HUFT Chapter 43

Chapter 43

Chi Nan ran a few steps and rushed into the hotel. After arriving, he didn’t see any trace of Uncle Fu. He found the hotel front desk and asked if they had seen a man and a woman, roughly describing their appearances.

“I just changed shifts and I’m not too sure.”

The front desk’s words made Chi Nan instantly flustered. He needed to calm down now. Chi Nan took a deep breath, opened his contacts, and found Little Zhu.

“Hello.”

Little Zhu had just said “hello” when he was startled by Chi Nan’s rapid-fire words.

“Listen to me. Just now, Uncle Fu and Su Xi went out. Uncle Fu called me, but there was no sound on his end. I only heard Su Xi’s voice. And now, I can’t find them anywhere in the hotel. I don’t know where they took Uncle Fu.”

“Give me the address, I’ll try to contact someone.”

Chi Nan forwarded the address that Uncle Fu had initially sent him to Little Zhu. Little Zhu arrived quickly, and the two met at the hotel.

“I tried calling Su Xi’s assistant, but couldn’t get through. I can’t get through to Sister Fu Shi either. I can’t reach anyone from the Fu family. At this time, the biggest possibility of Su Xi taking Brother Fu away is to use some dirty tricks to achieve certain goals. We can’t call the police. I’ve already notified the production team and asked them to search around.”

When Little Zhu arrived, he was still trying to call Fu Shi on his phone, but he couldn’t get through.

“Let’s check the surveillance footage.”

Chi Nan said. The disappearance of Fu Chaoyun definitely had to be reported to the production team, but calling the police would have a wider impact. Chi Nan found the front desk and started asking about the surveillance footage. Finally, Chi Nan and Little Zhu went to the security room to watch the surveillance equipment together.

With every second that passed, Chi Nan’s worry increased. The surveillance video showed Fu Chaoyun initially drinking with Su Xi. Eventually, Fu Chaoyun got drunk and was helped away by Su Xi. A few minutes later, a figure quietly drove away from the back door.

“Zoom in. I need to see the license plate number.”

Chi Nan captured a moment of information and found the license plate number. He also saw that the person passed out in the car was Uncle Fu, and the person supporting Fu Chaoyun was Su Xi.

After drugging Fu Chaoyun, Su Xi took him to a hotel room, changed into less conspicuous clothes, and then found two people to help Fu Chaoyun into the car. They drove east to a warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, Fu Chaoyun was unconscious. Su Xi placed Fu Chaoyun on a clean white bed. Next to the bed was a camera. Su Xi knelt on the bed and began to undress Fu Chaoyun.

“I’m sorry, I’m also desperate.”

Su Xi’s hands didn’t stop. She unbuttoned Fu Chaoyun’s shirt and then took off her own clothes, leaving only a vague illusion. Su Xi and Fu Chaoyun lay on the bed, taking photo after photo of intimate poses. The camera flashed continuously. Every photo was extremely suggestive. In the entertainment industry, one photo would be enough to blow up the internet, let alone a series of them. After taking pictures for a while, Su Xi felt tired, and her hand unconsciously touched her stomach.

“Don’t blame me, blame you for being too rich. I can only get something from you. I’m not doing this for myself, I have a life here too.”

Su Xi appeared elegant and charming in her red dress, but a closer look revealed that her eyes were full of fatigue. When doing some exercise on the show, she only made slight movements, avoiding any large ones, being cautious at all times.

She was three months pregnant. After her husband went to jail for drug use, she used her own money to repay most of the debts. Later, she repackaged herself and invested in a TV series, losing a lot of money. Recently, she had latched onto Yu, the director of Shen Corporation, who managed to get her into this show. But she was pregnant. She didn’t want to give birth to this child, but that bastard Yu Jianguo threatened her. He said that if Su Xi dared to abort the child, he would reveal all her past deeds. Her past wasn’t exactly glorious, but once exposed, she wouldn’t have a penny left and might even be ruined. She wouldn’t be able to gain a foothold in the circle, and everyone would want to condemn her. She had no money now, and Yu Jianguo was avoiding her to the point where she was almost depressed. Yu Jianguo was also broke, his money was all in his wife’s hands, and he only gave Su Xi a little bit. This method was suggested by Yu Jianguo, and she had no choice.

“I only need thirty million. After thirty million, I’ll escape this circle. As long as you give me the photos, none of this will be made public.”

Su Xi adjusted her clothes and quickly took another set of photos.

Chi Nan and Little Zhu couldn’t call the police, and Fu Shi’s phone still wasn’t going through. Little Zhu was anxiously stomping his feet. Chi Nan also understood that every minute wasted increased Uncle Fu’s danger. They couldn’t wait any longer, Chi Nan thought.

Chi Nan walked to the corner and dialed a number that was deeply ingrained in his mind. That number was given to Chi Nan by his maternal grandfather, Chi Yelin, before he passed away. He told Chi Nan to call that number if he encountered something he couldn’t solve. Chi Nan had never called it in all these years. He didn’t know who was on the other end, but he still chose to dial the number.

“Hello.”

“I’m Chi Nan, Chi Ye’s grandson. I need your help. My boyfriend, Fu Chaoyun, has been taken away. The license plate number is xxx. I hope you can help me find him.”

Chi Nan’s voice was trembling. He didn’t know if the other person would help him, or if they could even find Uncle Fu. Everything was uncertain. After Chi Nan finished speaking, the other end fell silent. Chi Nan was calling with a glimmer of hope. He didn’t know who the other person was. If this method didn’t work, then their only option was to call the police.

“Your address.”

“I’m at the Yihe Hotel.”

The call was disconnected. Ten minutes later, a car stopped in front of the Yihe Hotel and honked to signal Chi Nan to get in.

Chi Nan and Little Zhu got into the car. It was an SUV. Chi Nan and Little Zhu sat in the back. As soon as they got in, they heard the person in the passenger seat speak.

“The person is in a warehouse in the eastern suburbs. My people are already there.”

“Thank you.”

Chi Nan first thanked him. He hadn’t even seen the person’s face clearly, but the voice was crisp and forceful, giving people a sense of strength.

“Are you Chi Nan?”

The person asking the question glanced at Chi Nan in the rearview mirror and then asked.

“Yes, I am Chi Nan.”

The person asking the question glanced at him and didn’t speak further. Chi Nan’s heart was uneasy all the way and never calmed down. On the way, he could feel the person in the passenger seat looking at Chi Nan occasionally. He didn’t know where the person came from, but from the looks of it, the person’s identity was definitely not simple.
