Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 202 - Days Of Freedom

Xiang Weimin was actually surprised to see that Hyson actually had so much faith in his best friend. He literally looked like he was on a casual trip around here and nothing could go wrong. Perhaps, that's the power of faith. He couldn't tell what it was but he found it quite refreshing nonetheless.

"Are you bored?" asked Hyson after another moment of silence.

"I'm not. But I believe you're bored," replied Xiang Weimin.

"How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Either you're bored or you don't like to stay quiet. I can't think of another reason why someone would be so enthusiastically talking when their life is not even guaranteed."

Hyson chuckled at his response, "Well, I agree, I'm bored. How about I sing a song for you?"

"Sing a song?" repeated Xiang Weimin as he tried to see Hyson's features in the growing darkness.

Hyson scratched his head sheepishly as he added, "But I don't know any patriotic songs that you soldiers like so maybe I shouldn't sing." After a brief moment, he added, "Then how about you tell me how you ended up here?"

Xiang Weimin didn't reply immediately, he looked towards the sky and sighed softly.

"I should not ask that, right?" Hyson could tactfully understand his reluctance to answer.

"Actually, I can tell you. But as a civilian, it'll not be good for you to know these affairs," answered Xiang Weimin honestly. He didn't know why he let his guard so down around Hyson but no matter what, he couldn't feel any threat or maliciousness from him. If anything, he only felt Hyson's genuine concern for him. Even though they were just strangers.

"I believe you're part of the Air Force?"

"Yes," responded Xiang Weimin softly but didn't continue this topic.

"Let's say if a snow wolf really comes out here, can you save us both?"

"Are you feeling scared now?"

Hyson scratched his nose, "It's not that I'm scared. I just don't have a way to defend myself in this situation."

For the next thirty minutes, Hyson casually conversed with the injured soldier beside him. He really was feeling bored. And since he didn't have to maintain an image before this unknown soldier, he didn't mind making small talk.

While on the other hand, on the shooting set, everyone was looking for Hyson.

"Sora, your precious actor is making trouble for us now," Amiah stared at Sora who was looking rather nervous and scared.

They had been looking for Hyson everywhere but even his assistant didn't know where he was. "Where did you last see him?" asked Sora to Hyson's assistant.

"Brother Fai was talking to Director Jade when I stepped aside," the young assistant replied honestly.

"What did you say to him?" questioned Sora clearly in a bad mood now.

"What did I say? You should ask what did he say to me!" Amiah shot back at her. She had been so down since she last conversed with Hyson. Each and every word of his had hit her at a sore spot. It made her want to strangle him. But although she had a bad temper and a habit of breaking things, she wasn't a violent person who would hurt others.

"Even the phone doesn't work here, how are we supposed to look for him?" questioned Sora but she didn't know who was supposed to answer her at this moment. She bit her nails anxiously. "What if something happened to him in this unknown place?!"

"Zhou Xu!" called out He Rou.

The Male Lead of the movie, Zhou Xu had been resting in the dressing room and just came out. "What is it, Teacher He?"

"Have you seen Hyson?" asked He Rou.

Zhou Xu was about to shake his head when he recalled something, "I think I saw him with that little girl Miss Sora brought to the crew. The one who came to get practical experience from Director Jade." Then he told them where he saw the two of them talking and shrugged his shoulder as he concluded, "The rest I don't know. I was tired after the video conference, so I took a short nap. Why? Where is our newcomer?"

"He is missing!" He Rou answered it for him since at the moment both Sora and Amiah had a dark expression clouding them.

Zhou Xu was taken aback and said, "Then what are you doing here? Look for him! That little cutie might get hurt out in the jungle. Besides, I just learned that there is a snowstorm coming. If he got stuck in it, he won't survive."

Everyone's mood dropped even lower when they heard his words. No wonder the sky had been turning gloomier and gloomier. Even the darkness of the night was denser. Although the wind wasn't howling, there was a stillness in the air that seemed to be like a silence before the storm.

Sora glared at Amiah and yelled, "Someone would be really happy if he is gone."

Amiah felt guilty even though she knew she didn't do anything wrong. She still somehow felt like it was her fault. She definitely didn't want Hyson to get hurt. And right now, whether he was alive or not couldn't even be confirmed. It really evoked a bad feeling within her soul.

As the darkness was increasing, their anxiety was reaching a new peak as well. They couldn't find a sign of Hyson anywhere. Even the girl who was last seen with Hyson couldn't be found on the set any longer. Everyone could guess what was happening here but they didn't pay attention to it since the main concern at the moment was to learn about Hyson's whereabouts.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of helicopters and everyone looked up in surprise. There were about a dozen helicopters that seemed to be on a rescue mission. No one knew why but the atmosphere grew tenser than before at this moment.

The bad premonition in Amiah's heart grew as she looked towards those helicopters.

.....

She should have taken that bad feeling seriously. After all, the missing person was Raelle Xiang's one and only precious best friend. She had no idea what Raelle Xiang was capable of doing for her best friend. In fact, even Raelle didn't know what she was willing to do for Hyson. Or how far she could really go for him. But it was a fact that Hyson was that part of her life that was irreplaceable.

Earlier, Raelle was in a meeting when suddenly her phone made a blaring sound. Her body paused slightly. She picked up her phone and checked the alarm sound that rang from the app that was connected to Hyson's watch.

She turned her eyes towards Cloe, "Take over the meeting."

Cloe was startled and so was everyone else in the conference room when they watched her leaving without looking back. All of them turned to Cloe with questioning gazes but the poor Cloe was clueless at this moment herself. How could she help feed their curiosity?

This was the first time Raelle had walked out of the meeting. She didn't even look back and threw everything on Cloe's head before walking away. The office was already abuzz due to Shui Xian's visit in the morning which shocked them and now, their President actually left a meeting halfway through.

Something was definitely up. And everyone could feel it now.

Raelle walked to her office and turned on her laptop. She could see Hyson's location and she forwarded to another number before making a call, "I have sent you the location. Initiate the rescue plan. You have fifteen minutes to organize people to look for him. And you better find him within an hour. Let me know when you do find him."

After she hung up the call, she continued to look at the data on her screen that showed Hyson's vitals. It seemed his health was alright but then why did he call for help? What trouble bothered him enough to look for her to solve it for him?

Raelle's fingers tapped the tabletop as she mumbled, "What did you get yourself into now?"

Hyson would never ask for Raelle's help unless or until it was absolutely necessary to do so. He wasn't any less prideful than she was. He wanted to solve his problems himself. That was the reason whenever she offered to help with his career, he pushed her away.

Just like this movie he was acting in. She could have become the biggest investor to solve any problem for him but she knew he won't like it. That's why she didn't even offer to help. But it seemed, she should have helped.

Her eyes bore at the data before her eyes as she whispered, "Let's see how you manage to act willfully again. This time, I'll definitely put a team of babysitters around you."

Poor Hyson didn't even know that his days of freedom were coming to an end. He finally gave Raelle a reason to keep an eye on him.
