Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The people in the meeting room watched Gu Wencheng leave. They turned their eyes to Ping Yang, who had not followed him.
Ping Yang smiled and called for the secretary of the president’s office. “Sorry, President Gu has something on at the last minute. He will leave first. The meeting will continue as usual. The secretary will take the minutes and hand them to me later.” After that, she told the secretary about the follow-up matters before following after Gu Wencheng.
When Ping Yang caught up, the driver started the car. She glanced at Gu Wencheng’s tense face and quickly opened the door of the passenger seat, then took out her mobile phone and called an acquaintance in the traffic department to ask if there was a person named Meng Nianyao involved in the accident.
This accident had already caused the deaths of thirteen people. It was a major traffic accident, and the traffic department was in a mess. After telling Ping Yang that there was no one called Meng Nianyao, they immediately hung up. Ping Yang turned to look at Gu Wencheng and reported the situation to him. To them, no news was good news.
There were shouts and cries everywhere. Men’s voices, women’s voices, old people’s voices… There was also the voice of a child…
Meng Nianyao looked at the scene in front of her. For a moment, a blurry and unreal image flashed through her mind. She wanted to examine the memory, but her head suddenly hurt.
“Mommy, mommy…” At this moment, a child’s cries could be heard. Meng Nianyao pinched the space between her eyebrows and looked in the direction of the sound. In the crowd, there was a child crying with blood smeared on her face. The bus and car that had crashed showed signs of leaking oil. Everyone was busy rescuing the people trapped in the vehicle, so no one noticed the little girl who looked to be only four or five years old.
Meng Nianyao looked around and quickly walked over to carry the child out of the car.
At the same time, the driver was urged by Gu Wencheng to shorten the 40-minute drive to 20 minutes. As soon as the car stopped at the scene of the accident, Gu Wencheng immediately opened the door and got out.
For the convenience of rescue and safety, a quarantine zone had been set up at the scene of the accident. Gu Wencheng wanted to go in, but was stopped by someone. “Sorry, you can’t go in now.”
“My wife is inside!” Gu Wencheng’s voice was as cold as ice. His face was dark and his aura could not be ignored.
At the same time, Ping Yang was making a phone call. After the call went through, she handed the phone to the person guarding the quarantine zone. After the man answered the phone, his attitude immediately changed, and he opened the tape. “I’m sorry, President Gu. Please go ahead.”
Gu Wencheng strode in.
Ping Yang thanked the people guarding the quarantine zone and chased after him. They had already contacted the old mansion and were told that Meng Nianyao didn’t return. They also called Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu to confirm when Meng Nianyao had left. According to her driving speed, she should be around here at that time.
The scene of the accident looked far more serious than the news reports. The blood on the ground had already coagulated, and there were cries and shouts everywhere.
Gu Wencheng walked over and saw the car he had given Meng Nianyao about three meters away from the scene of the accident. He couldn’t help but quicken his pace and trot to the end. “Meng Nianyao!” he shouted before he could open the car door.
Unfortunately, the car was empty and Meng Nianyao wasn’t there.
A nurse who was involved in the rescue passed by Gu Wencheng. Gu Wencheng pulled her and asked, “Did you see the owner of this car?”
The nurse was extremely busy at the moment. Her temper was not good either.” I didn’t see anything. Let go of me first!”
“Then did you see a girl about 1.6 meters tall, very thin, with waist-length hair, who looked to be in her twenties?”
Gu Wencheng looked calm, but he was actually very nervous. When the nurse heard this, she probably understood that Gu Wencheng might be a family member of one of the injured in the accident. She carefully recalled that a girl wearing a white dress and a khaki trench coat had been rescued, but…
The nurse looked at Gu Wencheng and hesitated. Gu Wencheng waited, his hands clenched by his side.
“There was indeed a girl who matched your description just now, but…”
Gu Wencheng had never been so embarrassed. He even wanted to cover his ears and not listen to the nurse’s next words. “Gu Wencheng?” A voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Gu Wencheng suddenly turned around and saw Meng Nianyao holding a little girl’s hand, standing in front of him safe and sound. At that moment, Gu Wencheng was extremely glad..
