Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

I was in excruciating pain all over my body, from head to toe, as if countless steel needles were moving through my flesh.

Lin Yuan struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and his blurry vision gradually focused...

The white walls gleamed a cool blue in the dim light, and a transparent IV drip was constantly dripping medicine. The electrocardiogram monitor emitted a regular, monotonous "beep beep" sound, which mixed with the smell of disinfectant in the nostrils to create the uniquely cold atmosphere of the hospital.

A sliver of light shone through the window, a reminder that it was late at night.

By the dim light, Lin Yuan's gaze fell on the foot of the bed:

A small figure was curled up there, head buried deep in the crook of his arms, with only his disheveled hair and the snow-white bandages wrapped around his head standing out.

Kim Tae-yeon?
He instinctively tried to raise his arm, but this triggered a tearing pain.

This subtle movement immediately startled the girl who was sleeping lightly. She suddenly looked up, revealing a pair of bright red eyes under the bandages. The moment she saw that Lin Yuan had woken up, her eyes shone with an amazing light.

Her body instinctively leaned forward as if to pounce, but she stopped herself mid-air, afraid of aggravating Lin Yuan's injuries.

"Taeyeon? What are you doing here? How are you injured?" Lin Yuan's voice was hoarse, as if it had been sanded, but he still insisted on finishing the question.

When Kim Tae-yeon saw that Lin Yuan woke up and his first words were not to ask about his own condition, but to inquire about her health, her eyelashes trembled violently, and her eyes visibly welled up with tears.

She bit her lower lip hard until clear teeth marks were left on her pale lips before letting go: "I'm fine, really... just some minor cuts. You protected me very well during the explosion."

Lin Yuan breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

He knew his body all too well; beneath those healing wounds, new tissue was wriggling and growing like tender buds in spring mud.

His extraordinary regenerative abilities told him that as long as he didn't die on the spot and his limbs weren't damaged, he could recover quickly from any injury, no matter how severe.

But Kim Tae-yeon is completely different. She is an idol, and if she were to be left with large scars, her dream would have to come to an end prematurely.

Now it seems that everything is perfect.

"What time is it now? How long have I been unconscious?" Lin Yuan asked.

“You’ve been unconscious for 30 hours, and it’s 11 p.m. on the second day now,” Kim Tae-yeon replied.

He was unconscious for 30 hours?

Lin Yuan wasn't too surprised by this. The last time he filmed "The King of Spies 2," he was also unconscious for just as long during the forest fire.

The injury that time should have been less severe, but the super regenerative ability had not yet been activated at that time.

This time, he was directly exposed to the explosion at close range. If it weren't for the destructive interference caused by the C4 plastic bomb, he would have been torn to shreds by the shockwave, and even the strongest regenerative ability would have been useless.

Looking back now, Lin Yuan still feels a bit scared, but fortunately, he was really lucky.

"Does it hurt?" Kim Tae-yeon suddenly leaned down, her red-rimmed eyes hidden in the shadows of her falling hair. "Tell me where it hurts the most, and I'll find a doctor for you."

"It's nothing, I'm fine, don't worry," Lin Yuan reassured him.

"How could you be alright? You have severe burns covering more than 65% of your body, and you've lost more than 1500ml of blood! Not to mention..." Kim Tae-yeon seemed to realize something and tightly covered her mouth.

What she didn't say was that Lin Yuan still had eleven fractures throughout his body, and six internal organs were damaged, displaced, and bleeding...

It's best not to tell the injured person about such a serious injury.

At this time, it is best to make the injured person believe that their injuries are not serious, as this will help them maintain a good mindset and overcome the many difficulties they will face.

However, the information that Kim Tae-yeon inadvertently revealed was enough for Lin Yuan to know the severity of his injuries.

Severe burns covering 65% of the body are classified as extremely critical burns, with a very high risk of mortality and sequelae, requiring immediate admission to a burn ICU for treatment.

According to the Baux rating scale, his mortality rate should be between 50% and 60%.

In addition, since the injury was caused by inhalation from the blast, his mortality rate would increase by another 20% to 30%.

Lin Yuan still clearly remembers that the moment the explosion occurred, it felt like someone was pouring a large cup of boiling lava down his esophagus.

Even now, he still feels a burning pain in his chest and lungs with every breath and word.

It's fair to say that if such an injury were to occur in an ordinary person, the mortality rate would be over 80%.

Not to mention, there was also a massive amount of bleeding of 1500 ml.

This amount of bleeding exceeds 30% of the total blood volume of a normal adult, which will inevitably lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure, confusion, and shock.

Lin Yuan fainted at the explosion site after his vision went black, most likely due to this reason.

These two injuries combined are enough to kill an ordinary person, not to mention fractures, internal injuries, concussions, and a whole host of other injuries.

Therefore, Kim Tae-yeon simply did not believe that Lin Yuan would be alright.

Lin Yuan turned his head to look at the mirror on his right, and saw that he was wrapped up like a "mummy" from head to toe, especially his face, which was completely covered up, and nothing could be seen except for his eyes.

Does this 65% burn include the face?

Such severe burns on the face would be disfigurement, wouldn't it?
Appearance is extremely important to a person, let alone a public figure like Lin Yuan.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan's physique has exceeded 30 points. The activated extraordinary physique not only gave him super recovery ability, but also allowed him to maintain his best physical condition.

This means he has obtained a "backup" of his optimal physical condition. As long as he doesn't lose an arm or a leg, his body will return to its anchored optimal state during the recovery process.

At this moment, Lin Yuan felt no worry, only relief that he was indeed lucky.

Lin Yuan turned his face away and stared blankly at the mirror.

Kim Tae-yeon could only subconsciously assume that Lin Yuan thought she was disfigured and was unwilling to face her tragic situation.

So she reached out and gently stroked Lin Yuan's cheek, which was covered by white bandages: "It's okay, don't worry, you're so outstanding and you don't rely on your looks to make a living."

Lin Yuan: “???”

"No matter what your appearance changes, I will never dislike you," Kim Tae-yeon said earnestly.

Lin Yuan: "..."

I'm not disfigured, don't look at me with such pity.

Lin Yuan didn't know how to explain, so he could only say, "Now that I'm awake, you should be relieved, right? You're a patient too, so go and get some rest. And while you're at it, call Gakki in from the doorway."

Lin Yuan knew that even if Kim Tae-yeon was guarding inside, GAKKI-chan would definitely be not far away outside the door.

Even Betty, Taylor Swift, Anne, and Charlize should be outside the door.

The reason they chose to have Kim Tae-yeon by their side was partly because of what happened yesterday; they all owed Kim Tae-yeon a huge favor.

If Kim Tae-yeon hadn't stepped forward and used herself as a hostage to allow the others to leave, Taylor Swift and the others would have been in real danger.

On the other hand, it was also because they were Lin Yuan's own people and knew the secret of his extraordinary recovery ability. Therefore, after learning that Lin Yuan was not in mortal danger, their worries were greatly relieved. Otherwise, Liu Yufei and the others would probably have already flown across the ocean to his side by now.

Upon not seeing Liu Yufei, Lin Yuan immediately realized that the impact of this incident would be enormous, and that it was necessary to use this method to demonstrate to the public:
His injuries aren't serious, so don't worry. Look, even his girlfriend didn't rush over immediately.

The outside must be in complete chaos, right?

Hearing Lin Yuan's instructions, Kim Tae-yeon, who was already forcing herself to stay awake due to her serious injuries, stopped trying.

She nodded and stood up from the chair: "You just woke up, so don't overexert yourself. I'll go call them in."

After saying that, she bent down and moved forward, stopping abruptly when she was only inches away from Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan could clearly see her thick eyelashes trembling violently, like the wings of a startled butterfly.

Her breath carried a faint, sweet, girlish fragrance that made one's heart flutter.

After only a moment's hesitation, her gaze hardened, and she moved forward with a gentle yet resolute air.

When those tender cherry lips were finally covered with bandages, Lin Yuan's entire body of pain nerves seemed to have been suddenly silenced.

Even through the thick gauze, he could still clearly feel its amazing softness and elasticity, like a newly blossoming petal, full of youthful vitality.

As if afraid of hurting Lin Yuan, Kim Tae-yeon's kiss was very light and gentle.

Lin Yuan saw her ear tips instantly turn crimson, and that crimson color spread visibly toward her porcelain-white neck.

The kiss lasted only three seconds—perhaps less.

She straightened up in a panic and ran outside as if fleeing.

Lin Yuan found it quite amusing to watch Kim Tae-yeon flee in such a disheveled state.

The two had already had several more intimate interactions, but this seemed to be their first kiss.
It's a bit like getting on the train first and buying the ticket later.

After Kim Tae-yeon left, Lin Yuan suddenly realized something was wrong.

That was her light pink lip gloss, which left a complete lip print on the gauze on her lips, like a blooming cherry blossom.

Lin Yuan: (1`1;)
GAKKI and Betty will be coming in soon, but my hands and feet are tied up and I can't remove this lipstick mark. What should I do?
This made Lin Yuan a little flustered.

But then I thought, I'm injured now, what am I afraid of?
Could it be that he was slightly injured?

The next moment, the door to the ward was pushed open, and five tall, beautiful women entered the ward from behind.

"Lin Yuan, are you alright?" Even though she knew about Lin Yuan's self-healing ability, Betty, who was in the lead, still couldn't help but ask.

Before Lin Yuan could answer, a mocking voice rang out:

"How could something be wrong? He's perfectly fine! Look at him, he's even kissing a young girl, does he look like something's wrong?"

Does kissing help relieve pain and speed up the healing of your injury?

Lin Yuan: ()
As expected of Taylor Swift, she has a sharp eye and immediately spotted the lip print, showing no mercy in her response.

After saying that, Taylor Swift sat down by Lin Yuan's window.

"If a young girl can kiss, why can't I?"

To Lin Yuan's surprise, Taylor Swift kissed him on the lips through the bandages.

The bandage on Lin Yuan's face was in a fixed position, which meant that there was a pale pink cherry blossom right where Taylor Swift was kissing Lin Yuan at that moment.

What the hell!

Is this considered a three-person kiss?

Having known Taylor Swift for many years, Lin Yuan knew that her actions at this moment were not merely for the sake of excitement.

Instead, he was telling himself subconsciously: Kim Tae-yeon is a great girl, I've accepted her, so don't let her go.

After all, Kim Tae-yeon saved her life during yesterday's critical conflict and later demonstrated unparalleled courage.

This made the proud Taylor Swift accept the Korean girl from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, she did not dislike the lipstick mark left by the girl, but accepted her as one of her own, and continued to kiss Lin Yuan in that spot without hesitation.

Lin Yuan also knew that this was not just Taylor Swift's attitude, but also represented the opinions of the others present, and even those across the ocean.

After yesterday's unexpected turn of events, it seems that many things are falling into place naturally.

The kiss lasted about three seconds before Taylor Swift pulled away from Lin Yuan's lips and whispered in his ear, "This is your reward. You were so handsome yesterday! I was completely smitten with you."

Anne and Charlize then stepped forward one by one, gently hugged Lin Yuan, and kissed him.

Lin Yuan:)`)
Well, are you all playing tricks on me and taking advantage of the fact that I can't do anything today?

Seeing that Lin Yuan seemed ready to protest, Betty smiled and said first, "Honey, let's talk business."

Upon hearing the word "dear," Lin Yuan instinctively trembled.

This word had a psychological impact on him for a short time, almost giving him PTSD.

Lin Yuan knew Betty was doing it on purpose, and he turned his head to look at her fiercely.

Sure enough, Betty was covering her mouth and grinning mischievously.

“Let’s get down to business! Let’s get down to business!” Betty said immediately.

"Alright..." Lin Yuan sighed. Having too many women was such a hassle. "Has everything been thoroughly investigated?"

Betty nodded and said, "Yes, that blonde woman's name is Brooke Whitmore. She used to be an operations staff officer in the Atlantic Fleet."

This short sentence contains a wealth of information.

The blonde woman's surname is "Whitmore," which means white marsh or white wasteland, and is an uncommon British surname.

Upon closer reflection, if she weren't so eccentric, her beautiful appearance would indeed have carried the air of an old British aristocrat.

In addition, her previous position as an operations staff officer in the Atlantic Fleet reveals even more information.

The Atlantic Fleet was also an old friend of Lin Yuan.

When filming "The Spy King 2", the person who provided him with convenience was Vice Admiral Joseph King of the Atlantic Fleet, and the person who wanted to kill him by using an accident was Rear Admiral Ross of the naval base.

Lieutenant Commander Louis, commanding the submarine USS Virginia, was also in the Atlantic Fleet.

Lin Yuan unwittingly became involved in a bloodless power struggle within the navy.

Is there really a hidden mastermind behind this blonde woman named Brooke Whitmore? (End of Chapter)
