After the inner voice was exposed, the cannon fodder group was scolded by me

"Where's Lu Shiyu?"

Ling Chuchu's expression was a little subtle, and she whispered, "Just now Xia Xia ran out crying, and Brother Lu chased her out."

Lu Zhaoning glanced at the mess on the ground and pressed his throbbing temple.

Is it true that Lu Shiyu's fate cannot be changed?

Does he really want to die?

It’s hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die with kind words. If he wants to die, then let him die.

"No... It's bad, something happened to Sister Xia Xia and Brother Lu..."

Xia Mengjie was surprised when her assistant ran in from outside crying and said breathlessly.

"How could Xia Xia get into trouble? Weren't you following her? Xia Xia got into trouble, and you weren't there to accompany her. Why did you run back?"

When Zhou Yun heard that Xia Mengjie was in trouble, she was extremely anxious.

Xu Yue just felt his head throbbing. The guests for this episode were obviously carefully selected, but why were they more capable of causing trouble than the next?

"Xiao Yu, don't be anxious. Tell me slowly. What happened to Xia Xia?" Liang Yi said gently.

Xiaoyu wiped her face and cried, "Sister Xia Xia said she wanted to be alone to calm down, and I didn't dare to leave her alone. But then a group of people rushed out, saying something I couldn't understand, and then Brother Lu showed up..."

"and then?"

Lu Zhaoning felt terrible. Is Lu Shiyu stupid?

"Later...later they had a conflict, and the gang forcibly took Brother Lu and Sister Xia Xia away, and also...threatened me not to call the police, otherwise they would be rude to them."

Lu Zhaoning asked coldly: "What else did the other party say?"

"They want...they want us to pay them money, otherwise they won't let us go."

Xiaoyu's face turned pale with fright when he thought of those vicious people.

"Director, let's call the police. This is clearly extortion."

"Don't call the police!" Zhou Yun cried and begged, "Director, if this gets out, it will definitely affect Xia Xia."

"Ms. Zhou, what do you think we should do now?"

The director also thought it would be a good idea to call the police. After all, they were unfamiliar with the area, and calling the police immediately could reduce unnecessary accidents and troubles.

Lu Zhaoning pressed his temples, trying to suppress the irritation in his heart.

Zhou Yun hesitated: "Anyway, we can't call the police, otherwise how will Xia Xia live in the future."

Xu Yue really wanted to ask, what does this have to do with one's future life?

The Qing Dynasty died long ago, and the era when female artists would be thrown into a pig cage if they were kidnapped is long gone.

"Zhao Ning, what do you mean?"

The mother of the person involved was determined not to call the police, so Xu Yue could only place his hopes on the family of another person involved.

If something really goes wrong, the program team only has to bear half of the risk.

Lu Zhaoning looked at Zhou Yun with a half-smile and asked, "Ms. Zhou, are you sure you don't want to call the police?"

Zhou Yun was a little flustered by being looked at, but she still insisted: "We can't call the police. It will have a bad impact on Xia Xia."

Lu Zhaoning nodded and said to the director calmly, "Director Xu, since Ms. Zhou is unwilling to call the police, let's negotiate with her first to see if there is any solution."

Xu Yue was almost in despair.

I'm still hoping that Lu Zhaoning will insist on calling the police.

When something happens to an artist on the show, the director is the first to be held responsible, not to mention the Luming Group behind Lu Shiyu.

Xu Yue couldn't help pulling his hair in annoyance. He no longer had any hope for this show.

"Xiao Yu, take me to find Lu Shiyu."

Xiaoyu swallowed and said nervously, "But... they are scary..."

Lu Zhaoning was unmoved, and even took it for granted: "These are all one-sided statements. If you are unwilling to lead the way, I suspect that you are the mastermind behind the kidnapping."

"No...it's me. I didn't do that, and I wouldn't dare..."

Xiaoyu was anxious. She thought that even if she had eight hundred courages, she would never do such a thing.

"Since it's not you, then lead the way."

Xiaoyu had no choice but to take Lu Zhaoning's staff to the place where Lu Shiyu and Xia Mengjie were kidnapped.

Ling Yaowen glanced at Zhou Yun's face vaguely beforehand.

Just now when Lu Zhaoning said that Xiaoyu was the mastermind behind the incident, Xia Mengjie's mother was obviously a little nervous.

These days, it's very rare to directly kidnap a celebrity for ransom. The law is no joke.

Xia Mengjie's mother's performance today is completely different from the time she last appeared. If most people knew that their daughter was kidnapped, even if they did not dare to call the police due to threats from the kidnappers, they would definitely not be so calm.

Either Xia Mengjie's mother knew about the kidnapping, or...

But she doesn't care about her daughter.

The former was premeditated.

The latter cares too much and doesn't want his daughter to have even the slightest stain?

Which one is Zhou Yun?

"Mother Xia, aren't you going with us?" Ling Chuchu asked curiously.

Zhou Yun seemed tired of crying, her voice was hoarse: "I can't help at all if I go, so I'd better stay here and wait for Xia Xia to come back."

"Are you so sure that Xia Xia will be back soon?"

"I……"

Zhou Yun choked up and started crying uncomfortably.

Ling Chuchu looked at Zhou Yun who was crying again, and felt sad for Xia Mengjie.

She couldn't stand the crying people, so she pulled Ling Yaowen outside.

… …

"Do you know that kidnapping is illegal? Let us go!"

The leading man pinched Xia Mengjie's chin and sneered: "I have lost my son, and you are still afraid of breaking the law? You actors are usually held high by your so-called fans. Do you really think you are some great people?"

Lu Shiyu sensed something wrong in the other party's words. How could an ordinary villager have the courage to kidnap someone?

Especially since this guy also said that his son was dead and the only thing he participated in was posting a Weibo post.

Is it...

"Your son killed someone else's son and should be punished by law."

These words angered the man, and he hit Lu Shiyu's back hard with the wooden stick in his hand.

"You know nothing! It was an accident. Accident, you know?"

Lu Shiyu felt a burning pain on his back, and he knew he was right.

His tone became increasingly sharp: "What is an accident? A true accident is when something happens and you immediately try to save it, rather than just killing someone and burying them."

"You bitch, say it again when I tell you to!"

The man's son is still being rescued. What he hates most now is anyone saying anything bad about his son, not even a word.

Lu Shiyu was hit several times. These people were also cautious and specifically hit the parts that were not easily injured but could cause pain.

"Stop fighting, please stop fighting, I'll give you whatever money you want..."

Xia Mengjie watched Lu Shiyu being beaten and cried bitterly.

The man looked at the people around him and said coldly, "Not much, just 100 million will do."

"One hundred million?"

Even Lu Shiyu was shocked by this number.

Xia Mengjie was even more embarrassed, "Where can we get so much money? You are clearly asking for too much!"

"You celebrities make tens of millions just by filming a movie. Who are you trying to fool by saying you can't take it out?"

"I'm telling you, it's 100 million per person, not 100 million in total. Do you understand?"

"If you can't get it out, don't even think about leaving!"

"Female stars are beautiful. If they took a few nude photos of you, it would be hard for you to survive in the future, right?"

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened.

Everyone looked over and saw a pretty but very young girl walk in.

"Kidnapping, intimidation, extortion, how many years will you be sentenced to in total?"

Xu Yue replied calmly: "Threat or intimidate with a weapon, kidnap or extort money, shall be sentenced to more than ten years in prison or life imprisonment. For less serious cases, the sentence shall be more than five years and a fine."

Everyone in the room changed their expressions.
