I thought that Jiang Tianyi would become extremely angry after hearing what I said, and would curse at me, or even threaten to kill me.
The result was worse than I expected.
After I finished speaking, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of something being knocked over and a muffled thud.
Hearing this sound, I felt that Jiang Tianyi had probably fainted due to excessive emotional distress after learning about Jiang Man's situation. He shouted into the phone, "Uncle Tian, can you hear me? Uncle Tian?!"
Just as I was about to hang up and dial 120, Jiang Tianyi's secretary's voice came through the receiver: "Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with you? What are you all standing there for? Call an ambulance right now!"
Immediately afterwards, the other end of the phone became chaotic and was quickly disconnected.
As I listened to the busy tone on the phone, I felt incredibly guilty.
Jiang Man's whereabouts are now unknown. I have already failed Jiang Tianyi's trust. If something happens to him, I will have failed Jiang Man as well.
With this on my mind, I quickly got out of bed and said to the Wei family members, "Please prepare a car for me, I need to go out."
The Wei family member hesitated, saying, "Mr. Duan, Miss just said on the phone that I must take good care of you. After you woke up, I called the doctor, and he should be here soon. Why don't you wait for the doctor to examine you before you go out? Otherwise, if anything happens to you, I can't bear the responsibility!"
I looked into the eyes of the Wei family member and said very seriously, "I know you mean well, but I have a reason to go out right now. Either you prepare a car, or I'll go by myself!"
He seemed a little uncomfortable under my gaze, but eventually gave in: "I'll go prepare it right away."
I hastily put on my clothes and walked unsteadily toward the door: "Take me to the service center to get a new SIM card and a new phone, and then book me a flight from the nearest airport to Tianjin."
I've made up my mind. If I stay here, there's nothing I can do except recuperate.
If Jiang Man is indeed trapped in the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, I alone am unable to launch a search and rescue operation; I must rely on Jiang Tianyi's strength.
Jiang Tianyi has fallen into a coma again, and his condition is unknown.
I need to go to Tianjin as soon as possible.
I don't know if it's because I woke up from a coma or because I had things on my mind, but I always felt like my thoughts were a mess.
Especially when I thought about Jiang Man and the others' situation, I became even more irritable.
The Miao Jiang Fairy Palace has now been destroyed by the people of Ping'an Village. Given its scale at the time, if Jiang Man and the others had not escaped, their chances of survival would have been virtually zero.
Although I didn't want to think about this fact, I knew very well that without my guidance, it would be difficult for them to get out of the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace on their own.
But even if they really perished in the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, I must find them and not let them be buried in such an auspicious place.
Thinking about Jiang Man and the others, I suddenly felt a little envious of Duan Jinyan.
Although he was utterly wicked, he did live a carefree life, especially taking life and death lightly. Perhaps in this world, only a truly wicked person like him could be so free from all attachments.
Accompanied by members of the Wei family, I quickly headed to the county town's mobile phone service center to get a replacement SIM card, and then use my network of connections to rescue Monkey and the others.
The Wei family members came here with Wei Shengnan. They were not familiar with the local transportation and could only follow the navigation.
Just as we were about to reach the service center, a serious traffic jam appeared ahead. Even with dozens of cars between us, we couldn't see what was going on.
I was in a hurry to get back to Tianjin. Looking at the traffic jam ahead, I was extremely frustrated. I said to the man from Weijiamen, "You stay here and wait in line. I'll go get a replacement SIM card!"
"Mr. Duan, let me go with you. You don't have any money or a phone. How are you going to pay for your things?"
Wei Jiamen looked around, then turned the steering wheel and drove to an empty parking space on the side of the road: "I'll park the car on the side of the road, and maybe the traffic jam ahead will be cleared up after we finish shopping!"
"Bang!"
Just as he turned the corner, a car behind us suddenly crashed into the back of our car, causing it to sway.
Immediately afterwards, the driver in the back opened the car door and started cursing: "Damn it, do you guys even know how to drive?! You're crossing the solid line when you turn?"
Hearing the shouts and curses from behind, the Wei family member sighed helplessly: "Mr. Duan, please wait in the car for a moment, I'll go and handle it."
"Buzz!"
Just as he placed his hand on the car door handle, a van behind them suddenly lurched forward and squeezed diagonally into the gap between us and the car in front.
This blocked both our paths in front and behind us.
When I saw the location of those two cars, a bad feeling suddenly arose in my heart: "Don't get out of the car, step on the gas and ram them!"
The Wei family members were slightly taken aback when they heard my words: "Huh?"
While he was still in a daze, a figure wearing a baseball cap suddenly rushed to our car and smashed the window with a hammer.
"Splash!"
As the hammer swung, my car window shattered instantly.
Seeing this person's actions, I unlocked the car door, opened it a crack, and then kicked the door panel hard.
"Bang!"
Taking advantage of the people outside being knocked down by the car door, I rushed out and prepared to run towards the crowd, but after only two steps, everything went black and I passed out.
...
I woke up while being shaken.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a car, with the car's ceiling above my head.
I shook my head, recalling the scene before I lost consciousness. I sat up abruptly, ready to fight my kidnappers, but when I saw the two people sitting in front of me, I froze: "Master? How come it's you?"
Seeing my surprised expression, Niu Tou rolled his eyes at me: "You still have the nerve to ask me? How many times did I tell you back in Fengmen Village to always be vigilant! And what did you do? You got caught so easily, you've completely disgraced us!"
"So the traffic jam I encountered earlier was deliberately created by you? The purpose wasn't to arrest me, was it?"
I looked at the two of them in surprise: "How did you know my location?"
"Fengmen Village's intelligence network may not be all-encompassing, but finding you shouldn't be difficult."
Horse-faced also chimed in, "Old Ox is right. Your performance today has been very disappointing."
I began to defend myself, saying, "I was poisoned by Duan Jinyan before, and I haven't recovered yet. I'm still feeling dizzy and have been lying in bed for several days. My body is also starting to feel the strain!"
“The enemy won’t give up their attack while you’re sick. Being poisoned by Duan Jinyan is nothing to brag about.”
Horse-faced looked at me coldly: "The more dangerous the situation, the more vigilant we need to be!"
Niu Tou then looked at me and said, "Duan Jinyan never leaves any survivors. You were poisoned by him, how are you still alive?"
