Chapter 212 The Wire Broken
Chapter 212 The Wire Broken
“These are all part of my job, and I should go.”
Xiao Jiu Jiu pursed her lips and looked up at Qin Yuyang: "Dad, why don't you let me go?"
"Xiao Jiu, this is too dangerous!"
Pointing to the five bodyguards over there, Qin Yuyang said helplessly, "Although I found you a few bodyguards, danger can still strike unexpectedly."
It's better not to go out than to live in fear.
"They will all protect me, right?" Little Jiu Jiu looked at Qin Yuyang with her big, watery eyes, filled with anticipation.
Qin Yuyang sighed helplessly: "I will protect you, but there will inevitably be oversights, so..."
"It's okay, I believe in them."
Xiao Jiu Jiu's gaze fell on the bodyguards over there.
The group of men were all strong and muscular, and their exposed arms exuded power.
Little Jiu Jiu exclaimed exaggeratedly, "They look really amazing, Dad, don't worry."
"Don't worry? I think your dad's almost depressed," Coal Ball said quietly, seemingly sensing something.
Qin Yuyang's expression was particularly unpleasant. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then paused and remained silent.
Cream nudged it: [Stop talking and eat quickly, or there won't be any food later.]
Coal Ball's cat food was served the fastest because it doesn't have a big appetite: [Who dares to steal my cat food? Hilarious!]
[Isn't all that dog food at home enough for you?] Hotpot has always eaten dog food, so I don't know anything about this.
Cream scoffed: "You must have never eaten dog food before. You'll know once you do."
The two dogs started arguing.
"I'm just not at ease."
Qin Yuyang rubbed his temples.
He hasn't slept well since last night: "You'd better stay home and not go out."
Xiao Jiujiu changed the subject: "Dad, have you investigated the person who delivered the things yesterday?"
“I asked the housekeeper, but he couldn’t remember what the person looked like, so I had someone check the surveillance footage.”
Qin Yuyang sighed helplessly, but still followed Xiao Jiujiu's lead and changed the subject.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jiujiu asked, "What about the surveillance footage?"
If you've seen it and can take a picture of it, then you can find it.
"The surveillance cameras must have captured it, but it was deleted." Qin Yuyang shook his head.
The housekeeper also came over and said, "Miss Jiu, that person planted people in our house. After the surveillance footage was deleted, the security guard we suspected also disappeared."
As for the person who delivered the items yesterday, I'm getting old and really can't remember anything.
There were other servants too, but I can't remember them all. I'm very sorry.
"No need to apologize." Xiao Jiujiu waved her hand: "The surveillance footage is gone, so be it. I don't think that person had any intention of harming me."
Qin Yuyang frowned: "We have to be careful. We don't know where the enemy is hiding, so it's best to be cautious."
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll be fine." Little Jiu Jiu patted her little chest, looking especially adorable with her confident expression.
With a sigh, Qin Yuyang said, "Xiao Jiu, don't be so absolute about some things."
Make sure you take good care of the bodyguards I've arranged for you.
He glanced at the five bodyguards and instructed them, "The two most capable ones will sit in your car and follow you at all times."
The other three will be stationed behind you in the car.
"Do you think this arrangement is acceptable?" Qin Yuyang said, letting out a long sigh.
Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Okay, that's settled!"
"You little rascal, you really have to film this scene today, don't you!" Qin Yuyang reached out and poked Xiao Jiujiu's head helplessly.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "We've already signed the contract. I'm an honest and trustworthy mouse, so I'm going to take the picture!"
They were almost done filming, and now they're saying they're not filming anymore? It's too late.
Unable to persuade Xiao Jiu, Qin Yuyang could only sigh and say, "Since that's how it is, let's do as you say and arrange for all these people to be taken care of."
What could he do? He could only compromise.
"Yeah, they're all in great shape, they look like they could knock me out of the room with one punch."
Little Jiu Jiu walked up to them with great satisfaction, revealing a sweet smile: "You will all protect me, right?"
"Yes, Miss Jiu!"
The group's firm and resolute answers pleased Xiao Jiu Jiu greatly: "Okay, then I'll be going now, Dad!"
As Xiao Jiujiu waved to Qin Yuyang and prepared to leave, Meiqiu jumped into Xiao Jiujiu's schoolbag.
Qin Yuyang nodded: "I was planning to rest today, but since you're going out too, I'll go out and run some errands as well."
Qin Xin is still in bed at home. She's going to her new painting class after she gets up.
"Okay~"
Little Jiu Jiu smiled and comforted him, "Dad, don't work too hard, take a break when you need to!"
Qin Yuyang nodded: "I'm just going out to play some golf, it's no big deal."
I originally wanted to spend some quality time with my family at home.
As a result, none of them had time.
"okay!"
Little Jiu Jiu, with her schoolbag on her back and several bodyguards, headed out in a grand procession.
Chang Hongfeng, who came specifically to pick up Xiao Jiujiu: ?
If the little figure in front of her wasn't Xiao Jiu, she would have thought she was hallucinating.
It looked like a gang fight.
After getting out of the car, Chang Hongfeng opened the door for Xiao Jiu Jiu: "Miss Jiu, what's going on here...?"
What are you doing?!
Xiao Jiu Jiu fiddled with her fingers and said in a low voice, "This is someone my dad sent to protect me. You know, I couldn't very well refuse."
"What happened?"
Chang Hongfeng raised an eyebrow and saw that one of the bodyguards was sitting in the passenger seat and the other was sitting next to Xiao Jiujiu.
The remaining three drove out in a new car.
Scratching her head, Xiao Jiujiu said helplessly, "I don't know either, but my dad is just worried, so I had no choice but to bring it."
“Bringing so many people to the film set might make people think we’re being arrogant,” Chang Hongfeng said in a low voice.
One of the bodyguards said, "We can help, as long as Miss Jiu is within our sight."
"Yes, Mr. Qin has paid these salaries."
They also knew that Xiao Jiu Jiu had a special identity and was filming at a young age, so they could only protect her silently.
Chang Hongfeng said helplessly, "Okay, I understand. You guys keep a low profile, but I still need to tell the director."
"Ah."
After a brief chat, the car fell silent.
Little Nine pulled open her schoolbag a crack, and Coal Ball poked its head out: "Meow~"
[Xiao Jiu, your forehead is dark; you are in danger of bloodshed.]
After glancing at Xiao Jiujiu, Meiqiu panicked: [What should we do? What happened?]
"It's okay, it's okay."
Little Nine rubbed Coal Ball's ears, leaned close, and whispered in its ear: "No matter what danger there is, I'll definitely get you out of it, okay?"
Arrived at the crew.
Chang Hongfeng quickly led them to find the director.
As soon as they entered the film set, everyone saw five burly men in casual clothes following Xiao Jiu Jiu.
The others began to whisper among themselves.
"What's going on? Are they new actors?"
"They look more like thugs. Could it be that they've finally lost their temper and are going to beat up Director Song?"
"It's not that bad. Let's see how to handle this first."
These people peered around, asking all sorts of questions, eager to know what was going on.
"Director Song!"
Chang Hongfeng led his men to Director Song and whispered a few words in his ear.
Director Song glanced at the people behind Xiao Jiu Jiu, his eyelids twitching: "Okay, let's go inside and talk."
Inside the directors' rest area, Director Song said helplessly, "Xiao Jiu, isn't your house a bit too big of a setup?"
Little Jiu Jiu blinked her big eyes, her soft, sweet voice carrying a hint of grievance: "Uncle Song, it's all because my dad is worried about me."
He said there are too many bad people outside now, and they want to steal children.
The coal ball in the schoolbag quietly poked its head out, looked around, and then turned its gaze back to Xiao Jiu: Wow, it just opens its mouth and speaks!
Director Song was somewhat helpless.
This little princess is a precious daughter, even President Ye dotes on her, so it's fine for her to have bodyguards with her when she goes out.
Besides, Xiao Jiu is so cute, it definitely wasn't her fault.
"Alright, alright, you all change your clothes and get into character. As long as it doesn't affect the filming."
He waved his hand: "Nothing else is a big deal."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Song."
Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled at him.
Director Song smiled and went out to signal the staff to continue preparations.
The makeup artist and stylist came in to do Xiao Jiu Jiu's makeup.
Today, Xiao Jiu Jiu is playing the role of a princess joining the immortal sect, wearing a lake-blue dress, and participating in the sect's assessment.
She has several scenes that require her to be suspended by wires.
After Xiao Jiu Jiu was ready, Director Song asked, "Xiao Jiu, are you afraid of heights?"
"Ok?"
Xiao Jiu Jiu tilted her head and looked at him.
Director Song thought for a moment and then asked, "Aren't you afraid of flying?"
"Not afraid."
Director Song gave a wink to the staff, and someone immediately went up and put her on the wire.
Xiao Jiujiu was very cooperative throughout.
Seeing this, Director Song still asked one more question, "Are you really not afraid, Xiao Jiu?"
"Don't be afraid!"
The staff checked Xiao Jiu Jiu again before giving the director a "OK" sign.
"Okay, Xiao Jiu, get ready. In a bit, you'll fly up with your sword and fight the brother next to you, okay?" Director Song always spoke to Xiao Jiu Jiu very gently.
Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Mhm."
She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, her gaze fixed intently on the actor opposite her.
Director Song, holding a walkie-talkie, shouted: "All departments, prepare! Begin!"
The bodyguards around him silently blended into the background, their eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Xiao Jiujiu's location.
There was also a pad underneath the wire.
For short dramas with such low production costs, safety is the most important factor.
Little Nine-Nine took flight, her face visibly excited: "Hello, excuse me!"
She first clasped her hands in a fist salute to the person opposite her.
The man scoffed, "Just a little girl. Does she really think she's so great that she can join a sect of immortals?"
"Please enlighten me!"
After saying this, Xiao Jiujiu glanced at him, gripped his sword, and thrust it forward.
The other party was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly realized what was happening and joined her in the fight.
These moves were practiced below, and both players performed very well, managing to clear the stage in one take.
Director Song looked at the scene in the camera with satisfaction.
The staff below watched with amusement.
Just now.
"Boom!"
The sound of the steel cable snapping was clearly audible.
The steel cable broke completely, leaving only a single strand connecting it to the side.
"not good!"
The actor on the other side planned to swing over and catch Xiao Jiujiu.
Even if there's a cushion underneath, falling like that would still hurt terribly.
Moreover, their fight had reached a breaking point, and if they fell like that, they might not necessarily land on the mat.
"what!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu screamed and plummeted rapidly from the sky.
Chaos erupted around them, with screams of alarm filling the air!
In the blink of an eye, the two bodyguards who had been standing guard nearby pounced at almost the same time.
One of them threw something outside.
The thing quickly inflated into an inflatable cushion.
The other one quickly moved the inflatable mat and caught Xiao Jiujiu steadily.
Little Jiu Jiu, who had fallen into the inflatable mattress, was a little dazed and struggled to get up: "Ouch, that hurts."
The broken wire scraped her back, and her clothes on the back were torn.
The bodyguard quickly took Xiao Jiu Jiu out: "Miss Jiu, are you hurt?"
"Ugh, Uncle, my back hurts so much!"
Xiao Jiujiu said in a low voice, sounding aggrieved.
Director Song was terrified: "Paramedics, come quick!"
People gathered around, all looking at Xiao Jiu Jiu with concern.
The person still hanging there said, "Hey, let me down, I'm still hanging here."
The action director quickly ordered someone to put him down.
Everyone gathered around Xiao Jiu.
Chang Hongfeng rushed over: "Miss Jiu, are you alright? Where are you injured?"
"Thanks to these two uncles, otherwise I would have fallen on the concrete outside." Xiao Jiu Jiu turned around: "Sister Hong Feng, my back hurts so much."
Chang Hongfeng's pupils contracted: "He's bleeding!"
At this moment, everyone noticed that Xiao Jiu Jiu's face had turned somewhat pale.
"Let me apply some medicine first, please don't block the way!"
The bodyguard carried Xiao Jiu Jiu back to the dressing room, where a paramedic was cleaning her wounds.
Chang Hongfeng directly communicated with the director, stopped filming, and called the hospital to come over.
"Meow?"
Coal Ball appeared out of nowhere, and seeing that Xiao Jiu was injured, it didn't dare to go up to her because there were so many people around.
It frowned, ran back into Xiao Jiu Jiu's schoolbag, and zipped the zipper up a little.
Xiao Jiu will take it with her when she goes to the hospital later.
Xiao Jiu Jiu saw the coal ball's things and said to Chang Hong Feng, "Sister Hong Feng, please remember to bring my schoolbag."
"Yes, Miss Jiu."
Chang Hongfeng nodded and glanced at Xiao Jiu Jiu's back.
Because although the steel cable broke, the broken part was still sharp after the impact.
They scraped a large gash on Xiao Jiu Jiu's back.
That thing is rusty; if it's not treated promptly, it could cause tetanus.
"My God, this wound!" Fu Qing rushed over upon hearing the news, her face full of heartache.
Xiao Jiu Jiu forced a smile at her: "It's okay."
"You said you were fine, but your wound is so big!" Fuqing was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.
Having spent so many days with Xiao Jiu, we've developed a deep bond.
She was saddened to see her injured.
Xiao Jiujiu offered a few words of comfort, and the ambulance arrived.
Director Song also called the police to deal with the steel cable issue, and Xiao Jiu Jiu was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Qin Yuyang, who was playing golf, became anxious upon learning that Xiao Jiujiu was injured.
"Mr. Huang, let's reschedule for another day. Something has happened to my daughter."
Qin Yuyang didn't even bother with the person in front of him; he apologized and ran away as fast as he could...
