Chapter 2296 - 2297: I Have My Limits 5

On the phone, there was only a beeping sound.

Maimai felt her body go limp, collapsing onto the ground, her mind in a haze, unable to think.

Cold sweat trickled down her back and forehead.

Is this a prank? Has something really happened to Sheng Sheng?

These two questions lingered in her mind, but she couldn’t find an answer.

She reopened the multimedia message and, upon seeing the picture, let out a piercing scream that startled Sister A and the assistant, prompting them to rush in.

"Selena, what’s going on?"

Maimai raised her head, her expression was extremely pale.

She held up her phone, handing it to Sister A, her voice trembling and her lips cold: "Sister A, Sister A, tell me, is this real, is it real?"

"Someone called me just now, saying Sheng Sheng is in their hands, and I need to get to Miami within 24 hours. Tell me, is this real, or a trap, or a scam?"

She tried hard to calm herself down but couldn’t.

The assistant looked at the photo and let out a small scream.

Sister A took a sharp breath, being the calmest of the three, and said, "Call the big boss."

"I called him, twice, but no one answered."

Sister A saw Maimai’s face growing paler and signaled the assistant; together they helped her up from the ground. Sister A comforted her, saying, "Selena, don’t panic, let’s calm down and not rush. Try calling again, and if you still can’t get through, call his friends to see if anyone can reach him, and first confirm whether something really happened."

Maimai became like a robot, following Sister A’s instructions one by one.

She quickly took the phone Sister A handed her and dialed Zun Zun’s number, but couldn’t get through; then she called Wubai’s number, still no answer. In her panic, she called her uncle, and the call finally connected.

"Uncle, where is Sheng Sheng?" she urgently asked.

Gu Shaocheng’s voice on the phone was calm: "What’s wrong, Maimai?"

"Someone called me, telling me to go to Miami or else prepare for Sheng Sheng’s body," Maimai said in fear over the phone. "They also sent me a picture showing Sheng Sheng covered in bruises. I don’t know if it’s real, Uncle. I’ve tried calling Sheng Sheng, but he doesn’t answer. I’m scared..."

"Maimai, you’re still in Paris, right?"

Maimai nodded and said, "Yeah, I’m just about to pack up and head back to Canada. My work here is done."

"Alright, pack your things and go back to Vancouver now. I’ll send someone to pick you up at the airport," Gu Shaocheng said.

Maimai’s heart grew tenser: "Uncle, Sheng Sheng, is he..."

"Sheng Sheng is fine; he just can’t answer the phone right now. Take a deep breath and relax. If anyone calls you again, just ignore it; it’s a scam," Gu Shaocheng’s voice was particularly rational over the phone.

"But... but I heard Sheng Sheng’s voice in that strange call, he told me not to go, Uncle, you have to tell me the truth. Don’t lie to me, has something happened to Sheng Sheng?" Maimai pleaded. She felt this couldn’t be as simple as her uncle said.

She really thought she heard Sheng Sheng’s voice on the phone.

How could she not recognize Sheng Sheng’s voice? It’s impossible that she’s mistaken, but she couldn’t bear to believe this was true. How could something happen to Sheng Sheng?
