Chapter 605 Encountered a.s.sa.s.sination
Song Yunxuan spent three days in New Yerk, but she still had no news of the flight.
She was so downhearted and tried to digest Chu Mochen’s death.
Meanwhile, Chu Mochen’s mother, who also came to New Yerk, had grown much thinner.
Song Yunxuan’s appearance slightly stunned Chu Mochen’s mother. Then her eyes went red.
Chu Mochen’s father, who was standing beside them, set his jaw grimly, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.
The Chu Family was renowned.
But Chu Mochen was the only son. The old couple had no other son except Chu Mochen.
But for some unaccountable reason, they lost their son in their old age. No one could calmly accept that.
Seeing that Chu Mochen’s mother’s eyes were red and she seemed to shed tears at any second, Song Yunxuan pressed her lips and walked up to Chu Mochen’s mother, comforting her, “Mrs. Chu…”
Chu Mochen’s mother frowned on hearing Song Yunxuan called her Mrs. Chu.
Song Yunxuan knew that Chu Mochen’s mother didn’t like being called like that, so she immediately added, “Mom, don’t be so sad. No news is good news.”
Hearing that, Chu Mochen’s mother looked up at her, saying, “Such a pity that you haven’t had babies.”
Song Yunxuan was stunned by Chu Mochen’s mother’s words.
She was right…
It was a pity that Song Yunxuan hadn’t given Chu Mochen a son or a daughter by the time he died.
The Chu Family had already seen through the thing that Song Yunxuan had been pretending to be pregnant.
She took a deep breath, remaining silent.
Then she murmured, “Sorry.”
Yes, she felt sorry.
She felt sorry that she had been using contraception and unwilling to give Chu Mochen a baby.
She had been blinded by the hatred. Even though her heart had been slowly melting because of Chu Mochen’s love and less tough, she could not completely let down her guard finally.
She did have to say sorry to the Chu Family.
Seeing that Chu Mochen’s mother was in a bad mood, Chu Mochen’s father took her in his arms and comforted her.
Seeing that Chu Mochen’s mother and father were close, Song Yunxuan was sorry about what she had done.
If Chu Mochen had been alive, Chu Mochen would have comforted Song Yunxuan when she was sad like that.
When thinking of this, Song Yunxuan felt it was hard to breathe.
She pressed her lips and took a step back.
Noticing that, Mei Qi who was standing by asked, “Are you OK, Manager Song?”
Song Yunxuan waved her hand, replying, “I’m fine.”
The atmosphere was thick with tension.
The air seemed to be filled with a sort of sadness. Though Song Yunxuan was waiting for the news in the office building of the airline and she was surrounded by the victims’ families, Song Yunxuan felt as if she had been at a funeral.
Song Yunxuan felt bad.
Moreover, she had an upset stomach.
Seeing that Song Yunxuan was frowning, Mei Qi supported her, asking, “How about having some rest, Manager Song?”
“No need. I will wait here.”
During the three days, the victims’ families had been waiting for the official news in the office building of the airline.
However, there was no news after three days’ waiting.
As time went by, the families had gradually given up the hope of finding survivors.
Every one of them knew that hoped faded as time went by.
What was worse, now they didn’t even know where the plane crashed.
Song Yunxuan pressed her lips and tried to calm her anxiety and sorrow, waiting for the time to pa.s.s.
Meanwhile, some of the families waiting in the airline even had a nervous breakdown during the long wait.
They called out their families’ names, choking with sobs.
Chu Mochen’s mother also felt bad. Chu Mochen’s father saw that his wife couldn’t stop crying.
Then he slowly turned to look at Song Yunxuan.
Sensing that Chu Mochen’s father turned to look at her, Song Yunxuan walked up to him, calling, “Dad.”
Hearing that Song Yunxuan called him dad, Chu Mochen’s father felt somewhat relieved, replying to Song Yunxuan, “Your mom felt sad. I’ll send her home now.”
Song Yunxuan nodded, replying, “I’ll inform you if there’s any news.”
Hearing that, Chu Mochen’s father nodded and took Chu Mochen’s mother away from the airline.
Seeing that Chu Mochen’s father and mother left, Song Yunxuan pressed her lips and turned to look at the office on the upper floor.
“Would you like something to eat, Manager Song? You haven’t eaten anything since you came here this morning.”
“I’m not hungry.” Song Yunxuan replied, lowering her eyes.
She didn’t want others to see the sorrow in her eyes.
How could she eat anything before getting the news of Chu Mochen?
Seeing that she didn’t want to eat anything, Mei Qi frowned, adding, “Manager Song, you have to take good care of yourself.”
“I have no appet.i.te.”
Now Song Yunxuan had no mood or appet.i.te, so she didn’t want to eat anything.
Song Yunxuan frowned and sighed. Then it seemed that something suddenly occurred to her. She turned to look at Mei Qi, asking, “Is everything arranged in Yuncheng?”
“Yes. They’ll act today.”
“OK.”
Song Yunxuan responded.
…
A sudden shot pierced the silence in the inpatient department of the People’s Hospital in Yuncheng.
Then there came Gu Changle’s piercing scream, which could be heard by all the people in the building of the inpatient department.
Hearing the piercing scream, the nurses and doctors all immediately found that it was Gu Changle’s voice and hurried to Gu Changle’s ward.
Meanwhile, the other patients in the building who heard the bang of a gun all felt restless and unsettled.
Some of them closed the doors of their wards, forbidding anyone from going in or out.
And some others called the police with their trembling fingers.
Hearing the bang of a gun and Gu Changle’s scream, Tan Yi called Shao Tianze, who was in the Shao enterprise at that time.
He dialed Shao Tianze’s office number, hurrying to Gu Changle’s ward.
When he reached Gu Changle’s ward, he saw that the dean of the People’s Hospital and some young doctors were gathering at the door, not knowing whether to enter or not.
Tan Yi frowned and looked at the dean whose hair was greying at the sides, asking, “What are you waiting for?”
The dean who hid behind the young doctors replied with a trembling voice, “I heard a gunshot. Is it a shooting inside?”
If it was a shooting, things would get serious.
Not only the Shao Family would pick a quarrel with them, but the whole People’s Hospital would become notorious.
The dean felt worried and was scared that the gunman was still in the ward. Seeing that Tan Yi was going to open the door, the dean even wanted to stop him, saying, “Hold your horses. We’d better wait for the police to come first.”
When the police arrived, at least they could be escorted to a safe place even if the gunman was still in the ward.
But now the police hadn’t arrived yet, so the gunman could cause more unnecessary casualties if they opened the door rashly.
Hearing the dean’s words, Tan Yi drew back his hands and stepped back as the dean told him to do, replying, “Fine. Let’s wait for the police.”
By then, Gu Changle might have probably been scared to death.
Tan Yi knew that, but he didn’t say it.
Seeing that Tan Yi had given up the idea of opening the door, the dean wiped the sweat on his forehead. Then he frowned and repeatedly looked to the corridor.
The dean hoped that the police could arrive as soon as possible.
However, the more he hoped the police could arrive soon, the slower the police came.
After about five minutes, the police finally arrived.
The one who came along with the police was Shao Tianze.
Shao Tianze drove very fast. When he arrived at the hospital, he could not even remember how many red lights he went through.
Seeing that the dean and doctors were all waiting at the closed door, Shao Tianze blew up, roaring, “Where’s Changle?”
The dean gingerly pointed at the door of Gu Changle’s ward.
Shao Tianze immediately understood that the group of doctors had been waiting outside the ward since the thing happened, and no one dared to open the door and check what went on inside.
Shao Tianze’s blood boiled.
The police had arrived and started to break up the crowd. They also tried to ask Shao Tianze to step aside politely, “Mr. Shao, please wait in a safe ward. When the door is open, the gunman inside may shoot at any second. For your own safety, please leave here.”
Shao Tianze frowned and went to a relatively safe ward with the dean of the People’s Hospital and Tan Yi, listening to things going on outside.
In moments, they heard the police kicking the door open.
They thought a shooting might break out. However, there were no gunshots.
Hearing that there were no gunshots, Shao Tianze immediately opened the door and rushed out.
Seeing that Shao Tianze was in such a hurry, Tan Yi and the dean were both pondering.
While in Gu Changle’s ward, there was no one inside but Gu Changle, who was sprawling on the ground and too scared to say anything. Except her, there was a broken vase and a broken window.
Seeing that Gu Changle was lying on her stomach, Shao Tianze rushed over, picked her up, and put her onto the bed, asking, “Are you OK?”
Gu Changle looked pale, and she wanted to say something. Meanwhile, her lips were trembling with fear.
Because she was too scared, she couldn’t speak clearly, “Someone… someone wanted to…”
“What?” Shao Tianze looked at her anxiously.
Gu Changle said with great difficulty, “To kill me.”
Shao Tianze immediately knitted his brows.
It looked that Gu Changle wasn’t hurt and she was not bleeding.
But Gu Changle was half-dead from fear.
She continued in Shao Tianze’s arms, trembling with fear, “They wanted to kill me…”
“Don’t be afraid. You are safe now.”
Shao Tianze held her in his arms and pecked her on the forehead lovingly and worriedly.
However, the kiss didn’t calm Gu Changle down at all. Instead, it made her tremble even more violently.
Shao Tianze didn’t know why Gu Changle would react like that.
At that moment, Tan Yi, who entered with Shao Tianze, said, “Mr. Shao, Miss Gu doesn’t look well. Please step aside and let us check her up.”
Only then did Shao Tianze realize that he should have let the doctors see Gu Changle first.
So he prepared to move away from Gu Changle.
However, Gu Changle grabbed Shao Tianze’s coat as she felt that he was about to leave, begging, “No… Tianze, don’t leave… Stay with me. I feel scared.”
She clung to Shao Tianze’s coat, unwilling to let go.
It seemed as if she would be killed once she let go.
