Chapter 123 - Find him (2/2)
Guilt gnawed at his inside as he followed them, suddenly his phone rang snapping him from his guilt. Removing the phone from his pocket he saw the caller ID it was Edward Wu calling him.
”What happened? Is she okay?” Edward Wu asked the moment the call was connected.
”She slit her wrist.” Jun Mo whispered.
”What?! So where are you now?” Edward Wu asked
”Hospital.”
Edward Wu frowned when he heard Jun Mo's voice.
”Are you okay?” Edward Wu asked with concern laced in his voice.
”I- I didn't get to her earlier. If something happens to her- ”
Edward Wu heaved a sigh, why was everything falling apart?
”I'm coming there, text me the address.”
At this moment Jun Mo remembered the address Yan Mei gave him before passing out.
”No, she gave me an address before passing out. She begged me to find him.”
Edward Wu's brows furrowed when he heard him.
”What are you talking about?”
”I think she is talking about Lei Zhao. She gave me the address before passing out.” Jun Mo repeated. His voice slightly excited.
”I will send you the address. I think you should go to New York. Don't worry, henry Liu and I will take care of everything.”
Edward Wu turned to look at Henry Lu and agreed.
”Alright, send me the address.”

Ye Xing groaned feeling like his head was spinning. His skin crawled with the sensation of ants playing on it. His eyelids felt heavy and his throat felt sore and dry.
His mind was slowly trying to process what was going on as he struggled to open his eyelids.
Ye Xing fluttered his eyes open. Sunlight beamed through the window to his right. He heard whispers making him frown.
Ye Xing realized he was bandaged on the head. Suddenly he remembered that he and Lei Zhao was attack when they were going to the airport. Panic clawed through him as he fought to sit upright but the pain in his lower abdomen stopped him.
Ye Xing groaned, he hated feeling weak. 'Where was Lei Zhao? Was he okay?' From his surroundings he realized he was in an apartment.
Suddenly the door opened showing a woman. Her head was tied in a messy bun and his glasses was too big on her face. A trace of surprise passed rhough the woman's eyes.
”You are awake!” She exclaimed.
YE Xing's face contorted with a frown as he looked at her.
”Who are you?” He asked huskily in English. Even though the woman was a Chinese he wasn't sure she could speak Mandarin.
The woman quickly rushed to his side and poured a glass of water for him.
”I'm An Qi. I saw you in the middle of the road when I was coming back from work. Your car was in accident.”
Ye Xing nodded, ”Why didn't you take me to the hospital?”
An Qi shrugged, ”Actually I saw a group of dangerous men picking up another man lying on the road too. I waited until they left before I approached you. So, I thought if I take you the hospital they would come and kill you like in the movies.”
Ye Xing stiffened when he heard her, ”What did you say?!”
An Qi stepped back in fright. ”Sorry.”
Seeing the scared look on her face Ye Xing apologized awkwardly.
”Ah, it's okay. Yes, they took the man away.”
Ye Xing frowned deepened. He knew whoever took Lei Zhao was the same person responsible for their accident. But who is it?
