However, Wen Yan, who usually replies instantly, did not reply to the message this time.
After waiting for a while, Shen Jinghe completely lost his patience.
He simply made a voice call to Wen Yan.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. It wasn't just a voice call; Shen Jinghe also called Wen Yan, but the result was the same – no one answered.
This is very unusual!
Shen Jinghe realized that something might be wrong; Wen Yan had most likely been deceived!
It's possible that someone impersonated Hou Wenbin and arranged to meet Wen Yan. The key point is that when she came to discuss it with me, I even gave her a boost of confidence, saying that Hou Wenbin was fine.
Shen Jinghe became increasingly agitated. Although the awards ceremony was still being held on stage, he immediately got up and left his seat.
He went straight to Hou Wenbin in the back row, and the other people in the industry present all looked at him with curiosity and surprise.
But he had a bad feeling and couldn't care less about anything else.
He quickly arrived at Hou Wenbin's side, and without bothering with pleasantries, he asked directly.
"Didn't you make plans with Wen Yan tonight?"
Hou Wenbin looked completely bewildered by the question.
He frowned, bewildered, and asked, "What do you mean? What do you mean by arranging a date with Wen Yan? I don't understand. Are you sure you haven't got the wrong person?"
"I haven't come to the wrong person! May I ask when you arrived? This is very important to me."
Although I found Shen Jinghe's behavior inexplicable, he seemed to be in a great hurry.
So Hou Wenbin answered truthfully: "Around seven o'clock, if I remember correctly, we came in around the same time. What's wrong?"
Shen Jinghe did not answer Hou Wenbin's question again, but straightened up and quickly left the audience.
He continued dialing Wen Yan's number as he walked.
Even if he was tricked into signing a shady contract, it wouldn't matter, but the fact that he couldn't get in touch with anyone was what worried Shen Jinghe.
He didn't really know where to look for Wen Yan, but he just couldn't stay here any longer.
He made quite a commotion, and his agent, who was waiting nearby, noticed his unusual behavior and rushed over.
"Jinghe, where are you going? It's almost your turn to go on stage and present the award!"
"I'm not awarding it. Could you please tell the organizers that I have an urgent matter and need to leave immediately?"
"Now?" The agent looked troubled. "It's only a few minutes until your turn. Can't you even wait that long? We can notify the organizers a day or even hours in advance without any problem, but now there are only a few minutes left. If you do this, you'll get blacklisted!"
"Something's happened at home!" The phone still went unanswered. Shen Jinghe was filled with frustration. "So what if you block me? I don't care at all. I have to leave here right now!"
Although Shen Jinghe is arrogant and sometimes very sharp-tongued, this was the first time his manager had ever seen him speak so loudly and get so angry.
But if you put yourself in their shoes, you'd definitely be anxious if something happened at home.
Although the agent felt helpless, he also expressed his understanding: "Alright then, you go back and take care of things at home first, I'll contact the organizers right away to help out."
"Thanks!" Shen Jinghe wasn't an unreasonable person. "It was my fault this time. Please tell the organizers that I will definitely not refuse if they need my help next time. I'm leaving now, I'll leave this place to you."
After Shen Jinghe finished speaking, he raised his hand and ripped off the bow tie around his neck.
He hurriedly left the venue amidst countless flashes of light and the lenses of cameras.
Unfortunately, there were still many entertainment reporters and sasaeng fans waiting outside the venue at that moment. They kept chasing him and taking pictures as he came out, causing great inconvenience to his travel.
For the first time, Shen Jinghe felt an intense hatred for his celebrity status.
After finally breaking through the encirclement and driving away in his car, he had no idea where he was now.
After finding a place to park, Shen Jinghe immediately took out his phone.
He couldn't get through to Wen Yan by phone, and he really had no other choice but to open the family group chat called 'Happy Family'.
Shen has several family groups, but only this "Happy Family" group has the most members.
However, the group has been very quiet, with almost no one speaking in it.
He has never sent any messages in this group.
But today he had no choice but to speak up.
Does anyone know where Wen Yan went tonight?
As soon as he sent the message, someone in the group replied immediately.
It's Su Yang.
"I heard from Aunt Zhang that there's a dinner party, I think it's with a producer. What's up, do you need to see Yan Yan?"
"Hmm, Mom, ask Aunt Zhang if she knows where she met that producer."
"Is it in such a hurry? Wait a minute, let me go ask."
The waiting process felt like an eternity, even for just a few seconds.
Fortunately, Su Yang was quick enough, and she sent a voice message soon after.
With anticipation in his heart, Shen Jinghe immediately turned on the voice chat.
Unfortunately, the content of the voice message disappointed him. Aunt Zhang didn't know where Wen Yan had gone either, as Wen Yan hadn't revealed the location of the dinner party.
Later, Su Yang asked in the group chat that Shen Jinghe had lost interest in watching it.
Wen Yan had specifically consulted him before accepting the invitation. If something really happened to her this time... just thinking about Shen Jinghe made her feel a tightness in her chest.
Once again, he dialed Wen Yan's number.
Fortunately, just when he thought no one would answer, there was a sound on the other end of the phone.
