The child refused to let go, leaving Bai Qianmo with no choice but to go to the police station with the police. Chen Xiang and Jiang Hai also went along.
After arriving at the police station, the police questioned the victims in detail about the situation, including what the robbers had said, and took their statements.
Seeing that it was getting late and the baby in her arms was still fast asleep, Bai Qianmo said to Jiang Hai, who was standing beside her, "Director Jiang, let Chen Xiang take you to the hospital for a check-up first. Things here might not be finished in a short time. Let's talk about the script at the company tomorrow morning."
Jiang Hai shook his head: "No need to go to the hospital. I'm tough and know my own body."
Chen Xiang advised, "You should still go and take a look. If the script is agreed upon, my boss wants to start filming as soon as possible. If something happens to your health, it will greatly affect the schedule."
“There’s a very famous doctor downstairs from my house. I’ll stop by his clinic on my way home later.”
After saying that, Jiang Hai looked at Bai Qianmo with some confusion: "Actually, I don't understand why you asked me to film this drama? You should know my current situation, right?"
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow: "Offended a big shot in the industry and is now blacklisted?"
Jiang Hai chuckled self-deprecatingly: "I'm like a plague god now. People in the industry want to stay as far away from me as possible. To tell you the truth, if you hire me to direct this show, it's very likely that your show won't sell in post-production."
"I'm not worried, so why are you?"
Jiang Hai was stunned and looked at Bai Qianmo in astonishment: "You're throwing money into making a movie. If it doesn't sell, you'll lose a lot of money. Young lady, you're still young. Confidence is a good thing, but being too confident is just arrogance. Maybe you don't lack money, but knowing it's a losing proposition, why get involved in this mess?"
Hearing Jiang Hai say these words shows that he is a person with a conscience.
Many people cannot rely on hearsay; they need to observe carefully. Today, she happened to encounter that group of robbers, which also allowed her to see Jiang Hai's chivalrous heart.
She also watched "The Reef" when she had some free time. He is a genius director, but he just lacks an opportunity.
He happens to be lacking an excellent director right now, so giving Jiang Hai a chance is also giving himself a chance.
Bai Qianmo gave a dismissive twitch of her lips, her calm eyes like a bottomless ocean, making it impossible to guess what was on her mind.
"I was prepared to spend money to hire you to film this drama. You just need to focus on ensuring the quality. Whether it can be sold or not is not your concern."
"You'd still film it even if it meant losing money?"
Bai Qianmo glanced at Jiang Hai indifferently: "I won't pay."
Jiang Hai chuckled helplessly, "You're such a young man. Don't come looking for me to settle accounts after you lose money."
Bai Qianmo sneered, "Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, since I dared to film it, I'll cover the losses."
Jiang Hai took a deep breath and met Bai Qianmo's firm and confident gaze, momentarily at a loss for words.
Although I felt that what the young girl said was like a fantasy, and more like a rich kid messing around in this circle out of curiosity, deep down I was still willing to believe her.
Perhaps it was the script of "Seven" that attracted him so much, or perhaps it was his admiration for the girl's inexplicable confidence.
"Okay, see you at Tengyue tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."

evening
Not long after Jiang Hai left, news finally came from the police station.
It is said that someone from Chaohe District reported to the police that their child ran away from home early in the morning, and the family had been searching for the child in the neighborhood all day without finding him.
The police station over there has already sent over the child's photo, and after comparison, it was confirmed that Bai Qianmo and her group rescued the child.
Half an hour later
An elderly man hurried over.
Where are they?
"In the lounge."
Bai Qianmo was resting with her eyes half-closed. The child was lying in her arms and didn't wake up. She was afraid of waking the little guy, so she didn't dare to move.
Only when a deep voice came from the doorway did she slowly move her shoulder and turn to look at the door.
Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a tall, elderly figure hurriedly walked in.
The old man looked to be in his seventies, wearing a long black coat and a retro British-style hat. Despite his age, he was upright and had sharp eyes.
As soon as he entered, his gaze fell on the child in Bai Qianmo's arms.
"Xiao Yan, I've finally found you! Your grandfather was so worried!" The old man's eyes were red as he strode toward Bai Qianmo.
Two other people followed closely behind the old man; they looked like bodyguards.
Then Officer Zhou and the young female officer entered.
"Mr. Wei, is this child your grandson?"
"Yes, yes, it's my grandson. We've finally found him." Old Master Wei looked relieved.
"Officer Zhou, thank you so much. If you hadn't found him in time, who knows what might have happened."
Officer Zhou smiled and looked at Bai Qianmo: "If you want to thank someone, thank Miss Bai. It was she and her friend who rescued the child from the kidnappers."
Grandpa Wei nodded repeatedly, seemingly only now paying attention to the people around him.
When his gaze fell on Bai Qianmo's face, his wise and deep eyes suddenly widened in shock: "You..."
Old Wei opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but after a long pause, he still couldn't say it.
The shock on his face was quickly replaced by a complex and unpredictable look as he stared at Bai Qianmo with a mixture of astonishment and inquiry.
