Chapter 628 - No One Picked up the Call (1/2)
However, what was the purpose of entering Bai Muchuan’s house?
Several thoughts flashed past her mind, and she suddenly had a conclusion that made her felt flustered and ill at ease.
She directly called Fang Yuanyuan before telling Bai Muchuan what she had thought.
Dduu, dduu——Dduu, dduu——
The cold mechanical sound of the phone rang for a long time.
She waited patiently.
However, nobody picked up the phone.
Xiang Wan felt a chill in her heart.
“Why didn’t Yuanyuan pick up the phone?”
Quick, answer the phone!
She was praying inside her heart. She was on tenterhooks, but nobody picked up the call, although she had dialed twice continuously.
Xiang Wan couldn’t sit still. “Bai Muchuan, I’m worried that we might not return in time…”
“Calm down!” Bai Muchuan dialed Tang Yuanchu’s number while driving. “Let me ask Tang Yuanchu where they are now. If they are still far away, then I’ll get the nearest police post to send men over…”
“Alright! Please be quick.”
Xiang Wan couldn’t care much already.
She clasped her hands nervously as she looked at the streets and the view outside. She hoped that they could be faster.
However, it seemed true that most of the time, the more anxious a person was, the more a person would realize that things would often not go the way they wanted…
It seemed that the road ahead was congested.
Their car was stuck in the long flow of traffic, and they couldn’t continue nor get out of it. Xiang Wan stared at the long line of cars and felt somewhat breathless.
Usually, when they encountered traffic jams, she would accept the situation calmly…
That day, she wished that she could grow a pair of wings and fly back home!
She was the one who instructed Fang Yuanyuan not to leave home.
If anything happened to the latter, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself…
Just a moment ago, she suddenly thought of the possibility that since Heaven’s Wrath brought the newly developed and tested biochemical weapons to the country, and that person happened to be Ye Lun—a flamboyant and haughty person—would he be so bold enough to provoke Bai Muchuan by showing him what he could do?
Xiang Wan did not dare to think deeper.
Her pulse was drumming so loudly in her ears.
She covered her face. She did not look at Bai Muchuan, but she listened to what he said over the phone.
In no time, he ended the call. “Xiang Wan.”
Xiang Wan suddenly looked up. “Mm?”
Bai Muchuan glanced at her. “Tang Yuanchu has arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood. They are faster than us. Don’t worry!”
“Okay…”
Xiang Wan replied weakly.
How would she put her mind at ease?
She couldn’t do that at all.
This was because that person was Fang Yuanyuan!
She was here because she was worried about Xiang Wan, and she jokingly told the team that she was here to catch demons… What if a group of people who were no different from demons took her away…
No, no, no! Xiang Wan did not allow herself to have such thoughts. She slapped her mouth and noticed that her current behavior might seem too abnormal… She heaved a puff of breath, ran her fingers through her hair, and peered at Bai Muchuan while trying her best to calm down. “I’m sorry for earlier… I was too agitated.”
Bai Muchuan patted her hand with his.
“You know that I don’t mind that.”
The journey home had never felt so time-consuming.
One red light after another, as if there was no end to it…
It felt like a century had passed when their car arrived near the neighborhood. From a distance, they could make out the sounds of an ambulance’s sirens.
…
Oh no!
Oh no!
