Chapter 228 Celebrity Disappearance, What a Magical Start?
The day after they left, the strange and mysterious fog indeed dissipated.
The rescue team went up the mountain immediately and found that the people on the mountain were in relatively good condition, which relieved everyone.
However, when the two sides compared their accounts, they discovered that two actors were missing.
These are not just two ordinary actors; they are not only the hottest and most popular stars right now, but they also come from wealthy and influential families.
If this news gets out, countless eyes will be focused on Monterey Park, and fans will probably overturn the official Monterey Park Culture and Tourism account.
And then there's the Fang family, one of the top families in the country. If the head of the Fang family were to come in person, the pressure from above would probably be even greater.
The person in charge was in a real bind. This couldn't be kept secret any longer, especially with so many media people present. It was likely to become a trending topic on social media very soon.
He didn't dare delay and repeatedly confirmed with the crew, "Did they really drive down the mountain yesterday?"
"Yeah, didn't you see anyone?"
"...We set up a checkpoint on the way down the mountain, and so far we haven't seen a single vehicle coming down the mountain."
Everyone's expression turned serious. "It's over. The Fang siblings absolutely mustn't be in any trouble. If they didn't come down the mountain, there's only one possibility: they went into the mountains..."
"...Do you know how big this mountain is? Even the locals don't dare to go deep into it. If they really drove in and didn't hear anything for a day and a night, they're probably in grave danger..."
"Shut up."
Wu Cong's face was as white as paper. He hadn't said a word since the beginning, clearly indicating that he had already considered the worst-case scenario.
Yesterday, more than an hour after Fang Ke and the others left, he started calling them, but all he got was the same mechanical message: "The number you dialed is abnormal and cannot be connected at the moment."
He didn't sleep a wink last night and has been holding on until now.
"Captain, let's search the mountain. I'll go with you."
Wu Cong spoke in a hoarse voice, "Please escort the people who want to go down the mountain first, so that no other accidents happen."
"This matter will definitely trend on social media, it can't be kept secret, but our production team can hold back and not release any information for now, so as not to make things more difficult for you."
"If there are any procedural issues that get you stuck, just let me know. I know some big connections that might be helpful..."
What else could the rescue team leader say? Wu Cong had already considered almost everything. He nodded and offered a few weak words of comfort to Wu Cong, telling him to calm down for now.
On the one hand, they arranged for people to evacuate and escort these staff members and media down the mountain, and on the other hand, they consulted with the team.
Fortunately, Wu Cong and his team had registered before coming to Mengshi to film, and they also contributed to promoting Mengshi.
The leadership team immediately took the matter seriously and ordered them to conduct a search on the spot, with support to arrive shortly.
The captain patted Wu Cong on the shoulder, "Brother, why don't you take a rest? You haven't slept all night, have you? You look terrible."
Wu Cong wanted to say something more, but he reassured him, "I know you're anxious, but this is the critical 24 hours for rescue. Our search is very intense, and you might not be able to keep up. Just rest here for now, and you can come with the reinforcements when they arrive."
Wu Cong thought for a moment, then nodded with a ashen face, his eyes even welling up with tears.
"Was I cursed yesterday? I shouldn't have let them leave!"
Wu Cong seemed to have aged ten years overnight and was consumed by endless self-blame.
One of them was his longtime friend, and the other was someone he greatly admired; now, they had both disappeared in the snowy forest.
What should he do if something really happens to them...? Where can he go to atone for his sins?
Su Yao glanced at Wu Cong from afar, sneered inwardly, turned around, picked up her suitcase, and mingled with the others as they descended the mountain.
That afternoon, a piece of news that was being covered up suddenly became a trending topic.
#A man and a woman reportedly missing in a snowy forest in Montenegro#
The topic quickly became a trending topic, but initially it didn't generate much discussion. Many of the comments were from casual readers who simply hoped the person would be safe.
In recent years, there have been many tourists who have gone missing or drowned at scenic spots. People often assume that these are just some hikers who ignored warnings and wandered into restricted mountain areas, and some even mock them, saying that they deserved it.
Soon, some people analyzed that a strange fog had been reported in local news in Monterey Park a few days ago, and the location where it occurred and the location of the disappearance seemed to be in the same place.
The man and woman most likely got lost in the fog and went missing in the snowy forest.
This news added a lot of suspense to the story, and many people investigated the strange fog and discovered that it really existed...
But something even more terrifying happened. Many locals said that the strange fog occurred near White Wolf Peak, where only one film crew was shooting recently, and there were hardly any people around.
Therefore, the missing person is very likely a member of the film crew.
Recently, only one film crew has been shooting in Monterey Park, namely the crew of "The Legend of Wan Yue".
The hashtag was quickly changed to #A man and a woman suspected of being missing from the crew of "The Legend of Wan Yue".
This almost instantly ignited the entire fan community, shocking even casual viewers who weren't following the show, who all clicked in to see the live discussions.
A celebrity has gone missing – what a bizarre start!
Everyone is frantically tagging the official account, demanding that they come out and explain the current situation of the production crew.
However, the production team's last update was a week ago, and they haven't posted anything since.
Fans of all the actors in the production crew have spoken out, demanding to know whether their idols are currently safe.
The scene was chaotic for a moment, and someone spread the word that the male and female protagonists might have gone missing.
Fang Yefan's fans were shocked and devastated, while Su Yao's fans went berserk and launched a vicious attack on the production team.
【Give me back my daughter's life! God, if you're going to punish this fraudulent production team, you should punish those who get involved through connections. What does this have to do with our Yao Yao? I heard she fell ill for two weeks as soon as she arrived, her scenes were stolen by those with connections, and she's been constantly targeted and suppressed. Damn it, if anything happens to her, I'll haunt the 'Wan Yue Zhuan' production team even as a ghost!】
Such comments were posted almost continuously, causing a huge wave of fans to feel aggrieved by Su Yao.
In the square, a message of sympathy for Su Yao and a curse against Fang Ke appeared almost every second.
They were still furious when they stormed into Fang Ke's Weibo account and flooded her comment section.
The first comment, which received over 100,000 likes, was: "Why wasn't it you who went missing? If anyone should die, it should be you!"
Just after the official accounts of the Mengshi Culture and Tourism Bureau and the Public Security Bureau were also compromised, the Mengshi Public Security Bureau issued a blue-background, white-text announcement.
Our bureau has indeed received a missing person report, and the information of the missing person is now confirmed as follows:
Fang, male, 27 years old, from Jingzhou.
Ms. Fang, female, 24 years old, from Jingzhou.
The two individuals did indeed go missing in unusually dense fog. We are currently conducting a full-scale search and rescue operation. If anyone has any information, please provide it.
The announcement shocked fans of Fang Yefan, Fang Ke, and Su Yao, as well as people from all walks of life.
So the missing person wasn't Su Yao, but Fang Ke and Fang Yefan?
Many fans were stunned, incredulous and devastated, and even wanted to destroy everyone.
Before Su Yao's fans could delete the curse posts and posts that were meant to torment them, they were all wiped out by Fang Ke's enraged fans.
You'd better pray for your safe return, or I really will take revenge on everyone.
In Su Yao's official fan group, this Weibo post was screenshotted and ridiculed, and the group was actually laughing.
[This is hilarious! What does it have to do with us? They'll get their comeuppance.]
May the spirits of heaven and earth protect that woman and prevent her from ever returning.
[They even said they wanted to get revenge on us, haha, come on, let them do whatever they want.]
Sisters, I photoshopped a picture of Fang Ke in her funeral portrait, hehe. I'll give it as a gift later, so don't thank me too much, Fang Ke's fans.
【beg. 】
【beg! ! 】
But as soon as she sent the picture, it suddenly showed that the message failed to send, and then her phone seemed to have been infected with a Trojan horse, and the screen went black and the phone crashed.
The fan was so angry that she turned her phone off and on again. It was the perfect moment for her to make an appearance in front of her group members, and her phone just failed her at the crucial moment.
She cursed as she turned on her phone, and a grayish-white human face jumped out, staring at her with wide, sinister eyes and blood-red lips as if it had drunk human blood.
"ah!!!!"
Startled, she threw her phone away. It took the fan a long time to pick it up and look at it in a daze.
Her phone's lock screen had been replaced with a funeral portrait at some point, but this portrait wasn't the one she had just photoshopped; the face was that of her idol, Su Yao!
