Chapter 98
After giving these instructions, Lao Mo said that he had some work on hand, exchanged a few words with Lu Zixi, and said that he could come to him if he had any questions in the future, then he hurriedly logged off.
Lu Zixi didn't know how the system worked, and it was not good to disturb it anymore, so he put away his phone and stood up.
Although he insisted that he was fine, the people from Yuanhong didn't dare to admit it so readily. Instead, they took him for a thorough physical examination.
Some indicators did not come out so quickly, so Lu Zixi could only walk to the door of the emergency room again, look at the lights on it, and silently pray that Yan Yunzhen was safe.
Entertainment reporters, keenly aware of gossip, crowded outside the hospital. Although Yuanhong's security was able to stop them all at the door, they could not stop them from trying to get through the crowd, pointing their guns at Lu Zixi who was guarding outside the emergency department, or extending the microphone to Song Yang who was busy blocking the interview.
"Mr. Lu Wenqi! Mr. Lu Wenqi, excuse me!"
"An insider reported that at midnight today, an explosion occurred on the set of the movie 'Searching for Mr. X,' injuring several people. Is this true?"
"Mr. Lu Wenqi, according to an unnamed insider, the explosion was caused by the lead actor's misoperation. Could you please tell me which lead actor's misoperation caused the explosion?"
"An eyewitness reported that the explosion scene was extremely bloody and caused multiple deaths. Filming for 'Searching for Mr. X' cannot continue, and all of Yuanhong's previous investment and efforts will be wasted. Is this true?"
…
These entertainment reporters who discovered gossip were like vultures that were surprised to find rotten meat. They emerged from the darkness like ghosts, as if they did not need sleep or holidays. A series of spicy and sharp questions kept being thrown at Lu Zixi, as if to drown him.
Lu Zixi watched as these people's stories became more and more outrageous, and they seemed to be sure that he would not respond, so they would exaggerate the situation and make up a press release, and then add the sentence "The person involved has not yet responded to this question" at the end to incite public opinion and achieve their own goals. He suddenly felt a headache.
He took out his cell phone and called Zhou He to ask what they were planning to do.
This was not the time to be a hero. He couldn't just rush up and confront those cunning entertainment reporters. Lu Zixi knew that at this sensitive juncture, anything he did would be infinitely magnified. If he took a wrong step, it would likely bring indelible and catastrophic consequences to the film.
Fortunately, Yuanhong and the crew reacted much faster than he had imagined, and were already preparing to hold a press conference. Yuanhong had a very professional public relations spokesperson who could handle this issue. His current task was to stay in the hospital obediently, not run around, and -
Stay by Yan Yunzhen's side, waiting for him to wake up.
It is said that the last sentence was added by Yan Yuanhong himself, which made Lu Zixi tremble with fear.
He knew that Yan Yunzhen had basically never hidden their affairs from his parents, and even the hype of their relationship was tacitly approved by Yan Yuanhong. But even though he knew it, he still felt some inexplicable nervousness when he heard Yan Yuanhong personally entrust his son to him.
The door to the emergency room behind him opened, and Lu Zixi hurried over. The doctor took off his mask wearily and pointed upstairs: "The patient is fine, much better than we thought. He has been taken up via the internal elevator to the third floor, intensive care unit 3."
Lu Zixi hurriedly thanked the doctor and, without waiting for the elevator, turned around and ran upstairs.
The power of the explosion just now still frightened him, so when he walked to the door of Yan Yunzhen's ward, he didn't dare to push the door open.
He was afraid to see Yan Yunzhen injured. He didn't want to experience that suffocating and heart-wrenching feeling a second time.
But through the window glass of the ward, Lu Zixi was surprised to find that Yan Yunzhen had woken up. He saw Yan Yunzhen turn his head slowly, and his light-colored eyes blinked at him gently, as if filled with a curved lake water.
Apart from filming, Lu Zixi has hardly shed a tear since he was a child.
But at this moment, he suddenly wanted to bury his head in Yan Yunzhen's arms and cry.
After experiencing such an accident, he realized that Yan Yunzhen was fine and he was still alive, which was the happiest thing in the world.
Lu Zixi blinked hard, holding back his tears to make himself appear less vulnerable, then he pushed open the door and walked in.
He sat at the head of the bed, held Yan Yunzhen's hanging hand, placed it against his cheek, and rubbed it gently.
"Baby, don't cry..." Yan Yunzhen's voice was hoarse and soft, but Lu Zixi understood it effortlessly. "It didn't hurt at first, but when your eyes turned red, it started to hurt me."
"Nonsense," Lu Zixi tried to sound more lively, but his voice still choked as he spoke. "I clearly blocked your sense of pain. Let alone heartache, you shouldn't even feel the spiciness right now."
Yan Yunzhen smiled without saying anything. He pulled Lu Zixi's hand to his chest and placed it there heavily.
"Have you had a checkup?" Yan Yunzhen said, "By the time I realized the explosives weren't right, it was too late. I could only throw myself at you. You really scared me back then. I kept asking if it hurt, if you were injured, and I nearly screamed until my throat was broken, but you just stared at me blankly... Do you know what it feels like to have blood flow reversed? It's like a buzzing sound, all the blood rushing to your brain, and you completely freeze. It took me ages to realize I was the one injured."
"I've had a checkup, and the indicators are all normal. There should be nothing wrong." Lu Zixi said, "It was just that the noise was too loud, and I was facing the light, so I couldn't see or hear anything for a moment - and by the time I reacted, you were already hugging me."
Lu Zixi knew that under the function of the system, Yan Yunzhen's body was recovering at a relatively fast speed, and he should not be affected by the anesthetic now, and could not feel pain, numbness, itching or other discomforts, just like a normal person forced to lie in bed.
Afraid that he would be bored, Lu Zixi told Yan Yunzhen about the current situation and his connection with other systems, and he also explained the warning of the youngest brother word for word.
He didn't specifically mention the red envelope group, but he knew Yan Yunzhen must have understood. He had some special way of communicating with those systems, because Yan Yunzhen quickly asked, "If this world is real, then the so-called self-cleaning program can't be a string of code. So, could the self-cleaning program itself also be... what's that forbidden word? It finds the right person, cooperates with him, and appears when necessary to clean up the bugs that appear in the world. Since it is one of their kind, it may have communicated with you before, but you just didn't know it."
"You mean the system?" Lu Zixi said directly without any restrictions on banned words. He thought, "You have a point."
Even if Lu Zixi had never dealt with the "self-cleaning program", there were actually so many systems in the m group, and many of them were often lurking, so he couldn't be sure that no other system was spying on the screen.
In this case, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, which is really not good.
"Then let's assume it's a system. What's the most likely identity of its host?" Lu Zixi and Yan Yunzhen exchanged glances and unanimously announced a name, "Fu Ruixing."
It's him.
First of all, Fu Ruixing is Tianhan's man. If he wants to make things difficult for them, it will not only not make people around him feel strange, but he will also get help from Tianhan. To a certain extent, this is also a great help in maintaining his personal image.
Secondly, Fu Ruixing's status was high enough and he had enough power to threaten them. If it were just a small-time figure, it would be a pipe dream to just climb up and get to their level. If there were any mistakes in his actions, it would be difficult for anyone to cover him up. But Fu Ruixing did not have such a problem.
Finally, Fu Ruixing's sudden replacement and his constant wandering around the studio were also very puzzling. Regardless of whether the explosion was really related to him, when listing the suspects, Lu Zixi couldn't convince himself to let him go easily.
If the so-called self-cleaning program really existed, then Lu Zixi highly suspected that the person who wanted to kill him in his past and present lives was most likely this self-cleaning program. According to current speculation, it was -
Fu Ruixing.
Coming to this conclusion did not make the two of them feel any more relieved, but instead made them feel even more depressed.
Because they all knew that neither Tianhan nor Fu Ruixing were easy opponents to deal with.
The two sat facing each other in silence for a while. Yan Yunzhen gently patted Lu Zixi's hand and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
"fine."
Although Lu Zixi said this, after all, he had been shooting scenes all night long, and then there were explosions, examinations, and anxiety. It would be strange if he was not sleepy now.
"Come sleep here?"
Yan Yunzhen was about to move aside when Lu Zixi held him back: "Don't! You should take good care of yourself. If I sleep in the same bed with you now, I'm afraid I'll hurt you if I turn over. Better not."
Lu Zixi looked around and found a camp bed, so he brought it over and placed it next to him.
"Is this okay?" Yan Yunzhen asked with some concern.
"Okay, I've been used to sleeping on this since I was a kid. Have you forgotten where I came from?" Lu Zixi patted the army green canvas that made him feel so at home. "I used to be unable to sleep during my lunch break unless I lay on the camp bed."
Lu Zixi stretched out a hand and placed it in Yan Yunzhen's palm, which he held and rubbed over and over again.
"I thought you would threaten me, like, don't do this again next time." Just as Lu Zixi was about to fall asleep, Yan Yunzhen suddenly spoke with a smile in his voice, "But you didn't."
Lu Zixi woke up instantly, slapped the bed, and said angrily, "How dare you do it again?"
"I dare not," Yan Yunzhen smiled and kissed his fingers with a pious look, "and I will never do that."
"Actually... it's because I understand you." Lu Zixi finished joking and finally answered the question seriously. He let him kiss one hand and placed the other hand under the back of his head. "If it were me, I would also protect you at all costs. There's nothing to say about it. It's the instinct for love."
"So we all have to protect ourselves. Protecting ourselves means protecting each other." Lu Zixi turned to look at him and said seriously.
Yan Yunzhen finally said nothing more. When he spoke, a solemn expression appeared between his brows, and he finally returned to his usual calm and composed demeanor. "The only good news now is that the other party may not know that we have discovered him or their existence."
Lu Zixi knew that the "they" Yan Yunzhen was referring to was the situation where the system and the host existed simultaneously under the identity of "Fu Ruixing". Just like the male god system and Yan Yunzhen before, he nodded solemnly and said, "I will pay attention to find out relevant information."
