Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

program group.

The news has been temporarily blocked.

Qu Long was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth on the ground with his phone in his hand.

Dong Shuchen, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer, but he couldn't find any words to comfort Qu Long.

The blurry video signal received by their production team stopped at the moment when someone got out of the van, threw out a fire axe, broke the window, and surrounded Yin Su and his group.

Fortunately, they were using portable equipment, and there was a few minutes of broadcast delay after the program crew received the signal.

Qu Long made a decisive move and cut off the director's signal, thus interrupting the live broadcast for those outside.

The other party was armed, and the fact that the people sitting in the Santana stopped the car under such circumstances suggests that they were likely in grave danger.

But Qu Long dared not say it.

The other car was clearly there to abduct children; they seemed very familiar with the terrain, suggesting they'd been involved in this business for some time.

Putting aside the two children assigned to Bai Zixiu by the production team, the car that chased after them contained two children from Yin Su's group, Bo Bing, Jiang Wenqing, and Yin Su, whose identity is not simple.

Putting aside how the show will turn out, considering this matter of life and death, his career is probably over.

Even if he manages to survive the legal and public sanctions, if the movie star Yin Su gets into trouble, the powerful forces behind Yin Su will definitely purge him without mercy.

While others might not know of Yin Su's strength, he had certainly heard of it.

He dared to say that if something happened to Yin Su today, tomorrow... he might not even have to wait until tomorrow; he would simply disappear from the world without a trace.

Qu Long's knees buckled.

He fell heavily onto the floor tiles.

He gritted his teeth and asked Dong Shuchen to call the local police station again to urge them to hurry up. Dong Shuchen was someone he had trained from the very beginning, and apart from being a photographer, he was also one of his confidants.

Qu Long's fists went numb; the sound of rain outside was like a death knell.

"Something bad has happened," Dong Shuchen's voice was a little hoarse, "They said there's been a landslide due to rain on the road, and the highway is blocked... Their people are trying to get there on foot to check the situation... It'll probably take a while..."

Qu Long collapsed to the ground.

After a long while, he heard his own dry voice.

"Call He Jinlan, one of Yin Su's people."

Qu Long knew that Yin Su had four confidants: Xiao Peilin, the secretary in charge of overall affairs; Li Ling, the "housekeeper" in charge of daily life and information collection; Sun Qiuping, the agent that Feng Tianhan had sent to help him with entertainment industry affairs; and... Yin Su's subordinate who had exchanged contact information with Qu Long after only one meeting.

—He Jinlan.

The He family is a powerful family in City B, which speaks volumes about their influence.

He Jinlan's father, He Xiangguo, was a confidant of Yin Su's biological father, Yin Zhenghua.

Similarly, He Jinlan was a confidante of Yin Su.

If they call He Jinlan now, it means that the forces behind Yin Su will soon find out what happened to Yin Su.

It's better than knowing but not reporting it, Qu Long thought. By then it would be too late to say these things, and the guys on the other side might not even listen to him.

Dong Shuchen sighed, took Director Qu Long's phone, dialed a number, and the call was answered after one ring.

"Hello, this is He Jinlan," a serious voice came from the other end. The person on the other end was a stern-faced fellow who immediately got to the point, "What happened to Yin Su?"

With a confident tone, Dong Shuchen finished speaking, forcing himself to be quiet. The other party remained silent for a moment.

"I understand. Please keep your phone switched on."

Wen Yuan and Zhao Yang returned from their jobs one after the other, but they didn't see Bo Bing and the other two children, who should have been cooking, doing crafts with the children, or giving interviews on a rainy day.

The perceptive Wen Yuan narrowed his eyes, gave Zhao Yang a wink, and then, avoiding the flustered Bai Shanyan, Bai Zixiu, and their group members, returned to the dormitory through the back corridor.

"Something seems off on set. The cameramen and staff have all disappeared. What happened?"

“I just went to the restroom and overheard the photographer and staff next door talking about a meeting—it seems like something happened to Brother Bo Bing and the others…” Zhao Yang pursed his lips, his face pale behind his black-rimmed glasses. “With this heavy rain, I wonder how things are going on their end.”

"I'll go find the director and make a phone call."

Wen Yuan stood up.

"I'm going too, Brother Wenyuan."

Zhao Yang clearly knew what Wen Yuan meant.

......

After confirming that the police had been called, Jiang Wenqing immediately contacted the program team through the police station.

The program's landline rang shrilly, and Dong Shuchen's heart leaped into her throat.

"Director Long, this is an unfamiliar number."

"catch."

The landline number registered with the program team is not He Jinlan's phone number.

"This is Jiang Wenqing. Call the director, something's happened!"

That phone call was a lifesaver.

Upon hearing Jiang Wenqing's voice, Qu Long jumped up from the ground and snatched the phone.

"Xiao Qing, it's Qu Long! Are you all alright? Are you all safe? What happened? Is the movie star alright?"

Jiang Wenqing ran towards the intersection and saw Yin Su lying on the ground in the distance.

"Director, my child and I are alright..." Jiang Wenqing's heart was about to jump out of his chest. Being with these corpses in the pouring rain, he felt like his soul was flying away. His body was burning up. When he saw Yin Su lying down and Bo Bing nowhere to be seen, Jiang Wenqing's legs went weak and he rushed to Yin Su's side to check his breathing.

The sight of that lifeless corpse had left him traumatized.

I'm afraid...

Before Qu Long could even breathe a sigh of relief.

"Teacher Yin Su, wake up..." The sound of Jiang Wenqing collapsing came from the other end of the phone, along with her sobs. "Director, help! Teacher Yin Su is unconscious! Bo Bing has disappeared..."

"Call someone quick! Someone's dead... Bo Bing killed someone..."

Qu Long's vision went black.
