Chapter 1161 Sophie
Chapter 1161 Sophie
"Damn it!" Cheng Yunchuan slammed the steering wheel hard, his heart full of regret. He hated himself for not discovering the woman's trick earlier, and hated himself for not explaining it to Jiang Mubai in time. He regretted why he agreed to meet the woman, even if it was just out of courtesy, he shouldn't have given her any chance to take advantage of him.
At this moment, Cheng Yunchuan's phone rang. It was Lin Wan calling. "Yunchuan, have you found Mu Bai?" Lin Wan's voice was full of worry.
"No, Mom, I can't find her." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was full of fatigue and despair.
"Calm down, Yunchuan." Lin Wan comforted, "Mubai is a smart girl, she will be fine. Think about it again, where else could she go?"
Cheng Yunchuan tried to calm himself down and thought carefully about what Jiang Mubai had said and done. Suddenly, he remembered that Jiang Mubai had mentioned that when he was in a bad mood, he would go to a bar called "Lost".
"Mom, I know where she might be!" Cheng Yunchuan said hurriedly, "I'll go find her right now!"
He hung up the phone, started the car immediately and drove towards the "Lost" bar.
In the bar, Jiang Mubai had drunk a lot of wine, her face was flushed and her eyes were blurry. The man was still chattering beside her, trying to attract her attention.
"Beauty, you are so beautiful, more beautiful than those stars." The man said, and reached out to touch Jiang Mubai's face.
Jiang Mubai grabbed his hand and twisted it hard, "I told you, don't touch me!"
The man cried out in pain and quickly retracted his hand, with a flash of anger in his eyes, "You stinky bitch, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty!"
He grabbed Jiang Mubai's hair and pulled her back fiercely. Jiang Mubai screamed in pain, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
At this moment, the door of the bar was pushed open, and Cheng Yunchuan rushed in. He saw Jiang Mubai being bullied by a man at a glance, and anger instantly surged in his heart.
"Let her go!" Cheng Yunchuan roared, rushed forward and punched the man in the face.
The man staggered a few steps after being hit, covered his face, and glared at Cheng Yunchuan fiercely, "Who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in my business!"
Cheng Yunchuan ignored him and pulled Jiang Mubai behind him, holding her tightly in his arms. He looked down at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of heartache and self-blame. "Mubai, are you okay?"
Jiang Mubai raised her head and looked at him with a dazed look. Suddenly, she pushed him away and said in a cold tone, "What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to react like this. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know what to say.
Just then, the bar's security guard came over and asked, "What's going on?"
The man who was beaten pointed at Cheng Yunchuan and shouted, "This kid beat people! Catch him!"
The security guard glanced at Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai, then at the broken glass and spilled wine on the ground, and said in a serious tone: "You two, please come with us."
Cheng Yunchuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Mubai. "Let's go." Jiang Mubai said calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Cheng Yunchuan sighed helplessly and followed the security guard out. He didn't know what would happen next, but he knew that things between him and Jiang Mubai would probably never go back to the way they were before.
Walking out of the bar, the biting cold wind instantly sobered Jiang Mubai up a bit. She looked at the unfamiliar street in front of her and suddenly felt confused.
"Where are you going?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice sounded behind her.
Jiang Mubai didn't answer, but just walked forward silently.
Cheng Yunchuan followed her without saying a word. The two walked in silence, as if they were two strangers.
Suddenly, Jiang Mubai stopped, turned around, and looked at Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Cheng Yunchuan," she said slowly, "we..."
"Stop talking." Cheng Yunchuan interrupted her, his voice low, "I know what you want to say."
He took out a small exquisite box from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Mubai, "This, I originally wanted to..."
He paused and didn't continue, "Now, give it to you."
Jiang Mubai looked at the box in his hand, neither taking it nor refusing it.
"Open it and take a look." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
Jiang Mubai slowly opened the box, and inside was a dazzling diamond ring. Under the illumination of the street lamp, the diamond shone with dazzling light, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Jiang Mubai looked at the diamond ring with mixed feelings. She didn't know what to say or what to do.
"I..." She began to speak, but was interrupted by a sharp brake sound.
A black car suddenly stopped in front of them. Several men in black got out of the car and forced Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai into the car without explanation...
The car was dimly lit, and filled with a disgusting smell of leather and cheap cigarettes. Jiang Mubai was roughly pushed down on the seat, her head hitting the car window, and she felt dizzy. She tried to open her eyes and saw Cheng Yunchuan, who was also handcuffed behind his back, sitting opposite her with a gloomy face.
"Cheng Yunchuan, what are we doing..." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled a little, and fear surged into his heart like a tide.
Cheng Yunchuan shook his head, signaling her not to speak. His sharp eyes swept over the black-clad men in the car, trying to find a chance for escape.
The car sped along and finally stopped at the gate of an abandoned factory. Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan were dragged out of the car and pushed into the factory.
In the empty factory, dim lights flickered, and the air was filled with the smell of dust and rust. A burly man sat behind a shabby desk, holding a cigar in his hand and puffing out smoke.
"You're finally here." The man spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against glass.
Cheng Yunchuan looked at him coldly, "Who are you? Why did you arrest us?"
The man laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you offended someone you shouldn't have offended."
"Who did we offend?" Jiang Mubai couldn't help but ask. She tried to stay calm, but her voice still trembled slightly.
The man blew out a puff of smoke and looked at her with a playful look in his eyes. "Ms. Jiang, you are a noble person who forgets things easily. Think about it, have you stolen someone's limelight recently?"
Jiang Mubai's heart trembled, and a name flashed in her mind - Sophie. She was a new star in the entertainment industry, and she was very popular recently. Jiang Mubai and her were competing for the same endorsement. Could it be her?
"Sophie?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was cold, with a hint of danger.
The man didn't answer, but just clapped his hands. Two men in black immediately stepped forward and tied Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan to two pillars.
