“The director is still around. The twins are organizing some props for the afternoon shoot,” Sun Hu reported.
‘Just as I suspected! She’s missing!’ Jing MO thought.
Jing MO glanced at the camera before patting Sun Hut s shoulder and said, “Have someone bring the car around.”
The online audience in the live chat grew even more intrigued.
[Is Xia Xin kidnapped?]
[Oh my God, is this some kind of reality show plot?]
[Does anyone else think this is intentional? And why is Jing MO so worried about Xia Xin?]
[Is there something going on between them?]
[Isn’t Xia Xin supposed to be MO Shu’s girlfriend?]
[Don’t jump to conclusions. Neither of them has said anything.]
[What more is there to say? They’ve already hooked up and gone on dates.]
[Do Xia Xin and Jing MO have that kind of relationship?]
[I doubt it.]
[Maybe Jing MO is just eager…]
The last comment seemed to silence the live chat for a moment, only for it to erupt again a minute later.
[Jing MO, the willing third wheel in the name of love!]
[Jing MO loves in vain!]
Sun Hu, engaged in a discussion with Jing MO, remained oblivious to the online frenzy.
[What are they discussing?]
[Is this whole thing staged by Jing MO?]
[If he can play the third wheel for love, what can’t he do?]
[Someone should call the police!]
The director grinned as he watched the chat room explode with speculation. This was exactly what he needed—a controversial hook to set the show on fire, making him a legend. Whether Xia Xin was genuinely kidnapped or just playing a part was inconsequential. If things went awry, they could always call the police. All he wanted was a captivating focal point for the audience.
The director grabbed his walkie-talkie and whispered, “Get the camera closer. Let’s hear what they’re discussing.”
As the cameraman tried to move in, Sun Hu’s associates blocked the way, further fueling the online audience’s detective instincts. [Did you see the look in the eyes of those guys who blocked the camera?]
[Could they be criminals? Is Jing MO a criminal too?] [Let’s not jump to conclusions.]
[I’ve already called the police. Let’s see how it unfolds.]
[The director is useless; someone should’ve called the police by now.]
[We should boycott the show!]
[Let’s find her first!]
Having finalized their plan, Jing MO hopped into the car, instructing the driver to follow the tire tracks. Meanwhile, in another vehicle.
“Let me out!” Xia Xin demanded.
“Xia Xin, I thought you were clever, but it turns out you’re quite ridiculous,” Xu An sneered.
“I need to go to the bathroom. If you’re worried I’ll run, just accompany me,” Xia Xin retorted.
“What are you plotting?” Xu An asked, suspicion etched on her face.
“What can I possibly plot? I told you I need to go. If you don’t trust me, accompany me. If you don’t let me go, I can’t guarantee I can hold it. Don’t blame me for the foul smell later,” Xia Xin warned.
Xu An hesitated, finally relenting. “Fine, pull over. I’ll go with her.”
“But she’s cunning and manipulative. We can’t be careless,” Xu Ping cautioned.
“I don’t fancy riding with the smell of urine. That’d be disgusting,” Xu An argued.
Xu Ping relented, stopping the car.
“Stay close,” Xu Ping instructed.
Xu An followed Xia Xin into a grove of trees.
“Help me undo my pants,” Xia Xin said.
“You think I’m going to help just because you asked?” Xu An rolled her eyes.
Xu An stiffened. “What do you know?”
“I’m only guessing. From the start, you’ve been trying to get close to Jing Mo.
Kidnapping me seems to serve his interests. Why, I can’t say,” Xia Xin probed.
“What else can you discern?” Xu An asked, curiosity piqued.
“I can also tell that you’re afraid of Jing Mo. If I get hurt, you’ll have a lot to answer for,” Xia Xin said, watching Xu An’s expression change subtly.
Xu An softened, “It seems you’re quite perceptive..”
