At this moment, Pei Yi had the urge to turn the car around and go back to Guangzhou to deal with Chen Minshu immediately.
He took a deep breath, threw his dead cell phone on the seat beside him, wiped his face with his hands, and analyzed the reason why Feng Zhongliang called him.
Thinking of the 'Jiang Zhiyuan' that Feng Zhongliang had mentioned before, Feng Zhongliang had experienced war in his life and would not easily lose his composure like this.
But on the phone, his voice was trembling with excitement, obviously there was something important.
"Jiang Zhiyuan, Jiang Zhiyuan." He repeated the name twice in his mind and tried his best to connect this person to the Feng family.
Pei Yi knew very well who the Feng family's relatives were. During the years when he was pursuing Feng Nan, he also found out exactly who were in her family.
Among the people related to the Feng family, he had no impression of the name 'Jiang Zhiyuan', who was obviously not among the relatives of the Feng family.
The taxi was speeding on the highway. Pei Yi somehow remembered a phone call from Jiang Se a few months ago, in which he mentioned the kidnapping.
She didn't call him very often. She was passive and introverted, not a passionate person. Pei Yi was particularly surprised when she called him, especially when she later mentioned the kidnapping case when she was young, which made Pei Yi unforgettable.
From her, Pei Yi learned more details about her kidnapping when she was young. He asked Jiang Se the name of the kidnapper. He remembered Jiang Se once mentioned that in order to protect her, Feng Zhongliang had ordered the Feng family not to mention the matter in front of her. Afterwards, he only vaguely remembered that the kidnapper in charge was named Jiang, and was imprisoned in Hong Kong after being arrested.
Feng Zhongliang mentioned that this man named Jiang Zhiyuan was "released from prison", and it was very likely that he was one of the kidnappers who had kidnapped Feng Nan and had completed his sentence. Feng Zhongliang also said "two months ago", but unfortunately his phone ran out of battery and turned off automatically.
If Jiang Zhiyuan was really the one who kidnapped Feng Nan, then after he was released from prison, even if he had returned to the imperial capital and wanted to avenge the failed kidnapping and extortion and the subsequent imprisonment, he should have taken out his anger on the current 'Feng Nan'.
Pei Yi found the reason why Feng Zhongliang made this call somewhat intriguing. Was it because Feng Zhongliang was worried about Feng Nan's safety and knew that Feng Nan had been very caring towards Feng Nan in the past? So after knowing that Jiang Zhiyuan was released from prison, he immediately called him. Was it because he wanted Jiang Zhiyuan to do something and keep a close eye on him, or was there some other reason
After Feng Zhongliang left the army, he went to Hong Kong to develop. Although the power of the imperial capital was not as great as before, his reputation and status were still there. Several bigwigs in the army had more or less some friendship with him in the past.
If he really cared about Feng Nan and was willing to risk his reputation by asking someone to plead for her, this would not be a big deal at all.
But if that was the case, there would be no need for him to call me and I could have solved the problem, especially since I had a girlfriend in recent years and had fallen out with Feng Nan and had almost no contact with him. A person with Feng Zhongliang's personality would not likely do such a thing.
Unless the matter is related to Jiang Se, he will remind himself specifically!
Pei Yi pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes. Assuming his original guess remained unchanged, Jiang Zhiyuan was one of the kidnappers who kidnapped Feng Nan, and now he is out of prison, Feng Zhongliang's reminder proved two things.
Either this Jiang Zhiyuan has some relationship with Jiang Se, or Feng Zhongliang has already guessed that Jiang Se is his granddaughter Feng Nan.
Both possibilities are very likely. Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang Se both have the same surname, Jiang. In addition, according to the information that Nie Dan investigated, Jiang Se originally followed her mother Zhou Hui to remarry into the Du family, and none of her relatives on her father's side were mentioned.
At first, Pei Yi asked for her information just to confirm Feng Nan's identity. He was not very interested in Jiang Se herself. After confirming what he wanted to know, he did not investigate further. Only now did he feel a little regretful.
Now both possibilities exist, just waiting for him to confirm.
Now I can only wait until I reach my destination, charge my phone, and then call Feng Zhongliang to confirm.
Regardless of whether his guess is true or not, and regardless of whether Jiang Zhiyuan is the one who kidnapped Feng Nan, he will not give this person a chance to hurt Jiang Se.
He asked:
"How long will it take to get to New Territories Town?"
The taxi had been running for more than half an hour. The driver noticed the anxiety hidden under the calm face of the passenger and answered carefully:
"There's still half an hour at most."
There was no traffic jam after getting on the highway, and Xinjie Town is not a tourist attraction, so there were not many people.
Not even half an hour had passed before Pei Yi saw the instructions for Xinjie Town.
Before he came, he had already written down the name of the village where Jiang Se was filming. When the driver asked along the way and arrived at the village, it was not yet ten o'clock in the morning.
The news that a film crew had come to the village had spread within two days, and many people from nearby villages gathered around when they heard that stars had arrived.
Pei Yi paid the money and got off the car. He easily found out the whereabouts of Jiang Se and others.
Many villagers were rushing up the mountain. Pei Yi was also in the crowd. He went up the mountain while listening to the people around him chatting. He didn't come too late. The crew had only been here for two days and had just started shooting today.
Pei Yi took some time to break through the security and enter the filming location. When he found the room where Jiang Se was filming, the plot just entered the moment when several kidnappers surrounded Jiang Se and discussed how to extort a ransom from the Tang family.
Jiang Se was tied up and fell to the ground, struggling and squirming with difficulty. Her hair was a little disheveled, her expression was extremely embarrassed, and her eyes were filled with fear.
It was not until this moment that Zhang Jing'an realized why the girl had dared to let the makeup artist remove the foundation on her pale face. She had the confidence.
Her face at this moment did not need any additional lighting from the lighting technician or post-production editing. It had already taken on an extremely terrifying bluish-white color. It was not the unnatural paleness that she had previously had under a thick layer of foundation. She seemed terrified, as if she had been kidnapped for real.
Jiang Se's performance in this scene was so realistic that Zhang Jing'an couldn't even feel any trace of "acting". He grasped his thigh with his hand, trying hard to suppress the satisfaction in his heart.
Daniel and others were still reciting their lines. This tall and handsome foreign man was about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, with long brown, slightly curly hair combed back, two thick eyebrows pressed above his eyes, a cold and ruthless gaze, and a beard.
His tall stature easily reminded Jiang Se of the kidnapper leader in her memory, which brought her great psychological pressure.
She was surrounded by malicious eyes, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether this was a movie or reality, and struggled to hide in a corner. (To be continued)
