Chapter 329: What If Criminals Kidnap You For Ransom?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The first sentence was indeed something Mufeng said himself, although he had slapped himself in the face later on for it.

But for the last sentence, Mufeng had to say that he was wronged.

Mufeng said helplessly, “Why are you still improvising? The first part was true, but I didn’t say the second part.”

“Oh, really? Don’t tell me that wasn’t what you were thinking?” Jiang Xun raised her head and looked at him. “Although you didn’t say it, that’s how I heard it.”

[d.a.m.n, the two of them are acting as if it was real!]

[You’re so good at writing the script!]

[They look like a couple!]

[Overbearing CEO frequently brooding over small and delicate wife’s past.]

[Look at Sister Yao’s expression. She’s dumbfounded.]

“And how did you reply to him?” Qiyao followed up.

“Umm,” Jiang Xun pretended to think for a moment and said, “I told him that I’m not interested in old men either.”

Mufeng looked at Jiang Xun helplessly, and the smile on his lips was extremely pampering.

Unfortunately, the camera was on Qiyao, so the fans could not see it.

However, Qiyao could see Mufeng’s expression.

She was completely shocked.

Her intuition told her that this might be the real story of Mufeng and Jiang Xun and not the script.

So this was how things started between them?

It was so sweet!

Qiyao instantly thought of a 100000-word short essay about chasing his wife after initially ignoring her.

“Ahem!” Qiyao didn’t dare to say much after discovering such a big secret. She quickly forced herself to focus on the show and continue with the program flow to digest the big discovery.

She took a photo of the diary’s contents. “Since we’ve found the clues here, let’s go out.”

After the three of them left, the other guests from the other rooms also came out.

Everyone exchanged clues. Youlan’s gaze shifted between Jiang Xun and Mufeng strangely.

Nanjing saw it and said, “Little Su, did you find any clues?”

“The room we searched just happened to be Brother Yao’s room. So he’s the gardener of this manor,” Youlan said. “We found a phone that Brother Yao had gotten rid of but hadn’t sold in his room. There were messages that Brother Yao sent to Jiang Xun. From the content of the messages, Brother Yao has always liked Jiang Xun. He often sent Jiang Xun messages to ask about her well-being, but Jiang Xun always treated him coldly.”

[The production team is causing trouble! A love triangle!]

[Doesn’t Huo Mengyao like Jiang Xun in real life too?]

[Who knows if it’s true? Maybe Huo Mengyao wants to create a ship with Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun’s status may not be as high as theirs, but in terms of popularity, few people can beat her.]

[The production team sure knows how to play!]

[Great CEO Qin is here. How dare you!]

[I’m impressed by the director’s courage.]

“So, is there a clue in the information you found that can help us leave?” Jiang Xun asked coldly.

“I don’t know. There are so many clues. We have to take a look and think about it before we know how to crack it.” Youlan took out the photos that she had taken. They were all text messages from Mengyao’s character to Jiang Xun’s character.

She could not find any useful clues from it.

The door at the end of the corridor still needed a pa.s.sword to open.

The lights in the corridor were very bright. Jiang Xun covered the pa.s.sword lock with her left hand, but one hand was not enough to completely block the light.

When Mufeng saw this, he squatted down beside Jiang Xun and raised his right hand to put it together with her left hand. His palm, which was much wider than hers, was pressed against her white and delicate palm. Mufeng’s slightly rough fingertips were pressed against Jiang Xun’s soft and white fingertips.

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! What kind of scene is this? It’s overkill!]

[Are the two of them holding hands? After all, their hands are touching!]

[Do CEO Qin and Jiang Xun have such a tacit understanding? He can tell what she wants to do just by looking at the movement of one of her hands.]

[It’s hard not to overthink the interaction between the two.]

Jiang Xun held her phone in her right hand and clicked on an app.

The screen of her mobile phone could not be seen from the livestream, and she could only be seen tapping on the screen a few times.

The phone’s rear LED shone with blue light and reflected on the pa.s.sword lock.

The fingerprints on the pa.s.sword lock immediately became clear and visible.

The faint blue light illuminated the fingerprints on six of the number keys on the pa.s.sword lock.

“Waa!” Jiexin said in surprise, “I didn’t know this was possible! How did you manage to get that blue light? It looks like the light used to check money.”

“Just install this app.” Jiang Xun showed her phone screen to Jiexin.

“But we don’t usually use this kind of light, right?” Nanjing asked in confusion. “Why would you install this app for no reason?”

Jiang Xun explained seriously, “This is a variety show, and there are difficult challenges deliberately set by the production team. However, it is hard to guarantee that such an accident would not happen in real life. You have been locked in a confined s.p.a.ce and need to leave. Moreover, everyone here is a celebrity, so there’s no privacy for you to speak of. It is common for one’s home address to be found by paparazzi. Even their mobile phone number and ident.i.ty card number could be easily leaked. What if the criminals get their hands on this information and kidnap you for ransom?”

“It’s not the same as before. In the past, if you were locked up, the door lock was the most primitive. There was still a chance to pry it open. But now that fingerprint locks are so widely used, the kidnappers also know that they have to keep up with the times and change to a fingerprint lock, so this light will be useful.”

Everyone was speechless.

You’re too crisis-conscious.

Thank you for saying that they were easy to kidnap.

[It’s starting, Jiang Jiang’s crisis response cla.s.s. Quickly take out a small notebook and write it down.]

[Jiang Jiang, you’re always so vigilant in times of peace.]

[I really didn’t expect there to be an app that can emit blue light. Why didn’t Jiang Jiang share such a good thing? What’s the app called? Quickly tell us!]

[Jiang Jiang, what other good things do you have that we don’t know about? Quickly say it all in one breath!]

Junjie’s face darkened and he quickly said to the NPC, “Hurry up and scare them, make them leave! If we let Jiang Xun continue, our livestream will be stopped!”

What kidnapper? What kidnapping of a celebrity?

This topic was too dangerous!

There were no NPCs to scare people in the corridor.

The scary NPCs were in the next level.

Therefore, Junjie could only ask the NPCs left on the film crew’s side to hurry over.

Everyone turned to look at the NPC who had just run out.

The NPC shook his head desperately. “I’m not going. I won’t go even if you kill me! Whoever wants to go, go! I’ve just been seriously traumatized. I suspect that I have Jiang Xun PTSD now.”

In any case, he wasn’t going!

Everyone in the program group was speechless.

You’re really good at making up stories!

You could even invent “Jiang Xun PTSD.”

There was no one else other than this NPC.

Junjie had no choice but to point to another staff member and say, “You, go.”

The staff member was dumbfounded. It was too late to put on makeup now.
