The release time of "Morning Mist" was finalized, and Yue Heng began to tour the film to promote it, and the first stop of the publicity was naturally set in Haishi.

In the lobby of a star-rated hotel, the creators appeared together to attend the media conference held for the movie "Morning Mist". Although Xia Xier's foot injury has not healed, he still came to the scene with the support of his assistant.

When the meeting was coming to an end, Sui Yun went outside to answer a phone call, he was standing in the corridor, concentrating on the phone, when he suddenly felt a heat in the back of his neck, and I don't know who patted him with his palm: "Da Ming, what a coincidence, I met you here." ”

Sui Yun turned his head and looked at the person around him with some surprise, the person had a dark complexion, his eyes were a little small, and he was a completely unfamiliar face, and the other party seemed to realize that he had recognized the wrong person, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the staircase.

Sui Yun was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he raised his hand and touched his neck, and found that the pendant on his neck was missing, and then he reacted, the person just now was a thief.

Sui Yun didn't think much about it, he chased after him directly, he walked down the stairs, and when he walked to the fifth floor, he finally found the thief, and Mu Qiancheng was still standing next to the other party.

As soon as Mu Qiancheng saw Sui Yun, he ran away, and the thief also wanted to run, but his movements were a step slower, and Sui Yun, who rushed up, grabbed his collar: "Hand over the things." ”

When the thief saw that he was fierce, he was a little frightened, and stammered and replied, "I...... I gave it to the guy just now. ”

Sui Yun immediately pushed away the thief and turned to chase Mu Qiancheng. Mu Qiancheng ran to the second floor and found that Sui Yun was already very close to him, and in a hurry, he turned directly into the kitchen of the hotel.

A cook picked up the iron pot on the stove and was about to pour the dishes in the pot into the plate, when Mu Qiancheng suddenly rushed over and almost collided with him, the cook shook back and barely stabilized himself.

Mu Qiancheng was also a little unsteady on his feet, his arm was tilted to the right, and the pendant in his hand fell, the silk thread was still hanging on his hand, but the silver lock plate touched the fire that had not been extinguished, and the surface of the lock plate immediately glowed with red light, but it lasted for a short time, and when Mu Qiancheng took back the pendant, the red light had disappeared.

Mu Qiancheng stuffed the pendant into his coat pocket, looked at the cook who was stunned on the side, he didn't say anything, and continued to run forward.

Passing through the back door of the kitchen, going down a flight of stairs, and finally arriving at the lobby on the ground floor, Mu Qiancheng was in a hurry, and did not find out the surrounding situation, and ran directly through the revolving door to the outside of the hotel.

When he got outside, he regretted it a little.

The space in the hotel lobby is limited and cannot accommodate all the media, so some reporters waited outside the hotel, wanting to interview a few words while the creators came out. However, they didn't wait for the main creator of the movie, but they saw Mu Qiancheng.

In line with the idea of catching one and counting one, the group of reporters swarmed forward and began to ask questions around Mu Qiancheng.

"Are you here to see Xia Xi'er?"

"What is your relationship with Xia Xier? Are you in a relationship? ”

"Xia Xier has always refused to recognize your relationship, what do you think about this?"

Mu Qiancheng was surrounded by a group of reporters, and he was so upset. I don't know why, after walking out of the hotel, his feelings were very excited, and the whole person was in a state of excitement, and this group of reporters came to add fuel to the fire, so he couldn't control his feelings even more.

He pushed away the dozens of microphones in front of him and yelled, "Go away, don't bother me." ”

How could that group of reporters give up lightly? Soon, more than a dozen microphones reached out again, and a reporter with glasses asked in a loud voice: "It is said that you have been going to see Xia Xier a lot recently, are you living together?" ”

Mu Qiancheng waved his hand and directly slapped the person's microphone to the ground: "Your sister who lives together, if I go to see your mother often, will I also live with your mother?" ”

Hearing his foul language, the reporters were stunned for a moment, but then they became excited again, they could be regarded as scooping this time, the more fierce Mu Qiancheng scolded, the richer the content they could write. As a result, one question after another was thrown over like a cannon.

Mu Qiancheng was distraught, he couldn't control his feelings anymore, he raised his fist and punched the man with glasses in front of him, and directly knocked the man down.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and the reporters quickly retreated, forming an encirclement half a meter away from Mu Qiancheng. Mu Qiancheng still felt uncomfortable, he took a few steps forward and punched and kicked several reporters in front of him.

After the beating, he began to yell hysterically, and cursed vigorously, while scolding, he took off his coat and threw it to the ground fiercely: "A bunch of shameless stupid x." ”

As the coat fell to the ground, the pendant slipped out of the pocket of his clothes, and Mu Qiancheng suddenly regained his senses, he looked around blankly, and when he saw the reporters who were beaten by him, his face changed.

After coming back to his senses, Mu Qiancheng quickly walked through the crowd and wanted to flee the scene, of course the reporters would not let him go like this, and chased after him with the camera, and the reporters who were beaten grabbed Mu Qiancheng and wanted to ask for an explanation.

Mu Qiancheng was surrounded by a group of reporters, his expression was embarrassed, and the scene was wolf, he blocked the camera while constantly pleading: "I'm sorry, please let go." ”

Everyone was chasing Mu Qiancheng, and no one noticed Sui Yun not far away.

Sui Yun stood at the foot of the steps at the door of the hotel, quietly watching the scene in front of him, as soon as he ran out just now, he saw Mu Qiancheng insulting the reporter, he was a little confused, he couldn't understand what medicine the other party had taken wrong?

Isn't Mu Qiancheng shown as a gentle and warm man? Why did you suddenly scold the reporter?

Although he was puzzled, he didn't bother to think about it, so he walked straight over and picked up the pendant on the ground. When the cleats were pinched in the palm of his hand, they were slightly hot, but Sui Yun didn't care about it, and directly put it on his neck.

When I returned to the hall on the eighth floor, the media meeting had ended, and the reporters had left the scene one after another, Xia Xier stood alone in the corner and called: "Minxuan, my feet are inconvenient, can you come and pick me up?" ”

Wen Minxuan didn't answer and asked, "What is Mu Qiancheng doing there to you?" He didn't participate in the movie, and why did he beat up reporters? ”

Just now, Xu Weijie walked in and sued Wen Minxuan, Mu Qiancheng beat the reporter at the door of the hotel, and the video has been posted on Weibo. Wen Minxuan didn't believe it at first, but when he looked on the Internet, he was completely confused. He couldn't believe that the foul and brutal guy in the video was Mu Qiancheng.

Wenying Media spent so much effort to create a cute and warm male image for Mu Qiancheng, which is completely ruined.

"Huh? He beats up journalists? I've been upstairs and don't know about it. Xia Xier was also a little stunned, before, Mu Qiancheng told her that he wanted to take advantage of this media meeting to steal Sui Yun's pendant, why would he beat the reporter again?

"Did he tell you, why did he go to your side?"

"Well, he didn't say." Xia Xi'er replied vaguely, and quickly returned to the previous topic: "Min Xuan, come and pick me up." ”

Under her soft grinding and hard bubbles, Wen Minxuan finally agreed to pick her up.

When the reporters were almost gone, Sui Yun and Gu Xue left the hotel lobby, and when they walked to the elevator, they happened to meet Xia Xier and her assistant, so the four of them took the same elevator to the underground parking garage.

The elevator went to the second basement floor, and as soon as the door opened, several people saw Wen Minxuan standing outside the door at the same time, Xia Xier limped over and grabbed his arm: "Have you waited for a long time?" ”

Gu Xue didn't say hello to Wen Minxuan, she bypassed him directly and went to find her car. Sui Yun didn't plan to greet him, however, when he passed by the other party, Wen Minxuan spoke: "I heard, you went to my house two days ago?" ”

Sui Yun glanced at him and thought: I'll go to see my grandfather and my father, do you have any opinions?

If this was left in normal times, Sui Yun would definitely be too lazy to deal with the other party, but today was a little different, he felt that he was very excited, and his emotions were also extremely excited, so he replied coldly: "That's also my family, right?" Why can't I go? ”

Seeing his straightforward appearance, Wen Minxuan's face immediately sank, but there were some words that he didn't want outsiders to hear, so he said to Xia Xi'er's assistant: "You help Xi'er to wait for me in the car first." ”

Xia Xier sensed the smell of gunpowder between the two men, so he obediently followed the assistant.

Wen Minxuan took a step closer and threatened Sui Yun's ear: "I advise you to be more interesting, otherwise, I can ruin you at any time." ”

Sui Yun turned a deaf ear to his threat: "You are the one who should be more interesting, if I go back to the Wen family and confess my relatives, you will be nothing." ”

Sui Yun felt that his feelings were getting more and more excited, and his breathing was becoming more and more rapid, he pulled the collar and pulled the buttons of the neckline, but he still couldn't calm his feelings, Wen Minxuan said a few more radical words, so Sui Yun waved his fist and punched the other party's left cheek.

Wen Minxuan's cheeks immediately swollen, he glared at Sui Yun fiercely, and then shook his fist at him.

When Gu Xue drove over, she saw Sui Yun and Wen Minxuan scuffling together, and she hurriedly got out of the car to persuade her.

Sui Yun's feelings were out of control, and he couldn't listen to persuasion at all, so he pushed Gu Xue away and continued to scuffle with Wen Minxuan. Gu Xue staggered a few steps before she could barely stabilize herself, and when she looked up, she saw Sui Yun's chest glowing red, and she immediately realized what was going on.

Gu Xue pulled Sui Yun away with great force, and then, reached in and held the pendant around the other party's neck. The bracelet on his wrist flashed a few times, and the silver cleats in his palm no longer glowed red.

Sui Yun gradually calmed down, he opened his eyes around in confusion, and when he saw Wen Minxuan's blue nose and swollen face, he was a little overwhelmed.

Wen Minxuan was furious, staring at him and just about to say something, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and he picked it up and said "hey" impatiently.

The call came from Sister-in-law Hong: "Young master, I just heard about something, I heard that Master Wen asked the old man to inquire about Sui Yun's family background. ”

Wen Wenxuan frowned: "When did it happen?" ”

"It was the last two days."

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Minxuan was obviously a little impatient, he threw down a sentence at Sui Yun, "I will remember this account first, and we will calculate it together in the future", and then left in a hurry.

After getting into the car, Gu Xue took a tissue and pressed the corner of Sui Yun's bleeding mouth: "Why did you fight with Wen Minxuan?" ”

Sui Yun was also very confused: "I don't know, I started fighting for some reason." ”

Gu Xue asked tentatively, "Did something happen before?" I see you just went out on a phone call and came back after a long time. ”

"I met Mu Qiancheng on the stairs, he stole my pendant, and then I chased him." Sui Yun recounted simply.

Gu Xue couldn't help sighing, I heard someone say just now that Mu Qiancheng hit the reporter downstairs, she was quite puzzled at the time, now that she thinks about it, could it be the reason for the pendant?

She looked at Sui Yun's neckline with some concern, how could the pendant suddenly glow red? If it happens so often, it's a real headache.

******

Recently, Wen Minxuan no longer cares about the situation on Wen Ziyang's side, and no longer asks Deng Xiaoqing to take the other party to the casino, anyway, he already has the handle to blackmail Xie Wanru, so he doesn't need to care about Wen Ziyang.

However, Wen Ziyang has become addicted to gambling, even if Deng Xiaoqing doesn't say it, he will run to the casino himself. Wen Ziyang is having trouble with his family, and his economy is not as rich as before, and sometimes, he even has to rely on Deng Xiaoqing for help, but as soon as he goes to the casino, he loses tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and owes a lot of gambling debts.

After a long time, Deng Xiaoqing was also a little unbearable, and began to persuade him to quit gambling, but Wen Ziyang refused to stop, he had already lost so much money, if he stopped now, wouldn't the previous money be wasted? Only by gambling can you have a chance to turn the book.

However, it backfired, the more I wanted to win, the more I lost miserably, and finally one day, Wen Ziyang completely broke out, he picked up a wooden chair and smashed it on the gambling table: "Why did I gamble for so long, and in the end I lost money, and I never won?" Are you out of the woods? ”

As soon as Wen Ziyang was furious, two big men rushed over, one of them tied his arm and pressed his face on the gambling table, Deng Xiaoqing on the side was so frightened that his face was colorless, but he had nothing to do, so he could only do it in a hurry.

In order not to affect the business of the casino, Wen Ziyang and Deng Xiaoqing were taken to another room. The furnishings in the room were very simple, only a writing desk and a few chairs, and a man with a tattoo sat behind the desk and said leisurely: "You kid is not too brave to dare to make trouble on my territory." ”

Before Wen Ziyang could stand still, he was kicked by a thug next to him, his legs were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground.

"Brother Shao, how to deal with this person?" The thug asked the tattooed man opposite.

Brother Shao took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it in his mouth, and glanced at Wen Ziyang with a pair of triangular eyes: "I said Young Master Wen, the money you owe should also be repaid, right?" ”

As he spoke, he took a piece of paper from a drawer and threw it on the floor.

Wen Ziyang picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, his face immediately changed: "I only borrowed two million from you, it's only been a few days, how did it become five million?" ”

Brother Shao took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled a string of smoke rings: "When I borrow money, I will make it clear to you, we are going to charge interest here." ”

Wen Ziyang was not convinced: "How do you calculate?" The interest is higher than the principal, which is also too dark. ”

"What? Still not convinced? Brother Shao's face sank, and he ordered the two thugs: "Call me." ”

The two thugs immediately received the order, punching and kicking Wen Ziyang, Wen Ziyang had never been beaten like this, and immediately screamed in pain, and rolled on the ground vigorously.

After a while, Brother Shao gestured to his subordinates, signaling the other party to stop, and the two thugs immediately stopped. Brother Shao walked over, squatted in front of Wen Ziyang, looked at the person on the ground, and then grabbed the other party's hair and pulled his face up: "Are you taking it now?" ”

Wen Ziyang was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he replied vaguely: "Serve, serve." ”

"That's good, let's pay it back quickly." After Brother Shao sat back at the desk, he said to Deng Xiaoqing: "You go and bring a message to his family, let them take the money to ransom people, if you don't have money, then wait to collect his body." ”

After leaving the casino, Deng Xiaoqing immediately called Wen Minxuan: "Mr. Wen, Ziyang was arrested by the people in the casino, saying that if he didn't pay back the money, he would die." ”

Wen Minxuan has been upset about Wen Tingshu's investigation of Sui Yun in the past few days, and he has no heart to care about Wen Ziyang: "Those people just talk about it, they don't dare to really kill people." ”

"However, Ziyang was beaten badly by them, I'm afraid that in case...... Mr. Wen, you might as well find a way to save him. ”

"At most, they beat people up, and then they let them go. Don't worry, I can't get killed, I still have something to do, hang up first. ”

"Hey, Mr. Wen, hey......"

Hung up the phone, Deng Xiaoqing was very depressed, although she had harmed Wen Ziyang, but she never thought of asking him to die, in case someone died, she would not be able to escape the blame.

She tried to think about it for a while, wondering if anyone could ask for help, and at this time, she suddenly remembered a man and a woman she had met in the casino that day, and they seemed to have a little friendship with Wen Ziyang. The man was wearing sunglasses, she couldn't see it clearly, but she knew the woman, it was Gu Xue, the president of Yueheng.

So, Deng Xiaoqing called a colleague of Wen Ying, got Yue Heng's phone number from her, and then dialed Gu Xue: "Mr. Gu, I'm Deng Xiaoqing, do you remember me?" We saw it in the casino that day. ”

"What's the matter with me?" Gu Xue heard what she said, so she didn't go around the bush and asked straight to the point.

"That's right, Ziyang was beaten by the people in the casino, saying that if he didn't pay back the money, he would be killed, Mr. Gu, can you save him?"

When Gu Xue and Sui Yun rushed to Brother Shao's office, Wen Ziyang had been trapped here for more than an hour, if it weren't for someone to point out, Gu Xue would almost not have recognized the person squatting in the corner as Wen Ziyang, his face was blue and purple, and it was also accompanied by edema, which was very different from the handsome Wen Ziyang on weekdays.

"Money?" Brother Shao narrowed his triangular eyes and looked at the two people who came in.

Gu Xue smiled: "I'm already raising money, can you let me take people away first?" ”

Five million is not a big amount for Gu Xue, but why should she give the money to the casino for nothing? She just needs to take Wen Ziyang out, as for the gambling debts, let the Wen family settle them, she doesn't want to be the big boss.

Brother Shao snorted: "Pay the money with one hand, hand over the person with the other, when will you bring the money, and when will I release the person." ”

Gu Xue bit her lip, thinking about what excuse she could find to take people away, at this moment, the scene in front of her suddenly changed, she saw a group of policemen rushing into the casino, and in an instant, all the thugs inside were subdued, and then they shouted at the gamblers at each table: "Police, all squat down and hold your heads!" ”

The gamblers at the scene squatted on the ground one by one, obediently raised their arms, and hugged their heads. At the same time, another group of police officers quickly rushed towards the other rooms in the casino.

Directly south of the casino was a wall clock, and at the moment, the time on it was half past three in the afternoon.

Gu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the police are coming soon, so let's leave this matter to the police, and she won't go to this troubled water. She glanced up at her watch, it was 3:20 p.m., and if the illusion was today, then the police would be there in ten minutes.

Gu Xue raised her head and smiled at Brother Shao again: "Then I'll go back to get the money now and leave." ”

After she finished speaking, she pulled up Sui Yun and planned to leave. Wen Ziyang, who was in the corner, saw that they were leaving, and was a little anxious: "Sister, you must come back." ”

This "sister" shouted Gu Xue all over her body, Wen Ziyang had never called her sister before, when it came to life and death, she could really say anything.

Gu Xue glanced back at him, and then pointed to Sui Yun on the side: "Actually, it was your brother who came over to save you." ”

Wen Ziyang's eyes fell on Sui Yun, he knew the person in front of him, he saw it in the toilet that day, Sui Yun was also wearing sunglasses and a hat today, so it was easy to recognize.

But Wen Ziyang couldn't understand, why did this person help himself? Is he familiar with himself? Not really. But at this time, it's good that someone is willing to come forward to help them, who cares about those?

Wen Ziyang looked at Sui Yun very gratefully, and said softly: "Brother, thank you." ”

As soon as he walked out of the casino, Sui Yun asked Gu Xue puzzled: "I have a bank-bank card on me, just transfer money directly, why do you still say that you want to go back and withdraw money?" ”

Gu Xue smiled mysteriously: "Let's take a look first." ”

She dragged Sui Yun to the back of a house around the corner, from which she could see the situation on the other side of the casino, and the people in the casino were not easy to spot.

Gu Xue raised her wrist again and looked at the time, at 3:23, if she guessed correctly, the police would arrive in about seven minutes.

It would have been better if the police had come later, but if the police hadn't come, if the situation in the illusion hadn't happened today, then we would have to find another way.
