Chi Ye scanned the various trending topics that almost dominated the hot search list, as well as the "explosive" pop-ups on Douyin, Kuaishou, Toutiao, and other apps. He immediately realized that this matter had blown up, and Shi Jinwei, one of the Four Little Ones, had indeed had an "accident."

He was taken aback, but quickly recovered, his brow furrowing: "What happened to her? Is she alright?"

"How could you suddenly... suddenly faint while recording a program?"

"She's in great physical condition."

Chi Ye thought of the ambiguous smile on Sister Pliers' face at the Treasure Island Hotel, and the "aloof" little face at the premiere of "The Boss" that only raised her chin at him from afar.

He felt a subconscious sense of irritation and worry—was Sister Pliers considered his friend?
"...I'm investigating, Brother Chi, don't worry."

"I'm not worried... Since not too many were exposed, it should be fine... You should ask them."

cocoa:"……"

She took her phone and went outside. Ten minutes later, she came back in, her expression complicated: "I found out, she is indeed hospitalized now."

Ikeno raised an eyebrow: "What happened? Did you eat something bad?"

"I couldn't get through to her assistant by phone, so I asked a few other friends in the industry... and also inquired with Hunan TV. Hmm... it's a bit complicated. Shall we go check on her first?"

Chi Ye was taken aback, realizing that things were probably worse than he thought. He glanced down at Teacher Shi's "Manchu Han Imperial Feast," told Xiao Liu to take it, and then asked, "Is she hospitalized in the capital?"

"Yes, it's not far from us."

Coco nodded.

"Let's go then."

Ikeno didn't say anything more. He simply postponed his work for two afternoons and then took his team to a well-known private hospital.

……

at the same time.

During the recording of a TV program, a pretty girl with a pure and innocent appearance was holding a phone and hurriedly explaining to the person on the other end: "I really just wanted to teach her a lesson... I didn't expect her health to be so poor, she just... fainted... Baby, I really didn't mean to."

"Stupid! Utterly stupid!! Do you think she won't investigate this? You want to go in?!"

On the other end of the phone, a man's angry voice rang out: "I told you long ago, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. The company has already started promoting you. With me here, are you afraid of not having resources? Why do you have to argue with her?"

The girl lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. "I... I just can't stand her arrogant attitude... What level has she achieved these past few years? She's surpassed her this summer, and I... she still treats me like dirt... And, are you still not over her? I'm just angry!"

"...You idiot! My dad's company still needs her to make money. By messing with her like this, aren't you messing with our family?!"

The person on the other end didn't directly answer the question of whether they had given up or not, but simply cursed in exasperation, "You'd better get ready... to apologize, and cancel this variety show too..."

"Why should I apologize? What did I do wrong? It was her own food, what does it have to do with me? Who knew she was so fragile, having an allergic reaction so easily?"

Upon hearing that she had to apologize to Shi Jinwei, the girl immediately bristled. She glanced around and lowered her voice, "Besides... I really didn't do this, otherwise why would I dare to stay here? I did have this thought, but... I didn't have time to do it."

The man was taken aback, his expression one of surprise and doubt: "Really not you?"

"No, that's not it." The girl said anxiously, "Then... everyone around her knows she has this problem, the crew and other guests know it too... I've heard that Zhang Guowen is very interested in her, and she likes to act aloof, do you think Zhang Guowen will put up with her?"

"You mean... Zhang Guowen did this?!"

The man was stunned.

"I was just giving an example. Who knows who it is? She offends so many people..."

The girl pleaded, "I really need this resource, baby... please help me, okay?"

"...As long as you didn't do it, it's fine. We won't be able to find it on us."

The man calmed down, paused for a moment, and then reminded her, "But you should also keep a low profile lately, and try not to interact with her on the show."

"Okay, I got it." The girl smiled and blinked. "By the way, I heard that Chi Ye..."

……

Hospital, Department of Gastroenterology, Inpatient Department.

Fully armed, Chi Ye glanced at the quiet ward corridor, then at the department, and muttered, "Did they eat something bad? Food poisoning?"

"...Brother Chi, shall we go in?"

Coco looked into the distance.

There were quite a few people standing in the corridor outside a hospital ward; they were probably all from Shi Jinwei's team and company.

"Let's go. Sister Shang just told me she left."

Coco paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

The two walked towards the ward.

The people on the other side immediately noticed the two's "strange behavior," and they all stood up on high alert. Two security guards even blocked their way: "Excuse me, this is..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ikeno had already taken off her mask.

The security guard was stunned.

"You are……"

Everyone around them gaped.

"Brother Chi?!"

Shi Jinwei's assistant was startled when she saw Chi Ye, then gestured for the security guards and other staff to make way before walking up to Chi Ye and saying, "Brother Chi, you're here."

"Ah."

Chi Ye nodded, noticing that his usually lively assistant had slightly red and swollen eyes. He wanted to ask, but felt it wasn't appropriate for the occasion: "Is she still alive? Can we go in and check on her?"

Assistant: "...Come with me."

She turned around, then suddenly remembered something, and turned back to the others seriously, saying, "Everyone, just pretend you didn't see anything... keep your mouths shut."

Everyone: "..."

Chiye: "...No need."

"Brother Chi, this is for your own good."

After the assistant finished speaking in a low voice, she led Chi Ye and Coco into the ward.

Sister Pliers was staying in a VIP single room. The environment in the ward was quite nice, but it was quiet at the moment.

Chi Ye leaned over and saw a beautiful figure lying on the hospital bed. Half of the familiar face was wrapped in gauze, but even through the gauze, the brilliance and beauty of her sapphire blue eyes could not be hidden.

She was listlessly trying to sit up and move around when she suddenly met Ikeno's gaze.

Sister Pliers: “?!”

Ikeno tilted his head and exclaimed in surprise, "Role-playing?"

"You...why are you here?"

Shi Jinwei, however, did not notice Chi Ye's teasing attempt to ease the tension. After speaking in a panic, she instinctively covered her face and said, "Get out! Get out now!"

Chiye was stunned.

"I told you to get out!!"

The usually stubborn Pliers Sister's voice even sounded a little tearful at this moment.

Chiye: "..."

He paused for two seconds, then turned and walked out.

“Pond…”

The assistant opened her mouth.

"It's okay, she's probably not just being stubborn this time, she really doesn't want me to see her like this."

Ikeno is blunt.

Assistant: "..."

The group went to the outer room, and the assistant closed the door. Chi Ye then gestured for Coco to sit down, and then looked at the assistant: "Is it convenient... to talk?"

The assistant paused for two seconds before saying, "...Sister Shi was murdered."

Chino blinked: "You were secretly given drugs?"

"...No, it's an allergic reaction."

Chino asked in confusion, "Shouldn't people with allergies go to the dermatology or allergy department? Why... are they hospitalized in the gastroenterology department?"

The assistant paused for two seconds before saying in a low voice, "Sister Shi is afraid there's something else inside, so she insists on having her stomach pumped..."

Chiye was silent.

Coco asked in surprise, "Uh...something else?"

The assistant thought for a moment, weighed the relationship between Chi Ye and Shi Jinwei, and then said, "Sister Shi was 'ambushed' a few times before... before she became famous and when she first became famous. Every time she realized something was wrong after drinking, she would come to have her stomach pumped... Later she had experience and could smell it."

Coco remained silent.

Shi Jinwei is indeed different from other top-tier actresses. This summer, no one dared to "covet" her. Sheng Ning had already endured all sorts of underhanded tactics and suffered countless grievances before finally achieving some success. Sister Shang is very smart, and since the company isn't large, they cherish her. She never forces herself... To put it bluntly, if it doesn't work out, she'll just quit; nobody can make her suffer!

Only Shi Jinwei is currently in an "awkward period." She has neither background nor connections, and has only gotten to where she is today through luck and sheer willpower. Moreover, her company is Taiyang Entertainment, a top entertainment company in China that is no less powerful than Yuena.

Therefore, her resources have always been the worst among the four, and her usual working environment is also "very poor".

She... is probably equivalent to Sheng Ning a few years ago, but Sheng Ning had enough ability, shrewdness, and luck to become a force in the drama industry. Can she do that?
"Who is it? So mean."

Chino touched the thermos and found that the food inside had gotten a little cold.

"……do not know."

Chi Ye looked at her: "Don't know, or are you afraid to say?"

Assistant: "I really didn't know this time. Sister Shi usually... offends quite a few people."

"Then I believe you."

Ikeno nodded without hesitation, then stood up: "Let's go see her again, I have to go back now."

The assistant was taken aback and quickly stood up.

Ikeno has already returned to the ward.

Ever since spotting Ikeno, Pliers-chan, who had been facing away from the door and looking out the window, was tense and tentatively asked, "Who's there?"

"Who? Are you playing spy games here?"

Chino was speechless: "Do you want me to give you a secret code?"

Pliers Sister paused, then gritted her teeth: "...Why haven't you left yet?!"

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now."

As Chi Ye spoke, he put down the thermos. Pincer Sister secretly glanced at him, her heart immediately racing. She couldn't quite describe the feeling, but her tone softened inexplicably: "You..."

“But I came to see you without eating, and now it’s almost cold. Do you have a microwave and hot water here? I’ll eat before I leave, otherwise I’ll have to reheat it when I get back.”

Ikeno had already seen the microwave oven, so he went over and threw all the food he had brought inside.

Shi Jinwei: "..."

You bastard, you're dead!
ten minutes later.

In front of Sister Pliers, Chi Ye slurped down the food that Teacher Shi had prepared—the more he ate, the more delicious it became, because he discovered that Teacher Shi's tastes were actually quite similar to his own. There was even dessert after the meal, which was his favorite blueberry and lime.

Shi Jinwei initially thought that Chi Ye was teasing her on purpose again, but when she saw that Chi Ye was actually showing off in front of her, she was a little stunned.

The main thing was listening to the sounds of people eating heartily around me and smelling the aroma of the food – Teacher Shi's cooking skills are really good, it smells so good.

Her already weak body started rumbling in her stomach.

She is hungry too.

"Ok?"

Chino paused, then looked up: "Hungry?"

Shi Jinwei said expressionlessly, "I'm not hungry at all."

"Oh."

Chi Ye nodded, thought for a moment, and then suggested, "Don't be stubborn. If you're hungry, just order takeout. It's healthier."

Shi Jinwei chuckled, speechless. "Haha."

"So happy?"

Chi Ye put away her chopsticks, stood up with satisfaction, and said, "I'm glad you're happy. If you're happy, I'll head back now."

“…Ikeno, you’re not a human being.”

Chiye: "?"

"you go."

Shi Jin's face was slightly cold: "Don't let me see you again."

Chi Ye glanced at her a few times, but didn't seem to care: "Then take good care of yourself... take good care of your health, goodbye."

"..."

Shi Jinwei didn't reply, but turned her back to Chi Ye's back and secretly glanced at his back.

And then...and then Ikeno really left.

"……Ha ha."

Shi Jinwei was even happier, so happy she almost cried. She hadn't felt this wronged even when she was sent to the hospital, but now she just felt terrible: "Chi Ye... you're not human, you have no heart at all... I'm already like this and you still treat me like this..."

Click.

The door was pushed open by the assistant, who peeked in and said, "Sister Shi, dinner is ready."

Shi Jinwei stopped a second later, her face cold: "I'm not hungry, I won't eat."

"Huh?" The assistant was taken aback, looking hesitantly at the bag in her hand: "Well... Brother Chi already bought it, it would be a waste not to eat it."

"?!"

Shi Jin glanced sideways and turned back: "Did Chi Ye buy it?"

"...It seems like it was specially done by a professional. It was done before you came, saying that you had just had your stomach cleansed and that your stomach wasn't good, so it was good for your stomach."

The assistant tentatively asked, "Then... should I share it with others?"

"...Let's break up."

Shi Jin nodded slightly.

The assistant stood still.

Shi Jin was slightly surprised: "Why aren't you moving?"

The assistant paused for two seconds before stammering, "I want to eat it, and I don't want anyone else to eat it."

Shi Jin suddenly realized: "Ah, you mean you... well, alright, since you want to eat it, of course I'll spoil you."

"...Sister, you're so good to me."

"Of course, you're my cousin."

"..."

……

Outside the hospital.

Chino got into the car: "Sigh, this pair of pliers... You know, her body is so unreliable."

Coco: "...Brother, why don't you go up and say it?"

"Never mind, I'm afraid it will drive her crazy."

Chi Ye thought for a moment and then asked, "Isn't this 'Unexpected Journey' the same as that new variety show on Mango TV?"

"Yes, Teacher Shi is in talks about becoming a regular cast member on that variety show... but we got word that they're fine with you becoming a regular cast member, but they want you to participate in one episode."

Chi Ye nodded: "Yes, I promised Teacher He."

"Then let's..."

"Check the schedule for me, I need to go... Hey, this travel variety show has overseas segments, right?"

Coco nodded: "Yes, they have them in the US and Europe."

"Let's pick an American one, so we can meet the team behind that sci-fi movie."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Coco nodded, and the car sped away.

……

The production team of the program "Unexpected Journey".

"Chiye agreed?! Great! We'll definitely prepare well. Thank you so much, Lao He! I'll definitely treat you to a meal later... I'll treat you to a year's worth of meals!"

The director hung up the phone excitedly, turned around and looked at the others who were looking at him expectantly, and confirmed: "Chino has agreed to be a guest star for one episode."

"..."

"Brilliant!"

"Wow, Professor Chi is coming! Oh my god, can I get his autograph?"

"I hope Zhao Tai won't do anything to me on the spot... I'm so excited."

"Director, you have amazing connections!"
