Why should I go to China for one patient?
This was indeed a good question!
When the doctor left the ward, he was somewhat dazed.
In a trance, miserable and wretched… The only reason an adult could not refuse an unreasonable proposal was, of course, that the offer was simply too generous!
The foreign doctor could hardly refuse Xie Qian’s proposal.
Back in China, Pei Yiyi had indeed firmly rejected some unreasonable demands.
But some people just could not understand human speech, mistaking others’ refusal for playing hard to get.
On the way to the destination, Wen Ying learned roughly about the situation from Yuan Fenghui.
Shui Mingyue’s adapted drama had investments from several parties, one of whom did not play by the rules. Others supported newcomers with mutual consent, but he was different. He believed forced melons were sweeter.
There had been incidents before, suppressed by this person, so the investor remained active in the circle.
Yuan Fenghui had managed the “Miracle Group” before. The group did not film in the mainland before becoming famous and no longer needed such investors after. Yuan Fenghui had never dealt directly with him.
After falling out with the “Miracle Group”, Yuan Fenghui did not stay down long. She soon made Li Mengjiao, Yun Chen, and Zhang Yangning stars. Now, with Tianjiao planning new dramas, plenty of people waved money to invest. Naturally, that person had no chance to embarrass himself before Yuan Fenghui.
From industry friends, Yuan Fenghui heard vague rumours about this investor. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Today, with Pei Yiyi and Shui Mingyue in trouble, it was likely this person’s doing.
“Pei Yiyi’s manager is unqualified. Situations I can inquire about, after Pei Yiyi has been in this crew so long, how could the manager not investigate? If Pei Yiyi was willing, fine, but clearly she is not. The manager’s phone off at this time likely means some tacit agreement with that investor.”
Yuan Fenghui analysed with a cold laugh.
Wen Ying was furious.
“This is more than unqualified. It is downright evil!”
Gong Sheng arrived before Wen Ying, but by timing, he had not reached yet.
The atmosphere in the minivan was heavy. Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui stopped talking. Wen Ying called again. They said police had been dispatched, no update yet.
Just as Wen Ying’s heart was in turmoil, imagining various irreversible bad scenarios, Gong Sheng called!
At this moment, Gong Sheng’s voice was truly music to her ears.
“The police have found them. Yes, both are okay, just a bit frightened. There was something wrong with their drinks. A hospital check should confirm no major issues.”
Wen Ying relaxed completely, then remembered Pei Yiyi’s assistant.
Gong Sheng said the assistant was found too.
The assistant avoided the drugging but had her phone snatched, got into a physical altercation, and sustained minor injuries.
Not only Wen Ying reported, but Gong Sheng’s friends did too. Multiple reports came in, forcing local police to take it seriously.
Police arrived promptly. Their presence deterred further harm to Pei Yiyi and Shui Mingyue.
Gong Sheng said the two girls were terrified.
His friends there were all men. Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui going would comfort Pei Yiyi and Shui Mingyue well.
“To avoid worrying you, I am giving the rough situation first. Details when we all arrive to handle.”
Gong Sheng said he would report to Xie Qian. Wen Ying, concerned and chaotic earlier, saw Xie Qian’s message only after hanging up.
Xie Qian was very worried too.
Wen Ying quickly replied: Fortunately in misfortune, it did not reach the worst.
Wen Ying praised Gong Sheng’s capability. Xie Qian did not mention President Peng’s help too. This favour Xie Qian owed himself.
Xie Qian told Wen Ying to focus on matters first, not worry about him.
Gong Sheng called Wen Ying, Yuan Fenghui heard everything clearly beside her.
Hearing Pei Yiyi and Shui Mingyue rescued timely, Yuan Fenghui felt relieved too. “Their luck was meeting you. If Pei Yiyi’s assistant had not called you, who knows what would happen now.”
Wen Ying was no ordinary bestselling writer.
She had a strong network around her.
Wen Ying knew this but never mobilised it for her own affairs. This was Pei Yiyi and Shui Mingyue’s luck, and why Yuan Fenghui, often annoyed wanting to spank little fox Wen, willingly ran errands at one call from Wen Ying!
Having seen too much darkness, Yuan Fenghui wanted to protect Wen Ying’s chivalrous heart.
Little Brother Ma focused on driving. Over the two-plus-hour drive, no one spoke more. Nearing the destination, Yuan Fenghui reminded Wen Ying, “You are their rescuing hero, but have you thought how far to take this? Pei Yiyi has a management company.”
What if the company wanted Pei Yiyi to compromise, promising benefits, and she settled?
Yuan Fenghui had seen such cases.
Outsiders fought injustice for victims, running around, only for victims to reconcile, leaving helpers in awkward positions.
Yuan Fenghui had no close contact with Pei Yiyi, unsure of her character, vaccinating Wen Ying in advance.
Wen Ying was very open-minded. “Of course, it depends on Pei Yiyi’s own attitude, how far she wants my help. I can save her once, not a second or third. She chooses her life. If Pei Yiyi listens to the company and drops it, I focus only on Shui Mingyue.”
Would Pei Yiyi compromise for her career?
Wen Ying was unsure.
She knew Shui Mingyue better, certain she would never compromise.
Shui Mingyue was not even in this circle. If not for responsibility to her work, after selling adaptation rights, she would avoid excessive contact with entertainment people!
“As long as you know. Let’s go. Get off.”
Gong Sheng said Pei Yiyi and Shui Mingyue were taken to the nearby police station.
When Pei Yiyi was in danger, the manager’s phone was off. Now, appearing from nowhere, talking to Pei Yiyi.
Pei Yiyi rejected the manager, refusing communication.
Gong Sheng explained to police. The manager was politely asked out, fuming and cursing, “Would the company harm you? Without me fighting for you, how could you get the female lead!”
Pei Yiyi stared blankly, silent.
Shui Mingyue wrapped in a blanket, huddled tightly, cheeks unnaturally flushed, whole body shaking.
Shui Mingyue had never encountered such a thing.
At first, she was truly terrified.
But when police rescued them, still scared herself, she kept comforting Pei Yiyi.
The manager seemed off.
Shui Mingyue held Pei Yiyi’s hand, whispering, “You cannot listen to him.”
Pei Yiyi nodded lightly.
The two young girls nearly hugged and sobbed. Seeing Wen Ying, long-held tears streamed out.
“Little Fish!”
“Teacher Little Fish…”
Wen Ying comforted them, but her gaze turned outside. “Why is Luo Hao here too?”
