The Best Actor and the Non-Captive Canary

Chapter 39

Ling Mu hid in the bathroom for the third time and took out his phone to unlock it, but there was still nothing on the screen.

If Yan Qiujing was filming when he called for the first time and didn't receive a call, it's impossible for him not to call back when he sees a call during filming.

He pressed the dial button and put the phone to his ear, as expected, there was still a cold female voice in the receiver:

"Hi, the number you dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later—"

"Ling Mu." There was a knock on the bathroom door, and Yuan Lai urged, "Hurry up, let's go."

Ling Mu lowered his head and looked at the calling interface on the phone, feeling a sudden uneasiness in his heart. He frowned, his lips were pursed into a line, and his hand holding the phone unconsciously tightened.

Xiaolin took Yan Qiujing's cell phone that had just stopped ringing and paced anxiously outside the ward.From noon to now, Yan Qiujing only woke up once, and the anesthesia hadn't passed. After waking up and saying "Don't tell him", she fell asleep again.

Just when Xiao Lin was at a loss what to do, the cell phone in her pocket also rang. Seeing the caller number, she panicked for a moment, gritted her teeth and answered, "Brother Mu?"

"Where's Yan Qiujing?" Ling Mu's cold voice came, with undeniable oppression in his tone: "Tell him to answer the phone."

"Well, Brother Jing, he, he hasn't started the show yet," Xiaolin said, "It's the big night show, I don't know what time it will be filmed..."

Ling Mu snorted coldly: "Shooting all day? Don't even have time to eat?"

Xiaolin felt his heart pounding when he hummed, and said bravely, "Ah...it's been hard work..."

Ling Mu was anxious and his tone was not very good, too lazy to go round and round with her and asked directly, "What's wrong with Yan Qiujing."

She croaked like a mosquito trying to fool her: "It's okay, brother Jing is fine..."

Hearing this, Ling Mu's head burst into flames, he couldn't control his anger and growled, "What's wrong with him!"

After being yelled at by her sister-in-law who had always been quiet and polite in front of them, Xiaolin was a little dazed, and she did all the tricks without paying attention.

After hanging up the phone, she murmured: "It's over, I can't keep my job."

...falling from high altitude...slight coma...thoracic spine fracture...

Ling Mu didn't remember how he finished listening to these words, nor how he hung up the phone.His mind was blank, he only felt a biting chill creeping up his heart, and he couldn't help but want to shudder.Ling Mu bit his lower lip, his face turned pale, he tried hard to restrain his trembling body, but the coldness swallowed him whole.

He slowly squatted down against the wall, buried his face in his knees and hugged his cold body tightly.

It wasn't until the knock on the door sounded again that Ling Mu suddenly came back to his senses. He stood up abruptly. When he stood up, he became dizzy due to the lack of oxygen in his brain, and his eyes went dark for a moment.But he ignored it and staggered a few steps to open the door.

Yuan Lai who was outside the door was startled when he saw his face, hurriedly stepped in and closed the door with his backhand, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Ling Mu's eyes were red, but there was no trace of blood on his lips: "I'm going to City A."

"Now?" Yuan Lai took the mobile phone from his hand to check the flight, and said, "The nearest flight is tomorrow morning."

"I have to go now." Ling Mu pressed his sore eyes, and repeated: "Whether it's the train or the bus, I have to go now."

Yuan looked at him for a while, then sighed resignedly: "Okay, it seems that my wife and I will not be able to burn any fire tonight with dry wood."

Eleven at night.

Except for Chen Mian, who planned to sleep in the dormitory for a long time during the holidays, a group of five people escaped the surveillance and slid down the water pipe from the window outside the bathroom on the second floor of the training building. Yuan Lai led them into a path that they had never noticed before. While walking, he whispered: "There is a blind spot for surveillance in this place, we have to climb over the wall to get out later, so keep your voice down and don't invite the security guards."

"How did you find this place?" Li Yangxu asked curiously.Yuan Lai smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

Yuan Lai said this very lightly, and when he reached the first few people, they were all dumbfounded when they saw the two-person-high wall.

"Fuck, so tall?" Zhao Chengze stared in disbelief and said, "How did this turn around?"

"Squat down, let me step on it." Yuan Lai said to him.

He stepped on Zhao Chengze's shoulders, pressed his hands against the wall, borrowed a little strength from his arms, then sat up easily, and proudly said: "so easy."

"It's so high...yes, are you going to jump?" Wang Le took a step back in horror, and hurriedly said: "I'll stay in the dormitory to cover you, you go..."

Yuan Lai rushed out of the wall and laughed, said something in a low voice, then turned to them and urged, "Hurry up!"

Wang Le refused to turn over what he said, so he had to give up.Ling Mu and Li Yangxu followed closely behind and rolled up. Before they could sit still, they saw Yuan Lai leaping gracefully, and with a muffled sound of "dong", he had already landed on the wall and stopped. On the roof of a black Cayenne.

Standing by the side of the car was a gentle and tall man, looking at the hole on the roof that Yuan Lai jumped out of, he said helplessly: "Be gentle, ancestor."

"Help me off the horse." Yuan Lai handed over a hand.

"...Hey." The man took his hand and carefully helped him jump out of the car.

When Zhao Chengze stepped on Wang Le's swaying shoulders and turned up, the two people on the wall still didn't move, and they seemed to be hesitant.

Yuan Lai raised his head and said to them after his feet hit the ground, "What are you dawdling about, come down quickly."

Ling Mu looked uncertainly at the car below, and waited for the man to say with a smile, "Step on, it's okay." Then he lightly stepped on the roof of the car and jumped off.

When the four of them were all on the ground, the man smiled politely at them and said, "Hi, I'm Yuan Lai's brother..."

"Brother's fart," Yuan Lai rolled his eyes at him, raised his hand and hooked his neck and said to them, "I'm dating."

The man was startled, then he helped his forehead and said weakly: "... Please keep it a secret."

Regarding the matter that the daughter-in-law Yuan Lai talked about every day suddenly turned into a big man, Zhao Chengze and Li Yangxu looked at each other, and at the same time they read shock from each other's eyes.Ling Mu, who was so engrossed in Yan Qiujing, couldn't tell the surprise from his heart, so he just nodded and said, "Hello, I'm Ling Mu."

The man smiled and stretched out his hand to him: "I have long admired your name, Shu Qinglang."

Yuan Lai knew that Ling Mu didn't like physical contact with people, and he didn't want to embarrass Shu Qinglang, so he stretched out his hand to catch his hand and clasped his fingers, glared at him and said, "Changxing City, you dare to touch people under my nose hand?"

He pulled Shu Qinglang's hand towards the side of the car and said: "Get in the car, get in the car, for whom are you standing here for the cold wind?"

After getting in the car, Shu Qinglang turned sideways to help Yuan Lai, who was in the passenger seat, fasten his seat belt as if there was no one else. Yuan Lai asked, "Where did you come from on that route?"

He started the car, looked at the rearview mirror and reversed the car, and sighed: "The boys from the criminal investigation department researched it from your live camera."

The car drove into the urban area, put Zhao Chengze and Li Yangxu down, and drove towards the highway.

Ling Mu sat in the back seat and looked out the window, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Yuan Lai originally wanted to say something polite, but when he turned his head, he glanced at Shu Qinglang who was driving, thought for a while and then laughed: "It's quite troublesome. How about this? Did your Yan Qiujing make a horror movie last year?" It was banned, and it was said to be in the news because it was too bloody and violent? Go back and send me a copy."

Ling Mu didn't look back, and replied flatly, "Yes."

Ling Mu tilted his head to look at the lights flashing outside the window from time to time, his eyes were a little dull.He didn't know what he was thinking, or he didn't think about anything. It wasn't until Yuan Lai mentioned Yan Qiujing that he realized that he hardly dared to think about what was going on with Yan Qiujing now.

Ling Mu felt as if a hand had squeezed his heart fiercely, and even his stomach convulsed.

It hurts.

But he sat motionless like a clay sculpture, in a daze, and he couldn't even think of rubbing his twisted and aching stomach.

The front seat suddenly handed over a box of toilet paper, Yuan Lai didn't make a sound, and didn't look back.

Ling Mu stared at the tissue box stretched out in front of him in a daze, something slipped across his face when he lowered his eyes, dripping onto the tissue, and he realized that his face was a little wet.He took a few tissue papers and pressed them on his eyes, more tears fell silently from his eye sockets.
