1194 Jia Qiulian Has Disappeared!
Liang Zixuan had come out of the backstage area earlier. She raised her hand to check the time. 15 minutes had passed.
Logically, since there was a time delay, the host or Han Cihui as the director should be on the stage and explained it to everyone.
However, no one said anything about it now. This was a bit strange.
Liang Zixuan stood up and said to Fan Xiaobo with a smile, “Director Fan, please wait a moment. I’ll go backstage and take a look.”
“Okay, okay, go quickly.” Fan Xiaobo just sat down on Liang Zixuan’s seat, “If there’s anything you want to say, just say it. If you want to cancel the premiere, please let me know in advance.”
“Okay, don’t worry.”
Liang Zixuan picked up her bag and quickly went backstage.
When she entered, she saw that the situation was in chaos.
Han Cihui was holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, his eyes lit up like fire as he yelled into the walkie-talkie. “What, are you sure there’s no one there?”
.....
A staff member’s voice came over the walkie-talkie. “Director Han, there’s no one here. We’ve searched all over the place, but we haven’t seen anyone!”
“A grown-up woman just disappeared like that? What were you all doing at that time!”
Liang Zixuan walked over and pulled Han Cihui’s arm. Han Cihui turned around and saw that it was her, his expression softened a bit, but he still couldn’t suppress his anger. “Sister-in-law, why are you here?”
“Can’t I come here?” Liang Zixuan looked at the crowd running back and forth and said anxiously, “The premiere should have started already, and the people outside are getting impatient. Cihui, what happened? If the time is delayed, you still have to go outside to calm down the guests, reporters, and fans.”
“How can I still be in the mood for all of that!” Han Cihui became agitated. Even when he was facing Liang Zixuan, his voice suddenly became louder. He couldn’t help but shout, “Jia Qiulian has disappeared!”
“Jia Qiulian has disappeared?”
Liang Zixuan opened her eyes wide in shock and said in disbelief. “That can’t be! I was in the dressing room with her for a long time and only went out recently.”
Han Cihui scratched his head in annoyance. “Ten minutes ago, when I was about to ask the host to go on stage, Qiulian’s assistant came running to tell me that she had gone to the restroom and then disappeared!”
Gone to the restroom?
Liang Zixuan frowned. How could Jia Qiulian disappear as quickly as she had gone to the restroom?
The entire backstage was full of people from the Han Group, and who didn’t know Jia Qiulian? If something had really happened to her, surely someone would have told them!
Jia Qiulian’s assistant rushed over. The little girl was so frightened that she cried. “Director Han, I... I... I’ve been looking for her. I’ve been looking everywhere for her. I’ve even looked for her thoroughly in the restroom. But ... but I didn’t find Sister Jia.”
“Damn it!”
Han Cihui pushed Jia Qiulian’s assistant aside and walked aggressively toward the restroom. “I’ll go find her myself!”
Jia Qiulian’s assistant had said earlier that Jia Qiulian went to the restroom alone and she waited outside. She waited outside for a while, but she didn’t see Jia Qiulian come out, so she went inside to call her.
She kept watching outside the restroom. If Jia Qiulian had gone out or been kidnapped, she would have seen it for sure. But she didn’t. This proved that Jia Qiulian had never left the restroom!
Apart from the fact that Jia Qiulian played the female lead in the movie, she was also the screenwriter. There was no way the premiere could start!
Besides, with Jia Qiulian gone, Han Cihui’s entire body had collapsed. How could he care if the premiere was going to go smoothly?
The whole staff was in turmoil, but Liang Zixuan didn’t panic.
She pulled Jia Qiulian’s assistant, who was about to run after Han Cihui, and asked calmly, “When Jia Qiulian went to the restroom, did you see anyone else go in?”
“No.” The assistant sniffled and said with a sob, “I was standing outside and didn’t see anyone go in ....”
Nobody went in?
Could it be that Jia Qiulian had just disappeared?
Impossible!
No matter how Liang Zixuan thought about it, she felt that it was impossible. A big person just disappeared like that?
She also thought it was impossible for Jia Qiulian to intentionally use the restroom to escape the assistant’s eyes and then secretly left on her own.
Jia Qiulian had never been a person who acted recklessly. Besides, she was already married to Han Cihui, and now that her family and career were linked to him, wouldn’t it be a huge loss for her to run away at this critical moment?
When the assistant saw that Liang Zixuan had nothing more to ask, she pulled her hand back and ran to the restroom.
Liang Zixuan didn’t hesitate and followed her to the restroom.
There were a few staff members standing in front of the door of the restroom. Liang Zixuan ignored them and went inside.
When Qin Yu saw Liang Zixuan, it was as if she had seen her savior. She immediately pulled Liang Zixuan’s arm. “Auntie, Qiulian has gone missing!”
“I know.”
Liang Zixuan stared at Han Cihui, who was checking one door after another, and asked Qin Yu. “Did anything unusual happen to Qiulian when I left the dressing room?”
“Something unusual?”
Qin Yu frowned, thought seriously for a moment, and then shook her head. “No, after she finished putting on her makeup, she then got up and told her assistant that she wanted to go to the restroom.”
Speaking of which, Qin Yu pointedly asked Jia Qiulian’s assistant, “Xiao Fua, isn’t it like that?”
Xiao Fua nodded anxiously. “Yes, she wanted to go alone, but I insisted on accompanying her, and then we went here together.”
Originally it was an ordinary speech, but Liang Zixuan seemed to have grasped the essence of the matter. She suddenly asked. “Xiao Fua, has Jia Qiulian ever gone anywhere alone before?”
Xiao Fua instinctively shook her head. “That won’t happen. As an assistant, I’ve to follow the artist and do some small errands for her. That’s why wherever Sister Jia goes, I will follow her. Earlier, when she said that she wanted to go to the restroom alone, I insisted on going with her.”
The more Xiao Fua spoke, the more she felt that something had really happened. She was so frightened that she quickly closed her mouth.
Qin Yu seemed to realize something as she looked at Liang Zixuan with wide eyes.
Liang Zixuan nodded thoughtfully. “So there must be something wrong with Jia Qiulian. She deliberately tried to avoid Xiao Fua, and when Xiao Fua insisted on going with her, she might have used the window to leave the restroom.”
