Chapter 289: Medicine

“It hurts a little.” Luo Ying’s lips scrunched up in a hurt expression.
Lu Zhao quickly untied the bandage and got ready to re-bandage her. His actions were delicate, as if he was handling a delicate object.
When the bloody bandage was removed, it was as if someone had a vice grip on Lu Zhao’s heart.
“Hiss…” When the cotton bud dipped in alcohol touched the fresh cut, Luo Ying frowned.
“Does it hurt?” Lu Zhao nervously stopped.
Luo Ying nodded.
Lu Zhao’s touch became even lighter. “I’ll be gentler.” He gently dabbed the medicine onto Luo Ying with the cotton swab.
Luo Ying bent her chin and studied Lu Zhao’s intent face. When she remembered the afternoon, she realized that she had subconsciously put on a brave face while being administered medicine on set.
Inside, Luo Ying smiled a warm, happy smile. It was not that she did not feel pain; she just did not want to display it. She had not even realized it at the time, but Lu Zhao had become the one person with whom she felt completely safe opening up emotionally.
Luo Ying’s hand wound had gotten worse, but she still was not going to postpone tomorrow’s scenes.
Lu Zhao tried to get her to take it easy, but she pulled him into her arms and said coyly, “We can’t delay the outdoor shoot. The weather might not stay ideal for long.”
So, Lu Zhao had no choice but to get up with her at dawn and show up at the studio.
Lu Zhao wore a black surgical mask and hat and paired it with a casual sweater and trousers. When he carried Luo Ying’s bag and poured her tea, he truly looked like an assistant.
But even so, his towering stature made quite an impression. Employees occasionally engaged in hushed conversations.
“He is really tall and in good shape.”
“Sister Ying’s assistant is said to be a part-time bodyguard. It’s no surprise for him to have a good figure.”
“Are you sure he is an assistant? There is so much love in his eyes when he looks at Sister Ying.”
“Maybe… Maybe… Yes.”
“Are you still able to study his eyes from that great a distance? Don’t you have work to do?” Their conversation was cut short by Wang Yu, the real assistant. The small group did not have the courage to continue talking, so they quickly left.
Wang Yu let out a long sigh. These folks were totally fearless. Just seeing them gave her the creeps.
Lu Zhao came here to be her assistant despite being a president. She knew better than to make him do the work of an assistant, but she also could not keep him looking idle. Also, she had to keep President Lu from overhearing the rumors. There is no way she could risk everyone their jobs with a single sentence.
Fortunately, not long after, Su Li had business with them, so they went to an even more remote area.
Wang Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
After an exhausting day of filming action scenes yesterday, the production team decided to keep today’s filming simple. The assistant director could easily monitor the Drogress.
Because of this, Su Li was able to go in search of Lu Zhao. It was all related to yesterday’s incident involving Chen Yue.
When Su Li and the others met Chen Yue’s sc*mbag father in the police station’s mediation room the night before, they were expecting to be harassed, but they were taken aback by the man’s utter lack of decency.
The cuffed man showed no remorse and kept smirking and pointing his finger at them. “What did I do? I gave her hair a yank. Can you tell me what I did wrong, officer?”
This man had probably been to the police station numerous times and was probably familiar with the fundamentals of the law.
He assaulted Chen Yue, but Chen Yue’s injuries were not enough to qualify as an actual attack. His detention would typically last no longer than five days. He could continue to harass Chen Yue after the detention.
“Why are you being so smug?!” In a fit of rage, Cheng Zhen slammed the table.
Chen Yue closed her eyes in despair.
Su Li was so enraged that he almost stood up and tried to fight, but Yan Xin restrained him. “Don’t be rash!”
“For aggravated assault, you will receive a three- to five-day sentence of administrative detention under the law of public security.” The officer’s tone was steady and icy. Despite the man’s obvious provocation, he showed no signs of anger. After he finished speaking calmly, his coworkers handed him updated information from outside the door.
The man, assuming the police were helpless against him, smiled smugly. “Well, it is not like I have never been detained before!”
He gave Chen Yue an intense look. “I’m warning, I’ll find you next time. Don’t even think about running away! When I am old, you are responsible for my care. This is a threat!”
The policeman cut him off by saying, “Do not worry. There may or may not be a next time.”
“What?” The policeman’s words cut off the man’s laughter. A fierce expression froze on his face.. “What do you mean?”
