A young man exchanged a look with the others, and then they surrounded Joyno.
Joyno was caught off guard. Before she could react, Luo Yize and his cousin's family stood up.
"What do you want?"
Joyno started to struggle. "Aze! Help me!"
Several young men tied Joyno up tightly. She shouted loudly, but soon a thick white cloth was stuffed into her mouth.
Luo Yize and his group began to fight with the other young men. However, there were too many of them. They surrounded Luo Yize's group and didn't allow them to get close.
The cousin took out her phone and was about to call the police. As soon as she dialed the number, a young man snatched the phone from her and smashed it on the ground.
Then, he stepped hard on the broken screen of the phone. He took out a folding knife and put it on the cousin's neck, threatening, "If you dare to move, I'll kill you!"
At this time, the boat was sailing in an unknown direction.
When Joyno woke up, she found herself sitting in an old warehouse. Besides herself, there were Luo Yize and his cousin's family.
She moved her body, trying to stand up. When she lowered her head, she found that her hands were tied behind her back and she couldn't get up at all. She moved with difficulty, trying to kick the door open.
But the door was locked from the outside.
A tall shadow slowly approached Joyno.
The man's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. He held Joyno's chin and clicked his tongue. "Sister Nuo, it's been a long time!"
The voice sounded very familiar. It was Ah Hai!
He took out the cloth from Joyno's mouth and said, "Your eyesight is really terrible! When you signed up for the tour group, how didn't you recognize that the tour guide was me? Hehe, it's no wonder. As long as I dress up a little, no one will recognize me."
"Shameless!" Joyno shouted.
No wonder their itinerary was exposed. She never thought that Ah Hai had sneaked into the tour group.
Joyno underestimated Ah Hai. When he plotted against her and made her lose her job, it was also unexpected. Every move Ah Hai made was so well - planned that Joyno couldn't see through his tricks.
Now that the relationship between Luo Yize and He Jing had been exposed, Ah Hai had no choice but to take advantage of the situation. Since the open approach didn't work, he resorted to underhanded means.
"Yes, all I've arranged is just to make your beloved idol and your boyfriend, Luo Yize, leave you forever. Moreover, He Jing is my childhood friend. Why can't I help her fulfill her wish? Why do you deserve to have him? Back then, Luo Yize actively pursued He Jing. He confessed his love to her and even did things you can't imagine! I have all the evidence. You're just a small and ordinary fan of his. How could you know so many inside stories?"
As he spoke, Joyno felt her body getting hotter and weaker.
"Joyno, do you know why I could easily get a full - time job? It's because the information I have is much more exciting and interesting than yours. No wonder you couldn't produce good works at the beginning. Have you ever thought about why?"
Ah Hai raised his voice. "You always say, 'No one can achieve success overnight.' But since ancient times, there have been people who have achieved success overnight. For example, the Monkey King can somersault 108,000 li in one jump, and I, Ah Hai, have also achieved success. I achieved it when I kicked you out. Look at me now and look at you. In the end, besides writing a few TV dramas, what have you really achieved?"
Looking at Ah Hai's fierce eyes and listening to his hurtful words, Joyno showed no sign of fear.
Meanwhile, in Luo Yize's company, General Manager Zhao looked extremely anxious. He patted his subordinate on the shoulder, his eyes filled with burning anger. "Why haven't you been able to contact Yino yet?"
The subordinate looked hopeless. It seemed that he had tried countless ways but still couldn't get in touch. "General Manager Zhao, I've called. Not only is Screenwriter Qiao's phone off, but Aze's phone is also off."
General Manager Zhao suddenly stopped. Could something have happened?
People in the entertainment industry always pay attention to the news. Not long ago, when Joyno and Luo Yize's travel itinerary was exposed, General Manager Zhao was already very worried.
Suddenly, he slapped the table hard, which made his subordinate tremble with fear.
"Even if you have to search the ends of the earth, find out their whereabouts. Go now!"
The subordinate nodded repeatedly and immediately left the office.
General Manager Zhao was left alone, sitting in his office chair, his deep eyes looking out of the window.
There was a box of Hongtashan cigarettes on the desk. There were only a few cigarettes left in it. No one knew how many cigarettes he had smoked.
General Manager Zhao's phone rang.
When he picked up the phone, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope on his face. If he could really find out the whereabouts of the two, that would be great.
However, his face fell again.
The person on the other end of the phone said in a terrifying tone, "You're Zhao Qingting from Lehua Film and Television, right? Now your artist, Luo Yize, is in my hands."
"Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that your Aze ruined a woman's innocence, betrayed her, got together with this Joyno, and even killed their child with his own hands. If you want to save them, you have to pay five million as ransom."
General Manager Zhao secretly recorded the conversation.
"If you dare to call the police, be careful of their lives!"
General Manager Zhao was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
As soon as the other person hung up the phone, General Manager Zhao didn't hesitate and immediately informed his subordinate.
The top priority was to rescue Luo Yize and Joyno.
Time passed by second by second. In the old warehouse, Joyno and Luo Yize were tightly pressed against each other. The darkness prevented them from seeing each other's faces, and they didn't even know what time it was.
Joyno began to tremble. She was usually not afraid of the dark, but now she was extremely scared.
"Yino, are you scared?" Luo Yize asked her in a low voice.
"A little bit." Joyno nodded continuously and replied.
"I don't know how many days we've been struggling in the dark. Maybe it's God's test for us?"
