204 True and False Daughter
◎She opened her mouth wide, but no sound came out of her throat.◎
Ye Zhizhi was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She pulled Yu Jingyao's hand and walked towards the door, "Find my brother, contact him!"
Yu Jingyao followed her out and sensed her anxiety, her expression also became serious, "What's wrong?" She felt that Ye Zhizhi's anger was not simply because Ye Zhiyan didn't take her out with him. She didn't know why, but she felt a little panicked.
The Ye family has always kept a low profile, and their children are always protected until they reach adulthood. Ye Zhizhi's abduction was due in part to a coordinated effort from both inside and outside the family, allowing them to escape detection. Another reason was that they weren't in the Ye family's most heavily guarded residence at the time, but rather in another apartment.
After this incident, the Ye family's security was completely overhauled, but the pearl was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, it eventually returned to them.
After the Ye family became adults, they rarely brought bodyguards with them except when they were on business trips or in public places such as business events. For example, when they were going to and from get off work, or at some private events, the driver who usually followed them to and from get off work was a bodyguard himself and worked part-time as a driver.
But the driver was on holiday today, which meant that Ye Zhiyan had no one around him.
Yu Jingyao saw him go out and asked a few questions. Ye Zhiyan felt that there was no need to bring bodyguards, and said that he would drive out by himself and come back after lunch.
Ye Zhiyan is an adult and still has the ability to protect himself. Yu Jingyao respects his privacy and doesn't ask any more questions.
Ye Zhizhi didn't care how to explain what he knew at this moment, "Danger, save my brother!" His brother had been out for a while, so the only one who could find his brother as soon as possible was Mother Yu.
Yu Jingyao believed Ye Zhizhi's words without hesitation. Her face changed drastically, but after all, she had experienced many storms and was able to remain calm. She comforted him, "It's okay. I'll go find my brother right away."
Yu Jingyao immediately gave a few instructions to the housekeeper, and soon a bodyguard car was ready. Ye Zhizhi and Yu Jingyao got in the car, and the car drove out quickly.
Yu Jingyao calmly took the phone and made a call immediately.
It rained all night in Kyoto and it was still cloudy and rainy during the day. Pedestrians on the streets were holding umbrellas of various colors and walking leisurely.
The black umbrella blended into the mix, the slanting wind and drizzle hit the umbrella and slid down along the edge. Occasionally, the sound of passing cars and horns could be heard in the distance.
Under the umbrella, slender fingers held the phone, pressed it to the ear, and a voice full of apology came out -
"I'm so sorry..."
"It's okay, we'll contact each other next time we have the chance."
Ye Zhiyan held an umbrella and walked slowly across a small puddle. His expression was gentle, and he did not seem angry even though he was stood up.
The person who contacted him at this time was an alumnus he met when he was studying abroad. They had a very good relationship. She was a very thoughtful and executive person. Ye Zhiyan admired her abilities and had always wanted to recruit her to Ye's company, but she had other plans for her career at that time and rejected his invitation. After that, he returned to China to focus on his career and gradually lost contact.
More than a year later, I unexpectedly received a call this morning. This friend had returned to China some time ago and wanted to meet.
Ye Zhiyan came to keep the appointment.
He had gone out early on purpose, but he didn't expect to receive a call from the other party just when he was near his destination. Ye Zhiyan parked the car on the side of the road where temporary parking was allowed, got out, walked to the fork in the road ahead, waited for less than a minute, greeted each other inside and outside the car, exchanged gifts, said a few words in a hurry, and left.
One of her friends accidentally fell and fell quite hard, and contacted her, so she had to hurry back to help.
This was an emergency, Ye Zhiyan understood and was not angry.
But the other party seemed to feel very sorry and called to apologize continuously right after he left.
Before he could hang up, a phone call came in. Ye Zhiyan saw that it was his mother's call, so he said, "I have something to do here. That's it for now. Be careful on the road."
Ye Zhiyan hung up the phone and answered the call from his mother. Just as he called out "Mom", an anxious voice came over.
"Zhiyan, where are you?"
"I am here……"
Ye Zhiyan had just replied when he suddenly felt a strong impact from behind him. His elbow was numbed by the impact and he lost his grip on the phone. With a loud thud, it fell directly into the sewer at his feet.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to."
The young man who accidentally bumped into someone turned pale with fright when he saw his phone being knocked over and rushed into the sewer.
Ye Zhiyan looked down. It had rained heavily all night and there was still a lot of water on the road. Water was flowing down continuously through the gaps in the sewer manhole cover. He frowned subconsciously.
But looking at this young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he was getting wet in the rain. It might be because he didn't bring an umbrella and was running around in the rain that he accidentally bumped into him.
Ye Zhiyan noticed his frayed clothes and paused, "It's okay."
"I, I will help you get it back!" The young man was almost crying. No matter how much the phone was worth, he couldn't easily compensate for it.
"good."
Opening the manhole cover is not an easy task. There are no tools nearby, so the two of them just work together to open it.
The young man immediately leaned over and reached in to fish something out, almost burying himself in it. After a while, with a look of joy on his face, he fished out something from the sewage. It was the cell phone that Ye Zhiyan had just dropped in.
It just so happened that the sewer was not deep, so the phone was not washed into the secret entrance.
Ye Zhiyan looked at the wet and dripping phone. The screen was black. Thinking that it was fished out of the sewer, he didn't want to touch it.
However, seeing the young man's excited and expectant expression, he still took it.
"Is it still usable?" The young man struggled to move the manhole cover back. He looked at Ye Zhiyan nervously, afraid that he would ask for compensation.
Ye Zhiyan took the phone in front of him and looked at the screen. "It's still usable. You don't have to pay for it."
He was obviously relieved. He stood up and kept bowing and apologizing, "I'm so sorry."
Ye Zhiyan stood up and said, "Be more careful next time and don't run too fast."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Ye Zhiyan turned around and continued walking forward. Seeing that the handsome guy really didn't care, the young man bowed again to thank him and hurried away.
Ye Zhiyan stopped in front of a car on the side of the road, opened the door, folded his umbrella and sat in the passenger seat. His cell phone was also placed on the center console with a tissue, and his body was also wet with rain.
Ye Zhiyan wiped his hands, looked at the phone that was no longer usable, and couldn't help but sigh. It was not a good day for him to go out. He was either stood up or his phone was lost.
Although his phone is waterproof, it has been soaked in water for so long that water has seeped in and it is unusable; he can't even turn it on.
This time I decided to go out on a whim and didn’t think of bringing a spare phone.
He hadn't finished what he wanted to say yet, and his mother seemed to have something to say too. But it must be because his sister woke up and found that he was no longer in a bad mood, so his mother called to ask, right?
Ye Zhiyan couldn't help but smile. His sister was just too clingy. It was such a sweet trouble.
He started the car and merged into the traffic.
I have to go back quickly to comfort my sister.
In the car on the other side, Ye Zhizhi was listening attentively to the noise, but just after hearing two words, there was a dull voice, followed by a vague rustling sound.
Ye Zhizhi immediately became anxious. "It's gone?" Could something have happened? Her eyes were red with anxiety.
"It's okay, it's okay. We can find out where my brother is." Yu Jingyao's voice was a little shaky, but her face was calm. She said to the driver, "Follow the signal."
Ye Zhiyan has a tracker on him, so no matter where he is, his signal can be tracked quickly.
"Yes, Mr. Yu."
The bodyguard in the passenger seat was looking at a tablet with a flashing green dot on it.
"Mr. Yu, Mr. Ye is on the move. He's approaching us. We'll meet in about ten minutes."
Yu Jingyao's pounding heart finally calmed down a bit. She said to Ye Zhizhi, "Look, he's on his way home. He's fine."
Ye Zhizhi was not comforted at all, and the sense of urgency in her heart remained undiminished. In the original book, her brother died in a car accident, and now he was driving on the road, she was even more worried!
If they could get in touch, she would let her brother stay in a very safe place, in a safe house where no car could hit him, and wait for them to pick him up and take him home.
Ye Zhizhi didn't give up. She didn't take out her cell phone on the third floor, so she took Yu's mother's cell phone and called her several times, but no one answered.
She was restless and couldn't help wanting to drive faster.
But the bodyguard said this was the fastest speed within the safe range.
It is still raining and getting heavier. The road is slippery and it is easy to lose control if you speed too much.
Ye Zhizhi stared at the front with eager eyes. Two small green dots were flashing and getting closer and closer. He grabbed the seat under him with both hands, but did not pay attention to controlling the strength, leaving deep five finger marks.
Ten minutes was neither short nor long, but it felt very long to her, and every second seemed to slow down.
The bodyguard in front kept reporting the distance.
"Five minutes."
"Three minutes."
"One more minute."
The car began to slow down. It was difficult to turn the road at this location. There was a green belt between the two lanes. I could only drive forward a little further before I could change to the opposite lane.
"I saw Mr. Ye's car."
Perhaps because it was a rainy day, there were not many cars on the road. They only saw a black car coming towards them, and they recognized it was theirs.
Ye Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over the car window to look out. The fine rain was blowing in his face, cold and icy.
However, the next second, Ye Zhizhi suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Yu Jingyao also noticed something was wrong. She looked out the windshield with her eyes wide open, reflecting a demon that looked like it was seeking revenge. She opened her mouth but no sound came out of her throat.
Ye Zhizhi ignored the moving car, opened the door, jumped out and rushed over, almost becoming a shadow.
Behind the car, a large truck was speeding. It seemed to be out of control and was rushing towards the small car in front at an extraordinary speed.
A sharp and loud horn suddenly sounded.
While driving, Ye Zhiyan realized something was wrong, so he quickly accelerated and turned the steering wheel to turn into another lane. However, the car behind him seemed to want to change lanes as well, and also turned the steering wheel when Ye Zhiyan just changed lanes.
Bang——
The huge truck stuck close to the small car in front, drove forward with its head and tail close together for a moment, and then rushed straight down the lane.
Bang--
The car was hit into the green wall beside the road, and then the truck hit it heavily. The car sandwiched in the middle was directly deformed, and the truck's huge wheels stopped after a while.
A huge heavy truck was lying across the road, with smoke coming out of the front.
The cars on both sides of the road came to a sudden stop with a few brakes.
