Chapter 271 Both older brothers have hidden themselves away
Jiang Jingwen: "Then..."
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now." Zhu Xingye interrupted her lightly, his tone containing a slight smile. "I have an important meeting later, so I won't talk to you anymore."
After saying that, Zhu Xingye hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Jingwen's reply.
...
Jiang Jingwen stared blankly at her phone, unable to speak for a long time.
“Zhu Xingye definitely knows about Chaochao’s situation.” Shi Jing said through gritted teeth, her tone fierce.
Xiao Jiming frowned: "He knows, but he simply doesn't want to tell anyone."
“If he won’t tell me, then I’ll go find someone else!” Shi Jing clenched his fist and said to Shi Fei, “Dad, I’ll go find Chaochao’s second and third brothers. Her two brothers have pretty good tempers. If I go to them in person, they will definitely tell me where Chaochao is.”
"Hmph..." Upon hearing this, Shi Fei suddenly sneered, "If I could contact Zhu Ning and Zhu Qian, I wouldn't be here fighting Zhu Xingye to the death."
"...What do you mean?" Jiang Jingwen felt a chill in her heart, and her face turned completely pale. "Uncle Shi, can't you even contact Chaochao's second and third brothers?"
Shi Fei: "I can't get in touch with them. My men went to Zhu Ning's training base and Zhu Qian's hospital, and they were both there, but the people who received them said they were very busy and my men couldn't reach them at all."
"Busy?" Shi Jing narrowed his eyes. "They've been busy for almost twenty hours. Even a donkey would need a break by now."
Shi Fei: "I don't know who gave the order, but the Zhu family is all avoiding us. Two hours ago, I had someone disguised and sneak into Zhu Qian's hospital. Zhu Qian had already come out of the operating room, but inexplicably he refused to see any patients. My men couldn't see him at all."
"Wow, this is so strange!" Duan Qing couldn't stop thinking about it. "Jinzhao is their sister, why are they hiding her away?"
Xiao Jiming: "And as if they had anticipated that we would desperately search for Jinzhao, all three of Jinzhao's older brothers hid in advance. Isn't this just like trying to hide something obvious?"
"...So something happened to Chaochao." Shi Jing's heart sank to the bottom.
Jiang Jingwen's mind raced, and suddenly another person came to mind.
"Yang Min..."
"Yang Min is Chaochao's agent, so she might know something about Chaochao!"
"I'll call her right now!" Shi Jing didn't dare to delay and immediately hung up on Shi Fei, then called Yang Min instead.
Yang Min answered quickly.
"Hello?"
"I am Shi Jing." Shi Jing's voice was tense, and Yang Min immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Time Mirror? What's wrong?"
Shi Jing said directly, "I haven't been able to contact Chaochao for almost twenty hours. Do you know what's going on with her?"
"Chaochao?" Yang Min sounded a little confused. "I sent Chaochao a WeChat message half an hour ago, and she still hasn't replied. What, has she gone missing?"
"She's missing." Shi Jing's voice trembled. "She's been missing for almost twenty hours, and nobody can find her!"
Yang Min: "What about Mingyue? Mingyue lived with her, but we don't know where she went?"
Shi Jing: "Zhu Mingyue has also lost contact."
"...Huh?!" Yang Min's voice cracked instantly, "Zhu Mingyue has also gone missing?!"
Shi Jing: "Yes."
"No... what happened?" Yang Min was clearly panicked. "The second episode is about to start filming, how could they suddenly lose contact? Have you contacted President Zhu to ask about the situation?"
"I asked," Shi Jing said truthfully. "That President Zhu knows why Chaochao is missing, but he just won't tell us. Chaochao's second and third brothers are also all in hiding, so we can't find out anything at all!"
Yang Min: "Huh? How could this be? Did Chaochao suddenly run into some trouble and can't use her phone?"
"Impossible." Shi Jing squeezed his eyes shut, each word he uttered was uttered through gritted teeth.
“Chaochao is very well-behaved. No matter what trouble she encounters, she would never let us lose contact with her. She knows we would be very worried about her! Moreover, her three older brothers know about her situation. Even if she really can't use her phone, she will definitely ask her brothers to pass on her message to us.”
Yang Min: "...Oh, right."
Shi Jing: "If even you don't know where she went, then I really can't help you."
Perhaps sensing the despair in Shi Jing's words, Yang Min quickly said, "Shi Jing, don't worry. The second episode is about to start recording. As long as Chaochao and Mingyue can appear on time, it proves that there is no major problem."
"Take it easy, don't rush or act impulsively."
“…Hmm.” Shi Jing didn’t know what to say.
Yang Min: "I'll try to contact President Zhu. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
"..."
Shi Jing didn't say anything and hung up the phone immediately.
He had no hope for Yang Min's attempt, because Zhu Xingye would never reveal any information to her.
Sure enough, he received a call back from Yang Min in less than ten minutes.
“I called Mr. Zhu more than ten times, but he didn’t answer any of them.”
“Heh…” Shi Jing sneered. “He said he was in a meeting.”
Yang Min: "He can't answer the phone when he's in a meeting, but he usually sends a message to explain that. Why not today..."
"Not a single sound today?" Shi Jing completed her sentence.
She didn't continue, but offered a forced consolation: "Forget it, let's stop speculating. Let's wait until the show starts recording and see if Jinzhao shows up on time. Then everything will be clear."
Shi Jing gave a cold "hmm" and said nothing more.
Yang Min had other things to deal with, and after waiting a few seconds on the other end of the phone and seeing that Shi Jing seemed to have nothing more to say, she immediately hung up.
"What do we do now?" Shen Yichuan pushed up his glasses and asked with a worried look on his face.
Ning Shi sighed: "Let's wait and see. Once the production team comes, we'll know how Chaochao is doing."
"it's useless."
Li Weiwan's voice suddenly rang out at the door.
“…Li Weiwan?!”
Everyone in the living room stood up from the sofa at the same time, staring incredulously at the national movie star who had suddenly appeared.
"Brother Li, why did you suddenly come here?" Ning Shi stared at him blankly.
He frowned, staring intently at Shi Jing in front of him: "I sensed something was wrong here, so I came over."
"Huh?" Ning Shi didn't understand.
Li Weiwan didn't explain to her, but strode towards Shi Jing.
"Have a seat." Shi Jing wasn't too surprised by his appearance.
He sat down on the sofa opposite Shi Jing, and was about to speak when he was caught off guard by Jiang Jingwen's barrage of questions.
"Brother Li, why did you suddenly come to the Shi family? What do you mean by 'useless'? How did you know something happened here?"
