Chapter 1338 Return to the Crew
After coming out of the abandoned factory, Cheng Yunchuan has been uneasy. In the chaos, he protected Jiang Mubai and escaped. He watched her disappear into the night before he drove back to the Qin family.
He repeatedly recalled the scene at that time: in the darkness, the sounds of gunfire and shouting mixed together, he hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, feeling her pounding heartbeat.
At that moment, he truly felt the threat of death, and he also realized more deeply that his feelings for Jiang Mubai were much deeper than he had imagined.
"Where did she go?"
Cheng Yunchuan scratched his hair irritably, sat down on the sofa, picked up his phone and called Jiang Mubai again. The cold, mechanical female voice was still heard: "Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment."
"Impossible! There's no way she wouldn't answer the phone!" Cheng Yunchuan stood up suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through his mind, did something happen to her?
He tried to calm himself down and began to recall the details of Jiang Mubai's departure. She was wearing a simple black tights, which was convenient for movement, and she did not carry any weapons, except...
Cheng Yunchuan's pupils shrank suddenly. He remembered that Jiang Mubai had stuffed a small box into his hand before he left, saying it was something important. At that time, the situation was urgent, so he didn't check it carefully and just put it in his pocket.
He quickly took out the box, opened it and saw a chip lying quietly inside. This chip was exactly the target of tonight's operation and it was also what those men in black were determined to snatch at all costs.
"Damn it! She actually gave me such an important thing!" Cheng Yunchuan's heart sank. He knew that Jiang Mubai must have encountered some trouble, so she gave the chip to him for safekeeping.
He immediately realized that Jiang Mubai was in danger. Those men in black were extremely vicious, and if they found out that the chip was not on Jiang Mubai, they would definitely find her by any means necessary.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yunchuan could no longer sit still. He grabbed his coat, walked out of the villa quickly, and ordered the bodyguards guarding the door: "Prepare the car! Go check Bai Ye's whereabouts immediately!"
It was a dark night and the street lights stretched Cheng Yunchuan's figure out of place. He sat in the car, anxiously waiting for news. His heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost suffocating him.
"Mr. Cheng, we found out! Miss Bai Ye was last seen at the pier in the west of the city." The bodyguard's voice broke the silence in the car.
"The dock?" Cheng Yunchuan frowned, and the chaotic scene of the dock emerged in his mind. What was Jiang Mubai doing there?
"Go to the dock immediately!" Cheng Yunchuan gave the order decisively, and the car sped away like an arrow.
At the same time, in a dilapidated warehouse at the west dock of the city.
Jiang Mubai was tied to a chair with her hands tied behind her back. There were several bloody marks on her face and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that she had been severely tortured.
In front of her stood a burly man, who was the leader of the men in black who had fought with her in the abandoned factory before.
"Where's the chip?" The man looked down at Jiang Mubai with a cold tone without a trace of emotion.
Jiang Mubai clenched his teeth and said nothing.
"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. Let me ask you again, where is the chip?" The man sneered, pulled out a dagger from his waist and waved it in front of Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai stared at him coldly, his eyes full of disdain: "Don't even think about getting anything from me!"
A trace of anger flashed in the man's eyes, and he suddenly raised the dagger and stabbed at Jiang Mubai.
At the critical moment, the warehouse door was kicked open and Cheng Yunchuan rushed in with several bodyguards.
"stop!"
Seeing Cheng Yunchuan, Jiang Mubai's tense nerves finally relaxed. She lowered her head weakly and fainted.
Cheng Yunchuan was heartbroken when he saw this. He rushed forward, hugged Jiang Mubai, and shouted angrily: "You bastards! I won't let you go!"
The fishy and bloody smells mixed together in the warehouse stimulated Jiang Mubai's nerves. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Cheng Yunchuan's anxious face.
He was holding her tightly, with a faint scent of cologne emanating from him, which was out of place in this chaotic scene.
"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere, wife!" Cheng Yunchuan's voice trembled a little as he carefully checked the wounds on Jiang Mubai's body.
Jiang Mubai shook his head gently and smiled weakly: "I'm fine, just a little weak."
Cheng Yunchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all. He gently picked up Jiang Mubai and walked towards the vehicle waiting outside the warehouse.
"Uncle Yin." Jiang Mubai suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I have already informed him, and he will handle the follow-up matters. You need to rest now." Cheng Yunchuan interrupted her.
Jiang Mubai leaned in Cheng Yunchuan's arms, feeling the warmth coming from him, but her heart was cold. She did not go to see Uncle Yin as originally planned, but chose to return to the crew.
She knew that Cheng Yunchuan would definitely send someone to protect her, but she didn't want to be a burden to him. More importantly, she needed time to sort out her thoughts, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and protect herself and those around her.
The crew was the safest place for her at the moment. There were many people and eyes there, so it was easier to hide herself.
After returning to the crew, Jiang Mubai immediately threw herself into filming. She forced herself to cheer up and hide all her anxiety and fear in her heart.
The director watched Jiang Mubai's performance in the camera and couldn't help but sigh: "Bai Ye, your acting skills are getting better and better! You acted very well in this scene!"
Jiang Mubai smiled slightly and said nothing. She knew that this was not just an acting skill, but also an expression of her true emotions.
In the next few days, Jiang Mubai appeared calm on the surface, but secretly began her own investigation. She used her hacking skills to break into the police database and retrieve the surveillance video of the dock warehouse.
The video showed that the men in black were well-trained and ruthless, and were obviously professional killers. Their target was the chip in her hand.
Jiang Mubai knew that there was an important secret hidden in this chip, and it was this secret that caused her to fall into this dangerous vortex.
She must find out the mastermind as soon as possible to completely get rid of this crisis.
At the same time, Cheng Yunchuan was also secretly investigating the matter. He knew that Jiang Mubai must have concealed something, but he did not ask any further questions.
He believed that Jiang Mubai had her own reasons, and he only needed to silently guard her and give her help and support when she needed it.
One night, Jiang Mubai was studying chips in his room when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Who?" Jiang Mubai asked vigilantly.
"It's me." Cheng Yunchuan's voice came from outside the door.
Jiang Mubai opened the door and saw Cheng Yunchuan holding an exquisite gift box in his hand.
