Chapter 356 Shackles

Gu Jingyan's face darkened, "What do you mean by unreachable?"

Lin Shu whispered, "Madam's cell phone signal disappeared. She should have arrived at the Deep Blue Club and entered the signal shielding area, but she was not seen at the audition site."

"I have just contacted the club's manager and am adjusting the surveillance, but it will take time," Lin Shu paused, "Madam is likely to have been set up."

Gu Jingyan didn't know the "rules" of the entertainment industry, but Lin Shu knew them.

Qiao Ruoxing previously relied on a legal short drama like "Legal Domain" to increase her fans by more than one million in just one week without buying promotion, and topped the hot search several times. Anyone who encounters such a competitor will be afraid.

The cake of the entertainment industry is so big. Qiao Ruoxing not only has strength, but also looks. If she becomes popular, she will definitely share the cake of others.

With Madam's emphasis on acting, it is impossible for her not to have appeared at the interview site at this point, so it is likely that she was set up by a competitor.

Gu Jingyan stood up and walked out without saying a word.

Mr. Yang finally invited Gu Jingyan to come. Seeing that he was about to leave after staying for a short time, he stepped forward to stop him. Lin Shu raised his hand to block him and said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Gu has an urgent matter today. Jiangsheng's anniversary celebration will be held next Wednesday. I hope Mr. Yang will attend. I will send someone to deliver the invitation to your house another day."

Mr. Yang was stunned. Jiangsheng's anniversary celebration rarely invited foreign guests over the years. Even if they were invited, they were Jiangsheng's major partners or brand friends.

Mr. Yang and Jiangsheng have only cooperated for the past two years. He dared not even think about being invited to Jiangsheng's anniversary celebration.

Lin Shu no longer cared about his expression of downtime at the moment and followed Gu Jingyan to leave.

Qiao Ruoxing hammered on the door a few times, and the lights in the room went out.

Qiao Ruoxing's heart tightened and she quickly turned on the light of her mobile phone.

She was a little afraid of the dark, especially in such a small and closed space, which inevitably reminded her of some unpleasant experiences in her childhood.

She squatted on the ground and knocked on the door, her hands were sore but she couldn't hear any movement.

She should have thought of the deep blue nausea earlier.

Since the other party locked her here, they must be sure that she would come out in a short time. They may have also asked someone to keep an eye on her nearby. Anyway, they would never let her go out in a short time.

She took her mobile phone and looked around with the weak light. Suddenly, she saw the boxes of wine on the ground. She got up and moved the wine to the door.

She opened a bottle and poured it out through the crack of the door.

Gu Jingyan quickly arrived at the ninth floor of the audition. He got out of the elevator and asked Lin Shu as he walked, "How long will it take for the surveillance to find out?"

"It's hard to say. The main thing is that we don't know when the wife entered the club. I asked them to check from the nearest time. It is estimated that it will take at least half an hour...about."

Gu Jingyan's face sank again.

It's already half past eight. By the time it's found out, the audition will be over.

Lin Shu hurriedly said, "The manager of Shenlan has arranged people to search layer by layer, and there should be news soon."

Lin Shu paused and whispered, "Mr. Gu, you can actually go with the flow and ignore this matter. Your wife's loss is the best time for you to take advantage of it... to show your ability."

Gu Jingyan stopped, turned his head and looked at him, and said only six words, "That's her dream."

Of course, he could do as Lin Shu said, let her experience all the intrigues in society, let her fall into the quagmire, and then he would help her like a savior, let her know how cruel and terrible it is to leave his world, and keep her by his side like a canary.

But Qiao Ruoxing is not a canary. In the years that he has kept her in captivity, she seems to be pampered and spends money on shopping lavishly, but her feathers are getting dimmer day by day.

She would toss and turn at night when watching other classmates achieve success in their careers. She would also point to one of the actors while watching a play and say, "This is my classmate XXX. He didn't do as well as me in school back then. I didn't expect him to become so great now. Everyone works so hard."

It's true that he wanted to keep her in captivity, but the cage was never locked.

Qiao Ruoxing stayed in the cage for a long time and didn't want to fly out.

It's like a baby elephant that was chained when it was a child. When it grows up, it obviously has the ability to break free from the shackles, but lacks the courage to break free from the shackles.

Now that she has walked out of the cage, unless she is willing to go back, he will never personally set the cage and destroy her dream.

Lin Shu was shocked and whispered, "I understand."

Gu Jingyan stopped walking not far after passing the audition box.

The carpet under his feet feels different from other places.

He looked down and saw that his feet were wet. Other places were bright red, but this piece under his feet was dark red.

The wet traces spread from his feet to a very narrow door a few meters away.

Lin Shu wondered, "It's leaking. No, why does it smell so much like wine?"

Gu Jingyan took a look and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a lot of wine gushing out of the crack in the door.

"Sorry, sorry," a waiter rushed out and apologized nervously, "Please keep to the left, the warehouse has leaked wine, I will ask someone to clean it up immediately."

Leak... The floodgates must have opened at this time.

Gu Jingyan looked at the door and suddenly said, "Open it."

The waiter was shocked, "Sorry, guests, this is also the employee locker room, there are many personal items of employees in it, involving personal privacy..."

"Open it!"

Gu Jingyan lowered his voice, his face was already impatient.

The waiter was startled. Gu Jingyan had just restrained his aura, but now that he was angry, his aura was fully open, which made people a little afraid.

The sense of oppression from the superior was too strong.

But the waiter took the other party's money and could not let him go until nine o'clock. There were still twenty minutes before nine o'clock. If he let him go, how could he get the remaining half of the money?

But he quickly calmed down. The boss behind Shenlan was from the imperial capital. Who dared to make trouble here among the small bosses who came to Jiangcheng to consume?

So he suppressed his panic and pretended to be tough, "Sorry, I have to ask our manager."

Lin Shu held the phone and said, "Manager Duan, a waiter didn't open the door. Come up and see what's going on. It's the ninth floor. Hurry up. Mr. Gu is waiting."

The waiter's face turned pale.

Why, why did you contact Manager Duan directly...

Manager Duan arrived at the scene in three minutes and was about to start a swearing attack, but Gu Jingyan interrupted him, "Open the door first."

Manager Duan turned around and glared at the waiter, "Where's the key? Open the door!"

The waiter frantically took the key from the duty room and tried to insert it several times with shaking hands, but failed to get it into the keyhole.

Lin Shu snatched the key from him and opened the door with a stern face.
