Chapter 179 False Alarm (1/2)
When Fu Zhengzheng is talking happily with Fu Xing on the phone, suddenly he gives a cry and then there is no voice.
“Hello? Hello? Xingxing? Siqi?”
Fu Zhengzheng calls back instantly, but the line goes dead!
She hurries to call the landline phone in Siqi’s room, but it’s disconnected. Then she calls Xiao Ying, but it’s not answered. In a panic, she rushes out, forgetting to take her coat. At the same time, she calls Ji Muxian.
“I can’t get through to Siqi. I doubt something terrible happened to him and Xingxing. Please go to see you parents.”
Lin Yongcheng is talking with his buddies in the yard. Seeing Fu Zhengzheng rush out and vaguely hearing something is wrong, they all become nervous and stop her to ask.
Fu Zhengzheng’ voice changes with panic: “Something terrible happened to Siqi!”
“What? Where?”
“Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort.”
Lin Yongcheng’s face changes at once. He waves his hand, and a man behind him runs to drive the car. Then they get on it.
The car is speeding towards Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort. Lin Yongcheng asks Fu Zhengzheng: “Miss Fu, could you tell what happened?”
Fu Zhengzheng composes herself, tries to think about the expression and then describes it roughly.
Lin Yongcheng takes out his phone to call Han Siqi. Indeed, he can’t get through to Han Siqi. The sweat breaks out on his forehead, because generally Han Siqi’s phone is not power off all day long.
Fu Zhengzheng’s heart almost bounces out of her mouth. Staring at the trees flying backwards outside the window, interlocking her fingers and rubbing them ceaselessly, Fu Zhengzheng is eager to fly to Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort at once like a bird.
After the car has run for less than five minutes, Xiao Ying calls and Fu Zhengzheng answers it immediately.
“Xiao Ying, how are Siqi and Fu Xing?”
Xiao Yong is confused: “What’s wrong with Mr. Han and Xingxing? I was taking a shower, so I missed the call.”
“Go upstairs to see Siqi and Fu Xing! Perhaps something happened to them!”
“OK.” Xiao Ying hangs up quickly.
Didn’t Xiao Ying hear anything upstairs when she was taking a shower? Oh, my god. Is it possible that the backstage criminals killed them directly?
Fu Zhengzheng feels a fit of dizziness. She manages to sit straight, holds the back of the front seat tightly and almost damages it.
Lin Yongcheng can see that Fu Zhengzheng isn’t well, so he comforts her: “Miss Fu, don’t worry. We strengthened guard in Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort today. Mr. Han couldn’t have encountered something terrible so easily!”
Fu Zhengzheng says nothing and just stares outside.
The car swerves sharply because of overtaking from time to time, making the people inside it shake with it, but they all keep silent.
The phone rings loudly again, and everyone is startled. They all look at Fu Zhengzheng’s phone.
It’s from Ji Muxian.
Fu Zhengzheng’s lips become pale and her hands tremble.
Lin Yongcheng is more composed. He takes the phone, connects it and then puts it close to Fu Zhengzheng’s ear.
“Zhengzheng, we’re fine. My phone was knocked into water by Xingxing.” It’s Han Siqi’s voice.
“Siqi, is that you?” Fu Zhengzheng can’t believe it, and she asks in her tremulous voice.
“It’s me, Zhengzheng. I’m fine.” Han Siqi answers affirmatively.
Fu Zhengzheng checks again: “Are you really OK? Is Fu Xing OK too?”
“We are both OK. Xingxing, call mummy.”
Fu Xing’s happy voice reaches her ear instantly: “Mummy, I’m fine. Daddy’s phone dropped into water and doesn’t work.”
“All right. All right.” Fu Zhengzheng fails to restraint herself and bursts into tears.
Fortunately, it’s false alarm!
Others in the car sign with relief. Lin Yongcheng pats the driver’s shoulder, and the driver slows down and then pulls over.
Everyone thinks there is nothing wrong. Suddenly Fu Zhengzheng shouts to the phone: “Han Siqi! Why didn’t you call me with another phone after your phone dropped into water? I couldn’t get through to your landline phone in your room. Didn’t you know I would worry? You didn’t know how scared I was…”
She is too choked to finish her sentence.
Han Siqi explains to her patiently in the phone: “I was afraid that Xingxing would catch a cold, so I just wanted to wash his feet at first, without thinking about anything else. I didn’t know when the connector lug of the landline phone was pulled out by someone.”
“Don’t you know how critical it is now? Imagine that if you can’t contact me suddenly, won’t you feel nervous and scared?”
“OK. OK. It’s my fault. I’m sorry, Ok? Don’t cry. You are a policewoman. If Yang Tao sees you crying, how distressed he will be!”
Fu Zhengzheng snaps: “Han Siqi! You are still in the vein for joking!”
Han Siqi still says in a tender voice: “Don’t cry any longer, or your eyes will swell, and I will…not like them.”
In fact, he intended to say “I will be distressed” originally, but when he finds that Muxian and Tian Xin are staring at him, he changes it into “I will not like them” carelessly.
