Chapter 14 Unexpected Stage Accident
"..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Hearing Lu Jinye coughing incessantly, and seeing his slightly closed eyes and pale face, she noticed something.
Okay, it's just buying medicine, isn't it?
She's currently his bodyguard, and she's taking his money; she can't just stand by and watch him die here!
Medicine and milk are available for purchase right outside the door.
In no time, Wen Ni had already bought the items and returned, while Lu Jinye had already gone on stage, with several staff members surrounding him and hoisting him onto the wires.
"They're really dedicated; they're working themselves to the bone!"
Wen Ni, holding a glass of hot milk, scoffed coldly!
The wire work tests the strength of the waist and abdomen the most, and he might strain his wound again if he does it like this!
"Are you Lu Jinye's bodyguard, just like Qin Yuan?" A crisp voice suddenly rang out beside me.
The person who came was Tang Zi, who had just finished rehearsing.
She wore a pink coat draped over her shoulders, crossed her arms, and looked at Wen Ni with an arrogant gaze, making no attempt to hide her scrutiny.
"What connections do you have? Which bodyguard company are you with? How did you manage to stay by Lu Jinye's side as a bodyguard? You know, since he entered the industry, no woman has ever appeared by his side before. You're the first!"
"You mean he's not sexually active?" Wen Ni's comprehension was exceptional; she got it right in one go.
"?"
Tang Zi's haughty expression cracked slightly.
“Otherwise, how could a high-quality 28-year-old adult male not have any women around him?” Wen Ni analyzed seriously. “Have you not thought carefully about the fundamental reason why he has never had a scandal in his ten years in the industry?”
"W-what..."
Tang Zi's world collapsed.
"You're his bodyguard, so why would you say that? Do you know something?"
"Sister, if you agree to exchange all the information about Lu Jinye with me, including but not limited to where he went, who he met, what he likes to eat and play, and what he likes to do! Tell me everything, and I can give you this amount!" Tang Zi held up five fingers, thinking she was being very generous. "Fifty thousand yuan, deal or not!?"
Wen Ni smiled slightly, then suddenly stopped, slapping her hand away and coldly saying, "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"
"How much do you want? Here's what we'll do: I'll give you whatever Lu Jinye paid you for!" Tang Zi gritted her teeth, as if she was planning to bleed a lot.
"Miss Tang, do you know how much Lu Jinye paid me?"
"You? You shouldn't be worth much, right? Seventy or eighty thousand?" Tang Zi looked at her suspiciously, then pursed her lips. "Market price, that's the most I can offer!"
To say she's worthless?
"Five hundred thousand."
Wen Ni added casually, "Five hundred thousand a month."
"What!?"
Tang Zi thought she had misheard. Her overly surprised voice attracted the attention of those around her, so she quickly composed herself and lowered her voice, "I said, are you a professional scammer?"
"..."
"So, is Miss Tang still going to exchange information with me?"
"I can't afford to exchange it, it's too expensive."
"In that case, I will also abide by professional ethics and will not reveal any private information about Lu Jinye to you."
Wen Ni tilted her head and gave a wicked smile. "Let me also give Miss Tang a piece of advice: those who like you will like you no matter what, and those who don't like you won't even notice you if you become a goddess. Also, your winking and making faces when you sing is really ugly~"
"You, you, you, you!"
Tang Zi was furious. Pointing at Wen Ni's nose, her face flushed red, "Who squeezed you? And what's ugly about me! You're the ugly one, so ugly you have to wear a mask to avoid seeing others! Humph!"
"Whether I'm ugly or not is none of anyone else's business. I know myself. Unlike some people who lack self-confidence," Wen Ni said calmly, though her words were incredibly infuriating!
Tang Zi wanted to continue the verbal battle, but suddenly heard someone gasp!
"My God! Master Lu!"
In the huge studio, a scream came from assistant Xiao Wu! At the same time, all the staff immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to the stage!
Wen Ni also suddenly turned around.
On the stage, under the spotlight, Lu Jinye, suspended by wires, was hanging to one side, swaying precariously in mid-air!
His head tilted back slightly, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead glistened.
"Who put the harness on him?! Why aren't the safety buckles locked on either side?!"
"Beep—"
A loud popping sound came from the horn!
Everyone turned around, only to see that the microphone in the director's hand had been snatched away by a tall, masked girl!
"Now is not the time to assign blame. Put him down safely first!" Wen Ni's gaze was fixed on Lu Jinye, who was suspended in mid-air. Her voice was cold and extremely serious!
"Yes, yes, yes! Quickly put Brother Lu down!" Tang Zi was so anxious she was about to cry.
"Slow down! Slow down, even slower! It's going to slip over there!" The staff member was anxious and scared, sweating profusely, and frantically giving instructions.
Tang Zi and her assistant Xiao Wu rushed onto the stage immediately. They reached out to support Lu Jinye's back and waist to prevent him from continuing to bear the weight.
Wen Ni, who was beside the director, has disappeared without a trace.
She had already dashed off behind the stage, heading straight for a furtive figure!
The person was tiptoeing towards the studio door.
He thought no one had noticed him and was secretly pleased. He grabbed the handle and was about to open the door when a long, slender leg flew out of nowhere, crossed his waist, and landed firmly on the door in black high heels!
Even the collar of his shirt was being gripped tightly by slender fingers!
"Who are you? What do you want?" he asked, slightly flustered.
"You're the one who put the wires on Lu Jinye." Wen Ni's voice was cold and detached, not a question but a statement!
"No, it wasn't me! Don't frame me!"
The man grinned, baring his teeth and gesturing wildly, his eyes darting around.
The production assistants and several others noticed the commotion and came over. They stared at the man for a while, all with slightly puzzled expressions.
"This person isn't part of our wire stunt team! What does he do? Which department is he from?"
"I don't know him, I don't know him."
The heads of various departments were also called over, and after a careful look, they all said that the faces were unfamiliar and they had never seen them before!
"If they're not staff, then they must be bad guys?" Wen Ni narrowed her eyes.
"I went to the wrong door, the wrong door..."
The man chuckled and pretended to explain, but suddenly his eyes sharpened, and he reached into his robes, drawing a knife and pressing it against Wen Ni's wrist!
"Be careful! Don't hurt her!"
"Don't get agitated! Put the knife down!"
The incident happened so suddenly that it was too late for everyone to stop it!
They could only watch helplessly as danger approached Wen Ni!
This is it, we're doomed, either dead or seriously injured!
The same thought popped into everyone's mind.
Although this girl was called a bodyguard, everyone knew that it was all just a fancy facade; she had no chance of dodging such a sharp blade aimed straight at her vital points!
However, to everyone's surprise...
