Chapter 117 Don’t be afraid, I’m here
Five o'clock in the morning, at the Sunrise Hotel near the film and television base.
In order to film this drama, Zhang Rui has been living here since the preparation stage, and has been staying in this hotel for more than three months so far.
He is familiar with everywhere here.
He is also very familiar with where the surveillance cameras are and when the security guards are absent.
At this moment, he quietly placed Chu Yao's body in the innermost part of the cold storage, in a box filled with shrimps.
It would be too obvious for him to go out and dispose of the body now, because many people saw him leaving Chu Yao at the inn to rehearse the play.
So he planned to keep her for two days to create some alibis for himself, and then find an opportunity to secretly transport the body away.
He closed the cold storage door.
He returned to his room and casually called several screenwriters to wake them up, saying that they needed to urgently delete or revise some scenes.
-
In the cold storage.
The costume Chu Yao wore was loose, so she always kept her small bag close to her body inside her coat.
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound and the phone vibrated against her waist.
Chu Yao struggled to open her heavy eyelids.
Lack of oxygen can cause a brief state of suspended animation. When she was shocked by the cold air just now, she became somewhat conscious.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open her eyes, and her body seemed to be out of her control.
It wasn't until she felt her phone vibrate that she finally opened her eyes.
She quickly took out her cell phone.
It was Aunt Jiang who called.
But when she clicked the answer button, the phone suddenly turned off automatically!
I tried to boot it up again, but it wouldn't turn on!
Damn! My iPhone won't turn on when it's frozen!
She sat up, stroking the container beside her, but her brain was still dizzy from lack of oxygen.
She tried to take a deep breath, but the cold air that poured into her nose made her vision go black.
Also try to breathe through your mouth and try to call for help.
But she felt a sharp pain in her throat, like a knife scraping against it, and she couldn't make a sound at all!
The door of the cold storage is very thick and cannot be opened from the inside.
She felt pain in her hands and feet at first, but now she no longer feels any pain.
She knew this was not a good sign and that she was about to freeze to death.
Was I not strangled to death but was I going to freeze to death here?
No, she still has a lot of things to do...
She touched her bag.
She had originally planned to stay with the crew for a few days, but was afraid that she would not be able to contact Qin Jiahuai, so she brought her diary with her.
She had an idea...but wasn't sure if it would work.
She always waited a few days before a crisis was about to happen before telling Qin Jiahuai to stop it.
This is to avoid the time being too long and him forgetting.
If I tell him I'm here now.
Then would the memory of 27-year-old Qin Jiahuai be refreshed immediately and would he rush over to save her immediately?
Or, for him, it was just mentioned once in a communication with his future daughter ten years ago, and he has already forgotten about it and has no recollection of the crisis today?
But she has really reached her limit now, and this is the only way left for her!
Chu Yao took out her diary and tremblingly wrote a line:
Chu Yao: [Around 5:00 AM on May 13, 2025, in the ice storage room of the Sunrise Hotel near the East Suburbs Film and Television Base, rescue...]
She still couldn't finish writing and lost consciousness again.
-
On the highway.
Qin Jiahuai and Qin Mingcong sent Jiang Yuman to the airport together.
Jiang Yuman originally planned to stay here for a few more days.
But in the early morning, she suddenly received a call from the laboratory saying that there was a new breakthrough and asked her to go back immediately.
She bought the earliest flight to leave.
She originally planned to meet Chu Yao before leaving.
But when I called her, she hung up.
When I called again, the phone was turned off.
Jiang Yuman guessed that Chu Yao was asleep and didn't see clearly. After all, it was only early in the morning, so she decided not to fight.
Halfway through the drive, Qin Jiahuai's back stiffened, and a chill spread from his heart to his whole body. He quickly pulled over.
Jiang Yuman, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was completely confused: "Xiao Huai, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, I can't see you off." Qin Jiahuai turned back and said to Qin Mingcong, "Uncle, please take my mom to the airport. I have something urgent to do."
It was the first time that the two elders saw him so panicked.
They couldn't ask any more questions for the time being, for fear of wasting his time, so they got off the car quickly.
Qin Mingcong also brought people with him.
He called over his two most trusted people: "Banker wins, Player wins, you two follow Xiao Huai and go see what happened. Keep me informed."
The two men said "OK" and drove over quickly.
-
The road from the airport is very close to the film and television base, and Qin Jiahuai quickly found the ice storage.
Zhuang Ying was still communicating with the hotel staff in the back.
Qin Jiahuai couldn't wait any longer and pried the door open and went in.
Chu Yao was lying in the ice storage where she would be most easily discovered.
Although he had guessed it long ago, when he saw her lying there in a pale state, his breathing still stopped and his heart was instantly pinched by an invisible hand.
He forced himself to remain calm, and immediately went over to pick her up and carry her out.
Xianying followed behind him and saw that Chu Yao's skin had turned bluish-white due to the freezing, without a trace of the blood color of a living person.
Xianying quietly reached out and felt Chu Yao's aorta.
There is indeed no sign of living people!
They were late...
But seeing that Qin Jiahuai was on the verge of collapse, he didn't dare to say it.
I could only ask tentatively: "Should we call the police or an ambulance?"
"Get me a room first, then call an ambulance!" Qin Jiahuai's voice couldn't stop trembling.
Xianying immediately went over and did as he was told.
After the room was opened, Qin Jiahuai immediately took Chu Yao into the bathroom.
He first filled a bathtub with warm water.
Then strip Chu Yao naked and put her in warm water.
Always keep the tap running with warm water, ensuring the temperature remains around 40 degrees.
Qin Jiahuai knelt in front of the bathtub, first pressed her cold heart to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and then rubbed her limbs like crazy to warm them up.
"Don't leave me, please..."
His voice was choked, and hot tears kept falling on her cold face.
The water in the bathtub had long since overflowed, soaking his numb knees.
When he was almost losing consciousness, he finally saw Chu Yao's eyelashes move.
Qin Jiahuai's heart finally calmed down and he quickly hugged her.
Chu Yao slowly opened her eyes, her pupils focusing with difficulty, and she murmured, missing his name.
But only blood flowed from the corners of her lips, and she couldn't make a sound.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. It's okay."
He choked to comfort her, then bent down and gently kissed her forehead.
"Master, the ambulance is here!" Zhuang Ying suddenly rushed in and spoke.
In fact, Zhuang Ying didn't have any hope at all, as this place was too far from the city.
It was already like that just now, and the ambulance only arrived at this time...
He didn't even dare to go inside...
"Stop." Qin Jiahuai's voice suddenly came from the bathroom.
Zhuang Ying stopped abruptly.
Qin Jiahuai carried Chu Yao out of the bathtub, dried her, dressed her, and carried her to bed.
At this time, medical staff also came over.
They first gathered around the bed to examine Chu Yao.
Zhuang Ying looked at Chu Yao's face in surprise, which had regained its color.
This is, resurrection from the dead? !
Zhuang Ying murmured, "Resurrection..."
A nurse turned around and replied, "No, frozen patients need to be kept in water around 40 degrees Celsius to rewarm. Once the temperature returns to normal, there's a chance they can be saved! They've already regained their vital signs!"
Anyway, I'm alive!
Zhuang Ying excitedly turned around and looked at Qin Jiahuai, wanting to express his admiration.
But he saw Qin Jiahuai clutching his chest tightly, his brows furrowed, his expression painful, and his hands covered in blood!
