Chapter 88: The Second Secret Revealed
Upon hearing the news, Xu Bai, Cheng Sangsang, and Wen Yu from Xianhe Village rushed over.
"What's wrong? What happened to Nan Ke?"
Tu Chaoxi was still making phone calls, but after dozens of calls, no one answered.
"No, I have to go and take a look!"
Tu Yao quickly followed, "I'm going too!"
In just a few minutes, the progress bar dropped from 70 to 20. She absolutely had to go!
Under these circumstances, Tu Chaoxi could not possibly leave Tu Yao here alone to wait for news.
He tried to keep his voice steady: "I'll go ask the director to borrow a car."
"Go pack your things quickly, and tell Aunt Luo that you might be staying in Yanjing for a few days."
He added, "Don't panic, I'm here."
Tu Yao nodded vigorously: "I'm not panicking!"
After watching Tu Yao run away, Tu Chaoxi immediately went to find the director, but was told that none of the cars were there.
“Our production team has a lot of people. Now that the show is over, I had the driver take everyone out in batches. What bad timing! You wait here, I'll call them back right now!”
The director quickly took out his phone, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't get through.
His face was grim: "The road conditions here are bad. We've come back and forth several times this month without daring to be distracted. I doubt anyone would dare to answer the phone."
Tu Chaoxi frowned deeply.
Just then, Cheng Sangsang suddenly remembered something and stomped her foot: "It doesn't matter if we don't have a car! We have a helicopter!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Yes, there was one when Xu Bai came, and another when Cheng Sangsang came!
Helicopters are much faster than cars!
Xu Bai immediately rushed out: "Let my older sister ride in mine! My helicopter is faster than Little Curly's!"
Cheng Sangsang: ?
She quickly chased after him, saying, "No! Take my helicopter! It's safer!"
The two ran and cursed at each other.
Xu Bai: "That's my eldest sister!"
Cheng Sangsang: "That's my sister, she still has her household registration..."
Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered.
Xu Bai glanced behind him, trembling with fear: "Sister, you're my sister, okay? What nonsense are you spouting!"
I've been keeping all this from my older sister! You're just spouting nonsense without any restraint.
Cheng Sangsang realized what was happening and awkwardly fell silent.
Looking down, I saw that her hand was still firmly pressed against her mouth. My body stiffened instantly, and I subconsciously looked up.
Xu Bai was taken aback, then quickly let go of her hand and turned away apologetically, saying, "Um... I'm sorry."
Two helicopters, one white and one green, stood side by side on the open ground at the entrance of the village across the street.
Xu Bai quickly stepped forward and patted his white plane, followed closely by a group of people.
But as they were taking pictures...
"Wait!" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xu Bai's face.
Cheng Sangsang asked irritably, "What's wrong?"
"I...I can't fly a helicopter..."
Tu Chaoxi: ?
"So what if you can't drive?"
Xu Bai was even more embarrassed: "I was thinking about recording a program, so as soon as I arrived that day, I sent the pilots back first..."
Everyone: ? ? ?
Cheng Sangsang couldn't help but curse: "You damn Xu Bai, are you even reliable? You can't even do this..."
etc!
As she continued to curse, Cheng Sangsang's voice grew softer and softer.
Their expressions were both embarrassed.
The next second, she slowly turned to the side, avoiding everyone's gaze.
Um...her pilot doesn't seem to be here either...
Everyone: ...
The director rubbed his face helplessly. What a mess this is!
He quickly took out his phone and dialed the driver's number again, but still couldn't get through.
On the other side, Tu Yao simply grabbed a few pieces of clothing, thought for a moment, and then took the bag of money the director had given her yesterday.
Aside from the 20,000 yuan she insisted on giving to Luo Ma yesterday to build a mushroom house, she still has 80,000 yuan in her hands.
She picked up her small bag, pushed open the door, and was about to run when she bumped into Xu Chi.
Tu Yao looked visibly flustered, but she tried her best to remain calm. Even in her anxiety, she didn't forget to explain to the young man in front of her.
"Xiao Chi, I'm going to see my second brother. Wait for me at home, I'll come pick you up as soon as I'm done."
"Wait, I'll take you there."
Tu Yao was taken aback: "You're giving me a ride?"
She subconsciously looked up and realized that, unlike his usual monochrome outer robe, the young man was wearing a slightly brighter formal suit today, with a dark blue cufflink on his wrist.
When he looked at her, the corners of his lips still held the same gentle smile as usual, but...
Tu Yao instinctively opened her mouth: "Xiao Chi, you're acting strange..."
Xu Chi chuckled and walked over, patted the back of her head, and gently pulled her out the door.
"Walk."
In front of the helicopter, the director was still on the phone, and Tu Chaoxi was also contacting Nan Ke.
Jiang Ye heard this and Ma Zhiyuan stood by, staring blankly.
Xu Bai and Cheng Sangsang glanced at each other, their eyes filled with mockery.
Until Xu Chi, carrying Tu Yao's small bag, led her side by side.
He walked straight up to Xu Bai and stopped.
Xu Bai was taken aback. He tilted his head up slightly and met his uncle's cold gaze. He immediately shrank back.
Cheng Sangsang also instinctively took a step back.
After I left, I realized something was wrong. She's just a sickly person, what is she afraid of?
You kicked Xu Bai again, what are you afraid of now?
Xu Bai:......
Xu Chi glanced at him indifferently and said in a deep voice, "Have you applied for the flight route?"
Xu Bai was speechless for a moment, then said softly, "...Not yet."
The moment he said it, Xu Bai knew that his uncle's aversion to stupidity had flared up again, and he quickly took out his phone.
"I'm applying now!"
The next second, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xu Chi walked towards the white helicopter.
Xu Bai's body stiffened abruptly; he had almost forgotten that his uncle could drive...
Wait... Uncle can drive, but Xu Chi can't. Is Uncle not going to pretend anymore?
Xu Bai opened his mouth wide involuntarily. Why did he stop pretending?
Amidst the momentary shock in everyone's eyes, Xu Chi extended his slender fingers and pressed them against the hatch, then turned and beckoned to Tu Yao: "Come here."
Xu Bai shut his mouth.
Tu Yao walked forward in a daze, and before she could react, she was pulled onto the helicopter by his force.
Xu Chi turned to Tu Chaoxi and pointed behind him: "Teacher Tu."
Tu Chaoxi frowned, realizing something was wrong, but she couldn't worry about that now. She said "thank you" and followed closely behind.
Tu Yao's eyes were still fixed on him as he walked around to the driver's seat, leaned over to help her put on noise-canceling headphones, and buckled her seatbelt.
Then, with practiced ease, he released the brakes, activated the hybrid system, turned on the radio, gave a brief announcement in a deep voice, and started the helicopter.
Then a continuous roar erupted, kicking up clouds of dust, and as the rotors accelerated their rotation, the helicopter slowly rose...
...
It wasn't until two full minutes into the drive that the director was the first to react, staring at the sky in disbelief.
He stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly: "Xu Chi?"
"Xu Chi can fly a helicopter???"
Hearing this, she asked in confusion, "...Is he Xu Chi?"
Jiang Ye: Who else could it be but Xu Chi?
Cheng Sangsang paused, seemingly thinking of something, and then looked at Xu Bai with a chill down her spine!
Xu Bai shrank his neck.
...
After a brief period of discomfort during the two-hour flight, Tu Yao gradually adapted once the flight reached a stable altitude.
She gripped the seatbelt tightly, but her eyes unconsciously drifted to the young man beside her.
The noise-canceling headphones were removed by a familiar, warm hand as the helicopter landed on the top floor of a high-rise building.
She looked up and instinctively opened her mouth: "...Xiao Chi?"
Xu Chi patted her head: "Go ahead and get busy. Your second brother works at this hospital. I'll come find you when I'm done."
Upon hearing the mention of Nan Ke, Tu Yao instantly sobered up and nodded seriously, "Understood."
Then they jumped out of the helicopter and ran down with Tu Chaoxi!
