Chapter 169 Come Pick Me Up



Jiang Li searched all the easy places to go, but couldn't find any trace of Jiang Xueqi.

She couldn't detect any trace of Jiang Xueqi's presence.

The only thing that's certain... is that Jiang Xueqi is still in these mountains.

Unable to find anyone, Jiang Li stopped wandering around and turned back.

"Have you found him?" Zhao Shuhua asked anxiously as soon as Jiang Li returned.

Although she didn't like Jiang Xueqi either, it was still inappropriate for a young girl to get into trouble in a place like this.

"Couldn't find it." Jiang Li shook her head. "I don't know where it went."

“There’s no need to look anymore.” Jiang Chengying’s face was still gloomy. “She knew exactly where this place was, yet she still chose to run around. Whatever happens to her is her own responsibility and has nothing to do with anyone else.”

Besides, Jiang Li had already gone to see her, which was more than enough for her.

Jiang Chengying's feelings were extremely complicated. Facing Jiang Xueqi, he felt hatred and all his previous affection was gone.

But after all, she was his younger sister whom he had spoiled since childhood, and the thought of her made him feel extremely conflicted.

It hurts, I don't want to face it...

In his current situation, he has no better option than to run away.

“I’ve searched everywhere I can think of around here, ruling out the possibility that she left. She must have hidden somewhere.” Jiang Li said, then couldn’t help but add, “We can’t spare too much energy to look for her. If all else fails, we’ll call the police.”

"If the person hasn't been missing for more than 24 hours, calling the police won't do any good, right?" the director said quietly from the side.

“Then let’s tell the truth and say that someone has gotten lost in these mountains, and ask them to help us find him,” Jiang Li said. “We don’t have much time to waste on someone who’s causing us trouble. Right now, Tian Tian is the most important person.”

"That's true," the director replied, then began dialing the police for help.

The production team has already distributed the guests' mobile phones.

Seeing this, the others also took out their phones and fiddled with them for a while.

"Director, did you make the call?" Zhao Shuqin looked at her phone, her face pale. "My phone has no signal."

"My cell phone has no signal either." The director looked miserable and extremely frustrated.

The other guests were in the same situation.

Even Jiang Li's phone had no signal at all.

As if remembering something, Jiang Li took out Zhao Shuhua's phone.

She originally intended to return the phone to Zhao Shuhua, but Zhao Shuhua refused, stating that it was safer for her to keep it, so she took it.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.

It's unlikely that Zhao Shuhua will be near a mobile phone anytime soon.

really……

As expected, Zhao Shuhua's phone still had a signal.

She handed the phone to the director, saying, "Use this phone to make the call."

The director took the phone, made a call, and then returned it to Jiang Li.

"Why do none of our phones have a signal, but the drawing phone does?" Zhao Shuqin looked at Jiang Li with a clear look of confusion in her eyes.

“Because…” Jiang Li chuckled, casually tossing her phone like a pebble, “this phone is special, to begin with.”

It could emit such a bright light that it almost blinded Zhao Shuhua. Could this be an ordinary cell phone?

This phone has been tampered with, so naturally, it's different from other phones now.

Their phones need a signal to contact the outside world, but Zhao Shuhua's phone has something else in addition to a signal. Jiang Li can use that to contact the outside world.

However, the police are quite far away and won't be able to get here anytime soon.

Fortunately, after arranging all of this, Jiang Li closed her eyes to rest.

She lets things take their natural course, and making things difficult for herself is not Jiang Li's style.

The sky was just beginning to lighten when the police arrived.

After giving the police photos of Jiang Xueqi and Tian Tian, ​​Jiang Li and his group began searching in the mountains.

no way……

Unable to find the exact location, they could only search bit by bit.

so……

It will take a lot of time.

Meanwhile, on Lu Shiyan's side...

He was supposed to be busy for two days, but in reality, he spent one day dealing with the remaining work and another day on the plane.

After getting off the plane, Lu Shiyan went home to pack his things and then headed straight to the village where Jiang Li was filming.

He was so busy on the way that he forgot to go into the live broadcast room.

Upon arriving in the village, he called Lu Jiming.

"Uncle? You're not busy anymore?" Lu Jiming was a little surprised to receive Lu Shiyan's call, and then glanced at the time. "It should still be the middle of the night where you are, right? Don't you ever sleep?"

"I'm at the village entrance, come out and meet me," Lu Shiyan said calmly.

Lu Jiming: "???"

Lu Jiming: "!!!"

What's the meaning?

Is there something wrong with his ears?

still……

"I'll give you ten minutes." With that, Lu Shiyan hung up the phone.

Lu Jiming: "!!!"

Holy crap!!

His uncle really did come!

Lu Jiming immediately put away his phone and ran outside.

But when he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment.

His aunt told him to try not to go out.

but……

There's a big difference between trying to avoid going out and definitely not going out.

Besides, he was picking up his uncle, so it wasn't like he was wandering off.

Lu Jiming immediately ran to the village entrance, where he saw the tall and slender Lu Shiyan standing next to a big tree, looking somewhat out of place in the village.

"Uncle!" Lu Jiming called out, and he was already in front of Lu Shiyan.

"Okay." Lu Shiyan responded, then pointed to the bags on the ground, "Take them back."

Lu Jiming: "..."

It's all food!

There are way too many of these.

Unlike the food he bought in town, what his uncle prepared could be described as...

It's delicious, nutritious, and easy to eat.

"Uncle, where's your car?" Lu Jiming struggled to carry more things, then asked Lu Shiyan with a puzzled look, "Why are you all alone?"

“The driver drove it back,” Lu Shiyan replied.

"Huh?" Lu Jiming was stunned for a moment. "Then you're not leaving?"

"I'll go back with you tomorrow," Lu Shiyan replied.

The filming will only last five days, and more than three days have already passed. We can leave after filming ends tomorrow night, or he can leave tomorrow.

“This…” Lu Jiming blinked, “Uncle, I didn’t say I was going back tomorrow.”

Jiang Li hasn't come back yet; he'll have to wait until she does before they talk.

"Isn't this filming supposed to end tomorrow?" Lu Shiyan felt that the information he had was correct.

Lu Jiming immediately realized that his uncle hadn't watched the live stream, so he said with a bitter face, "Something happened to the production team. Tian Tian has gone missing. My aunt and the others went to look for Tian Tian. Who knows when they'll be back!"

Lu Shiyan's expression changed drastically. He put down what he was holding, took out his phone, and dialed Jiang Li's number.

I can't get through.

With a sullen face, Lu Shiyan asked Fu Yunze for the program director's phone number, but he couldn't get through either.
