Chapter 213 He decided to take a risk
He had just woken up, washed, changed and walked out of the cloakroom when his cell phone, which was placed on the bedside table, vibrated at the exact time as if it had divine perception.
Rumeng, who was waiting for Chuxing to take a nap while washing up, was startled by the vibration of her phone. During this critical period, Chuxing was afraid of missing any calls, so she didn't dare to mute the phone before going to bed last night.
He looked at Rumeng with an apologetic look on his face: "Did I wake you up?"
Ru Meng stretched like a lazy cat and rubbed her tired eyes. "Who's calling?"
"It's Special Assistant Chen. I'm going to the study to answer a call. You continue to sleep. I'll make you breakfast later." Chu Xing picked up the phone, took a look at it, and answered.
After he finished speaking, he leaned over and kissed Rumeng on the forehead, then turned around and hurried out.
Ru Meng looked at Chu Xing’s back and felt inexplicably panicked!
She got up and took a hot bath, thinking that maybe she had been too nervous these days, and a hot bath to relieve her fatigue might help relieve her depression.
Rumeng turned on the water valve, and warm water dripped from her head to her feet, but it did not seem as good as she had imagined. The depressed feeling in her heart did not subside at all. She was always vaguely uneasy, with indescribable panic and palpitations.
She closed her eyes and let the water pour down on her head...
At this time, Chu Xing, who was in the study, called Chen Yi back.
"Mr. Chu." Chen Yi opened his phone call with the same remarks as usual, but his tone was different from before and sounded a little hurried.
"The last time your mother appeared near Lianshan Temple was at 3pm last Saturday. She hasn't appeared since then. But we have received reliable information that your mother used to deliver vegetables to the temple every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday."
"Our tracking location showed a village near the temple, but we lost the signal about 500 meters from the village entrance."
Chu Xing: "Take a screenshot of the location of the temple and the village where my mom appeared, mark them, and send them to me."
It was already half past eight in the morning. The days were long and the nights were short in the summer. A few rays of sunlight shone through the gauze, illuminating the slightly haggard but handsome face that had just woken up.
Chen Yi: "Just now, I have bolded the information and the location screenshot and sent it to your email."
"Okay, let me take a look." Chu Xing said.
At this moment, Chu Xing's microphone beeped twice, reminding him that the line was busy. "I have a call coming in. I'll cut off your line first. Wait for your call later."
Finally, he hurriedly cut off Chen Yi's call and immediately answered another call, "Chu Xing, are you up? How is your father?"
It was Yan Feng who called. After the call was connected, he asked anxiously.
He just woke up and said "hmm". After hearing the click of the mouse twice, he said, "I just woke up a while ago and haven't had time to go over to check. Grandma was taking care of it last night. She was busy all day yesterday. Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"Thank you for your hard work, grandma. You are a very kind and loving old lady!" said Yan Feng.
He went on to say, "I have some latest news about your mother and I wanted to tell you about it. Your phone was busy just now, so I'll tell you the details."
Chu Xing: "That was Chen Yi just now. He also received some latest news. You two should have received the news at the same time, which is basically the same. Your information is slightly more detailed than his, and the signal disappearance point is also almost at the same location."
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Chu Xing took a deep breath and said, "I plan to... go to Lianshan Temple in the afternoon."
The sound of Yan Feng blowing his hair on his forehead came from the phone, followed by silence for a moment.
"Chu Xing, you know that we obtained this information through multiple sources. If the people who provided the information to me and Chen Yi were the same group of people, then..."
"I know what you are worried about."
Before Chu Xing even waited for Yan Feng to finish his words, he had already anticipated what he was going to say next.
"Your concerns are exactly what I worry about, but no matter what, I have to take a risk and find my mother's whereabouts as soon as possible."
"Yan Feng..."
When I first woke up, I wanted to speak but stopped.
"Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating about telling me this?" Yan Feng said.
I could tell there was a hint of sadness in his tone, which didn't seem like his usual manly self.
Chu Xing said "hmm", and there was silence on the phone for a moment before he spoke again, his voice a little hoarse: "Brother...if, I mean if, in case something happens to me, Rumeng, grandma and grandma, please take care of me."
There was no sound on the other end of the line.
After hearing Chu Xing's words, Yan Feng felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, extremely heavy.
It’s not that he can’t bear the burden of taking care of Rumeng, grandma and grandma. Even if he can’t do it alone, there are Han Ge, Xiang Ming and Song Yang to share the burden.
Yan Feng was worried about Chu Xing. He knew that he might not gain anything from the trip and that he might fall into a trap and encounter danger, but he still made up his mind to go.
If he said more words of dissuasion at this time, it would only bring unhappiness and psychological burden to the other party.
Yan Feng particularly regretted not assessing the risks before telling Chu Xing the information.
He was very upset!
Chu Xing was puzzled: "Yan Feng, are you listening? Or... are you unwilling?"
"I'm listening...of course I do." Yan Feng said.
After he finished speaking, there was silence on the phone for a moment before Yan Feng's hoarse voice came again: "Chu Xing, can't you take a long-term view? I'm worried that being too hasty will increase the risk."
"It's too late." Chu Xing said.
He took a deep breath and said, "My mom is a key figure now. My grandma's medical skills are one of the keys to whether my dad can wake up. Another key is my mom."
"Then... do you need us to go with you?" Yan Feng said. He knew that it was useless to say more at this moment, and the only thing he could do was to give as much support and help as possible.
Chu Xing: "No need. Chen Yi and I will go, you and the brothers should take care of Ru Meng."
"OK, don't worry! We will take care of the rest." Yan Feng said.
He felt that this was the first time in his twenty-something years of life that he felt breathing was so difficult.
There was silence on both sides of the phone for a moment.
Yan Feng blew the hair on his forehead and spoke first: "I've been there once. The mountain road is winding and the road conditions are dangerous. You have to be very alert when driving. You have to drive carefully."
Chu Xing: "Okay, that's it, I'll leave the house to you!"
"We are brothers, so let's not be so polite. Keep your phone open and contact us at any time."
"OK!"
It was already half past eight in the morning.
After ending the call with Yan Feng, Chu Xing called Chen Yi again.
As soon as the call was connected, before Chen Yi could speak, Chu Xing ordered: "Get ready, take ten people with you, we will leave for Lianshan Temple at ten o'clock."
"Mr. Chu..."
Chen Yi hesitated to speak.
Chu Xing knew what Chen Yi wanted to say: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Chen Yi took a deep breath and said, "How about... Lao Yang and I go first? There are four old, weak and disabled people at home who need to be taken care of, and the company also needs your support."
