He bribed someone to inquire about Gu Xiaotian's itinerary. Looking at the detailed information in his hand, a sinister smile crept onto his lips.
"Gu Anran, I'll make you pay for offending me, Bai Shaojie. I'll be waiting for you to come begging to me."
Gu Anran and Ye Lichuan left the old house very late and returned to their own villa. As soon as Gu Anran left the old house, she felt extremely flustered.
Seeing Gu Anran clutching her chest and looking unwell, Ye Lichuan came over and hugged her, asking, "What's wrong? You seemed distracted the whole way."
Gu Anran clutched her chest: "I'm not sure. I felt really panicked ever since I left the old house. Is something going to happen?"
Ye Lichuan patted her hair: "Go wash up quickly, don't overthink things, everything's fine, what could possibly happen?"
Gu Anran thought so too, and it seemed that nothing really happened. She shook her head and went into the bathroom.
Ye Lichuan went to his study to attend to company matters. He hadn't expected Bai Shaojie to be so audacious as to do such a thing.
The next morning, Bai Shaojie was dressed in casual sportswear and wearing a seashell hat.
He drove to the vicinity of Gu Xiaotian's workplace to explore the area and find an opportunity to make a move on Gu Xiaotian.
Liu Xinrou knew Bai Shaojie's thoughts. She said words of concern, but actually she was trying to provoke Bai Shaojie's hatred for Gu Anran.
In the past two days, in order to find out the progress of Bai Shaojie's kidnapping of Gu Xiaotian, she has been voluntarily spending time with Bai Shaojie every day.
Liu Xinrou accompanied Bai Shaojie and spoke ill of Gu Anran at length. Bai Shaojie's hatred for Gu Anran intensified.
As always, Gu Xiaotian arrived at the filming location early to wait for the staff and director.
Although Gu Xiaotian is now very popular, he is still as hardworking and easy-going as ever, and never acts like a diva.
The people working with him all liked him very much, and Gu Xiaotian got along very well with them.
Gu Xiaotian arrived a little early today, so the assistant told him to rest in the nanny van while she went to buy him breakfast.
Bai Shaojie, who had been staking out the location, witnessed this scene. He had been waiting for several days and had finally gotten his chance.
He quietly approached the van, afraid of waking Gu Xiaotian, who was reading a script inside. Gu Xiaotian heard a sound.
I assumed the assistant had forgotten something again, so I didn't pay any attention.
Suddenly the van door opened, and Gu Xiaotian looked at Bai Shaojie in surprise.
He was just about to ask who you were when a cloth was put over his mouth, and he swayed a few times before passing out.
Seeing that the man had fainted, Bai Shaojie quickly hoisted him onto his shoulder and drove away along the chosen route.
When the assistant returned from shopping, she opened the van and was about to ask Gu Xiaotian what he wanted to eat when she saw the tablet lying on the ground. Xiaotian was nowhere to be seen.
He was so frightened that he immediately called Gu Xiaotian, but no matter how many times he called, Gu Xiaotian's smartwatch remained unanswered.
The assistant got scared; it's common for celebrities to get into trouble. He picked up the phone and called Gu Anran.
Gu Anran was in a meeting discussing new products for the next quarter when her phone suddenly rang.
Gu Xiaotian's assistant rarely calls her. She was initially prepared not to answer, but then worried that something might be wrong.
She came out of the conference room and answered the phone: "Hello, what's up?"
The assistant said anxiously and incoherently, "Sister, Xiaotian is missing. I've searched everywhere on set, but no one answers the phone."
Gu Anran suddenly felt dizzy. She leaned against the wall, fighting back tears: "Are you sure he didn't go to do something else?"
The assistant confirmed, "Xiaotian was reading a script when I left. The driver took the day off today. I went to buy breakfast and when I came back, he was gone."
Tears streamed down Gu Anran's face as she choked out, "Don't move, I'll be right there."
Gu Anran went back to her office to get her car keys, handed the meeting over to Huo Ge, and made a phone call as she went downstairs.
At the Ye Lichuan Company's performance report meeting, everyone looked at Ye Lichuan's expression and dared not speak, afraid that they would be in big trouble if they said something wrong.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang in the conference room. Ye Lichuan looked at the caller ID and told the person giving the report to pause.
The people below looked at Ye Lichuan with astonishment and suspicion, as if they had seen a ghost. They had never seen such a tender side of the president before.
He answered the phone with a gentle gaze: "Hey, missing me?"
Suddenly, the air below seemed to freeze, and everyone's mouths gaped open, unable to speak.
Ye Lichuan heard the sound of crying and asked worriedly, "Where are you? What's wrong?"
Gu Anran sobbed, "Husband, something's happened, our son is missing."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lichuan's heart sank instantly. He calmly asked, "Where are you? Don't worry, I'll come find you."
Gu Anran looked at the bustling traffic in front of her with teary eyes, and said in a choked voice, "I'm downstairs at the company."
Gu Anran felt as if her legs no longer belonged to her and were no longer under her control.
Ye Li said the meeting was adjourned and ran out without looking back, afraid that something might happen to Gu Anran.
He picked up his car and called his assistant to arrange for the review of surveillance footage.
He didn't know how he got to Gu Anran's company building. He stopped the car and looked for Gu Anran.
He rushed over, picked up Gu Anran, and walked towards the car. Gu Anran looked helplessly at Ye Lichuan, tears streaming down her face.
Ye Lichuan hugged her tightly, feeling sorry for her, and comforted her, "It's okay, don't be afraid. If it's a kidnapping, Xiaotian is still safe until he gets the money."
We'll go to the scene and call the police first, then wait for the kidnappers to call us.
Gu Anran nodded, leaning against Ye Lichuan's chest. Ye Lichuan then drove to the filming location.
People are starting to arrive. The director, having learned about Gu Xiaotian's situation, is also waiting for Ye Lichuan with Gu Xiaotian's assistant, since Gu Xiaotian is more than just an actor.
He is Gu Anran and Ye Lichuan's only son. If something happens to him, he won't be able to explain it to them.
Ye Lichuan, his face grim, led Gu Anran over, and the director quickly explained what had happened.
When the director found out, he sent people to search again, but the result was the same.
When Gu Anran heard the result they said, her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up. Fortunately, Ye Lichuan reacted quickly and caught her.
Ye Lichuan said coldly, "Call the police."
He helped Gu Anran sit in Gu Xiaotian's nanny van and arranged everything.
Ye Lichuan's assistant also arrived and started checking the surveillance footage to help Ye Lichuan handle the situation, while Ye Lichuan stayed in the car with Gu Anran.
The police arrived quickly, learned the details, and reviewed nearby surveillance footage, but found nothing useful.
They came to see Ye Lichuan, but could only wait for the kidnappers' call. Gu Anran held her phone, too afraid to move, waiting for the call.
When Gu Xiaotian woke up, he found himself in a dilapidated old house, his hands and feet bound.
