100: Zhang Shangguan Hu was injured
"What happened?" Shen Yi immediately switched to a cold and aloof 'big sister' persona.
"Shangguan Hu's assistant called. He had a scene with a wirework harness today. Everything was fine during the initial check, but the wire snapped shortly after he was hoisted up." The secretary showed her the video sent by the assistant.
"Have someone investigate this. We must get to the bottom of it. I'm going to the hospital now." Shen Yi told her to take the team and head to the film set immediately.
As the chairperson, since Gao Ying already knew about it, she naturally had to go visit her employee.
The two arrived at the hospital, and Shen Yi was even prepared to support her as they walked.
But looking at the person walking with such a brisk pace ahead of her, Shen Yi suspected that the claim of the boss being blind was just a trick to fool her.
"Why aren't you moving? Hurry up." Noticing no movement behind her, Gao Ying stopped and called out to her.
"Oh, coming."
Getting into the elevator, Shen Yi reached out and waved her hand in front of Gao Ying's eyes.
"Stop waving. I'm truly blind; I can't see." Gao Ying accurately caught her hand.
"No, Boss, with your precise movements and brisk walking, telling me you're blind is really hard not to suspect." Shen Yi pulled her hand back and grumbled.
"I am blind, but when you can't see with your eyes, your other senses become very sharp," Gao Ying explained.
"Anyway, no matter how I look at it, you don't seem like a blind person," Shen Yi muttered.
Reaching the floor, the two stepped out.
"This leg injury isn't light. Can you still film this movie?" Shen Yi asked, looking at Shangguan Hu's X-rays.
"It's fine. I'm almost finished with my scenes anyway. The remaining ones don't require wirework, and the period costumes are quite loose, so it's no problem." Shangguan Hu answered her verbally, but his eyes were fixed on Gao Ying.
"What? Do you have something to say to me?" Gao Ying keenly felt his gaze.
"It's nothing. I just didn't expect you to come," Shangguan Hu said.
"You're my employee. Since I knew about it, it's only right that I come. Has the accident been investigated? Who tampered with it?" Gao Ying asked.
Shangguan Hu: "A video was just sent over. It was a logistics worker. We've already called the police to arrest them."
"Fugui, whose person is that logistics worker?" Gao Ying asked.
[Points deducted. Sister, that logistics worker was bribed by a minor actor from Yujun Entertainment.
Originally, he also wanted to audition for Shangguan Hu's role, but unfortunately, he was a step too late.
Recently, some behind-the-scenes clips of Shangguan Hu's acting went viral. The minor actor got angrier the more he thought about it, so he did this.]
"A minor actor wouldn't do this on his own. So, who is the person behind him?" Gao Ying didn't believe a newly debuted minor actor would have the guts to do such a thing.
[Behind him is a high-level executive from Yujun Entertainment. This minor actor is the 'pretty boy' type and is quite good-looking. To save himself years of struggle, he hooked up with that executive.]
"I'm more curious nowβis that executive male or female?" You couldn't blame her for gossiping; anyone would want to know the details in this situation.
[Female. That executive is also robbing the cradle; she's 58 this year, but she's Fugui.]
"Does that executive know about this?" Gao Ying asked.
[She knows. That minor actor cried and complained to her, twisting the facts by saying Shangguan Hu stole his role, so he wanted to scare him a bit.]
"Rest well. This matter will be resolved soon," Gao Ying said, looking in Shangguan Hu's direction.
At that moment, a doctor came over and asked someone to come discuss Shangguan Hu's condition.
"Boss, just stay here and don't leave. I'll be back soon. If you need to use the restroom, have Shangguan Hu ring the bell for a nurse. You absolutely must not go out alone.
Otherwise, if those men in your house find out, they'll definitely skin me alive." Shen Yi repeatedly cautioned her before leaving.
"Don't worry. It's just my eyes that can't see; everything else is fine. If anyone dares to come, it definitely won't be me who gets hurt." Gao Ying rubbed her temples and waved her off.
"Shangguan Hu, hurry up and call your assistant to come here." Shen Yi was still uneasy and told Shangguan Hu to make the call.
"How can your eyes not see? How is he taking care of you?" Shangguan Hu walked over to her side on crutches.
Looking at her eyes, he wanted to reach out and touch them, but he pulled back.
"Your leg is injured, yet you're still moving around. Do you think the injury isn't serious enough?
Go back and lie down. Also, they take very good care of me; you don't need to worry." Gao Ying pointed to the bed and spoke coldly.
[Sister, Shangguan Hu likes you, and he's also very handsome. Why are you always so impatient with him?] Fugui was truly curious.
Sister must know that Shangguan Hu has feelings for her, but during these few meetings, Sister seemed to have a lot of issues with him.
"I don't know why, but whenever I'm near him, I just want to bully him.
So, to keep myself from bullying the kid, I treat him a bit more coldly. That way, over time, he probably won't like me anymore."
Actually, Gao Ying also found it strange. From the first glance at Shangguan Hu, she felt he belonged to the yandere type, and she felt as if she had bullied him before.
Fugui's thoughts panicked to the point of glitching into garbled code upon hearing her words.
This Shangguan Hu was indeed a villain in one of the worlds. Gao Ying's mission back then was to kill the villain and return the world to its proper course.
But an accident occurred that time, and Gao Ying transmigrated to when the villain was still a child.
Then Gao Ying gave up the idea of killing the villain and instead taught him positive things from a young age.
When teaching a child, it's inevitable to have moments of intense emotion, so he often had his palms smacked.
When Xi Yan and the others appeared earlier, Sister didn't show any abnormalities. Why was there a problem when it came to Shangguan Hu?
Could it be because he was the cub she raised herself, so the feelings were different?
Fugui urgently told Yin Lin about this and asked him what was going on.
"It's likely related to Shangguan Hu's self-detonation. To avenge Ying'er, he fell into the demonic path and eventually perished along with those who harmed her."
"In the Cultivation World, souls can regroup after death. Shangguan Hu spent a thousand years back then collecting Ying'er's soul."
"Unfortunately, he only found a sliver of her remnant soul in the end. Finally, he self-detonated with that sliver of soul, which is why Ying'er reacts to him," Yin Lin explained.
[So among all of you, Shangguan Hu spent the longest time with Sister, which is why there are some images of him from that time in her memory.] Fugui's remark was like an arrow piercing Yin Lin's heart.
He also wanted to live with Ying'er for a thousand or a hundred years, but his world was just a normal, ordinary one. How could it compare!
[Sister, haven't you heard a saying?] Knowing the reason, Fugui prepared to help Shangguan Hu; after all, he was quite pitiful.
"What saying?"
[It's that the person you want to bully for no reason is your lover from a past life. You and Shangguan Hu must have been a couple in a past life.]
"Nonsense. In my past life, I didn't even hold a man's hand," Gao Ying argued for herself.
[Not in that world of yours, but the life before the last, or the one before that. Anyway, you must have been lovers or a married couple in one of your lives.
And you definitely have feelings for him.] Fugui's tone was firm.
