Chapter 195 Control
The next morning, when Song Ying got up, the bed was empty and the person beside her was gone. When she touched it, even the warmth had dissipated.
A note left by Qin Shu was placed on the bedside table.
"Honey, I'm heading back to the capital first. Don't worry about things in Nancheng. I've left some new people here, so you won't be in any danger. Also, things are going through a lot in Nancheng lately, so try not to leave the film set. I'll come pick you up and take you home when you finish filming."
Song Ying couldn't help but laugh. She folded the square note into a paper crane, put it in her handbag, washed up, changed her clothes, went out, and headed to the film set.
Qin Shu had many things to do, and so did she.
Peng Wen followed Song Ying with several new faces, and she asked about Fu Yuhua and A Hu.
“Miss Fu was safely delivered to the hotel last night; I personally escorted her. As for Ah Hu, the master visited him before he left, and he's doing fine now. His two brothers stayed with him earlier, but he can't move and needs someone by his side. Xiao Lu and Xiao Qiong are girls, so it's not convenient for them. When the master left, he told you not to worry about the hospital and just focus on filming; he'll take care of everything else.”
Song Ying nodded. She had sent Xiao Lu to the hospital yesterday because the rest of them had gotten into a fight and couldn't leave. Now that the matter was resolved, it was indeed inappropriate for Xiao Lu to stay there.
Ah Hu was injured while saving her, and it was only right and proper for her to visit him in person. However, before she could even think about it, Qin Shu had already taken care of everything for her.
This is Qin Shu. He is usually carefree and cynical, but he is extremely thoughtful and considerate in his dealings with others.
Before meeting Qin Shu, Song Ying always felt that love was a stumbling block in life. Having another person in her life would only make her overwhelmed and add to the chaos.
It wasn't until she actually met him that she understood that the right partner to walk hand in hand with is someone to accompany you on your life's journey, someone you can rely on without question.
"Please apologize to Ah Hu for me. I'll visit him as soon as I'm done here. Also, take 500,000 yuan from my account and give it to him. It's not a lot of money, so tell him not to refuse."
Too much, and Ah Hu won't accept it; too little, and I'd be letting down the person who risked their life to save me. Five hundred thousand is just right.
"Don't worry, Madam, I'll take care of it."
Song Ying nodded, drank the soy milk Peng Wen handed her, and then walked to the film set.
After a night's delay, Director Fang was relieved to see that Song Ying had returned safely. After a brief expression of concern, he rallied the entire crew to get back to work.

Fu Yuhua did not sleep well that night.
Unable to sleep peacefully at the police station, she tossed and turned back at the hotel until dawn, when she finally felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, the sun was shining brightly, and the light leaking through the gaps in the curtains was extremely dazzling.
I forgot to charge my phone yesterday, and it automatically shut down sometime during the day. After plugging it in and turning it on, I saw a missed call.
9:30 a.m.
It was Li Zhu who called.
It was already ten o'clock.
Oops!
Fu Yuhua jumped out of bed and hurriedly washed up and changed her clothes. During this time, she made a phone call, but no one answered.
She and Li Zhu made an appointment for 9:30.
The photography exhibition opened at 9:30, which should be a busy time for Li Zhu.
After getting ready, Fu Yuhua called a ride-hailing service, grabbed her bag, and hurried downstairs. When she arrived at the hotel entrance, a black Panamera pulled up and stopped in front of her. The door opened, and Fu Yuhua immediately sat in the back seat to check the last four digits of her phone number.
"Hello, sir. 4532, please hurry, we're a bit pressed for time. Thank you."
"Um."
The driver responded and started the car after Fu Yuhua fastened her seatbelt.
The hotel wasn't far from the exhibition hall, only a ten-minute walk away. There weren't many people on the road at this time, and Fu Yuhua finally felt half relieved.
But she felt a little embarrassed about being so late. She has always been very punctual, and this was the first time this had happened.
Just then, her phone vibrated. Fu Yuhua thought it was Li Zhu and quickly answered it, but she saw an unfamiliar number. She frowned and hung up.
The other party called again. This time, Fu Yuhua saw the "ride-hailing app" icon below the number, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously pressed the answer button. As a result, the quiet car was suddenly filled with a deafeningly loud male voice, with a strong southern accent.
"How much longer are you going to be downstairs? I've been waiting here for almost five minutes, and you're not answering my calls. What are you trying to do?!"
Fu Yuhua: "...??"
"No, Master, I'm already in the car..." He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.
Fu Yuhua saw the man's face in the driver's seat through the rearview mirror inside the car. Even though it was only half of his face, she recognized him immediately.
Fu Yushu...
She got on the wrong bus.
!
Seeing that she suddenly stopped talking, the driver on the other end of the phone got even angrier. Fu Yuhua said "sorry" and hung up the phone. Then she paid compensation and canceled the order on the platform.
It wasn't until then that she realized what was happening.
Who uses a Pamela to drive for Didi Chuxing?
Moreover, it wasn't that she got into the wrong car, but rather that Fu Yushu did it on purpose—at the hotel entrance, he was the one who drove up and opened the car door, so she subconsciously got in, thinking that her car had arrived, and he didn't even object when she gave him the last few digits of her phone number.
"Fu Yushu, is this really interesting?"
Fu Yuhua stared intently at the face in the rearview mirror. "Stop the car, I want to get out!"
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his long, slender fingers and distinct knuckles appearing even whiter against the black steering wheel.
Fu Yushu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "I'll take you."
Fu Yuhua scoffed, "You'll take me? Do you even know where I'm going?"
"Li Family Boys' Photography Exhibition at Hengtian International Convention and Exhibition Center"
"You investigated me?!"
Fu Yuhua immediately became wary, feeling the vigilance of someone watching her, which instantly doubled her dislike for Fu Yushu.
"Your name is on the guest list on the promotional poster. I just happened to see it while passing by."
Fu Yushu wasn't lying. He did see it when he passed by and couldn't resist getting out of the car to watch the opening ceremony of the exhibition. But he didn't see any familiar faces. When he heard Li Zhu say that the guests were delayed by something, what else could he not understand?
In my memory, this young woman would never be able to get up the next day if she stayed up all night. I don't know if she has changed over the years, but he still postponed the morning meeting, dismissed the driver, and waited for her downstairs in his car.
As for what he was waiting for, and whether he could wait for it, Fu Yushu had a faint expectation in his heart, but he dared not expect it. He just stood there blankly until that figure entered his sight.
His hands moved faster than his brain. By the time he realized what was happening, the car had already stopped in front of her. Even when she gave him her phone number, all he could think was, "So, she's this polite to strangers, but she just doesn't like him, so she doesn't give him a friendly look either."
"Fu Yushu, if you don't stop, I'll start right now from here..."
"Don't unbuckle your seatbelt, sit tight, I'm speeding up, we'll be there in three minutes."
As if guessing what Fu Yuhua would do given her temperament, Fu Yushu stepped on the gas after saying this, increasing the car's speed, but driving very steadily without any bumps.
Fu Yuhua paused in her movements.
Years later, he still knows how to control himself, knows he's in a hurry, knows he won't really try to kill himself, so he's so fearless.
She really hated this feeling.
I hate this version of myself even more.
Holding onto the seatbelt, Fu Yuhua took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
