Acid Thrown at Jiang Fang in Public, Qin Yan Injured

The camera flashes dazzled him. For an instant, Jiang Fang could not see anything. A buzzing crowd surrounded him as people kept squeezing toward him, completely unconcerned about his reaction.

They only wanted traffic and sales. They did not care about how the interviewee felt.

As for interview topics, it did not matter whether they were ridiculous or whether the reporters themselves understood them. As long as they could draw attention and generate buzz online, that counted as success.

Jiang Fang raised a hand to shield his eyes. All he could see were dark shadows, while the voices in his ears sounded like the mutterings of monsters.

It felt as though he had fallen into boundless darkness.

Then, someone grabbed his hand.

The hand was warm, radiating vitality.

Like a beam of light shining into an abyss, it pulled Jiang Fang out.

"Are you okay?" Qin Yan was breathing slightly hard. He shot a cold glare at the reporters still thrusting their cameras forward. The assistant who arrived afterward called people over to block the reporters, while Qin Yan pulled Jiang Fang behind him and asked anxiously.

Jiang Fang shook his head and lowered it, waiting for his vision to recover.

Qin Yan noticed that something was wrong and cupped his cheeks in both hands.

"What happened to your eyes?"

His eyes, irritated by the flashes, involuntarily brimmed with tears. The rims were slightly red, making him look pitifully endearing.

"I'm fine. Just let me recover for a moment."

Jiang Fang had no idea what he looked like right now. His face still wore a calm expression, like an aggrieved kitten pretending to be strong, making people want to cuddle and pet him desperately.

Without the continued assault of flashes, the overlapping shadows before him gradually came into focus, and Qin Yan's face appeared before his eyes.

Jiang Fang was startled and instinctively stepped back.

Too close.

Qin Yan froze for a moment, then seemed to realize something. He turned his head away, the tips of his ears reddening slightly.

"Ahem, sorry."

Jiang Fang shook his head. "It's fine."

Jiang Fang looked at him, then suddenly caught sight of a furtive woman approaching from the corner of his eye. She appeared to be carrying something in her arms.

Before he knew it, the woman had pulled a bottle from her clothes, twisted it open, and flung its contents at them.

Every part of Jiang Fang screamed danger. The hairs all over his body stood on end.

"Watch out!"

In that split second, he moved with incredible speed, yanking Qin Yan into his arms and shielding him completely.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle— As the ground hissed, a pungent smell spread through the air.

"Mn—"

Qin Yan had not yet understood what had happened, but the moment he smelled it, his heart sank. Then he heard Jiang Fang's muffled groan.

He reacted instantly.

"Jiang Fang!"

Scorching heat and pain swept through Jiang Fang's senses in an instant.

Seeing the reaction on the ground and smelling the air, Jiang Fang and Qin Yan both understood immediately.

Sulfuric acid.

Concentrated sulfuric acid.

"Water."

"Water!"

They blurted it out at the same time.

Fortunately, Jiang Fang was already at the entrance to his home. A gardener in the residential complex was watering the garden, which was at least some small blessing amid the misfortune.

Jiang Fang was drenched in cold sweat. Taking a deep breath, he removed his hoodie with Qin Yan's help.

He had been lucky. He had dressed heavily to avoid the reporters; the thick hoodie even had a hood. Most of the sulfuric acid had splashed onto the clothes, where it hissed as it burned through the fabric. Only a few drops had landed on Jiang Fang's skin when he raised his arm, instantly turning it white.

After soaking up the excess acid on his hand with clean clothes, Jiang Fang and Qin Yan had not even reached the hose used for watering flowers when they saw the gardener running toward them with it.

"Xiao Jiang, here's the water!" Uncle Zhao was the full-time gardener of the complex. He did not speak with Jiang Fang often, but Jiang Fang would greet him whenever they ran into each other. Over time, they had become fairly close.

The moment he saw Jiang Fang was hurt, he rushed over to help.

Without another word, Qin Yan took the hose. There was no residual acid left on Jiang Fang's hand, so he began rinsing it.

They had reacted quickly enough, but it had still taken a full thirty seconds to get to the rinsing stage. The places touched by the acid had already changed from white to scorched yellow, with some areas even turning black.

The cool water immediately eased the burning pain in his skin.

Jiang Fang's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.

"Are you hurt anywhere else?" Qin Yan held the hose as he questioned Jiang Fang, his gaze fixed on every other part of Jiang Fang's body, terrified that he might have missed an injury.

This was no small matter. It was sulfuric acid.

Jiang Fang shook his head. "Don't worry. I'm not hurt anywhere else."

Qin Yan let out a breath and looked at Uncle Zhao.

"Uncle, could you call 120?"

Uncle Zhao came to his senses and nodded quickly. "Right, right, right! How could I forget? I'll call right away."

Everything had happened too suddenly. The assistant was still holding back the reporters, but once they realized Qin Yan had arrived, they became even more excited. Even if the assistant blocked their view, their cameras had to capture the scene.

After the incident, everyone froze.

The assistant had his back to Qin Yan and Jiang Fang. Sensing that something was wrong, he turned around and saw the wreckage on the ground. It was still smoking and hissing. Jiang Fang's black hoodie lay on the ground, while the woman who had thrown the acid had vanished.

He no longer had time to deal with the reporters and hurried over.

"Brother Qin! Are you two okay?"

As soon as he spoke, he saw the injury on Jiang Fang's hand and froze in place.

"Call the police right now. Someone threw concentrated sulfuric acid, and someone was injured at the scene." Qin Yan's face was dark, and he was suppressing his fury.

As Qin Yan's assistant, he naturally understood the actor well enough to know that he was truly angry. He immediately sprang into action.

Just then, a group of reporters gathered behind them as well.

Qin Yan's gaze darkened as he looked over. The lead reporter froze and did not dare take another step forward.

Just as they looked at one another, unsure whether to leave, Qin Yan suddenly spoke.

"Who recorded the entire incident?"

The reporters at the scene immediately fell silent like quails.

"I'll say it again. Whoever recorded the entire incident, bring it out. Hand it to the police later, and you can leave." There were surveillance cameras here too, but the reporters' recordings would clearly be more detailed and make it easier to find the culprit.

They would pursue both leads.

He was going to find that person, no matter what.

Several more minutes passed before the ambulance finally arrived.

Because they had explained the situation clearly, the emergency responders had prepared the necessary medicine. After rinsing the remaining sulfuric acid from his skin, Qin Yan followed Jiang Fang into the ambulance while the assistant handled everything afterward.

Inside the ambulance, the young nurse looked at the two of them in surprise. But when she saw Jiang Fang's wound, the delight in her eyes abruptly vanished.

Against his originally fair, smooth wrist, a brown scar—so dark it was nearly black—stood out starkly, painful to look at.

"It'll hurt a little. Bear with it."

The nurse took Jiang Fang's hand and poured the prepared sodium bicarbonate solution over it to rinse it.

Jiang Fang sucked in a sharp breath, his face covered in cold sweat.

Qin Yan sat beside him, holding his other hand, wishing he could take the pain in his place.

And when he thought about how Jiang Fang had been hurt because of him, he felt even worse.

Seeing him lower his head without speaking, Jiang Fang instantly understood what he was thinking. "It's not your fault. She was coming for me in the first place."

When the woman had run over, Jiang Fang had noticed that her clothes bore a person's image and name—Bai Ziyu.

"If I'm not wrong, she should be a Bai Ziyu fan."

He had not expected fans nowadays to be this extreme.

The young nurse paused at his words, then resumed with even gentler movements.

For a while, the atmosphere was somewhat stifled.

After rinsing the wound, the nurse soaked it in a 0.01% baking soda solution.

"Luckily, you handled it in time. The sulfuric acid probably didn't penetrate too deeply, but the wound will most likely leave a scar in the future." After all, the surface of his skin had already been charred. "I saw the scene just now. It was terrifying. You were really lucky today. An entire bottle of sulfuric acid was thrown, and only this small area was injured."

It would have been better if she had not mentioned it. Once she did, Qin Yan's expression darkened further.

Although Jiang Fang had told him not to blame himself, thinking about how he had been protected by a teenager who had only just graduated from high school made him feel even worse. He should have been the one protecting Jiang Fang.

"At least it didn't hit your face, or that would've been a shame for such a handsome guy," the nurse teased.

Jiang Fang gently patted Qin Yan's hand. "I'm really fine."

"And with how you're dressed, with your arms and neck exposed, if it had gotten on you, it definitely would've been worse than what I have now."

The nurse looked Qin Yan over and nodded in complete agreement.

Qin Yan's shirt was thin, with the sleeves rolled up and his neck exposed. He only wore sunglasses and a mask on his face. Looking at the large scorched patch on Jiang Fang's hoodie, if Qin Yan had faced the concentrated sulfuric acid directly, he would probably have been carried into the hospital today.

While Jiang Fang and Qin Yan were heading to the hospital, the police also arrived at the scene and sealed it off. After handing their videos to the police, the reporters hurried back to prepare the first news reports.

Jiang Fang and Qin Yan Had Concentrated Sulfuric Acid Thrown on Them in Public!

This was huge news.

Combined with the ongoing buzz around Bai Ziyu's murder case, the news was bound to stir up heated discussion. Not to mention there was an award-winning actor involved—whoever published it first would see their traffic explode!

Thus, a news item rapidly began appearing all over the internet.

#Jiang Fang and Qin Yan Had Concentrated Sulfuric Acid Thrown on Them in Public#

Everyone's first reaction upon seeing it was shock.

Then they thought it could not possibly be real.

Until they clicked in.

Of course, more than one reporter had captured the full video. Those recordings were their livelihood. As a result, the videos that spread online were not only clear but shot from multiple angles, further proving that the incident was real.

At the start of the video, Jiang Fang was surrounded by reporters asking idiotic questions. Then the camera flashes left him unable to open his eyes. Qin Yan was nowhere to be seen at that point, so everyone thought the paparazzi accounts had fabricated the story. Then, in the next second, Qin Yan suddenly appeared.

He shot the camera a cold glare, looking unbelievably cool.

Then, the atmosphere around Qin Yan suddenly softened, and the assistant pushed the camera farther away.

If it had ended there, it would have been the perfect ship-fuel video.

But halfway through the video, the mood gradually led netizens in a different direction.

Just then, a furtive woman suddenly appeared at the very edge of the frame, facing Jiang Fang with her back to Qin Yan.

Acid thrown on them?!

Everyone thought of the trending topic's headline.

A sense of dread rose in their hearts.

In the next second, they saw the woman reach into her clothes for something.

[Holy shit, holy shit! What is this crazy woman doing?! Stop her!]

[Jiang Fang! Qin Yan! Look behind you! Turn around!]

[I can't keep watching. Was it really sulfuric acid? Is Fangfang okay? Is Brother Qin okay?!]

No matter how desperately the comment section hoped otherwise, the video kept playing.

The woman swiftly pulled out a bottle, twisted it open, and flung its contents at Jiang Fang and Qin Yan.

Some people could not bear it and immediately paused the video, too afraid to continue. Others endured their discomfort and fear to keep watching, wanting to know what had happened.

They all understood that if it had truly hit Qin Yan, with only that thin shirt on him, he would likely have been seriously hurt.

It was concentrated sulfuric acid!

Just as Qin Yan's fans were heartbroken and Jiang Fang's fans were worried, Jiang Fang in the video seemed to notice!

In the blink of an eye, their positions switched. The sulfuric acid poured from the bottle, with more than half splashing onto the ground and more than half landing on Jiang Fang's back.

The award-winning actor's fans:!!!

Jiang Fang's new fans:!!!

Passersby: Holy shit!!!
