Hanging up the phone, Sheng Xing Ze's slender fingers tapped on the hospital bed, his thick eyelashes drooped with the movement of his eyes, and the whole person was in deep thought.\n
Since joining the crew, Hui Si Yong had always been nice to everyone, acting very down-to-earth, and never added trouble to the crew. Although he was the latest addition to the crew, due to his lively and happy-going character, he quickly mingled with everyone in the crew, no one in the crew did not like him.
Sheng Xing Ze had always been very optimistic about this newcomer. He had a face for an actor. At first glance, his acting skills seemed to have been trained for many years, there must be a master who had been teaching him these skills. The only shortcoming for Hui Si Yong was not getting the right script. The movie made up for this issue, and soon he would have a promising future.
Sheng Xing Ze drew circles on the bed sheets, and Hui Si Yong's innocent smile appeared in his mind. If he really had made any private transaction with Lin Mu, as far as the series of events were concerned, Sheng Xing Ze really did not have that much hope for his characteristic as a whole.
Whether this incident was just simply an accident or was man-made, it still remained in discussion.
Yu Bai had been standing next to Sheng Xing Ze, so he obviously heard the conversation on the phone, also Sheng Xing Ze did not want to hide anything from him. Since the two of them openly talked about Lin Mu's ill intentions, the two of them naturally stood on the same side of the battle front; this matter would not be changed by Hui Si Yong's participation.
Yu Bai was as silent as Sheng Xing Ze. He could easily guess what Sheng Xing Ze was thinking about. He put his hands in his pockets and unconsciously touched his phone inside.
For a short time, the ward was quiet, and neither of them spoke.
"Do you think it's him?" Sheng Xing Ze broke the silence first and looked up at Yu Bai with clear crystal eyes.
Yu Bai stretched out his fingers and ruffled Sheng Xing Ze's hair sticking out on top of his head, "I'm not sure."
Sheng Xing Ze tilted his head and enjoyed the other's fingers rubbing against his scalp, feeling very comfortable. He could not help wanting more.
"Honestly speaking, if Hui Si Yong really harbors such intention, wouldn't it be too stupid of him to use his own name for the account? Saying that he had planned this, I would like to believe that someone wants to frame him."
Yu Bai stared intensely at his fingers being rubbed on by Sheng Xing Ze, the feeling of soft hair touching his fingers created an itchy friction, "We cannot take this matter lightly, you should take good care of yourself first, don't think too much. Believe in me, I'll definitely give you an explanation."
"Okay."

"Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng, I bring you the trotters stewed by my mom!"
When it was near lunchtime, a cheerful voice came from outside the ward.
The little nurse passing by told the person to not make loud noise in the hospital, and Hui Si Yong walked into the ward with a warm box.
Closing the door, he lifted the lid of the pig's trotter soup, and revealed the stewed trotters and soybeans.
Sheng Xing Ze had been drinking all kinds of big tonic soup for several days, the first few days he was looking forward to it, but now he really did not want to take any.
Hui Si Yong scooped out a bowl of rich pig's trotter soup and handed it to Sheng Xing Ze, "Drink it quickly while it's hot, it won't taste good if it's cold."
A big bowl was being placed in Sheng Xing Ze's hands before he could refuse. Looking at the big bowl in front of him, he felt an unprecedented fear.
Hui Si Yong found a chair to sit down next to Sheng Xing Ze's bed, "My mom knows that I caused your injury, she feels terribly sorry, so she told me to bring the soup here and watch you drink it." He rolled up his sleeves to show a few bruises on his arms to Sheng Xing Ze, "My dad gave me a good beating, he said that I was being careless for not checking the prop ahead of time. I got hurt is one thing but I even caused others to get hurt, that's unforgivable."
Hui Si Yong grumbled with pursed lips, looking at Sheng Xing Ze with a guilty face, his face clearly wrote "please forgive me" three words big and clear.
"Don't you know that you are now my family's precious baby, all my parents' concern nowadays is how Xing Xing is doing today; if it were not because they are busy today, they would definitely come with me."
Seeing Hui Si Yong having a monologue by himself, Sheng Xing Ze still remembered the conversation on the phone last night, so he decided to interrupt the boy, "Do you know Lin Mu?"
Hui Si Yong was a little confused by this sudden change of topic. He blinked confusedly, "the one tried to steal your role before?"
"Yes."
Hui Si Yong twisted his hands unsteadily in front of him and finally hesitatingly said, "Didn't I promise you to investigate this matter thoroughly? I wanted to find out everything before I told you, but I haven't made any progress in these two days."
Sheng Xing Ze nodded, "Say it, I listen."
"There was a propsman who disappeared after the incident that day, and most of the surveillance videos of that incident were being destroyed, but there was a hidden camera capturing the evidence of him doing something to the wire. I made a copy of the video and the original is with the filming crew. We plan to find the person first and then take him to the police station along with the evidence."
Hui Si Yong handed a USB disk to Sheng Xing Ze, "This is the recording I'm talking about, my guess is that someone must have instructed that propsman to do it, because he was the only one missing on the day of the accident. However, we have made no progress since then."
"Directly report this to the police, they always work faster than us," Sheng Xing Ze said so, but he understood that no filming crew would want to have this kind of scandal happening on their set. Presumably Zhang Chao was unwilling to use the law enforcement to search for the missing propsman, the ultimate reason could be that he was worried this incident would have a negative impact on the future promotion of the movie. As long as the police were not involved, Zhang Chao could say that the actor got injured due to an accident during filming.
Thinking of this, he chuckled.
"No need, I've found the person." Yu Bai pushed the door to walk in, holding a phone in his hand, it seemed that he had just finished a call.
He casually hung his clothes on the hanger and familiarly stood next to Sheng Xing Ze's bed. He took the bowl of pig's trotter soup from Sheng Xing Ze's hands and pushed the oil on the surface out to scoop a spoonful to feed Sheng Xing Ze.
"He was at the airport when we found him. He already admitted that Lin Mu gave him money to have him do something with your wire. The purpose is to make you unable to continue filming. This time getting Xing Ze injured was by mistake." He looked up at Hui Si Yong and scooped a spoonful of soup into Sheng Xing Ze's reluctantly opened mouth.
Hui Si Yong looked left and right only to find that he was the only one here. He pointed to the tip of his nose and wondered, "Me? Lin Mu and I don't know each other. We've never even crossed paths before, why did he want to hurt me?"
Sheng Xing Ze swallowed a spoonful of soup, and before Yu Bai fed him another one, he finally got a chance to speak, "Lin Mu often transfers money into an account, and the owner of the account is under your name."
Hui Si Yong's face got pale, and his eyes were filled with doubts, "How is that possible, I only have one bank account and the debit card is with my parents. All of the money from my filming is being directly deposited into that account. I only get pocket money from my parents! How could it be possible...No, I know."
Hui Si Yong suddenly calmed down, he stared at Sheng Xing Ze's eyes scorchingly, "Now I think about it, my brother may be the one that opened that account."
"Your brother?" Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai asked in unison.
Hui Si Yong patted his head annoyedly, "Look what kind of fish brain I have, when I was still underage, he took me to a bank to create one, saying that it was for my safekeeping. And tell me to call him if I need to use it. It has been so long that I've forgotten about it, he probably has access to that account."
Yu Bai and Sheng Xing Ze looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Hui Si Yong cleared his throat, "My brother is actually an apprentice of my dad. Recently, something happened at home. I had wanted to ask Brother Sheng for help. But with everything that has happened recently, I've forgotten about asking for your assistance in this matter. Let me start from the beginning."
His eyes flicked around as if he was looking for something, Yu Bai handed him a cup of water, and Hui Si Yong thanked him.
"My brother was raised by my parents since childhood, so calling him my brother is just a natural thing to do. My dad has a very good brother, and this uncle had been watching me and my brother grew up together. The uncle originally liked my brother a lot, but I don't know why recently his attitude towards Brother suddenly changed. He told my dad that Brother is not a good person, and even suggested my dad to drive Brother out of the house the sooner the better. And every time he saw Brother, he would spitefully scold him."
Hui Si Yong pinched the disposable paper cup in his hand, "Brother is half a son in my dad's eyes, because of this, the relationship between my dad and the uncle became so tense, they haven't seen each other for a long time. Even then, Uncle still treats me very well, he knows that I'm starting to act in some movies, he actually came to the shooting set to watch me. However, he always tells me to be careful around my Brother. I don't think Brother is as bad as he said, but I don't think Uncle lies to us about this either. I really don't know what to do..."
Sheng Xing Ze moved a little bit and readjusted his position, "Now it has proven that your Brother is really not a good person. According to what you just said, this bank account is being utilized by him, so the person who has been in contact with Lin Mu must be him, and the one who has been helping Lin Mu to cover up Bai Gao Cen's affairs is also him." Once he finished saying this, he turned his head to Yu Bai, and Yu Bai returned a positive nod to him.
Hui Si Yong was still having a struggling look on his face. He raised his head and looked a the other two people, "If that's the case, then Brother really did want to hurt me, is that right?"
Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai did not answer him, but their expressions were a confirmation to Hui Si Yong's question.
Hui Si Yong took in a deep breath and pushed open the door and walked away, "I will deal with this by myself."
Sheng Xing Ze sent a message to Mi He Qiu who had been waiting outside, telling him to watch Hui Si Yong closely so that he would not do stupid thing. Only Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai were left in the ward.
"He doesn't have it easy," Sheng Xing Ze heaved out a sighed, "The most deadly pain is to be hurt by the closest person to you."
Yu Bai noticed the loneliness in his tone, and he did not feel very comfortable at all. He always felt that Sheng Xing Ze had many secrets. If the young man was unwilling to say it, he did not want to force him to open those wounds again. So he got up and put the young man's head in his arms, then whispered.
