Chapter 145: Yun Mu Goes Missing

Huo Tingying wakes up and finds that Yun Mu is not there; he immediately goes downstairs to look for her.

"Where is Young Lady?"

Huo Tingying asks a servant at hand.

"The Young Lady left very early this morning, saying she was returning to the set."

Huo Tingying's eyes darken.

Didn't she say she wouldn't leave?

"By the way, the Young Lady looked quite unwell when she left, she didn't even eat breakfast." The servant plucks up the courage to ask, "Young Master, have you two... not made up yet?"

Though he was drunk last night, he still clearly remembers that Yun Mu said she wouldn't leave.

She isn't someone who breaks her word.

Huo Tingying returns to the second floor and sees that the study door is open.

He immediately enters, walking up to the desk.

The computer is on, Yun Mu has been here.

He glances at the desktop of the computer, his expression darkening instantly.

She must have seen that document, thinking he deliberately hid the news because he wanted to keep her here and didn't want her to take revenge for the Yun family.

Huo Tingying takes out his car keys and leaves, dialing Feng Shuo's number as he does so.

"Find out where Yun Mu's crew is filming, tell me all her specific schedules, including the hotel they're staying in."

Ten minutes later, Feng Shuo responds.

"Young Master, the Young Lady has moved to Z City for filming, the exact location is at the border of Huaguo, I've already sent the coordinates to your phone."

"Book me the earliest flight to Z City."

Huo Tingying starts his car and hangs up the call.

At the filming location.

Row after row of vehicles slowly enter a mountainous area. Wen Qingqing curiously looks out the car window at the beautiful scenery, occasionally calling Yun Mu over to look at something interesting.

Su Dan sneers, "You've never seen anything like it."

Yun Shuiyao looks outside at the simple scenery and the border line, then suddenly asks, "This is the border, gunfights or explosions should be common, right? The geographical environment is also complex, what do you think would happen if someone accidentally got lost in the jungle?"

Su Dan says, "They'd definitely be in a bad situation."

Yun Shuiyao's eyes flicker, and she smiles meaningfully.

Because the border area has short daylight hours, the crew has prepared ahead of time for a sunset fight scene. They wait for the actors to arrive before starting.

Before getting out of the car, Yun Shuiyao walks to Yun Mu's seat, stretches, and says, "I'm tired from traveling all day, you can go in my place for the afternoon fight scene. Oh, and the shooting time is 6 PM."

Yun Mu looks at the time, "According to the length of daylight here, the sun sets before 6 PM."

Yun Mu is just a stunt double, so the crew usually doesn't specifically notify her about shooting times.

But today's scene requires twilight, which is absolutely impossible at 6 PM.

"What, do you have a problem with the director's schedule? Or do you want to slack off?" Yun Shuiyao sneers, "It would be nice if you had some professionalism as a stunt double."

Yun Mu narrows her eyes and carefully examines Yun Shuiyao's features, then suddenly says, "I never noticed before, but your eyes seem different than they used to be..."

Yun Shuiyao's face changes abruptly, "What's different? It's just a different makeup. Remember the time, don't delay everyone's progress."

After saying this, Yun Shuiyao walks into her dressing room with her handbag.

Yun Mu watches her back, her eyes turning cold.

Dinner.

Wen Qingqing carries a food box around looking for Yun Mu among the actors and staff, but can't find her.

She begins to panic.

The assistant director steps forward and asks, "Miss Wen, what's wrong?"

"Have you seen Yun Mu? Why didn't she come back with you guys after shooting this afternoon?"

The assistant director is puzzled, "Yun Mu wasn't with us today, Yun Shuiyao did all the fight scenes herself, she said she wanted to do everything herself."

Wen Qingqing's expression changes, "How could that be? She went over at half past five this afternoon."

"But we finished shooting by half past five," the assistant director says.

Wen Qingqing shakes her head, "No, Yun Shuiyao said the shooting would start at 6 PM in the evening..."

Suddenly, Wen Qingqing realizes.

"It must be Yun Shuiyao!"

She rushes to Yun Shuiyao's dressing room, kicking the door open with surprising strength.

"Wen Qingqing, are you crazy?"

Sudan looked at Wen Qingqing, who had stormed in with a murderous look, in surprise.

But Wen Qingqing ignored her and glared straight at Yun Shuiyao with her round eyes. "Why did you lie to Yun Mu? You said you wanted to rest and asked Yun Mu to replace you for the 6 PM shoot."

Yun Shuiyao had just finished removing her makeup and was having dinner. Hearing this, she calmly raised her gaze. "Did you hear wrong? Everyone saw that I did my own scenes today."

"You're lying!"

"Do I have any reason to lie?" Yun Shuiyao said confidently. "I heard you shouting earlier. Let me advise you: Instead of arguing with me here, you should find someone as soon as possible."

An Junshan wasn't around today, and the assistant director was indecisive. He glanced at the dark surroundings.

"How can we search now that it's dark? There's a large forest inside. We probably won't be able to find our way around."

Qin Ming suggested, "I'll call the rescue team right away."

"How long will we have to wait for the rescue team? There are landmines and wild animals inside. What will happen to Yun Mu alone?" The more Wen Qingqing thought about it, the more terrified she became. Immediately, she said, "If you won't go, I'll search for her myself!"

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" The assistant director immediately held her back.

At that moment, a staff member hurried over.

"There's a man outside claiming to be the president of the Emperor Group. He says he's looking for Yun Mu."

Huo Tingying?

Everyone present was surprised.

Yun Shuiyao stood up abruptly.

In the next moment, they saw Huo Tingying, dressed in a black coat and with an imposing figure, following a staff member.

"Where's Yun Mu?" Huo Tingying's gaze fell directly on Wen Qingqing.

Wen Qingqing suddenly felt reassured. Her eyes reddened, and she choked out, "Something happened to Yun Mu! She went into the forest for filming this afternoon and hasn't returned yet."

The man's eyes turned sharp instantly.

Huo Tingying was well aware of what getting lost in the border forest meant.

Fear flashed across his eyes, and his body tensed. "Where did she get lost? I'll find her!"

Yun Shuiyao immediately stopped him. "Do you want to die? There are minefields inside, and it's pitch-black at night. One misstep and you're dead!"

Even without landmines, entering such a vast dense forest at night was fraught with danger.

"Give me a specific location," Huo Tingying said calmly.

Wen Qingqing immediately told Huo Tingying where they had filmed that afternoon.

Huo Tingying's deep eyes looked toward the depths of the forest.

In the next moment, he snatched a flashlight from a staff member, took a step, and walked toward the forest.

Yun Shuiyao chased after him in alarm. "Huo Tingying, come back!"

But Huo Tingying quickly disappeared into the inky darkness.
