With the broadcast of the preview for "Spicy Mother-in-Law," Song Qinian gained some popularity and it was revealed she was the original author of "Call Me Queen."
It was then that everyone realized Gu Zhiyan had taken on this script entirely for her daughter-in-law.
Song Qinian, however, was unaffected by the online commentary, possibly due to the protective shield of Gu Zhiyan and Shen Chi'an. No one harassed her in her private life.
After a few days of rest, Song Qinian began her own creative work.
One day, Song Qinian received a call from Mu Yuxin. On the other end, Mu Yuxin sounded on the verge of tears, "Niannian, Qiaoqiao is gone. I can't find her."
Song Qinian was taken aback. Qiaoqiao was so sensible and wouldn't wander off with strangers. How could she be missing?
"Yuxin, tell me slowly, don't rush."
"When I went to pick up Qiaoqiao tonight, the teacher told me Qiaoqiao had been picked up. I asked the teacher who it was, but she couldn't say. She just said it was a very handsome man, and Qiaoqiao said she knew the man, so the teacher let him take her. Later, when I called Qiaoqiao's smartwatch, it was turned off. Qiaoqiao is gone."
Song Qinian frowned, "Did you check the surveillance?"
"The surveillance from that period has been tampered with. It's impossible for someone to have taken Qiaoqiao without the surveillance malfunctioning; it must have been intentionally damaged by that person. The other party hasn't contacted me, and I'm really afraid Qiaoqiao is in danger."
"Don't worry, I'll call Shen Chi'an."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up, Song Qinian immediately called Shen Chi'an. Since they had celebrated Gong Yuqi's birthday, Shen Chi'an hadn't appeared before Song Qinian for two days.
The call rang for a while before Shen Chi'an finally picked up, "Wow, how rare. You're actually calling me proactively."
"Shen Chi'an, Qiaoqiao is missing. Yuxin is crying her eyes out. Can you help find Qiaoqiao?"
Song Qinian then told Shen Chi'an about the tampered surveillance. After listening, Shen Chi'an didn't agree immediately and instead asked, "If I help you, how do you plan to thank me?"
Song Qinian: "..."
At a time like this, this guy was still thinking about "thanks."
"Whatever you say, as long as Qiaoqiao is found!"
"You said it. Don't go back on your word. Wait for my call!"
After the call with Shen Chi'an, Song Qinian called Mu Yuxin again. To her surprise, Mu Yuxin's line was busy. After waiting for a while, she received a call back from Mu Yuxin.
"Yuxin, Shen Chi'an has agreed to help us find Qiaoqiao. Where are you? I'll come to you."
"No need. I know where Qiaoqiao is. The person who took her has contacted me!"
Song Qinian was stunned. "Who? What does the other party want?"
Mu Yuxin suddenly let out a laugh. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. It's just... what's coming will eventually come."
With that, Mu Yuxin hung up. When Song Qinian tried to call back, she no longer answered.
Song Qinian felt that Mu Yuxin's laugh was not right. And what did she mean by "what's coming will eventually come"?
Before Song Qinian could figure it out, she received a call from Shen Chi'an.
Song Qinian quickly answered, "Any news about Qiaoqiao? Where is she?"
Shen Chi'an: "She was taken by Guan Yang."
Hearing the name 'Guan Yang' for the first time, Song Qinian paused for a few seconds before remembering that Guan Yang was Guan Mingxu's older brother and Mu Yuxin's ex-boyfriend who was in prison.
He was out?
Back then, Guan Mingxu had said that Guan Yang wouldn't have gone to prison if it weren't for Mu Yuxin. Now that Guan Yang was out of prison, would he want to see Mu Yuxin and get revenge?
The more Song Qinian thought about it, the more uneasy she became, so she called Guan Mingxu.
Guan Mingxu was overjoyed to receive Song Qinian's call. However, upon hearing that Guan Yang had taken Qiaoqiao, he worried that something might happen. He immediately found out Guan Yang's location and then met up with Song Qinian to go to Guan Yang's villa.
For Guan Yang's prison release party today, Mu Yuxin arrived at the address Guan Yang had given and heard deafening music and the sounds of men and women carousing.
Mu Yuxin clenched her fists tightly, her heart a mess of anxiety and nervousness.
She didn't know when Guan Yang had been released from prison. For years, she visited him every month, but he never saw her.
After so many years apart, she didn't know what he looked like now.
She was both looking forward to seeing him and afraid to see him.
Guan Yang must have hated her. Sending Qiaoqiao away might just be a way to find her and take revenge.
Mu Yuxin took a deep breath. It wasn't just Guan Yang's house; even if it were a dragon's den, she had to go in for Qiaoqiao's sake.
When Mu Yuxin reached the villa entrance, she was stopped by a bodyguard in a black suit and sunglasses. "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, my name is Mu Yuxin, and I'm here to see Guan Yang!"
Guan Yang had likely given prior instructions. As soon as the bodyguard heard her name, he directly led her into the villa.
The moment Mu Yuxin stepped inside, she was stunned by the scene before her.
There was a large swimming pool inside the villa, with several stands around it. The stands held red wine, food, and many flowers and lights.
Around the pool were women in sexy bikinis and men wearing only swim trunks.
Some were swimming in the pool, displaying their graceful and sexy figures.
Others stood in small groups, drinking and chatting, occasionally kissing each other.
Some were kissing passionately in the pool, as if a scene not suitable for children was about to unfold.
It would not be an exaggeration to call this a modern version of a pool of wine and a forest of meat.
Mu Yuxin's brows furrowed deeply. She had no interest in what those people were doing; finding Qiaoqiao was the most important thing.
She was wearing a black t-shirt and black casual pants. As soon as she walked in, she seemed like an alien intrusion, and all eyes turned to her.
"Where did this bumpkin come from? Today is the day to celebrate Second Master Guan's release from prison. What does she mean by coming in all black? Bad luck!"
"She's deliberately looking for trouble, isn't she? What's with the guards at the door? How did they let someone like this in?"
Hearing the murmurs of discussion, Mu Yuxin looked down and realized she was wearing all black.
But she couldn't care less now. Finding Qiaoqiao was the priority.
Just then, Mu Yuxin finally spotted Guan Yang on a red leather sofa in the center of the swimming pool.
Her heart skipped a beat at that moment.
His appearance seemed unchanged; she recognized him at a glance, yet he also seemed to have changed a lot.
His hair was cut short, his skin was much darker than before, his features were more defined, but he was still breathtakingly handsome.
Unlike everyone else wearing only swimsuits or swim trunks, he wore a red shirt, the collar unbuttoned low, revealing his sexy, muscular chest and the two points on his chest.
