Chapter 183

After much hesitation.

Li Luo felt he couldn't look sickly in front of the media.

Although his body was uncomfortable, he still changed into a suit to maintain a good public image.

Under the flashing lights.

He shook hands with Zhao Qiang and walked to the podium to stand firm.

"Hello everyone."

Adjusting the microphone, Li Luo said in a deep voice: "Regarding last night's incident, Director Zhao has already made it very clear just now, so I won't repeat it. I am very grateful for the efforts made by the Chaoyang Branch for this."

"Being able to round up the criminals so quickly is enough to prove the combat effectiveness of our police officers."

"With such a group of guardians, I live very solidly in Jingcheng."

"And very at ease."

"For this reason."

Li Luo looked to the side with a slight smile and continued into the microphone: "I announce here that I will donate 300,000 yuan to the Heroic Martyrs Foundation to thank them for their hard work in guarding us."

"Thank you all, you've worked hard!"

Looking at his outstretched hand, Director Zhao shook it with a face full of joy.

A classy person!

Not only saying good things but also giving a big gift.

Smashing 300,000 yuan right away, the hard work of running around all night yesterday suddenly vanished.

This was a subsidy fund for families of those disabled in the line of duty.

In fact, the vast majority of grassroots staff were ordinary people working diligently to support their families. The Heroic Martyrs Foundation could be considered to solve some of their worries.

This donation move was a great kindness to them.

"Snap~"

Officer Lin, standing at the side door, was the first to clap her hands.

Inside the press hall.

Applause swept toward the podium.

The police and the people being as close as fish and water was absolutely correct; no one would refuse to give positive encouragement at this time.

Li Luo also had his own considerations.

Although spending hundreds of thousands couldn't buy food or clothes, it could gain great favor in this group and also reduce the negative image brought by this incident. This money was spent very worthily.

In the morning.

He asked Wu Yu to inquire about the situation online.

Basically, everyone was curious about the cause of the incident and concerned about his skills, but there were also some voices criticizing him for being too violent.

Once the news report came out, coupled with the charitable donation act.

He believed it would neutralize the image.

Next, the press conference continued, and reporters threw questions one by one toward the podium.

Li Luo and Zhao Qiang responded separately. Those that could be answered positively were answered positively, and those that felt difficult were directly thrown into the frame of case confidentiality.

Ten minutes later.

The press conference finally ended.

As the reports were reprinted on the internet, the questions that had been held back for a long time were finally answered.

Seeing the photos of those guns and knives, netizens were almost stunned. The grenades made them shout "crazy"; they didn't expect Li Luo to be dealing with such a group of hardened criminals.

Some netizens previously joked about whether the people beaten by Li Luo were bean sprouts.

Now they all shut their mouths completely.

They were all criminals with previous records and were holding heavy firepower.

Who would dare to doubt that those people were not capable?

Now they just felt that Li Luo was too capable!

Anyone else would have been blind.

Everyone knew that those people were holding either guns or knives, and stomping hard on others' hands was also because the robbers still wanted to pick up the guns.

The discussion of violence dissipated.

Facing the threat of a gun barrel, it was good enough to survive.

At the same time, they were curious about who the actor surnamed Zhang who luckily escaped was. Various speculations emerged one after another. The heat of the incident did not decrease, but it did not develop in an unreliable direction anymore.

There was no conspiracy involved; it was purely a few hardened criminals wanting to make some quick money.

As a result, they were kicked away.

The released video clips gained Li Luo a wave of fans.

Among young actors, his status was not the highest.

But the heat.

Definitely beat his competitors in the same ecosystem.

But now.

Li Luo had no heart to pay attention to those things.

After he returned to the hospital.

He suddenly felt his head was huge.

Friends who received the news came to visit one after another. All kinds of flowers were piled up everywhere, and the fruit bought probably couldn't be finished in a month.

These were all small things.

He looked to the left; Gao Yuanyuan, Bian Xiaoxiao, and Jia Jingwen were lined up.

And on the right.

Xu Qing and Yu Feihong also sat steadily.

Wang Fei and Na Ying were not idle either.

Plus Wu Dun, Zhang Long, Wang Baoqiang, Jiang Yiyan, and a group of classmates in the class, the entire hospital room was almost stuffed with people.

But he was also fortunate.

It was good that enough people came.

Otherwise, if it were just those few women, some things might have been exposed. Big-name actors and singers arriving one after another to visit, and reporters who heard the news coming in even more, made the hospital security miserable.

The hospital room was also chattering, making Li Luo exhausted to cope.

He said one thing over and over again.

But seeing that he was indeed okay, everyone's hearts settled down.

Especially Wang Fei.

After returning last night, she fell into deep self-blame.

It could be considered a sleepless night.

Now seeing Li Luo was fine, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

During the conversation.

The door was knocked again.

Wu Yu, sitting by the door, hurriedly got up.

"Whoa~"

Zhang Guoli walked in holding flowers and scanned around in surprise: "People really came quite fully. If I didn't know, I would have thought it was some party."

"Teacher Guoli~~~"

The people in the hospital room stood up one after another, and various greetings rang out.

Li Luo's classmates were completely stunned, especially Jia Nailiang. He felt that his luck had been quite good during this period, and he had previously broadcast a costume drama with a very heavy role.

In the play, he even cooperated with Tang Guoqiang.

But compared to now.

It was nothing.

His old classmate still left him far behind in terms of both works and connections.

"Alright." Zhang Guoli put down the flowers and shook his head: "Just not seeing you for a dozen hours, you are really unlucky. By the way, who was the actor surnamed Zhang that the robbers were originally targeting?"

Everyone was an actor; who wasn't afraid of this kind of thing?

Once this was said.

The people in the hospital room all looked at Li Luo in unison; they had forgotten to ask this.

"What do you think."

Li Luo looked at him and grinned.

"Swish."

A dozen gazes fell on Zhang Guoli again in unison.

Making the latter shiver all over.

"No—no way."

He swallowed hard and pointed at himself: "It wouldn't be me, this actor surnamed Zhang, right?"

With his physique, if he were really targeted.

Who knows where he would be kidnapped to!

"Hmm."

Li Luo nodded and turned the subject when the other party was almost scared into a cold sweat: "It's your old partner, Teacher Zhang Tielin."

"What?"

"No way?"

"It's actually him!" Zhang Guoli made a gesture to slap Li Luo and shook his head with a sigh: "Alright, that guy will probably be so scared that he won't dare to go out for a week."

"Hmm."

Li Luo was also a bit dumbfounded and said helplessly: "They found out that Teacher Zhang Tielin often plays over there and originally wanted to make a move on him."

"As a result, one of them recognized me."

"So."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but laugh: "I got a dozen stitches here."

In the hospital room, you say one thing and I say another.

They chatted for a while longer.

"I won't disturb your rest." Wu Dun looked at his watch and then stood up: "You don't need to worry about the crew. Just get your injury healed first. I'll let Director Lai film other scenes first."

"Sorry."

Li Luo was very embarrassed: "I've added trouble to the crew."

"Don't say that."

Wu Dun patted the end of the bed, indicating it was nothing.

This matter gave him a fright. After waking up from a sleep, this guy actually ran to the hospital, which made him dumbfounded too.

With him taking the lead.

The others also realized that Li Luo needed rest.

They said goodbye and left one after another.

"Tsk."

Arriving at the parking lot, Zhang Long couldn't help but bite a cigarette and light it: "Boss, if we were caught in a pincer attack by one gunman and two knife-wielders at that time, what would you do?"

"Run."

Wu Dun took the betel nut and bit it hard.

"Damn it!"

He took out a handkerchief, spat out a mouthful of betel nut juice, and sighed: "But Li Luo didn't have a chance to run last night either. It's fortunate that the guy's eyes were sharp enough and his strikes were ruthless enough; otherwise, it's hard to say what the result would be."

"I guess many people will want to hire bodyguards in the coming period."

Jia Jingwen and a few others followed their footsteps unhurriedly a few meters behind.

Although they couldn't let go, they should go back to continue filming.

"If it were me, I'd have to run too." Zhang Long bit the filter hard and shook his head with a sigh: "When I returned to Wandao, I saw that his skills were good, but I didn't expect him to be able to do it to this extent."

"On the internet now, many people say that the video is just like a trailer for an action movie."

A casual sentence.

Made Wu Dun stop his steps quietly.

As the center point of this group, he stopped, and the others also stopped their steps one after another.

"A-Long."

Raising his hand to signal the few people behind not to come over, he took a few steps forward, bit the betel nut hard, and looked at his capable subordinate: "You said, is there any potential in making an action movie for Li Luo?"

Zhang Long fell into silence, thinking about the answer from the market perspective.

"There is potential."

A moment later, he nodded heavily: "The image is no problem, the skills are no problem, the market heat is no problem."

"The edited video clips from last night are everywhere now. At the very least, everyone knows Li Luo can fight very well. There is already a natural expectation for the action movies he stars in."

"Then what's the problem?"

Wu Dun chewed the betel nut slowly and continued to ask.

The other party's sentence just now, his keen sense of smell made him feel that something could be done.

Calculating the feasibility in his heart.

"There is only one male lead now." Zhang Long flicked the ash and looked at his boss with a grin: "In my opinion, that's the biggest problem, but for you, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"And for action movies, it's best to form a Hong Kong team."

"Neither the mainland nor Wandao will work."

"Hmm."

Wu Dun gave a muffled hum and continued to walk forward.

Originally, he planned to let Li Luo, Jia Jingwen, and Gao Yuanyuan do another costume drama after filming *Miracle Healer*, and the script was already ready—just film that Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Anyway, as long as the names of these three people were put together, money could be made.

It seems now.

Making an action movie is also very promising!

Inside the hospital.

Although Wang Fei and Yu Feihong both wanted to stay.

But at this time, in order not to arouse suspicion, they could only force themselves to leave.

It was Xu Qing's identity as a sworn sister that allowed her to stay openly.

"Xiao Yu." Li Luo looked at the little assistant and ordered in a low voice: "You go back and rest first. My family arrives at the airport at nine tonight. Please go pick them up. It's fine to have Sister Qing here."

After this kind of thing happened, even if they trusted him again.

His family insisted on coming over, so there was this sentence.

Those involved in the case had all been caught, and even the police officers had withdrawn, and there was someone watching here, so Wu Yu didn't insist anymore.

Once the door closed.

Xu Qing strode to the side of the hospital bed, her voice trembling slightly: "Was it the right side that you were injured on?"

"That's right."

Li Luo nodded honestly.

"Ouch!!!"

The next moment, a cry of pain came from his mouth.

Her fingers twisted hard toward his left waist, and Xu Qing gritted her teeth: "You just have to show off, don't you? If others want money, just give it to them. What if something happens to you? What should I do?"

The tears she had been holding back for a long time slid quietly from her eye sockets.

She twisted a few more times in anger.

Li Luo didn't cry out in pain again but wiped the tears on her delicate face: "Sister Qing, I just thought about seeing you again, so I made a desperate counterattack."

"Daring to carry a gun in public, do you think those people wouldn't dare to kill the hostage?"

A light sentence.

Made Xu Qing freeze.

The heartwarming words also made her attitude soften rapidly.

The big sister gently hugged Li Luo and leaned her head on his shoulder, enjoying the space that belonged only to the two of them.

"Sister Qing."

After a moment of silence, Li Luo couldn't help but speak.

"Hmm?"

Xu Qing made a nasal sound.

"Do you remember when we first got together?" Li Luo grinned and took a deep breath: "It was also in the hospital at that time, and it was also just the two of us."

The aftertaste-filled expression made Xu Qing slap his shoulder:

"Jerk."

"What time is it, and you're still thinking about that!"

"I'm wronged!"

Li Luo raised his arm and sniffed, arguing reasonably: "I didn't take a bath yesterday, and it's quite uncomfortable. Good sister, how about you help me wipe it?"

Having lived together for so long, Xu Qing knew his habits.

Whether it was drinking or the weather being cold.

Taking a bath every day was something that never changed.

"Alright, alright, alright."

Being shaken by the arm, Xu Qing couldn't resist him: "But I warn you, don't mess around!!!"

Li Luo naturally agreed with his whole mouth.

With enough money given, the hospital environment naturally wouldn't be bad.

In the single hospital room, independent bathroom, color TV, and sofa were all available.

A short minute later.

Inside the bathroom, Xu Qing had already stripped the hospital gown clean. After soaking the towel and wringing it dry, she gave his butt a light flick: "You little nemesis, Sister Qing has never served anyone like this!"

Li Luo grinned and narrowed his eyes, enjoying the wiping service.

The warm towel wiped on his body.

Finally melted away the fatigue.

And completely washed away the bloody smell from last night.

Wiping, wiping.

The footsteps moved in front of her.

Xu Qing didn't hesitate too much. Biting her lip, she scooped up a handful of hot water from the plastic basin and poured it gently on him, rubbing every corner gently, her movements could be said to be extremely gentle.

"Annoying."

A short dozen seconds later, she glared at Li Luo in annoyance: "Never stopping at any time."

That's what she said.

But her eyes were already full of water.

Her palm supported the dangling part.

Wrapping and rotating forward.

Li Luo immediately showed a satisfied smile. Don't look at the Jing-circle big girl saying no, her actual actions were quite honest.

That night.

Li Luo's parents came to the hospital.

After a few knocks on his head, they asked about the situation at the time with heartache.

As for Xu Qing.

She slipped away right on time!

The big sister didn't dare to meet Li Luo's family alone; she felt very guilty in her heart.

After confirming that Li Luo had no major problems, his father and mother finally let go of the heart they had been carrying all the way. They stayed in the hospital room until late at night before heading straight to the courtyard under Wu Yu's guidance.

The little assistant also moved into the guest room in the courtyard under Li Luo's signal.

He was afraid that his parents wouldn't know how to use something, and it would be much better to have someone help.

The next few days.

Li Luo could be said to be living the most leisurely time during this period.

Food brought to his mouth, clothes put on his hands.

And accompanied by relatives.

It couldn't be more comfortable.

Regarding the information about those kidnappers, there was also the latest situation. After interrogation, it was discovered that the other party had not done this kind of thing for the first time, and they even killed the hostage after receiving the money.

The information spread, causing an uproar among the public.

The sporadic criticism of Li Luo originally dissipated instantly.

Death penalty.

Was the predictable ending for those few people.

Li Luo also completely stopped taking this matter to heart. He was discharged from the hospital three days after the surgery. Next, he just had to wait a few more days to remove the stitches, and there would be no problem acting in some literary scenes.

In fact, he recovered very quickly, and basic movement was no longer an obstacle.

Time came to the fourth day.

Seeing that he was okay, his family had the intention to go back. Don't look at Li Luo having money now, he also sent some back from time to time.

But the work that should be done, the family didn't leave behind.

In his father's words.

Idle every day.

Wouldn't that be a waste!

Although a bit reluctant, Li Luo still let Wu Yu take them to the airport.

Ending the short gathering.

In the courtyard.

The creaking sound of the rocking chair rang gently, and there was another ding-dong sound. Li Luo stopped the rocking chair, closed the script of a stranger's letter, and swayed toward the courtyard gate.

"Snap."

After a crisp sound.

The courtyard gate popped open inward, and two people standing outside appeared in front of him.

"Wu Ge, Brother Long."

Li Luo smiled and stepped aside, signaling them to walk in: "Please come in, please come in. You came, so why bring gifts? I'm worried about how to finish the fruit in my house now!"

In Zhang Long's hand, he was carrying a big fruit basket.

Various fruits were colorful and bright.

"Yours is yours, mine is mine." Wu Dun followed him in, looking around curiously: "Your courtyard is not bad. How is your recovery now?"

"Remove stitches in a few days."

Leading the two to the living room, Li Luo turned back and asked: "The filming progress isn't affected, right?"

"No problem."

Zhang Long put down the fruit basket and supported him: "You sit well, I'll make tea. Do you still treat us as guests!"

"Don't make mine."

With a light smile and a shake of his head, Li Luo sat down on the side: "I've been drinking plain water these days."

Chatting for a few sentences.

Two cups of clear tea steamed.

"Let me guess."

Wu Dun was as direct as usual. After taking a sip of tea, he said: "Are there quite a few people looking for you to act recently?"

"There are some."

Li Luo tapped his knees lightly.

Perhaps because of this incident, there were quite a few more endorsements and acting offers.

"But I basically pushed them all away."

He looked at Wu Dun with a smile and nodded: "After filming *Miracle Healer*, I have to join the crew immediately to film a movie with Jiang Wen. It's actually a small supporting role, and it won't take much time."

"Mainly want to take advantage of this gap to stay in school for a while."

"Otherwise, graduation will be tough."

As he spoke, noticing Wu Dun's strange expression, he immediately asked: "Wu Ge, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Just like this.

It seems there is serious business to discuss.

Wu Dun put down the cup, his expression quite serious: "Actually, you should have paid attention to the news online during this period. I think you should take this opportunity to try an action movie."

"I contacted an old friend in Hong Kong these days, and he has a script on hand that I think is quite good."

"If you are interested, Wu Ge will set up a group with friends."

"How about it, do you want to try it?"

"What's the story?"

Out of politeness, Li Luo also had to ask about the situation.

Whether to take it or not.

That was another matter.

"Tentatively named *Father's Day*."

Seeing that he was interested, Wu Dun immediately told the general idea of the script.

In the unhurried words, a story about a retiring inspector, a triad boss, and a new inspector echoed leisurely in the living room along with the rising tea steam.

Thanks to brother Fu Meng Zui Chang Sheng for the reward of 3,000 coins, thank you!
