"Not only journalists from Country Z, but even entertainment reporters have visited the Pei family residence countless times. In the Imperial Residence and the Pei Family Villa, did you spot the former master of the Pei family, Pei Quyan, and the second young master of the Pei family, Pei Huaijin? Only the stewards of the two residences were arranging guards to prevent any chaos. Not a single member of the Pei family was to be seen."
"Why haven't I seen it?! Didn't the person in charge of the Pei family's Chenyuan give an interview to reporters?! Although it was short, just a few seconds, he kept saying that we should wait for the Pei family's official media to issue a statement, that other rumors can't be believed, and that the Pei family will hold those who spread rumors accountable according to Country Z law. But he was grinning so hard that his ears were about to burst."
"If something happens to the Pei family, Chenyuan will be able to consolidate its power. How can he not be grinning from ear to ear?!"
"What power are you holding back?! Even if something happens to Pei Yucheng, doesn't the Pei family already have an heir?!"
"He's just a kid, how can he defeat Chenyuan?!"
"From the tone of your voice, do you think Pei Quyan is a vegetarian?!"
"He's not a pushover. When he was in power, the Pei family was plunged into civil strife! If Pei Yucheng hadn't come to power, the internal strife within the Pei family would have been so devastating that no one knew what would happen. How could they have achieved their current glory?! However, no matter how glorious it was, I'm afraid it will fall from grace this time."
"What do you mean by Country A suddenly blocking the news?!"
"When something happens to the highest authority in the Pei family, it's no small matter. After all, the Pei Group has a very wide influence in the entire international alliance of chaebols."
"I heard that not only is the capital of Country A under lockdown, but even the neighboring cities are also under lockdown. What do you think the Great Leader of Country A is trying to do?!"
"There are two reasons. First, they're afraid terrorist organizations will launch another attack, which would affect rescue efforts. The city is sealed off to maintain public order. Second, of course, it's to hinder access. After all, with the blockade, entering the city is complicated and cumbersome."
"Maybe I'm just too dark inside. I'm on the conspiracy theory side this time. Country A is currently caught in an energy crisis, and the situation is extremely complicated. The Pei family has absolute say and decision-making power in Country A's energy sector. Is Country A's leader trying to take advantage of the chaos and undermine the Pei family's influence?"
The people around were not only talking about it.
In fact, the more he talked, the more excited he became.
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Ji Yuqi listened silently from beginning to end.
It seemed like he heard everything.
It seems like he can't hear anything.
Consciousness is very messy and scattered.
The announcement announced that boarding would begin in forty minutes. As she was getting ready to check her ticket at the boarding gate, her thoughts gradually returned to her.
As her vision gradually came into focus, she realized that she had opened Pei Yucheng's WeChat message without knowing when.
In the message input box, there is a long row of messages that have been edited but not sent out in time.
[Pei Yucheng, I've called you multiple times, but there's been no response. Could you please send me a reply? Even a single punctuation mark would be fine.]
Ji Yuqi stared at the words quietly.
Tears suddenly rolled down the phone screen.
One by one.
Every word is blurred.
I don’t know why.
Ji Yuqi's attention suddenly focused on the time of the last WeChat message he sent her.
He said: The formalities are secondary, the key point is...
The time when this message was sent was exactly the moment when the "723 Incident" broke out.
The second official news released by Country A on the "723 Incident" pointed out that the three planes in the terrorist attack directly crashed into the top floor of the Pei Building. Although it was unknown why their positions deviated, one of the planes crashed not far from the top floor.
Ji Yuqi remembers.
After he sent that message, the "typing" time continued intermittently for a long time.
The horrific incident had already happened, but he was still trying to send her messages.
Was he trying to explain the "main point"?! Or... did he have something else to say to her?!
Ji Yuqi couldn't bear it any longer and raised his hands to cover his eyes.
She couldn't imagine the scene at all.
A rapidly burning fire.
A rapidly falling building.
His life or death is unknown and unpredictable.
However, she was complaining that he didn't bring her milk...
