Chapter 431
He took a deep breath and threw his dead phone on the seat beside him. He wiped his face with both hands and analyzed the reason for Feng Zhongliang’s call.
He remembered that Feng Zhongliang had mentioned Jiang Zhiyuan before. Feng Zhongliang had been through a lot in his life, and he would not lose his composure so easily.
But on the phone, he was so excited that his voice was trembling. It was obvious that something important had happened.
“Jiang Zhiyuan, Jiang Zhiyuan!” He repeated the name twice in his heart and tried his best to connect this person to the Feng family.
PEI Yi was well aware of the relatives that the Feng family had. He had also found out about the people in Feng Nan’s family during the few years that he had been pursuing her.
He had no impression of the name ‘Jiang Zhiyuan’ among the people who were related to the Feng family. Obviously, he was not a relative of the Feng family.
The car sped along the highway. For some reason, PEI Yi recalled that a few months ago, Jiang se had called him and mentioned her kidnapping.
She rarely took the initiative to call him. She was a passive and introverted person and was not an enthusiastic person. When she called him, PEI Yi was pleasantly surprised, especially when she mentioned the kidnapping case when she was young. It was even more unforgettable.
PEI Yi learned more details about her kidnapping when she was young. He had asked Jiang se the name of the kidnapper. He remembered that Jiang se had once mentioned that Feng Zhongliang had ordered the Feng family not to mention the incident to her in order to protect her. After the incident, he only vaguely remembered that the leader of the kidnappers had the surname Jiang. He was imprisoned in Hong Kong after being arrested.
Feng Zhongliang mentioned that Jiang Zhiyuan had been ‘released from prison’, and it was very likely that he was one of the kidnappers who had kidnapped Feng Nan back then. Feng Zhongliang even mentioned’ two months ago’, but unfortunately, his phone had run out of battery and turned off automatically.
If Jiang Zhiyuan was really the one who had kidnapped Feng Nan back then, he should have found ‘Feng Nan’ to vent his anger on after he was released from prison, even if he had already returned to the capital.
PEI Yi was curious about Feng Zhongliang’s reason for making the call. Was it because Feng Zhongliang was worried about ‘Feng Nan’s’ safety and knew that he used to love and care for Feng Nan, so he called PEI Yi immediately after knowing that Jiang Zhiyuan was released from prison. Was he hoping that PEI Yi would do something to keep an eye on Jiang Zhiyuan, or was there some other reason?
When Feng Zhongliang left the Army and went to Hong Kong to develop, his power in the imperial capital was not as strong as before, but his reputation and status were still there. Several big shots in the Army had some friendship with him in the past.
If he really cared about Feng Nan, he would have put his pride aside and asked someone to intercede on her behalf. This matter would not have been a big deal at all.
However, if that was the case, he did not even need to call him at all. He could solve this matter, especially in the past few years when he had a girlfriend and was on bad terms with ‘Feng Nan’. Under the circumstances where they had almost no contact, a person with Feng Zhongliang’s character would not do such a thing.
He would only remind her of this when it was related to Jiang se!
PEI Yi pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes. Assuming that his original guess had not changed, Jiang Zhiyuan was one of the kidnappers who had kidnapped Feng Nan. Now that he was released from prison, Feng Zhongliang’s reminder proved two things.
Either Jiang Zhiyuan had some sort of relationship with Jiang se, or Feng Zhongliang had already guessed that Jiang se was his granddaughter, Feng Nan.
Both possibilities were very likely. Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang se both had the Jiang surname. Moreover, in nie Dan’s investigation, the original Jiang se followed her mother Zhou Hui and remarried into the du family. There was no mention of her father’s relatives.
In the beginning, PEI Yi had only wanted information on her 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 pursue the matter further. It was only then that he felt a little regretful.
Now, both possibilities were possible, but he had to confirm them.
Now, he could only wait until he arrived at his destination, charge his phone, and call Feng Zhongliang to confirm.
Regardless of whether his guess was true or not, and whether Jiang Zhiyuan was the one who had kidnapped Feng Nan back then, he would not give this person a chance to hurt Jiang se.
He asked, ”
“How much longer until we reach new district town?”
They had been on the road for more than half an hour, and the driver could sense the anxiety hidden under the calm face of the guest. He carefully replied, ”
“There’s at most half an hour left.”
There was no traffic jam on the highway. New Jie town was not a tourist spot, so there were not many people.
In less than half an hour, PEI Yi saw the instructions for new Jie town.
Before he arrived, he had already memorized the name of the village where Jiang se would be filming. When the driver asked around and arrived at the village, it was not even 10 a. M. Yet.
The news that a film crew had come to the village had already spread in two days. Many people from the nearby villages had come over when they heard that a celebrity had come.
PEI Yi paid the fare and got out of the car. He effortlessly found out where Jiang se and the others were.
Many villagers were rushing up the mountain, and PEI Yi was among them. He was listening to the people around him chatting as he went up the mountain. He was not too late. The production team had only been here for two days, and they would only start filming today.
PEI Yi spent some time to break through the security guards and enter the filming location. When he found the room where Jiang se was filming, the scene had just entered when several kidnappers surrounded Jiang se and discussed how they were going to extort a ransom from the Tang family.
Jiang se was tied up and lying on the ground. She wriggled and struggled with great difficulty. Her hair was a little messy, and her expression was indescribably disheveled. Her eyes were filled with fear.
It was only now that Zhang Jingan realized why this girl had dared to ask the makeup artist to remove the foundation on her pale face. She had the confidence.
At this time, her face didn’t need the lighting technician’s extra lighting and post-editing, and it already showed an extremely terrifying bluish-white color, unlike the unnatural pale color when she had applied a thick Foundation. She seemed to be frightened, as if she had been really kidnapped.
Jiang SE’s performance was so realistic that Zhang Jingan could not even feel any trace of ‘acting’. He clutched his thigh and suppressed the satisfaction in his heart.
Daniel and the others were still reciting their lines. This tall and handsome foreign man was about 37 or 38 years old. His long brown curly hair was combed back, and his two thick eyebrows were above his eyes. His gaze was cold and ruthless, and he had a full beard.
His tall figure easily reminded Jiang se of the leader of the kidnappers in her memory. It gave her immense psychological pressure.
She was surrounded by malicious gazes, and she couldn’t tell if this was a movie or reality. She struggled to hide in a corner.
