I, holding the script, kidnapped the male protagonist's benefactor

Royal Garden Villa.

Yuan Shenghe subconsciously looked around, and seeing that there was no one around, he paused and then looked away.

Ever since Ji Yu moved in, he has been eating at home almost every night.

After Ji Yu stopped working as an assistant, she has been by his side. It has been several months since she was separated from Ji Yu for such a long time.

Yuan Shenghe thought he was used to it.

Before he met Ji Yu, he had always been alone.

I thought it would only be a few days, but every time I came home from get off work and saw the empty bedroom, I felt a little uncomfortable.

After more than twenty years of living like this, he could no longer adapt to the changes in just a few months.

When working in the study at night, Yuan Shenghe always felt his eyelids twitching. He thought he had not yet adapted.

"Mr. Yuan, are you tired? Why don't you go and have a rest first?" Secretary Liu in the video saw him rubbing his eyes several times in a row.

Mr. Yuan has been working really hard to make time recently. It's the end of the year and the workload is heavy, so he has almost no time to rest.

"No need." Yuan Shenghe pinched his eyes again.

Secretary Liu had no choice but to continue reporting his work.

A few minutes later, Yuan Shenghe suddenly interrupted him and said, "Forget it, let's stop here for today. Write a report on the rest and hand it in to me by tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, then you should go to bed early." Secretary Liu closed the document in his hand without any hesitation.

His boss has turned into a workaholic, and as his secretary he has no choice but to work around the clock. He is also very tired during this period.

After turning off the video call, Yuan Shenghe went back to the bedroom and took a shower.

He lay down in bed an hour early today, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. His right eyelid even twitched from time to time, which made him feel a little uneasy.

He picked up the phone on the bedside table, flipped to the chat window with Ji Yu, and sent a message.

A few seconds later, Ji Yu's reply popped up in the chat window.

The restless heart calmed down instantly at this moment.

Xianyu Fanshen: I haven’t finished it yet, it will probably take another hour, you go to sleep first.

8888: Why is it so late?

Xianyu Fanshen: Moving graves is not a quick thing, it has time requirements, and you still have to offer sacrifices afterwards, this is the custom here.

8888: Send me a message when you’re done.

Xianyu Fanshen: It’s already past one o’clock, why aren’t you sleeping yet?

Yuan Shenghe asked instead of answering.

8888: When will you come back?

Turning things around: The earliest it can happen is tomorrow afternoon.

Salted Fish Turns Over: I won’t tell you anymore, my parents’ urns are going to be buried.

Yuan Shenghe replied with a "OK", and Ji Yu did not reply again.

He lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

Time passed by little by little, and the moonlight outside the window filtered through the screen and sprinkled lightly on the floor.

It was not until a rapid phone call rang that Yuan Shenghe suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

There was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes, and he even revealed a hint of sharpness. He stretched out his long arm and took the mobile phone from the bedside table.

The number displayed on the screen was unfamiliar, but he answered it without hesitation.

"Mr. Yuan, something bad has happened. Ji Yu is missing."

-

Qingxi Town is surrounded by mountains on both sides with dense vegetation, and only people living locally would go into the mountains.

Not only is it easy for outsiders to get lost, but they are also likely to encounter danger, because there are some places in the mountains that even locals rarely go to, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants there.

Although it is winter now, it is more dangerous in the mountains late at night. If you disturb the hibernating animals, you may be attacked at any time.

"grass!"

The rustling of the grass suddenly startled the people around, and a black shadow jumped across the ground.

The young man who was pulling at the bushes was so scared that he took a few steps back and was almost tripped by a protruding stone. Fortunately, there was someone behind him, otherwise he would have rolled down and might have died.

"Be careful!" The leader with a scar on his forehead warned in a low voice.

"But brother, it's too dangerous here. That seemed to be a poisonous snake just now." Little brother No. 1 felt sympathetic.

Poisonous insects often pass through this sparsely populated mountain area, and in the past, there were reports from time to time in their village of someone being bitten by an insect or snake.

If he had received medical treatment in time, he might have been able to save his life.

Those who are late will disappear on the road.

Later, fewer and fewer people went into the mountains unless necessary, and people only went to those areas that had already been developed.

No one wants to come to a place like this where there is no road and everything is muddy.

"What happened to the venomous snake? It's all because of you good-for-nothings like you that didn't even keep an eye on one person!"

The boss glanced coldly at their faces illuminated by the light from their cell phones.

"We didn't expect him to be so vigilant and slip away in a flash." Little Brother No. 1 said hesitantly.

"Damn, that guy can run so fast! He chooses to run in the deserted mountains. Isn't he afraid of encountering danger?" The second little brother is more impatient.

Brother number three sneezed, pulled his thin jacket closer, and jumped on the spot due to the cold.

"It's too cold in the mountains. If I had known, I would have put on an extra layer of clothing."

"Hurry up and find him. It's hard for us to walk in a place like this. He can't run far. We must catch him before dark!"

The boss walked forward a few steps, pushed aside the grass in front of him, then suddenly took two steps back and shouted to his younger brothers behind him.

"Hurry up, everyone. Split up and search. If anyone finds any trace of him, shout immediately to notify the others."

The three brothers didn't want to stay in the mountains for too long. It was indeed cold and dangerous, and there was no signal. They couldn't even call for support.

In order to find the escaped Ji Yu, they directly launched a carpet search and, under the command of the boss, searched in a fan-shaped direction.

Time passed by second by second.

A faint hint of paleness quietly appeared in the distant sky.

The boss and his three younger brothers had their limbs frozen stiff, and now even the boss cursed out loud.

"Where on earth is this bastard hiding? It's so cold, how can he bear it!"

"Boss, he's not going to keep going inside, is he?"

"I heard there are man-eating beasts in the mountains. We have been looking for him for two hours. Could he have been eaten?"

"Why don't we guard the way down the mountain? He can't hide in the mountains forever, he will definitely come down the mountain."

The little brother No. 3 who was speaking was slapped in the face by the boss, and his head was knocked off balance.

"Are you stupid? He has friends down the mountain. If we go over there now, why don't we just tell him that we have a problem? He might have already called the police!"

The most important thing is that he has already received the money, and the other party gave him a large sum of money, otherwise he would not agree to take this order.

The other party also promised to give him another million after the matter was completed.

He had never robbed so much money before. After getting this money, it would be enough for him to live a carefree life for a long time.

The eldest brother took a deep breath and said with a gloomy face, "Keep looking. I don't believe we can't find him. The footprints we saw along the way indicate that he is still in there."

"My feet are frozen." Brother No. 3 lowered his head and said tremblingly.

He was wearing jeans with some holes in them. The cold air not only attached to the pants, making them wet, but also seeped in through the holes, making him shiver all over.

"Hold on!" The boss said impatiently, "As long as you finish this job, I'll give each of you 50,000 yuan!"

The three brothers' eyes lit up when they heard this, "So many."

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I take this order?"

The three of them were immediately excited.

They are usually idle hooligans who have little money in their pockets except for taking money from their families.

We live in a society ruled by law. Robbery and protection rackets will result in imprisonment. Unless one day one can no longer survive, some people will choose to eat free jail food.

With these 50,000 yuan, they can live a carefree life for a long time.

The sky outside was getting brighter, but the mountains were still dark under the cover of dense tree branches and leaves.

Just as they were still trying hard to search, a huge roar suddenly came from the distant sky.

The damp and cold air swept in with a strong gale, and the tall trees were rustled by the wind.

The four people in the bushes, who had no time to be shocked, were instantly knocked down by the hurricane force wind brought by the propeller. Their limbs were stiff like ice sculptures, and they rolled on the ground for several times. The expressions on their faces were frozen, and only their eyes were still moving, staring at the helicopter above their heads in horror.
