Chapter 370: Chapter 394: Xu He Gets Injured

On the stage that captivated thousands, Xu He slowly appeared on the lifting platform when, suddenly, the lift shook violently and plunged straight down.

Fang Yi, sitting in the first row, swept onto the stage like the wind in an instant.

It was a subconscious and instinctive reaction from Fang Yi; upon seeing this unexpected change, he only cared about Xu He’s safety, ignoring everything else.

In that instant, the entire sports center, with tens of thousands of people, fell silent all at once, seemingly shocked. The thousands of fans never expected such an accident to occur.

The concert turned somewhat chaotic, but fortunately, someone quickly stepped up to explain to the crowd, asking them to stay calm with Xu He’s safety as a priority. This managed to quiet them down somewhat, but it was a temporary solution; Xu He needed to regain consciousness first.

Fang Yi had already reached the stage and jumped directly onto the lifting platform. He quickly checked Xu He’s breathing, which was slightly irregular but nothing severe. He immediately picked Xu He up and walked off the lift.

At the same time, the staff members hurried over, causing some congestion in the corridor.

"Make way!"

Fang Yi took a deep breath and shouted loudly, his voice booming like thunder combined with his stern face, which instinctively made people clear a path.

Fang Yi carried Xu He to the resting area, where there was conveniently a bed and a standby doctor. However, with one cold glance from Fang Yi, the doctor stepped back.

At this moment, Xu He’s face was filled with pain; her eyes were closed as if she was clenching her teeth.

Fang Yi bent down slightly, whispering, "Xu He, can you hear me speaking? If you can, try to respond, so I don’t worry too much."

Lying on the single bed, Xu He blinked laboriously.

Fang Yi hummed a response and told someone behind him, "Get a cup of water."

Then, Fang Yi noticed something odd about Xu He’s right foot. Gently touching it with his finger, her foot jerked away like an electric shock. Fang Yi sighed inwardly, realizing she had sprained her ankle.

"Xu He, you’ve sprained your ankle. I’m going to set it now; bear with it," Fang Yi said gently, then had someone find a stick for Xu He to bite.

A sharp pain is better than a prolonged pain. Fang Yi held Xu He’s foot, which was as pale and smooth as jade, transmitted a bit of True Qi, and with what seemed like just a light twist, a clicking sound was heard. Xu He’s body on the bed lifted from the waist, spasming from the intense pain.

Fang Yi quickly reassured her, "It’s done; bear with it a little longer, and it won’t hurt soon."

A middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap approached and asked softly, "Sir, is Xu He okay?"

Fang Yi knew the man was Xu He’s manager, Wu Han. Fang Yi replied, "It’s just a sprained ankle. Go check the surveillance now and make sure no suspicious person gets away."

Wu Han first paused, then with a stern expression, nodded and strode away quickly.

This problem with the stage couldn’t have been an accident. Knowing how large-scale concerts cannot afford even minor errors, as they could cause significant reputational damage to a celebrity, it was certain that many rehearsals and strict safety measures were taken before the show.

If there wasn’t an issue on their side, then someone must have been causing trouble intentionally. The entertainment industry isn’t all clean; anyone in this circle knows that malicious sabotage is always possible.

After Wu Han left, Fang Yi sent the other staff away too, having them maintain order outside instead of crowding here. To them, Fang Yi was still a stranger, but many had previously seen Xu He smiling with Fang Yi, knowing he was her friend, and they left reassured.

It wasn’t long before Shen Binnan also arrived.

"How is the situation?" Shen Binnan asked with a hint of anxiety.

"There’s nothing much," said Fang Yi.

"This wasn’t an accident," Shen Binnan exclaimed, "and that Jiang Lili is likely involved."

Fang Yi sneered coldly, saying, "Even if you think with your toes, you would realize that woman is involved."

Shen Binnan fell silent for a moment, then said, "If something really happens to Xu He, I’ll make sure Jiang Lili can’t survive in the entertainment industry."

At that moment, Shen Binnan, with a sudden burst of chilling intent, pondered the possibilities. Xu He had been her best friend since college. If something truly happened to Xu He, with Shen Binnan’s influence in Moon City and being the president of Longtu Group, wouldn’t solving a problem with a celebrity be a trivial matter?

"Let’s not think too much for now, let’s wait for Xu He to wake up," Fang Yi said.

Perhaps Xu He had heard their conversation, at this moment, Xu He groaned softly and slowly opened her eyes.

"You... both of you..." there was an unusual gleam in Xu He’s eyes.

Shen Binnan pursed her lips and sat down beside Xu He, asking, "He He, how are you feeling?"

Xu He replied, "It’s nothing much, just twisted my ankle a bit, but Fang Yi helped me...it’s nothing serious now."

Xu He thought back to when she had passed out, and the words Fang Yi had whispered in her ear. She had initially intended to open her eyes, but felt too shy to do so, and simply pretended to remain unconscious. Fang Yi’s tender words by her ear made her heart skip several beats unintentionally.

However, Xu He hid it well, and neither Fang Yi nor Shen Binnan noticed. Seeing their faces filled with concern warmed Xu He’s heart.

Just then, Wu Han rushed back and seeing Xu He awake, hurriedly came over to check on her. After learning Xu He was alright, Wu Han’s heart finally eased. But then he remembered something and his face turned grim.

"Wu Han, what’s wrong?" Xu He noticed and asked.

"Ah, Xu He, this accident might cause a lot of trouble. The chairman is already on his way, and the media are blocked outside. It’s probably hard to settle this," Wu Han said.

What Wu Han didn’t say was that the key issue was the fans. Although they were there to support Xu He, now that this had happened, they certainly cared about Xu He, but they had paid to see her. If this couldn’t be resolved satisfactorily, it could also affect future concerts.

Thus, Xu He’s fall had caused a huge impact.

"Is there any way to resolve this?" Fang Yi asked.

"There is, as long as Xu He continues to perform and shows our sincerity, it would minimize the impact," Wu Han said, suggesting the only solution.

"Alright, I’ll go," Xu He said, already getting up.

"No!" Shen Binnan immediately refused, "You’re alright this time. What if something happens again?"

Xu He smiled softly, "Binnan, it’ll be fine."

Shen Binnan shook her head with a cold expression.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense. Fang Yi sighed, "Let her go. Everyone faces difficulties. Difficulties need to be overcome by oneself, others can’t help."

Shen Binnan remained silent.

At that moment, Wu Han had an idea, saying, "Mr. Fang, Miss Shen, how about this? Both of you also go on stage. With you two by Xu He’s side, there should be no problem."
