Chapter 148 Something Big Has Happened
Luo Jiayin slapped her face hard, trying to rouse her fading consciousness.
She suppressed her discomfort, took out her phone from her pocket, and dialed Yami's number.
On the other side, Ye Jian was anxiously waiting for news from Yu Jiu in the venue. When he saw that it was Luo Jiayin calling, he immediately answered the phone.
"Hey, Luo Jia." Ye Jian's tone was tinged with anxiety.
"Yami, come to my room immediately. I'm at the door."
Luo Jiayin hung up the phone after speaking, her voice muffled, clearly not in a normal state.
Ye Jian's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no! Something's happened!
Luo Jiayin called him to let him know that she was still alright.
What about Yu Jiu?
If the two of them were together, it would be fine, but if they weren't...
Given how much Luo Jiayin cares about Yu Jiu, if she were to find out that her dearest friend had been tricked right under his nose...
Luo Jiayin would skin him alive...
Gu Yishen had actually been observing Ye Jian's reaction from a short distance away.
He hadn't seen Luo Jia in the venue before. Later, a waiter rushed over and said something to Yu Jiu, who then hurriedly left.
Neither of them has returned yet.
Judging from Yami's expression when she answered the phone, something must have happened. Was that call from Luo Jia, or from that assistant?
Yami put away her phone and walked towards the door as if nothing had happened.
He turned around and looked around at the crowd in the banquet hall. Finding that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly left the venue.
Seeing Ye Jian open the door and leave, Gu Yishen's smile faded, and he said apologetically to Yu Meihua, who was talking to him, "Sorry, President Yu, I need to use the restroom."
"Teacher Gu, please go quickly."
Gu Yishen nodded politely and hurriedly left the banquet hall to catch up with Ye Jian.
Ye Jian was waiting for the elevator at this moment, and was also taken aback when she saw Gu Yishen coming over.
"Is Actor Gu also going back to his room to rest?" Ye Jian asked tentatively.
Gu Yishen smiled and asked, "What's the situation with Luo Jia?"
"Huh? What's going on? What happened to Luo Jia? I don't know anything about it!"
Yami blinked twice and replied, feigning ignorance.
Luo Jiayin asked him to investigate Gu Yishen, so there must be something wrong with Gu Yishen.
Through today's events, he could also see that Gu Yishen seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally getting close to Luo Jiayin.
He asked himself if he had shown any sign of anything amiss, but Gu Yishen's reaction clearly indicated that he knew something was wrong with Luo Jiayin.
How did he know?
Could he have done all of this?
Ye Jian immediately became extremely vigilant, staring at Gu Yishen with an unfriendly expression, trying to glean something from Gu Yishen's expression.
However, Gu Yishen remained calm, letting Ye Jian scrutinize him with a penetrating gaze, his expression unchanged.
To be honest, Ye Jian didn't think Gu Yishen had any ill intentions towards Luo Jiayin. On the contrary, ever since Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen started to interact, Gu Yishen seemed to be secretly helping Luo Jiayin all the time.
But there's an old saying in China: "Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either treacherous or thieves!"
Their circumstances, identities, and purposes are all special, so we cannot let our guard down against them, no matter when or who they are dealing with.
With a "ding," the elevator arrived at their floor. The doors opened to both sides, and Gu Yishen stepped into the elevator first. Ye Jian frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in as well.
After entering the elevator, Gu Yishen put his hands in his pockets and didn't move.
Yami glanced at him, then finally pressed the button for the floor where Luo Jiayin's room was located.
The elevator began to ascend, and the atmosphere inside was eerie.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Gu Yishen broke the silence first.
Ye Jian glanced at Gu Yishen but didn't say anything.
Gu Yishen wasn't angry and patiently continued to talk to him, "Isn't it good to have more people help? Maybe you can't handle this situation."
Ye Jian hesitated after hearing Gu Yishen's words.
Indeed, he still doesn't know what's going on, and his identity means that not everything can be resolved.
"I won't harm Luo Jia." Gu Yishen looked at Ye Jian, his eyes clear. "You should have heard the rumors outside about me and Luo Jia..."
"Well……"
Yami really wouldn't respond to that.
What are the rumors about him and Lo Jia?
Who in China doesn't know that what they call "rumors" isn't just a rumor about him and Luo Jiayin; it's clearly a scandalous affair between them...
Can we really trust this Gu Yishen?
Yami hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
“Luo Jia went back to his hotel room to use the restroom. Shortly after he left, a waiter ran over and said that Luo Jia had fallen at the elevator entrance, either because he was drunk or feeling unwell, but it was nothing serious.”
"Yu Jiu is worried about Luo Jia, and as Luo Jia's assistant, it's only natural that I should go and check on her as soon as possible."
"After that, there was no news from either of them. I called Yu Jiu to ask about it, but no one answered. I thought Yu Jiu was busy taking care of Luo Jia and didn't hear me."
"Just now, I received a call from Luo Jia. His voice sounded strange, and he told me to go to his room immediately."
As she spoke, Ye Jian glanced at Gu Yishen, "And then, Actor Gu, you followed."
Gu Yishen ignored Ye Jian's teasing and instead stroked his chin, pondering carefully.
"What do you plan to do?" Gu Yishen asked Xiang Yejian.
“In this situation, of course we should first confirm Luo Jia’s safety,” Ye Jian said without hesitation.
“We’re on the thirteenth floor now, and there are less than ten floors left. While the elevator is still running, we can use this time to contact the hotel manager or the police and ask them to come here as soon as possible.”
“If that’s the case…” Gu Yishen seemed to be deep in thought.
“If we do this, no matter what happened to Luo Jia today, it will be common knowledge within an hour.”
Ye Jian was a little confused after hearing Gu Yishen's words.
"Of course we need to let people know, otherwise how can we guarantee his safety?"
Gu Yishen, however, did not think so.
"Do you think Luo Jia encountered some danger, or was he kidnapped?" Gu Yishen raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Jian.
"No matter what it is, shouldn't the first thing be to call the police?!" Ye Jian looked at Gu Yishen as if he were an idiot.
He felt that this movie star seemed a little dim-witted.
Ye Jian picked up his phone to make a call, but Gu Yishen, seeing that he had already pressed the emergency call button halfway on the screen, suddenly reached out and stopped him.
