Chapter 297
If it weren’t for the resident who accidentally found her, it’s likely that her existence would have gone unnoticed for a long time.
However, another resident said that at noon yesterday, they saw a nanny car drive up the mountain and then come down not long after.
They found it very strange as nobody would drive such a nice car up the deserted mountain, so they took a closer look and seemed to see a few people sitting inside.
The police are currently investigating and hope the resident can provide more useful clues.
Turning off the TV, An Xin took out the phone she used specifically to talk to Brother Qiang and dialed his number, “Did you watch the TV? An Ruo has been found. How did it go with the inquiries you made today?”
Brother Qiang replied grimly, “The scene has been sealed off, we can’t get anywhere near it. We didn’t dare to ask around, for fear of arousing police suspicion. Miss An, you have many connections, why don’t you find out whether that woman is dead or not?”
An Xin’s face turned pale as she sharply retorted, “What do you mean by that?”
“The TV didn’t say she was dead, I suspect she’s still alive. The knife didn’t hit her vital parts, and if it wasn’t a critical hit, the blood will clot naturally, she wouldn’t die from excessive blood loss. Anyway, we can’t be careless until we have definite news.”
“She should be dead, falling from such a height…”
“You can’t be sure of that, people with severe injuries can survive three or four days without food or water.”
The more An Xin thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She could not be sure without seeing An Ruo’s body with her own eyes, “Alright, I’ll confirm it.”
After hanging up on Brother Qiang, she dialed Tang Yuchen’s number. The phone rang for a long time without an answer, but on the second attempt, it was finally picked up.
“Hello…” Tang Yuchen’s voice came through, sounding very low.
With concern, An Xin asked him, “You left in a hurry today, did anything happen? I don’t mean anything by it, I just wanted to call and check on you.”
Tang Yuchen paused for a few seconds before replying indifferently, “I’m fine, it’s An Ruo who had a bit of an accident.”
“An Ruo? What happened to her?” An Xin asked nervously.
“I’m currently at the hospital, it’s inconvenient to talk, I’ll tell you after she’s out of the critical period,” he said, and then hung up the phone.
An Xin’s eyes widened in shock, her phone slipping from her hand.
What does ’out of the critical period’ mean?
Is An Ruo still alive?
That’s impossible, falling from such a height, and not being found all night, how could she possibly still be alive!
An Xin’s heart raced wildly, she had felt so happy during the day, but now she was gripped by the fear of falling into hell.
No, she couldn’t just sit around waiting for doom!
Struggling to suppress the panic in her heart, she dialed Tang Yuchen’s number again and as soon as he picked up, she hastily asked:
“Young Master Chen, what did you mean by your words just now? What happened to An Ruo? Tell me, how is she? Which hospital is she in? I will rush over immediately!”
“No visitors are allowed now, I’ll talk to you tomorrow, don’t call again.” The man hung up the phone without any room for negotiation.
An Xin was frantic, yet she didn’t dare call him again.
She called a friend of hers to find out which hospital An Ruo was in, but after several hours, her friend replied that they couldn’t find any information.
Clutching her phone tightly, An Xin could only pray in her heart that An Ruo wouldn’t make it through the critical period and that she would die quickly.
She didn’t close her eyes all night.
