Mu Junze sat quietly beside them, watching the lazy morning light sprinkle on Meng Nianchu. The child was being coaxed by her and giggled non - stop, shouting "Mom" all the time. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.
Peace and tranquility—that's probably what it's like at this moment.
While this happy family of three was enjoying this tender moment, Weibo had gone crazy.
The news that Linda and Li An were a couple was immediately pushed to the top of the hot search after the journalist published the article.
The cousin of the renowned diva was dating a popular actress?
Thanks to Bai Ling's influence in the entertainment industry, this news spread like wildfire.
Bai Ling learned about this on Weibo after finishing another advertisement shoot. Without knowing the truth, she immediately called Li An, who had returned to school, and scolded him severely over the phone.
Li An was having a late - night snack with his roommate in the food street. While munching on chicken hearts, he listened to Bai Ling's non - stop scolding on the phone and explained, "It's all to prevent others from misunderstanding my relationship with Sister Nianchu. Otherwise, would I do such a thing?"
There was a two - second silence on the other end of the phone.
Then Bai Ling's angry voice came through, "This Linda is going too far! How dare she blatantly bully my people!"
"Tell Sister Nianchu to be careful of Linda. This woman is not a good person. She might come up with some other despicable tricks next time. I won't go to the filming set for a while, so as not to be gossiped about."
"I'll go get some more chicken hearts." Seeing that the food was running out, Li An's roommate who was sitting across from him got up and walked towards the food stall.
As he stood up, he accidentally saw two tall and menacing men walking in this direction. He thought they were just hooligans in the neighborhood and was afraid of getting into trouble, so he quickly averted his eyes.
Just as he was about to tell the stall - owner what he wanted, Li An suddenly let out a muffled groan. When his roommate turned around, Li An had already been quickly carried into a black car parked not far away as if he had lost consciousness.
Everything happened so fast that by the time his roommate realized what was going on, the black car had already disappeared from his sight.
"Should we call the police?"
"Call the police for what! Then we'll have a whole bunch of questions to answer. Let's just forget it and not meddle in other people's business."
The customers sitting near Li An at that time pretended not to see anything and had no intention of helping at all. When Li An was knocked out, they just kept their heads down and quietly ate their food.
Even after Li An was taken away by those two men, they continued to act indifferently and pretended not to know anything.
After being in a daze for a while, Li An's roommate finally came to his senses. He immediately walked to the table where they had been eating and noticed Li An's phone lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
The phone screen still showed the call with his cousin Bai Ling.
The roommate nervously picked up the phone and put it to his ear, "What's going on? Who was taken away? We should call the police. Say something!"
"Sister Bai Ling, Li An has been taken away!"
"What?!"
Bai Ling, who had just finished the last bit of work and was walking out of the filming set, trembled when she heard the roommate's answer. Her head buzzed.
After listening to the roommate explain the whole thing, a chill ran through Bai Ling's heart. After hanging up the phone with the roommate, she immediately told the driver to drive to Shangting.
"Aren't we going home?" the driver asked in confusion.
Bai Ling was rummaging through her phone to find Meng Nianchu's number, "Go find Nianchu first."
Meng Nianchu knew more people in Linhai than she did. If they wanted to find Li An as soon as possible, they needed Meng Nianchu, who could quickly find help here.
Listening to the beeping sound in her ear, Bai Ling tightened her grip on the phone. Biting the tip of her index finger, she murmured nervously,
Please don't let anything happen!
In a luxurious villa on the other side, Linda was nestled in the arms of a fat man sitting on the sofa. Her small hand gently drew circles on his chest as she coquettishly said, "This really has nothing to do with me. That man is just talking nonsense."
The fat man glared at her coldly, "Is that true?"
"Of course!"
"That Li An just wanted to take advantage of me because I'm beautiful! I clearly said in front of the camera that I had nothing to do with him, but that man was so cunning that he drowned out my words."
Linda pouted and snuggled closer into Jin Hui's arms, "Besides, I already have a wonderful brother like you, Brother Hui. How could I have anything to do with other men? That Li An is not even a fraction as good as you!"
Jin Hui seemed to enjoy her words. He let out a lewd laugh, slapped Linda's perky butt hard, then took a puff of his cigarette. His tone turned cold, "How dare he touch my woman. I think he doesn't want to live anymore!"
"Brother Hui." Linda shed tears at the right moment. Blinking her big, watery eyes, she stared at Jin Hui intently, "If there weren't so many people on the filming set, I don't know what he would have done to me."
Jin Hui's face darkened.
Just then, someone knocked on the door and entered. A man in a black suit said respectfully, "The person has been captured and thrown into the warehouse."
"Really?" Jin Hui's expression became even more vicious. He kissed Linda on the lips, then strode out, "Let me see which fool dares to have ideas about my woman."
The door of the room slammed shut.
The smiling Linda from a second ago immediately wiped the smile off her face. She took out a tissue and wiped her lips hard as if she had touched something disgusting.
"If I didn't need you for now, I wouldn't even want to talk to you, you old man." She threw the tissue into the trash can, leaned back, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and couldn't help showing a look of disgust when she thought of Jin Hui's approach.
Then she thought of Jin Hui's promise to capture Li An for her. Her expression gradually relaxed, and a smug look appeared on her face.
So what if he's so arrogant? He's still been captured and will be tortured!
When Bai Ling sees her cousin being tortured beyond recognition, let's see if she still has the energy to cause trouble for her on the filming set!
As if she could already imagine Bai Ling's reaction, Linda's smile grew wider. She rubbed her hands together, stared at the famous painting on the wall in front of her, and let out a long sigh.
"How should I frame Meng Nianchu for this news..."
Li An, who had just woken up groggily after being suddenly captured and brought to the warehouse, didn't know that he had become a tool for Linda to bully others. He scanned the tall men surrounding him warily.
The warehouse door was pushed open from the outside. Jin Hui strode towards Li An menacingly. He pinched Li An's chin with his left hand adorned with a gold chain and looked at him carefully. Then he frowned and spat directly on Li An's face.
"You look like a pretty boy."
