I'm not a theatre god

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Wen Shilin was wandering anxiously in a remote factory building.

He was the only one in the empty factory building. There were no residents around, and there were only a few scattered lights in the distance. Everything was quiet... except Wen Shilin's heart, but he couldn't calm down.

"Why hasn't Lin Yan come back yet...Is there something wrong when he doesn't know how to kidnap people?"

"Did you strike too lightly and was discovered?"

"Or was he seen dragging three people back and reported to the law enforcement?"

"This is probably the first time Lin Yan has done this kind of thing. He has no experience, so there is a high possibility of something going wrong... Hey, blame me for insisting on asking him to kidnap someone. Doesn't this make him break the law?!"

"No, this happened to me. I have to go get him out."

Wen Shilin struggled for a long time, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he immediately walked quickly to the door of the factory. At this moment, a figure dragged three sacks and walked slowly from a distance.

"Mr. Wen, where are you going?" Chen Ling raised her eyebrows in surprise when she saw Wen Shilin walking out in a hurry.

Wen Shilin was stunned for a moment when he saw him coming back safe and sound.

"I was worried that something might happen to you while you were kidnapping someone, so I wanted to take a look..."

Wen Shilin's eyes fell on the three sacks, "Did you succeed?!"

"Tie someone up, what could happen?"

Chen Ling waved her hand casually and opened all the sacks. Only three figures with cloth strips stuffed in their mouths and their hands and feet tied tightly were lying in them, unconscious. It was Xin Youquan, Qiu Dong, Wang Yuning and three others.

Wen Shilin's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Chen Ling actually succeeded in capturing the three of them, and successfully transported them here while avoiding the sight of others...

"How did you do it?" Wen Shilin couldn't help but ask.

Chen Ling said casually: "I just hid on their way to get off work as usual, knocked them unconscious while no one was around, then borrowed a truck to pull goods and came over... Don't worry, no one noticed them on the way."

For Chen Ling, it would not be difficult to kidnap three ordinary people. He could even do it more simply and directly. However, considering that he could not make Wen Shilin suspicious, he tried his best to restrain himself.

Wen Shilin nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

As they spoke, the two of them carried the people in the sacks into the factory. Wen Shilin looked at the three people lined up on the ground. They showed no signs of waking up even after being tortured like this. He turned around and asked Chen Ling:

"Did you hit them hard when you struck? Why don't they wake up?"

"...I don't know about this. It's my first time to hit someone, and I can't predict the strength." Chen Ling shook her head in confusion.

"Hey... okay."

"How about we get a basin of water and wake them all up?"

"Forget it, we are not robbers. We kidnapped them just to ensure their safety." Wen Shilin glanced at the sleeping people, "Anyway, we have time, just wait for them to wake up slowly."

Chen Ling narrowed her eyes slightly but didn't say much.

At this moment, Wen Shilin seemed to remember something and walked quickly outside the factory.

"What's wrong?"

"I have to go back. The camera is still at home... Without the camera, there is no way to take photos of the three of them. There is no evidence for the interview."

Chen Ling glanced at the sky outside and frowned slightly. He hesitated for a moment and then spoke:

"Give me the key and I'll get it."

Wen Shilin was about to say something, but Chen Ling jumped in and said, "They should be waking up soon. If I stay here, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat them."

"Why?"

"They hollowed out a child with their own hands last night...just like they hollowed out my brother."

Wen Shilin was stunned, and the factory suddenly fell into silence.

Chen Ling took the key from his hand and walked outside the factory alone, her figure gradually disappearing into the night.

Looking at Chen Ling's leaving figure, Wen Shilin's expression suddenly became complicated. He turned back to look at the three unconscious figures on the factory floor, wondering what he was thinking.

A few minutes later.

Wow——!

A basin of cold water was poured on the three of them, almost freezing them into popsicles in this cold night.

They suddenly woke up from their coma and saw the surrounding factory buildings and Wen Shilin standing silently in front of them with an empty bucket, their eyes full of astonishment and shock.

"It's you?!"

"You kidnapped us?! What do you want to do?"

"Damn it! You are breaking the law!!"

Amid the panicked shouts of the three, Wen Shilin threw the empty bucket aside with a dull thumping sound. He raised his hand and pulled open the professional tie at the collar of his shirt... looking down at the three of them with cold eyes.

"Next, I will conduct an in-depth interview with you..."

"The content of this interview will determine your fate. If you cooperate, the public and the law will punish you. If you don't cooperate...

"I will punish you for that kid, do you understand?"

…

Under the moonlight, Chen Ling, wearing a brown coat, walked into a low residential building.

Chen Ling is no stranger to Wen Shilin's home. Just this morning, he came to deliver a body... This place is undoubtedly much better than the residences in the third district, but compared with other places in Aurora City, it is like It's as cramped and crowded as a slum.

The reason why Chen Ling is unwilling to let Wen Shilin come back alone is because he is worried that the people behind the hospital will find out that they are checking things that they shouldn't and will send people to stop them... Chen Ling herself is not afraid. One, but if Wen Shilin is injured, the progress of the investigation will be slowed down.

Fortunately, looking at the situation near this residential building, there is nothing unusual for the time being.

The residents here should have been asleep at this moment, and the entire corridor was extremely quiet. Chen Ling walked up to the fourth floor and found that there were not many residents on this floor. Most of the rooms were still in a rough state, or had no signs of being inhabited for a long time.

Chen Ling went straight to the door of the innermost room, opened the door quietly and walked in.

"It's messier than expected..."

Chen Ling glanced at the slightly messy room in front of her. The walls were full of clipped news items, unpublished article paragraphs, and photos secretly taken from unknown sources. At first glance, they looked very much like Chen Ling's previous life. The secret agent room seen in the movie.

However, this fits the image of Wen Shilin, an older single man. Apart from news, he seems to have no other interests in life.

Chen Ling quickly found the camera in the house, closed the door and left. Just when he reached the corner of the corridor, slight footsteps came from the stairs on the next floor.

Da da da……

[Audience Expectation Value +5]

The footsteps were steady and light, and they were walking slowly from the third floor to the fourth floor. When he heard the sound, Chen Ling was slightly startled, and then several thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning!

He quickly raised his hand and reached for his chin...

When he walked around the corner and came to the corridor, he had turned into a middle-aged man in his thirties, holding a briefcase in one hand and walking down the stairs from the fourth floor.

Through the moonlight in the corridor, Chen Ling finally saw the figure going upstairs clearly. It was a pale man with a hunchback like a hunchback. He walked with his head lowered and seemed listless.

On his back, a strange paper man with red eyes was lying there quietly, motionless.
