Chapter 123: 123: Accident Scene

After a short while, Mu Nan, who stayed back with the film crew to handle the aftermath, arrived at the hospital as well.

"You came too?" He wasn’t surprised at all to see Jiang Nuo there.

"Yeah." Jiang Nuo proactively talked about Wei Manman’s condition, relaying what the doctors had previously informed them. If she could wake up before dawn, there was hope for recovery; if not, it was uncertain what would happen.

Mu Nan frowned, "Her agent mentioned this over the phone. They’ve already contacted her family. No matter what, the accident happened on my set. I’ll find a way to cover her medical expenses and any future arrangements..."

Indeed, if Wei Manman really couldn’t recover, he would be the one to bear the cost of her lifelong rehabilitation expenses.

He wasn’t afraid of spending the money; he was worried about how someone as proud as Wei Manman would react if she woke up and found that she could no longer act and had to spend her days lying in bed. She would certainly go crazy.

Putting himself in her shoes, if he ended up in her situation, he couldn’t handle it either. He loved directing so much, what meaning would life have if he could no longer make films in the future?

"But I’m more worried about what might happen when Manman wakes up..."

"I understand." Precisely because he understood, Jiang Nuo placed his last bit of hope on Mu Qiuniang.

His wife knew all sorts of mysterious skills, but he wasn’t sure if she had a way to help Wei Manman escape danger and stand up again. Would it bring trouble to his wife if she intervened?

Because of his hesitation, Jiang Nuo didn’t directly ask Mu Qiuniang to take a look at Wei Manman.

Of course, if he later saw on the internet a "missing person notice" looking for an unknown heroic woman who had saved a little girl from falling, and it turned out to be his own wife, he would be taken aback.

So, all his worries and anxieties were pointless?

His wife didn’t fear people discovering her extraordinary medical skills?

"How did the steel wire break? Is there any clue?" Jiang Nuo was still curious about this point. Clearly, all props undergo thorough checks before use, especially something as crucial as the steel wire.

How could anything have gone wrong with it?

"We’ve investigated. The head of the props team said he’d checked before, and the steel wire used was all brand new without any problems. But afterward, it surprisingly showed signs of aging... We’ve already reported it to the police, and they will handle the rest," Mu Nan said.

"I want to go to the site and take a look." Mu Qiuniang suddenly spoke up, having been silent until now.

"What do you want to see?" Mu Nan was very surprised. This seemingly delicate little woman was doted on by Jiang Nuo like a princess; why would she want to visit the accident site?

"Jiang Nuo’s luck hasn’t been the best lately, I want to verify something at the site." When she was present, nothing happened to Jiang Nuo, but as soon as she left, an accident occurred, making Mu Qiuniang somewhat suspicious.

Even carrying a lucky charm almost led to an accident; what if he didn’t have one...

"But the police have already sealed off the site..." Mu Nan hesitated, "Okay, later I’ll take you there and say I forgot something."

With Wei Manman in the ICU and so many people around, Mu Qiuniang found it inconvenient to approach Wei Manman. She could only use her spiritual power to check her condition and ensure there was no immediate danger.

She whispered to Jiang Nuo, "In a bit, I’ll give you a ’Revitalizing Pill,’ hand it to Manman’s agent to give to her as soon as she wakes up. We’ll come back later to check on her condition."

"Will she recover?"

"Don’t worry." Since she was intervening, what could possibly go wrong?

Entering the hospital had been easy, but exiting, as Lu Mingchen mentioned, not so much—fans and paparazzi gathered nearby when they got wind, ready to "catch" them.

"There’s paparazzi at the back door too; shall we have someone pretend to be Jiang Nuo to lead them away?" Lu Mingchen suggested.

"Who would you find to do that? Do you think they would fall for it?" Mu Nan asked, "These paparazzi not only have sharp noses but also sharp eyes."

"Aren’t you overthinking it? They didn’t come here for me. Don’t worry, I’ve always had good luck. As long as we keep it low-profile and move quickly, there’s nothing to worry about," Jiang Nuo was nonchalant. Though sometimes he encountered the paparazzi, it seemed his extraordinary luck often allowed him to easily shake them off whenever he wanted.

With what Jiang Nuo said, Lu Mingchen recalled Jiang Nuo’s incredible luck. Back in the day, when they and a lesser-known celebrity appeared at the airport simultaneously, the paparazzi only hounded the smaller star, while Jiang Nuo managed to escape easily.

Lu Mingchen still arranged for someone to impersonate Jiang Nuo to draw away the paparazzi.

And their luck was indeed exceptional; as they left the underground garage, not a person was in sight, and they successfully departed the hospital.

Jiang Nuo laughed, "See, I knew my luck was good!"

Sitting beside him, Mu Qiuniang remained silent. Would she actually say that it was due to her efforts?

Mu Nan and Lu Mingchen scoffed, "Tch!"

The night breeze blew gently, and street lights illuminated the way.

They didn’t drive directly into the filming location from earlier; parking wasn’t allowed there. They could only head to a nearby parking lot.

Before getting out of the car, Mu Qiuniang seemed to sense something and suddenly pulled out three Peace Knots, giving each a piece: "Wear it for safety."

"Sister-in-law Jiang, you really that superstitious?" Although he chuckled, Mu Nan still wore it. Movie productions have their opening ceremonies to honor deities or spirits, so he believed in it to some extent.

However, typically safety was ensured with talisman papers; it was his first time seeing knots used.

At the entrance, they encountered police officers stationed there. After Mu Nan negotiated with them, they entered the filming site. Since the caution tape was up and all staff had vacated, the area was somewhat dark without lights on.

Lu Mingchen shivered slightly as he walked in: "Don’t you feel a bit cold?"

Jiang Nuo, with his arm around his wife’s shoulder, replied, "Not at all."

Mu Nan sneered, "Of course not, you’re holding your wife."

"Jealousy, huh? Haven’t I told you? You should find a woman and get married, then you wouldn’t envy me," Jiang Nuo said smugly.

"Heh heh!" Mu Nan replied, "I have nothing to say to a wife-doting husband."

Mu Nan turned the lights on, revealing the site’s true state to everyone.

Due to the rush earlier in the day, apart from the area and props that were cordoned off due to the accident, everything else that could be tidied up had been, leaving the place a bit messy.

"The accident happened there," Mu Nan pointed to the area outlined in chalk.
