the props group, the group accidentally took the knife by mistake. Wei Qunyan is a college student, he didn't go home during the holidays and wanted to do odd jobs to earn some money, and he didn't know Cheng Xia at all, so there shouldn't be any reason to hurt Cheng Xia intentionally, right?" Zhou Yan's words were very disturbing, especially when President Pei sharpened him. Looking at her, she felt like a criminal suspect facing questioning from the police.

"Understood, I'll go to the crew to confirm." Pei Shaoze didn't say much, looked at Zhou Yan, and whispered, "Take care of Cheng Xia, I don't want this to happen a second time."

"Yes, President Pei, I will definitely learn my lesson!" Zhou Yan hurriedly assured.

"Go, it's hard work." Pei Shaoze nodded at her, turned and walked to the parking lot in front of the hospital.

accidental injury? Pei Shaoze always felt that things were not that simple.

How could the knife that the crew bought to cut fruit be confused with the knife that the props crew was going to use for filming? It just happened to be wrong by the group performance? If the staff of the crew were all negligent, those actors who filmed martial arts scenes would have died dozens of times.

Pei Shaoze took a deep breath and walked quickly to the car.

When he opened the car door, Pei Shaoyan was scanning his phone in the back row. Seeing his brother getting into the car, he hurriedly asked worriedly, "Brother, is Cheng Xia okay?"

Pei Shaoze said: "Fortunately, the injury is not serious."

Pei Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief: "I just swiped through all the entertainment news yesterday with my mobile phone. There is no website reporting this. It should be hidden from the crew. No media reporters know that Cheng Xia was injured."

Pei Shaoze said coldly, "I asked Director Liu to keep it a secret. Once the situation becomes serious, those reporter paparazzi will rush to the hospital to disturb Cheng Xia's rest. No matter what the outcome of this matter is, it is best to handle it in secret." He said to the driver in the front row: "Uncle Zhong, go to Seventeen Middle School."

The new driver was found by Zhang Fan for Pei Shaoze. His surname was Zhong and he was forty-five years old. Hearing this, he replied, "Okay, President Pei."

Pei Shaoyan was stunned: "Brother, go to Seventeen High School? You won't sleep tonight?"

Pei Shaoze's face was cold: "Director Liu checked it for a long time and said it was accidental injury. I don't believe it. I want to go and see for myself."

Seventeen Middle School is not far from Binjiang Private Hospital, not to mention that there are not many cars on the street in the early morning. Uncle Zhong drove at the highest speed and arrived in less than 10 minutes.

When the two brothers got out of the car and walked into the school, it was ten ten in the morning.

The school was brightly lit. Obviously, when something like this happened at night during filming, no one dared to sleep. Especially Liu Xueyi, he was restless after receiving a call from President Pei before, and has been waiting for President Pei to come back.

Pei Shaoyan followed up with his brother and whispered: "Why would someone bring a real knife into the set during filming? Brother, don't you think this is not easy, does Cheng Xia have any enemies?"

Pei Shaoze frowned and thought, and after a while he said, "Let's talk at the scene."

When the two came to the set, Director Liu, screenwriter Xu, the author, and props, lighting, photography and other staff had not dispersed, and the scene remained the same. Several extras looked terrified. Liu Xueyi saw Pei Shaoze and quickly stepped forward. Lai: "Mr. Pei, I'm really sorry. The crew had to make you come back overnight."

Pei Shaoze's eyes swept to several extras: "Who stabbed Cheng Xia?"

Liu Xueyi pointed to the red-haired young man who was squatting there smoking, Pei Shaoze looked over, the young man met Alpha's sharp eyes, a chill down his spine, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's none of my business, the knife is given to me by the props team. Yes! There was no problem during the rehearsal in the afternoon, how do I know that when the film was officially filmed, it turned into a real knife!"

Pei Shaoze asked lightly, "What's your name?"

The young man replied in a low voice, "Zhou, Zhou Peng."

Pei Shaoze ignored him and asked Liu Xueyi in a low voice, "Is there an archive of the original film?"

Liu Xueyi nodded: "Yes, Mr. Pei, do you want to see it yourself?"

"Well, go to the next conference room and show me the big screen." Pei Shaoze glanced at the extras, "I will check this matter, if it is really our props team's mistake, I will give you spiritual compensation, please A few wait a moment."

Director Liu brought the staff and President Pei to the conference room commonly used by the crew and connected the machine to the projection screen.

Pei Shaoze sat in the first place, his face was serious, his eyes seemed to freeze. Alpha's powerful aura shocked everyone at the scene, the entire conference room was silent, and the projection screen began to play the group of scenes shot at night.

In the picture, Cheng Xia and Shen Kai are back to back, working together to deal with the five gangsters around. Cheng Xia's play is neat and handsome, sweeping the gangster next to him to the ground, then turning around to block the guy on the side. Shen Kai's attack was also very cooperative, and the scene was filmed smoothly.

The scene of the battle was fierce. The camera recorded that one of the gangsters suddenly took out a knife from his pocket after falling to the ground.

Since the script required a close-up of the knife, this scene happened to be captured by the No. 2 camera.

Pei Shaoze pressed pause, zoomed in on the picture, and fixed it on the knife. He asked in a deep voice, "Props team, does this knife look the same as the one you made?"

The head of the props group said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, President Pei, because the gangster used a fruit knife in this scene, so the props we made refer to the shape of the fruit knife, and try to make it as similar as possible, so that the audience can see it. won't play..."

At this time, there were two knives on the table, one was a fake knife made by the props group, and the other was a real knife that hurt Cheng Xia. From the outside, the two knives are indeed very close.

Under the gazes of everyone, Pei Shaoze suddenly picked up one of the knives and stabbed the back of his hand suddenly!

Everyone at the scene gasped in horror—

However, when the sharp knife touched the back of his hand, it automatically retracted, leaving the back of his hand intact. Pei Shaoze threw the prop knife on the table with a "pop", raised his eyebrows and asked, "I can tell which one is the real knife. You guys specialize in making props. Can you tell the difference between a real knife and a fake knife?"

The head of the props group shook his back and hurriedly explained in a trembling voice: "Before filming at night, I did check the props, and the knife was fine. After checking, I put the props in a place where the group can reach..."

Pei Shaoze said coldly: "Since you are sure to check, it must be before the filming, someone took advantage of the chaos to replace the knife."

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the scene took a deep breath - the staff made a mistake with the wrong knife, and someone deliberately changed the knife, this is not a concept at all! Change the knife, it's murder!

This is too serious.

Liu Xueyi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Pei Shaoze continued to play the film, replaying the scene in which Cheng Xia was injured in slow motion.

On the screen, someone stabbed Cheng Xia with a knife. A lot of blood gushed out from Cheng Xia's chest. The dazzling blood soon dyed his white sweater red. Cheng Xia's eyes widened slightly. He noticed that he was injured, and his right hand hurried. Holding his chest, the severe pain made his whole face contort, his eyes were full of panic, and his face was terrifyingly pale...

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Pei Shaoze felt a little pain in his heart, as if someone had cut his nerves with a knife.

He was really distressed. I wish I could go back to yesterday and pull the boy into my arms to protect it well.

The people in the conference room clearly noticed that the air pressure around President Pei was getting lower and lower. The Alpha sitting there was like an ice sculpture emitting cold air all around. Everyone was careful to breathe, for fear of angering President Pei.

Pei Shaoze suddenly said, "Pay attention to this person's movements."

He endured the distress and replayed the scene just now in slow motion.

Liu Xueyi also saw something wrong at this time: "The actions of this group are different from those taught by the action director?"

The action director came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the action I taught at the time, he should swing the knife to the right to chop Shen Kai who is closest to him, then Cheng Xia will turn to block, and then the knife should hurt Cheng Xia's arm is right."

Pei Shaoze paused the screen and used the mouse to mark an arc on the screen: "He did not swing the knife to the right, but to the diagonally upward, this is not to stab Shen Kai at all, but to cross out Cheng Xia's face. ."

Everyone looked at the trajectory of the swing drawn by Pei Shaoze with the mouse—the final point of the blade was indeed Cheng Xia's face.

The air at the scene seemed to be pulled away in an instant, and the faces of the staff became uglier than the last.

The most important thing for an actor is his face. Once the face is destroyed, Cheng Xia's future acting career will be over, let alone playing the male lead, it is difficult for an actor with a scar on his face to get a suitable role, and it is impossible to take this road with confidence.

Pei Shaoze clenched his fist tightly. He could not imagine that Cheng Xia was accidentally scratched in the face yesterday... The young boy just started this road, and he tried so hard to act well, but he was malicious Disfigured, how sad, how sad should he be? ! Thinking of this, Pei Shaoze wanted to catch Zhou Peng, the culprit, and beat him hard!

Fortunately, Cheng Xia fought with people since he was a child, and he has very rich experience in actual combat. Judging from the pictures taken, he should have sensed something was wrong at the time, and subconsciously blocked it with his arm. below the collarbone. It was also this crucial first block that weakened the strength of the blade and did not cause serious injuries.

Liu Xueyi's face was distressed, and he couldn't help but burst out a foul language: "Fuck it! Are you trying to ruin Cheng Xia?"

Pei Shaoze's sharp eyes swept to the assistant director: "What is the origin of this Zhou Peng, have you checked it?"

The assistant director realized the seriousness of the problem, and his lips trembled: "I, I was looking for it by handing out flyers nearby. The five group performers are all students of vocational school. I don’t know Cheng Xia at all…”

"Don't know? Deliberately hurting someone with a knife, this is a criminal case!" Pei Shaoze kept the murder weapon on the table in a sealed bag, glanced at the audience, and said sternly, "I will hand over the evidence to the police. Inform all the workers. Personnel, if anyone leaks a word about Cheng Xia's injury to outsiders, get me out of the crew immediately!!"

Alpha's stern voice made everyone's heart skip a beat.

This is the first time everyone has seen President Pei lose such a big temper. It seems that he is really angry this time.
