Song Lan quickly dialed the number. On the first attempt, no one answered. The second time, it was picked up almost immediately, and a woman's voice came through. "Hello, Assistant Hu is not here. I am his assistant. You can tell me what you need."
"No, that's fine. My last name is Shang. When he returns, please let him know to give me a call back."
"I'm sorry, but Assistant Hu has some matters to attend to and probably won't be coming to the office for the next few days."
Due to Zhu Junjie's infidelity, Gaoqing's reputation has declined. The higher-ups emphasized the need to keep Assistant Hu's injury a secret. The assistant dared not speak carelessly to Song Lan, saying, "I am temporarily taking over Assistant Hu's work for now. If it's work-related, you can communicate directly with me."
"What happened with Assistant Hu?"
"Sorry, I can't disclose Assistant Hu's personal matters."
The assistant kept tight-lipped, and Song Lan couldn't get any information, so she ended the call.
After sending the message to Assistant Hu, Contact was unreachable, which...
Song Lan looked at Zhu Junqiao again and said, "You are the director of Gaoqing; you should be able to find out about Assistant Hu's current situation, right?"
"Sure, Assistant Hu is my brother's right-hand man. If he is not at the company during working hours, he will report in advance. I'll ask around for you."
Zhu Junqiao originally intended to call Zhu Junjie directly, as that had always been her habit.
She felt like there was a needle in her heart when she thought about what Zhu Junjie had done recently. She called her assistant to ask about Assistant Hu's condition. "Does the director know about Assistant Hu falling down the stairs? I heard from colleagues who saw the scene that Assistant Hu was seriously injured. I hope he will be safe and sound, and return to work soon."
"Assistant Hu got injured?"
Zhu Junqiao has dealt with Assistant Hu a lot, and upon hearing this, her expression changed suddenly.
"The director doesn't know about Assistant Hu?"
"I just got off the plane. Tell me in detail about Assistant Hu's situation."
"I'm not very clear about it either."
"Don't beat around the bush. Tell me as much as you know!"
Zhu Junqiao urged, "It is said that someone was delivering documents to Assistant Hu but couldn't find him. When they were about to go downstairs, they found Assistant Hu lying on the stairs, covered in blood. That person immediately called the police and dialed 120. Now Assistant Hu has been taken to the hospital for treatment, and the police are conducting an investigation at the company to determine whether Assistant Hu's fall down the stairs was an accident."
If it was an accident, then falling down the stairs and getting injured that severely seems too serious.
Assistant Hu has a good personality and hasn't offended anyone in the company, so it's unlikely that someone would harm him. Therefore, most people are inclined to think it was an accident. "It's okay, you can go back to your work."
Zhu Junqiao hung up the phone with a serious expression.
Song Lan sitting next to her overheard the conversation between Zhu Junqiao and her assistant, and slowly lowered her head to look at her phone.
She didn't want to complicate things, but what made her worry was that Assistant Hu had just sent her a message and then had a serious accident.
If he is discovered sending messages, it could lead to his death...
Song Lan suddenly felt her hands and feet turn cold.
She has to return to her country.
After this idea popped up, Song Lan arrived at the hotel and avoided Tong Tong, pulling Zhu Junqiao aside. "You stay here and keep Tong Tong company for a few days. I need to go back to my country for a while."
"Are you worried about Assistant Hu?"
"Your assistant said he is not doing well, and I want to go back and check on him."
Zhu Junqiao also wanted to go back, but Tong Tong had just excitedly come out to play with them. If they had to head home before their trip even started, Tong Tong would be disappointed. Since Song Lan suggested returning to their home country and someone had to stay behind to accompany Tong Tong, that task fell to Zhu Junqiao. Zhu Junqiao agreed, saying, "Then you talk to Tong Tong and make sure she doesn't get upset. Once we return home, let me know about Assistant Hu's situation in a timely manner."
"I will."
Song Lan was now eager to return home, so she went to explain the situation to Tong Tong.
Tong Tong knew Assistant Hu, who usually took great care of her, and she liked him very much.
She heard Zhu Junqiao and Song Lan chatting in the car, and found out that Assistant Hu was injured. She heard that Song Lan was going back to visit Assistant Hu. Although she felt a little disappointed in her heart, she didn't stop her, "Mommy, Uncle will definitely be fine!"
"Okay."
Tong Tong is so understanding!
Song Lan couldn't bear to part with Tong Tong. She embraced Tong Tong and gently patted his back. After saying goodbye to Tong Tong, she quickly grabbed her luggage and left the hotel.
She was lucky; on her recent flight back home, someone had canceled their ticket, and after securing a ticket for herself, she hurried to the airport.
On the plane, Song Lan felt anxious.
She found out through her inquiries that Assistant Hu had been taken to Mutau Hospital. By the time she arrived, Assistant Hu was still in the emergency room undergoing resuscitation, and the attending physician had changed to Wei Sheng.
Even with Wei Sheng as the lead surgeon, it was not a guarantee of success, as Assistant Hu's condition was indeed critical, having received several notices of imminent danger.
Song Lan Looking at the red light of the emergency room, my heart clenches.
Assistant Hu's parents are in the emergency room, and upon receiving the news, they are rushing to Hai-City. Standing at the entrance of the emergency room are several colleagues who are usually close to Assistant Hu.
Song Lan looks around and doesn't see Zhu Junjie.
Zhu Junjie has a good relationship with Assistant Hu. They have a superior-subordinate relationship at work, but in real life, they are friends. Assistant Hu is in a life-threatening situation now, but Zhu Junjie doesn't even show up... How could someone become so heartless!
Song Lan saw the message from Assistant Hu about the address, and she asked the Gaoqing staff on duty in the emergency room, "Has Manager Zhu been here?"
"Zhu... Manager Zhu should be busy."
On the internet, the news of Zhu Junjie and Shangxin staying at the hotel spread widely. Although it has been suppressed for now, the Gaoqing staff already knew that Zhu Junjie and Song Lan should have broken up.
They are employees of Gaoqing, and in the future, they will still have to rely on Gaoqing for their livelihood. It's best for them not to meddle in the boss's affairs, and they shouldn't speak out of turn. Song Lan understood the meaning behind his words, but Zhu Junjie still hasn't come over. Very well!
If the person who went to the company today is really an imposter, does he think that looking like Zhu Junjie and having similar DNA will let him get away with it? She must find his flaw! Song Lan recalled the day she went to the amusement park with Zhu Junjie.
Zhu Junjie is afraid of heights, this is his weakness.
What if that impostor is also afraid of heights?
It's a fifty-fifty chance, what if she guesses correctly?
There are still some methods worth trying. However, the imposter is difficult to deal with; their arrogant attitude makes it seem like others owe them a huge debt. If she invites him to the amusement park, he would probably refuse outright and add a few insults about her being childish.
It's all up to her; she must find a way to get him to go with her to the haunted house!
Song Lan had been in the hospital until four in the morning, waiting for the emergency treatment to finish. When the lights in the emergency room dimmed, Song Lan's heart nearly jumped out of his throat.
