The Best Actor's Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! Chapter 123 Please Give Us A Little Bit More Time

Murong Ye's words were brittle cold. His usual cold aura was now incisive and vivid. It was as threatening as the G.o.d of Death when He asked for one's life.

Instantly, the Head of Security found his forehead to be covered in sweat. His face turned as pale as a piece of paper and his legs became jelly. His heart was thumping like crazy, as if ten thousands of horses were galloping in it. His hands were trembling so much as if they were sifting chaff. He was so terrified, no words were coming out from his mouth.

The Princ.i.p.al had definitely dealt with important people before, so he performed better than the Head of Security. He answered quickly, "We will definitely try our best and put in all of our efforts." Then, he turned and rushed the Head of Securit. "Why aren't you going yet? Hurry!"

Receiving the Princ.i.p.al's reminder, the Head of Security quickly nodded in response. Then, he led his team and ran out of the door.

The Princ.i.p.al still had some reservations. He wiped away the sweat on his forehead and consulted Murong Ye, "Umm... Master Murong, if you don't have further instructions for me, then I'll go and join the searching team too. I don't feel confident about the way they do things."

"Fine, hurry and scramble away!" The impatience in Murong Ye's tone was too obvious; anyone could tell that he was on the verge of becoming terrifying. On this day, Murong Ye lost control again and the fact that he made it known annoyed himelf even more.

The Princ.i.p.al quickly turned and left. He did not dare to stay for one more second. Murong Ye had become too terrifying. The Princ.i.p.al had a unique experience of staying with the 'tiger'.

Murong Ye took out his phone and dialed a series of numbers quickly. "Second, send all of your men to University Z right now. Pa.s.s on the message to Little Three and Little Five as well."

On the other side of the phone, Second was startled. What happened? Why were the three of them and their men needed at the same time?

After hanging up, Murong Ye called Gong Yu. "h.e.l.lo? Where are you?"

"I've just gotten off the plane from City D, why?" Gong Yu lowered his baseball cap even further. He had been doing promotions with the crew recently and had gained popularity again. He did not want to be bombarded by fans at the airport. Thinking about the fact that he had not seen Yun Muxi for half a month, he could not help but look forward to seeing her again. "Should I go find her directly?"

"Did Xiao Xi call you? Or did anything happen between the both of you?" Murong Ye was careful with his words as he asked.

"What do you mean? I've been promoting the movie recently and have not seen Xiao Xi for more than half a month. Did something happen to her?" Gong Yu was sensitive and figured out the unusualness in Murong Ye's words. His heart started shriveling up and he stood frozen on the ground.

Seventh Brother saw that Gong Yu was not moving and stretched out his hand to pull him. "Hurry up, it'll be troublesome if the fans see you and come swarming over."

Gong Yu started walking again. But this time, his footsteps were obviously more hurried and showed a hint of panic.

"How does Xiao Xi go home? Is there any special..." Murong Ye turned and scanned the people in the monitoring room. There was only a security guard who was continuously scanning the monitor and two other men from his side.

Gong Yu could feel the unusualness in Murong Ye's behavior. He asked anxiously, "Why are you asking this? Did something happen to Xiao Xi?"

Murong Ye's gaze was still fixated onto the monitor. He was thinking if he should break the news to Gong Yu now.

After waiting for a few seconds, Gong Yu had yet to receive a reply from Murong Ye. He instantly figured out that something must have happened to Xiao Xi. His heart became very uneasy. He could be sure that something must have happened to her, if not Murong Ye would not have called him. Although Murong Ye was on his side, they were not close to the extent that Murong Ye would call and check on his schedule out of concern, let alone just to ask this question.

"What exactly happened to Xiao Xi?" Gong Yu's tone exposed all of his emotions. He raised his volume at the end, giving Seventh Brother a scare.

Seventh Brother looked around warily and frowned at Gong Yu while warning him, "If you want to be stuck at the airport, continue shouting."

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi is missing!" Murong Ye finally decided to tell Gong Yu.

"What? How did that happen? I need the details!"

Murong Ye narrated the simplified version of the situation to Gong Yu. He paused for a while before asking him the question he had been holding back in his heart. "We've checked through all of the footage and did not find any trace of Xiao Xi. She has completely disappeared on campus. The school has now started a large-scale investigation and my men are also rushing here to a.s.sist. However, I'm worried that just like last time, she'd gone..."

Murong Ye carefully chose to stop before continuing. He believed that Gong Yu would understand what he meant.

Gong Yu did not even spend a second to think about it before rejecting Murong Ye's a.s.sumption. "She won't!"

"Why are you so sure?" Murong Ye was very confused at Gong Yu's certainty.

"Because Xiao Xi was always at her house... and the important thing is with me, so I'm sure. Xiao Xi must still be there." At this moment, Gong Yu had already walked out of the airport. He boarded the car quickly and explained simply, "I'm going to the school right now, notify me if there are any updates."

Murong Ye replied with a low voice and hung up the call.

If like what Gong Yu said, Yun Muxi did not disappear on her own, then the disappearing act must have been carried out by someone. Then who could have brought her away so seamlessly and have gone unnoticed?

The more Murong Ye thought about it, the darker his face became. His cold aura grew stronger, turning the monitoring room into an ice room. Seeing this atmosphere, the security guard and the two men could not help but shrink their neck in fear.

At this moment, a knock came from outside the door. Murong Ye replied with a cold voice, "Come in."

Second, Little Three and Little Five pushed open the door and walked in. Second kept his head lowered and said in a low voice, "Big Master, we have all arrived. Please give us your orders."

"Search all corners on campus. You must find Xiao Xi." Murong Ye issued a stern order.

The trio immediately answered, "Yes!"

"Second, stay behind. Little Three and Little Five, you two can go first." Murong Ye signaled to Little Three and Little Five with his hand and motioned Second to come over.

Second quickly came forward and Murong Ye whispered in his ear, "Go and check on the two old dudes' recent activities right now. Find out if there's anything strange. Inform me immediately when you find something. Remember, don't act rash and alert the enemy."

Second looked up and glanced at Murong Ye. He nodded and exited the monitor room.

At this moment, the whole campus was in an uproar. Everyone was looking at the chaotic campus in fear. The Princ.i.p.al had mobilized all resources and everyone was searching for Yun Muxi in every nook and cranny. Murong Ye's men were also searching with a 'by hook or by crook' att.i.tude. Those who knew Yun Muxi, as well as those who did not, were all curious about her huge background that managed to cause such a scene.

Of course, all social circles were in heated discussions across the school's Internet:

"Have you heard? The school alerted everyone that they're looking for a Year Four female."

"Oh, it's the genius from the School of Communication. She's called Yun Muxi. I was just asked by someone if I've seen her."

"What's her story? She's causing such a huge uproar."

"Who knows? She must be somebody big enough, otherwise, there won't be such chaos!"

"I heard that she's quite pretty!"

"Oh, a beauty? Then why didn't I know her? There's not a single beauty in school whom I do not know!"

"I have a senior who's in her cla.s.s. He said that she kept a low profile at school. She dresses ordinarily and wears a pair of ugly gla.s.ses. It was much later when people realized she was actually a beauty. Apparently, she was already like this since senior high school. She shocked the whole cla.s.s during graduation! Do you guys think she could have been raped and killed by that guy who liked her?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Even if he did kill her, they would have found the body."

"What if he divided the body into pieces or stuff like that?"

"You've watched too much TV!"

There were currently an overwhelming amount of speculations about Yun Muxi's disappearing act. Some guessed that her body was cut into pieces while some guessed that she was hiding in order to get attention. Some even guessed that she was kidnapped by other girls because of jealousy...

Anyways, everyone was full of ideas and there were all kinds of explanations. The Princ.i.p.al was too focused on finding Yun Muxi and had no time, nor energy, to deal with all these rumors.

The clock kept running. An hour pa.s.sed quickly. Yun Muxi was still not found. There was not a single news or trace about her.

At this moment, Murong Ye became even more anxious. He kept calling Second, Little Three and Little Five to check on updates. They had none for him.

Eventually, he picked up the internal phone in the monitoring room and dialed for the Princ.i.p.al's office. At the same time, the Princ.i.p.al was pacing back and forth in his room. He did not have the guts to report back to Murong Ye, but it was time to give him an answer. If he did not appear on time, Murong Ye would be even more p.i.s.sed. While he was still contemplating, the phone started ringing suddenly, scaring the s.h.i.t out of him. He stared at the urging call, which sounded like the G.o.d of Death calling for his life from the other end. His hands were shaking and he dared not pick it up. His heart was thumping so crazily he could hear it going "thump thump thump".

Just like that, he kept on hesitating, until the phone eventually stopped ringing. But soon enough, it started ringing again. He dared not hesitate any further and picked it up very decisively.

"How dare you not answer the phone!"

It was indeed the voice of the G.o.d of Death. The Princ.i.p.al instantly felt his scalp tingling and all of his hair standing up. He was so scared he almost threw the phone away.

He mustered up the courage and replied, "Master Murong, I don't have the courage to do that... there was some problem with the phone just now."

"Where is she! It's been an hour!"

"Master Murong, we are doing our best in searching. Please wait some more and give us a little bit more time. For sure, the campus is so big..."

"Time!" "The time that I'm giving you could probably be the time that Xiao Xi will get into an accident!"

"But... we've really tried!"

"I don't want to hear this, I just want the results!"

Before Murong Ye's voice fell, the big doors of the monitoring room were pushed open!
