Bright Throne

In the early morning of the next day, the car sent by the NL advertising department sent Qin Yi and Ji Hangfeng to the airport, and all the staff members had already arrived.

The editor-in-chief is a capable woman in her 30s, dressed in neat business attire, and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses on her beautiful face. When she saw Qin Yi looking up and down, she stretched out her hand to him in satisfaction: "Hello, I am The person in charge of this outdoor shooting, Lan Jing."

"Hello." Qin Yi shook hands with her, "I'm Qin Yi."

"Hehe, I heard that the model this time is very good, I believe in the boss's vision." Lan Jing adjusted her glasses and said with a smile, "If the shooting effect is good this time, we will strive to be featured in "Glamour" magazine For the rookie column, after all, this time I specially invited the head photographer of Kari Agency in the United States, so please perform well."

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Compared with the rookie column, don't you think the cover is more challenging?"

Lan Jing was stunned for a moment, then put one hand on her waist, shrugged her shoulders with a look of helplessness and amused her: "I have seen many ambitious new models, and you are the craziest one among them." , but most of them can only talk wildly. I heard that Ye Lianxin, the editor-in-chief of "Charm", seems to recognize you, but no matter what relationship you have behind you, the cover model of "Charm" is even a big national competition. With champions and endorsements of international brands in hand, you may not be able to get it."

Lan Jing couldn't bear to hurt his self-confidence, so she patiently explained a few more words: "I didn't mean to pour cold water on you, no matter how much potential you have, you are currently a C-level rookie, don't set your goals too high, be careful and hope that the more The bigger the disappointment, the bigger the disappointment."

Hearing what she said, Qin Yi had no choice but to nod along with her words. After thinking about it, he still didn't tell the story that he had won the flat model championship. Under the flamboyant impression.

Although... what he said just now was quite low-key.

Ji Hangfeng had already gotten along with several staff members quickly, and even dug out a lot of gossip about the big-name photographer whom he hadn't seen yet.

"The assistant received a call just now, telling us not to wait for Mr. Bai, but to get on the plane directly. If we wait any longer, we will miss it. When we get to the place, Mr. Bai will meet us."

When several other people heard this sentence, they couldn't help showing such a look on their faces, as if they had become accustomed to the other party's behavior of playing big cards.

Qin Yi's impression of that guy immediately dropped in his heart, thinking that he was physically punished for being late for a few minutes!

This photographer dared to be kind, even if he said he was late to catch the plane, he was late. Qin Yi gave a bad comment to this master who had been on the Opedak almanac in his heart.

"What a big shelf." Taking advantage of being a few steps behind the crowd, Ji Hangfeng whispered in Qin Yi's ear, "I just heard that this Bo Han is Pei Hanrui's friend, if it wasn't for Pei Hanrui's face this time, He still refuses to come and take pictures of unknown newcomer models."

"Heh," Qin Yi smiled faintly, "Isn't this the way it is in this circle? When you are not famous, you ask for others. When you become famous, naturally a lot of people will come to ask for you."

He paused, stepped on the escalator steadily, and said calmly and firmly: "One day, I won't need to rely on Pei Hanrui, or anyone else."

From China across most of Asia to Africa, it takes a whole day even by plane, with several transfers during the period.

Qin Yi, who had never traveled such a long distance before, felt dizzy when he got off the plane, and his legs seemed to be floating on the ground, as if he was stepping on cotton lightly and effortlessly.

Ji Hangfeng was not much better, his face was extremely tired, but it was Lan Jing who often flew around, quite a bit of a strong woman's demeanor, except that his face was a little pale, but his spirit was not bad.

"Tonight we are resting in a hotel near the airport. Tomorrow morning we will go to the shooting location again. This time we will mainly be in a national park in Kenya, where there are many wild animals. Also, I heard that the security here in Africa is not very good at night. When the time comes, don't run around alone, be careful of danger."

Lan Jing gave them two room cards, and repeatedly told them about the safety issues before going back to the room to rest, mumbling why Bai Han hadn't contacted him while walking.

Qin Yi went back to his room and took a shower and immediately felt much more comfortable. When he came out to look at his phone, the three text messages on it were all sent by Pei Hanrui.

Article [-]: When you are safe, report that you are safe.

Article [-]: You can’t accept strike-ups from strange men, parentheses, and women are not allowed, back-brackets.

Article [-]: I originally bought you a supper, but after I paid the money, I realized that you were gone, so I had to eat it myself.

The most annoying thing is that there is a special photo of preserved egg and lean meat porridge attached to the third article.

"This guy definitely did it on purpose..." Qin Yideng felt a little bad all over, he didn't even have an appetite to eat anything on the plane.

This is good, I was so tired that I could fall asleep, but I was forced to scream by a photo, and I suddenly wanted to eat preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

"Can you still sleep well!" Qin Yi clutched his stomach and rolled in pain on the bed. After an arduous struggle, he finally chose the latter between lying down to sleep and going out to buy supper.

The local nightlife is far worse than that in China. Qin Yi left the hotel and walked for a long time before seeing a 24-hour convenience store open. There are few other lights on the street except for street lights. And off the "black" rampage.

When they checked into the hotel, Lan Jing exchanged local currency for them. Although Qin Yi had no idea about prices, fortunately, things like numbers are common all over the world.

When checking out, the black boss looked at Qin Yi a few more times, seemed surprised, and then babbled at him, Qin Yi couldn't understand a word, the boss saw him with a dazed look on his face, I was helpless, so I had to speak a few words in English, stuttering and grammatical.

Qin Yi even guessed, and vaguely heard his meaning as if he wanted to... go back quickly?

When he walked out of the convenience store, Qin Yi was still wondering, is the law and order here so bad at night? It's not South Africa.

Then, as soon as he walked through a dark alley, Qin Yi's eyelids twitched suddenly, his whole body was stiff, motionless, and his breathing was slightly wrong - because behind him, a cold and hard narrow spear suddenly hit him. Mouthpiece!

"Follow me, don't resist, or I'll kill you with one shot, Oriental." A deep, hoarse male voice came from behind, speaking English with an accent, threatening fiercely, and said with a sharp tongue Pushing hard on his back.

He took a deep breath, didn't look back, kept calm, and nodded slowly.

On the first day of the trip, Qin Yi encountered such a bad thing. With a sullen face, he couldn't help but think that if he still survived to return home, the first thing he would do was to buy a lottery ticket.

Up to now, it is only a matter of one step to see if he can survive, and I hope it is just a robbery.

"My wallet is in my pocket, take it away." Qin Yi said calmly.

The other party seemed to hesitate for a moment, but reached out and took out the wallet and stuffed it into his pocket. Just when Qin Yi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the big man said again: "Go forward, hurry up."

"I don't have any more money." Qin Yi thought he didn't think it was enough, so he explained in half English.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't listen to him at all, and ordered in a deep voice: "Throw away the phone!"

Being held by a gun, Qin Yi had no choice but to do so. He didn't want to have a bloody hole inexplicably opened, and he didn't dare to bet on the possibility that it was a toy gun.

Is this the so-called passing by and being shot? He is just a passer-by who came out to buy supper!

When slowly taking out the phone, Qin Yi wiped two hands on the touch screen based on his feeling, squatted down and put it on the ground, seeing that the other party had no intention of picking it up, he kicked it into the alley.

Seeing him throwing away his phone, the big man continued to coerce him to go forward, and was forced to get into a black van on the side of the road. Qin Yi's heart sank suddenly, and the worst possibility happened like this.

These guys are not for money, or not just for money?

When Qin Yi was coerced into getting into the car, his wrists were handcuffed. The inside of the car was very dark, with only a few sporadic faint lights from the headlights, and he could vaguely see that there were other people inside.

He was pushed hard by the big man, and he fell into the back seat when his foot was unstable, and hit a person.

The man was obviously also being handcuffed, and he was silent without saying a word, as if he didn't like being too close to others, frowning in the darkness, he moved a little inside.

"Don't talk! Otherwise, I'll make a hole in you!" When the big man closed the car door, he spat again, waved the gun in his hand, and then got into the passenger seat.

As soon as he got in the car, he started talking to the driver in the driver's seat, pointing at the people in the back row, and muttering the local language that Qin Yi could not understand.

Qin Yi quickly sat up straight, squinting his eyes to carefully distinguish the figures in the dark car, one, two, three...

Including the driver and the big man just now, there were five people in the car, including myself, and three of them were handcuffed. One of them was sitting on the left side of me, and the other was on the opposite side.

By the moonlight, the man on the opposite side seemed to be a white man. Compared with the big gun-wielding man, his figure was much thinner. He kept drooping his head, trembling non-stop, and looked very frightened.

The one on the left, I can't see his face clearly in the backlight, I just know it's a man, and the cuff buttons of his suit reflect a silver light under the moonlight.

The man was sitting upright, sitting there motionless and breathing steadily, as if he was not kidnapped, but a tourist. Only the cold handcuffs on his wrists shone in the moonlight, showing that he was victimized. person's identity.

Qin Yi turned his head and met his gaze. For a moment, taking advantage of the noise of the car, Qin Yi lowered his voice and said in Chinese: "Chinese?"

The man's expression changed, and he nodded slightly.

At this moment, across the other side of half of Asia, around 4 a.m. is the darkest period before dawn, and most people are in a sweet sleep.

Pei house.

In the dark night, the curtains were slightly lifted by the night wind, but no moonlight came in. The dark sky was dim, and even a few stars could not be seen.

Pei Hanrui was woken up by the sound of a mobile phone vibrating.Originally, he would turn off his mobile phone when he was resting at night, but tonight because he was waiting for Qin Yi's text message, he kept forgetting to turn it off.

He didn't sleep well, and he frowned in his dream. The vibrating sound was noisy for a long time before he touched it. He squinted his eyes and saw Qin Yi written on the caller ID.

"Hello, are you here?" He exhaled lightly, his hoarse and deep voice was still full of sleepiness.

But after connecting, there was no sound of breathing on the opposite side.

"Hello? Why don't you talk?" Pei Hanrui woke up a little bit, turned on the bedside lamp with one hand, and sat up from the bed.

"Hello? Qin Yi?"

"What's wrong with you? Talk!"

But what responded to him was always deathly silence.In the dark night, Pei Hanrui could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat, which became rapid amidst the hoarse crows of crows outside the window.

--problem occurs!

When he realized this, Pei Hanrui's heart skipped a beat, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
