Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 128 Jealousy

As the two walked out of the hospital, Su Li's face was filled with barely suppressed joy.

He strode forward, picked up Liang Shun, and spun him around happily like a child.

"Brother Liang Shun, I knew you'd be alright! Look, good luck has come your way!!!"

Liang Shun felt dizzy from being held and spun around like that. He slapped the other man's hands a few times and shouted, "Stop spinning me! Put me down!"

Su Li wasn't angry even after being hit; she smiled brightly and gently put Liang Shun down.

The dizziness seemed to still linger in his mind. Liang Shun helped Su Li recover for a while before slowly saying, "I'd like to come back for another test in a week."

Su Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come with you."

Su Li was born handsome, a sunny and cheerful guy whose smile brightened up the whole world.

Liang Shun stared at Su Li for a while, then a strange emotion welled up in his heart, leaving him at a loss.

He turned his head away and said casually, "Whatever."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated in his pocket; it was Xie Qing calling.

"Hey, Liang Shun, where are you guys right now?"

Liang Shun: "I just left the hospital and was about to return to the film set."

"You two come directly to the police station. The person who put the needle in your costume has already been caught."

"Okay, we're coming right now."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Shun looked at Su Li and said, "Let's go to the police station."

Su Li was taken aback, then realized what she meant and asked, "Have they caught him?"

"Hmm, but we don't know exactly who it is yet."

Su Li frowned, her face full of indignation, "Whoever it is, they have to pay the price for doing wrong."

Inside the interrogation room of Anping County Police Station.

Liang Shun stared intently at the person sitting in front of him, someone he never expected.

They had almost no interaction, let alone any conflict, but that was the reality.

Liang Shun tried his best to remain calm, but his voice still betrayed a hint of anger as he questioned, "Cheng Jin, why did you do this?"

"We've barely even exchanged a few words, why did you have to hurt me!"

Wearing silver handcuffs, Cheng Jin looked at Liang Shun's angry face, his expression twisted with barely concealed malice.

"Because I'm jealous."

He was jealous that Liang Shun had stolen his thunder from the very beginning, easily making it to the trending topics with just a fight.

Despite being born into an ordinary family like him, the other person was able to star in two of Lu Sang's dramas in a row, while he only got the opportunity after much difficulty.

She was jealous that he always had friends around him, while she was just a nobody on set...

Thinking of this, Cheng Jin felt a surge of malice and said in a fit of desperation, "I'm so jealous I wish you were dead."

The police officers standing guard nearby immediately gave him a warning look.

Upon hearing his reply, Liang Shun felt a surge of anger and bitterness build up in his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Looking back on my 25 years of life, as the middle child in my family, I was always ignored and scolded by my family.

He was abducted at the age of ten by a human trafficker with a scarred face. Because he was a little too old to be sold, he was locked in a room and beaten severely for disobeying orders.

When he turned fifteen, he finally escaped and ran home along the route he remembered, only to find that there was no longer a place for him in the house.

After spending three years at home, he harbored resentment and left without taking anything with him to try his luck in City A.

In the first few years, in order to survive in City A, where land is incredibly expensive, he did all sorts of dirty and strenuous jobs.

Discovered by a talent scout at the age of twenty, she became an actress and signed with a company, but due to her lack of background and overly straightforward personality, she remained relatively unknown.

He never gets the good resources.

Fortunately, he did not give up and has accumulated some fans over five years.

It wasn't until this year that his luck began to turn slightly better.

Jealous of him?

How can such a messed-up life be labeled as jealousy?

That's just...absurd.

Because of his talk of jealousy, I spent the whole morning in fear, worried that I might have caught some disease.

Just because he's jealous, does that mean he deserves to be ruined?!

Liang Shun clenched his fists tightly, slammed his fist on the table, and stood up abruptly, punching the other man hard in the face, yelling, "Fuck your mother..."

"Why the hell don't you just die...?"

Liang Shun suddenly attacked someone, so fast that even the police officers sitting nearby didn't have time to react.

The police officer, regaining his senses, immediately pulled Liang Shun away and shouted, "You assaulted someone in front of the police! Do you want to be detained? Sit down!"

Liang Shun sat down angrily and calmed down for a while before saying, "Officer, that's all I wanted to ask. I'll be going now."

As soon as Liang Shun stepped out, Xie Qing and the other two surrounded him, with Su Li being the first to approach.

Su Li grabbed Liang Shun's shoulder, her eyes filled with concern, "Brother Liang Shun, are you alright?"

Liang Shun shook his head. "I'm fine."

Then, he looked at Lu Sang and Xie Qing, "I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble."

Lu Sang patted Liang Shun on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault, why are you apologizing!"

Su Li nodded in agreement, "Exactly, exactly."

Xie Qing then added, "By the way, those needles have been sent for testing and they didn't carry any virus, so you can rest assured."

Liang Shun replied gratefully, "Yes, thank you, Xie Qing."

Xie Qing: "No need for thanks, let's go back. Director Lu is treating us to dinner tonight, it'll help calm your nerves."

Liang Shun completely shook off his gloomy mood and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go back."

……

After the matter came to an end, Cheng Jin received the punishment he deserved. He was not only removed from the production team, but also faced compensation and half a month of detention.

His scenes definitely couldn't be aired, so Lu Sang had to call in someone to fill in and take his place.

Because of this, the originally scheduled wrap-up date was cancelled and postponed by a week, which may not even be enough.

Xie Qing sent a message to Huo Yunting, briefly explaining the situation. Before Huo Yunting could reply, a familiar voice rang out, "Brother Qing, Director Lu Sang is calling you!"

It's Tao Tao.

Since arriving in Anping County, Tao Tao has returned to his old profession—Xie Qing's assistant.

Xie Qing had refused, wanting him to stay and relax for a while, and then they could go back together after filming was finished, but the other party's will was unexpectedly firm, so he had no choice but to agree.

After Tao Tao returned to her position as assistant, she took meticulous care of Xie Qing's daily life, even more so than Chu Luo.

He kept himself busy like a spinning top, appearing to be very fulfilled every day, but Xie Qing knew that he was running away from something.

Tao Tao jogged up to Xie Qing, a look of confusion flashing in her round almond-shaped eyes, "Brother Qing?"

Xie Qing immediately snapped out of her daze, "Okay, I understand."

He handed the phone to Tao Tao, saying, "Tao Tao, if anyone messages me later, remember to remind me."

Tao Tao nodded his head like he was pounding garlic.

Xie Qing went to the film set to film, and Tao Tao stood quietly not far away watching, occasionally glancing down at her phone to see if any messages had come in. She also had a towel and a thermos in her hand.
