Feng Zhongliang didn't even dare to imagine how Jiang Zhiyuan would react if Feng Nan really said that.
When such a lawless and dangerous person took risks again for his daughter and heard some "truths" from Feng Nan, Feng Zhongliang didn't dare to think about what he would do.
In addition to these concerns, Feng Zhongliang was actually a little worried about Feng Nan.
She fell into Jiang Zhiyuan's hands, and after so long, it's still unclear whether she is dead or alive.
Although he knew that her survival might pose a threat to Jiang Se, as people get older, they tend to be soft-hearted and he didn't want Feng Nan to just die like that.
But he could only keep these words in his heart.
"Did Chaoqun tell you to return home later?"
Feng Zhongliang suppressed his worries and became concerned about Jiang Se's whereabouts.
In fact, he and Pei Yi both knew Jiang Se's itinerary, and they also understood that there were many people around Jiang Se. She herself had been kidnapped in the past, so she was very careful and would not be left alone.
Besides, Pei Yi also knew about this matter, so he would definitely have people keep a close eye on Jiang Se and not let anything happen to him.
But Feng Zhongliang still felt uneasy about Feng Nan’s kidnapping. At his age, he could not withstand any more blow.
“We have to go back before the movie is released.”
Jiang Se spoke subconsciously. At this moment, she felt light all over, as if her feet could not step on solid ground, and her mind was in a mess: "Grandpa, haven't you found 'him' yet?"
"No." Feng Zhongliang said:
"He wanted to hide and had made preparations long ago." He quit his job, spent all his money in cash, had no social circle, no friends, and didn't even use the Internet. This matter couldn't be made a big deal. His identity was particularly sensitive as he was Jiang Se's biological father. If it got out of hand, although it would be good for *** Zhiyuan, it would be ruined for Jiang Se.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, just like now.
"If you can stay abroad for a longer period of time, stay as long as possible. Be careful not to be alone and don't go to remote corners. Don't announce your whereabouts after you return home. Ayi already knows about it and will arrange for someone to protect you."
Feng Zhongliang gave detailed instructions. Jiang Se was silent for a moment and asked him:
"Will he, will he, kill 'her'?"
This question was actually what Feng Zhongliang was worried about. When he heard Jiang Se ask this question, Feng Zhongliang was silent for a long time until Jiang Se called him again:
"grandfather?"
"I don't know." Feng Zhongliang's voice was hoarse, and his tone was helpless.
This is a result that no one wants to see. No matter how unlikable Feng Nan is, even if she came from nowhere and occupied Feng Nan's body, she is still a living being, and Feng Zhongliang also hopes that she can live.
But Feng Zhongliang also knew that this hope was very slim. Jiang Zhiyuan probably had no intention of saving Feng Nan's life after doing all this, so there was no clue at all since Feng Nan disappeared.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Se looked dazed. Mo Anqi and others felt that her expression was a little strange, but they also thought that she was just too tired today and didn't think of anything else.
Chen Shan excitedly told her about the good results her speech had brought tonight, and read out to her the comments from major media and film critics, as well as the praise from fans. But Jiang Se didn't have the time to listen to all this at the moment.
She reluctantly listened to Mo Anqi talking about tomorrow's work. There was still work tomorrow, so Mo Anqi and the others sat for a while and soon said goodbye and returned to their rooms.
When he was the only one left in the room, Jiang Se began to tremble unrestrainedly.
She forced herself to call Pei Yi, who said:
"Don't worry."
Compared with Feng Zhongliang's slightly tired voice, his tone is steady and powerful, with a strong sense of security, which makes people indulge in it involuntarily:
"He kidnapped Feng Nan and has shown no remorse. Grandpa has borrowed some people to go to Hong Kong to investigate his whereabouts. Once he is found, he can be shot first."
He would not give Jiang Zhiyuan an opportunity to take advantage of him. The Feng family couldn't find him before, which was also related to the fact that the Feng family was businessmen. In addition, Jiang Zhiyuan was indeed good at hiding, and he was cautious and cunning. But this time he took the initiative to kidnap Feng Nan and revealed his whereabouts.
The Pei family has already found out how he went to Hong Kong, and it is only a matter of time before they track him down.
But Feng Nan’s life or death cannot be guaranteed, but Pei Yi doesn’t care.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. What happened that year will never happen again." He has been waiting until now without sleeping, and he knew that Jiang Se would call him.
She clutched the phone, and could hear the sound of blood rushing through her body and the rapid beating of her heart.
She believed Pei Yi's words and knew that he could do what he said. He said that the Pei family would send people to track down Jiang Zhiyuan and kill him if they found him, and would not let him hurt himself. Jiang Se believed that he would do it.
But for some reason, she felt very heavy in her heart when she heard this.
"Ayi, Ayi, no, no." She felt like crying. She thought that after hearing that something bad had happened to Jiang Zhiyuan, the man who had once brought her great harm and shadow, she should be relieved and able to rest easy from then on. But that was not the case.
Maybe it was because of her rebirth, maybe it was because she occupied the body of Jiang Zhiyuan's daughter, maybe it was because Jiang Zhiyuan kidnapped Feng Nan for her, wanting to remove the "obstacle" for her.
Whatever the reason, she couldn't feel at ease.
She covered her eyes, but still felt her eyelids sore and swollen. Tears were rolling in her eye sockets, seeping out from between her tightly closed eyes bit by bit.
"Why did he kidnap Feng Nan? Was it because of me?"
Pei Yi didn't expect her to say that. She was so smart that she could have guessed it even if he didn't say it.
"Ayi, I don't want this." Her mind was in a mess and her speech was incoherent, but Pei Yi knew her too well. She might not understand her inner feelings herself, but he could still figure out what she was thinking at the moment from these few words.
Under her cold appearance, she actually has a very soft and warm heart. Her personality will not allow her to turn around and talk about her "revenge" against Jiang Zhiyuan after "taking possession" of Jiang Se's body.
Regardless of whether this rebirth is what she wanted, since she has obtained it, she should also shoulder the corresponding responsibilities and obligations. This can be seen from the way she treats Du Changqun's family and takes care of Zhou Hui.
Pei Yi's eyes were gentle. His girl, no matter her appearance, identity, status, and name had changed, but her heart had never changed.
"But if we don't do this, he might hurt your Sese in the future." He whispered softly, but in fact his heart was as hard as a rock, and he was not moved by her words at all.
She can stick to her principles, and he can do these unprincipled things for her.
In his heart, she is the most important. He doesn't care about principles or reasons as long as Jiang Se is fine.
"Don't think too much. After all, the person hasn't been found yet. Let's talk about it after we find him." He gently comforted Jiang Se, but in his heart he was thinking about how to find Jiang Zhiyuan.
Jiang Se nodded and listened to him comforting her a few more words. He told her to go to bed early and not to put too much psychological burden on herself. He talked for a long time before hanging up the phone.
The phone had become a little hot from being held in Jiang Se's hand because he had been talking on the phone for so long. Jiang Se stared at the screen, completely awake.
Pei Yi understood her, and she also understood Pei Yi.
They couldn't find Jiang Zhiyuan and said that he had quit his job long ago and changed his cell phone number and address. No one knew his contact information, so their whereabouts could not be traced for the time being.
But Jiang Se didn't know why, but he remembered something.
More than a year ago, before the release of "Salvation of God", she went to the United States to promote and participate in the "Centennial Filmmakers" celebration event. She received a call from an unknown person. The caller remained silent at the time.
She kept this matter in her heart and never told anyone.
This cell phone number of hers is her private number and not many people know it. Pei Yi has handled it for her. If you don't know her number, the possibility of randomly dialing her cell phone is very low.
At that time, she doubted the identity of the person who called. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally did not verify it. However, she subconsciously saved this strange number.
Calculating the time, from the information about Jiang Zhiyuan mentioned by Feng Zhongliang and Pei Yi, the time when he resigned and hid was mentioned, which is almost the same as this time.
She hesitated for a while, slid her finger across the screen, and found the phone number she had saved. In fact, she had already memorized the string of numbers on it.
Over the past year or so, she would sometimes look up the phone number and try to guess the identity of the person who called that night.
Jiang Zhiyuan, is this you
Her finger moved to the phone number several times, wanting to click on it, but always hesitated.
Jiang Se herself didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, the person who had traumatized her in the past, the person who made her afraid and avoided him as much as possible, would one day make her want to contact him actively.
The arrangement of fate is always so clever. The bandit leader who kidnapped her would become her "father" many years later and exist in her life in another way.
Once you dial this number, there's no going back.
Grandpa had explained the situation very clearly to her on the phone tonight. Jiang Zhiyuan kidnapped Feng Nan. Feng Nan knew that she was not the real 'Jiang Se' and she was resentful of her. If she guessed that she was 'Feng Nan' and fell into Jiang Zhiyuan's hands, she would tell Jiang Zhiyuan about the situation in order to protect herself. What consequences would this call bring
What would Jiang Zhiyuan do if he knew that the child he kidnapped and almost killed would one day become his "daughter"
As Jiang Se thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh.
Grandpa told her to be careful, Pei Yi told her not to worry. She took a deep breath, dialed the number, rubbed her fingertips on the screen for a long time, thought about it, and dialed it.
Feng Nan is still in his hands, and it is unknown whether he is dead or alive.
Although her grandfather didn't say anything when he called, she knew in her heart what Feng Zhongliang was thinking.
Although he values family ties more than blood ties, Feng Nan is still his granddaughter and has Feng family blood flowing in her body. He may not be close to her or pay attention to her, but he also does not want anything to happen to Feng Nan.
She didn't want her grandfather to be sad. Although Feng Nan had caused her trouble and was a threat, she also wanted Feng Nan to be alive.
She almost died at the hands of Jiang Zhiyuan back then, and now she doesn't want Jiang Zhiyuan to do anything extreme because of her.
After making the call, she was nervous, fearing that her guess was wrong.
Jiang Se had never felt that time was so unbearable. In the two seconds when the phone was dialed, she thought a lot.
I wondered if my previous guess was wrong. Maybe the call more than a year ago was not from Jiang Zhiyuan. Maybe someone really just dialed the wrong number.
He also suspected that the phone might be from Jiang Zhiyuan, and was afraid that after such a long time, this cautious man might have changed his number long ago.
Both Feng Zhongliang and Pei Yi said that he was as cunning as a fox and never contacted anyone. The mobile phone number he used before was the kind that had not been registered for identity proof and he changed it very quickly.
She thought about it for a long time, her heart beating slowly from "boom, boom, boom" at the beginning to a rapid "boom, boom, boom, boom..." and it was getting more and more urgent. Finally, the call was connected.
'Beep...'
When the first phone alert sounded, Jiang Se's hair stood on end and goose bumps appeared on her arms. The heater in the room could not stop the cold current that started from her feet and raged through her body.
'Beep...' The phone started to ring for the second time, but the person on the other end of the line hadn't answered yet.
She began to wonder if the person on the other end of the line was Jiang Zhiyuan. If so, did he know that the call was from her? If he knew everything, would he answer her call? What should he say after the call was connected, and what should she say
She was extremely nervous and her heart was pounding.
She didn't know how many times the phone alert sounded. She was nervous at first, then uneasy, and even a little disappointed that she might have guessed wrong. Suddenly, the phone screen, which had been dark, lit up, and the call that was indicated as being dialed was connected immediately.
The beeping sound stopped abruptly, and was replaced by an extremely quiet silence.
The phone had already started counting the minutes and seconds of the call. Jiang Se took a few glances and confirmed that it was the person on the other end of the phone who picked up the call.
The people on both ends of the phone were silent, and time was passing by minute by minute. At this moment, Jiang Se felt a huge pressure pressing towards her from all directions, making the air around her thin and making her feel like she couldn't breathe.
Her hands were shaking and the rapidly flowing blood in her body made her body cold. Under the light of the hotel room, fine dust was surging in the air.
The person on the other end did not hang up the phone, which undoubtedly provided further evidence for Jiang Se's guess.
She took a deep breath, licked the corner of her mouth, and thought about how to open the mouth. Finally, she said:
"I am Jiang Se." (To be continued)
