Chapter 1320 What tricks are you trying to play?
"What does she want to do? Is Qin Yuanqing trying to play some tricks again?" Jiang Mubai gritted his teeth, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Cheng Yunchuan patted her back gently and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you, and I will make Ren Xueer and Qin Yuanqing pay the price!"
The gentleness in his eyes was instantly replaced by sinisterness, and he exuded a dangerous aura.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She took the cup of water handed to her by Cheng Yunchuan, took a big sip, and her thoughts gradually became clear.
Although Ren Xueer's voice was realistic, her tone seemed less fierce and more like a deliberate performance.
"Wait, could it be that this call was not made by Ren Xueer?" Jiang Mubai suddenly thought of something.
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Although Ren Xueer hates me, she is now dependent on Qin Yuanqing. Without his order, she dare not act rashly. Moreover, given her personality, if she really wanted to retaliate against me, she would not be so roundabout. I think it is more like someone is deliberately trying to sow discord between us." Jiang Mubai analyzed.
Cheng Yunchuan also felt that Jiang Mubai's analysis made sense. He immediately contacted his technical team to track the incoming call number.
Soon, the results came out. The owner of the number was an anonymous user named "Shadow" whose IP address kept changing and was difficult to track.
"It seems that we have met a tough opponent." Cheng Yunchuan's face became solemn.
Jiang Mubai sneered: "I hate those villains hiding in the dark. Since he dares to provoke me, I will pull him out!"
In the next few days, Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan strengthened security measures while secretly investigating Shadow's identity. At the same time, Shadow seemed to have disappeared and no longer engaged in any provocative behavior.
Just when they thought things had calmed down, Jiang Mubai received an anonymous email. The email contained a photo of a young girl tied to a chair and unconscious.
Although the girl's face was blurry, Jiang Mubai recognized her at a glance: his assistant, Xiaoya.
There was only one line of text at the bottom of the email: "If you want her to live, come to the abandoned factory alone."
Jiang Mubai's heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to her head. She immediately forwarded the email to Cheng Yunchuan and called him: "Yunchuan, Xiaoya has been kidnapped!"
Cheng Yunchuan's voice also became serious: "Don't panic, I'll be there soon, don't act rashly!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai paced back and forth anxiously. She knew that this must be Shadow's conspiracy. He kidnapped Xiaoya just to force her to submit.
"Damn it!" Jiang Mubai slammed the table hard, her heart filled with anger and self-blame. She didn't expect that Shadow would actually attack Xiaoya.
Cheng Yunchuan arrived quickly. He hugged Jiang Mubai and comforted him, "Don't worry, we will rescue Xiaoya."
"No, I have to go! Xiaoya was dragged into this because of me, and I can't let her get hurt because of me." Jiang Mubai said firmly.
Cheng Yunchuan knew Jiang Mubai's character. Once she made a decision, no one could change it. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. But you have to promise me that you will follow my instructions."
Jiang Mubai nodded, with a determined light in his eyes.
The two drove to the abandoned factory. Along the way, Jiang Mubai's heart was hanging. She kept praying that Xiaoya was safe.
After arriving at the abandoned factory, Jiang Mubai followed the instructions in the email and walked in alone. The factory was dark and the air was filled with a pungent smell of mold.
"Xiao Ya!" Jiang Mubai shouted loudly.
"Stop shouting, I'm here." A cold voice came from the darkness.
Jiang Mubai looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in black standing in the shadows with a gun in his hand, pointing at Xiaoya who was tied to a chair.
"Who are you? Why did you kidnap Xiaoya?" Jiang Mubai asked sternly.
The man in black sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you must do as I ask."
"What request?" Jiang Mubai asked, suppressing the fear in his heart.
"It's very simple. I want you to publicly admit that you plagiarized Ren Xueer's song." said the man in black.
Jiang Mubai was stunned for a moment. She had not expected that Shadow's purpose was to ruin her reputation.
When Jiang Mubai heard the request from the man in black, he was not panicked. Instead, he burst out laughing, as if he had heard a funny joke: "Plagiarism? Brother, you got the wrong person, right? Since my debut, which of the songs I sang was written by myself? If you want me to admit plagiarism, you might as well let me admit that I am a man."
The man in black obviously didn't expect Jiang Mubai's reaction. He was stunned for a moment, and his tone became even colder: "Stop talking nonsense! I give you two choices, either admit to plagiarism, or watch your assistant die!"
Jiang Mubai shrugged, looking innocent: "But I really haven't composed any songs. What do you want me to admit? How about changing the conditions? For example... admit that I used hidden rules to get to the top? This is more explosive."
Xiaoya was struggling in the chair, making a whimpering sound, obviously having heard their conversation. Jiang Mubai glanced at her, a hint of barely perceptible worry flashing in his eyes.
The man in black roared, "You're kidding me! I just want you to admit that you plagiarized Ren Xue'er's song! Immediately! Right now!"
Jiang Mubai sighed, seeming helpless: "Brother, this is unreasonable. I really haven't written any songs. What do you want me to admit? Aren't you forcing me?"
“I’ll say it one last time! Admit that you plagiarized! Otherwise…” The man in black raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Xiaoya’s head.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She knew that now was not the time to be stubborn, Xiaoya's life was more important than anything else.
"Okay, I admit it. I admit that I plagiarized Ren Xueer's song." Jiang Mubai's voice was low and hoarse.
Hearing Jiang Mubai's words, the man in black seemed very satisfied. He put down his gun and said with a cold smile: "Wouldn't it be fine if you had said this earlier? Now, post on Weibo and admit it immediately!"
Jiang Mubai took out his phone and edited a Weibo post: "I, Jiang Mubai, hereby admit that my song "Starlight" plagiarized Ren Xueer's "Moonlight". I am deeply sorry for the negative impact caused by this incident. I will bear all consequences and quit the entertainment industry."
After clicking send, Jiang Mubai threw the phone to the ground and looked at the man in black coldly: "Now, can you let him go?"
The man in black took a look at the Weibo on his phone, and after confirming that it was correct, he winked at another man in black, who walked forward and untied the rope that tied Xiaoya.
As soon as Xiaoya was free, she threw herself into Jiang Mubai's arms, crying: "Sister Mubai, are you okay? You scared me to death!"
