?Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Beating People in the Hospital   Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Beating People in the Hospital                                   In the blink of an eye, only He Xing and Xia Ning were left in the corridor. Xia Ning lifted her head and looked cautiously at He Xing, “Brother He Xing, did I say something wrong? But Qin Xiaonian really likes Luo Qinghe, she even asked him for an autograph; and… and didn’t Lady Bai Wei’s agent dispel the rumors of their affairst night?”


    He Xing felt as if there was a tangled mess in his heart. He had a feeling that something was off about today’s events, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what the problem was.


    Feeling unusually irritable and somewhat impatient, he said, “Right now is a critical time for the movie release. If you don’t have anything important to say, don’t talk about these jumbled matters. It’s bad for the movie.”


    Xia Ning immediately put on an obedient girl’s expression and made a zip-the-lip gesture, “Okay, Brother He Xing, if you’re unhappy, I won’t talk anymore. Will you please not be mad at me?”


    “Fine, I’m not angry. It’ste; you should go back early.” He Xing answered with forced patience, but even before his words hadpletelynded, he had already turned and left directly.


    Xia Ning watched his retreating figure, her smile growing deeper and deeper. There was none of the earlier meek and obedient girl to be seen; in fact, if an ordinary person saw the smile on her face at that moment, they might feel a chill down their spine.


    Unfortunately, He Xing had left with the greatest speed, carrying hisptop and relevant materials, without ever looking back.


    It was still his Lamborghini, but this time the driver was Liang Tao, while He Xing sat in the back seat. Theputer rested on hisp, his hands flying over the keyboard at a rapid pace.


    Liang Tao nced at He Xing through the rear-view mirror and said softly, “President He, the lodging for Lady Bai Wei’s parents has been arranged. It’s at the top-tier apartment hotel owned by the He Group.”


    “Mm.” He Xing responded without raising his head, an acknowledgment.


    Liang Tao knew this was not the time to speak. Though he was brimming with questions, in the end, he said nothing.


    In fact, it was the right decision; He Xing genuinely had neither the time nor the mood to answer the doubts in Liang Tao’s mind. He had more important issues to handle.


    The premiere of “Pensive Return” had gone smoothly, but a few seconds of video captured and uploaded to the inte caused an explosion of public opinion, fermenting wildly.


    If not handled properly, “Pensive Return” could be the first movie ever to be cut mid-release after just one premiere, and He Xing’s ns to break into the film industry might be cut as well. As for the He Group…


    The consequences would be a series of butterfly effects—a single misstep resulting inplete loss.


    From the movie theater where the premiere was held to the headquarters of the He Group was only a twenty-minute journey. During these twenty minutes, He Xing had already issued a dozen orders.


    By the time they reached the He Group, personnel there had already begun to follow his directives.


    First, the official Weibo of “Pensive Return” posted a message saying that the incident at today’s premiere was purely idental and under investigation, promising updates as soon as they were avable.


    Second, a specialized team was established to monitor online public opinion, to provide necessary positive guidance, but absolutely not to silence voices.


    Third, and most importantly, identify whether the online public opinion was being manipted and concurrently gather evidence of such maniption.


    Everyone in the Public Rtions Department was overwhelmed with work, wishing they could function as three people in one; on seeing this, He Xing immediately arranged for staff from other departments toe and support.


    He himself found an empty space in the Public Rtions Department and set up an impromptu office there.


    …


    Bai Wei returned to the Fitting Room, quickly changed out of her performance clothes, undid her braids, removed her makeup, and then quickly changed into casual clothes. Wearing a duckbill hat and a face mask, she hurriedly left the cinema.


    She had already obtained the hospital’s location from Fu Han. Now, she naturally wanted to rush to the hospital to ask directly for rity.


    Perhaps others could not figure it out, but she recognized at first sight that the person engaged in a fervent battle on the screen was Luo Qinghe. They were currently boyfriend and girlfriend, and she absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.


    After Fu Han and the others arrived at the hospital, Luo Qinghe and Qin Xiaonian went first to have blood drawn for tests, followed by gastricvage.


    Of course, Qin Xiaonian resisted the whole process. She agreed to the blood draw only with reluctance, and during the gastricvage, she even tried to sneak away, but to no avail as Fu Han kept a tight watch on her.


    Qin Xiaonian finished the gastricvage before Luo Qinghe. By the time he emerged, she had already mostly recovered. When she saw Luo Qinghe’s pale face, her heart ached, and she couldn’t help rushing over to support him.


    As soon as Luo Qinghe saw Qin Xiaonian approaching, he pushed her away, “Stay away from me. Don’t touch me.”


    “I…” Qin Xiaonian’s face turned red with embarrassment, her mouth opened as if to say something, but on second thought, she ultimately chose to remain silent.


    “What are you all doing?” A crisp voice of a young girl rang out. A tightly wrapped figure at the end of the hallway was walking towards them.


    Fu Han recognized her immediately as Bai Wei and hurried forward to try and stop her, “Bai Wei, calm down. There are many people here. Whatever it is, we can talk about it when we get back. Don’t make a scene here.”


    “I know.” These three words popped out from between Bai Wei’s teeth as she lightly pushed away Fu Han, step by step approaching Luo Qinghe, “Is that you in the video?”


    By the time they arrived at the hospital, they were already aware of the events at the premiere. Even though Bai Wei’s question was abrupt, everyone understood what she was asking.


    Luo Qinghe turned his head away ufortably, saying with embarrassment, “Xiaowei, this isn’t what you think. You have to believe me; I will exin everything to you.”


    Qin Xiaonian also chimed in, “Lady Bai, please don’t me Qinghe. We…”


    “Qinghe? You sure are on familiar terms, aren’t you!” Bai Wei was furious, her hand flying towards Qin Xiaonian’s face with a p.


    Caught off guard, Qin Xiaonian was pped to the ground. She looked up at Luo Qinghe with pleading eyes for help, but to no avail; Luo Qinghe didn’t even spare her a nce.


    Themotion they caused drew the attention of many onlookers. A kind passerby even helped pick Qin Xiaonian up, asking if she was okay.


    Qin Xiaonian, still with a look of great grievance, said in a low voice, “Lady Bai Wei, I know you also like Luo Qinghe, but he’s not exclusive to you. I, too, have the right to like him; I want topete with you fairly.”


    “You think you’re worthy?” Bai Weiughed out of anger, havingpletely forgotten Fu Han’s earlier words. She sneered as she walked towards Qin Xiaonian, her hand reaching out for another p.


    With a p on the other cheek, Qin Xiaonian’s face was symmetrically marked. No longer covering her face, she knelt to the ground with a thud and cried out heart-wrenchingly, “Bai Wei, I know you disdain me, but today’s incident isn’t just my fault alone. The two of us were carried away by our feelings…”
