Chapter 2052: Chapter 2052: The Plane Crash Incident (5)
Duan Xi responded, and hung up the phone a few seconds later.
Yu Rou, sitting on one side, thought for a moment and also picked up her phone to call her family in the corner. Although it might not be helpful, one more person adds more strength, which is definitely better than doing nothing.
Jiaojiao had never felt time move so slowly before; every single minute and every second was almost unbearably long.
In this powerless waiting, her mental defenses were slowly collapsing.
The plane had been missing for three hours.
This was definitely no joke; life is life, not a fairy tale, and it doesn’t always offer a happy ending.
Jiaojiao was very clear about this.
However, she couldn’t accept any unfavorable ending. If something really happened to Ruan Hao, she felt her life might not be able to continue.
This waiting lasted the entire afternoon.
And throughout the afternoon, everyone in the Ruan Family went without eating or drinking, without even moving.
The storm outside had long since stopped, and the sun came out, coloring the evening clouds red across half the sky.
Ruan Lei and the others had already heard the news from Lu Zishu and had all arrived at the Ruan Family’s villa. Everyone was waiting for one piece of news, or rather an outcome.
Yu Rou got up midway and saw the rainbow hanging in the sky. She wanted to tell the Ruan Family that the rainbow appeared, which surely is a good sign, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Under the circumstances where the plane couldn’t land, it could continue flying for about ten hours, and now the time had already come.
But there was still no news, which made survival seem very unlikely.
Jiaojiao’s eyes were sore, yet she dared not blink, knowing that once she did, tears would fall. She was on the brink of despair, as were the others.
And in such despair, everyone could say they were waiting without any hope, until it reached late night. No one spoke of resting, nor did anyone say anything.
Enduring through the night, morning came.
Outside, birds chirped, just like any normal morning.
But inside the Ruan Family villa, there was dead silence.
In this silence, when the phone rang, everyone almost jumped. Jiaojiao’s heart was practically in her throat, but she didn’t dare to pick up the call.
Ultimately, it was Ruan Lei who mustered the courage to answer the phone.
As soon as he picked up, he instinctively held his breath.
On the other end, Lu Zhiwei’s voice came: "Hello, is this my sister-in-law? We’ve received news, Ruan Hao is safe. The plane unfortunately collided with a flock of birds after takeoff and was forced to land in a river on the way back. Everyone on board, including the crew, is fine; they’ve been rescued and taken to the hospital. We’re heading there now, just wanted to call you first to let you know everything’s okay, don’t worry."
Lu Zhiwei’s voice was loud, and the telephone’s loudspeaker volume was high, instantly reaching everyone’s ears.
Jiaojiao didn’t hear anything except the part where Ruan Hao was safe. She stared blankly as Ruan Lei hung up the phone, and the tension that had been holding her mind together suddenly snapped. With a cry of "wah," she broke down into tearful sobs, almost releasing all the fear and despair from the day and night.
Seeing Jiaojiao crying so sadly, none of the other members of the Ruan Family could hold back, and they all burst into tears. Instantaneously, the room was filled with sobs, but these were tears of joy rather than sadness.
