She calls him for three times. But all of it, it’s unanswered.
Ye Qing Xin’s heartbeat is quicken.
Why is it off?
She holds her phone tightly.
Last night Jing Bo Yuan didn’t tell her what had happened. She just heard him said about “rescuing”, “family members will be emotional”, “media”. She guesses that there should be something happened that affects someone’s safety.
She thinks about Zhu Hai. The Bo Wei group is making a big project, they have a great factory there, it has a great risk too.
Last time when there was an accident, it can be handled well. Will this time everything be solved smoothly?
Ye Qing Xin thinks about it and goes to the dining room. A chef has come over and cooked for her. The female employees notice her and quickly serve everything out.
The rainfall has gradually decreased.
There should be no problem. Last night everything seems to happen so sudden. Jing Bo Yuan was leaving hurriedly. He should be busy with everything. So maybe his phone is off because of the low battery.
Ye Qing Xin keeps on talking to herself, she doesn’t eat a lot. After the breakfast, she goes to the living room. She stands near the window and looks around.
Ye Qing Xin woke up early, it’s not yet 06:00 a.m. She thinks of Jing Bo Yuan’s phone. She is thinking, is he so tired that he is sleeping now?
A female worker notices that Ye Qing Xin’s face looks worried. She smiles and suggests “Fu Ren (Madame), do you want to watch the TV?”
Ye Qing Xin just nods without thinking too much about it.
The female worker turns off the television. It is a news program. She thinks that Ye Qing Xin will not be interested for listening to the news like other women, she is about to change the channel until….
Suddenly!
“Bo Wei group—“
Ye Qing Xin is surprised about it.
She turns her head and says. “Stop, go to the previous channel!”
She sounds serious that the female worker changes the channel quickly.
“Stop!” The news is talking about the Bo Wei group.
Ye Qing Xin takes the remote from the female worker and replays what the anchor said before.
Ye Qing Xin is shocked when she hears the news regarding the Bo Wei group. The gla.s.s on her hold falls down. The hot water sprays to her foot but she doesn’t feel hot.
“I want to go home!”
“What?” The female worker doesn’t understand her words.
Ye Qing Xin’s heart is beating so quick, she is terrified and scared. She feels it’s hard to breath.
Her voice sounds too calm. “Tell your manager. I want to leave here. Half an hour… no, twenty minutes. If I am still here, I’ll let him go away!”
The female worker is too shocked.
She doesn’t know the real ident.i.ty of Ye Qing Xin but she knows about these two courtyard houses. These houses are restricted for public use. From what she heard these courtyard houses are owned by someone great.
The ones that can live here shouldn’t be offended.
The female worker doesn’t dare to delay any longer. She calls the manager quickly.
The time the call ends. The waiter says while shaking with fear: “The manager said that now he will send the speedboat over. It’s just too far. From here to the center of the city, I’m afraid twenty minutes are too… too..”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t mind the female worker.
Her mind is filled of what the anchor said. Her face is so pale. She is sweating a cold sweat now.
She touches her belly as she feels her belly is in pain. She couldn’t make sure why is it painful.
“In this early March, Bo Wei group’s project has been completed. In this end of March, it starts to go into operation to build a new energy industry. Last night before the dawn 01:03 p.m., there’s a great explosion. The reason of the explosion is not clear yet, but it has caused around ten people’s death, fourteen people in critical condition, thirty seven people suffer minor injuries, six people are missing….”
“The accident leads Bo Wei’s high-level leaders. This morning around 04:00 a.m. the leader of Bo Wei group came show his care upon investigating this matter. 04:30 a.m., there is a second explosion happened. The Bo Wei group leader was trapped, there’s no news regarding his life or death. The firefighters are around to rescue everyone.”
Ye Qing Xin keeps on calling Jing Bo Yuan’s phone. She turns even terrified and worried.
The speedboat has arrived, she immediately gets on it. She keeps on urging the driver to drive faster.
When she arrives at the opposite of the bank, the manager, who is looking very pale, says to her. “Fu Ren, now where are you going? I will send someone to send you over.”
“Give me a car.” Ye Qing Xin p.r.o.nounces clearly.
Bo Wei group’s new project is located in the Jing City outskirt of Huan Ming town. It has started since March, and this early October it has a great accident. She doesn’t care how it will affect Bo Wei group. He cares more about Jing Bo Yuan’s condition.
He should be okay.
Please let him be okay.
Ye Qing Xin holds the steering wheel. The rain smears her window. Her car pa.s.ses the through the rainy weather and muddy road. She drives fast that it forces most pedestrians feels terrified. Some of them are avoiding the splas.h.i.+ng, some of them are also cursing at her car.
She already doesn’t care about courtesy or other people’s feeling.
She straightens her lips and looks at the road.
From Yan Qi river to Hua Ming Town, it takes at least two and half hour if she drives quickly. Ye Qing Xin breaks the speeding limit rule. She gets into the area of Hua Ming town after one hour and forty minutes.
The time she approaches the location of Bo Wei’s new project, Ye Qing Xin is worried.
Her wet clothes are sticking to her body. She forgets to turn on the heater so her lips are paled up.
The rain has already stopped. Ye Qing Xin’s hands are trembling so hard. Her face looks cold like she is covering her worried heart.
The location is near the SCBD.
This time it’s already pa.s.sing the peak hour. There’re several people with their bicycle. Ye Qing Xin just minds about Jing Bo Yuan so she drives faster and sounds her horn.
In front of her, it’s a sharp turn. Ye Qing Xin lowers her speed and when she is about to make a turn, there’s a woman running by from the bushes and trees. Ye Qing Xin’s car b.u.mps that woman!
Ye Qing Xin is staring and steps on the brake hurriedly. Her body is smashed forward and her head hits the steering wheel.
In front of the car.
Chiiii—!
At the same time.
“Pak!”
It’s a lous noise.
Ye Qing Xin is stupefied. She hasn’t responded and she can hears a loud scream.
Then she starts to regain herself.
She notices there’s a woman laying around three to four meters from the car. The fresh blood seeps out from her body.
Ye Qing Xin is shocked.
All around her is quiet and she cannot hear anything. She just has a thought that she has destroyed something….
She has run over someone…..
Several people with the bicycles start to come around and someone calls the police and the ambulance.
Ye Qing Xin’s face is pale, she is sitting inside the car and clenches the steering wheel. She forgets how should she respond in this situation. She looks terrified. Someone knocks on the window and she just recovers from his shock. She opens up the window with her trembling hand, she gets off the car.
That person talks something with her but she cannot make it out. She is too shocked. She feels the pain in her abdomen. She goes to the road side and starts to vomit.
“It’s too tragic, I’m afraid she is dead?”
“I’m afraid she cannot live any longer. The ambulance needs at least thirty minutes for to be here. Now we don’t know whether that woman is breathing or not.”
“Ay, don’t move it. She is vomiting blood. I think she is bleeding internally. Don’t move it.”
Ye Qing Xin starts to hear everyone’s discussion. They are looking at her with pity.
Ye Qing Xin’s phone on her pocket, she knows that she should give someone a call. But she doesn’t know who should he call.
Who should she call to discuss?
At the bottom now she is just a twenty two years old woman. She has quite limited experiences.
The time she takes out her phone, she notices there’re several missed-calls from Jing Bo Yuan.
Her tears start to pour down.
The time she is about to dial her phone. Jing Bo Yuan’s call comes in. It’s ot vibrating, it’s just lighting up.
Suddenly Ye Qing Xin just realizes she has silenced her phone.
She answers.
Jing Bo Yuan sounds worried: “Xin Xin, where are you?”
Ye Qing Xin’s emotion starts to crumble. She chokes. “Bo Yuan, my car b.u.mped someone. That person is bleeding… Bo Yuan…. I ….”
“You are okay right?” Jing Bo Yuan just asks hurriedly.
“I, I’m okay.” Ye Qing Xin is trembling, she really wants to escape.
But she cannot, she knows if she runs away, it’ll be a hit-and-run case.
“Xin Xin, don’t be afraid. Give me your position. I’ll be there soon. I’ll handle this, I’ll not let anything happen to you.” Jing Bo Yuan comforts her. “Xin Xin, listen to me, send me the address.”
He calms her down
Ye Qing Xin uses WeChat to send her position to Jing Bo Yuan’s phone.
It’s not raining but the wind is quite strong. It blows her clothes and makes her s.h.i.+ver.
It’s only ten minutes since the accident happened, but she feels it’s like a century.
The face of that woman is full of blood. But from her hair and body figure, Ye Qing Xin Xin thinks that she should be a young woman.
Everyone that stands around the woman is young men. They are using their phone to record.
Ye Qing Xin starts to be dizzy, she starts to vomit again on the road side.
She doesn’t stop anyone to record as those people will not hear her out.
After a while, a white car stops behind Ye Qing Xin.
Jing Bo Yuan gets off the car and approaches her.
Last night he was so busy that he just had a free time to call her when it’s early morning. He wanted to call her to tell her not to worry and he will be back soon But he noticed that time he was about to give a call, his phone had no battery. He plugged it to charge it. He immediately noticed Ye Qing Xin has called him for several times.
He called the manor house and just noticed that Ye Qing Xin had left.
He handed over the matter to Luo Feng and prepared to drive back. He called her phone but she didn’t answer. The time Ye Qing Xin answered her phone and he knew what has happened. He drove quickly toward her place.
Ye Qing Xin looks at him and starts to sob. She runs toward him and hugs him.
“I just know it that you’ll be okay.” Ye Qing Xin forgets about what has happened for a moment. “It’s great, that you are okay…”
Jing Bo Yuan frowns and suddenly realizes why she is here. He takes off his coat and covers Ye Qing Xin up. He looks over that laying woman. He says gently: “Why didn’t you stay at the mansion, why are you here?”
“I saw the news, it said that you were in the accident. I was so worry….”
Jing Bo Yuan says nothing and just hugs her.
After a while, a black car comes over. Luo Feng and Chen Ting are getting off the car. Without Jing Bo Yuan’s order, they both look around. They are discussing to everyone that surround their woman. Those people start to give them their phone to look.
After a while, the ambulance and the police car have arrived.
The victim has put inside the ambulance quickly but the pool of blood is stil there.
The police records what has happened. Chen Ting represents Jing Bo Yuan and discusses about this with the police.
Ye Qing Xin looks at the police and she shrinks at Jing Bo Yuan’s embrace. Especially when she looks at the cuff on police’s hold.
Jing Bo Yuan notices her worry and holds her hand. He comforts her and promises that she will be okay.
Ye Qing Xin is a bit relieved. She is thinking about the condition of that victim.
The police has finished talking with Chen Ting and looks Ye Qing Xin. He approaches Ye Qing Xin.
Ye Qing Xin looks calm but when she takes a step back, it somehow betrays her calm appearance.
“Are you the one who causes a traffic accident? Do you have your driving license? Give it to me.” The police in-charge is somewhat nervous.
“I have it—-“
“I’m the driver.”
Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan are answering at the same time.
