For several days in a row, Anyuan's news dominated the TOP1 trending searches on Weibo.

On the day of the charity dinner, a reporter from another news media broke the news about An Yuan's next new drama, and directly threw out the non-disclosure agreement signed by the brokerage company and the investor, one of which was written in black and white, "A During the filming process of Fang Zi's new drama, there must be no rumors that are not related to work."

Lu Mengxin swiped his index finger across the screen of the phone, silently watching the whole incident, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Chen Fei sat beside him, flipping through the entertainment newspaper of the day, the headline on the front page was Anyuan's news, and a few big red Song typefaces stood out on the page: "Anyuan has been exposed to a new drama. Media or consumer fans? "

"Brother Meng...were you also in the arena that night?" Fade Chen hid half of his face behind the newspaper, and asked him cautiously, "This matter about Anyuan...what do you think?"

Lu Mengxin thought, the person who broke the news must be very clear about Anyuan's work schedule, and if he could steal the contract inside the brokerage company and take photos to inform the public, this person must be the insider of the brokerage company, trying to consume Anyuan.

No, it should be said that trying to discredit Anyuan is more appropriate.

Lu Mengxin thought hard for a long time, the phone on the table vibrated slightly, he picked up the phone and glanced at it, paused for a moment, then answered the phone.

"Xiao Lu?" An Yuan's voice had a strong nasal tone, he coughed twice, and asked him, "Is it convenient for you to speak now?"

Lu Mengxin bypassed Fade Chen and walked towards the bathroom.

After entering the bathroom, he made sure that there was no one there, so he said, "Listen to my explanation, this news has nothing to do with me, and you know that I was almost inseparable from you that day..."

An Yuan didn't listen to his explanation, he was not thinking about it at this moment, he just said: "I didn't call today to talk to you about this..." He coughed heavily again, "That's the thing , the night before yesterday my manager took me to 'Colorful Continents' to discuss the launch of the new drama... 'Colorful Continents', you know?"

The 'Colorful Continent' he was talking about was a well-known private club in downtown Jiangcheng.The clubhouse is only open to members, and the entry threshold is not low. In addition to the expensive entry fee, it also requires more than two introducers.Of course, the number of members is very small, and it is maintained at less than a hundred people all year round. In addition, the privacy of guests is even more important. In the clubhouse, apart from the people who are interviewed, even the waiters and waiters are rarely able to communicate with you. Meet each other.

Because of this, 'Colorful Wuzhou' is very popular among insiders, but as a paparazzi, Lu Mengxin naturally doesn't know it.

Lu Mengxin nodded yes, An Yuan said again, "In the clubhouse that day, besides me, my manager and a few investors, I also met another person."

He said softly, "Yan Jiashan's manager, Zhong Ming is also here."

Lu Mengxin asked suspiciously, "What do you want to say?"

"Don't you find it strange? Yan Jiashan's brokerage company wanted to compete with me for resources, but only Zhong Ming came forward that day, and Yan Jiashan was not seen." An Yuan asked him: "If I remember correctly, he had a grand meeting with you that night. Hui's bosses always leave together."

Lu Mengxin bit his lip and recalled, that's right... He always had a deep impression of Gao Jinyang's affairs, the two of them left early that day, leaving him and An Yuan alone, and in the end Zhao Zixiang came forward to poach him and leave Sheng Hui, how could he Will you forget?

An Yuan said again: "To tell you the truth, 'Shenghui Media' is also one of the investors in this new drama, but I didn't see Gao Jinyang in person that day. Recently, the headlines have made a lot of noise, so I forgot about it It's..."

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Lu Mengxin's mind, and Dang even said to the person on the other end of the microphone: "I still have something to do, let's do this first." After hanging up the phone, he hurried back to the office without delay, and patted Chen who was sitting beside him. Fei: "Let's go!"

The two rushed downstairs, and Lu Mengxin drove the car towards home.

Chen Fei sat on the co-pilot's seat and packed up the equipment, and asked him, "Brother Meng... Where are we going..."

Lu Mengxin's hand holding the steering wheel trembled unconsciously, and the car soon arrived at the gate of the community, "You wait for me in the car!" After shouting this sentence to Fade Chen, Lu Mengxin hurried home.

After entering the door, he turned on the computer anxiously, leaned over the desk, and stared at the screen without blinking.

The page was switched to gray and black, and the scarlet dots on the display of the electronic device glowed slightly.

Lu Mengxin felt her forehead twitching, her palms were moist, and she felt a little bit of inexplicable pleasure before she knew it.

Back in front of the car, the passenger on the co-driver saw him get back into the car, put down the handbrake, and then reversed, the movement was done without any hesitation.

Chen Fei wondered: "Brother Meng... Where are we going?"

Lu Mengxin spat out three words like gold: "Phoenix Mountain!"

Fade Chen only knew one thing but didn't know the other, "Go to Phoenix Mountain now? It's broad daylight, Brother Meng...you're not mistaken, are you?"

Lu Mengxin turned the steering wheel, the car turned around heavily, and drove towards the north of the city.

"Xiao Fei, listen... what I'm going to say next is very important." Lu Mengxin patiently explained to him while driving, "The last time we were in Tianhao Narada was when the two of us were arrested together. I secretly installed a small electronic tracker on Gao Jinyang's car tire. Just now An Yuan called, I thought about it for a long time... I don't see Gao Jinyang in the company these days, and even his secretary Wen Xianting rarely shows up... ...Also, Yan Family Mountain is gone too. I just checked the tracker, the car is now parked at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, if my judgment is correct..."

After hearing these words, Fade Chen showed a surprised expression on his face, and opened his mouth wide in disbelief: "Follow, tracker? I. Fuck... Brother Meng, where did you get this thing?"

Lu Mengxin didn't want to argue with him, the car got off the right road, and he stopped on the side of the road, "Get out of the car! Remember to take this away... If I haven't returned within two hours, I will try to notify the higher-ups no matter what, but I can't call the police to solve the problem." Do you understand?" After speaking, he drove Fade Chen off, and then threw the phone to him, "There will be the exact location of the car on it, and they probably haven't left yet. When the time comes, you bring someone over... Qian Don’t alert the police and the media, remember to remember!”

After chasing Fade Chen away, Lu Mengxin stepped on the accelerator hard without delay, and the car drove straight forward.

Speeding all the way, they soon arrived at the outskirts of Jiangcheng.

It was mid-winter, and there was a piece of dead wood and old grass at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. Lu Mengxin walked slowly along the mountain road. The car stopped at the side of the path, and the road ahead was a muddy road.

Lu Mengxin parked the car and got down, stepped into the dirt road, groped through the withered grass from memory, and found the hidden residence in the forest after a while.

The house was built in the 80s of last century, and a corner of the east side was hollowed out, and only the other half of the eaves remained.

Lu Mengxin crouched in the grass, observed through the micro-scope for a long time, and gradually figured out the internal form of the house.

The old house is divided into two floors. The ground floor is guarded by two strong men who look like thugs. They are tall and fat, and they are difficult to deal with at first sight; Looking at a man in a sweater, half of his face was exposed. Through the back view, he could probably tell that he was a thin man.

Holding her breath, Lu Mengxin slowly zoomed in on the camera, and the face of the man in the picture gradually became clear, with ink-like eyebrows, a straight nose bridge, and a pair of innocent big eyes full of fatigue and fear, looking around uneasily.

Lu Mengxin saw it clearly, it was none other than Yan Jiashan who Anyuan said had gone missing.

At this moment, Yan Jiashan was tied with both hands in front of the pillar at the door of the room.

The cold wind was bleak, the robbers deliberately left him in such a place... Lu Mengxin couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

He waited and watched for a while, making sure that there were no extra people on the second floor, so he didn't stay any longer.

Lu Mengxin installed the camera on a tripod, and through the shadows of the bushes, the miniature camera captured the scene of the room very well.

Lu Mengxin stooped forward, bypassed the main entrance of the house, sneaked to the unguarded east side, climbed up the tree with hands and feet, climbed up the edge of the wall after a while, landed with both feet, and stepped firmly on the corridor.

The door of the house on the east side was closed, Lu Mengxin looked in through the glass window, the inside was so dark that he couldn't see what was going on.

At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs.

Lu Mengxin tiptoedly hid in the garbage dump at the corner of the corridor, where there was a large pile of discarded furniture such as sofas and wardrobes. He opened the door of one of the wardrobes, hid deftly inside, and held his breath to eavesdrop. The sound of approaching footsteps.

The sound of footsteps stopped at the door of the room, there seemed to be more than one person coming, the other party opened the door and walked in, not long after, Lu Mengxin heard one of them say: "Damn, it's not dead yet, it's really stubborn." He first said He smiled, and said to his companions beside him, "Look, this rich man is different, even his life is tougher than ordinary people."

The other one didn't talk to him, but asked the people inside in a low voice, "Gao Jinyang, how is the matter going? As long as you agree to our request, we will let you go immediately... and the old and young outside will all Send them back like nothing happened."

When Lu Mengxin heard this name, his heart skipped a beat. Did he really expect that... Gao Jinyang was kidnapped?

He pressed one hand on his chest, afraid that the rapid heartbeat would attract the attention of the two people outside.

Fortunately, the two robbers didn't notice anything unusual at the moment, and they still focused on talking to Gao Jinyang and talking to themselves, "...Let me tell you the truth, things have gone beyond the big guy's expectations so far. Do you believe If you don't believe me, as long as you don't show up again, the next situation will only get worse... Sheng Hui at that time...huh..."

He didn't continue talking, but his companion interrupted him, and said: "What are you doing talking so much nonsense with him!" He shouted loudly, and kicked Gao Jinyang's abdomen heavily, Lu Mengxin heard someone groan, "What are you pretending to be, huh... Let me tell you, it really pissed me off. Believe it or not, I can make you live or die?" The rich man, just like you... At first he was too proud, but later he became honest, we let him do whatever we want him to do...Gao Jinyang, do you want to have a taste of this?"

The other kidnapper couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay...don't talk too much, when the boss comes back, we'll try to force him to speak."

"Tch, I just can't understand his self-important look, and he always pretends to be arrogant, so that he can understand who is the uncle now."

"It's all right, you're going to be arrogant at any time... Don't kill people, we're just doing things for people."

The two walked out the door while talking, Lu Mengxin heard the voice getting farther and farther away, finally couldn't help but pushed open the door of the dilapidated wardrobe, got out, lowered his body again, pushed the door open, and walked in in the dark.

In the room, Gao Jinyang was lying upright on the concrete floor.

He was wearing a thin sweater and was in a semi-comatose state.

Lu Mengxin approached carefully, and called him softly, but Gao Jinyang didn't respond, so he stretched out his hand to push him, but found that his whole body was extremely hot.

"Do you have a fever?" Lu Mengxin asked, Gao Jinyang heard the movement, half-closed his eyes, as if he wanted to see the other person's appearance clearly.

Lu Mengxin slandered: Originally, I didn't want to save you, but for the sake of you being my boss, for the sake of my job... I'll just do it once.

While hesitating, the door of the room was pushed open again—the two robbers went back and forth, as if they were going to prepare food for Gao Jinyang.

As soon as the three of them met, Lu Mengxin hurriedly stood up.

"Who is it!" One of the robbers shouted loudly, threw the water and steamed buns in his hand, and stepped forward to subdue him.

Lu Mengxin escaped from the other party's restraint with hands and feet, but didn't want another person to block the door, and looked at him with a hint of sternness in his eyes, "Interesting...here comes another one."

Before Lu Mengxin understood the intention of the other party's words, the person behind him supported him with both hands, "Haha... see where you can escape."

In the next second, Lu Mengxin received a heavy blow to his abdomen, and Lu Mengxin gasped for breath in pain.

"What are you, you dare to come to save him!" The man was arrogant and said viciously: "Third brother, tie him up, we haven't moved for a long time!"

As soon as this remark came out, the other kidnapper holding Lu Mengxin laughed and said, "It's easy to say... It seems that we have a lot of fun today..."

The two tied up Lu Mengxin one after the other, and before one of them could "teach me a lesson", they heard a burst of intensive footsteps not far away.

"What's going on?" One of them panicked and asked his partner, "Someone is here!"

The other Dang even came to his senses and turned to look at Lu Mengxin, "Did you bring a helper?" As soon as the words came out, the two of them turned pale.

"Second brother, what should I do... The footsteps are getting closer and closer!" One of them called out in a panic, and when he saw Lu Mengxin, he was so angry that he couldn't bear it, "Do you dare to bring a helper? Humph!" The wooden stick he was holding fell heavily on the back of Lu Mengxin's head...
