Accidental Mark

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 40】

Qin Yu pushed the treatment trolley into the house, and came to Cheng Xia's bedside: "Shao Ze, I'll change Cheng Xia's dressing." Pei Shaoze immediately got up to get out of the way, and looked at Cheng Xia worriedly.

Cheng Xia looked up and smiled at Qin Yu, as if he was not embarrassed.

When Qin Yu met the young man's clear eyes, the more he looked at them, the more he found them pleasing to his eyes.He took out a sterilized cotton swab to sterilize Cheng Xia's wound, quickly put on clean gauze on his hands and feet, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, your wound is not deep, I used sutures specially used for dermatology for you , leaving no visible scars after recovery."

Cheng Xia didn't care about the question of "whether to leave a scar or not". The injury under the collarbone would not be visible even if she wore short sleeves in summer.However, the gentle attitude of Qin Yu, Doctor Beta, still made Cheng Xia feel a lot easier. He looked up at the other party, and said seriously: "Thank you, Doctor Qin, I will trouble you this time."

The well-behaved and sensible Omega is easy to make people feel good. Qin Yu's affection for Cheng Xia is gradually rising, and he even thinks that Cheng Xia is Pei Shaoze's good match. What about the influence?Sure enough, when meeting the right person, the dude can turn his back on his evil ways and turn his back on the prodigal son!

Pei Shaoze knew from Qin Yu's expression that he had misunderstood again.Pei Shaoze didn't intend to explain, it was almost two o'clock in the morning, after Qin Yu finished changing his medicine, he went to the bedside and said to Cheng Xia, "You were frightened today, get a good sleep first. I will take care of the aftermath. Rest at ease, don't think about it, you know?"

Cheng Xia obediently said "um", looked at Pei Shaoze and said, "Mr. Pei, you should go back and rest. It's already two o'clock. You must be very tired after catching the plane from Ya'an. Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

The young man's caring words warmed Pei Shaoze's heart. He stretched out his hand and gently helped Cheng Xia cover the quilt: "I'm leaving first. If you need anything, you can find Dr. Qin. He works night shift tonight."

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

Pei Shaoze turned off the lights and went out with Qin Yu.

Qin Yu patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Cheng Xia is very good, since you like him, please cherish him."

Pei Shaoze didn't answer directly: "Thank you, I owe you another favor."

"Growing up in open crotch pants, why are you being polite to me!" Qin Yu laughed, and continued, "By the way, Cheng Xia's injury is indeed not serious, you don't need to worry too much, go back to sleep."

"Well, I'll come see him tomorrow. I'll leave the hospital to you."

Pei Shaoze turned around and went downstairs. At the elevator entrance, he happened to meet Zhou Yan who was hurrying back. The two almost ran into each other. Zhou Yan's eyes widened, thinking that he was hallucinating: "Pei, Mr. Pei? Aren't you in Ya'an... "

"I changed the ticket and came back." Pei Shaoze frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened at that time?"

Zhou Yan was still in shock. Cheng Xia's wound had been treated. Doctor Qin said that the injury was not serious, so she felt relieved and went to the 24-hour convenience store to help Cheng Xia buy some daily necessities.

Facing Pei Shaoze's sharp gaze, Zhou Yan shuddered, quickly gathered his thoughts, and explained: "According to the original arrangement of this scene, Qin Nian will help Lu Fengyang block the knife, which is also the reason why the two of them have changed from strangers to strangers." The key opportunity for good buddies. The filming went smoothly at the beginning, when seven people were fighting, one of the extras accidentally injured Cheng Xia."

"Accidental injury?" Pei Shaoze's eyes were cold and sharp, "You guys have investigated for a long time, and concluded that it was accidental injury?"

"Uh...Director Liu found out the source of the knife. The knife was bought by the crew a few days ago for cutting fruit, because it was similar to the knife prepared by the props team. When the extras were holding the knife, they accidentally picked it up by mistake. That extra performer is a college student who didn't go home during the holidays and wanted to do odd jobs to earn some money, and he doesn't know Cheng Xia at all, so there shouldn't be any reason to intentionally hurt Cheng Xia, right?" Zhou Yan was very disturbed by what she said, especially when President Pei With sharp gazes, she felt like a criminal suspect being questioned by the police.

"Understood, I will go to the crew to confirm." Pei Shaoze didn't say much, looked at Zhou Yan, and whispered, "Take care of Cheng Xia, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again."

"Yes, Mr. Pei, I will definitely learn my lesson!" Zhou Yan promised hurriedly.

"Go ahead, thank you." Pei Shaoze nodded towards her, then turned and walked towards the parking lot in front of the hospital.

accidental injury?Pei Shaoze always felt that things were not that simple.

How could it be possible to confuse the knife the crew bought for cutting fruit with the knife the props crew prepared for filming?And it happened to be taken by the group performer by mistake?If all the staff members of the crew had such negligence, those actors who were filming martial arts scenes would 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 swiping his phone in the back seat. Seeing his brother getting into the car, he hurriedly asked worriedly, "Brother, is Cheng Xia okay?"

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

Pei Shaoyan heaved a sigh of relief: "I just used my mobile phone to scan all the entertainment news yesterday, and there was no website reporting this incident. It must have been concealed by the crew. So far, no media reporter knows that Cheng Xia was injured."

Pei Shaoze said coldly: "I asked Director Liu to keep it a secret. Once things get serious, those reporters and paparazzi rushing to the hospital will disturb Cheng Xia's rest. No matter what the outcome of this matter is, it's best to deal with it in secret." He said to the driver in the front row: "Uncle Zhong, go to No. [-] 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 did not ask any questions that should not be asked.Hearing this, he replied, "Okay, Mr. Pei."

Pei Shaoyan was stunned: "Brother, go to No. [-] Middle School? You won't sleep tonight?"

Pei Shaoze's face was cold: "Director Liu checked for a long time and said it was an accidental injury. I don't believe it, I want to go and see for myself."

The Seventeenth Middle School is not too far from the Binjiang Private Hospital, not to mention that there were not many cars on the street in the early morning, so Uncle Zhong drove the car to the highest speed and arrived within 10 minutes.

It was [-]:[-] in the morning when the two brothers got off the car and walked into the school.

The lights in the school were brightly lit. Obviously, when this happened during filming at night, no one dared to sleep.Especially Liu Xueyi, after receiving a call from Mr. Pei, he was restless and had been waiting for Mr. Pei to come back.

Pei Shaoyan followed his brother, muttering in a low voice: "Why would someone bring a real knife into the filming set? Brother, don't you think this is not a simple matter? Does Cheng Xia have any enemies?"

Pei Shaoze frowned and thought, and after a while he said: "Let's talk at the scene."

When the two came to the set, director Liu, screenwriter Xu, the author, and props, lighting, photography and other staff had not yet dispersed. The scene remained as it was, and several extras looked terrified. Liu Xueyi hurried forward when he saw Pei Shaoze Lai: "Boss Pei, I'm really sorry, something like this happened to the crew, and you were asked to come back overnight."

Pei Shaoze glanced at several extras: "Who stabbed Cheng Xia?"

Liu Xueyi pointed to the red-haired young man squatting there smoking a cigarette, Pei Shaoze looked over, the young man met Alpha's sharp gaze, his spine felt a chill, he waved his hands hurriedly and said: "It's none of my business, the knife is given to me by the props team Yes! There was no problem during the rehearsal in the afternoon, how did I know that it turned out to be a real knife during the official filming!"

Pei Shaoze asked lightly: "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 archived?"

Liu Xueyi nodded: "Yes, Mr. Pei, do you want to see it yourself?"

"Well, go to the next meeting room and show me the big screen." Pei Shaoze glanced at the extras, "I will find out about this matter. If it is really our prop team's mistake, I will give you spiritual compensation. Please A few wait a moment."

Director Liu took the staff and Mr. Pei to the meeting room commonly used by the crew, and connected the camera 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 everyone present, the entire conference room was silent, and the projection screen began to play the scene of the group scene shot at night.

In the picture, Cheng Xia and Shen Kai are back to back, teaming up to deal with the five gangsters around them. Cheng Xia's fighting scene is neat and handsome. He sweeps the gangster next to him to the ground, and then turns around to block the person on the side. Shen Kai also cooperated very well with the attack, and the scene was filmed smoothly.

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.

Since the script required a close-up of the knife, this scene happened to be captured by the No. 2 camera.

Pei Shaoze pressed pause, zoomed in on the screen, and fixed on the knife, he asked in a deep voice, "props group, does this knife look the same as the props you made?"

The head of the props group said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Pei, because the gangsters in this scene use fruit knives, so we refer to the shape of fruit knives for the props we made, try to make them as similar as possible, so that the audience will look better won't play..."

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

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

Everyone at the scene gasped in fright——

However, when the sharp knife touched the back of his hand, it retracted automatically, and the back of his hand was not damaged at all.Pei Shaoze threw the prop knife on the table with a "snap", raised his eyebrows and asked, "I can tell which one is the real one, but you guys who specialize in making props can't tell the difference between the real one and the fake one?"

The head of the props team shook his back, and hurriedly explained in a trembling voice: "Before filming at night, I did check the props, and there was nothing wrong with the knife. After checking, I put the props where the extras could get them..."

Pei Shaoze said coldly: "Since you're sure you checked it, someone must have replaced the knife before filming."

As soon as this was said, everyone on the scene took a deep breath - the staff made a mistake and made a mistake with the knife, and someone deliberately changed the knife, this is not the same concept at all!Change the knife, it's murder!

This matter is too serious.

Liu Xueyi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.Pei Shaoze continued to play the video, playing back the scene where Cheng Xia was injured in slow motion.

On the screen, someone stabbed Cheng Xia with a knife. A large amount of blood poured out of Cheng Xia's chest. The glaring blood soon stained his white sweater red. Cheng Xia's eyes widened slightly. Pressing his chest, the severe pain distorted his entire face, his eyes were full of panic, and his face was frighteningly pale...

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Pei Shaoze felt a slight pain in his heart, as if someone had cut his nerves with a knife.

He was really distressed.I wish I could go back to yesterday and pull the boy into my arms to protect him well.

The people in the conference room clearly noticed that the air pressure around Mr. Pei was getting lower and lower. Alpha sitting there was like an ice sculpture emitting cold air all around. Everyone even breathed carefully, for fear of angering Mr. Pei.

Pei Shaoze suddenly said: "Pay attention to this person's movements."

Enduring his distress, he replayed the scene just now in slow motion.

Liu Xueyi also saw something wrong at this time: "The actions of this group of performers deviate from the actions taught by the action director, right?"

The action director came back to his senses and nodded hastily: "Yes, the action I taught at that time, he should swing the knife to the right to slash Shen Kai who is closest to him, then Cheng Xia will turn sideways to block, and then the knife should hurt Cheng Xia's arm is right."

Pei Shaoze paused the screen, and marked an arc on the screen with the mouse: "He didn't swing the knife to the right, but swung the knife upwards. This was not to stab Shen Kai at all, but to cross out Cheng Xia's Face."

Everyone looked at the trajectory of the knife that Pei Shaoze drew with the mouse—the final landing point of the blade was indeed Cheng Xia's face.

The air at the scene seemed to be pulled away in an instant, and the faces of the staff became uglier and uglier.

The most important thing for an actor is his face.Once the face is destroyed, then Cheng Xia's future acting career will be over, not to mention playing the male lead, it will be difficult for an actor with a scar on his face to get a suitable role, and it is impossible to have the confidence to take this path again.

Pei Shaoze clenched his fists tightly, he couldn't imagine, what if Cheng Xia accidentally got his face scratched yesterday... The young boy just started on this road, and he tried so hard to act well, but he was caught by someone Maliciously disfigured, how sad and sad should he be? !Thinking of this, Pei Shaoze wished to catch Zhou Peng, the culprit, and beat him up!

Fortunately, Cheng Xia has been fighting with people since he was a child, and he has very rich experience in actual combat. Judging from the captured pictures, he should have sensed something was wrong at the time, and subconsciously blocked it with his arm. The knife missed his face. below the collarbone.It was also this critical first block that weakened the strength of the blade without causing serious injuries.

Liu Xueyi's face was full of distress, and he couldn't help but swear: "Fuck! Are you trying to ruin Cheng Xia?"

Pei Shaoze glanced sharply at the assistant director: "Have you checked the origin of this Zhou Peng?"

The assistant director realized the seriousness of the problem, and his lips were trembling: "I, I found them by handing out leaflets nearby. The five extra performers are all vocational school students. They didn't go home during the holidays, so they can earn some pocket money. Zhou Peng said he I don't know Cheng Xia at all..."

"I don't know? Intentionally wounding someone with a knife, this is a criminal case!" Pei Shaoze kept the murder weapon on the table in a sealed bag, swept his eyes across the audience, and said sharply, "I will hand over the evidence to the police. Inform everyone involved Personnel, whoever leaks a word about Cheng Xia's injury to outsiders, get out of the set immediately!!"

Alpha's stern voice made everyone's hearts jump.

This is the first time everyone has seen Mr. Pei lose such a temper. It seems that he is really angry this time.
