Chapter 331: Chapter 331: A Very Important Person (2) Chapter 331: Chapter 331: A Very Important Person (2) Bai Lingyun’s bodyguards began ushering people out, and the journalists, with their keen senses, sniffed out something unusual.
As witnesses to the whole ordeal, everyone knew something must have happened at the venue–it was an exceedingly urgent phone call.
Otherwise, Bai Lingyun wouldn’t have abandoned all the journalists in such a moment, in full public view.
Thinking it could be a big story, not a single person wanted to leave.
Far from leaving, they even tried to take the opportunity to squeeze into the venue to see what was really going on.
“The venue is off limits now, please everyone leave this area.”
Someone noticed another female star coming out, seized the chance, and shook off Bai Lingyun’s bodyguard to rush forward.
It didn’t matter who it was; for now, the reason to approach the venue was enough.
Besides, they were there to interview others–what right did Bai Lingyun’s bodyguards have to chase them away?
When Bai Lingyun entered the venue, his assistant made several phone calls but was still at a loss.
In such a highly publicized event, how to disperse the crowd and search for someone was a puzzle.
Not to mention himself, even if the event organizers wanted to do it without drawing journalists’ attention, that would be a big challenge.
“Mr. Bai, it’s difficult to disperse them.”
Bai Lingyun’s eyebrows lifted sharply as he entered the safety corridor and slapped the wall; the fire alarm started blaring.
Suddenly, everyone still inside the venue, who had not completely dispersed, began to rush towards the exits.
That was… amazingly efficient.
“Trouble dispersing?” Bai Lingyun, with a hint of cunning, “Learn something.”
The assistant wept, knowing that fabricating a fire alarm could only go unpunished for someone of his status.
If it had been anyone else, for such a big incident, they’d likely be taken to the police station immediately.
“All right, start the search immediately. There might be a girl here who’s been drugged. Check all the rooms.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Wanwan was still worried.
She had just run out of the building when she encountered Gu Annan returning.
Lu Wanwan immediately pulled Gu Annan and stuffed the car keys she brought into his hand, “Drive to the Golden Sunflower Award venue. Xu Yuan is in trouble.”
Gu Annan took off the coat he was wearing and handed it to Lu Wanwan, “Put this on.”
She didn’t even have time to change, and had run out in her pajamas.
The two quickly got into the car, and after hearing Lu Wanwan’s story, Gu Annan first called Shao Zhiheng.
“I’ve called three times, all temporarily unavailable. Aren’t they together? I heard Xu Yuan say she was going to a party with Shao Zhiheng, but why is she still at the venue?”
Gu Annan frowned, “I don’t know, but she should be fine.”
He tried calling Ji Shaoyang again, who said he had gone to the party long ago and Shao Zhiheng hadn’t shown up.
Just as he was about to reach out to others, Zhao Chen called.
“Where is Shao Zhiheng?”
“Mr. Gu, I haven’t been able to get through to Mr. Shao either, but people are looking for him. They’re handling the situation at the venue, but…”
“There are no ‘buts’. Resolve this matter immediately.”
Zhao Chen thought it over; someone was already addressing the situation, someone Mr. Gu might not be pleased to hear about.
But priorities were priorities, and Miss Lu was worried about her friend–it was only natural to try everything possible.
This wasn’t the time to mention that.
The car sped all the way, and as they were getting close, Zhao Chen called again.
“Mr. Gu, no need to worry, we’ve found the person.”
Gu Annan was on the phone, just about to assure Lu Wanwan she could relax, when her own phone rang too.
