"You brat, where have you been? I was being bullied like this, and you didn't even show your face? Do you think I need you to just freeload?"

"Sister Chen, that's not how it is."

Assistant Xiao Wang spoke with a wronged expression, thinking to herself that even if she had been there, she probably would have been beaten up too.

But she dared not say these words to his face, and could only lower her head and remain silent.

This morning, Chen Yun became a trending topic on social media due to allegations of usury and being a mistress. Her company decided to terminate her contract after considering various factors.

She was just called over by her agent to ask if she would be willing to be an assistant to another new actor in the company.

Xiao Wang was initially hesitant, but seeing Chen Yun's fierce appearance, his initial hesitation vanished.

Seeing her like this, Chen Yun still felt unsatisfied. She had just been bullied in public and made a huge fool of herself, but no one came to help her. Even her little assistant had disappeared without a trace, and was probably hiding somewhere to watch her make a fool of herself.

Thinking of this, her anger reached its peak, and she raised her hand to strike again, but Xiao Wang blocked it with his hand.

"Sister Chen, Sister Min said I won't be your assistant anymore. I'm here to let you know."

After saying that, she didn't look at Chen Yun again and turned to leave.

Chen Yun stood there stunned for a moment, then hysterically roared at her back: "Get out, all of you get the hell out, you traitors!"

She picked up her phone from the ground and tried to call Director Lin Fu, but the call couldn't be connected; clearly, he had blocked her.

Chen Yun stood there, pulling her clothes tighter around her, her eyes glaring menacingly at Gu Baiwei and Du Qingyan not far away. She secretly vowed in her heart that she would make them pay back a thousandfold for the humiliation she had suffered today.

That same day, Chen Yun was removed from the crew by Director Chen, and a replacement actress was quickly contacted and was able to join the filming the next day.

Upon hearing the news, most of the crew members were gloating. After all, Chen Yun had often bullied others on set, both openly and secretly, by taking advantage of Director Lin Fu's reputation. Being kicked out of the crew was a welcome relief.

Because of this incident, the filming schedule was forced to be delayed.

Gu Baiwei and Du Qingyan finished filming all their scenes at around 8 p.m.

The two walked hand in hand toward the dressing room.

By now, it was completely dark, and the filming location was in a remote area. Under the cover of darkness, shadows were everywhere, which inexplicably instilled a sense of fear in people.

Du Qingyan hugged Gu Baiwei's arm tightly, her mind almost uncontrollably filled with the ghost stories she had heard on set that day.

What kind of ghost seeks a substitute, or a wronged spirit comes to collect a debt...?

She glanced at Gu Baiwei and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Weiwei, do you think there really are ghosts in this world?"

Just as Gu Baiwei was about to speak, she keenly sensed that something was wrong. Before she could react, a sharp pain suddenly shot through the back of her head, and both of them lost consciousness.

Two tall men emerged from the shadows, one on each side, and quickly hoisted the two men on their shoulders before turning and disappearing into the dense woods nearby.

Shen Xuan walked over slowly, his gaze sweeping around in confusion. Strange, he had just clearly seen Gu Baiwei and Du Qingyan walking this way, so where did they go?

When Gu Baiwei woke up again, she found herself lying in an old warehouse. The warehouse was large, with only some rusty old parts piled up in the corner.

Her gaze slowly moved downwards, and she saw Du Qingyan, who was still unconscious not far away.

"Qingyan".

She opened her mouth, only to find that her throat was terribly hoarse and her whole body was limp, unable to muster any strength.

His hands were tied behind his back with rope, and his feet were also tightly bound with rope.

In the unfamiliar environment and with her body out of control, a sense of fear rose inexplicably in her heart. But she knew very well that in this situation, she could only try to stay calm in order to have a chance to escape with Du Qingyan.

Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip hard, moved slowly to Du Qingyan's side, and gently bumped her arm with her head.

Soon, Du Qingyan let out a soft moan, her eyelids twitched, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Her vision gradually focused, and she quickly took in her surroundings. Her eyes widened in surprise: "Sister Weiwei, where are we?"

She moved slightly and realized that her hands and feet were tightly bound with rough hemp rope, and Gu Baiwei opposite her was in the same situation.

The two looked at each other and saw the fear and confusion in each other's eyes.

Having been kidnapped before, Gu Baiwei quickly comforted Qingyan in a soft voice when she saw her frightened expression: "Qingyan, don't be afraid, we will definitely escape."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old iron gate creaked loudly.

A tall, thin man with triangular eyes and a lot of white in his eyes strode in, carrying a plastic bag.

Behind him were two burly men. When they saw that the women were awake, all three men stared at them with lewd and ambiguous looks in their eyes.

The tall, thin man at the front glanced at the two of them, tossed the things in his hand to one of the men following behind him, and said with a lewd smile, "Since you're both awake, then have some fun with us brothers."

As he spoke, he grinned maliciously and approached, grabbing Du Qingyan's arm.

Du Qingyan was immediately terrified and her face turned pale: "You... what do you want to do? I am the eldest daughter of the Du Group. I can give you any amount of money you want, as long as you let us go."

The tall, thin man clicked his tongue upon hearing this: "I've never been with a young lady before. I wonder if she's different from ordinary girls?"

As he spoke, he gave a lewd smile: "Of course we want the money, and we want to enjoy the women as well."

"You two need to make sure the photos are clear later, this is our capital to make big money."

He gave instructions to the two men behind him, and only then did Gu Baiwei notice that there was a video camera set up not far behind her.

Her face turned deathly pale. These people not only wanted to ruin their innocence, but also wanted to film the incident to use as leverage, keeping them firmly under their control and doing whatever they wanted.

With a ripping sound, the tall, thin man ripped open Du Qingyan's collar, revealing a patch of smooth, fair skin. His eyes instantly darkened with infatuation: "Tsk tsk, this skin is so tender. As expected of a young lady, to be able to sleep with such a top-quality woman, this deal is a steal."

"Stop! Do you know the president of the Shen Group? He's my boyfriend."

Gu Baiwei hurriedly shouted, and the tall, thin man's face showed fear when he heard her voice, but he quickly returned to normal: "Just a girlfriend. After we brothers have slept with you, I'm sure Boss Shen won't want a slut like you anymore."
