Chapter 267 We Have No Chance

His temples throbbed, and familiar yet chaotic memories surged towards him like a raging tide.

His head was throbbing in waves, and it took him a while to sit up and feel a little better.

"It's over..."

He frowned as he uttered those two words, then threw back the covers, got out of bed, took his phone, walked to the window, and called Shi Jing.

"Buzzing—"

"Buzzing—"

Shi Jing had just stepped out of the bathroom when he suddenly received a call from Li Weiwan.

"...Li Weiwan?" His eyes widened slightly, his expression revealing surprise. "Li Weiwan actually called me?"

He was both surprised and bewildered. He threw the dirty clothes in his hand into the laundry basket and immediately answered the phone.

"Hello? Brother Li."

Li Weiwan: "An unexpected incident still occurred."

"...Huh?" Shi Jing didn't understand what he meant. "What, something went wrong?"

Li Weiwan didn't explain, only saying, "Something unexpected happened with that matter."

"...What went wrong?" Shi Jing was genuinely puzzled. "Brother Li, are you awake? Don't be sleepwalking from a deep sleep."

"I wasn't sleepwalking." Li Weiwan's voice sounded very serious, so serious that Shi Jing felt a little uneasy.

"Shi Jing, something unexpected happened again. We have no chance."

"...No, what are you talking about?" Shi Jing was completely confused by Li Weiwan's words. "What accident? What no chance? Can you explain yourself clearly?"

Li Weiwan: "...I can't explain it to you right now, because your memories haven't returned yet, and you wouldn't understand even if I explained!"

Shi Jing: "Huh?"

Li Weiwan's words were so inexplicable that I couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his brain.

"Hey, Mr. Li, are you really alright? Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?"

"What accidents, what opportunities, what memory recovery? You've become obsessed with filming, haven't you?"

"..."

“Sigh…” Li Weiwan suddenly sighed heavily, as if she had reluctantly compromised on something.

"Forget it, I can't reason with someone like you who hasn't recovered her memory. Try contacting Zhu Jinzhao first and see if she's still safe."

"Hmm?" Shi Jing sensed something was off about his words, and her tone immediately became suspicious. "How do you know I can't contact Zhu Jinzhao right now?"

"Can't get in touch with her?" Li Weiwan's voice suddenly turned somewhat frightened. "When did you lose contact with her?"

Shi Jing truthfully said, "About two hours ago, I came out of the meeting and kept sending her WeChat messages, but she didn't reply to any of them. Her best friend Jiang Jingwen told me that she seemed to have fallen asleep, and I was just about to call her to wake her up."

"Then call now!" Li Weiwan said anxiously. "Call now, don't delay!"

“…Hit, hit, hit.” Although he couldn’t understand what Li Weiwan was going on about, Shi Jing still cooperated and said, “I’ll hit you now, you can hang up now.”

"Okay." Li Weiwan didn't dawdle at all and hung up the phone immediately.

"baffling……"

Shi Jing muttered a complaint under her breath, then immediately called Zhu Jinzhao.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

After three rings, a cold, mechanical female voice suddenly came from the phone's receiver.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

"It's turned off?" Shi Jing's heart skipped a beat.

"No, why would the phone be off? Didn't Jiang Jingwen say you were asleep?"

His heart, which had finally settled down, jumped again, and he quickly typed it a second time.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

Shi Jing kept calling Zhu Jinzhao, but no matter how many times she called, his phone was always switched off.

"Chao Chao, answer the phone..." He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. When he couldn't get through, he turned to call Zhu Mingyue.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

Zhu Mingyue's phone was also switched off.

"What the heck? What's going on?" Shi Jing panicked completely.

Zhu Jinzhao's phone is off, and Zhu Mingyue's phone is also off. What a coincidence! Besides, they're both at home. If their phones were dead or broken, they should have found a solution immediately. How come neither of them can be reached? This is just too strange.

Shi Jing became increasingly frightened as she thought about it, so she quickly called Jiang Jingwen again.

"Hello?"

Jiang Jingwen's voice slurred with drunkenness: "Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Is something wrong?"

Shi Jing had no time for pleasantries and went straight to the point: "I can't get in touch with Chaochao."

"Huh?" Jiang Jingwen was stunned for a moment, then said, "Tsk, didn't I tell you that Chaochao is already asleep?"

Shi Jing: "But her phone was off! Didn't you say she was video chatting with you before she fell asleep? How come her phone was off immediately after she fell asleep?"

"And coincidentally, Zhu Mingyue's phone was also switched off, and I couldn't contact her either!"

"...What?" Jiang Jingwen finally realized something was wrong, and the slight intoxication instantly disappeared.

"Mingyue and Chaochao's phones were both switched off at the same time, and they can't be reached at the same time?"

"We can't get in touch with them!" Shi Jing was already at her wits' end. "At this hour, they should have finished all their chores and be in bed getting ready to rest. How could they all suddenly lose contact at the same time?"

"This...this is indeed a bit strange." Jiang Jingwen was getting anxious.

Shi Jing: "Besides, Chaochao is always very well-behaved. I told her to wait for me before the meeting. Even if she's sleepy or has something to do, she'll let me know what she's doing. She wouldn't just disappear without a word like this!"

"I...I know!" Jiang Jingwen sobered up completely. "Shi Jing, don't worry, Ning Shi and I will come to find you right now. We'll go straight to your house and check on things!"

"Okay." This is the best solution at the moment, and Shi Jing has no reason to refuse. "Come over here quickly, I'll change my clothes and come downstairs."

Jiang Jingwen: "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Shi Jing quickly changed into her outdoor clothes and ran downstairs while calling Li Weiwan.

"beep--"

The phone rang only once before Li Weiwan answered it immediately.

"How about it?"

"I can't get in touch with her!" Shi Jing's voice was both fierce and urgent. "Her phone is off, and Zhu Mingyue's phone is off too. I can't reach her at all!"

Li Weiwan: "Then you should go to the Zhu family now! Go to the Zhu family and see if she's there?"

Shi Jing: "I am on my way to the past!"

Li Weiwan: "Then you go first, I'll buy the earliest flight and come over right now!"

"Okay." Shi Jing was too anxious to notice the strangeness in Li Weiwan's words.
