“It must be Director Zheng who told us to turn on the GoPro.” Lai Meiqi said as she took out her phone and scanned the message displayed on the screen.
"I'll go open it."
At that moment, the car, which was driving normally, suddenly stopped. She thought the driver had thoughtfully stopped so she could get her GoPro.
The next second, the car door was suddenly pulled open, and three unfamiliar men wearing hats and masks squeezed in from both sides.
"Who are you? Why are you getting in our car!"
Three daggers were held against her fair neck; everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly.
"Ah Biao, go!" One of the men moved the dagger closer, pressing it against Lai Meiqi's neck, and said viciously, "Don't speak, or I'll slit your throat."
The car drove away quickly.
Lai Meiqi was so frightened that she bit her lower lip tightly, and the cold blade made her body tremble uncontrollably.
The driver was definitely not a good person; they were in cahoots!
Startled awake by the voices, Yao Bin, seeing the knife pressed against his shoulder, looked bewildered: "Is this some kidnapping game that Director Zheng arranged for us?"
He pressed his fingers against the dagger and pushed it to one side: "The knife looks real, but it's better to keep it further away. It's just a game, it doesn't need to be too realistic."
Luo Shimiao lowered his eyes and sighed inwardly, "What an idiot!"
The man, whose only visible feature was his eyes, pressed the dagger against the man's artery: "Do you still want to play a game?"
Yao Bin was dumbfounded and said, "They are...the real kidnappers!"
"You're only just realizing it?" Luo Shimiao glanced at the situation inside the car out of the corner of her eye.
If it were just her being held hostage, she could easily escape, but now that both of them are being held hostage, she's afraid the assailants will attack them if she tries to fight back.
The knife was so close to her neck; the slightest movement could be fatal. She dared not take that risk.
The three people's hands were tied with rope, and their mouths were sealed with duct tape.
"Hello, Baobei, answer the phone! Hurry up and answer it, or I'll hang up. Baobei, Baobei, are you there? Answer the phone now, are you deaf? Baobei..."
The kidnappers all turned their attention to Luo Shimiao's coat pocket.
Luo Shimiao blinked, her eyes seemingly saying, "Isn't the new ringtone I just set today pretty good?"
The phone rang for a while and then hung up. The call then went to Lai Meiqi's phone.
The kidnapper holding Lai Meiqi hostage reached into his pocket, took out his phone, and turned it off.
Luo Shimiao and Yao Bin's phones were also confiscated and turned off.
Little Green remained nestled against Luo Shimiao's chest, too afraid to utter a sound in the current situation, lest it be accidentally killed.
Meanwhile, Zheng Xiaopeng frowned as he looked at the endless stream of unanswered phone calls: "What's going on! The live broadcast is over, what are these little brats trying to do?"
"Go contact the people at their studio and ask them what's going on!"
The staff inside the vehicle all took out their phones to make calls.
A dozen minutes later, Zheng Xiaopeng's assistant shook his head and said, "Teacher Shi Miao's assistant replied that they also couldn't get through to him by phone."
"Teacher Meiqi's assistant made several calls, but no one answered."
"We can't get in touch with Teacher Yao Bin either."
Zheng Xiaopeng's hand fell limply to his thigh, a bad premonition rising in his heart: "Something bad is going to happen! A car accident!" Suddenly remembering something, he grabbed his assistant's hand: "Quick, call the driver!"
He hesitated for a moment, then said nervously, "Today's driver is a substitute driver. The original driver wasn't feeling well, so they found someone to replace him, so...they didn't leave a phone number."
"Then go find the original driver. Do I really need to tell you that?" Zheng Xiaopeng said, scratching his head in frustration.
"Yes, Director Zheng." The assistant quickly searched for the driver's phone number in the work group.
A minute later, a clear and articulate female voice rang out in the carriage: "Hello, the user you dialed has suspended service."
A sense of dread gripped everyone's hearts; it was all too coincidental! People who were driving yesterday were unreachable by phone today, as if it had all been premeditated.
Zheng Xiaopeng closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. After a moment, he said, "Post an announcement on Weibo saying that today's live broadcast is postponed and the time is to be determined."
Assistant: "Okay."
"We also called the police and called everyone in the company out to search for the person separately."
"Okay, I'll pass the message on right away."
