Yin Chengjue was shocked. If he understood correctly, Rong Yu had known him for a long time and had been following and secretly filming him for many years.
Could it be that it was the same in a past life?
Yin Chengjue was completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information.
I sat on the bed for a long time before I stood up, feeling a bit stiff.
"I must have opened the door wrong..." Yin Chengjue muttered to himself.
He walked towards the door in a daze, but accidentally kicked the edge of the bed, causing his already stiff body to fall to the ground with a loud thud.
The pain from hitting his head brought Yin Chengjue back to his senses a little. He groped his way to the bedside and tried to prop himself up.
With that effort, he accidentally pulled on the bed blanket, and with a "whoosh," it was ripped off!
The bedsheets were pulled to the floor, and Yin Chengjue slipped and fell to the ground again with a "thump"!
Yin Chengjue was still somewhat dazed after being hit twice.
He crumpled the blanket that had fallen to the ground into a ball, intending to throw it back onto the bed, but when he finished crumpling the blanket and looked at the bed—
Yin Chengjue: O口O!!
On the bed, which had lost its blankets, a... person was revealed?
And it was a person who didn't move at all!
No! To be more precise, this is a life-size body pillow!!!
Because the pillow was so realistic, Yin Chengjue thought someone was hiding there at first glance!
Yin Chengjue slowly stood up, moved over step by step, and reached out to flip the life-size human-shaped body pillow over, finally able to see the face of the body pillow clearly.
This is his face...
Yin Chengjue couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his face, then looked at the face of the pillow.
Why does the face on this cushion look younger?
This idea inappropriately popped into Yin Chengjue's mind.
Yin Chengjue's gaze swept over the entire pillow from top to bottom—it was a pillow that needed to be completely pixelated except for the face.
For a moment, Yin Chengjue didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, he quickly realized that now was not the time to dwell on these things. Rong Yu was still angry with him; he had to find her first.
Yin Chengjue silently covered the life-sized human-shaped pillow with the blanket, then restored everything in the room that he had touched to its original state. He then locked the door, returned to the living room, and put the key back in its place.
Just as he finished doing all that, Wei Shu called. Yin Chengjue answered immediately, but before he could even ask anything, he heard Wei Shu exclaim, "Something terrible has happened! Xiao Yu has been kidnapped!"
The guard spoke very quickly, clearly knowing the urgency of the situation: "I just hacked into the Skynet surveillance system and saw in an alley that Xiaoyu was hooded and forced into a van! The parking space number is Xxxx, and the van is heading towards the outskirts of City A. I'm currently checking the surveillance footage to track it down."
Yin Chengjue: "Keep a close eye on them, I'll chase after them right away."
Yin Chengjue quickly ran out the door, rushed downstairs, and jumped into his car. Just as he started the car, he suddenly remembered something and said to the guard, "I'll call you on WeChat. I need to keep my SIM card connected."
Before Wei Shu could finish saying "Ah," Yin Chengjue hung up the phone, then quickly found Wei Shu's WeChat and called him back.
The guard was a little confused when he answered the phone: "Why?"
Yin Chengjue: "If Xiaoyu calls, don't make sure the line is busy. Don't say anything irrelevant, just quickly report your location."
The guard quickly checked the surveillance footage to confirm the direction the van had left in.
Guard: "This happened two hours ago. That means Xiaoyu was drugged, had her head covered, and dragged into a car shortly after leaving Huansheng Entertainment. No wonder there was no sound when I called her just now!"
Yin Chengjue was in a panic, his mind racing with all sorts of terrifying scenarios, and he was increasingly regretful—he shouldn't have agreed to let Rong Yu sleep alone last night!
Just then, the phone suddenly vibrated, and the guard's voice disappeared. Yin Chengjue picked up the phone and saw that it was an incoming call. The caller ID showed "Xiao Yu"!
Yin Chengjue, however, felt no joy at all and quickly swiped to answer the call.
There was a pause on the phone, followed by a rough, unfamiliar male voice: "Yin Chengjue, Rong Yu is in our hands. If you want to take her away, you'll have to bring 50 million in cash to ransom her."
Despite his mind being in complete turmoil, Yin Chengjue still managed to calm himself down and said in an icy tone, "Heh, the weight of fifty million in cash is equivalent to more than a dozen of me. Are you overestimating me, or are you overestimating your own intelligence?"
The man took a second to realize that Yin Chengjue was insulting him, and said angrily, "Do you think he's lived too long?"
Yin Chengjue: "Are you complaining that money is too much to handle?"
That person: ?
Yin Chengjue: "Turn on the video right now. If I see where he's injured, you can forget about getting any money. You'll be living the life of being hunted down by the police and the entire internet."
The man said, "If you dare call the police, I'll kill him right now!"
Yin Chengjue: "If you kill him, not only will you not get the fifty million, but you will also lose the rest of your life and live a life of being hunted down forever."
Yin Chengjue: "Think it over carefully. Is money more important, or is killing someone more important? Once you've thought it through, give me your answer."
After saying that, Yin Chengjue hung up the phone.
The garrison's WeChat voice call came in immediately. Yin Chengjue answered and asked, "Where are they located now?"
Guard: "...The most likely location is an abandoned factory in the suburbs, because the last controllable surveillance cameras were in that area. Since the factory is abandoned, there are no surveillance cameras that can be hacked... Did you just answer the phone?"
Yin Chengjue: "Yes, it's a call from the kidnappers. They want 50 million in cash. Do you have a car? Help me load the cash into the car and bring it over. I'll pay you back with interest later and then I'll owe you another favor."
"Holy crap, fifty million? That's outrageous! I couldn't even scrape together that much with my allowance over several years!"
Yin Chengjue: "Can you contact Huayun?"
Wei Shu: "Hua Zi is with me. I called him when you suddenly lost contact. It's a matter of life and death! Also, Lei Zi said that his family recently bought that abandoned factory and hasn't had time to demolish and rebuild it yet. If needed, he can find workers to drive an excavator to provide cover for you, and the police can disguise themselves and sit inside."
Yin Chengjue: "Don't alert them. They're not stupid. The car was making so much noise coming into the factory. Do you think they're deaf?"
The phone rang at that moment. When Yin Chengjue saw the name "Xiaoyu" on the screen, he resisted the urge to answer immediately. He silently counted to five before answering, his tone still cold, as if he didn't care: "What? Have you thought it through?"
The person on the other end was clearly very dissatisfied with Yin Chengjue's attitude: "Don't you care whether this guy lives or dies?"
Yin Chengjue sneered: "Why should I care whether he lives or dies?"
The traffic light ahead was red, and without thinking, Yin Chengjue stepped on the gas and sped through!
Time was of the essence; he no longer had time to wait for the traffic light.
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Aren't you two lovers?"
Yin Chengjue scoffed, his tone contemptuous: "Forgive me for speaking frankly, but you've been fooled, haven't you? He's just a minor artist in my company. Because he's currently on the rise and has some potential, and can earn some money for our company, I reluctantly decided to redeem him. If your price had been any higher, I might not have been willing to make this deal."
Yin Chengjue overtook more than a dozen cars in a row, speeding up and faster, which drew a chorus of disgruntled horns from the road.
The person on the other end of the phone, who had clearly heard the sounds, asked suspiciously, "Are you driving right now?"
Yin Chengjue: "What? You're so concerned with everything, even how my driver drives?"
The other side seemed to think they were overthinking it, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, load the money into the car, drive to this abandoned toy factory in the eastern suburbs, the fifth factory on the left, and we'll exchange money for people."
The other person added, "Only you can come. If I see a second person, I'll kill him immediately!"
Yin Chengjue suddenly turned the steering wheel, making a sharp turn, and the wheels left a long mark on the ground.
Yin Chengjue said calmly, "I'm all alone, but you're a group of people. How can I guarantee that I'll see a living person or a dead one? What if you kill him and then deliberately trick me into going there to extort money from me? Wouldn't I lose both my money and my life? You should ask his family for money. My life is much more precious than his."
The voice on the other end said resentfully, "Then what do you want!"
Yin Chengjue: "Turn on the video call, I need to make sure he's alright."
The person on the other end grumbled and hung up the phone.
Yin Chengjue quickly contacted the garrison and told him to prepare immediately so that they could hack into the network as soon as the kidnappers connected.
Wei Shu: "...President Yin, you really have a lot of confidence in my skills."
Yin Chengjue: "You're so capable, I know you can definitely do it."
Guard: "Hmph! Of course! This young master is always ranked at the top on the qhk website."
"Oh? You've never told me any of this before," Hua Yun's voice rang out softly.
Hua Yun: "We'll talk about this properly after this matter is settled."
Garrison: !!!
With the material support from Huayun, Weishu successfully obtained a faster computer. With several computers working simultaneously, they successfully located the kidnappers' specific IP address after they connected to the internet and made a video call to Yin Chengjue. They then successfully hacked into the phone and took control of the camera.
In this way, even if the other side turns off the video, as long as the network is not cut off, the guard can still see everything on the other side through the camera.
Upon seeing Rong Yu in the video, who was tied to a chair and had fallen asleep with her head tilted to the side, Yin Chengjue almost lost his composure and gave the kidnappers away.
