Hey! The Criminal Assistance System Can Even Be Used Like This? 157

Entering the emergency hall, the assistant director introduced, “This is Director Zhang’s wife. You can call her Qing Jie!”

“Hello, Qing Jie,” Xu Zhizhi greeted.

Zhao Qing looked at Xu Zhizhi, “It’s rare for you to come; you even patiently explained things to those people outside.”

Confronted with so many cameras and microphones, she could hardly articulate anything. With Xu Zhizhi being the female lead who understood the crew well and was officially joining, it was just right for her to explain the situation.

“Is everything alright? What happened to Director Zhang? How did he suddenly have an accident?” Xu Zhizhi asked Zhao Qing with some concern.

The fact that he was sent to emergency care definitely meant it wasn’t a simple accident.

Zhao Qing lowered her eyes at her words and took a deep breath, “It’s quite unfortunate. We went out to grab a midnight snack. He’s been under a lot of pressure lately and wanted to have a drink to unwind…”

It was just coincidental; they had just stepped out to have a drink.

For ambiance, they chose the open-air bar they often frequented and settled down at a table.

Before they even started drinking, a decorative wooden rack fell over.

The wooden beam serving as support suddenly crashed onto Zhang Yan’s head, causing a significant gash.

They immediately called for emergency services, leading to him being rushed to the hospital for stitches.

Unexpectedly, someone recognized Zhang Yan and posted a video online.

Additionally, with Xu Zhizhi’s car accident and Qiu Xu nearly getting hit by a car that night while running a high fever, there were also revelations regarding various strange occurrences within the crew.

When Xu Zhizhi received the call, the crew’s trending topics had already escalated to several.

After listening, Xu Zhizhi frowned slightly and picked up her phone to take a look.

As expected, the news of her injury from a few days ago had once again made it to the trending topics.

The remaining headlines were rather shocking.

#Qiu Xu narrowly avoided being hit by a car, fell ill# #Mysterious incidents on the ‘Heaven’s Theft Plan’ crew# #Director of the crew injured severely by a wooden beam#, etc.

“The movie crew’s official Weibo should release a clarification soon; I’ll retweet it from my account.” Xu Zhizhi said to the assistant director.

Being immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, Xu Zhizhi knew how to phrase a clarification.

The assistant director was nervous inside, muttering about the crew’s bad luck, feeling unsettled.

Hearing Xu Zhizhi’s words, he finally snapped back to reality, thinking about how to provide the clarification.

Ultimately, a clarification was required first; they couldn’t let rumors ruin them.

At that moment, Qiu Xu, who was also in the hospital, arrived, wearing a thin black coat over his hospital gown.

Since it was spring, this was warm enough for older adults.

He was supported by his assistant, walking from another area of the emergency room towards the patient hallway.

He looked at Zhao Qing, anxious, “Sister-in-law, how is Zhang Yan?”

“Brother Qiu, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you not to come?” Zhao Qing hastily stepped forward to help the somewhat weak Qiu Xu, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

Xu Zhizhi chimed in, “We are here; it’s enough. Senior Qiu, you should conserve your energy and rest more.”

“I can’t be at ease if I don’t come!” Qiu Xu said with worry.

The assistant director tried to coax a few words, hoping Qiu Xu would return home.

He was currently drafting the clarification statement, preparing to send it out.

Just then, Zhang Yan, his wounds stitched and bandaged, was wheeled out.

The doctor looked at those present, paused momentarily on Xu Zhizhi before addressing Zhao Qing, “Family of Zhang Yan, I need to remind you of some precautions to take, and then you can complete his admission process.

We will observe him today, and if the checkup shows no issues, he can be discharged.”

Zhao Qing picked up her bag and quickly rushed towards the doctor, listening attentively to the instructions on what to avoid and how to handle the admission procedures.

Once the doctor was sent off, everyone began to busy themselves with admission formalities, collecting medication, and so forth.

Xu Zhizhi looked at Zhang Yan, relieved to see his expression clear, only some bandages on his forehead and hands.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a major problem; it was less severe than her car accident.

She took the initiative to help, and they smoothly completed the admission process.

Zhang Yan remained silent, clearly disturbed within.

Feng Jie had brought some items for visiting patients, while their assistants waited in the guest room outside.

Standing in the ward, Xu Zhizhi watched as the nurse took Zhang Yan’s blood pressure and provided instructions for changing dressings, etc.

Others either stood or sat, waiting in the room.

After the nurse left, Zhang Yan finally looked towards everyone, his gaze ultimately landing on Xu Zhizhi, “I might have to go back on my word; I want to temporarily put this movie aside.”

The room fell silent.

Xu Zhizhi held her bag, her brow slightly furrowed.

Everyone else also remained quiet, unsure of what to say.

Zhang Yan scanned the group, his eyes filled with deep guilt, knowing the movie had been in preparation for a long time.

To give it up like this inevitably stirred complex emotions for him.

The investment in the film was significant, and if not for this unforeseen circumstance, he genuinely didn’t want to halt.

Fortunately, he covered most of the investment himself, and he could convince others to let him make up for the remainin
