Petite Mother of Four Big Shots - Chapter 39.3

Chapter 39: Escape Route (3)

In the end, he had tossed him an envelope with 30,000 yuan in it.

Thus, Brother Wu, who had received half-threat and half-reward, drove back to his hotel with fear and an extremely conflicted heart. He didn’t know what Gu Yuanyuan was experiencing.

He felt misery. He wanted to call the police but dared not.

With conscience on one side and the safety of his family on the other, he dared not gamble. He only hoped that Gu Yuanyuan would be fine: the man said that Gu Yuanyuan would be sent back in a while, right …

He had worked behind the scenes in the circle for a long time and knew of a lot of dirty things. He also had a teenage daughter, which he raised by him.

In the silent car, he kept thinking: If this happens to his daughter one day, the result will definitely be different if someone reaches out for help.

After struggling for ten minutes, Brother Wu finally couldn’t take his inner condemnation anymore, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the police when suddenly a thought crossed his mind: The other party warned me not to call the police but did not say that I couldn’t do anything else, did they?

He quickly turned towards the crew, and almost took a chance to call Xiao Liu. His trembling voice said through the phone, “Xiao Liu, go to Mr. Lin and tell him that Gu Yuanyuan was kidnapped.”

When Xiao Liu heard this, she first thought he was joking. “Brother Wu, it’s not today is not April Fool’s Day. Are you joking?”

“I’m not kidding!”

When she heard Brother Wu’s voice full of horror, he was scared to death. He thought of Brother Wu’s usual behavior and did not dare to take it casually. “Where are you? What’s going on? ”

“I’m on my way back, so please inform Mr. Lin quickly.” He hung up only to find that the phone case was wet … The sweat from his palm had bathed it.

Xiao Liu didn’t dare to delay. It was no small matter that the lead actress was kidnapped. Such things had a domino effect, when even the minutest thing could affect the smooth functioning of the production, what’s more a major one such as this?!

He was a staff of Group B. Lin Shaosi filmed in Group A. He didn’t dare to spread the news, in case it turned out to be a hoax. Rumors could stem from nothing, and if this reached many mouths and ears, the damage would be irreparable. He ran to Group A’s location and spent a few minutes on the scene.

Lin Shaosi had just come out of the rain and was wrapped in a blanket. He hadn’t brought his clothes along, so Shu Ran had lent him his.

Lin Shaosi was very annoyed at the moment. He heard that Gu Yuanyuan had gone back to bring him clothes, but that was over an hour ago. He sent messages on WeChat but did not get any reply, and thought that her phone could be turned off. That said, he didn’t think much into this as at times, from the sets to the hotel, there would be traffic jams too.

Shu Ran who was sitting next to him took a sarcastic dig at him. “It is estimated that the mobile phone is out of power … Yuanyuan is so good to you, even going back to get your clothes in person.”

Lin Shaosi who was sipping ginger soup frowned at the taste. Unfazed, Shu Ran continued his sarcastic remarks. “This is the ginger soup that Xiao Yuanyuan cooked for you, and I didn’t even get it.”

“You weren’t shooting in the rain.” Lin Shaosi swung it with a fist. “Stupid! This is health remedy.”

Shu Ran groaned.

At this moment, Xiao Liu rushed over. “Mr. Lin!”

Lin Shaosi: “What can I do for you?”

Xiao Liu’s voice dropped to a whisper. “Have you been able to contact Yuanyuan?”

“What do you mean?” Lin Shaosi’s eyes narrowed.

Xiao Liu crustily said, “I just got a call from Brother Wu. He said that Yuanyuan was kidnapped.”

Shu Ran was very close by when he heard that. When he heard the news, he frowned. “Are you sure?”

“Brother Wu said that he doesn’t know if this is true.” Xiao Liu added. “But Brother Wu is honest and not the type of person to joke around about this kind of thing.”

Lin Shaosi’s face darkened, he immediately stood up. “Where is he?”

“On the way here, he said that he will be here soon.”

Lin Shaosi said to Shu Ran, “Help me tell the director.” Then he turned to Xiao Liu. “Give me Brother Wu’s number.”

Xiao Liu hurriedly did as she was told, while Lin Shaosi started pacing around. This was the scene Zou Si saw when she came back after getting some hot water, her intuition screamed to her saying that something was wrong. She quickly stopped.

After being informed about the situation, her face paled, she was hired to protect Gu Yuanyuan personally, but only a few days later, the very person was kidnapped

Usually Jiang Yun would know what Gu Yuanyuan did every day through her, and she had to inform Jiang Yun immediately of minor hiccups, what more when such a big thing happened.

But as soon as the call went through, Lin Shaosi grabbed the phone from Zou Si, he didn’t even look at the screen to see the number, it was like he already knew who was on the other side.

After the call was connected, he paused and said, “Big Brother, it’s Lin Shaoshi. I have a problem here. Could you please check Lu Wenchen’s whereabouts right now for me, the sooner the better.”

Jiang Yun was smart enough to know that something was wrong but didn’t know what it was exactly; so, he calmly responded. After hanging up, he checked the caller’s id to confirm that it was indeed Zou Si’s number.

Zuo Si’s job was to protect and report Gu Yuanyuan‘s daily schedule to him- Even if Lin Shaoshi wanted to talk with him, he would not use Zuo Si’s cell phone, and on top of that he asked him to check Lu Wenchen’s whereabouts.

By this time, he already had people checking Lu Wenchen’s background. He learned from Ji Peichuan that the Lu family not only had a relationship with the military but with political parties as well.

This person should not be underestimated.

Lin Shaosi and him (Jiang Yun) never had any kind of interaction with Lu Wenchen, the only connection between them was Gu Yuanyuan.

Jiang Yun ordered Zhanyang to check Lu Wenchen’s location immediately and dialed Gu Yuanyuan’s number— “Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off.”

“Mr. Jiang, what’s the matter?” Zhan Yang hadn’t seen the boss this worried in a long time, naturally, he was shocked seeing this.

Jiang Yun didn’t respond and instead, dialed Lin Shaosi’s number and asked directly, “Did something happen to Gu Yuanyuan?”

“Yeah.” Lin Shaosi didn’t hide. “I guess that Lu Wenchen may have kidnapped her, but I’m not 100% sure.”

Jiang Yun: “I’ll be there right away.”

Gu Yuanyuan didn’t know that her disappearance had already been noticed by Jiang Yun and Lin Shaosi. She calculated the time and found that it had only been an hour since her kidnapping. So, nothing would happen if she hurried back now, but she had to turn on her phone before that- if Sanbao can’t contact me, he’s gonna be worried.

After reaching a crowded street with shops on both sides, Gu Yuanyuan told Qian Xian to stop.

He braked manually and the skateboard came to a steady stop. He put down Gu Yuanyuan, the latter stood on the ground, calmly gathering her messy hair.

Thankfully Gu Yuanyuan could rejoice. Nothing had happened to her pants!

Qian Xian was obviously very happy. He bent over to pick up the skateboard. Just when his hand touched the skateboard, he heard a crack and the skateboard broke in two.

“Huh?” Qianxian said, shocked, “It broke! The quality is too bad!”

It was natural for the skateboard to break after carrying two people together this far.

Gu Yuanyuan wasn’t shocked seeing this, she simply turned around to enter a dessert shop, hoping to charge her phone.

The clerk glanced at her phone and regretfully said, “I don’t have a charging cable for your phone.

She checked with five shops in a row but there was no matching charging cable.

Gu Yuanyuan: “…”
