Besides the vast weeds in the overgrown countryside, no one was seen.
But not far on the road near the weeds, Xin Siyue silently fell in her pool of blood.
The white shirt was dyed red and she quietly laid in a pool of blood, shutting her eyes tightly. Her fingers slightly moved before it dropped.
After Chen Sinan woke up shocked and full of sweat, he frantically found his phone and dialed Xin Siyue.
He needed to promise her safety before he could temporarily be relieved.
The phone rang for a long time but no one picked up. Chen Sinan massaged his temple in irritation and looked at the time; it was two in the morning so she must be asleep.
Xin Siyue was woken up by the phone. She was lucky that her phone was turned to vibrate otherwise how embarrassing would it be if she woke up her colleagues?
Maybe it was because Chen Sinan hadn’t contacted her for a long time had called, she wondered why he called at this time. She was worried that something had happened so she went to the door to pick up the call.
“What’s the matter?”
Chen Sinan originally didn’t hold hope that she would answer and wanted to hang up when she answered. “Did you sleep yet?”
Xin Siyue wanted to worship him. “Don’t you know that there’s a time difference between the two of us? Why don’t you look at the time? At this time, if I’m not sleeping, that would be unusual!” After she spoke, she didn’t hear anything from him. She asked, “Is there a matter? If not, I’m going to hang up. I’m very tired and there’s work tomorrow.”
Hearing that her tone was normal, Chen Sinan thought that nothing happened. He said, “After I’m done handling the work, I will go to A City to find you.”
“Why are you going to A City?” Xin Siyue blurted. “I’m not there!”
Chen Sinan’s tone changed. “Where are you?”
Xin Siyue said the name of this remote mountain area. Then she said, “We need to interview Film Emperor Yang for our next episode. He is shooting his movie here and can’t make time out for us. So I came with the program group. After seeing the Film Emperor tomorrow, we will be officially recording the episode the day after.”
That remote place…
Chen Sinan almost immediately thought of his dream.
He tried his best to keep his voice steady and reminded, “Please remember to go with your colleagues. Don’t get lost.”
Xin Siyue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m not a kid. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up. I’m very tired now.”
The next day Xin Siyue woke up, she only remembered picking up Chen Sinan’s call in the middle of the night. She couldn’t recall what they talked about. Thinking that it might not be something important, she didn’t try to remember.
The hotel Xin Siyue and them lived in was a distance away from where Film Emperor Yang was filming. While heading over, because the road was overly narrow, they couldn’t drive in the mountains. They had to get out of the car and walk over.
Xin Siyue walked halfway and remembered that she left her phone in the car because she only remembered to take her folder.
She thought about it and said to the Director, “Sorry, I’m going to go back to the car to grab my phone. I’ll catch up to you guys immediately.”
Director was scared that she didn’t know her surroundings that well so it wouldn’t be too good to go by herself. He especially asked, “Do you want me to have Xiao Huang come with you?”
Xin Siyue hurriedly said, “No need, no need. I’ll come back instantly after taking my phone.”
Director didn’t force her either. He admired how independent Xin Siyue was. He was irritated with how the female colleagues and celebrities that he had worked with in the past had ordered people to do their work for them.
Xin Siyue went back herself and seeing how quiet her surroundings was, she felt uneasy because there was no one. She subconsciously quickened her pace.
The cars of the crew were parked in order. She found her car and unlocked it. She reached and just got her phone when she heard the sound of glass breaking by her side.
Xin Siyue was shocked and hurriedly turned around. But her neck felt the icy cold knife.
Her face turned pale and she looked over to see four or five men wearing black coats looking sinisterly at her.
They held iron sticks or sharp knives in their hands.
Xin Siyue’s heart thumped violently. She seamlessly placed her phone towards her back and pressed 110.
She never tried this before and couldn’t promise that she will succeed.
Plus, her only option right now was to calm down and stall the time. She wanted to gain as much time as possible for herself.
Xin Siyue prayed in her heart that the colleagues in the program group will have someone come look for herself after realizing that she hadn’t been back for a long time. Maybe she will have a chance to live.
Xin Siyue looked at how unfriendly they were. Her instinct was that she was a goner.
