Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Lu Wen is running wild searching for a specific individual. He seems certain that we know where the poison master’s daughter is. She is in deep danger,” Wen Yu scowled and said in an ominous tone.

“Lu Wen?” When Sirius heard the name of the lunatic, he was no longer smiling.

“He’s unhinged. You don’t have to tell me anything, but you should probably let Lu Zhao know.” Wen Yu had her own intelligence network, so she was aware of Lu Wen’s movements. “I’m serious. Only Lu Zhao can keep her safe.”

“I know. I’ll think about it.” He did not respond to her right away.

After hesitating for a while, Sirius decided to go to Luo Ying.

After all, Luo Ying never even revealed herself to them. It already provided a layer of security.

His message to her was simple. [Lu Wen has been looking for the daughter of the poison master.]

That afternoon, Lu Zhao’s plane touched down. He had just left the airport when he suddenly received a call from Sirius.

“Lu Zhao, Lu Wen has been going on a rampage. He knows that we’re here.”

“I know,” Lu Zhao replied in a calm voice.

“He seems to have a clue about the daughter of the poison master. Should we do something?” Sirius continued to ask.

“Don’t worry, let him check.” Back then, when Lu Wen discovered that he had been cured, Lu Zhao had already expected this day to come.

He reduced the pressure off Lu Wen’s projects so that he could remain occupied with his matters. He was not as confident in holding back a man who had nothing else to lose.

Sirius finally heaved a sigh of relief. Their long history together as friends made him realize that Lu Zhao had undoubtedly set a trap for Lu Wen to fall into. Maybe he had intentionally let the hints slip.

After the call ended, however, his anxiety remained unabated. After some thought, he made a few more calls.

However, he did not expect Lu Zhao to catch wind of his movements. Sirius had sent people to protect Luo Ying.

After all their past experiences, Lu Zhao had increased the number of people around Luo Ying, so he was naturally alerted about this.

Lu Zhao was puzzled. Why did Sirius suddenly send people to protect Luo Ying?

Lu Zhao thought back about the call.

At the same time, on the set, there was a flurry of actions.

“Someone is coming!” Luo Ying hissed urgently.

“Let’s move!” Xie Yun pulled her up with one hand and grabbed her luggage with the other. The two of them immediately ran.

“Be careful!” Luo Ying rapidly made a turn and grabbed a nearby tree.

“Alright, cut!” Su Li looked into the camera. “Looks good. Let’s take a break first.

There was a dramatic chase here. The protagonist couple started out investigating corruption signs covertly. They were on the run after being discovered by accident by corrupt officials who had sent assassins to kill them.

The day-long shoot for this escape sequence included numerous action setpieces. The crew’s overall fatigue was palpable.

“Sister Ying, are you alright?” When the director yelled “cut,” Xie Yun walked over to examine Luo Ying’s hand.

They were both running through the thick forest during the chase scene. In one scene, Luo Ying clung to a tree trunk and slid down to avoid an arrow.

He had noticed that the tree had not been treated by the props team. Luo Ying’s palm might get scratched on the various barbs and rough patterns on it, and he was concerned about that.

Luo Ying was prepared for this. Her palm had hurt a little when she held the tree’s trunk. However, her expression and movements had to be spot-on for the entire scene to be captured in a single take.

When she looked down at her palm, she saw that it was indeed covered in a mash of red marks and dirt.

“It’s fine. It’s just a small scratch.” Luo Ying cracked a wide grin. “It’ll be fine in two days.”

“Oh dear!” Wang Yu frowned. “Let’s rinse it down first. The first aid kit is at the hotel. I’ll get Zhang Yue to fetch it.”

“I brought medicine. Use mine.” Xie Yun jogged over to the set.

Her palm stung a little. It was nothing new to Luo Ying. She had taken her share of falls in her long and illustrious career.

Wang Yu quickly retrieved some clean water and flushed the wound on Luo Ying. Xie Yun also returned.

“Thank you so much.” Luo Ying looked at Xie Yun, who was applying iodine onto her wound. “There’s no need to be so gentle. I’m not made of glass.”

Xie Yun was a little sheepish. “You don’t have to force yourself, Sister Ying.” His actions still remained very gentle. It was small but deceptively deep, like a paper cut. He knew that Luo Ying was probably comforting him by saying that it did not hurt.

Luo Ying shook her head helplessly..
