The concert will be held as scheduled, one every night, and it will end in a week.

On the night of the first performance, the opening time was approaching, but Xu Weichen did not rush to the theater.He was following up a kidnapping case. The kidnapper only made one phone call two days after the hostage was kidnapped. After the victim chose to report the crime, the kidnapper remained silent.

At this time, Xu Weichen led a team to wait at the victim's house, and the monitoring equipment was operating silently, waiting for the kidnapper to call in, hoping to track the location.

"Boss, we've been staring at him for a day and a night, won't we wait in vain again tonight?" Bao Tie whispered in Xu Weichen's ear.

Xu Weichen looked at the time, "I think the kidnappers will call tonight."

"Hailey's first performance, are you really not going?" Bakugo asked again in a low voice.

Xu Weichen looked at the time again, and it was still 10 minutes away.He didn't even realize that he was keeping an eye on the time, and all these small details fell into the eyes of Bao Xi, so he asked that question.

Xu Weichen regretted not being able to watch Qiao Zilin's performance, but he had no choice but to run into work, of course it was important.

Suddenly, Xu Weichen found himself distracted by Qiao Zilin's performance, so he immediately restrained himself.At this time, the phone with the ringtone turned off vibrated. He saw that it was Qiao Zilin calling, so he quickly connected and walked aside.

"HAILEY, I have something to do now, I can't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to see your performance." Xu Weichen said in a low voice full of apology.

The phone was quiet for a few seconds, only Qiao Zilin let out a low oh, and then said it's okay, there will be opportunities in the future.

Xu Weichen felt a hint of disappointment from that gentle voice, and thought that he could only find a chance to make up for it in the future.

As time passed, the kidnapper finally called and told the amount demanded, as well as warning the victim again about the consequences of calling the police.

"Head, the time is too short to track."

Xu Weichen had just gestured beside the victim to delay the time, but the kidnapper was very cautious, quickly dropped a few words and closed the line.

After a few conversations with the subject, Xu Weichen ordered the group to close, and before leaving, he broke his tie and asked him quietly if he would go to the concert, maybe he could catch the end.

Xu Weichen looked at the time, turned his head and handed over to Xie Tianwei to take care of the rest of the work, and then rushed to Qiao Zilin's place.

But when they got to the place, the performance had already ended, and the crowd of people leaving the show gradually thinned out.Xu Weichen went to the backstage lounge while calling Qiao Zilin's cell phone, but no one answered.

I met KELVIN and the others on the way, and a group of people were talking and laughing as they walked out.Seeing Xu Weichen hurried over at this time, surprised voices kept coming and going.

"Hey, Xu Sir."

"Xu SIR, why is it so late, our performance is over."

"Hailey couldn't see you, and seemed to be absent-minded all night."

"Yeah, just now when the performance ended and I stepped off the stage, I felt a little uncomfortable."

"Uncomfortable?" Xu Weichen couldn't help becoming nervous, "What's the matter?"

"A little dizzy," KELVIN replied, "Maybe she's tired. During this time, besides rehearsing with us, she often practiced alone, and she also had to take care of the company's business."

"Thank you, I'll go take a look."

Xu Weichen said goodbye in a hurry, turned around and quickened his pace to the lounge. Before he opened the door and went in, he heard the conversation inside.

"How are you feeling better?"

"Much better, you can go."

Xu Weichen gently pushed open the door, just in time to see Qiao Zilin standing up from the chair, shaking her body, Guan Jiaming reached out and hugged her.

"Thank you." Qiao Zilin hurriedly pushed him away, looked up and saw Xu Weichen who had just walked in.

Qiao Zilin couldn't help but startled.

Under Guan Jiaming's complicated eyes, Xu Weichen walked quickly to Qiao Zilin, looked at her complexion, "I heard they said you're not feeling well, are you okay?"

"I was a little dizzy at first, but I'm fine now."

"It's better to see a doctor for a check-up and rest assured."

"This happened in the company two days ago. I went to check it. There is nothing wrong with it, but the blood pressure is a little low."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Qiao Zilin lowered her head and whispered, "I thought..."

Seeing that she stopped, Xu Weichen asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Qiao Zilin's face was ruddy, and she shook her head lightly, "It's nothing."

At this time, the driver of Qiao's family came, and he was slightly out of breath when he entered the door. "I'm sorry, Miss, I was in a car accident on the road just now, so I'm late."

"We just finished." Qiao Zilin smiled gently, then glanced at Guan Jiaming, and told the driver, "You can take Guan Sheng home."

"HAILEY," Xu Weichen pulled Qiao Zilin back and whispered, "You're not feeling well, you'd better go back by car, get some rest early, there's a performance tomorrow."

Qiao Zilin thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Before getting into the car temporarily, she suddenly turned around and looked at him with anticipation in her eyes, "Will you come tomorrow night?"

"Maybe I can't come." Xu Weichen replied apologetically.

Qiao Zilin's eyes darkened for a moment, "It's okay, there are still a few more games."

Xu Weichen couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so he promised without thinking too much, "I will definitely come to the last scene."

Qiao Zilin's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll remember, what you say must mean what you say." After speaking, she got into the car, pressed the window and waved to Xu Weichen.

Watching the car leave, Xu Weichen also stepped on the motorcycle. When putting on the helmet, he thought of the scene of Guan Jiaming holding Qiao Zilin, and his heart seemed to be filled with beer, with countless small bubbles bubbling out, slightly bitter and sour.

Next, Xu Weichen continued to be busy. The kidnapping case hadn't progressed yet, and the kidnappers were quiet again.Two nights later, the kidnappers called again, and the monitoring equipment was activated. Xu Weichen used gestures to remind the hostages' family members to delay the time as much as possible.

"Is the money ready?"

"You're asking for too much cash and it wasn't ready so soon."

"You dare to play with me?"

"No, no, tomorrow, tomorrow will be all together."

"..."

After the call ended, Xu Weichen immediately asked, "Are you sure about the location?"

"Head, sure."

"Let's go." Xu Weichen ordered immediately, "Immediately notify the nearby patrolling colleagues to help."

On the way, according to the situation in the past few days, there were three phone calls from the kidnapper. Xu Weichen and Bao Xi analyzed that the kidnapper was a novice and probably the first criminal, and the possibility of acquaintances committing the crime could not be ruled out.

Arriving at the locked position, there is a telephone booth, and two police officers who came to support in advance are standing by.

"Xu Sir."

"Well, did you find anything?"

"It was empty when we got there, but found this in a phone booth."

One of the police officers handed something to Xu Weichen, Xu Weichen took it over and looked at it, it was a list marked with the repertoire of the concert.

"Isn't this the performance of HAILEY's band?" Bakugo looked closer, "It's in a nearby theater."
