Previously, when An Qingruo said that going shopping with her friends, it usually took her an entire day. This was the first time she came back so early to see An Qingruo.
An Qingruo was in a good mood as she nodded towards Ruan Qingwan: ”En, friends only have temporary matters, so we'll leave after drinking a cup of coffee.”
Just as An Qingruo finished speaking, the home phone on the table suddenly rang.
Hearing the rapid and sharp bell sound, Ruan Qingwan's heart inexplicably jumped violently. She could not help but have a bad premonition.
When An Qingruo heard the urgent sound of the phone ringing, the corner of her mouth raised, revealing Xiao Ronglai's face without a sound.
Ruan Qingwan was stunned for a few seconds before regaining her senses. She subconsciously picked up the phone: Hello?
Just as Ruan Qingwan spoke, an unfamiliar voice came out from the phone: ”Excuse me, are you Mrs. Lu?”
The doubt in Ruan Qingwan's heart grew deeper as she asked hesitantly, ”I am … What's wrong? What's the matter? ”
”I am a policeman from the west region of Yao City, is Lu Yaozong your husband? ”Please come to the West Side Division right now.”
Hearing the two words ”police”, Ruan Qingwan's heart heavily skipped a beat. The hand she was holding the phone with was subconsciously gripping the phone tightly, she spoke with difficulty, as if her throat was stuffed with a ball of cotton: ”It's my mister … What's wrong? What happened to her? Did something happen? ”
”It's like this, Mr. Lu Yaozong died after jumping off a building, now he wants to invite your family over to the Public Security Bureau to claim the corpse.”
With that, Ruan Qingwan's entire body froze, she instantly felt as though all the energy in her body was gone, her legs went soft, her body swayed uncontrollably, the world spun in front of her eyes, and with a bang, the phone in her hand slid down, smashing fiercely onto the ground.
Seeing that Ruan Qingwan was about to fall to the ground, the servant Nanny Wang who was at the side quickly supported Ruan Qingwan and asked, ”Madam, Madam, what happened to you?”
In just an instant, Ruan Qingwan's eyes became red, and when she heard Nanny Wang's voice, it was as if she came back to reality. She fiercely bit her lips, and staggered as she rushed over to grab the microphone on the ground. What did you just say. There must be a mistake! Right! You must be mistaken! ”
”There's no mistake, we found some ID information on the dead person and called. Your family should be able to come to the Police station as soon as possible!”
Hearing the police say the word ”dead” without any hesitation, Ruan Qingwan bit her lips until the skin started to bleed. The piercing pain made Ruan Qingwan feel as if her mouth was covered in blood.
The hand holding the phone loosened and it fell to the ground with a thud.
Ruan Qingwan collapsed to the ground powerlessly, as if her soul had left her body. She only muttered: ”Impossible … This is impossible... How could it be like this … They must have made a mistake. There must have been a mistake. She had been fine since the day she left … ”I don't believe it, I don't believe it …”
As he said that, Ruan Qingwan frantically took out her own phone, her hands trembling intensely as she dialed Lu Yaozong's number.
A cold beep sounded out from the phone.
After ringing for more than half a day, he hung up automatically …
”Why didn't you pick up the phone? Why didn't you pick up the phone? Hurry up and answer the phone... ”I'm begging you, hurry and pick up the phone, hubby …” With a pale face, Ruan Qingwan called three times in a row …
