Pei Zhi kicked the wall behind her, using the momentum to swing her body towards the corridor.

Hu Shi screamed, and the rope snapped. Pei Zhi grabbed the railing.

Not only was Hu Shi screaming, but the staff below also gasped in surprise.

After screaming for a moment, Hu Shih realized that nothing seemed wrong and then opened his eyes.

Hu Shi was on Pei Zhi's back, while Pei Zhi's hands gripped the railing tightly.

"Do you want me to carry you in, or do you want to climb in yourself first?"

Hu Shi was a man, after all. How could he let Pei Zhi carry him into the corridor?

With so many people watching, does he have no regard for his reputation or dignity?

Hu Shi supported Pei Zhi's back, but quickly gave up, saying, "Forget it, you carry me in, my legs are weak."

Hu Shi was still recovering from the shock and couldn't muster any strength.

At this moment, Chi Xiuwen ran up from downstairs. "Hu Shi, reach out your hand, I'll pull you up first."

Chi Xiuwen pulled Hu Shi off Pei Zhi's back, and Pei Zhi nimbly climbed over herself.

Hu Shi slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

Pei Zhi patted the dust off her clothes and hands.

Chi Xiuwen's anxious eyes scanned Pei Zhi back and forth. "Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital to get her checked out?"

"I'm fine."

Chi Xiuwen grabbed Pei Zhi's hand, "Your hand is bleeding and you're still okay?"

Pei Zhi's elbow and palm were probably scraped, and the skin was broken, with blood oozing out.

Pei Zhi's skin was fair, and the slight bloodstains from the smudges made it look rather eerie.

The staff also rushed over, so filming for today was definitely not going to happen.

With a wave of his hand, the director instructed Hu Shi and Pei Zhi to go to the hospital for a check-up.

By the way, the production team should also investigate carefully what's going on with the props department.

Li Hong stayed by Pei Zhi's side, saying, "Teacher Chi, you shouldn't go. If you get photographed, it will be difficult to explain."

Chi Xiuwen glanced at him, then pulled Hu Shi, who was standing not far away, over. "I'll go with him."

Hu Shi was immediately flattered, if not for the fact that Chi Xiuwen hadn't given him a single glance from beginning to end.

Hu Shih really believed that Chi Xiuwen was worried about him.

Li Hong sighed, not saying much. Anyway, if they were in the same car going to the hospital and were photographed, it would be understandable.

Go to the hospital, get a prescription, and have tests done.

Pei Zhi was fine, just a simple scrape, but she was still admitted to the hospital.

Pei Zhi applied some medicine to her hand, but didn't bandage it.

"Isn't this a bit excessive? Does it really require hospitalization for this?"

Li Hong put the receipt aside, saying, "This was obviously done by someone. It'll be easier to settle the score once I'm hospitalized."

Hu Shih lay on the hospital bed next to him, eating fruit. "I want to see who dares to harm me."

After Pei Zhi and Hu Shi finished their examinations, they went straight back to the hotel.

If no serious consequences occur, people won't investigate so thoroughly.

Now that both of them are hospitalized, the props team, fearing liability, naturally investigated everything thoroughly.

"Regarding this incident, the director has given instructions that no one will post it online, for fear of causing a negative impact."

Hu Shih was somewhat displeased, "So we're just unlucky?"

"Your agency has already agreed."

Hu Shi pursed his lips, realizing that the director must have reached an agreement with the agent, so he said no more.

Pei Zhi didn't have any objections. Bringing this up online wouldn't do any good; it would only give netizens something to gossip about.

Li Hong's phone rang, and she went outside to answer it.

Chi Xiuwen placed the washed fruit in front of Pei Zhi, "Would you like something else to eat or drink?"

Pei Zhi declined, "No need."

Hu Shih leaned against the hospital bed, looking at Chi Xiuwen and Pei Zhi with a mocking gaze.

If he still can't see that there's something fishy going on between these two, then he's blind.

When did you two get together?

Pei Zhi feigned ignorance, "What do you mean, 'together'?"

Hu Shi pointed to Chi Xiuwen and said, “I have worked with Professor Chi before, and he has never been so considerate to his female colleagues.”

Just now on set, Chi Xiuwen's concern for Pei Zhi completely exceeded that of male and female colleagues, right?

They even accompanied me to the hospital, stayed with me during doctor's visits, washed fruit, and served me tea and water.

Hu Shih was quite perceptive: "Don't worry, I keep my mouth shut and won't go around saying anything."

Chi Xiuwen moved his lips as if to say something, but Li Hong walked in from outside, her face looking rather unpleasant.

Pei Zhi asked, "Any results?"

Li Hong nodded, but didn't say anything.

Hu Shi, holding his phone, said, "I'm going to the restroom."

After Hu Shih left, Chi Xiuwen also said he was going out to make a phone call.

Only Li Hong and Pei Zhi remained in the ward.

Li Hong said, "There are no surveillance cameras in the warehouse, so we can only find out how many people entered the warehouse."

"Besides the props team staff, there was only Fan Yunshu's assistant."

Pei Zhi wasn't surprised at all; it was always the same few people coming and going.

Either he'll harm Hu Shi, or he'll harm her.

"Fan Yunshu's assistant insists that she didn't do it, there's no evidence, and there's nothing we can do about it now."

They were all old foxes, and everyone believed that Fan Yunshu had his assistant do it.

However, due to the lack of evidence, a conviction cannot be made.

"Fan Yunshu said she would fire her assistant, and the company also hopes to settle things peacefully."

Fan Yunshu and Pei Zhi are both artists under Wanhe Entertainment. If this dispute escalates, it will have a significant impact on the company.

"Fan Yunshu is the top female star in the company, so..."

Li Hong didn't say anything more after that.

It's not easy for a company to cultivate an artist, let alone a top-tier female star like Fan Yunshu.
