My CP Rumor With The Movie Queen Has Gone Viral

Chapter 102: Teacher Wen Will Be Sad If I Leave

Ruan Jinghong got into a gray Volkswagen with the assistant director.

The assistant director was a person of few words. Ruan Jinghong herself had a somewhat introverted nature, so the two of them quietly proceeded on the journey.

The driver was in front, driving, while the slightly plump assistant director sat next to Ruan Jinghong in the backseat, occupying almost half of the space.

Not feeling comfortable playing with her phone in the presence of her superior, Ruan Jinghong discreetly shifted her gaze to the scenery outside the window.

With a quick glance, she sensed that something was amiss.

"Director Ren, it seems like this road is not the way to the film set. The scenery outside is completely different from when we came."

The assistant director was busy sending a message on his phone, his tone carrying a trace of irritation.

"There's more than one way to the film set. How many times have you been here, little girl? Are you more familiar with this area or am I?" 

Ruan Jinghong didn't expect her simple question to upset the assistant director so much.

She obediently closed her mouth and didn't dare to speak again. However, she had an uneasy feeling in her heart and decided to take out her phone from her bag to navigate on her own. 

To her surprise, she searched through her bag for a while, but the phone seemed to have vanished into thin air. 

Strange, I had checked it before leaving, I'm sure I put it inside my bag.

Ruan Jinghong made an effort to recall every scene from the moment she left the restaurant until now. 

She remembered that when she was about to get into the car, the assistant director said the car door was too narrow and it would be inconvenient for her to get in, so he offered to hold her bag for her. 

At that time, the assistant director was still very kind and amiable, completely different from his current impatient demeanor. 

And just as the assistant director was about to get into the car, someone suddenly called him, so he went aside to chat for a couple of minutes. He got into the car a full minute after Ruan Jinghong. 

So, was my phone taken during that moment?

Ruan Jinghong understood this layer and was somewhat horrified.

Although she usually had a silly and carefree demeanor, she still had a basic sense of danger as a person. 

Naturally, she wasn't foolish enough to think that the assistant director went through all this trouble just to steal her phone. 

So, now that he has deceived me and taken away my means of communication, could it be that he's involved in human trafficking?

In broad daylight, that couldn't be possible!

Ruan Jinghong cracked open the car window slightly, contemplating the possibility of escaping through the window.

Then, as she observed the receding speed of the scenery on both sides, she became hesitant.

On the other side, Wen Jin enthusiastically arrived at her girlfriend's resting room, only to find it empty.

She encountered Xiao Yuan from the neighboring room and learned that all the actors of the entire crew had been invited to a dinner gathering. No one had brought their assistants, and naturally, Ruan Jinghong couldn't make any exceptions.

Wen Jin opened WeChat and indeed saw the messages sent by Ruan Jinghong, along with photos of the scenery on the way, the restaurant, and the food. She received a photo almost every 20 minutes.

Many of the photos were slightly blurry, appearing as if they were hastily taken in secret.

She truly remembered the joke Wen Jin made before, that Ruan Jinghong would seize any opportunity to message her when she wasn't working.

Logic told Wen Jin that she should stay in the room and patiently wait for her girlfriend to return.

But for a couple deeply in love, a day apart feels like an eternity. And for Wen Jin, who hadn't even settled into her location, she drove towards the restaurant where the crew was having their dinner gathering.

She cleverly brought Xiao Yuan along, planning to find a suitable reason to get her girlfriend out early once they arrived.

It wasn't a film shoot or a wrap-up, so why gather for such a long time?

The road sections on this route were clear, and the white Porsche arrived near the restaurant in just half an hour.

Wen Jin was impatient, but in order to keep a low profile, she could only wait in the car.

Following the boss's instructions, Xiao Yuan went to the private room to fetch the Madam. Soon, she returned with some news.

"Boss, Madam's colleague from the crew said that she left the gathering an hour ago, saying she went with the assistant director to the film set to do some additional shooting."

Additional shooting?

Wen Jin distinctly remembered driving past the film set just twenty minutes ago, and it was completely deserted.

She took out her phone and opened the WeChat chat window. The last message was sent an hour ago.

With Ruan Jinghong's tendency to report her whereabouts, even if she was in the car, she should have found a moment to send another message.

Wen Jin felt that something was off. She dialed Ruan Jinghong's phone number, but all she heard was the busy tone indicating the line was occupied.

Oh no!

Wen Jin was about to contact the restaurant to request the surveillance video of customers entering and leaving an hour ago when she received a call from Wen Qing.

"Sister, I found out about that temporary worker who caused trouble on the day of the shoot that you asked me to investigate. The person behind his actions turns out to be Lin Mu!"

The gray Volkswagen arrived in front of a somewhat dilapidated building, with no signs of any living souls nearby.

Ruan Jinghong watched as the speed at which the scenery passed by on both sides slowed down. Before the car came to a complete stop, she opened the door and tried to slip into the alley.

However, she was unfamiliar with the terrain in this area. Before she could take a few steps, a pile of obstacles on the ground tripped her up. The driver caught up with her from the car and grabbed the back of her collar, lifting her up as if she were a little chick.

Ruan Jinghong was practically dragged into a room in the building. The driver didn't hold back, and he threw her to the ground. Her delicate arms were scraped, causing a searing pain.

The assistant director was nowhere to be found at this point. It seemed that his task was to deceive and bring her to this place.

Inside the room, including the driver, there were a total of five adult men, all of them strong and burly. They surrounded Ruan Jinghong, who had fallen to the ground, with greedy expressions in their eyes.

Overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of oppression, Ruan Jinghong's voice trembled as she asked, "Who sent you here? If it's about money, I can give you double."

Although she might not be able to afford double the payment, she wanted to appease them first.

At that moment, a burst of boisterous laughter grew closer and closer. A flamboyantly dressed young man walked into the room.

"Hahaha, you actually want to compare wealth with this young master? You foolish little bitch, your brain must be messed up."

Ruan Jinghong looked at the man before her, whose face wore a smiling expression while his eyes were filled with resentment. She had a feeling that she had seen him somewhere before, that overwhelming sense of greasiness...

"You are... the gentleman from the social gathering last time, the one with the fancy demeanor?"

Ruan Jinghong actually wanted to say "that shameless gentleman," but her survival instinct made her change the adjective temporarily.

Lin Mu walked up to Ruan Jinghong and squatted in front of her, his expression extremely arrogant.

"Your eyesight is not bad, but even if you recognize this young master, it's useless. Because even if you go to the police afterward, there won't be any evidence."

Lin Mu grabbed Ruan Jinghong's cheeks with his hands, his voice filled with malice. "You've deceived A'Jin with your pitiful act, haven't you? I originally wanted to destroy your face directly, but then I thought, I should just destroy you completely to relieve the anger in my heart. Such a deceptive face should be carefully observed by the entire nation's audience."

The intense crisis stimulated Ruan Jinghong's mind to work at five times its usual speed: This person should be Teacher Wen's pursuer, but since he couldn't have Teacher Wen, he came to take it out on me.

However, just knowing this was not enough. She had to find a way to escape from here.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu had set up a camera on the side, looking like he was eagerly awaiting the show.

This posture reminded Ruan Jinghong of some scandals in the entertainment industry, and fear surged within her.

Driven by a strong survival instinct, she began to talk nonsense.

"You like Teacher Wen, right? But now you're planning to harm her friend. If something happens to me, even if she had a crush on you before, she will definitely have nothing to do with you in the future."

Lin Mu heard the phrase "even if she had a crush on you before," and his expression momentarily flickered with confusion, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Who are you trying to deceive? You're just A'Jin's friend? Then how did Grandma Wen's jade bracelet ended up in your possession?"

Once the lies begin, they can give birth to countless more lies.

"That was a facade loaned to me by Grandma Wen. As a good friend accompanying Wen Jin, I can't let her lose face. Teacher Wen had been single for thirty years before, rejecting all suitors who came her way, so she could only find me, her good friend, to accompany her."

Lin Mu felt that Ruan Jinghong's words made some sense, so he probed further, "You just said that A'Jin had a crush on me before?"

"Well, based on my observation, Teacher Wen had never had such long conversations with any other gentleman before."

I'm sorry, Teacher Wen.

While Ruan Jinghong made up stories to appease Lin Mu, she slowly moved towards the door.

The group of burly men kept casting uncomfortable glances at her.

But without instructions from Lin Mu, they didn't dare to act on their own.

Such poor manipulation tactics would be hard for any normal person to fall for, but Lin Mu, against all odds, believed some of it. Perhaps deep down in his heart, he had always been susceptible to this kind of brainwashing.

Ruan Jinghong finally reached the door, with a distance of nearly two meters from the nearest burly man. 

Taking advantage of Lin Mu's momentary confusion, she swiftly dashed out of the room, slammed the door shut behind her, and sprinted towards the staircase.

A loud "bang" interrupted Lin Mu's wonderful fantasies of lust. Realizing that he had been deceived, he was instantly furious.

"What are you all standing there for? Chase!"

Human potential truly knows no bounds. Ruan Jinghong had never imagined that she, who could barely pass the 800-meter run in high school, would now move like a gust of wind, leaving behind only a faint silhouette.

However, despite her newfound speed, the gap between her and the pursuers gradually closed due to the significant difference in physical capabilities.

By now, they should be on the seventh floor. Ruan Jinghong, who had been caught once before, abandoned the idea of escaping the building. She hurriedly entered the nearest vacant room she could find and immediately locked the door.

Soon, violent impacts reverberated from outside the door. The building was old, and even the doors were made of wood.

Ruan Jinghong knew that this door wouldn't hold for long. She gathered every table and box she could find in the room and placed them against the door as a makeshift barricade.

Luckily, she stumbled upon a storage room, filled with several large boxes of materials, some made of iron and others made of plastic.

She hurriedly moved the boxes, not paying attention, and accidentally cut her skin on the protruding steel edges.

Fresh red scars marked her snow-white skin, it was quite a chilling sight.

But she couldn't afford to tend to her wounds. Her frail back pressed against the steel boxes vigorously shaking in front of the door, using every ounce of her strength.

At this moment, she was completely alone. In this unfamiliar and desolate wilderness, she had no means of communication to reach out to others. Behind her was a pack of ravenous wolves, tigers and leopards, and there seemed to be no way to escape.

Ruan Jinghong was acutely aware of the dire consequences if she were to be captured by those individuals. However, her current course of action was to do everything in her power to delay them, valuing every minute she could buy.

She glanced towards the slightly ajar window, contemplating her options.

If this door becomes impossible to hold, then I'll jump out from here.

But if I leave, Teacher Wen will be sad, won't she?

Teacher Wen will come soon.
