760 “AV Shooting Guide” 724: Protect Property

Zhou Yuanchuan frowned. After asking Liang Jize again and receiving a positive answer, he reached out and hung up the phone.

“I asked you not to answer the call, but I didn’t ask you to hang up…”

“What’s the difference?”

Liang Jize: “Forget it.”

He walked over, picked up the phone and took a look: “Is this the little girl you were talking about?”

“Yeah.”

“Why do you think she called?”

“Do you have anything new to tell me?”

“Well, that’s why I can’t answer the call.” Liang Jize glanced at his watch and said, “Let’s take half an hour. If you pick up the call again in half an hour, just say that something happened just now and it was inconvenient.”

Zhou Yuanchuan was silent for a moment: “I rarely ask others why, but I really can’t understand your behavior. You should know that time is precious now. If you delay for one more minute, Xiao Qiao will be in more danger.”

“Professor Zhou.” Liang Jize said coolly, “What do you think the next step will be after this Miss Yu tells you the new situation? She will start to negotiate terms with you – so in order for you to not have to sleep with her to complete this matter, leave the rest to me.”

“Leave it to you?”

“Yes.” Liang Jize shook Zhou Yuanchuan’s cell phone, “Everything you say to her next must be according to my meaning. I will text chat with her on your behalf, so that you have time to continue reading your book. We each perform our duties and win-win.”

Zhou Yuanchuan pursed his lips and fell silent.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, leaving Yu Zixin to Liang Jize was indeed the best solution. Zhou Yuanchuan needed time to digest the large amount of knowledge he had absorbed in the past few days and could not waste his energy on other things.

Moreover, when it comes to negotiation, he has no theory, but Liang Jize is a skilled practitioner.

“If discovered—”

Liang Jize smiled: “Are you doubting my acting skills?”

Zhou Yuanchuan: “…”

At this time, the sound of the entrance door opening and closing came from downstairs. It was Song Qiyan who was back.

Soon, the man’s footsteps sounded on the stairs, and he opened the door and walked in.

Liang Jize: “Is it done?”

Song Qiyan nodded and sat down on another single sofa with a slight tiredness: “Well, the company will be left to others for the time being.”

Zhou Yuanchuan: “Liang Jize chose the second room upstairs.”

“It doesn’t matter to me, it doesn’t matter where I sleep.”

“Then sleep in the fourth room upstairs. I’ll have someone clean it up today.”

“Okay, thank you.” Song Qiyan paused for a moment: “I found the location where the video was shot.”

The other two men in the room were shocked for a moment. Liang Jize whispered: “Are you sure?”

“Well, I followed the clue of Paradise Island. I didn’t have much hope at first, but I actually found it.”

Zhou Yuanchuan: “Xiao Qiao is really on Paradise Island?”

“Not only.” Song Qiyan said calmly, “She also participated in the insect fighting competition. The background in the video is the second competition – the maze.”

The study became completely quiet, and no one spoke for a while.

“Why?” Liang Jize gritted his teeth.

“No one knows, we can only infer based on the existing information.” Song Qiyan’s eyes were cold, “If she was forced by Mei Tang -”

Song Qiyan did not continue speaking, but the three people present all understood the unfinished meaning of his words.

“Xiao Qiao once asked me for a USB flash drive.” Zhou Yuanchuan said, “A USB flash drive that can copy computer information after being inserted. Her reason at the time was that she needed it for work, but if you look at the timeline, she should be at Mei Tang’s house at that time.”

Liang Jize frowned, “Well, I remembered another thing. The Mei family was secretly tracking down the whereabouts of a woman a while ago. They said she stole an antique from the Mei family and ran away. It matches the date of Xiao Qiao’s disappearance.”

“I’m afraid what was stolen was not an antique, but something from the Mei family’s computer.” Song Qiyan continued, “It can be seen that Mei Tang and Qiao Qiao did not leave the country on the same plane. Mei Tang should have chased Qiao Qiao to Paradise Island.”

Zhou Yuanchuan sighed: “I thought I knew her well enough, but now it seems that I’m still far behind.”

“We still have to go back to Mei’s house.” Liang Jize shook his head, “We can’t figure out Qiao Qiao’s motives, so we can only go around in circles with these questions.”

Song Qiyan thought for a while: “I remember that the Mei family has a close relationship with the Qin family. Could it be related to Qin Ruicheng?”

“I thought about it too, but Qin Ruicheng is staying at home well, and since the Qin family changed its head, the Mei family has had very little contact with them.”

“No…” Song Qiyan pressed his temples gently, “It’s very strange here, so don’t jump to conclusions. I’ll find someone to go to the Qin family to confirm.”

He changed the topic and looked at Zhou Yuanchuan: “How are you doing there?”

Zhou Yuanchuan pointed at Liang Jize with his chin: “Waiting for news, he will take over the rest.”

Liang Jize shook Zhou Yuanchuan’s cell phone in his hand in response: “Your body belongs to Xiao Qiao, and Xiao Qiao belongs to me. When I protect you from being slept with by other women, it is equivalent to protecting my own property. Don’t be too moved.”

Zhou Yuanchuan: “…”

He really couldn’t handle this guy, in every sense of the word.

maze.

“What’s the sound?” Qiao Qiao stopped, and A Qing and Zhang Jie behind him also stopped. A Qing subconsciously clenched the dagger, and the three of them quickly gathered together back to back.

Soon, a pleasant female voice came from above: “The exit of the maze has been discovered by the players. It will be opened in 36 hours. It will be closed after 6 hours. This round of the game is over.”

This sentence was repeated three times, and the sound echoed in the silent maze and took a long time to disperse.

“Someone has already discovered the exit?!” Ah Qing gasped, “Isn’t it too fast? Damn it, we don’t even know the direction of the exit. If we can’t find it within 36 hours, we’re all doomed!”

“Don’t worry, there’s still time.” Qiao Qiao wiped the cold sweat from his palms on his pants, “We can find it by touching the wall.”

Zhang Jie whispered: “Sister Xiao Qiao, the battery is almost used up.”

Qiao Qiao didn’t say a word, but her heart was burning with anxiety.

When they woke up after a long sleep yesterday, they started to have bad luck all the way.They only collected a little bit of dew, not even enough for each person to take a sip, so they had to take turns to moisten their throats. Almost all the lottery machines along the way were guarded by players. The three of them were weak, so they could only avoid their advantages and find some machines with particularly rubbish rewards and long cooling times. After walking all morning, they only found one. I smoked a pack of compressed biscuits, which didn’t even contain any moisture.

By this time, we had almost run out of ammunition and food. If we couldn’t find water today, we might not be able to get out.

“I have a suggestion.” Qiao Qiao stopped, her voice sounding particularly hoarse due to the rapid loss of water, “Lose weight.”

Ah Qing’s face was twisted, and he immediately hugged the gold bars around his waist: “I won’t abandon them even if I die here today!”

Qiao Qiao explained patiently: “I’m not throwing it away, I’m hiding it temporarily. This gold bar is too heavy and it’s very inconvenient to carry it around.”

Zhang Jie also echoed: “Yes, if you carry this thing, you will sweat after taking two steps. I am already thirsty, but when I sweat, I feel like I am going to be fucked.”

Ah Qing: “Even you don’t support me!”

Qiao Qiao made a pause gesture and said feebly: “Don’t argue, save your words. Just vote. The minority obeys the majority – those who agree raise their hands.”

She and Zhang Jie both raised their hands. Two to one, Ah Qing was completely defeated.

Ah Qing still refused to give up: “I can hide it, but where? If you hide something in a maze, are you sure you can still find it?”

“Just mark it and we’ll come back to get it when we find the exit.”

Ah Qing had nothing to say, so he had to hand over the gold bars. Qiao Qiao wrapped all the gold bars in a rag, found a relatively hidden corner, and stuffed them under the wall of a dead end.

Most people will turn back when they see a dead end. If you don’t get closer, you won’t find anything packed here. It’s generally safe.

“Okay, we can travel lightly.” Qiao Qiao said, “We may not be able to sleep for the next 36 hours, so everyone should be mentally prepared.”

Ah Qing stared at the bulging bag and made a last desperate struggle: “Otherwise, I will carry it with me so that you won’t be tired.”

“No.” Qiao Qiao flatly objected, “Are you willing to risk your life for gold?”

Ah Qing muttered: “Compared with gold, fate is nothing. It seems you have never had a hard life…”

“You are wrong. I have been dependent on others since I was a child, and my life is no less difficult than yours.” Qiao Qiao dragged Ah Qing away, “It’s just that I have a reason to live.”

As soon as the three of them walked out of the dead end, they ran into a six-man team.

Opposite is a combination of four men and two women. The two women are particularly beautiful, with neat clothes and neat hairstyles. They are completely different from the unkempt appearance of Qiao Qiao. At first glance, they seem to depend on the four men for survival.

This situation is not uncommon. After all, the insect fighting competition has a high degree of freedom and there are many ways to win. When they are at a disadvantage, some women will choose to cooperate with some men and exchange their bodies for shelter.

Although men seem to be taking advantage, the risk is actually not small, because you never know when you will be bitten back.

However, Qiao Qiao likes to be in contact with this kind of team. These men vent their desires regularly and will not target the three of them, so the risk factor will be smaller.

Qiao Qiao nodded to them in a friendly way, as a greeting, sending a signal of ‘I don’t want to mess with you, and please don’t mess with me’.

“Wait a minute.”

One of the dark-skinned men called out to her, and Qiao Qiao immediately became nervous, but he only asked: “Do you have anything to change?”

Qiao Qiao shook his head, “There is no food and water, and there is not much electricity. There is nothing that can be exchanged.”

“Okay.” The man’s attitude was quite good, “Then do you know the news about the ‘export’?”

Qiao Qiao still shook his head, the man said nothing more, and the two teams passed by.

Ah Qing stared at those people nervously, because this team was going to the dead end where they hid the gold bars.

Qiao Qiao pulled her, but A Qing’s feet didn’t move as if they were rooted.Qiao Qiao was anxious. This is where caring leads to chaos. If you act like this, it’s strange that people won’t be suspicious!

Sure enough, the people in that team realized something was wrong, and one person asked: “What are you looking at?”

Ah Qing hesitated and said: “It’s a dead end over there. You guys should try another way.”

Qiao Qiao: “…”

Come on, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, the real version has happened.
