Chapter 273
Natasha''s eyes were wide open throughout the night. Like a robot, she stared intently at the screen
as she monitored the surveince cameras to look for anyone suspicious.
Right beside her, Anthony and Benjamin were also staring at the screen. Their eyes were reddened
because of how focused they were, and they didn''t want to miss anything crucial.
By the break of dawn, some film crew had just arrived to set up the filming site while some were
getting off work. Hence, there were people walking in and out of the set.
Neither the police station nor the director had received a phone call.
It was as if Denise had just vanished into thin air without leaving any clues behind.
Keh knew that the longer they waited, the greater danger Denise would be in.
Despite his anxiousness, he knew he had to try his best to keep himself calm.
In fact, his intuition told him Denise was fine, and she was waiting for him to find her. I can''t afford to
panic now. We must''ve missed out on something!
With that in mind, Keh opened the car door and got out of the car. I have to check the
surroundings and find out where the problem lies.
The moment Keh opened the car, a gust of cold wind blew past, and he felt much more awake
after that. He merely nced at the people inside the car quietly before walking off.
Those three in the car were all focused on the screen, and they didn''t even notice Keh leaving.
After getting out of the car, Keh peered at his surroundings. Since there was limited sunlight, he
found it hard to see clearly.
He then saw a convenience store that opened all day long, and he went in.
When he came out of the convenience store, he was holding a pack of cigarettes. He couldn''t be
bothered about the type or brand of cigarettes he bought. All he wanted was to smoke and calm his
nerves.
By the time he finished a cigarette, he was still as anxious as before.
Right when Keh was about to head back, there were two people
walking past him.
“I''m going to tell you a secret, and you must keep it to yourself!” one of them said to the other.

“What is it?” the other person asked.
“Yesterday, I saw the male lead and female lead...” In a low voice, the person continued, “They were
getting it on behind the mountain!”
“What? Are you serious?”
“Of course, I am! I saw them doing it with my own eyes!”
“You saw them in action? Really?”
“Yes! Although I couldn''t see them clearly because it was at night, I could hear them loud and clear.
Who would''ve known? The female lead looks so innocent, no? I didn''t expect her to do something
so extreme!”
“Wait. Why would they do it behind the mountain? Can''t they just go to a hotel?”
“Well, people might see them if they were to go to a hotel together. The area behind the mountain
doesn''t have any surveince cameras. It''s dark there, so no one can see a thing. Besides, there''s
no one there, not even the paparazzi. Even if someone does show up, they can just hide
somewhere nearby. Most importantly, they do it for the thrill!”
“You''re right. Hey! Bring me along next time when something like that happens, will you? I would
like to enjoy a live show as well!”
“Sure!”
They were talking and walking at the same time.
Right then, Keh suddenly showed up in front of them and stopped them in their tracks.
Those two were shocked to see Keh. He''s wearing branded clothes, and he has the looks. Who
is this guy ? What does he want? Is he a new celebrity ? A few secondster, one of them asked,
“W-What do you want?”
“You guys mentioned something about the back of a mountain, right? Where is that?” Keh
asked.
Guilt washed over them instantly. One of them blinked anxiously and said, “I didn''t say that! You
must''ve misheard me!”
With that, they wanted to flee. However, Keh wasn''t letting them go so easily. He stood in front
of them once again to stop them from leaving.
The two of them looked utterly troubled. “We''re just extras, and we''re
about to start shooting—"
Cl TI . .
1 m not trying to cause you guys any trouble. I just want to know where the back of a mountain is!”
Keh interrupted.
The two of them exchanged nces. Should we tell him?
Just then, Keh whipped out his wallet and took out a stack of cash. “Is this enough?”
The two of them stared at the money, and they didn''t quite know what to say.
“I''ll say this again. I''m not here to cause trouble. I just want to know how to get to the back of the
mountain!” Keh emphasized.
Being the extras there, it would take them months to earn the money Keh was offering. Hence,
their attitudes changed instantly when they saw the money in Keh''s hand.
“It''s there! Just go straight from here.”
“Take me there!” Keh said.
“Oh... But I need to shoot soon!”
“Fine, then!” Keh pretended to keep his money back in his wallet.
One of them saw it and yelled, “I''ll take you there!” He then turned toward the other guy and said,
“You''re not shooting today, are you? Take him there for me!”
“But...”
He then whispered something into the other''s ear. Thetter responded with a nod and said, “Okay!
No problem!”
After they were done discussing with one another, one of them looked at the money in Keh''s
hand and uttered, “Shall we?”
Keh gave him the money. The guy epted it happily and said, “This way, Boss!”
Just like that, he led Keh forward and arrived at the spot Denise lost her phone.
“We''ll only need to keep walking forward from here!” the guy said to Keh.
“There''s no more road ahead, no?” Keh asked.
“You''re right. There''s no road leading to the back of the mountain. We''ll have to follow along the
footpath.”
Keh''s expression changed. We didn''t see anything from the surveince footage. If this is
where Denise had gotten lost, she must''ve been taken to the back of the mountain!
As they were walking, the guy said, “There are no surveince cameras here, and the mountain
path is rugged. A lot of celebrities woulde here to date! No one will catch them here. Actually,
I''ve seen quite a few of them here!”
Keh wasn''t interested in gossiping, so he asked, “Is the area at the back of the mountain big?”
“Oh, yes! It''s huge. Since the path is treacherous, one could easily get lost here. It took me more
than a decade to know my way around here,” the extra answered.
Keh pursed his lips and followed him from behind.
Right then, the extra took out a torchlight and said, “Boss, be careful.
The pathway isn''t safe!”
More than ten minutester, they arrived at the back of the mountain.
“We''re here, Boss!” the guy said.
Keh took a few steps forward and saw an expansive view of the whole area. The shooting base
here seems to be built along the back of the mountain. This ce is huge!
Keh narrowed his eyes. If Denise is here, it''s going to be hard to find her.
Keh then nced at the extra and asked, “Are you familiar with this area?
The extra immediately answered, “I live at the foot of the mountain, and I''ve been an extra
whenever there is filming in this area for several years now. Whenever I''m free at night, I would
roam around the area. Hence, I guess I''m quite familiar with this ce.”
Without wasting a second, Keh immediately whipped out his phone and showed the extra a
photo of Denise. “Have you seen this girl before?”
