Chapter 280 Hoping the rescue can be expedited



280

As dawn broke, the helicopter rescue team arrived.

When the wrecked luxury car was pulled from the water, everyone was in a bad mood.

The front and body of the vehicle were severely deformed.

The airbag was likely punctured by a tree branch.

I wonder if Jian Yu was injured given how severely the body was deformed, and how he managed to crawl out of there?

Uncle Li comforted him, "Young Master, Jian Yu hasn't been found yet, so there might still be a chance he's alive."

The rescue team had already searched downstream along the current, but they hadn't found anything yet. Huo Qizhen desperately hoped that Jian Yu was alright.

But reason told him that unless someone helped him, Jian Yu could not possibly escape in such a harsh environment by himself.

Even on a fine day, few ships pass by; in weather like this, it's even less likely anyone will come.

"Jian Yu doesn't seem to be very good at swimming."

Huo Qizhen thought that Jian Yu didn't like water and rarely went into the water.

"Actually, it's not that bad. If the weather were warmer, even if you fell in, you could swim back up," Uncle Li said.

The problem is that it's the dead of winter, with heavy snow falling and the abyss frozen over.

Fortunately, if this abyss were not connected to the outside river, but were a flowing stream, the surface of the water in the middle would be covered with a thick layer of ice.

Even if it hadn't been frozen in the middle, if it suddenly fell, in sub-zero temperatures, Jian Yu's body, which had only recently recovered from an illness, wouldn't have been able to withstand it for long.

Huo Qizhen, holding a walkie-talkie, asked, "Have you found any new footprints on the shore?"

The rescue team leader said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, not yet."

How far have you gone?

"It's been more than twenty li."

Huo Qizhen frowned. "Too slow."

The road conditions are terrible.

One of the rescue team members muttered something under his breath.

The captain immediately glared at him.

Someone nearby was also pulling him away.

Realizing something was wrong, he lowered his head and continued walking forward.

Huo Qizhen, "You're not satisfied?"

Captain: "No, no."

Huo Qizhen said, "You need to think this through. Why would I be willing to pay fifty times more to hire you?"

It's precisely because of the harsh environment that they don't want to delay the rescue efforts, and even hope to speed things up.

The captain certainly knew.

Huo Qizhen said coldly, "Speed ​​up."

The captain instinctively stood at attention. "Yes, sir."

The team leader turned off the walkie-talkie and urged loudly, "Hurry up, everyone!"

Shen Qianyuan had just finished breakfast and was about to show his face to Yu Yao when he heard the butler come over to report.

"Sir, something has happened to Jian Yu."

Shen Qianyuan was about to get up, but upon hearing this, he sat down again. "What's going on?"

The housekeeper showed Li Yang the video of the car accident from his dashcam.

"This is the video we just received."

"Hiss---"

Noisy sounds.

Shen Qianyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Was it an accident?"

The butler shook his head. "It shouldn't be. I heard it was intentional."

"Is he still alive?"

"The driver has been confirmed dead, but Jian Yu is unaware of it yet."

Shen Qianyuan glanced sideways. How could someone be unharmed after being hit like that?

The housekeeper said, "It is said that Jian Yu has gone missing and has not been found yet. I wonder if he was swept downstream by the current? That is a deep abyss with flowing water that is active all year round."

Shen Qianyuan said, "After being hit by a large truck, the steep slope, the deep abyss, and the heavy snow made it extremely difficult for him to survive if he couldn't be rescued immediately."

The butler nodded.

Shen Qianyuan asked, "Do boats usually pass through there?"

The butler shook his head. "No."

It seems highly likely that it was washed downstream.

"Does Yu Yao know?"

"The Yu family doesn't know the news yet."

"Tsk... Then let someone leak it to them. The enemy is gone, we should be happy."

The housekeeper asked, "Are they really enemies? How could a girl have such a deep grudge against her family?"

Shen Qianyuan said, "I originally planned to show my face today, but it seems I should postpone it to another day!"

Butler: "Why do we have to postpone it?"

Shen Qianyuan said, "You don't understand! What if they want to celebrate? How can they celebrate if I'm there?"

If a family member has an accident, you have to pretend to be sad in front of outsiders, even if you have to.

Shen Qianyuan considered himself quite considerate, "I noticed she hasn't had anything happy happen to her in a long time, so it's really inconvenient to disturb her enjoyment."

Outside the surveillance camera, George suppressed his anger and played the recording for Fok Kai-chun.

Upon hearing this, Huo Qizhen's forehead veins throbbed, and before he knew it, a crack appeared on the tablet screen.

Startled, Huo Qizhen quickly let go of his hand.

This is a simple tablet.

Shen Qianyuan?

"Have someone investigate Mrs. Shen and Shen Ding's mistress to find out who was responsible for the deaths of those two children."

The reply on the other end of the phone was in English: "OK".

A maid came to bring Huo Qizhen his meal.

Huo Qizhen had no appetite, so he told Uncle Li and the others to eat in another car.

Uncle Li wanted to say no, but his stomach was protesting, so he had to comply.

The traffic police officer approached and said, "Mr. Huo, the driver's family member was in a car accident on their way to the police station early this morning. They are still unconscious in the hospital. The other three people said they did not know anything unusual about the driver, so we need to wait for the unconscious family member to wake up before we can continue questioning them."

nod.

"We will expedite the search and rescue efforts."

"good."

Yu Yao and Qi Yuexi stayed with Yu Ze at the hospital.

Yu Yao suddenly received a call from Yu Ting. Yu Yao still held a grudge against Yu Ting for forcing her to kneel. She glanced at the screen and hung up the phone.

Qi Yuexi: "Why did she hang up? She wouldn't contact you unless there was something wrong."

Yu Yao: "I have nothing to say to her."

Qi Yuexi remained silent.

The next second, her phone rang.

It was Yu Ting again.

Qi Yuexi accepted the call.

Yu Ting immediately asked, "Does Jian Yu's accident have anything to do with you?"

Qi Yuexi paused for a moment, "What happened to Jian Yu?"

Yu Ting, "Don't you know?"

Qi Yuexi said, "What can we know now? Apart from the hospital, we are not allowed to ask about anything else; if we ask, they just tell us to mind our own business."

This statement clearly indicates dissatisfaction.

Yu Ting said, "Our Yu family has fallen on hard times. If we rely solely on my company and Yu Cheng's company, without a powerful backer to help us, we will never be able to return to our former glory."

Qi Yuexi said, "Our Qi family has helped us a lot."

Yu Ting almost said that they were no longer in charge.

Remembering Yu Cheng's repeated instructions, she held back.

"The Huo family conglomerate is even more powerful than Qisheng Culture Media and Yu's Enterprise. The Huo family heir has personally admitted to having dealings with Jian Yu. This relationship is more beneficial to the development of Yucheng."

Qi Yuexi didn't take it to heart.

"Even if it's true, Jian Yu won't help. She hates us."

Yu Zhentian had no patience to listen to their rambling. "Is it really true that Jian Yu's accident last night had nothing to do with you?"

Yu Yao leaned closer to Qi Yuexi's phone, "What happened to her?"

"He was hit by a large truck and fell into the abyss."

Yu Yao's lips unconsciously began to curl upwards, and when she realized it, she immediately covered her mouth.

Looking up, she saw that Qi Yuexi was also hiding her emotions, just like her.
