Because it was getting late and the place was remote with few cars on the road, Ye Qing took a little longer to get there because he wasn't very familiar with the roads. However, he drove fast, so the journey wasn't actually slow.
As Huang Fei stood anxiously by the roadside, clutching a hot water bottle and stamping her feet, she saw a car approaching in the distance. She was thrilled because she had called Xi Quan earlier and hoped that he would arrive first so he could take Ye Qing away.
But things didn't go as planned. Ye Qing arrived before Xi Quan. The moment Huang Fei saw Ye Qing get out of the car, he didn't even have time to consider whether he was disappointed.
All he could think about was how to persuade Ye Qing to go back.
"Where is she? Where is Xiaoyue?" Ye Qing parked the car, got out, and quickly walked up to Huang Fei, grabbing him and asking.
Aunt Zhang was following behind, calling for her to slow down, but she didn't even have time to say it.
"It's over there, upstairs." Huang Fei pointed to the distance, where he could still vaguely see the building where he had seen Xu Xiaoyue before, but from the outside, it didn't look much different from an abandoned building.
So at first, no one paid much attention to that place. If Ye Qing hadn't said that Xu Xiaoyue had an accident, Huang Fei would still have thought that Xu Xiaoyue might be filming there, since from the outside it didn't look like a place where people lived.
"Let's go there then," Ye Qing said, heading towards the place Huang Fei pointed to.
Huang Fei quickly grabbed Ye Qing: "We don't even know what's going on over there yet, why are you in such a hurry? Let's wait. I called Xi Quan, and he said he'll notify Liu Yuliang. We'll talk about it when they all arrive."
"What if it gets too late? Besides, there are so many of us, what are we afraid of?" Ye Qing was very anxious and a little irrational.
Looking at Ye Qing like this, Huang Fei was honestly a little jealous, jealous of Ye Qing's feelings for Xu Xiaoyue.
She and Ye Qing were twin sisters, but she didn't seem to have the same strong friendship with Ye Qing as Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue. She was both envious and had to admit that she was a little jealous.
However, Huang Fei also knew that this was not the time to analyze his own emotions. The key was to keep Ye Qing from acting impulsively: "We have a lot of people, but do you know how many people are over there?"
"Xiaoyue and her mother-in-law, and at most Jiang Xinya..."
"How do you know they don't have any help?" Huang Fei asked.
Ye Qing was stumped by the question, but her mind worked quickly: "If we have help, we can't just sit here and wait to die. We need to hurry over there and see what's going on, whether Xiaoyue is in danger or something..."
Aunt Zhang had originally tried to persuade Ye Qing along with Huang Fei, but seeing Ye Qing's attitude, and considering that she had been at Ye Qing's house for a while and had gotten to know her better, she knew that since Ye Qing was here, it was unlikely that she would stay quietly. So she walked over to Ye Qing and said to Huang Fei, who was trying to stop Ye Qing from going over, "She can't stay here either. Let me go with her and see what's going on."
Normally, Huang Fei's emotions are quite calm; any strong emotional changes are almost entirely reserved for acting. However, hearing what Zhang Sao said, Huang Fei couldn't help but raise his voice: "You make it sound so easy. I asked you to come with Ye Qing to persuade her, not to fan the flames. Do you know what's going on in that house? Why did they call the police? It's for extortion! Anyone who does something like that is a vicious thug. Look at Ye Qing's current situation, can't you just..."
Huang Fei was going crazy, but he stopped halfway through his sentence because he caught a glimpse of the house where he had seen Xu Xiaoyue earlier, which had had lights on.
As darkness fell, it was normal for the lights to be on, but with only one house in the area, the lights on stood out starkly and conspicuously.
If it had remained that obvious, it wouldn't have been so bad. But as Huang Fei was yelling at Zhang Sao, the lights in the distance started flashing. The brightly lit house suddenly went dark, and before Huang Fei and Ye Qing could even react to what was happening, the lights came back on instantly.
The house, though out of place, wasn't originally that scary, but now, in this desolate place, it gives off the feeling of a haunted house.
Huang Fei also forgot to lose his temper.
Ye Qing saw it too, but the more she saw it, the more worried she became, and she took another step in that direction.
Because there was no road, Ye Qing stumbled forward on the barren surface.
Aunt Zhang quickly went over to help Ye Qing. Huang Fei disagreed, but seeing Ye Qing staggering forward like this, she didn't dare to insist on stopping him. If Ye Qing fell during the argument, it would be even more troublesome.
Huang Fei sighed helplessly and followed them.
At the same time, he didn't forget to tell his assistant, who had been waiting for Ye Qing with him by the roadside, "Wait here. When Xi Quan arrives, tell him where we went."
Huang Fei's assistant, trembling with fear from the distant lights, grabbed Huang Fei's arm tightly upon hearing her words: "Sister, I'm all alone here..."
Before she could even utter the word "fear," Huang Fei interrupted her: "You're safer standing here. If something really happens over there, you'll be in trouble if you go with them. Besides, the police should be here soon, so it's very safe."
As he spoke, Huang Fei removed his assistant's hand from his arm and hurried after Ye Qing and Aunt Zhang.
The assistant had no choice but to wait for Xi Quan and the others, trembling with fear.
Ye Qing saw that Huang Fei had followed, but said nothing and continued walking forward.
"Follow me." Huang Fei came here to find a secluded place. Near the railway, there was a dried-up arch bridge. The bridge deck had long been destroyed and gone, but the arch was still there.
Since I had been here before, I was somewhat familiar with the place.
Filming period dramas in the wild is actually very hard work. Even if the conditions are bad, it's still her livelihood. She never complains, and she's not the kind of person who's delicate.
However, this time I felt a little regretful, wondering how I ended up in this situation.
Seeing that Huang Fei's mood had calmed down, Ye Qing wanted to say thank you, but then she thought that these were her twin sisters, and it would seem a bit too formal to be so polite.
Moreover, since they didn't grow up together, they weren't that close to begin with, and their polite language would inadvertently widen the distance between them, so Ye Qing swallowed her thanks.
To be honest, Ye Qing was right about Huang Fei's thoughts. Huang Fei was actually quite pleased that Ye Qing didn't say thank you.
As the three of them quietly approached the front of the house, Ye Qing whispered to Huang Fei, "From which window did you see Xu Xiaoyue?"
