Jiang Yu waited nervously for several days, and Qin Shen didn’t come to question him again. He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lin Cheng’s idea worked.

Lin Cheng’s idea was that he would quietly take an item from Qin Shen, and then put down a pearl when Jiang Yu was working. So when Qin Shen checked, Jiang Yu had evidence that he was working. Then Qin Shen’s suspicion of Jiang Yu could be dispelled.

After inquiring around for 2 days, Lin Cheng knew that Qin Shen would go to an auction, and he followed him. He was lucky that Qin Shen had forgotten the lighter and cigarettes on the windowsill. He quietly took the lighter and left Jiang Yu’s pearl.

Lin Cheng gave Qin Shen’s lighter to Jiang Yu and advised him, “Yu Er, you have to be cautious in doing this later. If he doubts you again, it won’t be easy to dispel his doubts.”

In fact, if he simply took away the small items around Qin Shen, Qin Shen might not find something wrong so soon, but Yu Er left pearls every time, which made it hard for people not to care. However, he knew that Yu Er did not want to take other people’s things without returning anything. Although Yu Er’s child was also Qin Shen’s, Qin Shen was still someone else’s.

“I will.” Jiang Yu nodded, feeling a bit guilty. He would be more careful when doing such things in the future, he would no longer do troublesome processes, and no one would get any evidence.

After the film crew’s filming in the film and television city, they had to go to the next shooting location. The location of the shooting had been found, which was not far from the city.

However, the location was remote and there were no hotels nearby. The crew rented a few yards in the nearby village for a group of people and invited a few cooking aunts.

Just a few days after Jiang Yu arrived at the location, his body was a little bit awkward, he had a low fever, and he was a bit weak.

After returning to the courtyard where he would live temporarily, Jiang Yu laid on the bed. Xiao Fang touched his forehead, and asked distressingly, “What do you want to eat? I’ll ask the aunt to cook it.”

Jiang Yu’s appetite was not very good, and the crew’s food was not much.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, and said, “I want to eat fish.”

Xiao Fang got up and went to the kitchen. There was a fish in the kitchen, but that was left to Qiao Mo. Xiao Fang went to find the producer, and the crew usually liked Jiang Yu very much. Hearing that he was sick and wanted to eat fish, the producer didn’t hesitate to ask the aunt to cook it for Jiang Yu.

Qiao Mo returned from work, and the staff delivered dinner. When he saw that it was not fish soup but winter melon pork rib soup, his face was not very good.

His assistant called the staff member, “Why not fish soup today?”

Qiao Mo’s stomach was not very good, he drank soup every day to nourish his stomach. When he was filming, he never ate the box lunch of the crew, and his assistant would go out to buy soup for him. However, they were now at a remote place, they couldn’t go buy food. The crew specifically explained to the aunt who cooked meals to  make a soup at each meal.

The aunt who specially cooks for their yard, and the man who went to catch some fish back in the mountains and rivers. The fish in the mountains was more delicious than in the city. Qiao Mo drank the stewed fish soup and liked it very much. Even the director asked the aunt to stew fish soup every day specially for Qiao Mo.

Obviously there was a fish left in the kitchen yesterday, how could there be no fish soup today.

The staff member explained, “Producer Lin told the aunt to make the fish soup for Xiao Jiang.”

It was given to Jiang Yu? Qiao Mo frowned. The producer knocked on the door and came in, he smiled at him, “Xiao Qiao is back, I have something to tell you.”

Producer Lin was part of the production team. He was thirty years old. He was a bit fat and had a kind smile. He said, “There was only one fish left in the kitchen. Xiao Jiang is sick and wants to drink fish soup, so I asked the aunt to cook him the fish. I already told the aunt that her man will go to the river tomorrow to catch a few fish. Just drink a bowl of melon ribs soup for today.”

Qiao Mo did not say anything, and his assistant muttered out loud, “Qiao Ge{n1} does not like to drink melon ribs soup.”

Note1: Qiao Ge, Ge is brother. It’s like saying brother Qiao but not blood related.

The producer quickly replied, “Oh, I didn’t know about this, Xiao Qiao, what soup do you like to drink, I will let the aunt cook it now.”

“No need.” Qiao Mo smiled, and said, “It’s too late now, so I won’t bother you. I don’t like winter melon pork rib soup, but I still can drink it.”

Seeing Qiao Mo refusing, the producer smiled and praised Qiao Mo, “Qiao Mo is really gentle than most artists I’ve seen. No wonder you are so popular now. In the future you will definitely become more popular.”

Qiao Mo smiled warmly. After the producer left, there were only Qiao Mo and his assistant left in the room. His smile disappeared immediately and he glanced disgustedly at the bowl and coldly told his assistant, “Throw it to the trash.”

Early in the morning, Jiang Yu’s fever has worsened. Xiao Fang asked for a leave from Lin Zhen and drove Jiang Yu to the hospital.

It was raining, Jiang Yu curled up in the back seat wearing a large coat. He put one hand on his lower abdomen, one hand in his jacket pocket, and held the lighter inside tightly.

He was not sick, but the eggs in his stomach were restless. The items secretly stolen from Qin Shen, although contaminated by his aura, could not last long. The previous handkerchiefs and ties were useless, except for this lighter. However, the lighter was too small and did not get too much of his aura. Thus the agitation of the eggs was stronger than before, which could not be relieved at all.

It took almost two hours from the village to the hospital in the city. Jiang Yu knew that it was useless to see a doctor, and while Xiao Fang was talking with the doctor, he quietly wanted to slip out of the hospital. He sent a message to Lin Cheng last night before he was on his way to the hospital. Lin Cheng returned the news saying that he was already on the plane that would come over.

It was still raining outside, although it was not big, but the temperature had dropped in the past few days, and the rain was still very cold. Jiang Yu pulled the zipper of the big coat and put on the hood. As soon as he was about to rush into the rain, he heard the sound of a car brake from, and a man screamed, “How did you walk without eyes?!”

Jiang Yu looked at the source of sound, and saw that a car almost hit an old man, and an old man had fallen to the floor with his umbrella on the ground.

After the car owner scolded the old man, he drove away. Jiang Yu listened to a few people around him and said, “Aren’t we not allowed to drive on the hospital grounds?”

“That’s to prevent ordinary people from coming in. Just look at the car and the license plate number. It’s not just ordinary people.”

No one helped the old man. Jiang Yu walked towards the old man, picked up his umbrella, and helped the old man. He asked, “Grandpa{n2}, are you okay?”

Note2: Not blood related

The old man was staring at the direction the car was leaving. Hearing Jiang Yu’s question, he shook his head.

Seeing that the old man was wet with rain, Jiang Yu said, “Grandpa, where is your family? I’ll take you to them.”

Listening to the instructions of the old man, Jiang Yu helped him all the way to a very quiet building behind the hospital. After entering, several doctors came out anxiously, “Mr. Qin, why did you go out without saying a word?”

“Grandpa, I’m leaving.” Jiang Yu was very uncomfortable. When he saw the old man back, he turned around. Just go.

His body was hot, and his head was a little dizzy. He couldn’t lift up his legs. When he walked a few steps, his legs were soft. When he was about to fall down, he saw a pair of legs suddenly appear, and he fell into the arms of someone.
