Time had passed for so long, it should have landed by now. Why was there no news at all?
Jiang Nan Fang asked Zhou Jin Bei.
"Did your second brother message you?"
"No, if he were to message, it would be to you first, why would it be me? Hasn't he called you yet?"
Jiang Nan Fang felt a suffocating闷闷 in her heart, as if she had a bad premonition.
Perhaps the flight was delayed? No one could predict what might happen on the road. She'd wait and see.
All three were hungry and decided to order takeout.
While waiting for the food, Zhou Jin Bei turned on the TV.
Chen Jiao Jiao complained to her.
"You're so old, and you're still watching cartoons. Change to a news channel."
"I didn't realize you were someone who cared about national affairs."
Zhou Jin Bei casually switched to a news channel for her.
Then, the host's emotionless voice filled the entire room.
"A serious traffic accident occurred, the driver and the passenger in the co-pilot seat died at the scene. The other three also sustained injuries to varying degrees and have been rushed to the local hospital."
"It is reported that there were a total of five people in the car, and apart from the driver, the other four were all Chinese."
"Please continue to follow this station's reports for further developments."
Jiang Nan Fang was pouring herself some water when she heard the words "traffic accident" and "Chinese" and her hand instinctively trembled.
She lost her grip on the cup, and it clattered to the floor.
Without time to clean it up, she rushed to the TV and stared at the screen.
The image had already switched to the next frame.
"What's wrong? What did the TV just say? Who had a traffic accident?"
Zhou Jin Bei was also stunned by the sudden news.
Because she clearly saw the word "Switzerland" on the screen.
But the news had already finished, and she had only caught half of it, not knowing what exactly was said.
"I don't know... it couldn't be that coincidental, could it?"
After saying that, Jiang Nan Fang met her gaze, then guiltily looked away. They both turned to find their phones.
They couldn't find any news.
Searching for Zhan Bei Jue's name only brought up records of previous press conferences and symposiums.
No social news.
Jiang Nan Fang breathed a sigh of relief, trying to comfort herself.
"It's impossible, let's not scare ourselves. How could something happen to him?"
"Exactly. Let me call Engineer Li. He's traveling with Second Brother."
"You have someone else's number, why didn't you say so earlier? Hurry up and call!"
Jiang Nan Fang quickly went to her side, watching her make the call.
However, the result was disappointing.
Engineer Li's phone was also unreachable.
"This morning when I sent him off, I saw someone following him. Do you know his number?"
"No." Zhou Jin Bei was starting to panic.
"Let me call the HR manager to ask again."
As soon as the HR manager's call was connected, he told Zhou Jin Bei.
"Assistant Zhou, did you also see the news?"
"What news?" Zhou Jin Bei was in denial.
"Mr. Zhan and his group had an accident. They were involved in a serious car crash right after arriving in Switzerland. The specific details are unclear, but the company has already sent people over."
Zhou Jin Bei and Jiang Nan Fang were both stunned.
Was it really their car?
How could it be? How could it be! How!
A serious car accident right after landing, how could it be such a coincidence!
Impossible, they must have been hallucinating from drinking too much!
Jiang Nan Fang tried to calm herself, returned to the sofa, and called Zhan Bei Jue again.
But no matter how many times she called, no one answered.
She tried calling him on WeChat video, no answer.
Voice call, no answer.
After struggling for more than ten minutes, Jiang Nan Fang's hands were shaking so much she couldn't hold her phone.
"No, I have to go to Switzerland, I have to go find him, this is impossible!"
"Jiao Jiao, please book me a flight ticket right now!"
"Okay, okay, I'll book you a ticket. Do you have your passport with you?"
"Passport?"
Jiang Nan Fang finally remembered.
She had never been to Switzerland, so she didn't have a Swiss passport.
Seeing her expression, Zhou Jin Bei knew she didn't.
Zhou Jin Bei stomped her foot in frustration.
"I don't have one either! What do we do now?"
Chen Jiao Jiao also became anxious. Such a big thing had happened.
Flustered, she unlocked her phone.
"Isn't Lu Ming Zhe his good friend? If something really happened, he should know, right? I'll call him."
Lu Ming Zhe didn't know about Zhan Bei Jue's accident yet.
When he received Chen Jiao Jiao's call, he started joking with her.
Chen Jiao Jiao impatiently interrupted him.
"I'm asking you, have you contacted Mr. Zhan today? Do you know he went to Switzerland?"
"No, he went to Switzerland suddenly? This guy, when he needs me, he tells me everything. When he doesn't, it's like he's vanished into thin air."
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Did he not tell his ex-wife either? She's also looking for him?"
Chen Jiao Jiao couldn't be bothered to explain.
"Do you have a Swiss passport? Can you book a flight to Switzerland right now?"
"Fly to Switzerland now? What for? It's not that serious!"
"Even if he goes, it's for work. Besides his ex-wife, he's not interested in other women, he wouldn't mess around!"
Jiang Nan Fang snatched Chen Jiao Jiao's phone.
"He seems to have had an accident. I just saw the news, saying he had a serious car crash right after landing, and his phone is unreachable."
"Lu Ming Zhe, I'm begging you, can you go to Switzerland now?"
Lu Ming Zhe panicked when he heard this.
"What the hell, impossible! Okay, okay, I'll book a ticket and go see right away. Don't worry."
"Keep trying to contact him. Maybe it's just bad signal, or he's temporarily busy and can't answer the phone. It's impossible for it to be so coincidental."
The call ended, and the room fell into a deathly silence.
Jiang Nan Fang seemed to have Parkinson's, trembling from head to toe, even her teeth uncontrollably shaking.
Zhou Jin Bei's face was also ashen.
The Zhou family was in a mess, and their only hope was Zhan Bei Jue.
If even he fell, she couldn't imagine how the group would survive.
Moreover, Zhan Bei Jue was such a good person, and she didn't want her second brother to have an accident.
The three women sat together, holding each other tightly, giving each other strength.
"Nothing will happen, nothing will happen. Even if there was a car accident, my second brother would be fine."
"He will be blessed with good fortune. Let's not panic."
Although Jiang Nan Fang was panicked, her mind was still working.
Combining the recent events and Ke Jing Yu's attitude towards them, she suddenly thought of a deeper level.
Could it be...
If that were the case, Zhan Bei Jue was in a foreign land, the enemy was both visible and hidden, and he was in the open.
This was big trouble.
"Bei Bei, do you know anyone who can quickly get me a Swiss passport?"
"Huh?"
"I want to go to Switzerland, I want to find him!"
"I... I don't. How about you ask Ming Zhe Ge?"
Jiang Nan Fang called Lu Ming Zhe again.
"At most, I can wait until tomorrow. I'll pay any amount! Hurry up and help me think of a way!"
"Okay, okay."
Lu Ming Zhe said as he rushed to the airport.
"I'm calling someone to help you get it done, don't worry too much."
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud thud, and a voice came from Lu Ming Zhe's end.
"Damn, I think I hit someone!"
