Chapter 341: Chapter 319: Something Happened
Ji Xizhi hurriedly asked, “Which family? What’s the name?”
But by the time the news reached Director Wang, it was already quite vague, and Director Wang could barely remember the people from Xianyu Village, let alone know what’s happening in the neighboring village.
Director Wang: “Not too sure, is it Su? Or Sun?”
Director Wang had just finished speaking.
Ji Xizhi had already rushed out ahead.
Outside, the twilight was deep, and at this time the sky was still an endless black night.
With the incident happening in the neighboring village, several villagers from Xianyu Village who had boats also set out to help.
The entire coastline was lit up by everyone’s flashlights, some set sail, some rowed in rubber dinghies, and the rest walked along the shore with flashlights lighting the way.
Ji Xizhi ran all the way to the seaside, and when she heard people around shouting Sun Qianqian’s name one after another, her guess was finally confirmed.
It really was Sun Qianqian!
Sun Qianqian was in trouble!
Ji Xizhi stood by the sea, watching the villagers helping in the search as they chanted and looked for her.
“Qianqian, Qianqian———”
“What’s making this child lose hope! Old Sun’s family really is too sinful!!!”
“Oh please, don’t say that, Aunt Sun is crying at home now, saying Qianqian took the boat and ran off on her own!”
“Yeah, but wasn’t it just some scolding from her parents, how could she do such a thing, look at how many people are out looking for her! Really unfilial, so immature…”
Ji Xizhi looked over at the muttering villagers and frowned.
Based on Old Sun’s family’s usual interactions with Sun Qianqian, it’s definitely not just about some scolding, but such “scolding” to them doesn’t outweigh filial duty.
But after all, everyone is genuinely trying to help find her. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
Ji Xizhi took the initiative to approach and inquire among a few of them.
“Auntie, has Old Sun’s family reported Sun Qianqian’s disappearance to the police?”
The few aunties were from Xianyu Village, and they all recognized Ji Xizhi’s face.
As soon as Ji Xizhi opened her mouth to ask, the aunties’ loud chatting instantly quieted down.
Ji Xizhi: “…”
She helplessly spoke again, “Talking to me won’t get fined two hundred, if Director Wang fines you, I’ll reimburse you later.”
At this point, the Life Experience crew didn’t even know if they could continue filming, she just didn’t believe Director Wang still cared about these things now.
The aunties burst into smiles as soon as they heard Ji Xizhi say this.
“Well, okay, as long as you can reimburse! You big stars wouldn’t go back on your word, right?”
“How could we, besides, she’s alone now, there’s no filming crew, the leaders wouldn’t know we spoke to her.”
“Right, girl, report or not… it seems when we came out, we didn’t hear that Old Sun’s family reported it.”
“They didn’t report, Old Sun said maybe it was just a girl being playful, everyone helps find her, and if she’s not found by tomorrow, then call the police to search.”
Hearing this, Ji Xizhi understood what was going on.
Without another word, she turned around and headed back towards the Life Experience crew’s small cabin.
She had left in a hurry and didn’t bring her phone.
But luckily, halfway there, Ji Xizhi met Director Wang and a few other guests from the crew who had come out to help search.
With something like this happening, everyone was basically awake, and seeing Director Wang going out to assist, a few guests decided to come out and search as well.
Ji Xizhi ran into them on the way, borrowed a phone from Director Wang, and reported Old Sun’s missing person incident to the police.
Sun Qianqian vanished in the middle of the night, possibly trying to commit suicide.
No matter the case, it was necessary to call the police first; waiting until the next morning might be too late.
Ji Xizhi skillfully finished the police report, then borrowed Director Wang’s wallet.
Ji Xizhi: “Director Wang, I need to catch a boat to check out the first scene, lend me some money, I’ll repay you later.”
Director Wang: “…”
He looked at Ji Xizhi with her proficient demeanor, eyes wide open.
Ji Xizhi thought for a bit, then added another sentence.
“And just now, when I was gathering information from villagers, remember not to fine someone those two hundred bucks.”
Director Wang: “…” Making a mental note of the 108th time he regretted thinking about fining the villagers, he must have had water in his brain back then.
Director Wang waved his hand wildly at Ji Xizhi: “Take your wallet and go! Go go go go go!!”
The accompanying PD who rushed out with Director Wang listened to the conversation between Ji Xizhi and Director Wang, and only a line appeared in his mind——you must pay back eventually when you’re out and about.
The PD picked up the handheld camera at hand, looking for people and filming behind-the-scenes footage at the same time without delaying either!
Now that there are so many people in the village already helping to search, and Ji Xizhi has called the police, everything that could be done by everyone was nearly done, and if needed later, he could put the camera aside anytime, and even use it to search with zooms, how convenient it sounded, and filming some extra scenes for the program now didn’t affect.
The PD was dutiful and diligent.
On Ji Xizhi’s end, she was more anxious than everyone else from the crew.
Towards Sun Qianqian, she always felt a kind of connection as if seeing the original self, as if there was some kind of fetter in the invisible, especially hearing about jumping into the sea for suicide, it made Ji Xizhi’s heart wrench.
She must save her!
Ji Xizhi finished the police report, took Director Wang’s money, found a boat at the seashore to search, and paid two hundred for the boat to take her to Old Sun’s as well.
As soon as she reached the seaside, the first boat she ran into happened to be Li Songling and Li Songting’s father’s.
Mr. Li had already been searching at the seaside for a while, and upon seeing Ji Xizhi, he didn’t charge any money, directly took Ji Xizhi on board, and sent her over.
Xianyu Village isn’t far from Old Sun’s, Ji Xizhi arrived by boat, then walked a bit into the village, and reached the entrance of Old Sun’s.
At the courtyard of the high-rise mansion, with lights blazing brightly, as soon as Ji Xizhi reached the entrance, she saw quite a few people gathered in Old Sun’s courtyard.
