Yan Zhuoyu felt weak and sore all over, as if she had been anesthetized. She could only vaguely sense that she was being dragged forward, and her exposed arms were painfully rubbed against the rough ground.
In the dimly lit tunnel, a series of hurried and heavy footsteps gradually approached, accompanied by the dull thud of wheels rolling.
In a daze, Chen Tianming suddenly let go of her hand, and Yan Zhuoyu's legs fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a layer of dust.
"You, quickly get her inside, lock the doors and windows, light the charcoal brazier, take a picture and send it to me. I have to leave now, and I'll send someone to replace you later."
"Okay...okay, Brother Zhou," the man replied, his voice trembling.
Subsequently, Yan Zhuoyu was roughly lifted onto a small cart, and her consciousness became even more blurred as she was jostled around.
Who is Brother Zhou? Didn't Pei Weijin say his name was Chen Tianming?
Yan Zhuoyu only remembered one person surnamed Zhou among the people she knew, but that person was already imprisoned, and many other people related to this matter had also been taken into custody by the police.
Apart from those who escaped overseas.
Also, why is Chen Tianming's face so swollen...?
Whether the person pushing the cart was too flustered or impatient, their movements were rough. As they passed the corner, Yan Zhuoyu's body swayed, and her head hit the corner of the wall.
After cursing, he moved the person back and continued transporting them.
Yan Zhuoyu lost consciousness completely after being hit.
The tunnel is long and winding, ending far from the village, and it was clearly not built in just a day or two.
The man strapped her to a chair, her hands and feet tightly bound with ropes, rendering her unable to move and giving her no chance to escape.
With the combined action of five charcoal braziers and a stove, the already stuffy wooden cabin was filled with waves of heat.
Once everything was done, the man took a picture of Yan Zhuoyu, hurriedly left, and locked the door tightly behind him.
As I sat in the car, my back was already soaked with sweat.
Brother Zhou sat in the passenger seat and looked at him through the rearview mirror.
“Ah Cai, what’s the panic? It’s just dealing with one person, no blood has been drawn. Compared to the shady dealings you did with my older brother before, this is nothing.”
Qian Youcai pulled a tissue from the pocket behind his seat and wiped his sweat haphazardly.
"No, Brother Zhou, I was choked by the heat and the smell of cheap charcoal inside."
Zhou Huai'an scoffed, looked away, and said coldly, "Then bear with it. We have a mission tonight, and Chen Tianming needs to be dealt with as well."
Upon hearing this, Qian Youcai's expression changed, and he hesitated before speaking: "Brother Zhou... didn't you promise him that you would spare his life after borrowing his identity? Chen Tianming has nothing to do with this matter, and he has not provoked you, Brother Zhou."
Brother Zhou's face darkened instantly, his voice low and dangerous: "Sympathize with him? Then you might as well die with him."
"If I let him go, then what do you think was the point of all the trouble I, Zhou Huai'an, went through to look like him?"
Qian Youcai was so frightened that he trembled and immediately shut his mouth.
Zhou Huai'an sneered: "Remember, I am Chen Tianming now, don't call me that again."
Qian Youcai quickly sent the photos on his phone to Zhou Huai'an and tentatively asked, "Brother Chen, should we send these photos to Pei Weijin to threaten and torture him?"
"?"
Zhou Huai'an glanced at him, his eyes full of mockery: "Do you think I'm kind, or do you think I'm stupid?"
“Pei Weijin got my older brother imprisoned, and almost everyone in the Zhou family was affected. I could have returned to the Zhou family as the rightful third young master and inherited the company if I had just waited another year. He ruined everything for me!”
"Send him the photos? You want him to follow the clues to your door and rescue the person?"
Zhou Huai'an admired the photo and said softly, "He should also know what it feels like to lose everything."
He turned to Qian Youcai and said, "Ah Cai, once everything is over, I'll take you back to Italy to start over, how about that?"
Qian Youcai looked flustered: "Okay, Brother Chen."
Zhou Huai'an turned off his phone and signaled the driver to speed up: "Heh, when I revive the Zhou family, my father will definitely appreciate me. At that time, I, the illegitimate son whom he despises, will be the only person in charge of the Zhou family."

After confirming Yan Zhuoyu's disappearance, the female bodyguard quickly assembled all the bodyguards and immediately informed Pei Weijin of the situation.
The male bodyguard who was staking out the corridor answered with certainty: "Third Brother and I take turns keeping watch. Apart from Fan Wenran and you guys, no one else has entered or left Miss Yan's room, including during filming."
Although Tan Wenbo was shocked that all of these people were bodyguards hired by Yan Zhuoyu, at this moment, he was more concerned about the disappearance of the actors in the film crew.
He paced anxiously back and forth: "What do we do now? They can't leave this hotel anyway. Our crew has already blocked the exits. Should we seal off the village as well?"
While the female bodyguard was contacting Pei Weijin and receiving a reply, her colleague who was prying open the door had already violently broken open the hidden door.
Inside, dust filled the air, and discarded cleaning tools were piled up in the corner, clearly unused for a long time.
Third Brother squatted down and carefully examined the area with a flashlight: "Sister Cen, this is an abandoned tool shed. There are recent footprints on the ground."
Before the female bodyguard could reply, the sound of slippers slapping the floor came from the other end of the hallway.
The hotel owner stormed over, yelling, "What are you trying to do?!"
"Why are you closing my shop? Are you police or robbers?!"
Tan Wenbo retorted without hesitation: "Our actors have disappeared while we're investigating the criminals, and you're already blaming us. I haven't even said you're colluding with the criminals!"
"Making such a fuss, are your lives so precious? Are you trying to scare away our customers? You've scared them all away!"
The hotel owner became even more furious: "This is a violation of human rights, it's a crime!"
Boss Cen narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, grabbed the boss's wrists, and pushed him to the front of the hidden door: "Criminal? Don't worry, no one here can escape. We'll help you keep them here."
"Explain to me what's going on with this door!"
The boss cried out in pain, "It's just an abandoned tool shed, I'd completely forgotten about it."
At this moment, a bodyguard returned from the monitoring room: "Boss, we checked the surveillance footage. This door leads to the small kitchen on the first floor. Only Li Xumin has been in and out of there. He has been apprehended, but Miss Yan has not been found."
Cen Laoda sent the location information to his third brother: "The boss said Miss Yan's location is outside the village. You take a small team to find her."
Third Brother quickly organized a small team and set off.
The bodyguard who remained asked, "Boss, what should we do? Continue guarding the hotel, or interrogate Li Xumin and his gang?"
Boss Cen held up his phone and said casually, "Oh, the boss wants us to demolish the building and get to the bottom of this, so that no more innocent tourists will suddenly disappear in the future."
Hotel owner: "!!!"
Well, the truth has come to light! Tear the house down, and we'll find the person!
