Pingcheng First Hospital.

Yan Jiudu has been in a coma in the hospital for twenty days. Although his external wounds have scabbed over, he is like a vegetable, showing no signs of waking up.

But he is still alive.

Besides Yan Jiudu lying in the ward, there was another middle-aged man wearing a hat. He was Yan Jiudu's boss, and everyone called him Third Master Hua.

The servant knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Third Master Hua, news came from Mudfish that... they saw the group of people from the underground palace at the post station."

Third Master Hua glanced at Yan Jiudu on the bed, "Go and take a look."

Meng Ziqiu has been living a very comfortable life lately. Business at his shop has been getting better and better since the beginning of spring, and Xu Qian's work at the film and television city is also going very smoothly. Just then, he received a WeChat message from Fifth Master, saying that someone was looking for them, or more precisely, looking for Xu Xiaomao.

Xu Xiaomao...

When Meng Ziqiu first saw the name, he was a little confused. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was one of his elder brother's disguises.

Fifth Master:

Be careful, the other party seems to have ulterior motives.

Meng Ziqiu put away his phone with a serious expression, then turned to Xu Qian, who was filming, and thought for a moment before deciding to wait until he finished filming. He then replied to Fifth Master.

Meng Ziqiu:

Thanks for the reminder, Fifth Master. By the way, about that matter from before... is there any news about it?

Fifth Master:

Not yet. I've asked twice already, and they said they'd let me know when they had the chance.

Meng Ziqiu:

Okay, thank you very much, Fifth Master!

After a while, Xu Qian finished filming his scenes and was pulled down to sit by Meng Ziqiu as soon as he walked over.

"Brother, there's something I need to tell you."

"?"

"Fifth Master said that someone is looking for the team that went into the desert before, and specifically mentioned you."

Xu Qian looked around and pulled Meng Ziqiu to a more secluded place. "Let's talk over there."

Seeing that no one was around, Meng Ziqiu showed him his previous conversation with Fifth Master and explained, "Although Fifth Master stopped a few acquaintances, they should be able to find out about us soon."

"Who is this person, and what's their reason?" Xu Qian asked, looking at him.

"It's not clear yet, but they mentioned whether we had saved people before. We saved... those two foreign research teams, right? So why are they looking for us?" Meng Ziqiu didn't know anything about Yan Jiudu, after all, he had already been knocked unconscious by Xu Qian at that time, and only saw the two research teams later, no... there was another person. "Could it be that they're looking for my brother?"

"Don't worry, if it's about your brother, Xiaoqing is with him, so it shouldn't be a problem." Xu Qian crossed his arms. Actually, there was a fourth person, Yan Jiudu, who had taken his school uniform.

“I know Xiaoqing should be fine with him by her side, but…” Meng Ziqiu was indeed a little flustered; this was the first time he had ever been this worried.

"When soldiers come, we'll deal with them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Have Fifth Master help us investigate the other party's background. Both of you should be careful in the near future."

Meng Ziqiu opened his mouth, said nothing, and nodded in agreement.

Xu Qian patted him on the shoulder, "Relax, don't be so nervous, this time is different." He's here.

“…Hmm.” Meng Ziqiu seemed reassured. Indeed, this time was different.

...

At 5 PM, Master 'Yu Shi' announced the wrap-up of filming.

Before leaving, Editor Wen approached Xu Qian again to ask if he was available. She had a script and thought Xu Qian would be perfect for the role of the third male lead.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, Miss Wen, but my experience is limited, and I'm worried..." Xu Qian dared not accept. He was a very self-aware person, only capable of playing a minor role and slacking off.

The director laughed when he heard their conversation. “Experience comes from acting. Xiao Xu, don’t be too modest. Editor Wen is also from your company. The fact that she thinks highly of you proves that you can handle this role. Besides, your sense of camera presence is no worse than those who have formal training.”

Xu Qian's hesitant look didn't seem like modesty, at least that's what Editor Wen thought. But she wasn't in a hurry, "How about this, it's not decided yet anyway. I'll let you know when it's decided, and you can come for an interview. If you pass, come; if you don't, then forget it."

Xu Qian then agreed, and of course, he expressed his sincere gratitude to Editor Wen, who was such a kind person to offer him a job!

After exchanging WeChat contacts with Editor Wen, Xu Qian and Meng Ziqiu left the film studio. On their way back, Xu Qian received a call from a stranger.

"...Is this Dr. Xu?" A relatively young male voice came from the other end of the phone.
