“Little Yan went missing, and the film crew encountered some trouble.”
Jiang Lixing’s voice rang in Ning Huanxin’s ears, and it stunned her for a long while before she finally reacted.
“What happened to the film crew?”
Seeing her look of ignorance, Jiang Lixing could not help but ask, “Do you remember what happened before you fell unconscious?”
“I…”
Ning Huanxin frowned and replied, “I… I can’t remember.”
She would not talk about Li Yan, let alone talk about Qin Su and Zhang Yan’s affair.
Seeing Ning Huanxin’s look, Jiang Lixing sighed. “Nobody knows what happened. Everyone seemed to have suffered temporary amnesia for a particular time during the shoot. When everyone recovered, you and Zhang Yan went missing while we found Qin Su laid in a pool of crimson red blood. The Director called an ambulance while the rest looked for you and Zhang Yan before they finally found you at the barren grave outside the town. As for Little Yan… she had remained missing till last night…”
At this point, Jiang Lixing paused subconsciously.
“What happened last night?”
Ning Huanxin was not shocked that she had lost consciousness for two days. Instead, she just wanted to know what happened last night as soon as possible.
“Last night, some people from the film crew went missing again.”
Jiang Lixing stared at Ning Huanxin’s eyes seriously and spoke, “Those missing were people from the film crew the day before. Everyone from the film crew is in a state of panic right now, and Brother Wang has already called the police while some minor actors and extras have left the team ahead of schedule. I am afraid that this movie… might be gone.”
The sudden disappearance of the actors, while some fell unconscious for days, was creepy and strange.
“Are you scared?”
Jiang Lixing suddenly asked Ning Huanxin.
“Nope,” answered Ning Huanxin with a smile before continuing, “Any information from the police?”
“Forensic officer Zhang had confirmed that the blood collected from the scene belonged to Zhang Yan. But since Qin Su is still unconscious, nobody knows what had happened. Now that you’re awake, the police might interrogate you. Don’t be scared; just speak the truth.”
Jiang Lixing could not help but comfort Ning Huanxin.
Nobody knew the truth better than Ning Huanxin, but she knew better than to say about it. Even if she did, the police would not believe her.
No, perhaps someone would believe her.
“Where’s Auntie Zhang?”
Ning Huanxin suddenly asked. “Now that Little Yan is missing is Auntie Zhang, alright?”
“Auntie Zhang has also fallen ill, but she refuses to rest or be hospitalized. She’s looking for Zhang Yan everywhere.”
Zhang Clan Town was not that big, and one could easily find anyone and everyone. Where could Zhang Yan hide?
Zhang Yunshu had an argument with the film crew before regarding their decision to send her daughter to act in the movie and go to the river for filming.
However…
What was the point of arguing?
Zhang Yan was still missing. Her Little Yan was missing.
**
Ning Huanxin was recovering well. After she woke up, the police from the town came to question her about the events that night, but Ning Huanxin replied like the rest of the film crew- “clueless” about everything.
The police could only return with futile efforts.
At night, Zhang Yunshu returned. Though only two days had passed, she looked much more haggard and pale.
“Auntie Zhang.”
Ning Huanxin called out to Zhang Yunshu with a whisper.
Zhang Yunshu seemed to be in a trance. Hearing Ning Huanxin’s voice, she looked towards her, but their eyes did not meet.
“Auntie Zhang, please come over. I have something to say to you.”
Ning Huanxin’s voice was very low. Zhang Yushu saw her discreet manner, and her eyes suddenly lit up with some hope.
Miss. Ning was not an ordinary person. With this in mind, she rushed towards Ning Huanxin.
