Chapter 43 Awakening



Xu Chansheng's hands were still outstretched, but his voice trembled as he cried out, "Don't touch her, don't touch her, avoid further injury, quick, quick, call 120!"

"Where's the crew's doctor? Come quick!"

"Li Ruan, Li Ruan, can you hear me?"

Li Ruan continued to pretend to be unconscious. After falling from a height of five or six meters, it would be abnormal if she were completely unharmed.

At this moment, Shu Fenghua had been lowered down by the staff. Her voice sounded like it contained shards of ice, "Director, let's call the police. Both steel cables of the soft wire have been deliberately cut. We can't let the murderer get away with it."

The scene was chaotic. After she was lowered down, she went to look at the wire that Li Ruan had been suspended by. The steel cable was not completely cut, but it could be seen that it had been cut with a sharp weapon. This was a premeditated murder!

If you fall from a height of five or six meters and accidentally land headfirst, even a celestial being couldn't save you.

Director Ming looked miserable. What kind of trouble has he gotten himself into? This film, "The Immortal Demon Tribulation," is truly his calamity. The early stages of filming were fraught with difficulties before it could even begin. After filming started, the production company, Star Entertainment, ran into trouble, causing a casting controversy. Just when the production was finally catching up, this mess happened!

But what else could he do? Call the police!

When Li Ruan had her accident, someone from the crew had already called 120 (emergency services). The hospital wasn't far from here, and they had already driven in.

Li Ruan was lifted into an ambulance by medical staff, and Qiangzi went to the hospital with her. Police cars also arrived, and after investigating the scene, relevant personnel were taken away for questioning.

Two cars arrived with their horns blaring. The matter couldn't be kept secret any longer. Qiangzi quickly told Luo Jiaxing what had happened. Luo Jiaxing's expression changed upon hearing it. "How is she?" she asked.

Qiangzi: "They're doing an examination right now. The person is unconscious. The doctor said there's no bone damage, but there might be some concussion. Liu Gang should have recorded the video. You can contact him if you need the video."

Hearing that the person was still unconscious, Luo Jiaxing frowned. But when he heard that Li Ruan was not seriously injured and only suffered a concussion, he felt somewhat relieved. "Keep an eye on things over there. Contact me immediately if anything happens."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Jiaxing immediately contacted Liu Gang, who sent him the video. "Boss, what do you want to do?"

"Of course, we should make a big fuss about it."

The wire was cut off; this is murder!

Although the film crew called the police, they will likely suppress the matter and just go through the motions at the police station. This kind of thing has happened before.

After hanging up the phone, the first thing he did was open the whistleblower group and send out the video: Breaking news, something happened to Xu Chansheng's crew, everyone knows what to do, right?

Of course, the gossipmongers know what to do. Xu Chansheng's status in the entertainment industry is at the very top of the pyramid. He already has over 100 million followers on Weibo, and any topic related to him will trend on social media in no time!

For these influential figures on social media, that's money!

The boss is really amazing! He managed to get such valuable information. He deserves to be rich!

After posting these messages, Luo Jiaxing went to the online troll group: "I have a job! Li Ruan's wire was cut while filming an action scene on set. You all need to flood the comments section and demand that the culprit be severely punished."

The bottom row consists entirely of two words: Received.

Then he opened the Pear Soft fan group, which was full of Pear Soft's real fans. Each person in the group controlled several fan groups. Luo Jiaxing had already used money to improve his status, and he was now a big fan leader.

Ruanruan is the best: Ruanruan, our little fairy, had an accident while filming. Her wires were tampered with, and both wires broke. She fell from a great height and has been sent to the hospital. Everyone, go to the official Weibo account of the production team and demand an explanation for our little fairy!

What?! Someone actually tried to harm our Ruan Ruan?! I curse that person and their ancestors for eight generations!

Ruanruan is the best: Everyone, please be careful with your words. Just say what you mean and don't attack the crew. Our Ruanruan still has to go back to the set to film, so we can't offend anyone!

The rest of the text reads: Received.

Less than an hour after the incident, four topics trended on social media: #LiRuanInjuredAndUnconsciousOnFilmSet#, #XuYingdi'sFilmSetCalledThePoliceToThePolice#, #WasLiRuan'sFallOnFilmSetAnAccidentOrDeliberate?#, and #WireSevered,WhoIsTheCulprit?#.

The official Weibo account of the "Immortal Demon Tribulation" production team is flooded with questions about Li Ruan's situation.

The fans were very rational. As long as the production team gave a response, they asked questions like: How is the person? How badly are they injured? Have the people who caused this been caught?

It can be said that these fans are quite well-mannered. The general public has a very good impression of Pear Soft fans. After all, they have been disgusted by those crazy fans over the years. It is rare to encounter such rational fans. They can be regarded as a breath of fresh air in the fan circle.

With such rational fans, the idol can't be too bad either.

As a result, Pear Soft gained another wave of fans.

...

By this time, Li Ruan's phone had run out of battery and shut down automatically. Fortunately, after completing all the examinations, she finally woke up. She pretended to be nauseous and vomiting so that the doctor could confirm the diagnosis: soft tissue contusion and concussion. The doctors exclaimed in surprise that she only suffered a concussion after falling from such a height. It was truly a blessing!

Qiangzi bought a charger, and Li Ruan plugged in her phone. The phone turned on, and then it kept ringing. Only after the phone stopped did she pick it up and take a look.

The message included phone calls from home and contacts from two film crews with whom she had good relationships. She then posted on Weibo: "Thank you to all my friends and fans for your concern. I am now fine and only need to rest for a few days before I can be discharged from the hospital."

After posting on Weibo, I finally dialed my home phone.

The call was answered quickly, but the woman on the other end spoke in a low voice, "Hello, Ruan Ruan."

"Mom, why are you speaking so softly?"

The woman's voice on the other end was sarcastic, "Isn't it because you said we were vulgar before and told us not to contact you, so we wouldn't embarrass you? If I hadn't seen online that you were in trouble, I wouldn't have called you!"

Li Ruan gritted her teeth. It was all that fake product's fault that had broken her mother's heart.

She now desperately wants to tear that counterfeit out of the house eighteen times over. That's why she didn't dare contact her family first. The counterfeit broke the hearts of her family of three. They had sacrificed so much for her, but the counterfeit didn't care about them at all. Anyone would feel resentful in that situation.

"Mom, I was wrong. Please forgive me. Don't be angry with me. You can call me whenever you want. I wish you would talk to me every day."

On the other end of the phone, Ma Hongmei, who had just changed her clothes and was about to catch a bus or plane, stopped what she was doing. Her daughter was different today, as if she had become a different person again, the same one she used to be.

Perhaps this is just my imagination?
