Her mind was in turmoil, and she said aloud, "I have a very bad feeling that the child might die."
"What?"
Su Mei stared at her in shock.
How could such a cute and well-behaved child...?
Just now on set, she was so adorable, and her laughter was so clear and pure. How could such a pure little girl have such a fate?
She asked, "Brother Yao, did you make a mistake in your calculations?"
Tang Yaoyao frowned, the image of Qiqi's whip marks on her legs flashing through her mind. Her heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Now, you need to investigate her background quickly."
Su Mei didn't dare to delay at all: "I'll check right away."
"good."
Su Mei searched online and quickly found information about Qi Qi's background.
"Brother Yao, I've found it."
Kiki is the stepdaughter of a wealthy family.
When Qiqi was three years old, her father passed away from illness. Her mother remarried, taking her with her as her second wife to a wealthy man.
It's a good thing that a wealthy man has a son, and the two of them get married, making them a couple with both a son and a daughter.
Unfortunately, Kiki's mother had been in poor health for many years and eventually passed away when Kiki was five years old, leaving Kiki all alone.
Fortunately, the wealthy man and his son treated Qiqi very well.
Send her to the best schools, give her every girl's princess dream, and let her grow up pampered by a tycoon.
She started acting in TV dramas and commercials when she was six years old.
She is known as the "little daughter" in the entertainment industry because of her sweet appearance. Many celebrities like her and treat her like their little daughter.
After seeing all this, Su Mei was puzzled: "Since Qi Qi's stepfather and brother treat her so well, it can't be because something bad is going to happen to her family, right?"
Tang Yaoyao shook her head: "Not necessarily."
"How so?"
Tang Yaoyao frowned and leaned back in her leather seat: "Haven't you noticed something?"
Su Mei looked at her in confusion: "What?"
"This is wonderful, everything is just too wonderful, it's perfect, without the slightest flaw. She's living the princess life that her peers dream of, and she's even the youngest daughter in the entertainment industry. It's too good to be true, it's like it's been embellished."
Su Mei recalled Qi Qi's smile and her politeness, and could tell that she was a well-mannered and obedient girl.
"Because she's surrounded by love, that's why she has such a wonderful and likable personality. Brother Yao, aren't you being a bit too conspiratorial?"
Tang Yaoyao remained silent, looking out the window at the director team who were busy with their crafts.
If she hadn't seen the whip marks on Qiqi's legs, she would have had the same thought as Su Mei.
“I saw injuries on her legs; she must have been abused.”
Upon hearing this, Su Mei was shocked and immediately realized: "How could a girl living in such a world be injured? Brother Yao, you're not a conspiracy theorist, that child might really have been abused."
Tang Yaoyao dialed Chu Nian's number.
"Miss Tang, you..."
Tang Yaoyao interrupted her hastily: "Chu Nian, have you left the set?"
There were no honorifics; they were addressed by name directly because of the tension at that moment.
"No, I'm still in the director's office."
Tang Yaoyao said again, "Come out for a moment, something's wrong."
"good."
Two minutes after the call ended, Chu Nian came running over, her usually calm and composed eyes showing some doubt: "Is something urgent?"
"Get in the car first."
Chu Nian opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
Tang Yaoyao turned around and asked, "Where did you find Qiqi?"
“This isn’t the first time we’ve worked with her. We just contacted her brother by phone to ask if she was available. If she was, she came.”
Tang Yaoyao frowned slightly and asked, "Brother?"
"Yes, I heard that he is her stepfather's son. When people in the entertainment industry want to work with Qiqi, they contact her brother."
Tang Yaoyao then asked, "Is her brother an adult?"
"Yes, I'm twenty years old now."
Tang Yaoyao murmured, "Thirteen years older than her, helping her make the choice..."
Chu Nian didn't understand what she meant, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Tang, are you dissatisfied with Qiqi? I thought you two got along very well and that you would like her very much."
Tang Yaoyao shook her head: "No, I do like her very much."
Upon hearing this, Chu Nian was somewhat puzzled: "Then why are you asking me about her? What are your thoughts?"
Do you know where her school is?
Chu Nian nodded: "I know."
"take me."
After saying that, Tang Yaoyao gestured for Su Mei to drive.
Chu Nian was stunned: "But I haven't finished my work here yet."
Su Mei was confused by what Yao Ge had just said. She stepped on the gas and the car sped off.
Tang Yaoyao turned to look at her, her eyes lowered and serious: "If there's a problem, take responsibility."
Chu Nian paused, feeling that Miss Tang wasn't the type to act impulsively, and asked, "Did something happen to Qiqi?"
"Find her before she goes back to school, and then I'll tell you what happens next."
Hearing her serious tone, Chu Nian frowned slightly. Perhaps it really was something important. She didn't say anything more, but just nodded.
Half an hour later, following the directions Chu Nian pointed out, they found Qi Qi's school.
The whole school knew about Qiqi's collaboration with Guoji. The security guard greeted her politely, "Miss Chu has arrived."
Seeing this, Tang Yaoyao could roughly guess that this wasn't Chu Nian's first time at this school.
Chu Nian gave a faint professional smile and asked, "Uncle, I'm here to see Qiqi."
"Shang Qiqi hasn't come back since she left with you."
Upon hearing this, the three girls exchanged glances, their eyes filled with worry.
Chu Nian asked again, "Are you sure?"
The security guard looked puzzled and said, "Qiqi is a little star, everyone's darling. I'm also her grandpa fan. I've been looking forward to her coming back to school. It's true. She left this morning and hasn't come back. Wasn't she with you?"
The last sentence made Tang Yaoyao and Su Mei's hearts sink.
At this moment, Chu Nian gradually realized that Qiqi might be missing, and murmured, "Could it be that her brother took her away?"
Tang Yaoyao suddenly remembered the way Qiqi looked at her when she held Qiqi's shoulder, something she hadn't noticed at the time.
At that moment, my heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, this scene gradually became clearer in my mind.
Was Qiqi asking her for help?
The expectation in her eyes, then the grayness, and finally, the sweet smile that she used to wear to best conceal her inner feelings returned.
My heart sank, and my breath caught in my throat: "Find it quickly! Otherwise, it will be too late!"
Chu Nian didn't know what she meant, but she followed closely behind her.
Tang Yaoyao turned around, her palms sweating with nervousness: "Call her brother and ask if she's with him. You have to find her!"
