During transport, Chu Yin accidentally bumped into something, causing her to faintly regain consciousness.
She realized her surroundings were pitch black, her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was stuffed with a cloth.
"Mmmm..."
She struggled fiercely, but her body couldnât move due to the cramped space.
Suddenly, she jolted violently and hit a corner, causing her to faint once again.
In her unconsciousness, a certain image kept rolling in her mind.
It was the image of her death.
Watching two children die in front of her while being powerless was already painful enough.
In the end, she also had to feel the pain of drowning herself.
She didnât understand why she was having such a dream.
It just felt like at some point in time, she had to experience a life-and-death situation.
...
Airport.
After the assistant had checked in the luggage, Chu Yin was nowhere to be seen.
A sense of foreboding filled her with unease.
She immediately rushed to the restroom that Chu Yin had entered, but after searching all around, she couldnât find her.
She even checked the motherâs room.
As the assistant frantically turned in circles, she coincidentally heard a scream from ahead.
It turned out that Fan Yun was also catching a flight to another destination for a film shoot.
The assistant quickly pulled out her phone to call Fan Yunâs assistant.
Once connected, the assistant went straight to Fan Yunâs ear upon hearing the content.
Fan Yun raised his eyes towards the assistant, waved goodbye to his fans, and then walked over wearing sunglasses.
"Whatâs going on? What do you mean sheâs missing?"
"I really looked, but I couldnât get through to her on the phone. I was planning to call the police when I saw you," the assistant said anxiously.
Fan Yun advised, "First make an announcement, and Iâll call Mr. Sang."
The assistant nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay."
The assistant broadcast for a long time without any response, so Fan Yun directly called Zhou Zhao.
Upon hearing, Zhou Zhao immediately checked the airline.
There was no information about Chu Yin boarding a plane.
After informing Sang Li of the news, both hurried to the airport.
By this time, the assistant and Fan Yun had already reviewed the surveillance.
Fan Yun looked at Sang Li and said, "Iâve watched the footage, and thereâs nothing special. But we still donât know when Chu Yin left."
Sang Li calmly said, "Replay it."
Fan Yun had the footage start playing from when Chu Yin entered the restroom.
Right until the assistant went in, there was indeed nothing unusual.
There was no trace of Chu Yin leaving at all.
Could a person really disappear into thin air?
Sang Li stared at the screen, "Replay it again."
After the second round, at a certain point, he raised his hand indicating to stop.
In the footage, a woman was supporting another woman into the restroom.
Fan Yun said, "Drunk. Ten minutes later, they both left again."
Sang Li looked at the footage of them leaving again.
"The person was switched."
"Switched? How do you tell? Arenât they identical?" Fan Yun asked in disbelief.
Sang Li pointed at the two pictures on the screen.
"Though the drunk person was bent over, the leg length couldnât change."
Upon hearing this, Fan Yun recalled Chu Yinâs figure.
She was very slender, especially her legs, which were lean and straight.
Fan Yun had worked with many actresses, and Chu Yinâs legs were among the most perfect.
The woman who went in had very ordinary legs, not too long or too short, not too fat or too thin.
Her legs were about the same length as the woman supporting her.
But when they came out, the drunk womanâs hips reached the supporting womanâs stomach.
An entrance and exit couldnât make such a huge difference.
"So this is... Chu Yin."
Fan Yun, being an actor, was fully immersed in his role.
Zhang Shutong was stunned, "You want to take me away?"
Fan Yun acknowledged with a hum, "Did you forget? I first pursued you, I sincerely liked you, thatâs why I pursued you. Although I know you used me, I canât bring myself to be heartless."
Zhang Shutong took a deep breath, "Youâre at the airport?"
"Yes."
"Wait for me half an hour."
"Okay."
Fan Yun ended the call.
He looked helplessly at Sang Li, "Sorry, Mr. Sang, I didnât manage to ask much."
"Who says otherwise."
Sang Li looked at Zhou Zhao.
Zhou Zhao opened the map on his phone.
"All locations that can be reached within half an hour are here."
Sang Li began scrutinizing the map one by one.
Fan Yun worriedly asked, "Mr. Sang, what if it wasnât her? Besides, Chu Yin might not necessarily be nearby."
Sang Li didnât want to waste time explaining.
Zhou Zhao said, "Would you run all over the city with a kidnapped person?"
"Of course not, youâd definitely find a safe place to hide," Fan Yun answered instinctively.
"Kidnapping at the airport and then returning to the city involves too many surveillance cameras and too many variables. As long as Zhang Shutong isnât foolish, she wonât waste this time."
"That makes sense, but what if they arenât together?" Fan Yun worriedly asked.
Zhou Zhao added, "Kidnapping requires planning, not impulsiveness. Now that sheâs captured someone she detests, does she stay to see Chu Yin in a sorry state first or wait near the airport for you to change your mind?"
"I... understand."
Fan Yun nodded, "So when Zhang Shutong arrives, what should I say to her?"
Zhou Zhao looked at him, "Use your acting skills, stall her as long as possible, ideally until weâve rescued Chu Yin."
Fan Yun was about to say something when Sang Li suddenly pointed to the map.
"Here."
