Chapter 33: Kick out the white moonlight, the Best Actor is mine! -33
"idiot!"
Jin Ge left Mo Ziting behind and walked ahead alone. Mo Ziting adjusted her breathing, lowered her head, ignored the strange looks around her, and followed him.
As Mu Wanwan exited the mall, the Gu family's driver was already waiting at the entrance. She quickly got into the car and asked the driver to drive away.
Mu Wanwan didn't tell her family about her encounter with Mo Ziting that day. However, the young couple's life remained sweet, and Gu Zhishen would occasionally share glimpses of their loving daily life on Weibo, making many people swoon.
As time went on, Mu Wanwan's belly grew bigger and bigger, making it increasingly inconvenient for her to go out. However, she still had many baby supplies to buy, and Mu Wanwan herself wanted to go out for a walk.
That day, Mu Wanwan and Gu Zhishen discussed going out together. However, Gu Zhishen couldn't accompany her due to work, but his mother offered to go with Mu Wanwan. So, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, accompanied by several bodyguards, entered the mall in a grand procession.
At first, Gu's mother felt sorry for Mu Wanwan and wanted to find a wheelchair to push her around, but Mu Wanwan firmly refused, saying that although she was pregnant, she was not disabled and could walk on her own.
During her second trimester, Mu Wanwan suddenly felt the urge to urinate, so she told Gu's mother and went to the restroom. Gu's mother and the bodyguards waited at the entrance of the baby store.
Time ticked by, and ten minutes passed quickly, but Mu Wanwan was still nowhere to be seen! Gu's mother began to feel anxious and uneasy. She kept looking towards the bathroom, her heart filled with worry.
After a while, when Mu Wanwan still hadn't come out, Gu's mother could no longer contain her anxiety. She hurriedly led her bodyguards to the restroom to look for her.
"Wanwan?"
She called out Mu Wanwan's name as she walked, her voice revealing obvious urgency.
When she reached the bathroom door, Gu's mother quickened her pace and rushed in. She anxiously pushed and knocked on each stall door, calling out Mu Wanwan's name loudly... However, from the first stall to the last, she never saw Mu Wanwan.
Gu's mother's heart grew heavier, and an ominous premonition welled up in her mind.
She rushed out of the restroom, her expression panicked, and said to the bodyguards, "Quickly, split up and search!"
At the same time, she quickly took out her phone and dialed Mu Wanwan's number, hoping to get a response.
However, when she heard Mu Wanwan's phone ringing from the trash can by the bathroom door, her face turned deathly pale.
Her panic intensified, so she quickly called Gu Zhishen and then notified her husband. After the call, she immediately asked the mall manager to accompany her to the monitoring room to retrieve the surveillance footage.
The agent's face changed drastically as she looked at her phone screen. Completely disregarding the fact that Gu Zhishen was filming and there were cameras following him, she rushed over. Gu Zhishen frowned; his agent had never been so reckless before. Before he could even utter a word of reprimand, the agent gasped for breath and said, "Brother Gu, something terrible has happened! Grandma Gu just called to say that your sister-in-law is missing!"
"What! Say that again?" Gu Zhishen was shocked. He grabbed his manager and shook him violently, trying to make sure he had heard correctly.
Everyone was fine when I left home this morning, how could someone just suddenly disappear?
"It's true, Grandma Gu just called you and told you to come over right away," the agent explained anxiously.
Gu Zhishen's face instantly turned gloomy. He didn't care about anything else and ran out, leaving the crew behind.
His agent followed behind him, making phone calls to the director to report the situation and avoid affecting the filming schedule.
The bodyguards and reinforcements searched the entire mall thoroughly, but they couldn't find Mu Wanwan. Gu Zhishen rushed to the mall's security room as quickly as possible. Seeing her son, Gu's mother broke down, tears streaming down her face: "Son, it's all my fault. If I had gone to the restroom with Wanwan, she wouldn't have disappeared..."
Gu Zhishen suppressed his anxiety and anger, trying to remain calm, and gently comforted his mother: "Mom, it's not your fault. This was definitely premeditated. Even if you had gone to the restroom with Wanwan, she would still have disappeared. Maybe it wasn't just Wanwan who disappeared, but both of you would have been in trouble."
At that moment, the large screen in the monitoring room was playing footage of Mu Wanwan's abduction—Mu Wanwan was washing her hands at the sink when a masked man suddenly appeared behind her and covered her mouth with a towel. Mu Wanwan struggled fiercely, but quickly lost her strength and collapsed limply to the ground. The man beckoned towards the door, and immediately someone pushed a trolley in, lifted Mu Wanwan into a plastic basket on the bottom shelf, covered her with a white cloth, and then quickly left the scene.
Pointing at the scene in the video, Gu's mother couldn't help but curse, "These beasts! Wanwan is pregnant, how could they put her in that kind of basket?"
Gu Zhishen watched the video, his face frighteningly grim. He was filled with self-blame and anger; if he hadn't failed to protect Wanwan, she wouldn't have suffered such pain. However, he was secretly relieved that the basket was big enough and Wanwan was relatively thin, so the baby shouldn't have been hurt.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhishen clenched his fists, a resolute glint in his eyes. No matter the cost, he would find Wanwan and make those who hurt her pay the price!
Fearing for his wife and children's safety, he called the police and also sent more people to search for them.
A few hours later, a stranger called him, and he quickly answered.
"Actor Gu, are you short-staffed at home?"
Gu Zhishen stood up abruptly, spilling boiling water on the table onto himself, but he felt no pain whatsoever.
"Who are you? What have you done to Wanwan?"
The person on the other end must have used a voice changer; their voice sounded like electronic music, and you couldn't tell their real voice at all.
"Don't worry!"
How could he not be worried? That's his wife.
"Tell me, what do you want in return for my wife's release! If it's money, that's no problem at all."
The person opposite replied, "Money? I don't care about money!"
Not for money? If kidnapping isn't for money, then what is the real reason?
"Tell me what to do! I'll definitely cooperate with you!"
The person on the other side didn't want to deal with him any longer. "Tomorrow night at midnight, you must go to the Futang Riverbank alone, without any weapons."
The call was suddenly disconnected, and he then looked at the case team members accompanying him; they shook their heads.
"The phone number is a virtual number, so it will take a little time to find it."
Gu Zhishen couldn't wait a moment longer. There was still a long time before the agreed time, and no one knew what would happen in between.
There are too many variables involved. What if, what if they kill the hostage?
