Chapter 188 Zhao Zhao Injured While Saving People

The subsequent filming process was very difficult for Lu Yinzhao.

Cheng Heyan is an unstable factor.

One minute I'm thirsty, the next I'm hungry, then I feel like my clothes don't fit, and then I need to fix my hairstyle.

In short, he has all sorts of reasons to interrupt Lu Yinzhao's filming schedule.

However, it was precisely because of Cheng Heyan's reckless actions that the workload of six sets was reduced to three sets, which was how the work was barely completed before dark.

"Alright, we can call it a day now."

At this moment, Lu Yinzhao felt liberated, both physically and mentally, and let out a long breath.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the clear sky, which had been cloudless just moments before, suddenly changed as if a dark curtain had been ripped across it, the change happening without warning.

A sudden gust of wind swept in from the sea, howling past with a salty, menacing aura.

Lu Yinzhao had already sensed that the wind on the island was strange today, and now that the situation had suddenly changed, how could he not guess what the weather would be like next?

Cheng Heyan's assistant assured him that morning that there would be absolutely no problem with the weather.

Fortunately, their workload was reduced at the last minute; otherwise, they would not only be unable to complete the filming, but the strong winds would also make it difficult for them to walk.

Another strong gust of wind swept in, carrying with it pebbles and broken branches from the open space, which slammed into the canvas of their makeshift photography studio.

Clang—Clang—!

A dull thud resounded.

Amidst the howling wind, Lu Yinzhao heard Cheng Heyan's curses.

"Damn it! What kind of awful weather is this?! Xiao Fang! Hurry up and get everyone packing! Hey! My sunglasses got blown off!"

"Okay! Brother Cheng! I'll be right there!"

Lu Yinzhao held his camera tightly, not wanting it to be damaged in the slightest.

This contains all the achievements he has made today.

The metal frame of the shed trembled violently in the gale, the screws at the joints were loosened, and the whole shed looked like a withered branch swaying in the wind, as if it might fall apart at any moment.

Lu Yinzhao was also walking towards a sheltered spot. There was a five-meter-deep depression on the slope ahead. Standing there should temporarily block the erratic gale.

They had barely taken two steps when large raindrops began to fall without any cushioning, instantly turning into a torrential downpour.

The staff inside the tent were noisily packing up their things, accompanied by the young master's crazy shouts, and for a moment, the scene was in complete chaos.

At this moment, the rain, like dense silver arrows, poured down from the sky, splashing huge sprays of water as it hit the ground.

Lu Yinzhao's vision was instantly obscured by the white curtain of rain.

He pulled up his hoodie and ran forward against the wind and rain.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the shed, the supplementary lighting equipment, which was already secured by loose supports, was completely disrupted by the continuous pulling of the strong winds and the impact of the torrential rain.

Despite the poor visibility, Lu Yinzhao, being close by, still managed to spot the scene.

The device tilted slightly at first, then suddenly broke free from its anchor point and slid down with a sharp scraping sound, heading straight for the panicked crowd.

The assistant named Xiao Fang was currently facing away from it, squatting in place and quickly packing props.

"careful!!"

The moment he caught sight of the equipment slipping, Lu Yinzhao rushed towards Xiao Fang without hesitation.

He pushed Xiao Fang aside with all his might, and Xiao Fang stumbled and fell into the mud, barely avoiding the falling equipment.

Bang!

The equipment crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

However, due to the excessive force of the impact and the slippery ground, Lu Yinzhao's ankle twisted violently to one side, causing a sharp, piercing pain.

He staggered and lost his balance, falling to one knee.

Xiao Fang got up from the ground and turned his head to see the large pieces of debris scattered all around him, and...

Lu Yinzhao's bleeding arm.

"Teacher Lu! You...you're injured! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I..."

Lu Yinzhao was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Just now, the equipment grazed his left arm and hit the ground as it fell.

The sharp metal edge grazed my skin, and a burning pain instantly spread.

Blood trickled down his elbow, quickly staining his wet cuffs red.

Lu Yinzhao was wearing a light blue outfit today, and his left arm was now stained red with blood.

Some of the blood dripped into the murky pool water, spreading out dark red stains.

"What's going on over there? Why is there a bunch of people gathered around?" Cheng Heyan, who was already in the sheltered area, squinted and looked into the distance, asking involuntarily.

"Brother Cheng, it was Teacher Lu... he shielded Xiao Fang from the falling equipment and got injured. He's covered in blood now!"

"Huh??" Cheng Heyan exclaimed in surprise, "You guys, hurry up and help! Carry him over here, don't panic! Don't panic! My personal doctor is here!"

"..." Young master, the person hasn't died yet, why does this sound so strange?

On Lu Yinzhao's side, the staff quickly helped her up.

"Teacher Lu, can you still walk?"

Lu Yinzhao tried it, and only his left foot was okay; he could barely jump twice.

Xiao Fang angrily said, "At a time like this, you're still asking Teacher Lu if she can walk? Can't you see she's bleeding? Teacher Lu, lie on me, I'll carry you."

"No need, I can still..."

Before Lu Yinzhao could finish speaking, Xiao Fang squatted down, pulled him onto her back, and rushed out like an angry little engine.

Before Lu Yinzhao could react, he was taken to a safe place.

Cheng Heyan's private doctor had already opened the first-aid kit.

"Um, I'm sorry, you got injured while saving my assistant. Don't worry, I'll cover all your medical expenses, post-operative care costs, and compensation for emotional distress."

While Lu Yinzhao's wounds were being bandaged by the doctor, Cheng Heyan kept nagging beside her.

Lu Yinzhao's wound was already in pain, and the constant shouting made it hurt even more.

He asked weakly, "So when can we leave the island?"

"The wind is too strong. My helicopter can't fly, and the ships can't go out to sea. We can't get over there, and we can't go back. We can only wait for the wind to calm down before we make any further plans."

Lu Yinzhao: "..."

He was certain that Cheng Heyan was his unlucky person, and he would stay far away from him from now on!

Lu Yinzhao had never had such an unlucky job before; she encountered it all at once today.

"Teacher Lu, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I was busy picking things up and didn't notice what was behind me... Also, thank you, Teacher Lu." Xiao Fang was squatting next to Lu Yinzhao, her eyes full of guilt, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Lu Yinzhao comforted him, "It was an accident, you don't need to apologize. The situation was urgent at the time. If I hadn't reacted, that thing would have hit your head."

Xiao Fang might die on the spot.

Lu Yinzhao certainly didn't want her trip to film to result in someone's death; that would be too terrifying.

Lu Yinzhao looked down at the camera in his arms. The outer casing was slightly scratched, but fortunately it wasn't broken. The photos inside were still intact, otherwise today would have been even more unlucky.

"How are you feeling now?" Cheng Heyan's private doctor asked.

"It's much better than before. Thank you for applying the medicine and bandaging me." Lu Yinzhao forced a smile.

Actually, the injury was still throbbing with pain. He was feeling weak all over, his feet were swollen, and he was soaked to the bone.

Lu Yinzhao thought that he must look very disheveled at this moment.

He had just looked down at his phone to send a message to Bian Ji, only to find that there was no signal at all, and the message he sent was just spinning in circles.

However, Bian Ji is probably still busy right now, so it's best not to disturb him.

I'll tell him when we get to the hospital.

He had promised Bian Ji that he would respond to her immediately if anything happened to him, otherwise Bian Ji would definitely get angry.

“Your cut is quite large. You’ll need to get it treated again at the hospital. Right now, I only have limited resources to stop the bleeding for now,” the private doctor said.

"Mm." Lu Yinzhao nodded and didn't say anything more.

Cheng Heyan, who was standing next to him, was still cursing and swearing, complaining that his manager hadn't made proper arrangements.

They scolded the other party for not arranging his RV in advance, otherwise they wouldn't have had to crammed together here to take shelter from the rain.

The recessed area is only so big, and it feels a bit cramped when a bunch of people are squeezed in, but it's also strangely warm.

The staff thoughtfully set up a windproof tarpaulin outside, so Lu Yinzhao no longer felt any wind or rain.

"Go back and dock his pay! If he can't do the job well, he shouldn't be doing it at all. He can't even handle this little thing!"

Lu Yinzhao listened silently, thinking to himself that being Cheng Heyan's manager was really unlucky.

This young master is really full of energy. He can still talk so much at a time like this. Doesn't he want to save his energy?

Sigh, they still don't know when they'll be able to leave the island...

Lu Yinzhao leaned against the cold rock wall and dozed off for a while. Xiao Fang, who was next to him, thoughtfully covered him with a clean blanket.

Cheng Heyan's lips twitched violently. This was his favorite wool blanket, and Xiao Fang had taken it out without his permission.

This kid is really... He looks more like Lu Yinzhao's personal assistant now.

Well, the injured party should be respected. After all, he saved Xiao Fang's life. Cheng Heyan isn't the kind of person to hold a grudge. He really should thank Lu Yinzhao this time.

He remembered his agent telling him that Lu Yinzhao was a member of the Lu family, his father was Lu Wenyan, his mother was Yin Song, and his older brother was the movie star Lu Xun...

Cheng Heyan stroked his chin, thinking that he should ask his father to invest more in Lu Yinzhao's older brother and sister's movies in the future, as a way of repaying the favor.

...

One hour later.

Suddenly, the faint sound of a motor came from afar, breaking through the wind and rain and disappearing into the mountain hollow.

Lu Yinzhao woke up at this moment, rubbed his eyes, and looked out at the sea.

"Did you arrange the ship?" Lu Yinzhao asked Cheng Heyan.

"No! The people I arranged said they can't go out to sea right now!" Cheng Heyan was also full of doubt.

He wondered if his agent knew he had made a mistake and was therefore risking danger to arrange a boat to pick him up in order to make amends.

That's possible!

Cheng Heyan quickly said, "Xiao Fang, carry him on your back, let's go take a look."

"Okay! Brother Cheng!" Xiao Fang squatted down in front of Lu Yinzhao again. "Teacher Lu, come on up quickly, Brother Cheng is about to run far away."

Lu Yinzhao: "..." Does Cheng Heyan usually treat you like a mule?

After the group arrived, they discovered that what was coming from the sea was a small pilot boat.

These types of ships have excellent seakeeping capabilities, giving them a significant advantage when sailing in stormy conditions.

Several bodyguards in black disembarked from the ship and rushed towards them.

Cheng Heyan waved and greeted them, "Hey! You are..."

The bodyguard in black didn't even look at him and walked right past him.

Cheng Heyan's smile froze on his face, and even the gesture of raising his hand froze in mid-air.

Cheng Heyan frowned and turned his head, about to lash out, when he saw the black-clad bodyguards run up to Lu Yinzhao.

Lu Yinzhao recognized Lao Lin at a glance.

"Uncle Lin?"

"Young Master Lu, you've suffered. We'll take you away right away and send you to the hospital." Old Lin's expression turned serious as he looked at the blood-soaked gauze on Lu Yinzhao's arm.

"Was it... that Bian Ji sent you?" Lu Yinzhao had a guess in his mind.

But how could Bian Ji know that he was trapped on the island?

Although he mentioned this morning that he was going to this island to film on location today, how did the other party confirm that he was injured?

"That's right, Young Master Bian originally wanted to come too, but President Bian stopped him."

Lu Yinzhao's head was spinning. By the time he realized that "President Bian" was Bian Nan, he had already been escorted onto the ship.

He remembered that these bodyguards were assigned to Bian Ji by Brother Nan.

Cheng Heyan naturally overheard their conversation.

Young Master Bian? General Manager Bian?

Palpitation?

Is it Bian Ji, the singer who's really popular right now?

"Hey! Hey! Wait, wait! Perfect timing, I'll go with you guys, I don't want to stay in this awful place for another second."

"Excuse me, please wait a moment." The bodyguard stepped aside to block Cheng Heyan, his tone firm and unyielding.

"What! You dare to stop me? Do you know who I am?" Cheng Heyan's princely madness kicked in and he became unrestrained in his speech. He glared arrogantly at the Bian family's bodyguards.

"Our boss instructed that the boat was specially prepared for Young Master Lu, and there is only enough space for him and those of us who are escorting him; there is no room for you."

"Bullshit! With me on the ship, how could it sink?" Cheng Heyan cursed angrily.

"Sorry, we have to go now. You and your team should wait for the weather to clear up before leaving," the bodyguard said coldly.

Cheng Heyan's face was full of anger: "If I wait for them to come, it'll be too late! They'll probably be slacking off somewhere!"

"Your team can wait, but our young master Lu's injury cannot." After saying this, the bodyguard jumped onto the boat.

The engine suddenly started, making a roaring sound.

"You!" Cheng Heyan clenched his fists tightly as he watched the pilot boat sail away into the distance. "Bian Ji, right? The Bian family's bodyguards, right? I'll remember you!"

Xiao Fang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Finally, I've gotten my savior onto the boat."

This way, Teacher Lu can go to the hospital for treatment earlier, and hopefully, it won't leave any lasting health problems.

"Brother Cheng, let's go back to the cave to take shelter from the rain," Xiao Fang said innocently.

Cheng Heyan: "..."

In the valley, only their group remained. Cheng Heyan kicked a stone next to him.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and suddenly exploded again, "No way! Why? What kind of crappy boat is this! It can't even fit everyone? What's wrong with carrying one more person? It's not like I'm not paying! They're clearly targeting me on purpose!"

...

On the ship.

Lu Yinzhao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there really no room left on this boat?"

Old Lin laughed and said, "Of course not. This boat can easily fit five or six more people. It was Young Master Bian who gave the order that we were only allowed to take you. He anticipated that some people would try to hitch a ride on our boat, so he made sure to stop them."

Lu Yinzhao: "..."

Bian Ji shouldn't be such a petty person, right?

There must be a reason for it.

Lu Yinzhao stopped thinking about these things and took out his phone to look at it. He finally realized why Bian Ji knew that he was injured here.

Lu Yinzhao discovered that the message he had been unable to send before had been successfully sent at some point.

It's probably because the network signal is unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and his message just happened to be sent at the right time.

He recounted what had happened to Bian Ji via WeChat.

Lu Yinzhao felt a warm glow in his heart and an overwhelming sense of security as he was surprised that Bian Ji had sent a boat and people to pick him up so quickly.

The boat quickly sailed ashore, by which time the wind and rain had subsided somewhat.

Through the ship's window, Lu Yinzhao saw a familiar figure on the dock in the distance.

He was still wearing his performance costume, clearly having come directly from the rehearsal venue.

The moment Lu Yinzhao was helped down, Bian Ji immediately stepped forward and picked her up in his arms, while the bodyguard next to him held an umbrella for her.

"elder brother."

The man's face was full of worry: "Zhaozhao, I'm sorry I'm late. Your wound hurts a lot, doesn't it?"

Lu Yinzhao shook his head. "You came just in time."

"You're here... and the pain will go away."
