The lights went out and the hall was thrown into sudden chaos. n.o.body could understand what was going on. A few minutes later when the lights came back the people finally calmed down.All of a sudden few people realized that there was something amiss in the hall. "Oh my G.o.d! The Li family"s missing." A person exclaimed loudly making everybody pay attention to him.
"Yeah! Where"s the Li family?" Another person asked. Everybody started looking here and there but the Li family was nowhere to be seen.
"Do you think that they took this as an opportunity to run away?" Somebody questioned.
"Did someone from the Li family cause this sudden blackout?" Another person asked.
"No wait, there are other people missing too?" Somebody else said.
"Yes look carefully. Li Xiaolu, Gao Yifeng, and all of those Chen Yufan"s women are missing too."
"Should we call the police?"
"Yes, we should inform the police. People like Li Youbin should be in jail."
When the lights came back the first thing that came into Zhang Zhehan"s mind was Li Xiaolu. He looked at where she was standing and saw that she was gone. Not only her, Gao Yifeng and all the rest of the people were missing too.
He knew that the person who was speaking this whole time took away his wife and the rest of the people. Zhang Zhehan was not prepared for this and that gave the man reason to take Li Xiaolu away. He clenched his hands tightly as he rushed out of the hall.
Tang Jun and Hu Yutian also noticed that Li Xiaolu was missing so they quickly followed Zhang Zhehan out of the hall along with their partners. "Why did this person took away Li Xiaolu? What does he want with her?" Yang Mi asked.
Zhang Zhehan paused in his steps. Looking up he noticed that there were several CCTV"s around. Looking at Tang Jun he ordered, "That person must have already deleted the footages. I want you to retrieve them and search for her."
"Okay." Tang Jun agreed as he took Yang Mi"s hand and left with her.
Zhang Zhehan took out his cell phone and made a mysterious call. The call was connected in a few seconds. He spoke, "I want you to search for Li Xiaolu as soon as possible. I don"t care what you do but I want her location."
The way Zhang Zhehan spoke showed that he was angry and panicked. There was a dangerous aura surrounding him. Every person has a reverse scale that n.o.body should touch. And Li Xiaolu was Zhang Zhehan"s reverse scale.
Whoever set his eyes on Zhang Zhehan"s wife was bound to be on the losing side.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaolu was in a car with Gao Yifeng, Meng Xuimin, Layla, two bodyguards, and a driver. Sitting in the car Li Xiaolu recalled what happened inside the hall a few seconds ago.
When the lights went off somebody grabbed her from behind and before she could shout Zhang Zhehan"s name, somebody covered her mouth, her eyes, and then dragged her away. She struggled and tried to put up a fight against this person but she failed. But she knew that whoever she was fighting with was a woman.
After being dragged away she was stuffed into this car and the cloth over her eyes was removed. Her hands and legs were free but this time Li Xiaolu didn"t struggle and sat quietly in the car. She squinted her eyes and saw Layla sitting in front of her while Gao Yifeng and Meng Xuimin were sitting next to her. Although she was calm, Meng Xuimin wasn"t. Only the cloth over her eyes was removed. Li Xiaolu was completely confused. Why did this woman kidnap her? What was going on?
Suddenly she saw Layla smiling at her. She came to her and removed the cloth tied to her mouth. "h.e.l.lo Miss Li Xiaolu, I don"t think we have formally met yet. I am Layla..." she introduced.
Li Xiaolu glanced at Layla"s hand and she replied, "I know."
Seeing that Li Xiaolu didn"t shake her hand Layla wasn"t offended. Instead, she smiled. "You look so beautiful in real life. I am a big fan of your movie. Can I get your autograph?"
Li Xiaolu: "....."
"Did you kidnap me for my autograph?" Li Xiaolu questioned.
Layla laughed. "You are funny. Miss Li Xiaolu, I am just merely following my orders."
"And who gave you that order?" Li Xiaolu asked when the car suddenly the car came to a halt. Li Xiaolu looked around the surrounding but she couldn"t recognize the place at all. It looked like an abandoned factory of some sort. One of the bodyguards opened the door for them and Layla got out.
"Miss Li please...." the bodyguard politely offered his hands towards her wanting to help her get down from the car. Before Li Xiaolu could reject his offer the bodyguard was suddenly smacked on his head very harshly by Layla.
"Do you have a death wish or something?" She screamed, "You are not supposed to touch her."
The bodyguard abruptly went still and he quickly backed away as soon as possible. "Thank you Miss Layla, for saving my life." he thanked by bowing his head towards Layla.
Li Xiaolu: "....." What the heck wrong with this person?
Li Xiaolu got down from the car when she suddenly noticed that there was another car behind them. Her eyes widened in surprise when she realized that the Li family were inside the other car. One by one they were harshly thrown out of the car by some more bodyguards. Li Xiaolu was very puzzled as to what was going.
After she got down from the car she asked, "Why did you bring us here?"
"You will know in a few minutes," Layla answered. "By the way do you need water?"
Li Xiaolu: "..."
"Are you hungry?"
Li Xiaolu: "....."
"If you need anything please tell me. I can get it for you." Layla said.
Li Xiaolu: "....." What kind of kidnapping is this?
