After Meng Jingwei left the hotel, she called Lu Sen. "I know where Su Meiyi is. I can help you rescue her, but you have to give me a few people."
"Did that woman offend someone again and is being retaliated against?"
Based on Lu Sen's understanding of Su Meiyi, it was likely her incessantly difficult mouth that had offended someone, leading to her kidnapping and manipulation.
While he didn't like Su Meiyi, she was now gaining fame and could still create value and profit for the company, so her personal safety was naturally a concern.
"...Something like that." Meng Jingwei sighed almost imperceptibly.
Her voice was very soft, but Lu Sen on the other end of the line heard it clearly. He frowned, raised a hand, and brushed his short blonde hair. "Did Qing Muye do this?"
Combining the events of the past two days, Lu Sen made a bold guess.
He guessed correctly, and Meng Jingwei had to admit, "It's all her own stupidity, being used without even realizing it."
"What's the situation?"
"I had an accident on the film set that day, and then..." Meng Jingwei explained in detail to Lu Sen what had happened that day over the phone, and then continued, "I plan to rescue Su Meiyi now. However, I need your people to help me put on a show."
"How do we act?" Lu Sen didn't know what Meng Jingwei was planning, but he would cooperate with her fully.
On the phone, Meng Jingwei told Lu Sen her idea. Lu Sen naturally agreed and arranged four people for her.
After everyone had departed, Meng Jingwei called Qing Muye.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The phone rang a few times, and no one answered.
Just as she was about to call again, her mobile phone rang, and Qing Muye's number flashed on the screen.
She immediately answered the call, "A Ye?"
"Why are you not asleep so late?" His voice was gentle and concerned on the other end, though it sounded somewhat tired.
Meng Jingwei didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm on my way to Lishan Slope."
"Why are you going to Lishan Slope?"
"Su Meiyi was taken there by your people." She paused, then continued, "I'm bringing people over to 'rescue' her. Later, ask your people to cooperate and don't make it too obvious when they let Su Meiyi go."
"Why let her go?"
"Her crime..." Meng Jingwei wanted to say that Su Meiyi 'didn't deserve to die,' but if she said that, Qing Muye might think she considered Tang Wanxing the culprit of her kidnapping this time. So, she changed her words, "She's an artist under Lu Sen. I owed Lu Sen a favor before, so this is considered repaying that favor."
Although Qing Muye didn't know what 'favor' Meng Jingwei was referring to, he could only nod and agree, "Okay, I'll pass the word down."
"Okay, thanks." Meng Jingwei said and hung up the phone.
At this moment, on the other end of the line, Qing Muye held his phone, his lips slightly parted, some words reaching his mouth before he swallowed them back down.
She said, 'Thanks.'
For some reason, upon hearing these two words, Qing Muye's heart suddenly ached. It felt as if an invisible gap was widening between them, making them feel a bit estranged.
Meng Jingwei arranged for several people to go to Lishan Slope and borrowed two cars from Lu Sen. On the way, she instructed the four people, and then stopped halfway to wait for them.
The four people went to Lishan Slope and found Su Meiyi in a dilapidated old house where she was being held captive by some people.
The group feigned a fight with Qing Muye's four bodyguards and successfully rescued Su Meiyi.
Su Meiyi trembled, her face pale. Supported by a few thugs, she got into the car and drove away.
