“Are their injuries serious?” 

“No, it’s not too serious, but they can’t dance for the next few days.” 

“Mmm, that’s good enough.” 

Gu Yanshu stood up. 

Shen Jue immediately pressed him down, “Where do you think you’re going?”

“The recording studio.” 

“Why are you going to the recording studio now?” Shen Jue was frustrated to see how weak and pale he was, so he said, “I’ll help you settle the issue with your performance. I know a professional dance group, so long as I pay them more, they should be able to come by Saturday. Now, you just need to go to the hospital.” 

“There’s no need for that,” Gu Yanshu pushed Shen Jue’s hand away and said, “I’ll deal with it myself.”

It was as though he was declaring a battle against his helpless past.

Shen Jue’s heart softened, and he released his hand and said quietly, “Fine. We’ll deal with that first, and then we’ll go to the hospital, alright?” 

“Mm.” 

Gu Yanshu wrapped himself tightly in his jacket, then alighted from the car. 

His slender figure quickly vanished from sight. 

He proved the point that five years was a very long time. Maknae Gu from the past, who only knew how to tug the corner of his shirt and look at him with bloodshot eyes, had now become an adult who would stand his own ground. 

Shen Jue looked in the direction where Gu Yanshu had disappeared, and smiled. 

Then, he took out his phone and made a call. He said lazily, “Hey, Brother. It’s nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that I can’t stand the sight of Ding Yun and Chen Ran from your company.” 

He had never been a gentleman, and would never talk about righteousness and loyalty. 

He was just protective of his own, and he would do all he could to protect them. 

He hung up after saying that.

He suddenly recalled that Gu Yanshu’s taste buds would turn bitter whenever he was having a cold, so he went to the convenience store down the road and bought him a box of milk candies. 

When Gu Yanshu returned to the studio, the entire place was in a mess.

The stage producer was already running around in a frenzy, and when he saw Gu Yanshu, he rushed up and said, “Teacher Gu, I’m really sorry. We really didn’t expect this to happen.” 

The ones who suffered the most in such incidents were not the celebrities, but the production team. After all, they had to pay for the damages, and any accidents might affect the reputation of the production crew. 

Gu Yanshu also believed that the production crew did not know anything about it, or at least most of them did not. He did not make things difficult for them, and simply said, “It’s fine, so long as the people aren’t badly injured.” 

“Yes, even if you say that, but there are two lead dancers who will miss the show, and the replacements will need to rehearse too. It’ll be hard to find someone at such short notice, and…” 

Gu Yanshu looked in the direction he was pointing at. 

The prop that could best present the concept of being imprisoned, the metal cage, was clearly destroyed and could not be used anymore. All of the various Baroque-styled props were also scattered all over the place, and the only thing that was not destroyed was the throne. 

If they were to prepare everything from scratch, it would require a lot more time. 

Also, the replacement dancers might not be able to rehearse in time, and his performance might be worse off with dancers who were not familiar with the performance. 

He turned to look at the lead producer of the show and said, “Can we speak privately?” 

The producer nodded his head, “Sure.” 

The two of them found an isolated place. 

Gu Yanshu said calmly, “The ones who are directly affected by this incident is the production crew, but it also affects the entire team’s efforts. I hope that the production team can save a copy of the surveillance cameras from every direction, so that we can identify the perpetrator. My manager will also come here in a while to make a copy of the footage.

Gu Yanshu might have said it politely, but both of them were in the industry for so long, so naturally the producer could also hear the meaning behind his voice. The producer was also careful about offending this popular celebrity. 

Hence, the producer guaranteed, “Teacher Gu, the production team will definitely give you an objective and just investigation outcome.” 

“Mm,” Gu Yanshu nodded, his voice distant yet warm, “I hope that the production team can also keep this under wraps for now. At the very least, don’t reveal it before the competition has ended.”
