Qin Beiming was extremely anxious; his handsome, sword-like eyebrows furrowed into a knot in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he had hurriedly scooped Ling Mo up in his arms.
"It still hurts a lot? Shall we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. Besides, the hospital can't cure it anyway."
Ling Mo shook his head, staring intently at the anxious Qin Beiming, looking even more bewildered.
At this moment, she could completely feel his anxiety and concern.
She longed to ask him directly, but feared his answer would only make her more deeply entangled. After much hesitation, she ultimately refrained from asking.
"How could it not be cured?"
Qin Beiming vaguely sensed that Ling Mo's emotions were a bit off, so instead of rushing her to the hospital, he quietly carried her back to bed and asked her earnestly:
"MoMo, tell me, what exactly happened?"
"It's nothing. I just haven't slept all night and I'm a little disoriented." Ling Mo lazily lowered his head, his hands unconsciously fiddling with the corner of his pajamas.
In fact, having been used and betrayed by Liang Feifan, Ling Tian, Shi Yi, and others, she was already adept at handling this type of incident.
However, although she knew the world was cold and people's hearts were unpredictable, she also knew how precious sincerity was. Just like now, even though she had some suspicions that Qin Beiming had other intentions, she was still unwilling to question his sincerity.
Qin Beiming mistakenly thought that Ling Mo was frightened by his appearance during his illness last night, which was why he seemed so absent-minded, and repeatedly apologized:
"I'm sorry I made you worry again."
"I'm going to class."
Ling Mo avoided his gaze, gently broke free from his grasp, and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
Her steps were somewhat hurried, and she seemed to be fleeing in panic.
"I send you."
Qin Beiming didn't bother to put on a coat, grabbed his phone from beside his pillow, and hurriedly followed.
He didn't even notice the text message from Mr. Smith.
Because Mr. Smith would often forward him advertorials from public platforms, especially the kind of toxic motivational articles that left Qin Beiming speechless, he would generally never take the initiative to check his chat history with Mr. Smith.
Seeing Ling Mo dressed neatly and quickly go downstairs, Qin Beiming hurriedly followed.
But before she could take two steps, she unexpectedly received a call from Qin Shaojing.
Hearing a commotion coming from the receiver, Qin Beiming suddenly stopped, his thin lips moving slightly:
"What's up?"
"Brother, they're on set, what should I do?"
Do you know how many people the other side has sent?
"A huge group, I'd guess about twenty people. They said they were here to collect protection money, but the one leading them, that scoundrel, followed me before, I remember him," Qin Shaojing said hurriedly, hiding in the makeshift toilet.
Send me your location, I'll be right there.
"Thank you, brother."
Qin Shaojing hung up the phone shakily and hurriedly sent Qin Beiming the exact location of the film crew.
He was currently in a very remote place in the suburbs of Linjiang, and all he could see in all directions were rolling hills.
Due to the terrain limitations, trying to escape right under the noses of a dozen or so enemy soldiers would be extremely difficult.
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Qin Beiming sent a text message asking Chen Guo to bring breakfast to Ling Mo at No. 1 Middle School shortly before rushing off to the film set...
Half an hour later, the moment Chen Guo strode into Class F classroom pushing his trolley, a deafening jeer suddenly erupted in the classroom.
Ling Mo stared in astonishment as Chen Guo slowly pushed a cart piled high with breakfast toward her, and her lips twitched involuntarily.
She had long known that Chen Guo was capable of handling things, but she never expected that he would make such a grand show of force every time he took action.
Just looking at his posture, the sound of breakfast vendors hawking their wares outside the school gates suddenly flashed into her mind:
Sticky rice, soy milk, fried dough sticks, egg pancakes, steamed buns, mantou (steamed bread), tea eggs—you name it, we have it. Nutritionally balanced, affordable, and guaranteed to fill you up...
The thought of this scene made Ling Mo shudder, so embarrassed that he could practically dig a hole in his toes.
Fortunately, Chen Guo wasn't that crazy. After delivering breakfast to her, he didn't start selling breakfast on the spot. Instead, he distributed the various breakfasts from the cart to his classmates.
During the distribution of breakfast, he kept saying "The Boss instructed me," which immediately won over the classmates' goodwill towards Qin Beiming.
And what he said to Ling Mo as he turned around made everyone envious:
"Miss Ling, after you finish your morning self-study, remember to come to the infirmary. The boss told me you're not feeling well, so he specifically asked me to call all the good doctors in the neighborhood."
Where are the others?
"The boss has an urgent matter and can't come right away."
"I see."
Ling Mo nodded, holding the still-warm milk tea, a sudden surge of warmth welled up in his heart.
Even when he was in a hurry, he never neglected her.
Such subtlety doesn't seem like a skillful application.
...
Linjiang suburbs, the filming location of "National Husband".
Qin Beiming got out of the car and walked straight into the chaotic film set.
He completely ignored the group of thugs disguised as local gangsters, and abruptly shoved away the bald-headed thug who was tightly gripping Qin Shaojing's collar. His cold and stern expression sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
"Damn it! How dare you push me? You've got some nerve!"
When Qin Beiming pushed the bald man, he stumbled and almost fell into the water vat next to him with his smooth, bald head, which was as smooth as a hard-boiled egg. Fortunately, his henchmen behind him caught him in time.
