The crew has changed their shooting location.
These days, whenever Chu Yin joins the crew, the shooting gets tense; it’s the first time working with the male lead.
Fortunately, there’s no drama, and the collaboration between them is quite harmonious.
She’s wondering whether she’s in love; Chu Yin rolls through emotional scenes effortlessly in a single take.
The assistant said watching them makes her want to ship them.
Little did anyone know, Chu Yin imagines the male lead’s face as Sang Li’s, which makes her filming go smoothly.
Today’s scenes are wrapped and Chu Yin sits nearby to rest.
Suddenly, the phone rings.
"Hello, this is Citywide Delivery, Mr. Sang has sent you something, please sign for it."
"Okay."
Chu Yin immediately stands up.
The assistant asks, "Do you want me to go?"
"No need, I’ll go myself."
Chu Yin smiles and walks outside.
Luckily, they’re shooting a modern drama this time, so the outfit isn’t exaggerated.
The assistant then goes to prepare the items needed for Chu Yin next.
Chu Yin reaches the door and takes the package from the courier.
Just as she’s signing for it, a mist suddenly hovers before her eyes.
Chu Yin’s vision blurs, she immediately shouts for help.
But she feels her voice stuck in her throat, can only watch helplessly as she’s stuffed into a car.
On the other side.
The assistant waits anxiously but there’s no sign of Chu Yin, instead Lin Zhiyi and Sang Li arrive.
"Mr. Sang? Since you’re here, why have a city courier deliver something?"
Sang Li hesitates, "I didn’t send anything."
The assistant exclaims and immediately runs outside.
"It’s bad, it seems Miss Chu has disappeared."
Lin Zhiyi freezes for a moment and looks at Gong Chen, who is wearing a mask beside him.
"What’s going on? I just called Chu Yin half an hour ago."
Gong Chen says quietly, "Let’s go check."
As they speak, Sang Li rushes out.
Arriving where Chu Yin signed for the package, they find only a button from her costume on the ground.
The assistant says, "I recognize this button, I ironed Miss Chu’s costume this morning."
Lin Zhiyi looks at the violently torn threads on it.
"This definitely didn’t fall off on its own."
Sang Li says, "Check the surveillance."
The assistant responds helplessly, "No use, the director was wary about leaks, so all surveillance around this house is turned off."
Gong Chen reminds them, "If only the surrounding surveillance is down, there’d still be surveillance at the intersections outside. It was mentioned that Chu Yin was out signing for a package, the other side should have used a delivery truck, which can’t be hard to track."
Sang Li nods.
The few of them hurriedly walk towards the intersection.
Not far away, a car slowly rolls up its window.
In the car, Bai Hui sneers.
"Has the surveillance around the intersections been dealt with?"
"Rest assured, President Bai, all dealt with, the delivery car switched its logo in the blind spots, no one’s going to notice."
"Tell Chu Wu, she must make her move today, let her leave on tonight’s flight."
"President Bai, you really intend to let her go? Chu Wu doesn’t seem like the kind to stay put, she might threaten you later." The assistant turns to look at Bai Hui.
Bai Hui laughs, "Who said I’d let her go? Acting in the country risks backlash but once abroad, who cares about her? Have her passport collected once she lands, do I need to teach you what to do next?"
"Yes."
...
Chu Yin groggily wakes up.
Not yet accustomed to the dim surroundings, suddenly the overhead light turns on.
Chu Yin closes her eyes to adapt for a while before seeing the shadow ahead.
"Chu Wu? Are you crazy? This is kidnapping!"
Chu Wu nods, "Exactly, that’s why I hate you."
Chu Yin: "..."
Incomprehensible.
Sometimes hating someone truly lacks reasons.
But is it necessary to kill over it?
Chu Yin takes a deep breath, trying to reason with Chu Wu: "Would you really take on the crime because of me? How can you guarantee my body would never be found?"
Seeing deterrence didn’t work, Chu Yin attempts to frighten Chu Wu.
Unexpectedly, Chu Wu laughs hysterically.
"By then, I’ll likely have settled abroad, who’ll come looking for me?"
"Settle abroad? Where’d you get so much money?" Chu Yin asks.
Chu Wu’s expression shifts: "Looks like you know I owe debts, did Mom tell you? Clearly at crucial times, does she even care about me as a daughter? You and I both know, Mom and Dad are face-saving, whichever daughter impresses relatives, they favor. It’s too bad you wouldn’t please them, leading to this."
Chu Wu paces within the cramped space.
She continues, "Don’t blame me, we were destined not to be sisters, and don’t think Mr. Sang will save you. Who do you think you are that Mr. Sang would care? After you die, there’ll be another woman in a few years."
Chu Yin presses her lips tight.
She reckons Chu Wu might be right about one thing.
They really could never be sisters.
Between them lies no bond.
She stops wasting words, instead carefully observing the surroundings.
The walls peeling and damp, showing it’s been vacant for ages.
The only window is merely a vent, tiny as it is.
Highly likely this is just a basement.
The dim sunlight through the vent indicates Chu Wu took a considerable time bringing her here.
Too bad Chu Yin isn’t familiar with Hai City, making it impossible to guess her approximate location.
Following Chu Yin’s gaze, Chu Wu chuckles.
"Stop looking, you’ll never figure out this place in your lifetime, nor who gave you the fatal blow."
