Two days have passed since the hostage incident.

Police tape has been put up again on the commercial street in the east of the city, and filming of "The Dark Detective" has resumed.

Two more security guards have appeared at the entrance of the bank next door, the glass doors have been replaced with new ones, and a patrol car is parked at the street corner.

There were quite a few people in the stage setting hall.

The lighting crew was adjusting the lights, the production crew was patching up bullet holes in the wall, and the art crew was squatting on the ground repairing the prop door that Lu Yuan had kicked in.

Someone stepped in through the door, carrying a thermos and a cat carrier; it was Lu Yuan, who had arrived right on time.

The entire film crew turned off their own volume.

Chen Xing was just rehearsing his lines with the extras, but as soon as he saw Lu Yuan, his back automatically straightened up.

Good morning, Teacher Lu!

As soon as he spoke, the people next to him realized what was going on.

Good morning, Teacher Lu!

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Lu!"

"Teacher Lu looks great today!"

Liang Yu stood up from behind the monitor, and Lao Mai put down his script. Even the props team leader, whose door hinge had been broken by Lu Yuan, moved half a step to the side with his toolbox to make way for him.

Lu Yuan looked at everyone, "...You don't need to do this."

Chen Xing: "Of course."

An extra next to him whispered, "Treatment like a savior."

The sixth brother yawned inside, showing absolutely no interest in such human etiquette.

Two days have passed, and although everyone says they're going back to work, their bodies still haven't fully recovered from what happened.

Seeing Lu Yuan is like seeing his savior!

Lu Yuan walked to his rest area and stopped.

His folding chair was so polished it was practically reflective.

The small table was covered with things.

Thickened silicone thermos coaster, made with Ningxia wolfberry, dried tangerine peel and Pu'er tea, and wild ginseng rootlets.

There was also a sticky note next to it.

[Teacher Lu, staying up late is bad for your health, you should take some supplements. —Lighting Team]

[Thank you for your help. The coaster is non-slip, inexpensive, please don't return it. —Recording Team]

Lu Yuan picked up the goji berries and looked at them.

"You guys..."

The stagehand stood ramrod straight. "Teacher Lu, this is a small token of everyone's appreciation."

Lu Yuan put the goji berries back. "Don't buy such expensive ones next time. Goji berries are fine even after being steeped three times."

Stagehand: "..."

Old Mai coughed beside him, "That's an experienced saying."

Lu Yuan sat down and placed the thermos cup steadily on the new coaster.

The coaster is really good, he's very satisfied!

I was just about to put the cat carrier at my feet when the entrance to the film set went quiet again.

Song Ze arrived, followed by two assistants, pushing a small cart covered with a cloth.

The extras' eyelids twitched; what kind of trouble was this guy up to now?

Song Ze obediently pushed the cart to Lu Yuan and said, "Teacher Lu."

Lu Yuan looked up.

Song Ze lifted the cloth off the cart, revealing a small mountain of debris inside.

Imported staple food canned food, freeze-dried raw meat and bones, boxes of premium cat treats, and several bags of low-temperature baked cat food.

Song Ze stood up straight and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

"Teacher Lu, you saved my life that day."

He spoke very loudly, as if afraid that no one in any corner would be able to hear him.

"I was ignorant before, causing trouble for the crew and offending you. From now on, I, Song Ze, will do anything you say."

The personal assistant also bowed.

No one laughed.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan that day, it's hard to say whether Song Ze would still be around.

Lu Yuan looked at the cart of cat food.

Frankly, he didn't have a good impression of Song Ze.

He was always making a scene, putting on airs, and wildly swinging a prop gun around, almost getting himself killed.

He was prepared to refuse.

There should be clear boundaries between people. Helping someone is a simple act, but accepting a gift can easily lead to complications.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to speak, a loud noise came from the cat carrier.

The zipper was pushed open from the inside.

Old Six, like an orange fleshy bomb, pounced into the cart.

It grabbed a can of staple food, sniffed it, then pressed down on the freeze-dried bag with one paw, and looked up at Song Ze and barked.

"Meow--"

The tone is ridiculously soft!

Chen Xing was stunned. "Did it just pinch me?"

Song Ze was flattered: "I'm glad you like it, Sixth Brother! I'll send it to you every week from now on!"

The sixth brother rubbed his head against the back of his hand on the spot.

Lu Yuan looked at his cat and said, "You need to have some principles."

The sixth brother held the can of food and ignored him.

Lu Yuan remained silent for a few seconds, swallowing back his words of refusal.

"I'll take the things. I'll transfer the money to you."

Song Ze waved his hand: "No need, really no need!"

Lu Yuan looked at him.

Song Ze immediately changed his mind: "Then...at the wholesale price?"

Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay."

Song Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

The crew looked at Lao Liu on the cart, then at Song Ze, their expressions complex.

......

A discreet van pulled up outside the film set.

The car door opened, and Lin Wanwan got out, followed by her assistant Xiao Ju and staff carrying a huge insulated aviation container.

"Teacher Lu."

Lin Wanwan approached and said, "I heard something happened on set, so I came to check on things. I also brought some seafood sashimi to help everyone calm down."

Several insulated boxes were placed on the ground, with cold chain seals affixed to the boxes.

Bluefin tuna, botan shrimp, sea urchin, Arctic surf clam.

A bunch of people on set had their eyes light up.

At the same time, a police car arrived outside the cordon.

Jiang Yan, dressed in a police uniform, brought in two officers.

She's here today to go through the formal procedures.

The crime scene was re-examined, and safety hazards at entrances, exits, fire exits, and temporary structures were checked. Evidence that was missed the day before was also verified.

As soon as she entered the hall, she saw Lin Wanwan standing next to Lu Yuan.

Lin Wanwan also saw her.

One was dressed in a sharp police uniform, the other in a soft white dress.

The two stood next to the flight case, the atmosphere not quite suitable for drinking tea.

"Miss Lin."

Lin Wanwan turned around, "Captain Jiang."

Both of them were so polite that it sent chills down the spines of those around them!

Jiang Yan glanced at the insulated box. "Public figures should report in advance if they appear in the aftermath of a crime scene. This area is still being re-examined; we don't want to introduce any variables into the investigation."

Lin Wanwan lowered her head and smiled, still looking as delicate as ever.

"I asked the producer, and the crew resumed work today. I felt I should come in person to do him a favor."

Jiang Yan glanced at her, "Thanks are fine, but safety is also important."

Lin Wanwan nodded, "I will be careful. No need for Captain Jiang to worry."

The air is starting to become unsuitable for working people to breathe.

Chen Xing hid his face in the corner with the script, desperately trying to wink at Zhao Xiao.

Zhao Xiao gave him a look: Don't look at me, I'm scared too.

Old Mike stood behind the monitor, lowering his voice: "This is even scarier than a robber entering the venue!"

Before the air could catch its breath, the sound of high heels came from outside again.

Su Qinghan arrived, accompanied by two tea break cases carried by staff. She was there to check on Lu Yuan's return to work and to deliver some gifts to the crew.

Upon entering, one would see female police officers and female celebrities already standing on either side of Lu Yuan's rest area.

Su Qinghan paused for half a second, then walked over.

"Team Leader Jiang, Miss Lin."

Her voice dominated the entire room.

"I appreciate your concern for Lu Yuan. Now that the film crew has resumed work, I will make sure he is well taken care of and safe. I thank you both on his behalf for your concern."

Very skillful; it both conveyed the sentiment and drew a clear line.

The entire film set, including the corners, was completely silent.
