Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 55 - Injured

But in the end, facing Wu Yuerou and without the cameras rolling, she was still slightly more restrained in what she said.

Wu Yuerou struggled to get up from the bed, “I’ll go find the crew.”

…

After dinner, Ye Zhenzhen wanted to take Xiao Chen for a walk around the night market. She still had plenty of budget left and could buy quite a lot of things.

“You stop right there! Don’t run!”

This urgent voice came from another alley, and Ye Zhenzhen turned her head just in time to see a dark figure sprinting out.

[Damn! What’s happening? A robbery?]

[It’s really dangerous in this pitch darkness, Ye Zhenzhen, protect Xiao Chen well]

[Don’t worry, someone from the crew is around, maybe it’s just another scripted event]

[Scripted your sister!]

Ye Zhenzhen instinctively picked up Song Yuchen from the ground and stepped aside.

Previous experience had taught her that when faced with danger, especially an unknown danger while with a child, it was crucial to actively avoid it, or else it might be fatal…

“Hey! Pal, help me catch him, he’s a thief!” The woman who was running after the dark figure called out again.

“My bag is in his hands, help me!”

Ye Zhenzhen:?

She turned to look around and, besides the two cameraman brothers who were filming, there was no one else…

“Mommy! Mommy!” There was also a little baby following behind the woman, and from the looks of the little one’s shadow, it seemed about the same age as Xiao Chen…

Seeing that the dark figure was about to approach Ye Zhenzhen, a flicker of sympathetic kindness flashed through her mind. Since the other person was also a mother with a child, she decided to meddle this one time.

She put Xiao Chen aside and rushed over to grab the bag that the dark figure was holding.

But as a professional thief, having obtained something valuable, why would he give it up easily?

Just as Ye Zhenzhen was about to reach the bag, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared in the thief’s hand; a fruit knife was thrust straight toward Ye Zhenzhen’s arm…

The fright made the cameraman brother who was still filming behind her hurriedly drop his camera and go over with a kick at the man’s arm, causing the fruit knife to fall to the ground with a sharp and piercing noise.

The other cameraman brother also put down his camera to help, and the thief, being small in stature, was quickly subdued…

But Ye Zhenzhen wasn’t so lucky. Her right wrist had been slashed open by the assailant, and blood was streaming out.

Song Yuchen rushed to Ye Zhenzhen’s side, nearly in tears, “Mom, you, you’re bleeding a lot!”

“Mommy’s fine, don’t be afraid!” Ye Zhenzhen touched Song Yuchen’s head with her left hand, smiling as she comforted him.

Sigh! This is why one shouldn’t meddle in others’ business; in the end, she was the one who got hurt.

[What’s going on? Why did the screen go black? I just heard Xiao Chen say Ye Zhenzhen is bleeding a lot?]

[Did the cameraman brother go up to help?]

[Did they really encounter a thief?]

[My God, what’s happening, did Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen get hurt?]

[Can it be, got injured during a robbery while filming?]

After Ye Zhenzhen’s live stream went dark, the broadcast was interrupted.

The viewers from the live stream switched over to Weibo to start discussing the topic; eventually, the conversation turned into Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen getting robbed after having dinner, with both mother and son ending up injured, and Ye Zhenzhen losing consciousness.

This incident quickly climbed up Weibo’s trending searches:

#YeZhenzhenAndSonInjured#

#YeZhenzhenUnconsciousInterruptingFilming#

Director Fei and Xiaowen, who were in the production room, also rushed to the scene as soon as they saw what was happening. Director Fei called the police, and Xiaowen, upon seeing Ye Zhenzhen’s wounds, said anxiously, “Zhenzhen, you need to go to the hospital quickly, I’ll dial 120.”

“It’s faster to go directly to the hospital than to call 120 here. I’ll take her to the hospital. Here’s a scarf, wrap it around the wound to stop the bleeding.”

This voice belonged to the owner of the snatched bag, and standing beside her was a little boy about the same age as Song Yuchen.

Xiaowen took the Hermes scarf handed over by the woman, pausing with a slight change in expression; that scarf alone cost 30,000 yuan…

“What are you spacing out for, let me do it!” The woman took over when she saw Xiaowen moving slowly, assuming she was shocked by the injury on Ye Zhenzhen’s hand.

Ye Zhenzhen was also stunned. The perfume on the woman was very pleasant, and her movements in dressing the wound were skillful and decisive, clearly that of a strong, affluent woman.

After the woman finished bandaging Ye Zhenzhen, she sincerely said to her, “Thank you just now. This can only temporarily slow down the bleeding. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

…

Inside a high-class restaurant in Ancheng.

Song Jinze sipped his red wine, gently placing the glass back on the table, his dark eyes narrowing as he looked at the man sitting opposite him, his lips slightly moving, “President Cheng, offering 5 percentage points is already my utmost sincerity, there’s no point in continuing this discussion.”

The man known as President Cheng immediately smiled, “I feel that President Song’s sincerity isn’t enough. Honestly, I don’t find this very interesting either. 8 points, straight to the point, what do you think, President Song?”

Song Jinze’s lips curled slightly, and his handsome eyebrows raised. Before he could respond, Secretary Zhang approached with urgent steps, whispering into his ear, “President, your wife and young master are injured, now in Ancheng First Hospital.”

Song Jinze abruptly stood up, his lips turning downwards, “President Cheng, I don’t think much of 8 points. Since you’re not showing any sincerity, continuing this is just a waste of time for both of us. I’ll take my leave!”

The man also stood up, his words laced with a threatening tone, “President Song, today my offer of 8 points is already my greatest sincerity. If you want to talk again in the future, heh, it should start at no less than 12 points…”

“There won’t be a next time!”

With those words, Song Jinze left the restaurant without looking back, his strides long and swift.

Once in the car, Song Jinze’s brows were tightly furrowed. He asked Secretary Zhang, “What exactly happened?”

Secretary Zhang first instructed the driver with the location, then replied to Song Jinze, “I saw a trending news item on Weibo about the madam and the young master being injured. I called the production team and found out that they’re at the first hospital.”
