His voice, however, betrayed his weariness.
Su Ziqing's heart clenched with suppressed emotion, "Your father..."
Gong Chengjue's tone suddenly turned heavy, "I just arrived, and I don't have a way to enter the forest area yet."
Because it is an uninhabited area, deep in the mountains and forests, there are countless poisonous insects, snakes and ants, so helicopters cannot fly in for the time being, and walking is even more difficult.
Currently, professional search and rescue personnel are devising solutions, while the passengers' families can only wait for news in front of the television.
People like Gong Chengjue were able to arrive at the scene immediately because of the Gong family's influence.
"Don't overthink it, your father will be lucky." Su Ziqing also felt that this comforting sentence was too official, but at this moment she really felt that this was the only thing to say.
Because saying anything else is pointless.
"It's not optimistic." Gong Chengjue did not hide Su Ziqing's current situation.
"The plane crashed into a deep forest and caused a fire." Although the fire was extinguished, it was a secondary disaster for the people on board at the time.
To put it bluntly, those who survived the plane crash probably wouldn't have been able to escape the secondary fire...
It seems unlikely that a bad outcome is inevitable.
He had just had an argument with his father last night, and they parted on bad terms. He was used to this way of getting along between the father and son, but he never expected to hear such terrible news the next day.
Gong Chengjue flew over from the capital looking completely bewildered, and even forgot to turn his phone on.
Luo Jinhan went to handle matters and inquired about information from the rescue team.
There were also reporters present who saw him frantically patting Gong Chengjue, but Gong Chengjue, who was on the phone, did not notice. Luo Jinhan stepped forward to block him.
With the camera blocked, the reporter, undeterred, ran up to Gong Chengjue and asked, "Mr. Gong, are you here because any of your family members were involved in this accident?"
Gong Chengjue merely glanced coldly at the reporter, turned and walked away, with Luo Jinhan blocking his way.
"Mr. Gong, what are your thoughts on this accident?"
Su Ziqing could hear the reporter's words even through the phone, and asked, "A reporter went there?" As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her question was quite childish.
There are several accidents that are filmed in the news, which means that reporters must have gone there.
"Hmm." Gong Chengjue didn't want to talk, but he didn't want to hang up either; he wanted to hear her voice.
But he didn't speak, and Su Ziqing was afraid of disturbing him, so she said, "Then you should deal with your business first."
"Talk to me," Gong Chengjue said.
"good."
Gong Chengjue brought up his father and the deterioration of his relationship with him.
"He thought he could withstand the pressure from his family and resist it. He was so arrogant, yet he ran away like a deserter, pretending that everything that happened had never happened." Gong Chengjue's words were full of resentment.
His words were explicit, yet Su Ziqing understood them perfectly.
Gong Chengjue was talking about his relationship with his father and mother.
"Unable to let go, yet unable to let go," Gong Chengjue sneered. "Greedy and insatiable."
"Chengjue..."
"It puts my identity in an awkward position within the family," Gong Chengjue chuckled. "But he thinks he's done nothing wrong."
He hated his father; he truly hated him when he was a child.
As you grow up, you become too lazy to even hate; all that's left is contempt.
Every conversation between the father and son was like a battle, ending in discord. With a 'sensible' younger brother at home, he seemed even more 'useless' in comparison.
Su Ziqing almost cried from heartache upon hearing this.
Gong Chengjue never spoke about how he grew up in the Su family, but Su Ziqing guessed from her several encounters with members of the Gong family that it must have been difficult.
At this point, Gong Chengjue brought it up himself, saying that if it weren't for Gong Changzhou's accident...
"I thought I wouldn't care about him at all, but when I heard about his accident, Ziqing, I... was very sad."
He was upset because he had ended an unpleasant conversation with his father last night.
The awkward father-son relationship, lacking a mother figure to act as a lubricant, has only deepened the prejudice between them.
Not to mention there's a stepmother who takes every opportunity to flatter and undermine him.
Su Ziqing longed to be by his side right now, to hug him.
"I really hope for a miracle." She heard him gasp softly.
"Yes, there will be miracles," Su Ziqing encouraged him.
"If he can stand in front of me again, I won't upset him anymore..." Gong Chengjue gripped his phone tightly.
The reporter, who had been stopped by Luo Jinhan, seized the opportunity to run over, "Mr. Gong, please share your thoughts at this moment..."
Overwhelmed by low spirits, Gong Chengjue became gloomy after the reporter's interruption, and his eyes even looked somewhat frightening when he looked at the reporter.
The reporter noticed the sadness in Gong Chengjue's eyes, and even saw tears welling up. Shocked, the reporter didn't forget to take a picture. "Mr. Gong..."
"Can't you even stop a reporter?" Gong Chengjue vented his anger on Luo Jinhan.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gong." This time, Luo Jinhan really didn't give the reporter any face and completely blocked them.
Interrupted by the reporter, Gong Chengjue's earlier weakness vanished, and he ended the call with Su Ziqing.
After ending the call, Su Ziqing, who was far away in City A, was still in a daze.
When the call ended, he had returned to normal, whereas just moments before he had been as helpless as a child…
"Ms. Su." The secretary knocked and entered. "It's time to leave work. If there's nothing else, may I go home now?"
Su Ziqing snapped out of her daze and hummed in response.
"Miss Su, what's wrong?" Hearing that Su Ziqing's voice was a little hoarse, the secretary asked.
"It's nothing, you can go home now."
Su Ziqing glanced at her watch; half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye. She hadn't finished what she was doing, but she didn't do any more. She needed to deal with things here quickly and then return to the capital.
She wanted to spend time with Gong Chengjue.
………………
Su Tianhao was already waiting in the car, and Su Ziqing said she was getting off the elevator.
"It's a miscarriage of justice! The Su family has gone too far, treating human life like dirt!" A man, supporting an elderly woman, cried out loudly as they walked towards the building entrance.
It was rush hour, and the endless stream of people leaving work heard the cry of injustice.
Su Tianhao's face darkened, and he called his assistant, "How do you handle things? Come down and deal with this immediately!!"
The driver looked at the two people not far away, turned his head, and said, "Mr. Su, should we drive the car away from here first?"
"No need," Su Tianhao said with a stern face.
Su Ziqing didn't change her clothes and went straight down the elevator in her work clothes. However, before she even left the building, she heard someone shouting that they were being wronged, and the person was pointing the finger at the Su family...
"The Su family used money to coerce people and killed my daughter..." the old man cried out. "My daughter didn't commit suicide, how could she commit suicide?"
