mr frank is faithful to love

(FR. Hilde Frank)

I took a long vacation and didn't go to work these days. I slept for two hours last night, and when I woke up, I saw Ethan's message on the Internet.

But this is not good news. The headline of the news reads "Frement: RawMeat lead singer Zuo Boyao exposed to fraudulent marriage".

And just last night, I received a meeting message from the person who kidnapped Ethan, at six o'clock this evening, at a restaurant next to an abandoned factory in Changping.

When Ms. Zuo called me, she was very emotional. She said: "This is all premeditated. The person who called you is definitely from the Yuan family."

"You said that the Yuan family couldn't—"

"Changed my mind now."

"Then what should I do?" I know that Ethan is in a bad situation now, but I still haven't been able to see his photos or videos. I asked, "Should I still go to see the kidnappers?"

"See you, sorry Frank, sorry."

Ms. Zuo is such a strong person, and she choked up again. I don’t want to hear her apology. I’m even willing to do everything I can for Ethan. It’s not like I have no hesitation. I can only say that this kind of willingness is warm and makes me want to cry. Also exhilarating.

"I wish I could help him, and I'd love to."

On this foggy morning, I was sitting by the window smelling the coffee, and weeping while talking on the phone with Ms. Zuo. I thought life and death were not close to me.

But right now, I'm most afraid of Ethan leaving me.

"Call the police," Ms. Zuo said to me. "The Yuan family doesn't want anything. They just want their lives. All we can do is gamble."

It's scary to meet outlaws, but it's even more terrifying to meet cunning outlaws.The kidnappers made everything vague, making it difficult to judge interests.

Just when Zuo Boyao was insulted because of the rumors spread widely on the Internet, Zuo Boyao's life was hanging by a thread.

Ms. Zuo contacted the media as quickly as possible, and released a draft with the title - "Zuo Boyao was suspected of being kidnapped and seeking revenge, and his life and death are uncertain."

"When you can't find the opponent's life gate, use the opponent's method to defeat him." Ms. Zuo told me.

My phone calls were blasted by Ethan's friends, but none of them were answered. I really don't want to bring up everything that happened these days.

I got a new email in my work mailbox, it was a video, and I was on my way home from the police station with my friend driving the car.

I gritted my teeth and clicked on the video that was less than ten seconds long with trembling fingers. Clicking on the screen happened in an instant, but I preset many situations that I would face next.

It's Ethan, and this is the first time I've seen him in five days.

In the picture, Ethan closed his eyes tightly, lying on a bed covered with light blue sheets, with deep red, dark blue, and purple wounds on his face, and his clothes were not properly dressed. At least in the picture, I couldn’t judge him What clothes are you wearing.

The video has no soundtrack, I cranked up the volume on my phone, but I still can't hear anything, not even a little noise.

"What's the matter? Is there any news? Are you okay?" The friend driving the car is Chinese. He used to be our company's legal counsel. After that, he stopped cooperating with us, but we have always been friends.

I asked him, "Can I kill someone?"

"No!" He thought I was going crazy.

I said, "I received a video and I can't see if he is breathing or alive. I don't know what to do now."

"Frank, the kidnapper has asked you to meet. At present, there is a high probability that he will not kill anyone. I understand that you are a little impulsive, but only reason can save lives. The rest will be dealt with by the law."

"You can't understand me."

"Take a break, really, you're really doomed if you fall ill, think about it, we are all anxious and want to save others, really."

I kept nodding my head. Later, this action seemed to lose emotion and become mechanical and dull. I didn't even dare to send the video to Ms. Zuo immediately.

Then, I sat in my friend's car and cried.

The fog still persisted. It was the first time I saw such a thick fog in Beijing for a long time. The kidnapper called after lunch and said, "You have called the police."

"No," I knew that the other party was very likely to cheat me, so I refused to admit it even if I called the police. I said, "I hope to hear Ethan's voice. I'm not sure if he is alive now."

The man on the other end of the phone was silent at first, and then smiled. He said, "Go online and look, I'm not the only one who wants to kill him."

I didn't expect that within a minute of this call, the other party would be easily exposed. Now I can be sure that it is indeed the people around Cen Lingyi who are doing bad things, or that it is her own doing bad things.

I said, "I want to hear his voice."

"Okay, I'll send you the recording."

"I want to hear it now. The recording cannot determine the time. I don't need it."

No one spoke at the other end, and then there was a small noise, there was a "clang" sound of metal hitting, and then there was a weak but clear breathing sound.

I can confirm, it's Ethan.

I asked, "Ethan, you should hear who I am, just answer yes and no."

"Hmm..." He was silent for a long time before he uttered a difficult and broken "hmm".

"Are you under threat of a weapon now?"

"No."

"Can you get enough to eat... Do you think, do you think your life can be temporarily guaranteed?"

"Yes Yes."

"Is the person beside you Yuan Yuzhe?"

"...No, no, no."

He suddenly became so anxious, as if he was afraid of something, and then the phone was hung up suddenly. I didn't care about anything else, so I quickly called Police Officer Dai who left the phone number, and I said, "Hello, I was kidnapped." Zuo Boyao's family members can now confirm that this matter has something to do with Yuan Jiang's daughter, Cen Lingyi, and Cen Lingyi's cousin Yuan Yuzhe."

Then, I provided the recording of the phone call to the police.

In a short period of despair, I told myself that I brought all these to Ethan, and if he found another girl to fall in love with after breaking up with Cen Lingyi, maybe he wouldn't arouse hatred.

I think, if he can live well, it doesn’t matter if I don’t have him anymore, I hope he will live that lawless life again, say what he wants to say, do what he wants to do, hate people who want to hate, even if I used to disagree with some of his habits.

I hope that being a star depends only on whether he likes it or not, instead of showing me that he is independent; I hope he reads when he wants to read, drinks when he wants to drink, and sleeps when he wants to sleep; I hope he I can't grow up all my life, I can't get rid of my mischievousness all my life, I've been sheltered all my life...

I hope a lot, the most I hope is that Ethan is alive.

In the afternoon, the police asked people from the Yuan family to contact Yuan Yuzhe, but the call was rejected, and Cen Lingyi's answer after being questioned was: I don't know anything about it.
