Chapter 140: “The world of young people is so complicated.”

Why did he come looking for me?

Qiao Tian’s head was dizzy and her feet felt unsteady.

She gripped her phone tightly, and then looked around the room that she had only stayed in for a few days and was still quite unfamiliar with: the tall stack of professional books, the miscellaneous printed documents, and the cameras hidden in various corners for the convenience of filming.

If she had encountered an ordinary accident, given Qiao Tian's personality, she should have been able to think things through properly.

Would it be a problem if a conflict was filmed?

Xu Qiqi was already on his way back, could he handle the person outside the door?

If she called the police now, would the matter blow up?

But right now, she couldn't care less about these things.

The man outside the door was cursing loudly: “Qiao Tian! Qiao Tian, you fucking bitch, your wings have grown hard, haven't they? You dare not open the door for your old man?”

“Damn it, I got you everything you wanted, fed you, clothed you, sent you to school… You, you, you're just like your mother, that slut who hadn't seen a man in eight lifetimes. You're a fucking white-eyed wolf too——are you opening the door or not? Don't be ungrateful when I'm giving you face!”

The man was short, fat, greasy, and when he opened his mouth, saliva sprayed from between his smoke-stained yellow teeth and splattered on the door.

The knocking was fierce and ruthless.

All these years, Qiao Tian had been coerced.

She brainwashed herself——

That step you took onto the train, clutching your schoolbag strap, was very brave.

You are Pavel Korchagin, you are Jane Eyre, you are Santiago, you are Du Liniang, you are Arandara, you are Tian Xiao'e, you are Hua Mulan…

But in fact, the Qiao Tian who ran away to study back then was in a terrible state, cautious and trembling with fear.

She sat in the lower berth of a hard sleeper for twelve hours.

Every time the person in the upper berth changed, she would nervously turn over, with her back to the outside.

After arriving at the final station, the uncle in the lower berth opposite her kindly patted her on the back to remind her it was time to get off.

She screamed subconsciously, saying, I don't want to go with you, I'm not going back.

The passengers surrounded the uncle and didn't let him leave, and the train attendant also quickly rushed over.

When Qiao Tian got up, she hit her head, her face pale.

She desperately bowed and apologized to the embarrassed uncle, saying that she had a nightmare.

The uncle accepted the apology and even comforted her: “It's okay, it's okay, it's a nightmare, it's good that you're awake.”

Some nightmares you can't wake up from.

You mistakenly think you're awake, but with just a glance through the peephole, you can be easily dragged back into the dream.

The ugly face distorted by the wide-angle of the peephole, impatient, crazily banging on the door with a drunken stupor——that was Qiao Tian's nominal father.

He just wants to destroy me.

Qiao Tian felt a wave of suffocation.

She slumped to the ground, her back against the door, and curled up with her head buried in her knees.

She had witnessed the cruelty of the entertainment industry.

People with power could easily "kill" another person.

Capable people could fight back and turn the tables, it just depended on whether they could seize the opportunity.

There were also people who could proactively create a way out in a desperate situation…

She had always wanted to be that kind of amazing person.

To be able to handle everything with ease, not to care about attachments.

As long as a set of scales was established in her heart, it would become the only standard for measuring life.

Qiao Tian felt that she was almost there.

She could choose the work she engaged in, the direction of her efforts, and the partners she cooperated with.

She also didn't care about rumors, didn't care about the curses against her, didn't care that netizens thought she was a slut who sold her body and accomplished nothing.

But she was actually still afraid, terrified of the ugly, despicable, and weak old man as if he were a tiger or a wolf.

Qiao Tian hated to admit this, but she couldn't solve it.

Just as Qiao Tian was about to give up, an impatient voice came from outside the door: “Qiao Tian’s dad? Drunk as a dead dog, get out of the way.”

Qiao Tian was startled.

How could it be Shen Weidi?

Qiao Tian pushed herself up against the door and forced herself to look out through the peephole.

She saw Shen Weidi standing in front of her scoundrel father with a grim expression, looking down at him.

Qiao Tian couldn't see Shen Weidi's eyes clearly, but they must have been filled with all kinds of unwelcoming emotions, because the man suddenly flew into a rage.

“Who the fuck are you? None of your damn business!”

He tried to push Shen Weidi, but his arm was grabbed as soon as he reached out.

Shen Weidi frowned, his disgust and contempt undisguised.

With one hand, he pressed him against the door with a loud bang, which made Qiao Tian, inside the door, shudder violently.

“Try saying one more curse word?”

Shen Weidi, who already had a hot temper, now had fire in his eyes.

No one dared to curse him to his face, Wanshu Zu was an exception——but Wanshu Zu was very particular when he cursed, usually using facts to humiliate people, and the few swear words attached would be automatically ignored.

“What’s wrong with an old man asking his own daughter for some money? You outsider, mind your own business!”

The man's fleshy face was pressed against the peephole, and his curses grew fiercer.

It seemed he didn't take Shen Weidi seriously at all, nor did he recognize that this was a popular male star at the height of his fame, “Get the hell out of my way right now!”

Qiao Tian, watching from behind the door, was terrified, and her rationality suddenly returned.

There was something more troublesome than the man showing up… She was afraid that if the struggle continued, it would disturb the neighbors or even attract reporters, and the scene would get even more out of control.

Qiao Tian had to take a deep breath, and with a slightly trembling voice, opened the door: “Come in and talk… Don't argue in the hallway.”

In an instant, the door was pushed open.

When the man saw Qiao Tian, it was like a hungry wolf seeing a plump piece of meat, and his voice got even louder: “You ungrateful thing, I raised you all this time, and you disown your father after becoming a star? You even called a strange man to stop me?!”

Shen Weidi slowly walked in, closed the door, and looked at Qiao Tian with dark and heavy eyes.

He then glanced up at the direction of the camera and chuckled softly.

Qiao Tian's face was burning hot.

She had never considered herself weak, especially in front of Shen Weidi.

She had always been the more rational adult, who knew how to assess the situation and not cause trouble for others…

Now, Qiao Tian felt utterly humiliated.

Shen Weidi's background couldn't be better.

He grew up being doted on by his family, and his conflicts with his uncle were just minor squabbles.

And her own family situation was laid bare here.

The man had become a pronoun for her inferiority, without any class, his mouth full of profanities, like a stupid pig in a pigsty, covered in shit and still proud of it.

It was as if she had never been qualified to shout at Shen Weidi, and the accusations in the hospital back then now seemed pathetic and laughable.

“What exactly do you want?”

Qiao Tian asked in a hoarse voice.

She really didn't want to look at the sloppy drunkard in front of her, and she couldn't associate him with the word "father."

The sloppy man staggered into the living room, plopped himself down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said, “Money!”

He said, “Impressive, Qiao Tian, you've become a big star. If the kid downstairs hadn't asked, I wouldn't have known… Could you have gotten to where you are today without me, you fucker? Instead of giving your dad some money out of filial piety, I have to come and ask you for it myself?!”

“Rely on you…”

After a moment, Qiao Tian said woodenly, “What did I rely on you for?”

She didn't want to say these words.

Before, with Xu Qiqi, she had only briefly outlined the reason for leaving home.

But she still said it, in front of the man and Shen Weidi, very calmly, as if she wasn't the one being forcibly dissected.

“Rely on you to take my tuition money to buy alcohol, rely on you to change my college application choices, or rely on you to plan to sell me off to a man in his fifties for marriage?”

The corner of Shen Weidi’s eye twitched.

“Just rely on the fact that I gave birth to you!”

The man was clearly in the wrong, but he still had a shameless look on his face.

“Don't talk about all that nonsense, give me the money. You won't? Then I'll come and make a scene every day. Or I'll show the reporters your shameless, dead look, you big star.”

“Running away from home, look how capable you are, Qiao Tian. It's true what they say, you're just like your slut mother.”

“I do what I say I'll do, if you don't believe me then——”

Shen Weidi suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the man by the collar, his face expressionless.

He had been forced to work out by Gu An for years, so lifting a fleshy drunkard was no effort at all.

The man was so scared he shivered, but then he braced himself and shouted: “Yo, playing the hero? If you dare to hit me, then hit me. Let's see who loses out?”

Shen Weidi really dared to hit him.

Seeing that the two were about to clash again, Qiao Tian immediately stepped forward and grabbed Shen Weidi's arm.

It couldn't end in bloodshed, and she definitely couldn't call the police.

That would only make the media smell blood… No one wanted to get entangled with a shameless scoundrel, especially a public figure.

“Don't… you don't…”

Qiao Tian was trembling all over, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The man's eyes were sharp.

He saw Qiao Tian's fear and immediately leaned forward: “That's more like it. Give me five hundred thousand first, and we'll see how it goes…”

“I’ll give you a million, Qiao Tian, you stand aside.”

Shen Weidi said to Qiao Tian, “Guess why Wanshu Zu called me over?”

“Wanshu Brother…”

Qiao Tian’s lips moved, the veins on the back of her hand were prominent.

She could feel that her nerves were already stretched to the point of numbness.

The man thought Shen Weidi was talking to him.

Seeing the generous offer, he became even more impolite: “I haven't even calculated the interest. You think you can buy my daughter for a million? No way.”

Shen Weidi: “Is two million enough?”

Greed flashed in the man's eyes, but he still wanted to push his luck.

Just as his fat lips opened, he was hit squarely in the face with a hook punch.

The man couldn't dodge in time and was sent reeling backwards, collapsing onto the sofa, groaning repeatedly.

Shen Weidi shook his hand and gestured to Qiao Tian with his chin: “Two million for me to punch him once. The money is yours, the trouble is mine, you get out of the way.”

“You fucking dare to hit me… cough cough…”

The man's face was flushed, and he struggled to get up, his expression a mixture of shock and anger.

Shen Weidi threw another punch, knocking the man off the sofa and onto the floor.

The professional books stacked beside him scattered and fell.

The man, in a fit of rage, grabbed two books at hand and threw them at Qiao Tian.

"Nuclear Chemistry and Radiochemistry" and "Radiation Protection," the books weren't thick, but they made Qiao Tian take two steps back.

Shen Weidi laughed in anger: “You only dare to hit women?”

The man craned his neck, his voice rough: “Bullshit!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Weidi was about to teach him another lesson.

The man's face had already taken two punches, the inside of his cheek was cut by his teeth, and his mouth tasted of iron.

The alcohol had completely worn off, and he knew to dodge.

He realized that he wouldn't get the better of the situation this time, and his resentment towards Qiao Tian grew even stronger.

But when he met Shen Weidi's cold gaze, he ultimately didn't dare to truly fight back.

He scurried around the house like a dog, leaving a mess of cups and plates, while continuing to spew vicious words: “Fine, fine, another case of a bitch with a dog, the little bastard really thinks he's something. Qiao Tian, you and your mother are just——”

Qiao Tian, in a daze, grabbed a glass and stared at the man like a ghost, then threw it at him fiercely.

With a "clang," the glass landed at the man's feet.

The room fell into a brief silence, with only the man's rough gasps and the muffled trembling in his throat from shock.

“Get the hell out——!”

Qiao Tian suddenly erupted with a huge volume of sound.

The cracks in her wooden, suppressed expression burst open, and an angry voice roared out from the cracks, echoing throughout the room.

Her eyes were bloodshot.

She started looking for things everywhere, cups, vases, books, pen holders, iPads, laptops… whatever she could get her hands on, she threw.

Shen Weidi didn't stop her at all, and even handed her heavier small appliances like a small speaker.

“My mother not wanting you was her finally growing a pair of eyes. The only one qualified to criticize her is me. What do you think you are?”

Qiao Tian sneered.

Both her words and her sarcasm were forceful, her neck tense.

“I won't give you a single cent, and I won't admit you're my dad. Do whatever you want. If you have the guts, then come at me. Let's see who dies first, you or me——”

As she once again took the solid steel laptop stand and raised it high, a voice came from behind her.

“Calm down, Little Qiao.”

Someone grabbed her arm and gently brought it down.

The door had opened at some point, and none of the people in the room had noticed.

Wanshu Zu stood behind Qiao Tian, pulling her to the side.

He pulled the somewhat hysterical girl into his arms, and after taking the laptop stand, he gently patted her on the back.

Xu Qiqi looked at the disastrous scene in the room, his eyes wide and sore, and his heart was full of fear.

If they had been a little later, he really didn't know what would have happened.

Was Shen Weidi crazy?

He was reluctant on the phone, but when he came, he became an "accomplice."

He was used to being lawless, but what would Qiao Tian do if something really happened?!

On the contrary, Wanshu Zu didn't scold Shen Weidi, nor did he plan to.

This was all Shen Weidi's old tricks.

He had trashed plenty of rooms before, otherwise his parents wouldn't have been at their wit's end and sent him to Li Yamin to be dealt with.

Qiao Tian was still tense; you couldn't feel her breathing.

Wanshu Zu asked the girl in a low voice: “You keep an eye on Shen Weidi for me, I'll handle it, okay?”

Qiao Tian looked up at him, her face completely pale.

Finally, she slowly nodded.

Shen Weidi was still young.

No matter how recklessly he acted, the threat he posed was clear to see.

But Wanshu Zu was different.

You couldn't see any impulse, passion, or other emotions that could mobilize instincts in him.

This meant he was very clear-headed, so even a scoundrel had to be wary of the consequences behind his heavy scrutiny.

Wanshu Zu walked up to the man who had fallen to the ground, forcibly grabbed his collar to make him stand up, and even helped him straighten the hem of his shirt that had rolled up over his beer belly.

He was really too tall.

His shadow fell over the man, accompanied by a polite inquiry: “Can you stand steady, Mr. Qiao?”

Without waiting for an answer, Wanshu Zu added: “Anyway, you're not dead, so it doesn't matter.”

Then, Wanshu Zu grabbed the back of the man's neck with one hand, lifting him up, and held his fat shoulder with the other, striding towards the door, dragging the man who was struggling desperately but to no avail.

At the door, he turned to Xu Qiqi: “Gu An will go directly to the program team to deal with the footage. You come out with me.”

Xu Qiqi helped open the door, and then heard Wanshu Zu's instructions, “Go and talk to the neighbors about the situation. Any reason will do. Make sure they haven't called the police and won't call the police.”

Wanshu Zu dragged the man to the safety stairwell.

The light was dim, there were no bystanders and no surveillance.

The man's curses echoed throughout the stairwell, turning into pained screams as the pressure on the back of his neck suddenly increased.

“Don't move.”

Wanshu Zu held the man firmly and checked his external injuries.

After checking, he let go.

“You can go.”

Wanshu Zu said, “You can go to the media or the police, it's up to you. I can tell you what the final result will be——”

“Qiao Tian was abandoned at an early age and didn't recognize you. She thought the person outside her door demanding money was a street ruffian and contacted someone in a panic.”

“She was worried you would get into a conflict, so she let you in. But you became violent, beat up the friend she brought, and even tried to harm her. At the last minute, you were stopped by the manager who rushed over.”

“But you were never injured from beginning to end. In a fit of rage, you wanted to falsely accuse Qiao Tian, but the public will not be deceived. They will see what kind of person you are.”

“Your identity, name, and family background will be dug up and posted online. Your phone will ring 24 hours a day, and all your text messages will be curses telling you to die.”

“Finally, you might not be able to handle the pressure and choose some extreme way to end your life.”

“Qiao Tian will be heartbroken. Unable to bear the complex inner turmoil, she will reveal all the things you did in your early years. She will become the center of the topic of protecting the rights and interests of women and children, and then she will climb higher on your corpse.”

Wanshu Zu said faintly, “You can understand what I'm saying, can't you, Mr. Qiao?”

“You're talking nonsense! The injuries on my body were from that wild man——!”

“No.”

Wanshu Zu said, “On your way here, you were delirious from drinking and got into a conflict with some street punks. Don't worry, some punks will come and claim responsibility for your injuries.”

“Then I won't either…”

Won't commit suicide.

The man looked at Wanshu Zu and suddenly couldn't say those words.

He even suspected that this person would directly throw him down the stairwell and then make up another plausible story.

***

Watching the man crawl down on all fours as if his life depended on it, the system said indignantly: “He got off too easy! What's with Shen Weidi? This is his moment to shine!”

Little yellow chicken looked down on Shen Weidi, and had also forgotten its own constant muttering along the way, worrying that this kid would really do something big.

Chu Zu: “It's okay, he's just scared stiff. He'll come and make trouble again. Shen Weidi still has room to perform.”

Little yellow chicken screamed: “He still dares to come!!!”

Chu Zu: “There was no suitable opportunity this time. Next time, I'll find a time to solve it completely.”

Little yellow chicken's personality was such that when the host was being conservative, it wished it could floor the accelerator.

When the host started planning to go wild, it became reserved again.

“The background is a society ruled by law… this isn't good, is it?”

Chu Zu smiled: “I only do things that are appropriate for a society ruled by law. Don't you worry.”

The system didn't have a chance to worry.

The accident came before the plan.

***

The man planned to go home overnight.

He didn't recognize Shen Weidi, nor did he recognize Wanshu Zu.

He thought they were helpers Qiao Tian had found.

After he came to his senses, he began to deceive himself, thinking that he was so scared he had pissed his pants just because he was tired from the journey and outnumbered.

This was a society ruled by law.

How could anyone have absolute power?

When he brought his brothers from his hometown, it wouldn't matter how many people Qiao Tian found to back her up.

He was her father.

How could a daughter not be a beast of burden for her father!

The man was injured and smelled of alcohol.

He had come by car and didn't dare to take the highway, afraid of being caught for drunk driving, so he could only search for small inter-city roads.

The car was speeding, and the man was in a state of shock and uncertainty.

While driving on the inter-city road at night, he hit a guardrail on a sharp turn, and finally slid down a steep slope, crashing onto a rock.

The man wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

His head hit the crumbling car frame directly.

After being sent to the hospital, he was diagnosed with hydrocephalus.

During the rescue, they called his family.

Qiao Tian's phone was in Wanshu Zu's hands.

He had been dealing with Qiao Tian's neighbors all night with Xu Qiqi and Gu An.

When he received the call, the man was not out of danger yet.

Wanshu Zu was silent for a while, asked for the hospital's location, and said he would come to pay the medical expenses.

He returned to the house and told Qiao Tian about it.

Qiao Tian was stunned, as if she had lost her soul.

She fumbled in her bag for her ID card and a notebook, then asked Wanshu Zu for her phone back and went online to check how to write a formal power of attorney.

After writing it, she signed her name, tore off the single page, and handed it to Wanshu Zu along with her ID card and phone.

With her head down, she said in a hoarse voice: “I'm sorry…”

Wanshu Zu took the things and gently patted her on the head.

Qiao Tian suddenly burst into tears with a loud "waa."

Shen Weidi was leaning against the table.

Xu Qiqi asked him to help pass the tissues.

Qiao Tian squatted on the ground crying, her eyes unable to open.

She grabbed a tissue, and in doing so, pulled Shen Weidi's hand along with it, smearing tears and snot all over his hand.

Shen Weidi was extremely annoyed, not knowing what she was crying for, but he didn't shake her hand off and leave.

The two managers went about their own business again.

Gu An was at the program team asking to delete the footage.

The two of them had to go to the traffic bureau and the hospital to handle various matters, and also had to monitor public opinion online.

And so, the two reliable people left Qiao Tian and the unreliable Shen Weidi here.

Qiao Tian's outburst was quick, and she composed herself just as quickly.

Shen Weidi didn't look at her, but stared at the floor by the door.

The fragments of the glass cup that Qiao Tian had smashed were scattered everywhere.

A few pieces had flown to the side of the door.

The door had been opened and closed a few times, and the glass fragments had been crushed to dust.

“Have you had dinner yet?”

Shen Weidi said after the crying stopped.

Qiao Tian kept her head down and didn't answer, but her stomach growled.

Shen Weidi got up from the table: “I haven't eaten either. Let's go eat together.”

Qiao Tian didn't look up, her words punctuated by three hiccups from crying: “Xi Qiqi said I was filmed very ugly and I need to lose weight.”

Shen Weidi was dismissive: “What the hell does he know? Even if you lose weight, you'll still look ugly on camera.”

Qiao Tian glared at Shen Weidi.

Her eyes were still moist, and Shen Weidi almost thought she was going to burst into tears again, but the next second, Qiao Tian managed to stand up: “A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory.”

Shen Weidi added: “Wanshu Zu won't abandon you.”

He pulled the hood of his sweatshirt down, covering half his face.

His lips were drawn into a straight line, and his voice was just as straight.

“You should be secretly happy. He gave up on me, gave up on Li Yamin, but he never gave up on you. If it weren't for the age difference and the lack of resemblance, I would have thought you were his illegitimate daughter.”

Qiao Tian really wanted to curse him.

This person really couldn't read the room.

He had no idea what to say and when to say it, or rather, he didn't care at all.

He was the epitome of doing whatever he wanted.

Shen Weidi: “But I kind of understand why he likes you now.”

He looked at Qiao Tian, his eyes slightly lowered under the brim of his hood, “I never thought about running away, and neither did Li Yamin.”

Qiao Tian: “What are you two running from? If you don't work hard, you'll go home and inherit a billion-dollar fortune? Are you crazy to run away?”

After she said that, Qiao Tian realized that she seemed to have been infected too, becoming a person who couldn't read the room and was full of aggression.

Because at that moment, Shen Weidi's face was paler than hers.

It had turned pale in an instant.

Like a glass with a hole in the bottom, you have to keep adding juice to it to barely keep it full.

And at this moment, the supply was cut off.

The beautifully colored juice continuously leaked out from the hole at the bottom, leaving only an empty, broken glass.

Qiao Tian sniffled, let her hair down, tied it up again, and put on the baseball cap on the side.

“What are we eating? I don't have my phone or any cash. You owe me three million, you're treating.”

In the middle of the night, Shen Weidi was unfamiliar with the area.

Qiao Tian took him to a roadside night stall and ordered spicy crayfish.

Shen Weidi complained that it was dirty and said Qiao Tian was trying to harm him.

Qiao Tian rolled her eyes, put on a pair of plastic gloves, and didn't care whether he ate or not.

“And then Qiao Tian started crying again in the middle of it, without making a sound. She was stuffing crayfish into her mouth while tears streamed down her face.”

The system was very worried, “Isn't Little Qiao's state a bit abnormal… and if she gets photographed, then…”

“Then it will increase the workload for Xu Qiqi and Gu An.” Chu Zu said.

Little yellow chicken: “…”

“And if the two of them get photographed and have a short essay written about them, they can personally go on their main accounts on Weibo the next day and curse each other out. Except for not using swear words, they will say the most unpleasant things they can.”

Little yellow chicken: “I thought the two of them had reconciled…”

“Reconciliation is when both sides have problems and then make up. Qiao Tian did nothing wrong, Shen Weidi didn't apologize, and he has a dog's temper. What's there to reconcile?”

Little yellow chicken said hesitantly: “The world of young people is so complicated.”

It remembered the man still lying in the hospital, “Are we really going to pay his medical bills? I think he deserves it.”

If it didn't know that the host really hadn't had time to do anything, Little yellow chicken would have really thought this was the host's handiwork.

“Look on the bright side, he saved us a lot of steps. And as long as he's hospitalized, he probably won't be getting out.”

Chu Zu said, “This part would be pretty good in the main text too. It teaches us not to drink and drive, and not to drive and drink. Traffic safety starts with you and me.”

Chu Zu had no intention of talking to Qiao Tian about her family problems.

He hadn't planned to talk to Shen Weidi about his either before.

It was only because he was too close to his family, and it was useful when cursing people, that he briefly mentioned it.

Helping to solve it was impossible.

Young people's problems should be sorted out by young people themselves.

At most, he would lend a hand when he had time.

Family problems could be said to be one of the most difficult problems to solve.

It's difficult for outsiders to intervene.

Either a new family member comes to interfere after marriage, or one has to slowly find a way out of the nightmare on their own.

Because the incident happened at night, the program team was working overtime in a meeting, reviewing the previous filming content and communicating the next day's filming arrangements.

When Gu An arrived, no one had seen the footage yet.

Gu An talked with the director and producer, and after making some concessions, he got the master tape.

The seriously injured man was pulled back from the brink of death by the doctors.

After a few days in the hospital, he was transferred to a sanatorium——commonly known as a mental hospital.

He completely met the criteria of the "Mental Health Act," posing a threat to the safety of others, a threat to his own safety, and lacking the ability to judge the consequences of his own actions or to take care of himself.

Gu An submitted the footage of him going crazy at Qiao Tian's house that day to a psychiatrist.

Qiao Tian, as a direct relative, cooperated by testifying.

It was a small, private hospital in a remote area to begin with, and it didn't provide additional services.

The money paid by the family was all used for hospitalization fees and medicine fees.

Correspondingly, there were fewer procedures.

Just as Chu Zu said, as long as he was hospitalized, he probably wouldn't be getting out.

As the filming was about to end, the New Year was also approaching.

Li Yamin had returned to the country.
