This was already Ah Zhan's fifth call, but the man he left behind to guard Li Muyang didn't pick up. Ah Zhan felt flustered, afraid that something might happen to Li Muyang.
"Not even ten million! You can't be too greedy! If you are, you won't get anything if my dad calls the police!" Fu Tianci gritted his teeth. "Fifteen million! I can't go any higher!"
"Shut up!" Ah Zhan pointed his gun at Fu Tianci.
Fu Tianci's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he subconsciously raised his hands. But then he remembered that Ah Zhan was using him to threaten Lin Nuan, so he plucked up his courage and pushed Ah Zhan's gun away. He pretended to be calm and smiled. "If you kill me, what will you use to threaten Lin Nuan?"
Seeing Ah Zhan clench his masseter muscles, Fu Tianci knew that he had hit the nail on the head. His entire body relaxed, and he seriously discussed the matter with Ah Zhan!
"How much did your boss pay you to work for him? Your boss can give you that much? Don't think that I can't keep my word just because I'm a child. I'm my dad's only son! When you call, don't say that you're using me to threaten Lin Nuan. Just say that you kidnapped me. My dad will definitely give it to you! I promise you that I won't call the police!"
"Seal his mouth!" Ah Zhan said to his subordinates, feeling a headache coming on.
"I'll say … uhhh!"
After Fu Tianci's mouth was sealed, Ah Zhan felt that the world had turned quiet. He dialed the number again, but no one picked up.
Ah Zhan tugged at his collar in frustration.
Green light!
The car that Lin Nuan and the others were in moved forward steadily. The minibus slowly turned right, and the minivan carrying Ah Zhan and Fu Tianci quickly caught up to the car in front.
Seeing that Fu Tianci was getting further and further away from her, Lin Nuan grabbed Mu Taotao's hand. "If I leave, what about Fu Tianci?"
"Sister Nuan, don't worry! We'll rescue him!" Mu Taotao comforted Lin Nuan.
"Taotao, I don't want to add to your troubles, but Ah Zhan has explosives on him. I'm really worried if he goes crazy!" Lin Nuan's temples were throbbing.
"So we have to rescue him one by one! Sister Nuan, believe me! We'll definitely rescue Fu Tianci!" Mu Taotao smiled at Lin Nuan, looking very confident.
Mu Taotao had confidence in their team leader. Although their team leader looked like a little puppy, he had a steady personality and would never do anything that he wasn't confident in.
Lin Nuan nodded, restraining her emotions and calming herself down. She couldn't be of any help, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Mu Taotao and the rest.
The minibus turned right from Qujiang Road to the Third Ring Road, then turned into the more remote Wenyi Road and stopped by the roadside.
"Boss, change the car!" the driver turned his head and said to Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan nodded and got out of the car with You Nainai.
Mu Taotao and You Nainai protected Lin Nuan as they boarded the black Lincoln KC that was parked in front of the minibus.
Lin Nuan was extremely flustered. She lowered her head and got into the car. You Nainai discreetly held onto Lin Nuan's sweaty hand and didn't let go.
On the backseat was the bag that Lin Nuan had left behind in the dressing room. Lin Nuan subconsciously picked it up and hugged it to her chest.
Mu Taotao got into the front passenger seat, and the Lincoln KC started up slowly. Mu Taotao took out a box from the storage box and opened it. She nimbly assembled the gun, loaded the clip, and handed it to You Nainai.
The silent atmosphere made Lin Nuan's nerves so tense that they were in a straight line.
You Nainai nodded and took the gun, clipping it behind her waist.
Her phone vibrated, and Lin Nuan, who was highly focused, got a shock.
The driver in the front seat picked up the call, and Lin Nuan's gaze turned towards him. She paused in surprise.
Wasn't this the staff member who had clumsily knocked over the props box when he greeted Mu Taotao at Jinjiang TV Station?
The man wearing a navy blue cardigan handed the phone to Lin Nuan. "Boss, phone!"
Lin Nuan saw the driver pass the phone to her, and she hesitated for a moment before taking it. Seeing that the screen displayed an encrypted number, she held the phone to her ear with both hands. "Hello …"
Due to being nervous for a long time, all her muscles were tense. The moment she opened her mouth, Lin Nuan's voice sounded a little hoarse and cracked.
"Xiao Nuan …"
Fu Huai 'an's deep and mellow voice sounded from the other end of the line, and Lin Nuan felt a lump in her throat.
Before she could complain about her grievances, Lin Nuan hurriedly said to Fu Huai 'an, "Ah Zhan has explosives on him and is holding Fu Tianci hostage. But if Ah Zhan discovers that I'm not in that car, will he harm Fu Tianci?"
"Don't worry, Fu Tianci will be fine. Go home with You Nainai first and wait for me at home!"
Lin Nuan had always trusted Fu Huai 'an's words. If Fu Huai' an said that Fu Tianci would be fine, then Lin Nuan would believe him!
Lin Nuan gazed at the driver, and in her peripheral vision, she saw Mu Taotao …
She remembered that Fang Yan said that Mu Taotao was Little Lu's relative. It was Little Lu who called Fang Yan and asked her to arrange for Mu Taotao to be Lin Nuan's personal makeup artist!
Lin Nuan then recalled that after filming the publicity video at their new residence, Lin Nuan had treated the staff of Jinjiang TV Station to a meal. Fu Huai 'an didn't touch anyone else's toast except for Mu Taotao, who said that she would take good care of Lin Nuan. Fu Huai' an picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Linking these two incidents together, along with this staff member from Jinjiang TV Station, Lin Nuan seemed to have figured something out!
She clenched the hem of her shirt and asked Fu Huai 'an, "Did you arrange for Mu Taotao and these people to be by my side?"
Mu Taotao had a gun with her, and the young lady from earlier had extraordinary skills. There was also this staff member from Jinjiang TV Station, as well as You Nainai, who Fu Huai 'an had clearly placed by her side.
This was clearly in the country and should be the safest place, yet Fu Huai 'an had arranged for so many people to be by her side!
Lin Nuan felt uneasy, wondering if it was because of Li Muyang or because news of Fu Huai 'an's identity had been leaked. Fu Huai' an was protecting her but not letting her know of the dangers around her.
"This is a necessary protection for you. Are you angry that I didn't tell you?" Fu Huai 'an asked in a low voice.
Lin Nuan shook her head, her gaze turning even more solemn. "I'm afraid that you're in danger, yet you're hiding it from me!"
"I arranged for them to be by your side just in case. I'm not in any danger, so don't be afraid!" Fu Huai 'an's mature voice was filled with gentleness. "Let's talk when we get back."
Lin Nuan nodded. Realizing that Fu Huai 'an couldn't see her, she said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home!"
After hanging up the call, Lin Nuan handed the phone to the man in the driver's seat. She heard Mu Taotao ask, "Boss, where are we taking Sister Nuan to now? Back to Jinjiang TV Station to record the show?"
The man driving looked at Mu Taotao with a grim expression. "To Haicheng!"
