"Oh my God!"
Having had breakfast and arrived at the studio, Xiaomei, despite having already received Qin Mu's phone call, was still startled by the scene before her.
Her colleagues who rushed over were also surprised, as they had stayed up too late last night and thus had not checked their phones. This morning, after hearing the news from Xiaomei, they looked up the video online. Although it looked terrible online, only upon arriving at the scene did they truly understand the meaning of dreadful.
"I need to give Qinqin another call," Xiaomei said as she rummaged through her bag for her phone.
"No need to call!" a colleague reminded her, nodding towards the front.
Qin Mu stepped out of an unfamiliar car, with a man in a black uniform holding the door open for her.
Xiaomei and her colleagues stood at the door, blinking in disbelief, as four men emerged from the car behind her, each taking a position behind Qin Mu at just the right distance.
