Chapter 2444 - 2452: Pretending to be Hurt

Qin Yu’s words had Zhao Xiaoying completely baffled. What was happening? Death God Film Industry welcoming her? But Death God Film Industry was dubbed the Dream Factory of Hollywood, churning out several Hollywood superstars every year!

Seeing Zhao Xiaoying looking dumbfounded and unable to utter a word, Daoersen laughed and said, "Miss Zhao, I am the imperial director of Death God Film Industry, and King is the boss of Death God Film Industry."

Zhao Xiaoying finally understood. No wonder Qin Yu was so confident, giving roles to whoever he wished—it turned out he was the elusive boss of Death God Film Industry!

"What’s wrong? Miss Zhao, you don’t want to join Death God Film Industry?"

"I’m willing, but... I killed Li Xuejie. The Li Family won’t let me go. I can’t drag Mr. Qin down," Zhao Xiaoying quickly nodded and then shook her head with a touch of disappointment.

Qin Yu’s gaze softened somewhat. Zhao Xiaoying might have a bit of a temper, but at her core, she was still kind-hearted and considerate towards him.

Qin Yu spoke gravely, "Since you’ve joined Death God Film Industry, you are my person! My people, let alone a mere Li Family, even if the four great families were to join forces, it wouldn’t be effective!"

Qin Yu’s tone was overwhelmingly domineering, but Zhao Xiaoying felt a warmth in her heart.

"Why? Why does Mr. Qin help me? I’m the one who has wronged Mr. Qin, after all!"

"Because... you’re a good actor. You haven’t followed the crowd, emerging unstained from the mire."

Tears uncontrollably started to roll down her cheeks! At last, someone understood her! Zhao Xiaoying felt that her years of perseverance had not been in vain—it finally paid off!

"Daoersen, arrange a room for Miss Zhao to rest, and prepare a set of clothes for her."

"Yes, sir!"

Having said that, Qin Yu turned and walked away. As he did, he pondered how to get through the evening. How could he escape from the clutches of the two women?

Hiding? Certainly not an option. He still needed to rely on Holly Rosie to infiltrate the Supernatural Group’s Genetic Research Institute.

That’s it! Pretend to be injured! Qin Yu gave a faint smile, set up an Illusion Array on himself, and made sure he looked exceptionally disheveled.

The party continued, with Holly Rosie, Lu Shiqi, and Justin Dina becoming the true stars of the evening; countless men came over to invite the three ladies to dance.

Justin Dina, obviously well-acquainted with everyone, took to the floor whenever someone invited her. Holly Rosie and Lu Shiqi, however, continually declined the tycoons’ invitations.

The tycoons knew of the two women’s association with King, and even after being politely refused, they did not feel unhappy.

"Miss Lu, if you want to make it in the entertainment industry, even with the backing of Death God Film Industry, you need some connections. These VIPs are big shots in the entertainment circle—it wouldn’t hurt to network with them.

Besides, they know of your relationship with Qin, and they’ll be perfect gentlemen while dancing. They only want to dance with you to get closer to Qin."

Holly Rosie’s tone was gentle, with a faint smile on her face, as if a big sister was imparting wisdom to her little sister. But Lu Shiqi’s expression changed!

Lu Shiqi knew that Holly Rosie was reminding her, without Qin Yu she was nothing! And without Qin Yu, Holly Rosie was still at the pinnacle of society!

However, Lu Shiqi wasn’t discouraged; she smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Rosie, sometimes men are a bit chauvinistic, especially capable men! They like their women to be dainty and dependent.

Us women, we don’t need to be extremely capable. We just need to be beautiful, know how to act cute, be warm in bed. As long as the money we make is enough for us, that’s all that matters."

Holly Rosie’s pupils contracted slightly as she looked at Lu Shiqi with a meaningful gaze.

Initially, Holly Rosie didn’t consider Lu Shiqi a competitor. But now, Holly Rosie felt something was amiss.

Could it be that all along, the ambivalence in my relationship with Qin Yu was because my aura was too strong? Or because I wasn’t womanly enough?

Holly Rosie recalled Qin Yu’s other women. Although Su Ziyan had been queenly at work, she’d turn into an entirely pure and cute type once she got home.

Shen Qian? She was just like a vixen, too alluring.

...

After mentally going through the list of Qin Yu’s women, Holly Rosie smiled bitterly. Compared to them, she indeed lacked feminine charm.

Maybe she should change her approach in the future?

While Holly Rosie was deep in thought, she heard Lu Shiqi’s exclamation, "Brother Yu, what happened to you? Are you hurt?"

Injured? Holly Rosie paused, surprised. How could Qin Yu be injured? Hadn’t his strength reached the level of the Quasi-Divine Realm?

Wasn’t Qin comparable to an S+ grade Psychic? How could a couple of mere Heavenly Human Realm contenders hurt him?

It must be fake, Qin certainly wasn’t really injured!

Just as Holly Rosie arrived at the correct conclusion, Lu Shiqi had already rushed to Qin Yu’s side, looking at him with concern and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

The worry and sympathy in Lu Shiqi’s eyes were so moving; even Holly Rosie, a woman herself, was touched. Not to mention Qin Yu!

All of a sudden, Holly Rosie felt like a failure. Why did she have to be so smart? Why did she have to see through the fact that Qin Yu wasn’t really hurt?

Suddenly, Holly Rosie’s eyes lit up. Seeing through it wasn’t a problem! As long as she didn’t expose it, that would be fine. She was a Doctor of Medicine, after all! Hmph! She still had an advantage! She wasn’t afraid of Qin pretending to be hurt!

"Ah! Qin, you’re hurt? How could you be so careless?" Holly Rosie leaned over and placed her hand on Qin Yu’s pulse point.

Qin Yu’s mouth twitched continuously. It seemed Rosie had seen through his act! Otherwise, why would she take his pulse? Rosie was a Western doctor, after all!

But Qin Yu couldn’t call Rosie out. If he did, wouldn’t it be admitting that he was faking his injuries?

Knowing that Rosie was a doctor, Lu Shiqi looked at her worriedly and asked, "Sister Rosie, how is Brother Yu? Is he seriously hurt?"

Holly Rosie’s face turned as dark as ink, and she spoke with grave seriousness, "It’s severe! Qin has injured his foundation. If we don’t treat him quickly, he might not see tomorrow’s sun!"

"What? How could that be? Sister Rosie, you must cure Brother Yu!"

"No problem, I must take Qin back to my laboratory! Here, I might not be able to save his life!" Having said that, Holly Rosie hoisted Qin Yu up and carried him on her shoulder, hurrying outside.

This scene left everyone speechless in astonishment! My goodness! Holly Rosie was so impressive!

Qin Yu couldn’t voice his distress. Damn it, now he was really entering the lion’s den, wasn’t he? But all he could do was keep up the pretense of being on his last breath. He had to continue his act of being injured, even if it meant doing so through tears.

Holly Rosie ran so fast that Lu Shiqi struggled to keep up, gasping, "Sister Rosie, slow down, wait for me."

"Shiqi, don’t cause trouble; I’m treating Qin. Besides, my laboratory is very secret, and not just anyone can enter," Holly Rosie retorted.

As if she would let such an opportunity slip by! Holly Rosie didn’t hesitate to close the elevator doors.
