Chapter 378 Something happened again
The two actors from "The Divine Emperor's Way" were rescued for about three hours. The female lead was finally out of danger, while the male lead was moved to a special care ward and needed to be observed overnight.
Fang Li and Han Xi waited at the hospital until the two actors from Shenhuangdao were wheeled out of the operating room before leaving.
Shortly after the two left, several reporters in disguise sneaked into the hospital through the fire escape.
At that time, Shi Hang was listening to the doctor's orders in the ward when the ward door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Is this Fan Zhe's hospital room?"
Upon hearing Fan Zhe's name, Shi Hang subconsciously frowned, his expression wary: "Who are you people?"
Upon seeing Shi Hang's expression, the other party immediately realized that they had not gone to the wrong ward.
The next moment, before Shi Hang and the others could react, the people at the door pushed open the door and rushed in.
They somehow produced filming equipment and started filming Fan Zhe, who was unconscious on the hospital bed. Shi Hang and the other crew members in the ward reacted and rushed over to stop them.
"Who let you in! Get out!"
"No filming! No filming!"
"Entering someone else's hospital room is illegal. If you don't leave, we'll call the police!"
"......"
The reporters had already taken the footage they needed to. Hearing their clearly serious threats, they stopped pressuring and retreated with their help, still holding up their cameras to ask further questions.
"May I ask who you are on the production team of 'The Divine Emperor's Path'? What are your thoughts on this filming accident?"
"Given such a serious incident, how do you plan to explain this to the actors' families and the public?"
"Was the accident caused by substandard props or negligence on the part of someone? Does your production team have any explanation to offer?"
"........"
The more questions he was asked, the uglier Shi Hang's expression became.
"Our production team will issue an official response regarding this matter later. We will not be answering anything at this time. Please leave immediately!"
Why aren't you answering? Are you feeling guilty?
"An insider revealed that your production team used substandard safety equipment in order to save money, which led to the safety accidents of the two actors. Is this true?"
Shi Hang's expression changed drastically: "What insider information? What nonsense are you spouting!"
Several crew members also froze, all looking at Shi Hang.
"All the props and equipment used in our production have the relevant certifications. If you continue to spread such nonsense and slander against our production, you'll be in for a lawyer's letter!"

As these media reporters released photos and videos, the incident escalated that night, making headlines on several platforms.
Even some online video platforms are broadcasting this news extensively, and entertainment news influencers are forwarding and commenting on it one after another.
Some people believe that Xingyu Media is a startup with little strength, so they fabricate stories and use conspiracy theories, which are getting more and more outrageous.
Some people were more objective, stating the facts and saying that everything depends on how things develop.
Inside Xingyu, things were in complete chaos.
Everyone hadn't slept all night, their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked worried and helpless as they watched the situation unfold online.
Shi Hang stayed at the hospital all night. He had just returned to the company early in the morning and was still in a daze when he received a series of phone calls.
Most of these calls were from investors and partners.
They're either demanding compensation or requesting contract termination.
Shi Hang stood there blankly in the office for a long time, as if his soul had been ripped out, unable to utter a single word.
Sun Jin, clutching his hair, muttered to himself, "We're finished... The investors are withdrawing their funding, the actors are demanding compensation, and the crew loses millions every day they stop filming... If this continues..."
The consequences were obvious to both of them, and didn't need to be spoken.
"Did you pay attention to the wire stunt team and the safety equipment used on site, as Mr. Xu previously reminded you?"
Sun Jin sighed and said, "When you told me, the scene had already been almost completely destroyed. I went to find the wires the two of them used, but..."
"Didn't find it?" Shi Hang frowned.
Sun Jin paused for a moment, then nodded: "It must have been cleaned up by the prop master when he was cleaning up the scene. I've already told people to look for it, but there's no result yet."
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
"Skillful?" Sun Jin didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
Shi Hang recalled what Fang Li had said last night, and his expression became extremely serious.
"Does WAYA Company have a backup of its qualifications?"
Seeing his expression, Sun Jin's face also became somewhat serious.
"Yes, I remember that Ren Chao personally found him. Wait a moment, I'll go ask him."
Ren Chao is the head of the company's film crew and is also a classmate of the two men; they have a very good relationship.
Unlike Shi Hang and Sun Jin, Ren Chao is a native of Beijing. He has more connections in Beijing than they do, so when the film "The Legend of the Divine Emperor" was about to start production, Ren Chao was the one who went along to negotiate many of the investments and collaborations.
However, when Sun Jin went to find Ren Chao, the other people in the office said that he had been missing since last night and had not come to the company this morning.
Sun Jin immediately sensed something was wrong and went back to tell Shi Hang.
Shi Hang's face darkened, and he then told Sun Jin about Fang Li's reminder from the previous night.
"You mean someone was deliberately sabotaging this behind the scenes?" Sun Jin was completely stunned.
From the way things have developed, he never imagined that it wasn't an accident but that someone was actually tampering with things behind the scenes!
"Since its establishment, Xingyu has always been cautious and hasn't offended anyone. Who would want to do this to us?"
When it comes to this, Shi Hang is also completely baffled.
Starting a business together was already incredibly difficult for them, and even the TV series "The Way of the Divine Emperor" wouldn't have been possible without Mr. Xu's generous sponsorship. As for companies or individuals with whom they had conflicts of interest or other disputes...
The two of them racked their brains for a long time, but they really couldn't come up with a single answer.
However, at this very moment, another accident occurred.
The assistant rushed in, looking very upset, and said, "Mr. Shi! Ren Chao got into a fight and apparently injured someone. The other person called the police, and he's been arrested. The police station just called and asked our company's manager to come over!"
"What did you say?"
Shi Hang frowned deeply: "Who did he fight with?"
Sun Jin also suddenly looked up.
The assistant looked anxious and stammered, "It seems to be the person in charge from the wire harness company..."

Fang Li also didn't sleep well all night.
Because she always felt that this matter was not simple, she waited for news from Shi Hang in a half-dreaming, half-awake state.
As a result, nothing happened all night.
However, as soon as she arrived at the company, bad news came.
