Chapter 104: Evil Retribution for the Wicked
As a public figure, Gu Yu has naturally received a lot of attention now that there is such a big thing as kidnapping, and her name has been hung on the hot search for several days, and the crew hotel is also surrounded by reporters and media.
After dealing with Yue Linglong's affairs, Gu Yu entered the group again without delay for half a minute, and the crew's trip to Cloud City was forced to be postponed due to the camera's equipment, and they will set off after the end of these days.
Gu Yu is very popular in the crew, and after coming back, many people came around to greet her, she quickly swept through the crowd while talking to everyone, pulled one of the more familiar group performers, and asked, "Is Li Zi here today?"
Seeing that she actually took the initiative to talk to herself, the group of actors blushed, and hurriedly shook their heads and said, "Li Zi didn't come the day before yesterday, it seems that she is not feeling well." β
Gu Yan furrowed her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and smiled at her, "Okay, I know, thank you." β
But what made her feel strange was that Li Zi not only didn't come to the crew, but also didn't go on WeChat in the past two days. Gu Yan saw that she didn't reply to the message she sent her, so she couldn't help but be a little worried.
She knows Li Zi's character very well, on the surface, she seems to be a soft bun who does not fight or grab, but she is actually stronger than anyone else, and she usually reports good news and not bad news to the family, in case something happens......
Gu Yu thought about this in her heart, and took advantage of the filming break in the morning to send several messages to Li Zilian, but she didn't receive a reply.
Director Guo saw her absent-mindedness, thinking that she had not recovered after the kidnapping incident, so he let her finish work in advance, Gu Yu quickly rushed back to the hotel after thanking her repeatedly, changed into inconspicuous clothes and slipped out of the back door of the hotel.
She followed the place she remembered Li Zi had mentioned, it was a dilapidated residential building, the lighting was not good, it looked gloomy, the outer wall was full of cracks and dirt, and from time to time a few women's curses and children's howls came from the small window.
She stood outside and looked for a while, and saw an old man carrying a vegetable basket walking in from outside on crutches, so she took a few steps forward and asked politely: "This old gentleman, do you know a girl who looks twenty years old, so tall, a little thin, and has a very white face?"
The old man raised his cloudy eyes and looked at her, "Hmm", his voice was a little hoarse, "You mean plums, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Gu Yu was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, "Do you know which floor she lives on?"
The old man turned and pointed in the direction he had come, "You're looking for her, she's on the side of the street, I just saw her." β
"Thank you, old man!" Gu Yu thanked and walked out quickly, glancing quickly on the crowded street.
It wasn't long before she found the familiar petite figure.
Li Zi stood alone on the overpass not far away, his hand on the railing, and he looked at the speeding traffic below.
Gu Yu suddenly let out a "pop" in her heart, and suddenly a thought arose that even she couldn't believe: Can't Li Zi think about it, and want to commit suicide?
Thinking of this, she didn't dare to delay any longer, broke through the reverse flow of people, pulled her legs and ran towards Plum, got on the overpass at an incredible speed, and then stopped a few steps away from her, "Plum!"
Li Zi suddenly retracted his senses, turned his face to look at Gu Fei in surprise, and blinked suspiciously, "Sister Gu Yu... Why are you here?"
When she met her gaze, Gu Yan was stunned, and she asked cautiously, "Li Zi, are you okay?"
Li Zi smiled and lifted the bag in his other hand, "Sister Gu, you don't think I can't think about it, do you?" You think too much, I just passed by here to blow the wind, oh yes, I bought fresh crucian carp, if you want, go to my house tonight to try my handiwork?"
Gu Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and reached out to touch the top of her hair, "Of course I am willing, but the milk group is still waiting for me in the hotel, next time you invite me, I will bring it to the banquet together, how about it?"
Li Zi smiled well-behaved, stuck out his tongue when he heard the words, and said a little embarrassedly: "I can't hide it, I still hope that Sister Gu Yu will refuse, I haven't had time to tidy up the room today, the house is too messy, if you see me, I will die of shame!"
Gu Yu couldn't help laughing, suddenly thought of something, and the tone of her words changed, "By the way, why haven't I replied to my message to you in the past few days, nothing happened, right?"
Li Zi's face changed slightly, and then quickly returned to normal, "I'm sorry, Sister Gu Yu, my phone fell off the day before yesterday, and I don't have the money to replace it for the time being, so I didn't mean not to reply to your messages!"
"It's okay," Gu Yan smiled at her comfortingly when she heard this, and her deep eyes looked at her expression quietly, "Then why didn't you go to the crew and find another job?"
Li Zi's hand holding the bag tightened, a little afraid to meet her gaze, her eyelashes drooped, and after hesitating for a while, she still replied: "Actually... I don't want to do group performances anymore, I don't look good enough, I don't have the talent to act, and it would be a waste of time to continue to do group performances, so I won't go to the set again in the future. β
Gu Yan looked at her and her heart sank.
She patted her on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't do group performances, you're still young, you have a lot of time, you can find a job slowly." β
Li Zi smiled again when he heard this, and nodded vigorously, "Well, thank you, Sister Gu Yu!"
"It's time for me to go back to the hotel, so we'll see you next time?"
"Okay, goodbye, Sister Gu!"
"Goodbye. β
The moment she turned around, the smile in Gu Yan's eyes quickly faded like a tide, leaving only a chilling dark color.

At night, the film and television city is still lively, especially the crew who shoot large-scale night scenes, and the lights almost illuminate the place as bright as day.
In the rest area of the crew of "Warriors of the Kingdom", it was dark at this time.
With a click, the door opened, and a pair of red heels stepped into the room with the lights off.
Gu Yu bent down to pick up a piece of colored debris that fell under the table, and put it in front of her to look at it carefully.
If she remembered correctly, Plum's phone case was glued with cream glue to a rainbow-colored bear doll that was exactly the same color as the piece.
She slipped the fragment back in her pocket, her eyes scanning over the men's jacket on the chaise longue, and a dark glint flashed across her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day, and Gu Yu sat in the lounge, closing her eyes and asking the stylist to put on her makeup.
At that moment, several conversations reached her ears through the cracks in the closed door.
"OMG, big gossip! Guess who in our crew has resigned?"
"Who, who, say it quickly!"
"Just a reminder, you still owe me 80 bucks. β
"Tsk, I'll pay you back later, tell me what kind of gossip it is!"
"You know the group leader of our crew who recruited group actors, he suddenly resigned on his own initiative just now!"
"Oh my God, is it the lewd man who always likes to peek at group performances and change clothes? I heard a few days ago that he wanted to take advantage of a certain female group performance but was slapped in the face, I didn't expect to quit so soon..."
"Isn't it him, he used to rely on himself to rub my oil several times, and he died of disgust!"
"So the wicked have evil retribution, and I heard from the grapevine that his face looks very bad today, just like ... It's like seeing a ghost last night!"
Gu Yu slowly opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked.
"Dingβ"
It was a message from an unfamiliar number.
[Sister Gu Yu, I'm Lizi, this is my new number~]
The smile on her face deepened, and she sent a line of words.
[Plum, if you don't find a job for a while, would you like to come and be my assistant?]
