Susu said worriedly, "Who took her away? Will she be in danger?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Mei came out of the kitchen to call them for dinner.
Susu wasn't hungry at all. She hadn't exercised much at home these days and had been constantly consuming various nutritional supplements.
"Why don't you eat first? I'll eat later when I'm hungry."
Tianyi felt that eating alone was boring, so he said, "I'm not hungry yet either. Let's all have dinner together when Xiao Xingxing gets back."
Susu checked the time. It was still half an hour before Xiao Xingxing would be home.
After Xiao Xingxing stopped boarding at school, she usually took the school bus home, or Xiao Lin would pick her up.
Xiao Lin was unavailable to pick her up today, so Xiao Xingxing would take the school bus. However, because their home was the furthest away, the school bus driver always dropped Xiao Xingxing off last.
As Susu was talking with Tianyi, they saw Xiao Lin drive back, with a police car following closely behind.
Susu and Tianyi got up and went to the door. They saw two police officers get out of the police car, one of whom was Su Kangxi.
Xiao Lin led them over and said, "Young Master, Young Madam, Officer Su and his colleague are here to investigate and ask about the content of your previous phone call with Miss Zhan."
"Alright," Tianyi said considerately, "Xiao Lin, you've worked hard. Go and eat quickly, Xiao Mei has already prepared the meal."
Xiao Lin responded and went to find Xiao Mei first.
Susu looked at Kangxi eagerly. Just as she was about to speak, Kangxi said first, "Sister Susu, let's sit down and talk in the room. My police station is responsible for this area, and I am in charge of this accident."
Tianyi nodded and invited Su Kangxi and the other officer into the living room.
After they sat down, Kangxi said, "We didn't find Miss Zhan's phone either inside or outside the car, but according to her phone number, you were the last person she contacted, Sister Susu."
"Yes, she told me before the accident that she was coming to see me and had bought some nutritional supplements. She said she was already on her way. I estimated she would arrive within an hour, so I prepared everything and waited for her, but I never saw her."
Kangxi asked again, "Sister Susu, besides this, did Miss Zhan say anything else on the phone?" The officer sitting next to him was taking notes.
Susu shook her head and said, "No, she probably wanted to chat after we met. Who would have thought an accident would happen?"
"Did you check the surveillance cameras along the road?" Tianyi asked.
Kangxi replied, "The surveillance cameras on this stretch of road were damaged after Miss Zhan's accident. It's likely intentional destruction."
"It broke after the accident. What happened before the accident?" Tianyi asked again.
Kangxi glanced at the officer beside him with a troubled expression and said, "We are investigating that, and it's not convenient to disclose. However, I can tell you one thing: this was not an accidental car crash, it was man-made."
Tianyi didn't press further, understanding their work principles. He had been to the accident scene, and there was a point he had to remind Kangxi about. He said, "At the time of the accident, Miss Zhan's car was not facing our house, but the small road leading to the cliff. Did someone want to cause her to have an accident, or did they want to kill her? If the car crash didn't kill her, how would they take her life?"
Kangxi seemed startled and immediately stood up, saying, "Mr. Qin, thank you. It seems I need to notify the police department to send more personnel for search and rescue."
Tianyi nodded and said, "Hurry up and get to work."
Kangxi and his colleague left immediately. As soon as they got into the police car, Kangxi contacted his superior to request support.
His colleague asked somewhat confusedly, "Captain Su, what's going on? Aren't we investigating those two black sedans?"
"The person who caused Miss Zhan's accident might have wanted to kill her. They might have taken her out of the car and dragged her to a secluded place in the mountains to silence her," Kangxi instructed the driver to drive towards the road leading to the cliff.
At the same time, he ordered the police forces already on the mountain to begin searching along this small road, prioritizing the rescue.
Susu watched Kangxi and his colleagues leave in such a hurry, feeling a bit bewildered. She asked, "Husband, what did you mean by what you just said?"
"It's nothing. I'm worried that Zhan Jiayi is still nearby."
"You mean she's already been, been murdered?" Susu asked nervously.
"Not necessarily. Perhaps she was kidnapped, but the kidnappers didn't have time to take her away from this area." Tianyi didn't dare tell her that Zhan Jiayi might be in grave danger, fearing it would affect her recovery after her miscarriage.
Susu felt a little more at ease. "I hope Kangxi and the others can find her soon."
"Okay, I'll go up and change my clothes. You wait for Xiao Xingxing to come back." He said, heading upstairs to the study, not the bedroom.
Susu had guessed some of it but remained uneasy.
Tianyi went to the study and called the person he had assigned to help Zhan Jiayi restructure Xie Corporation. He asked them to pay attention to the movements of Huangfu Group. If Zhan Jiayi really met with an accident, this restructuring would be entirely according to Huangfu Group's wishes.
Xie Corporation would still be split up, and they would still take away Xie Corporation's best subsidiaries. What remained would be projects facing desperate losses and small companies, which would be no different from bankruptcy.
Their company, Aoxiang, had no shares in Xie Corporation. This time, they were merely assisting Zhan Jiayi.
The shares and benefits that Zhan Jiayi had privately promised to Aoxiang would only be realized after the restructuring.
Now, everything had become uncertain.
...
Zhan Jiayi woke up with excruciating pain in every inch of her body, completely unaware of her whereabouts.
She only remembered that when she still had a faint consciousness, she seemed to have been lifted by someone, then thrown out, falling and falling...
At that time, she wanted to reach out and grab something, but she had no strength.
Due to the intense pain, she became fully conscious and found herself trapped between two protruding rocks on the cliff face, with the sea full of reefs below.
She had no time to feel fear, nor could she shout. She forgot the pain all over her body. With the slightest movement, small stones would roll down.
She didn't know how she ended up in such a place, with her life hanging by a thread.
The instinct for survival forced her to calm down and look around and above.
She was in the middle of the cliff. It was a long distance to climb up. She was injured and lacked the physical strength, making it very difficult.
Fortunately, there was an indentation on the left, which should be a cave. If she could climb into the cave, it would be safer than being stuck in her current position.
But how could she climb? A slight misstep would send her plunging into the abyss.
She carefully observed the rocks and plants on the left that she could use for support. She held her breath and painstakingly adjusted her posture, positioning herself in a way that was more conducive to climbing.
Thus, enduring the severe pain, she climbed towards the left, inch by inch. The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the whistling of the sea breeze.
When she learned that Xie Zhendong was gone, she had also considered ending her own life.
But ever since she decided to complete what Xie Zhendong had left unfinished, she was unwilling to die easily. She was determined to keep this life, and she would not compromise even in the deepest despair.
