Chapter 274 - 274 201 Departing Significantly from the Norm
?Chapter 274: Chapter 201: Departing Significantly from the Norm Chapter 274: Chapter 201: Departing Significantly from the Norm From the film set to the hotel, there was a scene that hadn’t been used for a while, and ever since Wenyan and her crew started filming, it had always been idle.
And because the film set wasn’t far from the hotel, Wenyan and her colleagues would always walk there after shooting their scenes.
Wenyan used to go back in a group with the other actors, but today she was the only one who had to shoot this late, and the staff was still tidying up the set, so aside from her assistant He Xing, there was no one else around.
The cold wind howled through the night, sounding eerily frightening.
He Xing hugged Wenyan tightly and said, “I knew we should have waited for the others; why does this road seem especially dark today?”
“Don’t talk about it, don’t talk about it,” Wenyan, who wasn’t very brave, said, “I was fine until you mentioned it, but now that you have, I feel a chill down my spine.”
“Uh-uh, my fault. I’ll take out my phone to light the way,” He Xing responded.
As soon as she finished speaking, He Xing reached into her pocket only to find her phone wasn’t there!
“Oh no, I think I accidentally dropped my phone while I was pulling out a tissue. Uh-uh-uh, now I have to go back for it. I can’t see a thing on this pitch-black ground!”
“Are you a little fool? I’ll just call you, and once it rings and lights up, if it’s dropped on the ground, you’ll be able to see it immediately,” Wenyan said.
“Right! Why didn’t I think of that? It’s over, my brain must be frozen!” He Xing tapped her head twice as she spoke.
Wenyan laughed at her, “Stop hitting yourself; if you keep that up, you might actually become foolish.”
In the midst of their conversation, Wenyan had already dialed He Xing’s phone number.
The very next second, a small patch of light appeared on the ground not far away, undoubtedly cast by He Xing’s phone.
Without a second thought, He Xing sprinted toward her phone.
Wenyan, thinking the distance wasn’t far, couldn’t be bothered to go back with He Xing and decided to stand still and wait.
As soon as He Xing picked up the phone, she hung up the call and checked her screen.
But when she turned on the flashlight and was about to head back to Wenyan, she was horrified to discover that Wenyan was no longer where she had been standing!
He Xing’s heart skipped a beat.
She started calling out, but out of fear, she didn’t dare raise her voice too loudly.
“Yanyan? Yanyan, where are you? Are you hiding on purpose? Don’t scare me; I’m really frightened! Come out! Where could you be hiding when it’s this dark?”
However, no matter how much He Xing called, she received no response.
She was parched and anxious and after several seconds, it occurred to her to call Wenyan.
To her dismay, Wenyan’s phone started ringing in a nearby alley.
The sound sent chills down He Xing’s spine.
Logically, if Wenyan was joking around, she wouldn’t have left her phone on ringtone mode. Even if she had forgotten to turn on silent or vibrate, she would have immediately hung up or simply jumped out of the alley upon hearing it ring!
Yet the ringing continued!
Overcoming her fear with concern for Wenyan, He Xing mustered the courage to find Wenyan’s phone.
When she reached the mouth of the alley, all she saw was Wenyan’s phone and hat lying on the ground.
The sight of the hat on the ground told He Xing that something terrible must have happened to Wenyan!
Just as she was about to leave to seek help from the crew, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind her, and the next second, her mouth and nose were smothered by a strongly irritating wet cloth.
…
Wenyan opened her eyes, and it took her a dozen seconds to realize she had been kidnapped!
At that moment, there was only one thought in her mind, that it was utterly preposterous, a complete travesty!
Who gets kidnapped? She felt like she was becoming the protagonist of this book, where all the bad and troublesome affairs were happening to her!
This was not how things were supposed to go, hey! (????)
