Her manager had just called her. She could not waste any more time.

Rhythm Video was still a small website, so those celebrities did not look at it highly.

In the entertainment industry, status was the most important thing. It would affect the subsequent resources. Therefore, entertainment platforms and celebrity endorsements were complementary.

Luxury goods got endorsements from celebrities because it was a sign that their products were stylish. On the other hand, celebrities endorsed luxury goods because it showed their status and resources were good.

For those celebrities who did not have enough status, they would do this even if they did not get paid for it. This was because they needed a reputation.

However, to work with Rhythm Video, Yin Xun could only rely on these celebrities to carry the platform. Because of that, they were all arrogant. If not for the fact that Rhythm Video gave them enough money, they probably would not even take a look at this collaboration.

No matter what, the other party had a high status. Even if the person was not an A-list celebrity, Mary did not dare to provoke him now. She could only lower her voice and speak nicely. She was already filled with anger after discussing the collaboration.

She was already under a lot of pressure from working these two days, and her family kept replaceing trouble for her, causing her to be unable to rest well. She looked very exhausted. She even almost made a mistake when discussing business with the celebrity’s manager.

Her behavior made her agent very displeased, and the collaboration almost failed.

After some verbal battle, they finally signed two B-list celebrities. During the closed beta of Rhythm Video, they would get the staff to create accounts and occasionally post some of their daily videos. The celebrities already had a very large fan base, so even if they casually posted a few videos, they would still bring a lot of traffic.

Two celebrities still were not enough. Mary checked the time. There were still agents from both companies to discuss with, but fortunately, it was in the afternoon, which gave her plenty of time to rest.

Regarding her brother’s matter, Mary planned to wait until she was done with work. She did not believe that something could really happen to someone his age. The main thing was that her brother had done a lot of running away from home in the past. Every time, he had cut off all contact. Her family was worried about calling the police, but he was actually just throwing a tantrum.

At a nearby coffee shop, Mary ordered a cup of coffee and bought a sandwich. She planned to eat something and continue working later. However, before she could eat much, her phone rang again.

Thinking that it was her parents again, she slowly took it out of her pocket. However, when she saw the caller ID, there was no number on it. It was an empty number.

Mary froze. ‘Is such a call possible?’

She walked to the entrance of the coffee shop and pressed the answer button in confusion. A rough voice came from the phone. She knew immediately that the other party had used a voice changer.

‘You’re Mary?” the man asked bluntly when she picked up.

Mary frowned. “That’s right. Who are you?”

“You don’t have to care about who I am. I’m calling you to tell you something. Your brother is in our hands now. If you want him to live, listen to me obediently. Otherwise, I’ll kill him.” The voice was emotionless.

“My brother is well at home. How could he be with you? Who are you? Why are you calling me?” Mary did not believe him and thought he was a liar.

Seeing that Mary did not believe him, the caller did not get angry. Instead, he chuckled. Then Mary heard a ding from the phone, and a familiar voice came from inside.

“Ah… Sis, help me! Help me, they’re hitting me…” It was her brother Mark’s voice.

Hearing his terrified cry for help, Mary felt a bang in her head, followed by a buzzing in her ears. Her brother was really missing, or he had been kidnapped!

Seeing that Mary did not move, the other party did something to Mark again. Mark let out a heart-wrenching cry before his voice disappeared.

“How is it? Do you believe me now?” the man asked again.

Mary’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly tried to stop him. “Did you really catch my brother? Please don’t hurt him. What do you want? Do you want money? I’ll give you as much as you want, but please don’t hurt him!”

Mary sat down on the steps, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

However, although she was almost scared to death, she still tried her best to maintain her composure. She knew that if she acted too flustered at this moment, she would be completely controlled by the other party.

The silence on the other side lasted only for a moment, followed by Mark’s painful cry for help.

It seemed that they were still torturing Mark. Mary had no idea what methods they were using, but she was so anxious that she was about to cry..
