[unexpected signs chapter 40]

    Qin Yu pushed the treatment car into the room and came to Cheng Xia''s bedside: "Shaoze, I''ll change Cheng Xia''s dressing." Pei Shaoze immediately gets up to get out of the way and looks worried at Cheng Xia.

    Cheng Xia looks up and smiles at Qin Yu. It doesn''t seem very funny.

    Qin Yu''s clear eyes are really pleasing to his eyes. He took out a disinfectant cotton swab to disinfect Cheng Xia''s wound. He put on a clean gauze and comforted him in a soft voice: "don''t worry, your wound is not deep. I used a special suture for you in dermatology department. After recovery, there will be no obvious scar."

    Cheng Xia doesn''t care about the problem of "whether to leave a scar". The injury under the clavicle can''t be seen even if she wears short sleeves in summer. But doctor Qin Yu''s gentle attitude made Cheng Xia feel relaxed. He looked up at each other and said seriously, "thank you, doctor Qin. I''m sorry to trouble you this time."

    Omega, who is clever and sensible, is easy to make people feel good about him. Qin Yu feels that Cheng Xia is a good match for Pei Shaoze. Maybe Pei Shaoze was influenced by Cheng Xia when he accepted and began to work hard recently? Sure enough, when you meet the right person, the dandy can turn his back and the prodigal can turn his back!

    As soon as Pei Shaoze saw Qin Yu''s expression, he knew that he had misunderstood again. Pei Shaoze doesn''t plan to explain. It''s almost two o''clock in the morning. When Qin Yu finishes changing his medicine, he goes to the bedside and says to Cheng Xia, "you''re scared today. First, have a good sleep. I''ll take care of the aftercare work, have a rest, and don''t think about it, you know? "

    Cheng Xia looked at Pei Shaoze and said, "Mr. Pei, go back to have a rest. It''s two o''clock. You must be very tired to catch a plane from Ya''an. Let''s talk about it tomorrow."

    Pei Shaoze''s words of concern warmed his heart slightly. He reached out his hand and gently helped Cheng Xia cover the quilt: "I''ll go first. If there''s anything, I''ll ask Dr. Qin. He''s on the night shift tonight."

    Cheng Xia nodded: "good night, Mr. Pei."

    Pei Shaoze turns off the light and goes out with Qin Yu.

    Qin Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cheng Xia is very good. Since you like him, you should cherish it."

    Pei Shaoze did not directly answer: "thank you. I owe you another favor."

    "When you grow up in crotch pants, you should be polite to me!" Qin Yu laughed and then said, "by the way, Cheng Xia''s injury is not serious. You don''t have to worry too much. Go back to sleep."

    "Well, I''ll see him again tomorrow. This side of the hospital, please

    Pei Shaoze turns around and goes downstairs. At the entrance of the elevator, he meets Zhou Yan, who is in a hurry to come back. They almost bump into each other. Zhou Yan''s eyes are wide open. He thinks that he has hallucination: "Pei, Pei general manager? Aren''t you in Ya''an... "

    "I came back by changing my ticket." Pei Shaoze frowned and asked in a deep voice, "what happened at that time?"

    Zhou Yan is also in a state of shock. Cheng Xia''s wound has been treated. Doctor Qin said that the injury was not serious, so she went to the 24-hour convenience store to buy some daily necessities for Cheng Xia.

    With PEI Shaoze''s sharp eyes, Zhou Yan''s back trembled, quickly sorted out his ideas, and explained: "according to the original arrangement, Qin Nian will help Lu Fengyang block the sword, which is also the key opportunity for them to become good friends from strangers. At the beginning, the shooting was very smooth. During the scuffle of seven people, one of the group performers mistakenly injured Cheng Xia. "

    "Injured by mistake?" Pei Shaoze eyes cold sharp, "you check for a long time, the conclusion is hurt by mistake?"

    "Er... Director Liu found out the source of the knife. The knife was bought by the crew a few days ago to cut fruit, because it was similar to the knife prepared by the props team. When the group actor took the knife, he accidentally took it wrong. The group actor is a college student. He didn''t go home during the holiday and wanted to earn some money by doing odd jobs. He didn''t know Cheng Xia at all. There should be no reason to hurt Cheng Xia intentionally? " Zhou Yan was very disturbed by this, especially when Pei''s eyes were gazing at her. She felt like a criminal suspect in the face of the police questioning.

    "I see. I''ll go to the crew to confirm." Pei Shaoze didn''t say much. Looking at Zhou Yan, he whispered, "take good care of Cheng Xia. I don''t want this to happen again."

    "Yes, Mr. Pei, I will learn a lesson!" Zhou Yan hastened to promise.

    "Go, it''s hard." Pei Shaoze nodded to her and turned to the parking lot at the gate of the hospital.

    Accidental injury? Pei Shaoze always thinks that things are not so simple.

    How can it be confused between the knife that the crew bought to cut the fruit and the knife that the prop crew prepared to shoot? And it happened to be wrongly played by the group? If all the staff of the production team are so negligent, the actors who make martial arts plays will die dozens of times.

    Pei Shaoze took a deep breath and walked quickly to the car.

    When he opened the car door, Pei Shaoyan was brushing his mobile phone in the back row. Seeing his brother sitting on the car, he asked anxiously: "brother, is Cheng Xia OK?"

    Pei Shaoze said: "fortunately, the injury is not serious."

    Pei Shaoyan was relieved: "I just used my mobile phone to brush all yesterday''s entertainment news. There was no website to report this. It should have been concealed by the crew. At present, no media reporter knows that Cheng Xia was injured."

    Pei Shaoze said coldly: "I asked director Liu to keep it secret. Once things get big, those reporters and paparazzi will rush to the hospital to disturb Cheng Xia''s rest. Whatever the outcome, it''s best to deal with it in secret. " He said to the driver in the front row, "Uncle Zhong, go to No.17 middle school."

    The new driver was found by Zhang Fan for Pei Shaoze. His surname was Zhong. He was 45 years old. He was very honest and didn''t ask a question. Hearing this, he replied: "OK, Mr. Pei."

    Pei Shaoyan was stunned: "brother, go to No.17 middle school? You''re not going to sleep tonight? "

    Pei Shaoze''s face was cold: "director Liu has been checking for a long time and said it was a mistake. I don''t believe it. I''ll go and have a look myself."

    No.17 middle school is not far from Binjiang private hospital. Besides, there are few cars on the street in the early morning. Uncle Zhong drives the car to the highest speed and arrives in less than 10 minutes.

    When the two brothers got out of the car and walked into the school, it was two ten in the morning.

    The lights were bright in the school. Obviously, this kind of thing happened in the evening shooting, and everyone was afraid to sleep. Liu Xueyi, in particular, has been waiting for Mr. Pei to come back since he received a phone call from Mr. Pei.

    Pei Shaoyan kept up with his brother and muttered in a low voice: "how can someone bring a real knife into the set? Brother, do you think it''s not easy? Does Cheng Xia have any enemies

    Pei Shaoze frowned and thought. A moment later, he said, "let''s talk about it at the scene."

    When they came to the set, a group of staff, such as Liu Dao, Xu screenwriter, author, props, lighting photography and so on, had not dispersed. The scene remained the same, and several mass actors looked terrified. Liu Xueyi saw Pei Shaoze and quickly stepped forward: "Mr. Pei, I''m really sorry that the crew had such a thing and let you rush back all night."

    Pei Shaoze''s eyes swept to several mass actors: "who stabbed Cheng Xia?"

    Liu Xueyi pointed to the red haired young man squatting there smoking. Pei Shaoze looked at him. The young man had a sharp look at alpha. His back was chilly. He quickly waved his hand and said, "it''s none of my business. The knife was given to me by the props group! There was no problem in the afternoon rehearsal. How could I know that when I was officially filming, it turned into a real sword

    Pei Shaoze asked faintly, "what''s your name?"

    The young man whispered, "Zhou, Zhou Peng."

    Pei Shaoze ignored him and asked Liu Xueyi in a low voice, "is the original film on file?"

    Liu Xueyi nodded: "yes, Mr. Pei, do you want to see it in person?"

    "Well, go to the next conference room and show me the big screen." Pei Shaoze glanced at the mass actors, "I''ll find out about this. If it''s really the fault of our props group, I''ll give you spiritual compensation. Please wait a moment."

    Director Liu took the staff and President Pei to the common meeting room of the crew and connected the machine to the projection screen.

    Pei Shaoze sat in the first place, his face was serious, his eyes were as cold as ice. Alpha''s powerful aura shocked all the people on the scene. The whole conference room was silent, and the projection screen began to play the group drama shot at night.

    In the picture, Cheng Xia and Shen Kai are back to back, working together to deal with the five gangsters around. Cheng Xia''s play is neat and handsome. He sweeps the gangsters to the ground, and then turns to block the attack from the man on the side. Shen Kai is also very cooperative, and the scene is very smooth.

    The scene was fierce, and the camera recorded that one of the gangsters fell to the ground and suddenly took out a knife from his pocket.

    Because the script needs close-up, this scene was captured by camera 2.

    Pei Shaoze pressed the pause, enlarged the picture, fixed it on the knife, and asked in a deep voice: "props group, this knife looks the same as the props you made, doesn''t it?"

    The director of the props group said: "yes, yes, Mr. Pei, because the gangsters in this scene use fruit knives, so the props we made refer to the shape of fruit knives and try to make them look like, so the audience won''t play..."

    At this time, there are two knives on the table. One is a fake one made by the props group, and the other is a real one that hurt Cheng Xia. From the appearance, the two knives are really very close.

    Under the gaze of all the people, Pei Shaoze suddenly picked up one of the knives and stabbed at the back of his hand!

    Everyone at the scene breathed with fright——

    However, when the sharp knife touched the back of his hand, it retracted automatically without any damage. Pei Shaoze threw the prop knife "pa" on the table, picked his eyebrows and asked, "I can tell which one is the real one. You are specialized in making props. Can''t you tell the real one from the fake one?"

    The head of the props group shook his back and explained in a trembling voice: "before filming in the evening, I did check the props. There was no problem with the knife. After checking, I put the props in the position that the group can get..."

    Pei Shaoze said coldly: "since you are sure to check, it must be before filming, someone took advantage of the confusion to change the knife."

    As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene took a breath of cool air. The staff made mistakes in cutting tools, and someone deliberately replaced them. This is not a concept at all! Change the knife. It''s murder!

    This is too serious.

    Liu Xueyi''s face is as black as the bottom of a pot. Pei Shaoze continued to play the film and played back the scene of Cheng Xia''s injury in slow motion.

    In the screen, someone stabs Cheng Xia. A lot of blood gushes out of Cheng Xia''s chest. The dazzling blood soon turns his white sweater red. Cheng Xia''s eyes are slightly widened. He notices that he is injured and presses his right hand on his chest. The severe pain distorts his whole face. His eyes are full of panic and his face is very pale

    Pei Shaoze watched the scene with his own eyes. The pain of his heart was like someone cutting his nerve with a knife.

    He''s really in love. I wish I could go back to yesterday and put the boy in my arms to protect him.

    The people in the meeting room obviously noticed that the air pressure around Mr. Pei was getting lower and lower. The alpha sitting there was like an ice sculpture emitting cold air all around. Everyone was careful to breathe for fear that it would irritate Mr. Pei.

    Pei Shaoze suddenly said: "pay attention to this person''s action."

    He endured heartache and replayed the scene in slow motion again.

    At this time, Liu Xueyi also saw that it was not right: "the actions performed by this group deviated from those taught by the action director?"

    The action director looked back and nodded: "yes, the action I taught him at that time, he should wave a knife to the right side to cut Shen Kai, who is nearest to him. Then Cheng Xia will turn to block it. Then, this knife should hurt Cheng Xia''s arm."

    Pei Shaoze pauses the screen and marks an arc on the screen with his mouse: "he doesn''t wave his knife to the right side, but to the slant above. This is not to stab Shen Kai at all, but to scratch Cheng Xia''s face."

    People look at Pei Shaoze with the mouse to draw the path of wielding a knife - the final landing point of the blade, is indeed Cheng Xia''s face.

    The air at the scene seemed to be instantly removed, and the faces of the staff were more and more ugly.

    The most important thing for an actor is his face. Once the face is destroyed, Cheng Xia''s acting career will be over, not to mention playing the leading actor. It''s hard for actors with scars on their faces to get suitable roles, and they can''t have the confidence to go this way any more.

    Pei Shaoze clenches his fist tightly. He can''t imagine how sad he would be if Cheng Xia was scratched yesterday... The young man just walked on this road and tried so hard to play a good play. As a result, he was maliciously disfigured?! At the thought of this, Pei Shaoze would like to catch Zhou Peng, the culprit, and beat him hard!

    Fortunately, Cheng Xia has been fighting with people since childhood. He has rich experience in actual combat. From the pictures taken, he should have noticed something wrong at that time. He subconsciously blocked it with his arm. The knife didn''t stab him in the face. It deviated a few centimeters and stabbed him under the clavicle. It is also the key first gear that weakens the blade''s strength and does not cause serious injury.

    Liu Xueyi''s face was full of heartache. He couldn''t help but utter a rude sentence: "Damn it! Do you want to ruin Cheng Xia

    Pei Shaoze''s sharp eyes swept to the deputy director: "what''s the origin of Zhou Peng? Have you checked it?"

    When the deputy director realized the seriousness of the problem, his lips trembled: "I and I sent leaflets to find them nearby. All the five group performances were vocational school students. They didn''t go home during the holidays and earned some pocket money. Zhou Peng said that he didn''t know Cheng Xia at all..."

    "No? It''s a criminal case to hurt someone intentionally with a knife! " Pei Shaoze put the murder weapon on the table in a sealed bag. His eyes swept the whole room and said harshly, "I''ll give the evidence to the police. Inform all staff about Cheng Xia''s injury. Anyone who divulges a word to an outsider will get out of the cast immediately! "

    Alpha''s sharp voice made everyone at the scene jump.

    It''s the first time that we see Mr. Pei lose such a big temper. It seems that he is really angry this time.
