Tong Tong is their daughter, and now she is missing. Song Lan is also very anxious.
At this moment, he needs to stay calm and not lose his composure, so as not to make Song Lan more anxious. Zhu Junjie tells himself that he must remain composed as he sits nervously on the sofa. To avoid pacing around and causing unnecessary psychological pressure on Song Lan, he tries to keep still, but his hands and feet are going numb.
However, he can't focus on that; when he recognizes that the explosion occurred in an area where A-Hu's people are present, he swallows hard in tension.
Hearing this, Song Lan becomes even more agitated, her voice trembling slightly as she asks, "Are you sure?"
Finally, there is news about Tong Tong, but it is distressing news. Song Lan's hand holding the phone starts to tremble as well. The recent explosion couldn't possibly be...
It can't be!
Her Tong Tong must be blessed by fate; nothing will happen to her!
"I'm sure; I've seen those people more than once."
The resolution of the phone's camera is decent nowadays. Although the distance is far, the camera can be adjusted, and the people being filmed are relatively clear.
In the video, figures on the boat flash by. He pauses the video to confirm carefully; those people are indeed A-Hu's men. Even if he could mistake one person, he couldn't possibly mistake them all!
"I'll call A-Hu."
Zhu Junjie fears that A-Hu might bring back bad news, worried that Song Lan won't be able to handle it. He wants to step aside to make the call.
Song Lan is perceptive; how could she not see through his thoughts? She reaches out and grabs his arm, saying, "You... you can make the call here; put it on speaker; I want to listen!"
"Song Lan..."
"I am Tong Tong's mother. No matter what happens to Tong Tong, I need to know immediately."
She dislikes being left in the dark; it only leads her to overthink things.
Zhu Junjie calls A-Hu, but when A-Hu jumped into the sea, his phone fell into the water. By the time he realized it, he was already in a car. He sends someone back to look for it.
Zhu Junjie tries calling several times but cannot get through. It shouldn't be that A-Hu dislikes him calling too often and has blocked him.
As Zhu Junjie fails to reach A-Hu, his mood grows heavier. He quickly calls A-Song instead.
A-Song's phone also cannot be reached.
A-Hu and A-Song are usually on missions together; their phones shouldn't both be unreachable unless they are in an area with no signal. The dock is a place where calls can be made.
The more Zhu Junjie thinks about it, the more anxious he becomes.
He quickly searched through the contacts. Although he had a good relationship with A-Hu, he only had A-Hu's and A-Song's phone numbers. He couldn't contact them and wanted to get up and head to the dock to look for them.
"A-Hu is Manager Yan's person; he might have a way to get in touch."
"You're right. A-Hu follows Manager Yan's arrangements and will report progress to him at any time!"
He was too anxious and forgot this point! Zhu Junjie quickly dialed Yan Wen's number and said urgently, "Can you contact A-Hu?"
"A-Hu is taking Tong Tong to the hospital."
Yan Wen had also seen the explosion at the dock. Unable to reach A-Hu, he called others under him to learn about the situation on-site.
Hearing that A-Hu was fine and that Tong Tong was on her way to the hospital, Zhu Junjie felt no relief from his anxiety. "Is Tong Tong injured?"
"The doctor said her vital signs are stable, but she has injuries on her shoulder and neck, with the shoulder injury being more severe. She is currently in a coma but is not in life-threatening danger. Wei Sheng has already rushed to the hospital."
Just as Yan Wen hung up the phone to call Zhu Junjie back, Zhu Junjie called him.
Worried about Zhu Junjie's concern, Yan Wen detailed Tong Tong's condition to him.
"Thank you! Thank you for saving Tong Tong!"
Zhu Junjie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead upon hearing this. "Which hospital is Tong Tong going to?"
He needed to rush over with Song Lan to see Tong Tong so they could feel at ease.
"The dock is relatively close to Mutau Hospital."
Yan Wen did not ask which hospital it was. Mutau Hospital was currently managed by Wei Sheng, so they should go there directly.
Yan Wen analyzed.
"Thank you!"
Zhu Junjie thanked Yan Wen again, saying, "Once everything is settled, I will repay you properly!"
A-Hu was quick; finding someone in such a short time surprised Zhu Junjie. He had thought that he would need to negotiate with A-Hu for contact. Now, he didn't need to do anything; A-Hu had already rescued the person!
Others said Hai-City was Yan Wen's territory; he hadn't felt it so strongly before, but this time he had a profound experience of it.
"Actually..."
Regarding this thank you, Yan Wen didn't feel entirely at ease. He hesitated before speaking up.
Zhu Junjie was anxious to see Tong Tong and was about to hang up the phone.
Always concise, Yan Wen spoke again, causing Zhu Junjie to pause his action of hanging up the phone. "What do you mean, actually?"
Is Tong Tong's injury really as light as Yan Wen just mentioned? Zhu Junjie's face turned pale with anxiety.
"Actually, Mong Si provided significant help to A-Hu in this matter."
Previously, Mong Si had told Yan Wen not to inform Zhu Junjie about his call to avoid making him overthink. Now that the situation was resolved, Yan Wen felt it necessary for Zhu Junjie to know Mong Si's role in this incident.
"What did he do?" Zhu Junjie’s expression darkened further upon hearing Mong Si's name. Ever since Mong Si had taken severe action against him, an insurmountable barrier had formed between them. Every time he heard Mong Si's name, it felt like touching a taboo.
"It was his people who discovered the kidnapper's whereabouts and provided that information to me."
"He provided you with the kidnapper's whereabouts? Ha! It sounds so unreal! If you ask me, he might be the one who kidnapped Tong Tong, wanting me to surrender and let him manipulate me! Otherwise, how could he know the kidnapper's trail and provide it to you?"
"Their original plan was to kidnap you."
This information came from A-Hu’s men who had found Mong Si’s subordinates and obtained the news from them.
"Kidnap me?"
"Yes."
Yan Wen explained the whole situation to Zhu Junjie. "They stumbled upon Tong Tong by chance. The contribution of A-Hu in saving her wasn’t significant; by the time A-Hu arrived, Mong Si had already rescued her from the cabin and informed A-Hu that there were explosives on board."
The situation had been very dangerous. If Mong Si hadn’t alerted A-Hu, it’s likely that A-Hu and A-Song would have suffered more than just a few injuries from debris.
Zhu Junjie fell silent.
"Mong Si is quite contradictory; he's harsh towards you but treats Tong Tong well. I heard he’s seriously injured and in the hospital; he probably won’t be able to get out of bed for two or three months. You can deal with him however you want."
Yan Wen hung up the phone.
Zhu Junjie harbored hatred towards Mong Si; that was a matter for the Zhu Family. Yan Wen could assist but couldn’t offer any advice on how Zhu Junjie should handle Mong Si. He simply presented the facts to Zhu Junjie so that he would have a standard for decision-making moving forward.
