But for the victims, this is an undeserved misfortune.
For Xia Zhiyi, this was disgusting.
He couldn't find anyone to vent to.
That evening, after discussing the matter with Old Master Fu, Xia Zhiyi ultimately stayed to keep watch while Old Master Fu went back to rest, due to Xia Zhiyi's somewhat firm stance.
Xia Zhiyi was also straightforward. "We don't know when Fu Chi will wake up, and we can't just put our work on hold these next few days. At a time like this, only you can step in."
"So, you should go home and get some rest tonight to recharge. I'll take care of things at the hospital."
What could Old Master Fu say?
Xia Zhiyi's words made a lot of sense, and Old Master Fu was indeed getting on in years. If he were to stay and keep watch at night, he wouldn't be able to do much since he's an old man who doesn't even do housework at home.
It would be better to do as Xia Zhiyi and go back to rest first, since we still have to go to the company to deal with those shareholders tomorrow.
After all, Fu Chi's incident is a major event for those shareholders.
However, before leaving, Old Master Fu still arranged for a few more bodyguards to protect Xia Zhiyi inside and outside the ward, and told Xia Zhiyi not to push herself too hard that night and to get some rest.
Then Xia Zhiyi sent him away.
After Old Master Fu left, Xia Zhiyi didn't talk much with the bodyguards; he really wasn't in the mood for it.
He sat down beside Fu Chi's bed, staring at the sleeping beauty on the bed for a long time, his mind constantly recalling the events leading up to the incident.
Why did Fu Chi suddenly have an accident?
Assuming this is indeed a warning from the Power of the Plot, then working backward, why was the Power of the Plot silent before, and why did it suddenly start acting now?
Xia Zhiyi only needed to think for a moment to know where the problem lay.
Because before the incident, he did the only thing that might affect the plot.
On a whim, he discovered that Gu Miaomiao had found a part-time job as an extra with her classmates, and that the film crew had some connection with Huanyu. So he told Gu Miaomiao some things about Huanyu Entertainment.
The reason he did this was simply because he genuinely felt that even if the female lead successfully escaped from Huanyu later, she would still suffer a lot in that disgusting den Huanyu snakes. So, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to do a good deed and help her avoid it in advance.
After all, with Gu Miaomiao's talent, she's sure to stand out.
So why did they have to let that lousy place, Huanyu, find such a treasure?
Anyway, with him around, this Huanyu won't last much longer.
Before doing this, Xia Zhiyi really didn't think it would have much impact on the plot. Considering what he had done before, it would be a lie to say that it had no impact on the plot at all.
Song Zhen was completely destroyed by him. He did sense that the plot was trying to pull Xia Zhen back, but after he intervened, the so-called uncle was now too scared to show his face under Xia Zhiyi's manipulation.
That's all. Xia Zhiyi only had a few days of bad luck, but with his strength, luck didn't have much effect on him, and he continued with his life as usual.
Xia Zhiyi thought that this time he had only reminded Gu Miaomiao and hadn't directly taken any action. Even if the so-called Power of the Plot was unpleasant, it would only make him more unlucky, and it couldn't kill him.
Unexpectedly, this time it will target Fu Chi.
Is it fair that it didn't lay a hand on Xia Wanyi?
But upon closer reflection, it seems that it's not impossible to understand the other person's logic.
Although in Xia Zhiyi, if he really had to compare, his older sister Xia Wanyi would definitely be number one in his heart, and there was a huge gap between number one and number two.
His sister is his obsession; if it weren't for her, there would be no Xia Zhiyi today.
From the perspective of the plot, Xia Wanyi, as a female supporting character who is almost present throughout the entire main storyline, is naturally more important Fu Chi has the golden finger that can be killed off early. Therefore, when both of them are related to Xia Zhiyi, Fu Chi is the first to be targeted.
But on what grounds?
On what grounds?
Why should they be forced to follow the prescribed route?
Why should they be controlled by that vague and unrealistic plot, becoming people they can no longer recognize from their own memories?
Did it think that by warning him in this way, he would behave, back down, and allow it to steer the plot in what it considered the right direction?
Xia Zhiyi gave a cold laugh.
On the contrary.
This warning actually confirmed one thing for Xia Zhiyi —only when her weaknesses were truly exposed would she finally give in and resort to desperate measures.
Moreover, this also made Xia Zhiyi realize that it wasn't that the plot couldn't do anything to him before, but rather that his previous actions hadn't truly threatened its existence, which was why it was able to let him go so easily.
And now...
" Gu Miaomiao..." Xia Zhiyi murmured silently.
It seems that in this world, Fu Yunyi's role as the male lead is not absolute; the female lead, Gu Miaomiao, is the core.
So...
As if something unseen had sensed the dangerous thoughts in Xia Zhiyi's heart, a sudden gale arose outside the window, causing the sliding glass window to rattle and rattle, as if it might be blown off at any moment and smash into countless pieces on the clean floor inside.
Hearing the noise, Xia Zhiyi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, silently turned her head and watched as the bodyguard cautiously searched the room, found a few rolls of tape in the cabinet, and looked at Xia Zhiyi.
Xia Zhiyi nodded slightly. "Just in case, Tieba."
The bodyguards got busy, but Xia Zhiyi seemed oblivious to the strange, gusty wind outside, her gaze returning to the face of the person on the bed.
He watched quietly for a while, then suddenly reached out and gently grasped his wrist, feeling the still vibrant life force beneath his fingertips, and slowly exhaled.
Just then, a slight vibration was heard in the ward, and the bodyguard paused slightly.
Xia Zhiyi took her phone out of her pocket, glanced at it, and after seeing the caller ID, was somewhat surprised. "Hello?"
"Um, Comrade Xiao Xia..."
Xia Zhiyi: "Yes, it's me. Is there something you need?"
"Well, I actually wanted to contact you before, but I figured you probably wouldn't be available, so I waited until now." The head coach's voice also carried a hint of helplessness. "During the day, did you... fly directly from the Imperial Capital?"
Xia Zhiyi paused for a moment.
Xia Zhiyi began to recall.
Xia Zhiyi fell silent again.
"Hello? Comrade Xiao Xia, are you still listening?"
Xia Zhiyi finally realized how shrewd her previous actions had been. She cleared her throat and said somewhat apologetically to the head coach on the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry, there was an unexpected incident earlier. I was in a panic and didn't think much about it. Did I cause you any trouble?"
