"First, don't make a fuss. Ming Ge is a celebrity. No matter who's behind her kidnapping, as long as this gets out, even if she returns safely, her career in the entertainment industry will be ruined. Find the person who gave you the message just now and tell them they got it wrong. Say you just contacted Ming Ge and confirmed that she's already safely home."
"Second, don't let your thoughts run wild. What you see in TV dramas is deceptive nonsense. Stay calm. Even if it's a kidnapping, the kidnappers are nothing more than after profit. Sooner or later, they'll contact us. What happens next is out of your control. Leave it to me."
Ya Zhi's voice remained composed, methodical even when making decisions.
