Chapter 70 Successful Disappearance

These fans were so crazy that even though Zhou Heran escaped through the back door immediately, he was still spotted by sharp-eyed fans who kept chasing after him.

Fortunately, Zhou Heran was used to being chased by fans. Even when surrounded, he could quickly observe the terrain.

Weaving nimbly through the alleys like an earthworm, it finally managed to escape the fans' pursuit after running through several alleys.

Zhou Heran, panting, turned around and asked, "Miss Yu, are you alright..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered something very important, and his tone rose several decibels.

"Damn, I almost forgot. You're pregnant, and I ran two miles with you like crazy. If Lao Qi finds out, I'll be beaten to death. Miss Yu, are you alright?"

Zhou Heran felt like he wanted to die.

Little did he know that the person he had dragged along for two miles was not Yu Li, but Qi Xi.

Qi Xi was still in a daze, dreaming.

From the moment Zhouzhou took my hand to the moment she led me on a wild run, she felt like she was in Alice in Wonderland.

So much so that Qi Xi only woke up from her daze after Zhou Heran spoke.

"I'm not Riri... Wait, where's Riri? Oh no, Riri's been left at the coffee shop!"

Zhou Heran looked closely and realized that the person she was running away with was not Yu Li, but her best friend. She immediately felt relieved, as if she had escaped a disaster.

Fortunately, he survived. Otherwise, if he had dragged Yu Li along for two miles to avoid fans and accidentally lost the child, Qi Chenyan would have definitely killed him.

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, this deadly hand came in handy.

"It's alright, I'm no longer in the coffee shop. Miss Yu should be safe now. I'll call her and we'll find another place to meet."

As long as Yu Li is not affected, the other problems are not a big deal.

Qi Xi nodded, then blushed, her eyes darting around, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Um, Mr. Zhou, your hand..."

Zhou Heran then realized that he was still holding Qi Xi's hand, so he quickly let go, feeling somewhat embarrassed: "I'm sorry, things happened so suddenly just now, I didn't tell you, I was abrupt."

Qi Xi waved her hands repeatedly, "Actually, this is still my fault. If I hadn't suggested taking a photo together, Mr. Zhou, you wouldn't have taken off your hat, and you wouldn't have been recognized by the passing fans."

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose face was flushed and whose speech was a little hesitant, Zhou Heran found her quite interesting. He wondered if she was blushing from running or from shyness.

"In that case, we'll split it 50/50, which will cancel each other out. The most important thing now is to meet up with Miss Yu first."

Qi Xi nodded in agreement, like a scallion.

Just as Zhou Heran dialed the number, a cell phone rang in the alley.

Qi Xi was puzzled: "This ringtone... sounds so familiar, it's Li Li's ringtone. Could it be that Li Li has caught up with us?"

They looked left and right, but there were only the two of them in the alley; Yu Li was nowhere to be seen.

"Is it possible that you could look in your hands and see what you're holding?"

Following Zhou Heran's gaze, Qi Xi then realized that it was her phone that was ringing.

She immediately covered her mouth, her face filled with horror: "Oh no, this is Lili's phone! We were taking a picture together, and you grabbed me and ran away. I accidentally took Lili's phone!"

Qi Xi rummaged through her bag again. Her own phone was still inside, while Yu Li's phone was in her hand. In other words, she now had two phones, while Yu Li's was empty.

It's all over, now we can't even contact them.

"What should we do? Should we go back to the coffee shop now? Lili doesn't have a phone, she should still be waiting for us there, right?"

Zhou Heran hadn't expected such an unexpected turn of events. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go back the way you came. Go inside and see if Miss Yu is there. I'll wait for you outside."

Actually, coffee shops are still very unsafe. Since the fans recognized him there, even though they knew he would never go back, given the nature of fans, they would definitely post it online.

By then, everyone will know that he went to that coffee shop. Even if he is long gone, there will be a steady stream of fans going there to check in. This is what is commonly known online as the "fan effect".

But Zhou Heran didn't mention this. Although it was a great risk, nothing was more important than finding Yu Li.

After all, this was Yu Li's first time here, and she was unfamiliar with the place. Her phone had also been mistakenly taken by Qi Xi. If something happened, wouldn't Qi Chenyan fight him to the death?

*

Yu Li originally wanted to make a phone call to ask where Qi Xi and the others had gone so she could go and meet them.

When I checked, I found my phone was missing. I remembered that my best friend had taken it to take pictures and then swiped it.

She wanted to borrow a phone from the shop assistant, but to her dismay, she realized she had forgotten her best friend's long number.

There's no way around it; these days, everyone uses short numbers to contact each other, or they make WeChat calls to save on phone bills. Long numbers are almost never used.

But obviously, she couldn't make short number calls using someone else's phone, and she has now successfully lost contact with her best friends.

I originally planned to wait for them at the coffee shop, but the coffee shop became more and more crowded, all because of the fans who knew that Zhou Heran had just been at the coffee shop.

Even ordinary celebrities can cause congestion when they visit a restaurant, let alone a superstar like Zhou Heran.

The small coffee shop has become increasingly crowded and noisy.

The spot where they had just sat was constantly being used by fans to take photos.

Every fan who came asked the staff what flavor of coffee Zhou Heran had ordered, because they had to drink the same coffee as their idol to truly "check in".

Yu Li didn't even have a place to sit. She thought that with so many fans here, Zhou Heran and the others probably wouldn't dare to come back.

Let's go outside; maybe we'll run into them while we're walking.

Before leaving, Yu Li asked the shop assistant about the time and found that it had been almost two hours. The phone case at the mall should have been DIY'd by now.

"Hello, if anyone comes looking for me later, please tell them I went to the jewelry store to pick up my phone case."

After asking the shop assistant for help, Yu Li went to the mall to pick up her phone case.

Unbeknownst to them, on their way back, Qi Xi and the others received a phone call from Qi Chenyan.

Upon seeing the incoming call number, Zhou Heran felt a chill run down his spine.

"Um, when you answer the phone, whatever you do, don't say you're with me, and whatever you do, don't mention my name!"

If Qi Chenyan knew that his wife had gone out for coffee with him and then got lost, then this day next year would be the anniversary of his death!

Although Qi Xi found it strange, she naturally agreed to her idol's words unconditionally.

"Yu Li, have you returned yet?"

On the other end of the phone came a deep, clear, and magnetic male voice.

Qi Xi touched the tip of her nose, feeling a little guilty.

"Um... Lili isn't with me right now. I'll call you back once I find her?"

Qi Chenyan immediately sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong with her? What happened?"
