Hu Shih went out to negotiate, but failed to gain the upper hand.
First of all, the nurses and doctors were at work, so they couldn't go out to buy a cell phone for Hu Shi.
Secondly, their hospital is currently blocked inside and out by reporters and fans, making it impossible for anyone to get in.
Having no other option, Hu Shih borrowed a mobile phone to let his agent know he was safe.
Fortunately, a nurse used her lunch break to study, and an extra iPad was borrowed by Hu Shi.
Being able to go online and read gossip is better than having nothing at all.
Hu Shi wanted to return to his ward and share the sacred fruit with Pei Zhi.
Hu Shi was stopped outside the ward by the caregiver, who said, "I'm sorry, your wife is asleep."
"You fell asleep so soon?"
Hu Shi's tone was somewhat incredulous. "No, Pei Zhi was just awake, wasn't she?"
Hu Shih stood on tiptoe; Pei Zhi seemed to be really asleep.
Today was an absolutely wonderful day, so it's normal to feel tired.
Hu Shih didn't disturb him further and turned back to his ward.
After Hu Shi returned to his room, the caregiver immediately made a phone call: "He has already passed away, and his wife is now in a deep sleep."
The assistant led the caregiver and bodyguard into Pei Zhi's ward, and the caregiver removed the IV drip.
The caregiver instructed, "The medication contains a sedative ingredient, so please be a little gentler."
Several people simply pushed Pei Zhi's hospital bed out of the room.
The assistant murmured, "If you do this, sir, your wife will be angry when she wakes up."
No one could answer the assistant's question; everyone silently went about their own business.
Meanwhile, Hu Shih in the next room was looking at headlines on his iPad.
Sure enough, the video of him and Pei Zhi falling into the river has become explosive news on various platforms.
This is no small matter; it's a real fall into the river, not a movie scene.
Two celebrities were rear-ended by a group of brainless fans and fell into the river.
Passersby had no idea that it was Pei Zhi who chose to jump into the river.
All they saw was that Pei Zhi and Hu Shi were driven to the point of falling into the river by their brainless fans.
If Pei Zhi's negative comments had already reached a peak, then...
Things have improved a little bit now.
Some sharp-tongued journalists have even written lengthy articles criticizing these brainless fans.
Some passersby couldn't stand it and started to speak up.
Pei Zhi cheated on her husband; that's a moral and ethical issue on her part, but what does that have to do with her brainless fans?
[I don't believe that these two men were unaware of the situation, given the statement issued by Chi Xiuwen and the displays of affection Lu Mingxu has been showing on Weibo these past few days.]
[Chi Xiuwen has withdrawn from filming. Why did he withdraw from filming when everything was fine?]
[Let's break down the timeline: Lu Mingxu posted on Weibo that evening, and the next day, Chi Xiuwen withdrew from filming. Was there really no deliberate element involved?]
This world is just one giant Edinburgh.
【No, am I the only one who wants to ask Pei Zhi for some strategy tips?】
[First she managed to snag a top star, then she made a movie star swoon; Pei Zhi's sister's got some skills.]
Finally, someone asked me what I was really thinking. Everyone's criticizing Pei Zhi, but who wouldn't want to be Pei Zhi?
[Haha, I just want to ask those Pei Zhis who are driven mad with jealousy, aren't they secretly dying of envy?]
I openly admit that I envy Pei Zhi.
[Sleeping with my ex-husband wasn't enough, I slept with my current husband too. I must have dug up Pei Zhi's family's ancestral graves in my past life!]
I want to possess Pei Zhi's body for a day, or even just one night. I'm not picky about who I am.
Pei Zhi is a woman both envied and hated by countless women.
[I'm begging Pei Zhi to publish a handbook on talking to men. She's got some skills to handle these two tough nuts to crack.]
As Hu Shi scrolled through the comments, he never expected that Pei Zhi would try to clear her name in this way.
Just as Hu Shih was lying on the hospital bed with his legs crossed, scrolling through his iPad, the door to the ward was pushed open.
What brings you here?
Hu Shih was quite surprised to see who had arrived. Weren't these the two male protagonists?
Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu asked in unison, "Where is Pei Zhi?"
Hu Shi rolled his eyes rather rudely and said, "Although I know you're not here to see me, can't you at least pretend a little?"
Hu Shi pointed to the gauze on his arm and said, "I'm injured too, because of you all."
Lu Mingxu, impatient to listen any longer, said, "Stop joking around, where's Pei Zhi?"
"It's in the next ward."
"Next door?" Chi Xiuwen's eyes narrowed. "There aren't even any hospital beds next door, let alone people?"
"How could that be?" Hu Shih naturally didn't believe it.
He was just in Pei Zhi's hospital room, chatting with her.
Hu Shih put on slippers, held an iPad, and led the two people to their destination.
The door to the next ward was still open, but there was one less bed inside.
No, there's also the patient Pei Zhi.
Hu Shih stood at the door of the ward, blinked, and glanced at the furnishings inside.
There were still orange peels he had just peeled in the trash can, and on the hook was Pei Zhi's unfinished IV drip.
"No, it was just an hour ago, no, half an hour ago, Pei Zhi was here."
Hu Shih pointed to the space created by moving the hospital bed.
Lu Mingxu pondered, "Was she taken by the nurse for a checkup?"
Before Hu Shih could catch up, Chi Hsiu-wen and Lu Ming-hsu hurriedly went to the nurses' station to inquire.
Where did the patient in that ward go?
The nurse glanced around the ward and replied, "You mean Pei Zhi? She's been transferred to another hospital."
Hu Shih looked anxious. "Absolutely impossible. I was just chatting with her. Why didn't she tell me she was transferring to another hospital?"
