CHAPTER 778: CHAPTER 428: _2

"Then let’s not settle this privately."

Huo Yanshu looked coldly at the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man thought Huo Yanshu was just trying to intimidate him, "Then three million, a little less?"

Huo Yanshu shook his head.

Today he looked at the middle-aged woman who had been hit by the car. Although she was bleeding a lot, he could tell it was just a superficial wound.

Therefore, it was obvious that the middle-aged man thought they had money and wanted to extort a sum from them.

The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised.

"Then one million."

When he said this price, he gritted his teeth.

"Our family is not well off, and all subsequent expenses for my wife need to be borne by me."

Seeing that Huo Yanshu wasn’t moved, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and started to act pitiful.

Huo Yanshu listened to him, lifted his eyes, and gave him a faint glance.

Seeing some response, the middle-aged man hurriedly said, "One million, and you won’t have to pay for any subsequent costs, and I won’t take this matter to the police station either."

Huo Yanshu said, "Two hundred thousand. Any subsequent incidents and medical expenses will be covered by us."

Clearly, the middle-aged man was not satisfied with this price.

But no matter what he said, Huo Yanshu wouldn’t relent.

Helpless, the middle-aged man could only agree to the price.

After solving the matter, Huo Yanshu looked at Wenming, "Alright, it’s settled now, you don’t have to worry anymore."

Wenming raised her eyes to look at him, "Yanshu, I have nowhere to go now, I’m so afraid..."

Huo Yanshu’s eyes darkened slightly.

"Then."

Wenming moved a little closer to him and said in a coquettish voice, "Yanshu, can I stay at your place for the night? I’m really scared."

Huo Yanshu never claimed to be a gentleman.

Besides, he had initially liked Wenming.

So naturally, he wouldn’t refuse Wenming’s request.

He looked at Wenming, his voice extraordinarily calm, "Alright."

When Jiang Bei arrived, only a pool of blood was left on the scene.

He called Rong Qingze, but Rong Qingze wasn’t surprised.

Rong Qingze knew that if things didn’t work out on his side, then Wenming would definitely make a move on someone else.

And who that person was, the answer was self-evident.

Huo Yanshu initially liked Wenming.

And Wenming also liked Huo Yanshu.

Thinking of this, Rong Qingze said to Jiang Bei, "Then you head back first, there’s no need to bother about this."

Rong Qingze only guessed that Wenming went to find Huo Yanshu.

To prevent anything bad from happening, he specifically made a call to Huo Yanshu.

"Is Wenming with you?"

Huo Yanshu’s voice was indifferent, "Yes."

With just one word, both of them tacitly understood what it meant.

Rong Qingze hung up the call.

During all his calls, he turned up the volume very high, so Rong Yanqiao, who was beside him, also understood the whole development.

How could Rong Yanqiao not understand what the word "yes" meant?

Rong Qingze instinctively wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but seeing Rong Yanqiao’s indifferent demeanor, he swallowed his words.

"Second Uncle, since there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to sleep."

Seeing this matter was settled, Rong Yanqiao felt a bit sleepy. Staying here would only mean she and Rong Qingze would just stare at each other blankly.

So, she suggested going back to rest.

Rong Qingze didn’t refuse either.

He had many things to handle, especially since someone had already informed him of everything that happened on set in the afternoon.

Rong Qingze needed to handle this properly; he didn’t want this matter to carry over to tomorrow and bring Rong Yanqiao a bad mood.

Watching Rong Yanqiao return to her room, he made a call to today’s director.

The director wasn’t a fool. Even if he liked Yan Lu, facing Rong Qingze, he couldn’t ignore the consequences.

Moreover, the offer from Rong Qingze was particularly enticing.

So, when Rong Yanqiao returned to the crew the next day, she found that the role Yan Lu played yesterday had been replaced.

This time, she was acting with a young person she had worked with before and had a good impression of.

During lunch, someone outside suddenly exclaimed.

"Wow, who sent this food?"

Fans sending gifts to the crew was a common occurrence.

And no one here would be surprised by ordinary gifts from fans.

This exclamation made many people in the crew poke their heads out.

"What is it? What’s this?"

Rong Yanqiao sat in her spot and didn’t bother to look at the commotion.
