Chapter 30 I warned you not to make any jokes about her
【Now we are going to insert an urgent news. According to the latest news from our station, international flight MH790 from our city to Paris, France, lost contact with the ground three hours after takeoff.
The flight was carrying 283 passengers and crew members. The plane lost contact over the deep sea of the South Indian Ocean. Preliminary information showed that the plane may have suffered a sudden structural disintegration and fell into the deep sea.
At present, the search and rescue operations of relevant countries have been launched, but due to the complex sea environment and severe weather conditions at the location where contact was lost, the search and rescue is extremely difficult...】
Li Xu's fingers were suspended on the screen of the mobile phone, as if frozen, motionless.
That glaring red headline: Flight MH790 lost contact.
The flight Miss Gu was on was MH790, which was bound for Paris.
A chill swept through his body from bottom to top.
The banquet hall was still filled with clinking glasses and laughter.
The crystal chandeliers cast down brilliant light, illuminating the guests' exquisite makeup and luxurious dresses.
The air is filled with the aroma of champagne and the tempting scent of desserts.
The melodious music echoes in my ears, luxurious and beautiful.
Mr. Feng and Miss Lin were standing in front of the champagne tower, accepting everyone's blessings.
President Feng had a decent smile on his face, and his every move still exuded a powerful aura that showed he was in control of everything.
Li Xu stared at Feng Mingzhou's figure.
President Feng has instructed that any news about Miss Gu must be reported immediately.
But now, it’s Mr. Feng’s wedding dinner.
It is the most important and glorious moment in Mr. Feng’s life.
Can he rush to President Feng with such bad news?
Li Xu's mind was in chaos.
He knew that the most important thing now was to confirm the authenticity of the news and wait for further official notification.
Maybe, this was just a false alarm.
Perhaps the plane just lost contact temporarily and will soon regain contact.
He didn't want to believe it, didn't want to believe that Miss Gu would encounter such misfortune.
If, if Miss Gu really...
Li Xu didn't dare to think about it anymore...
He looked at Feng Mingzhou again.
Li Xu hesitated.
In the end, he did not go forward to report immediately.
He chose to wait.
He thought that perhaps he should wait until the dinner was over and the guests left, and then find a suitable time to tell President Feng the news.
He hoped, he prayed, that this was just a misunderstanding.
He hoped that when he told President Feng the news, it would bring some turnaround, some good news.
Rather, it is complete despair.
The music in the banquet hall continued, and the sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, and blessings intertwined into a lively scene.
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely, and every second was a grind. He refreshed the news page over and over again, his finger almost poking through the screen. Push notifications popped up one after another, each with a more horrifying title than the last.
[Suspected aircraft wreckage found in the sea area where MH790 lost contact]
[Expert analysis: MH790 is very likely to disintegrate at high altitude]
[MH790 passengers’ families collapsed, the airport fell into chaos]
No good news, not a single one.
Li Xu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He looked up and saw President Feng holding a wine glass, with a perfect arc on his lips, talking to an important guest. His calm demeanor was no different from usual.
But Li Xu knew that with just one sentence, this seemingly indestructible man's world could collapse in an instant. Cold sweat slid down his temples and soaked the collar of his shirt. He felt like he was about to fall.
He knew that he had to tell President Feng the news.
Whatever the outcome, he has to face it.
He took a deep breath, pushed through the crowd, and walked towards Feng Mingzhou.
Li Xu walked behind Feng Mingzhou and called softly, "Boss Feng."
Feng Mingzhou turned around: "What's the matter?"
Li Xu opened his mouth, but felt that he still couldn't speak.
He could only raise the phone in his hand and turn the screen to face Feng Mingzhou.
Feng Mingzhou's gaze fell on the mobile phone screen. His originally gentle eyes gradually became cold, stiff, and empty.
The banquet hall was still brightly lit and filled with melodious music.
However, in Feng Mingzhou's world, all the light and all the sounds disappeared completely at this moment.
All that was left was a dead silence and darkness.
And that glaring red title kept flashing before his eyes like a curse.
He didn't speak immediately, just stared at the words.
MH790.
Fly to Paris.
Endless.
Li Xu could feel the chill emanating from his boss.
Feng Mingzhou slowly raised his eyes and looked at Li Xu.
There was no shock or sadness in those eyes, only a dead, chilling emptiness.
Then, a dim flame ignited in the hole and quickly spread across the prairie into a raging fire.
"Who gave you the courage?"
Feng Mingzhou suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Xu's cell phone.
"Is this the kind of joke you should make?"
"Who told you to test me with this kind of thing?"
"explain!"
The guests around were attracted by the commotion here and looked sideways, but no one dared to approach.
"Mr. Feng... this is not a joke... this is real news..." Li Xu's voice was tearful and full of fear.
The madness in Feng Mingzhou's eyes became even more intense. He pushed Li Xu away with such force that Li Xu staggered and hit the dining table next to him, making a dull sound.
"I warned you not to make any jokes about her!"
"Get lost!"
He didn't even look at Li Xu, turned around and rushed out of the banquet hall.
He was going to find her, he was going to confirm.
This must be fake.
It was a rumor deliberately spread by someone, the work of those who couldn't bear to see him do well.
Yes, that must be it.
"Ming Zhou!" Lin Jinyun, holding up the hem of her wedding dress, hurriedly chased after him and stood in front of him.
"Where are you going? The wedding isn't over yet! The guests are still..."
Feng Mingzhou stopped, turned around and looked at her.
The moment Lin Jinyun met his eyes, her heart trembled. What kind of eyes were those?
The bottomless ink color surges with madness and violence that is ready to destroy everything.
There wasn't a trace of human warmth inside, only a cold, inhuman...almost eerie light.
It was like a gaze from the depths of hell.
Lin Jinyun took a step back in fright.
This was not the Feng Mingzhou she knew at all.
He didn't even answer her, but just glanced at her with that terrifying look, walked quickly past her, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Airport.
News about the loss of contact with MH790 was scrolling on the huge electronic screen.
Heart-wrenching cries were heard from the family waiting area.
The air was filled with despair and panic.
Feng Mingzhou pushed through the crowd and rushed to the airline's temporary counter.
"MH790! Tell me! Where is the plane now!" He grabbed a staff member by the collar, his eyes red.
"Sir, please calm down... We are..."
"Gu Manman! Passenger list! Is Gu Manman on it?" he roared.
The staff was frightened by him and quickly checked on the computer.
Time seemed to stand still.
Every second felt like torture.
"...Gu...Gu Manman...is...confirmed to be on the passenger list of this flight..."
confirm……
exist……
On the list...
The world began to spin before his eyes and only a buzzing sound was left in his ears.
"puff--"
A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of Feng Mingzhou's mouth and splashed onto the ground.
His body swayed, his knees weakened, and he knelt down heavily.
The screams and cries around became distant and blurred.
He knelt there, his tall body hunched over, darkness before his eyes.
Before he completely lost consciousness, the last image that flashed through his mind was Gu Manman's bright, star-filled eyes as she looked at him.
Then, the world fell into complete silence.
