Chapter 221 Stealing a Car
The two remained locked in a stalemate, while Feng Hui and Wang Weilin caught up.
As they approached, the two immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Wang Weilin nudged Lu Jie's shoulder and whispered, "Still haven't you calmed him down?"
Lu Jie lazily curled his lips, but didn't say anything.
Feng Hui and Wang Weilin exchanged a glance, then looked at Fang Li across from them. Upon seeing her, their expressions immediately changed, and they both frowned.
"you......."
Wang Weilin had noticed that Fang Li's back looked familiar before, and now that they were face to face, he recognized her instantly.
"Are you Fang Li?"
Seeing that she had been recognized, Fang Li no longer tried to hide it.
She turned to look at the two of them, a slight smile playing on her lips: "It's been a long time, you two."
Feng Hui looked at her with a surprised expression, then at Lu Jie, and gave a somewhat uncertain, dry laugh: "You, how could you... you're Young Master Lu's..."
"friend."
"girlfriend."
The two gave different answers, one after the other.
Lu Jie raised an eyebrow and looked at Fang Li.
Fang Li glared at him fiercely before explaining to Feng Hui and Wang Weilin, "Lu Shao and I are just ordinary friends, please don't misunderstand."
Unfortunately, despite her explanation, Lu Jie himself had already said it, so the two of them naturally believed Lu Jie more.
Fang Li denied it, but they just thought she was embarrassed or still angry with Lu Jie.
The two exchanged glances, smiled knowingly, and said nothing more.
After a while, Director Feng realized that standing there wasn't a good idea, and besides, it was already late, so he couldn't just stand there in the wind forever.
He then invited the two to have a late-night snack at their hotel, where they could talk about anything over a meal.
Fang Li didn't want to go and refused outright.
Lu Jie said that even if he didn't want to go, he still had to go to town first because his car was almost out of gas and he needed to find a gas station.
The film set was in the middle of nowhere, and Fang Li had no car and nowhere to go, so she had no choice but to follow Lu Jie to the town.
Upon arriving in town, Fang Li learned that the town was called Sunset Town.
This is actually a coastal town that not only preserves the most original lifestyle of fishing villages and fishermen, but also offers the most beautiful island sunset recognized by the entire internet.
The crew of "Piercing the Clouds and Seas" needs to film more than a dozen scenes here; they just arrived yesterday.
During this period, Song Yuchen and Yu Wei have been filming on set, and there hasn't been much news about them online. Fang Li hasn't been paying attention to them for a long time either.
To her utter surprise, the director and producer that Lu Jie brought her to meet turned out to be the same director and producer from Chuan Yunhai.
She also bumped into Song Yuchen by chance.
Fang Li was still speechless even after the car stopped at the largest hotel in town.
However, when she saw Lu Jie turn off the engine and prepare to get out of the car, her speechlessness turned into helplessness. "What are you going to do?"
Lu Jie: "Since we're already here, how about we go down and grab a bite to eat?"
This time, Fang Li couldn't hold back anymore and rolled her eyes at him directly.
Lu Jie laughed: "Why the long face? It's so late, aren't you hungry at all?"
"Lu Jie, when are you going to keep your word? You said you just came to town to refuel. Is it really that fun to lie to me?"
"Is this considered a scam? I was just inviting you to dinner because I was worried you were hungry. If you don't want to, I'll go up and talk to Director Feng and the others. Is that alright?"
Fang Li was so angry that she didn't say anything.
Lu Jie sighed helplessly, "Have you thought it through? You really don't want to go? They are well-known directors and producers in the industry. If you go, I guarantee they will cooperate with your studio."
Fang Li raised her eyes and glared at him coldly.
Lu Jie: "Okay, okay, I won't go, I won't go, alright? I'll go, I'll go tell them. You just sit in the car and wait for me to get off."
Fang Li lazily curled her lips: "Hurry up."
Lu Jie shook his head and got out of the car, muttering, "He doesn't even want such a good opportunity. He has such a bad temper. No wonder he gets along with Han Lao Er."
Soon, Lu Jie entered the hotel.
Fang Li then relaxed and moved closer to the seat.
It's already past midnight, and I have no idea what I've been up to all night.
Every time I run into Lu Jie, nothing good ever comes of it!
She stared angrily at the bustling hotel entrance. The film crew had just finished work, and many crew members were coming and going.
Song Yuchen rushed back to the hotel, washed up, grabbed his phone, and ran downstairs.
Downstairs, Fang Li inadvertently glanced at the car keys on the central console, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind.
As soon as Song Yuchen stepped out of the hotel, he saw Fang Li getting out of the passenger seat of the sports car, walking around the front of the car, and getting into the driver's seat.
He strode towards the sports car, about to call for help, when the next moment...
The sports car suddenly started, roared, and sped away in front of him.
After Lu Jie greeted Feng Hui and Wang Weilin, he came downstairs and saw an empty doorway with only Song Yuchen standing there.
"Where's my car?!"
Lu Jie was startled and turned to look at Song Yuchen, "Have you seen my car?"
Song Yuchen then turned around, his expression somewhat unreadable, and said, "It was driven away."
"Being..."
Lu Jie suddenly realized, looking at the empty street, and for the first time, he was so angry at a woman that he laughed.
OK!
As expected of Han Xi's woman, she's truly special!
How dare they steal his car?
Lu Jie stood there with his hands on his hips, sulking for a while, when suddenly he thought of something and a wicked smile flashed across his eyes.
He took out his phone, selected the photo he had taken earlier, and sent it directly to Han Xi.
After sending the message, he silently kept an eye on the time, calculating that Han Xi should have seen it. Just before the two-minute mark was up, he immediately clicked to recall the message, and then sent another message:
"Sorry, I sent it to the wrong person."
Soon, Han Xi called.
Lu Jie's slight displeasure was finally soothed. He watched with satisfaction as Han Xi's name kept flashing on the screen, but then he didn't answer.
He waited until the phone automatically hung up and rang again before slowly swiping his finger across the reject button.
The northern city at that time.
In the top-floor business suite of the hotel, Han Xi sat shirtless in the dark room.
A thin white blanket was draped around his waist, and his usually meticulously styled hair was loosely placed on his forehead. The bright white light from his phone screen shone on his face.
His sharp eyes held a deep, gloomy glint.
He had no social engagements tonight, so after finishing work, he took a shower and went to bed.
However, he has always had difficulty falling asleep, and when his phone rang, he was still awake with his eyes closed.
He thought it was Fang Li, but he didn't expect it to be Lu Jie.
Lu Jie's calculations were indeed accurate. Although it was only a little over a minute, it was enough for him to see the photo clearly.
So, Ali wasn't home?
Yang Miao told Aunt Rong that she was tired from work and went to bed early after dinner, but was she lying to him?
In the darkness, a surge of overwhelming anger welled up in Han Xi's eyes, and he immediately pulled out the home phone to make a call.
He stopped abruptly when his finger landed on it.
The anger in his eyes spread slightly, gradually giving way to a hint of tension and worry.
He paused for a moment, then immediately disconnected from the home phone and quickly dialed Fang Li's number.
Soon, a mechanical female voice came from the other end: "The user you dialed is temporarily unavailable."
Now, Han Xi's worry deepened.
Like a swift cheetah, he flipped out of bed, grabbed his clothes, dialed Jiangbei's number as he dressed, and went out the door.
Fang Li had completely forgotten to turn her phone's ringtone back on.
Driving Lu Jie's car away was an impulsive act on her part. She felt inexplicably relieved after driving it away, finally letting out some of the anger she had been holding in all night.
So you're letting that rich kid mess with her and waste her time, and you're not leaving?
Then she'll leave by herself!
She drove very fast, heading towards the highway toll station by instinct.
By this time, she had long forgotten what Lu Jie had told her to do her best.
We drove for about twenty minutes, following the coastal road, but we never saw a highway sign.
Looking at the dark road, Fang Li felt a little anxious.
But then the car's speed gradually decreased, and no matter how much she pressed the accelerator, she couldn't pick up the speed.
She suddenly remembered Lu Jie's words, looked down, and saw that the car's fuel gauge was flashing continuously.
Fang Li's heart skipped a beat; it was all over.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the car slowly came to a stop.
Fang Li tried pressing the start button, but the car only made two noises before becoming unresponsive, which angered her so much that she slammed her fist on the steering wheel.
With no light around, Fang Li then remembered to make a phone call.
She grabbed her phone and instinctively dialed Han Xi's number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Ah Li?"
"Han Xi!"
"Where are you?"
Fang Li was happy, but also a little flustered. She glanced around and said fearfully, "I don't know, I..."
"Hello? Hello? Ali?!"
"Hello? Han Xi!"
Snapped!
The phone screen suddenly went dark and shut down.
