I paused my fingers as I packed my clothes, and suddenly fell silent.

This is the first time someone has asked me what kind of person Zhu Xiao is.

Cold-blooded, domineering, unsympathetic?

I can't say it, but from the first time I met him, I knew that this person was definitely a ruthless character I couldn't afford to mess with.

"You don't need to know, anyway, just don't mention him in the future."

After all, I still didn't feel at ease Gu Miaomiao, and repeated it a few times before leaving the crew step by step.

……

Zhu Xiao's call really came quickly.

Before I even arrived at the hospital, his phone was already chasing me.

I quickly picked it up.

That was his usual languid tone.

"I heard you've been wronged?"

"Don't dare to be."

I stopped and found a quiet place to listen to him.

Zhu Xiao chuckled on the other side of the phone, the voice was magnetic and particularly good.

"Cheng Lan."

"Huh?"

He paused for half a second, and his voice suddenly became hoarse.

"Didn't I tell you, don't keep it up."

It was a very light word, but the coldness in his voice was a little bit into my bones.

I reacted immediately, such a negotiation-like attitude is indeed disgusted by Zhu Xiao.

Didn't he say it last time, what's there, let me mention it directly.

This phone call should be a direct request for what I want.

I bit my lip, actually, I really had something to ask him for.

After Zhao Zhiguo ran away with the money last time, I never found him again.

Lu Huai'an came to me several times later, saying that the matching of volunteers was not ideal, and I can only hope to find Zhao Zhiguo now, so that it is possible to pick up Zhao Pingsheng's life.

"Fourth brother, I want to see someone."

"Who?"

There was a clang, as if he had lit a cigarette.

I unconsciously clenched my phone.

"My stepfather, Zhao Zhiguo."

"Okay."

Zhu Xiao put down a word very lightly, and there was a whirring wind on the other side of the phone, which was very strong.

I immediately reacted that he should be driving, opening the window and shaking the cigarette ash, so there was such a loud wind.

Zhu Xiao hung up the phone by himself.

I put away my phone with confidence and trotted all the way to the hospital.

Zhao Pingsheng's illness has dragged on for too long, that is, he is young and in good health, and now he is barely hanging on to his life, but he is asleep all the time.

When I entered the ward, Lu Huai'an was standing beside Zhao Pingsheng's bed to adjust the instruments, and several little nurses were recording something with notebooks in their hands.

I pushed the door open, and the eyes of the people turned to me, and I was a little cramped for a moment.

Lu Huai settled for a moment, straightened up, put his hand in his pocket and walked towards me.

He motioned for me to follow and led me straight to the rooftop to smoke.

Ever since he last caught me smoking, he has always led me up to the top of the building to swallow the smoke.

As soon as I took out my cigarette and lit it, I saw his gaze pause on my face.

"Cheng Lan."

"Huh?"

I said yes, and then I realized that his name had changed somewhere.

He used to call me Miss Cheng, but now he calls me Cheng Lan.

"Just now, a gentleman in a police uniform came over to help Zhao Pingsheng pay 100,000 yuan in medical expenses."

As his voice fell, I froze for a moment, my eyes widening unconsciously.

Police uniform, Zhou Linjiang?!

However, Lu Huaian didn't seem to finish speaking, and then added a sentence.

"But I helped you refuse."

He smiled at me, raised the cigarette in his hand, and jokingly asked for credit.

I was even more stunned, silent for a long time before I could hold back a sentence.

"Why are you ......?"

Lu Huai'an raised his eyebrows at me, he shook the ashes of his cigarette, and his tone was inexplicable.

"I think you followed Zhu Xiao, there shouldn't be a shortage of 100,000 yuan."

There was a gun and a stick in his words, but his expression looked flat and calm, not like he was mocking me.

I couldn't help but wonder.

What does Lu Huai'an mean?

I simply threw away the cigarette in my hand and stood up, staring at him stunned.

"Doctor Lu, what exactly do you want to say?"

He looked up at me, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, but his smile was cold.

"What, you don't want to refuse the 100,000 yuan?"

After Lu Huai'an finished speaking, he stood up suddenly, pressed step by step, and walked directly in front of me.

"Or is that policeman surnamed Zhou special to you?"

I was even more confused by his questions, and subconsciously took a hard breath.

What does this "also" mean?

"Lu Huai'an ......"

In fact, even if he doesn't help me refuse Zhou Linjiang's money, I won't ask for it.

But the tone he was in now made me feel as if I had done something wrong, which was uncomfortable and confusing.

Lu Huai'an stepped on the cigarette butt thrown on the ground, his pupils were black and bright, and there was a breathtaking light flashing inside, which inexplicably made his own thick bookish atmosphere a little suspicious.

He looked at me like that for a few seconds before he opened his mouth again.

"Cheng Lan, listen."

"Zhu Xiao is not a good person, if you follow him, there will be no good results."

When Lu Huai'an said this, his expression was extremely serious and serious.

I was stunned for a moment.

How familiar it sounded, I had heard it twice in a row in such a short period of time.

It can be seen that Zhu Xiaoqi really has a lot of grievances.

In fact, since the last time Lu Huai'an and I bumped into each other in the Royal Garden, the two of us seem to have reached a consensus inexplicably and not mention this matter to each other.

But today he suddenly told me this, and all the scenes of that day ran quickly in my mind again.

Shame swept over me, my face turned pale, I took a deep breath and turned to leave.

At that time, I didn't care about Lu Huai'an at all, but Zhao Pingsheng's attending doctor, and I completely forgot the respectful attitude I had towards him on weekdays.

It wasn't until the moment I slammed the door that Lu Huai'an's voice called my name behind me.

"Cheng Lan, you stop!"

I ignored it and hurried down the stairs.

I sat next to Zhao Pingsheng's hospital bed for a long time that day.

Truth be told, I'm not blind.

What kind of person Zhu Xiao is, I know very well in my heart.

But if I had any other way, I wouldn't be by his side as I am now.

I'm clearly walking on thin ice, living cautiously every moment.

But there are always people who think that all this is what I am willing to do.

How sad.

……

When I arrived at the crew the next day, I remembered to send a text message to Zhou Linjiang.

He was kind and I deserve to thank him.

The text messages are deleted, deleted, typed, and the wording is very formal.

The moment I pressed the send button, I even had an illusion.

This may have written a pennant and solemnly sent it to the people's police.

Zhou Linjiang really didn't reply.

I put away my phone and happened to see Director Huang waving at me.

I hurriedly wrapped up my coat and ran over, only to see a person standing next to Director Huang, with his back to me.

"Cheng Lan, let me introduce you, this is also the main investor of our drama, Zhou Shen, Mr. Zhou."
