Ran Xueyi had completely forgotten about Zhao Fei's switching sides nor what happened to Feng Huai.
It was several minutes before six in the evening. The deadline given by Dauntless was almost over. Feng Huai and Gong Sun waited for the 'Producer', who called to pay them 60 million for Zhang Yiqing's new songs.
"Is he still not here?" Feng Huai was not feeling somewhat anxious. If he wasn't feeling afraid earlier and just slightly disappointed, now that the time was running fast, he felt like his bladder was about to blow and he would pee in his pants.
It wasn't only him who was feeling this way. Gong Sun, who spoke on the phone with the 'Producer' felt like something was wrong. He just couldn't put his fingers on it. However, due to the pressure on him, he chose not to think too much about it.
"Perhaps, there was traffic and he'll be late." Gong Sun tried to reason out with this explanation.
He just didn't want to think that someone could have tricked him.
At this time, a ringing sound of someone's phone pierced into their hearts. Gong Sun looked at his phone, but it was still dark. No one called him.
Then, whose phone was that?
"Uh... It seems to be mine," said Feng Huai as he brought out his phone. As he said, his phone screen was lit. "It's Sister Fei."
Gong Sun frowned, "What does she want from you? Did she find out that you took Zhang Yiqing's flash drive?"
Feng Huai didn't know so he shook his head. "I don't think she would call me because of this. I'm Zhang Yiqing's manager and Zhang Yiqing gave me a flash drive for me to listen to his songs. Besides, no one knows that I'm trying to sell it."
This explanation was reasonable. Feng Huai got permission from Zhao Yiqing to take his flash drive home and listen to his songs. The idea that he would sell it to other people would never enter into anyone's mind.
Just that... Feng Huai was slightly nervous to pick up the call. His conscience made him reject it the first time because he didn't want to meet or talk with Zhao Fei when he was doing this kind of malicious action.
"Why did you not pick it up?" Gong Sun asked him.
Feng Huai: "I don't want to talk to her."
But just as he said this, his phone rang again. But this time, a message also happened to be sent to him.
It was from Zhang Yiqing.
"What is it?" Gong Sun watched as Feng Huai's face turned sour.
Feng Huai read the message and ignored Zhao Fei's call, saying, "Zhang Yiqing wanted to meet with me. He seems to have forgotten to add one song that is in the flash drive on the computer."
"Don't reply to him! Heh, it seems we won a lottery today."
They were so lucky that Zhao Yiqing happened to call Feng Huai to listen to his new songs and saved them from their dilemma. Now, they found out that Zhao Yiqing actually didn't save one of the songs on the computer. It was just a pie that fell from the sky.
But at this moment, another message arrived. It was from Zhao Fei.
[Sister Fei: It's a trap! Don't go anywhere and stay far from the city!]
"What the heck is she saying?"
"Sister Fei?"
Gong Sun and Feng Huai spoke almost simultaneously. However, the two shared the same meaning and thoughts. They were confused and didn't know why Zhao Fei sent Feng Huai this message.
"Did she send it to the wrong person?"
Feng Huai thought the same at first, but he thought of the calls he was getting from Zhao Fei just now. Could it be...
Just as his mind was about to grasp on something, Gong Sun's phone started to ring.
Gong Sun exclaimed happily, "It's the Producer!"
Feng Huai snapped out of his thoughts and quickly told him to answer.
Gong Sun also anxiously answered, "Hello? Yes..." He looked around him and continued speaking to the phone, "I'm on the street to the Imperial Academy. Yes, I'll wait for you here."
After hanging up, Feng Huai directly asked him, "What did he say? Does the producer want to meet with us?"
Gong Sun nodded, "He wants to personally come and meet us. I agreed since this matter involves a huge amount of money."
"But do we still have time?" Feng Huai was worried about the remaining time. It was almost six and Dauntless will surely not show any mercy to them.
â€"
Zhao Fei was racing through the streets to find Feng Huai. She looked left and right while she kept on calling him.
Honestly, she had some regrets when she left Chestnut to chase Feng Huai. Ran Xueyi had been a good friend and employer to her. However, she couldn't allow Feng Huai to fall to his ruin.
Of course, Zhao Fei planned to persuade Feng Huai to come to Ran Xueyi and ask for her forgiveness. Maybe, Ran Xueyi will then feel a little bit regretful and forgive him too based on their close relationship that started more than three years ago.
For as long as Feng Huai doesn't do anything foolish with the flash drive in his hands, then everything is good.
But she was afraid that Gong Sun would influence Feng Huai to do something evil.
Even with all the evidence and the video she just watched in the office with everyone, Zhao Fei didn't believe that Feng Huai was evil. That innocent kid will never do anything bad and it was only due to coercion or persuasion from Gong Sun that Feng Huai did it.
However, Zhao Fei blinded herself with her trust towards Feng Huai that she forgot that even children who made mistakes wouldn't go as far as hurting other people.
Just as she was losing hope in finding the whereabouts of Feng Huai, her phone calls finally connected.
"Xiao Feng! Listen to me carefully and don't do anything for now." Zhao Fei spoke hurriedly and without waiting for the other to respond, she continued, saying, "Ran Xueyi already knows you betrayed her and Chestnut. She already investigated everything and found everything that you did."
"She wants to catch you so she laid a trap for you. The flash drive you took from Zhao Yiqing is a trap too. Just listen to this older sister and make sure to not hand the flash drive to anyone else."
"Just stay still and I will come to help you."
Zhao Fei said everything she wanted to say.
However, the voice that came out of the speaker did not belong to Feng Huai.
It was Ran Xueyi who answered.
"Sister Fei is so powerful she can even save Feng Huai?"
Zhao Fei was extremely shocked, "You!"
Ran Xueyi chuckled, "Are you shocked? Well, I am too. I didn't know your love for Feng Huai is so tremendous you're willing to betray your morals to help a criminal. We don't have any hatred between us yet you chose to turn your back on me... Even helping the criminals to get away from me?"
Zhao Fei stopped her car and asked, "Why do you have Feng Huai's phone? Where is he?"
"He can't speak to you right now." Ran Xueyi's voice sounded lazy.
"What did you do to him! Let me speak to him! If you do anything to him, I swear I'll do everything to bring you down, Ran Xueyi!" Zhao Fei was afraid that Ran Xueyi had ordered someone to silence Feng Huai.
Ran Xueyi: "I'm honored to hear that. But unfortunately, it is not me who has Feng Huai."
"What do you mean?"
However, she didn't get a response as Ran Xueyi had already hung up.
Zhao Fei blew up.
She called again, but it was already turned off. She called Ran Xueyi's phone and this time, it connected.
"Yes?" Ran Xueyi calmly answered as if she wasn't the one who answered using Feng Huai's phone.
Between gritted teeth, Zhao Fei tried to calm herself, and finally forced herself to speak, "Where is he?"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Ran Xueyi!"
Ran Xueyi laughed, "You can't even take jokes anymore?"
"Do you think this is a joke? You abducted Feng Huai...What are you planning to do to him? Where are you hiding him?! Are you not afraid I will call the authorities and have you captured?"
This time, Ran Xueyi was speechless at the accusations she was receiving from Zhao Fei. All of which were not true. Although she did have Feng Huai's phone, the person was not beside her.
Rather, Feng Huai was somewhere else.
He was in a police station, probably being interrogated now.
But her silence only made the suspicions in Zhao Fei's mind solidify. She glared at the phone that showed Ran Xueyi name and spat out, " Feng Huai only stole company documents that contained artists' information. Even though he did betray you, it doesn't make sense that you would actually abduct him and try to silence him!"
Ran Xueyi sighed in her heart and was too lazy to bother with her. She decisively hung up their call and looked at Song Yu Han who had a smirk on his face.
Ran Xueyi was feeling somewhat helpless: "She said I kidnapped Feng Huai..."
Song Yu Han could no longer hold back and started to laugh.
