Chapter 53 I Have a Private Jet
The director hadn't realized it yet; the group was immersed in the peaceful atmosphere of farming, chatting idly in the live stream.
After Ma Zhiyuan finished planting a crop of corn, he felt something was missing, and after reflecting on it for a long time, he remembered it.
Then, reluctantly, he asked a question.
When will Tu Xiaomao come for his checkup?
The comments section erupted in laughter.
[Teacher Ma is doomed; it seems his sister has successfully manipulated him.]
[Sister: A Damocles' sword hanging over Teacher Ma's head.]
[Teacher Ma used to be a formidable figure online, giving unsolicited advice, but who would have thought he'd one day collapse in a cornfield.]
But as they laughed, everyone realized something was amiss.
[Oh yeah, why hasn't my sister come back yet? Brother Fang Huo has been back for about two hours now.]
[Didn't you say you were delivering medicine to Wolf Fang's owner? How far away do you live, or are you planning to stay for a meal?]
In the production room, the director's eyelids twitched a few times with practiced ease. Although his ability to produce programs was limited, he had a strong sense of crisis.
So they immediately made a decision, sending two staff members to inquire about the current residence of the village chief and his wife Xu Chi, and sending several others to search the surrounding area.
As it turned out, the village chief and his wife were not home, saying they had gone to Da Pang's school, and the staff found nothing.
The director was genuinely terrified. He first scanned the surroundings to make sure everyone else was still there.
Then he quietly said, "Why don't we call the police?"
The staff member immediately took out their phone.
But just then, Nan Ke suddenly spoke up.
"Call Tu Chaoxi first."
Everyone was taken aback and subconsciously looked at him.
Nan Ke remained silent after being woken up by Jiang Ye, sitting quietly to the side like a forgotten sculpture.
Looking up at the director, she said, "Didn't Tu Chaoxi tell you to keep an eye on Tu Xiaomao before she left? You have the right to know that she hasn't come back yet."
The director choked up.
Nan Ke took off his glasses and said calmly, "Besides, Tu Xiaomao wouldn't disappear for no reason. She's either tied up with something and will come back once it's all taken care of."
"...Or maybe she just got carried away and forgot the time. When she remembers, she'll try to contact you, and the only person she can contact right now is Tu Chaoxi."
After those few sentences, the director suddenly understood.
"Yes, yes, you're right!"
"Of course, there's also the worst-case scenario..."
Nan Ke wiped the cold sweat from his hands, a slight smile playing on his lips: "It was her who had the accident."
The director choked up again.
Upon hearing this, the live stream chat exploded.
[Holy crap, what's with that expression on Arsonist's face?! He's actually smiling?!]
[His sister has disappeared, and he can still laugh? How can this person be so strange?]
[He went up the mountain with his sister this morning. Could he have abandoned her there? Don't forget he has a history of arson; he's quite dangerous...]
Even the staff members were now somewhat apprehensive and suspicious, and couldn't help but probe:
"Um... you were the last person to see your sister. What was the last thing she said to you?"
After saying that, Nan Ke suddenly fell silent.
She paused, then smiled wistfully: "...She said she'd make me two medicine packets when she got back."
A sudden silence fell over the surroundings.
The staff were somewhat annoyed.
Having suffered the greatest slander, Nan Ke didn't mind this small test and continued, "Don't worry, the possibility of anything going wrong is not high. Her ability to handle danger is better than all of yours."
Moreover… Nan Ke clenched his fist. Ten years had passed. Heaven couldn’t keep being so cruel to him. Just when he had finally learned to let go and accept things, he was made to lose them again.
[What's going on... The arsonist was clearly smiling, but I feel like he's about to shatter.]
[Quietly retracting my previous guess, it seems the arsonist quite likes his sister...]
[Alright, alright, stop talking. Listen to him, quickly call Tu Chaoxi!]
The director was so frightened by these rollercoaster-like words that he broke out in a cold sweat and dared not ask him any more questions. He then turned on his phone, which had been switched off for four whole days.
As soon as I turned on my phone, there was a bunch of missed calls.
The director glanced at Nan Ke subconsciously. The investors behind the young man seemed to value him quite a bit, as they had made so many phone calls to him.
The director skipped ahead and shakily dialed Tu Chaoxi's number.
...
Meanwhile, in a photo studio, Tu Chaoxi had finished filming the promotional video for that long-established domestic home appliance brand.
The moment the camera was turned off, his face darkened.
Overnight, his solo promotional campaign turned into a duo collaboration, and his filming partner was a young master who appeared out of nowhere.
The young master's stage name is Xu Bai. He is dressed in expensive, jewel-encrusted clothes and is extremely difficult to please.
The entire shoot only lasted two hours, but we spent more than half an hour nitpicking the costumes, lighting, and shooting angles.
After finally finishing filming, Tu Chaoxi didn't want to stay a second longer.
But just as he was leaving, Xu Bai suddenly called out to him.
Hey! Don't go yet!
Tu Chaoxi wanted to scold him, but she also knew that it wasn't easy for him to start over. It was by chance that Tu Yao helped him break through the barrier, and then she worried herself sick and kept defending him in front of the camera.
He held back, then turned and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Xu Bai frowned and muttered, "What's going on? Didn't they say he was a troublemaker? After messing with him for so long, shouldn't they turn on him?"
Tu Chaoxi: ?
"So you came here specifically to target me?"
Xu Bai retorted confidently, "Didn't you bully Chu Meng first?!"
Tu Chaoxi scoffed. It seemed this young master was from Hong Kong, here to stand up for Bai Chumeng.
"Are you Bai Chumeng's friend?"
Xu Bai glanced down at him and straightened his collar: "Yes!"
He and Chu Meng have been friends since childhood. Because he was born into the direct line of the Xu family, everyone was afraid of upsetting him or offending him. No one dared to play with him when they were young, except for Chu Meng, who treated him as a true friend.
So now that his friend is being bullied, of course he has to stand up for her.
By the way... he also wanted to avoid an arranged marriage, since he didn't like Cheng Sangsang from the Cheng family at all.
He had heard Chu Meng mention her a few times. He heard that she was always fighting and surrounded by a bunch of sycophants. In his mind, that young lady was like a grumpy, curly-haired dog. He had no intention of marrying her!
"Chu Meng finally mustered up the courage to follow her idol, but you ended up in the hospital because of her. You're quite something, managing to make a comeback with so much dirt on you. Even my manager wants to work with you."
"Hey! Are you even listening to me?"
Tu Chaoxi was visibly impatient and took out her phone to ask someone to pick her up, but her expression changed instantly after glancing at the screen!
"Shut up!"
Xu Bai was even angrier: "What kind of attitude is this! Believe me or not, I'll tell my uncle and make sure you can never make it in the entertainment industry again..."
But before he could finish speaking, he fell silent the moment he caught sight of that familiar phone number on Tu Chaoxi's screen!
Xu Bai:? ? ? ? ? ?
This... isn't this his uncle's phone number?!
Then I saw Tu Chaoxi dial the number, and before the other end could speak, she started cursing:
"Tu Xiaomao, how can you be so capable? You're eighteen and you still manage to lose yourself. Why don't you just fly to the sky?"
"How can it not be considered losing? It's utterly shameful! Stay put and don't move an inch, or I'll break your legs!"
"Tell Xu Chi to let you stay a little longer. If you're hungry, have him feed you; if you're thirsty, have him give you water. I'll pay when I get back! You hear me!"
He cursed for a full ten minutes before hanging up.
Another call just came in.
He's the director.
Tu Chaoxi answered the phone, saying irritably, "No need to say anything, I know, I've already scolded her, just wait! I'm coming back right now!"
Tu Chaoxi was furious. How did that arrogant brat Tu Yao grow up to be this old?! How dare she lose him like that! If he hadn't forced her to memorize his number before he left, he probably would have reported her to the police by now!
He quickly booked a flight, but just as he was about to pay, someone suddenly poked him.
Turning his head, he saw Xu Bai, who was looking at his phone with a hesitant expression.
"You...you just mentioned Xu Chi? This number belongs to Xu Chi? You know him?"
Tu Chaoxi glanced at him. How come this young master has an accent?
"What's it to you!"
"that……"
Tu Chaoxi was so annoyed she wanted to hit someone: "Young Master, I'm in a hurry to go to the mountains to find my sister, I don't have time to watch you go crazy!"
"You can come back to me with your grudges and hatred later!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the young master, who had just been bossing him around, suddenly changed his attitude completely.
He shrank back, "...I just wanted to say that I have a private jet and can apply for a flight route immediately. Do you want me to lend it to you?"
Tu Chaoxi: ?
