Meng Jingwei opened the car door and got out, standing by the roadside.
Antina skillfully steered the wheel, executing a perfect drift as she sped away like lightning.
In her pocket, her phone rang incessantly.
Inside the castle, with no signal, Meng Jingwei had kept her phone turned off.
As soon as she got out of the car, she turned it on, and it had been vibrating non-stop ever since.
She took out her phone and saw that Song Ci was calling.
"Miss Meng, why is your phone going through? Where are you now?"
It was likely that Song Ci had set up a program on his phone, which would notify him when she received his messages.
Therefore, Song Ci had called her immediately.
"Antina has safely brought me out," Meng Jingwei told him truthfully.
"Antina alone?"
"Yes."
"Where is she? We'll go and intercept her now. With her as leverage, we can definitely save the boss." Song Ci was calculating.
Meng Jingwei had naturally considered this possibility.
Although she wasn't a person of high morals, she didn't want to be ungrateful.
She was very grateful to Antina for risking her safety to bring her out.
If she were to betray Antina now and let Song Ci kidnap her, it would appear quite despicable.
"Say something! My brother is still inside. I don't even know if he's alive or dead!"
Anyone who had been with Qing Muye for many years would be a steady person.
At this moment, Song Ci was losing his composure.
His reminder made Meng Jingwei think of Song Jun, who was being badly tortured.
Finally, reason triumphed over emotion. "I'll send you my location."
After hanging up, Meng Jingwei immediately sent Song Ci her location and the license plate number.
Meng Jingwei paid close attention to details, having memorized Antina's license plate number when she got into the car.
With the location, Song Ci could intercept Antina by waiting along the route to the castle.
As Meng Jingwei moved away from the road, she used her phone to call Tang Si.
It was daytime in Lancheng.
When Meng Jingwei called, Tang Si was a bit surprised, "Wow, why is the little firecracker bothering to call me..."
"Send me Yun Shasha's phone number."
"Yun Shasha? What do you need her number for?"
"Stop the nonsense and hurry up. Also, top up my phone with five hundred yuan." Meng Jingwei snapped back rudely and hung up.
A moment later, Tang Si sent Yun Shasha's phone number.
At the same time, a message from the mobile carrier showed that the five-hundred-yuan top-up had arrived.
Meng Jingwei immediately called Yun Shasha.
Ring, ring, ring—
The phone rang three times, and Yun Shasha answered, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Meng Jingwei."
"You, why are you calling me?" The call came unexpectedly, and Yun Shasha was a bit surprised.
"I'm asking you, why did Qing Muye pretend to be in a relationship with you to force me to break up?" she questioned directly.
Yun Shasha's mind buzzed. She hadn't expected Meng Jingwei to find out so quickly.
But she didn't want to admit it and shook her head, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You don't know? Then listen carefully." Meng Jingwei quickened her pace, running as she spoke to Yun Shasha, "Qing Muye is in Country C, he's been kidnapped, along with Song Jun. We just got news that Song Jun is already dead. And they kidnapped Qing Muye because of me, wanting to investigate my unknown past. If you don't tell me now, I won't know how to save him. If he dies, you'll never see him again in this lifetime."
Women are always emotional.
Yun Shasha liked Qing Muye and naturally worried about him greatly.
She had just heard about Qing Muye's situation in Country C and was preparing to rush there when she received Meng Jingwei's call.
"I... I..."
She stammered, hesitant.
"Still not going to say? Fine, if you don't, I'll hang up. As for Qing Muye, I don't care anymore. Whether he lives or dies, it has nothing to do with me."
Saying this, Meng Jingwei truly prepared to hang up.
But at that moment, Yun Shasha immediately said, "I really don't know what your identity is, but Muye asked me to come back from Country C and said to put on a show in front of you, to make you misunderstand and then break up."
"Why did you have to break up?"
"I don't know either. But I can feel that he likes you very much." Yun Shasha clutched her phone tightly, "Meng Jingwei, Muye did a lot for you. You must save him no matter what. Otherwise, I won't let you off."
Because Meng Jingwei kept running, Yun Shasha could hear her gasping through the phone.
Yun Shasha didn't suspect anything.
"Got it."
Meng Jingwei hung up the phone, slowly reduced her pace, and looked back while holding her phone.
Because it was late at night, there were no vehicles on the road. Meng Jingwei feared being discovered and had to run into the dense woods.
Panting heavily, she leaned against a tree trunk to rest for a moment before calling Old Chen.
"You little brat, you still remember to call me? I thought you thought your old man was dead."
Old Chen sounded both angry and annoyed on the phone.
"Old Chen, Qing Muye has been kidnapped."
She had informed Old Chen when she came to Country C, so Old Chen wasn't surprised.
When Meng Jingwei mentioned Qing Muye being kidnapped, the other party fell silent for a while.
"If I'm not mistaken, his kidnapping is related to me."
Meng Jingwei wasn't very sure if it was related or not.
However, from the reactions of everyone at the castle, Meng Jingwei felt that this matter was very strange, with a turbulent undercurrent.
"Hmph, he was kidnapped because he offended many people. What does he have to do with a young girl like you?" Old Chen scoffed, not telling the truth.
"I was also kidnapped. Coincidentally, I met Xiao Cheng here. Xiao Cheng has feelings for me, and his girlfriend, fearing we would rekindle our old flame, quietly let me go."
Meng Jingwei took a deep breath, "Also, Li Yun'er is not dead, you probably know that too."
Meng Jingwei had discovered too many things during this trip to Country C.
Although these matters seemed to have no direct connection, when pieced together, they made her suspect terrifying things.
Her intuition told her that she must have an unspeakable identity and background.
Otherwise, how could an ordinary person go through so many life-and-death situations and still survive each time?
Especially Li Fu'an and Zhao Ruolan.
Their past displays of aversion and hatred towards her were too obvious. Even if Li Yun'er was talented and beautiful, her appearance wouldn't steal all of Li Yun'er's glory, yet the Li family wanted to get rid of her.
But in the end, Li Yun'er died, Li Zirui went missing, and the Li family's reaction was overly calm.
This was the most bizarre part.
Meng Jingwei didn't know if her thoughts were correct, but she felt there was a connection.
"If you don't tell me, then I'll trade my life for Qing Muye's!" Meng Jingwei played her trump card, threatening Old Chen, "You should know that I always keep my word."
