Chapter 2008 - 2018: Why Did You Release That Statement?
At the same time, half an hour earlier at the Military District Hospital, Si Chen had already heard about the incident on the advertisement set. His expression turned cold, and despite the doctors’ and nurses’ attempts to stop him, he got up from the sickbed.
"Prepare the car."
"Yes, President Si." The secretary didn’t dare defy his order and obediently followed his instructions.
In a short while, he arranged the car and brought the suit Si Chen requested, knocking on the door as he entered.
"Come in."
On the bed, the person had already climbed up. After several days of rest, he could barely stand. However, the cost of standing up was a piercing pain in the injured area of his left leg.
Si Chen’s face was pale, but his thin lips pressed tight, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.
The secretary handed over the suit and quietly said, "President Si, should I go to Miss Lin’s side instead of you? The doctor said..."
"Don’t bother with what the doctor said." Si Chen interrupted him, "The car I asked you to prepare, is it ready?"
The secretary didn’t dare say more, bowed his head respectfully, "It’s already been prepared according to your instructions."
"Mm, I’ll change clothes, then we’ll set off."
"Yes."
In less than ten minutes, a man who should have been resting on the sickbed had already changed into suit and leather shoes. With the secretary’s assistance, he took the elevator out of the hospital.
Every step for him felt like walking on a knife’s edge, but he walked each step steadily and determinedly——

Lin Anxin was completely unaware that Si Chen had already heard about the incident on the set. At this moment, she was cornered by Lu Zhiang, facing his defiant and pained face. She steeled herself and made up her mind, "I’m sorry, Lu Zhiang, I don’t know how to apologize enough."
At the concert, in that moment she had truly been moved.
Maybe being moved didn’t mean she instantly fell for him, but at least at that time, his actions really made her change her mind. In that moment, she genuinely wished to bravely try again, to try liking someone again.
But she didn’t have time to do so before it became impossible.
She didn’t know how to protect him, and in that situation, she just didn’t want to implicate him. After all, in her war with Si Chen, Lu Zhiang was the most innocent.
If Lu Zhiang was truly blacklisted because of her, affecting his career, she would be drowned in guilt.
So she chose the dumbest yet most protective way – to issue that statement.
Lin Anxin lowered her head, almost not daring to look him in the eyes. She had never owed anyone before, but this time, she felt she owed the big boy in front of her.
"I shouldn’t have agreed to you in the first place, I’m sorry, I didn’t think it would cause you to be blacklisted. Lu Zhiang, just pretend everything before hasn’t happened. Just now that three million, I’ll transfer it to your agent, I..."
Before she finished speaking, her wrist was seized, Lu Zhiang drew closer, speaking deliberately, "Do you think I came to ask about the statement because you nearly got me blacklisted?"
Lin Anxin bit her lower lip, not knowing how to respond, "...I’m sorry."
Lu Zhiang’s defiant face flickered with pain, gritting his teeth, "I didn’t ask about it because I was nearly blacklisted, I know about you and him, I’ve never blamed you."
He just hated it, hated that he was too weak!
Hated that in that situation, all he could do was watch her destroy her career, issuing that statement just to keep him safe from the public opinion vortex.
