"According to surveillance and on-site investigations, this was a premeditated car accident..."
"Taking the brunt of it, we have China's renowned young entrepreneur, Gu Jiangyan..."
"Fortunately, despite being at the epicenter of the explosion, Mr. Gu Jiangyan was unharmed..."
"It must be said, this is a miracle..."
"The explosion caused by this car accident has resulted in two deaths, five serious injuries, and over ten minor injuries..."
"The truck driver died in the accident, and the police are continuing their investigation into the case..."
Gu Jiangyan, in his hospital room, turned off the television in the special care unit, his expression grim.
When he saw the large truck hurtling towards him, he instinctively tried to swerve away.
But that person clearly targeted them and left him no opportunity to escape.
His first thought was Xu Shao, who should have been in prison.
He had just discovered he was being tracked by Xu Shao, and then he was in a car accident. How could such a coincidence exist?
Qin Wen knocked and entered.
Gu Jiangyan asked, "Have the police findings been released yet?"
Qin Wen replied, "The truck driver's name is Cui Ping. He used to work as a security guard at Huan Yu but was dismissed by the company due to his misconduct."
Gu Jiangyan's brows furrowed sharply.
It turned out to be someone fired from his own company, which would make it difficult to trace the person behind him.
What Qin Wen said next confirmed his suspicions.
"Cui Ping died in the car accident. According to the clues he left behind, they all point towards a revenge killing."
"The police are currently retrieving his recent call records and financial transactions."
Gu Jiangyan's expression was icy, "Since the mastermind could find Cui Ping, they are certainly not foolish. How could they expose themselves?"
He pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and made a call.
"Brother, I need your help."
"You saw the news about my car accident, right? Take over the case."
"I'm not sure who the instigator is, but I suspect a wealthy second-generation heir named Xu Shao. We have some conflicts."
"He was present at the scene. I'll send you the details later."
"He already has a criminal record. I don't know how he got out. You can look into that as well."
After hanging up, he saw Qin Wen still standing there with a serious expression.
"Is there anything else?"
"Boss, the young miss is missing."
Qin Wen's voice boomed in his ears, and Gu Jiangyan's head buzzed.
Gu Jiangyan's face turned ashen, "What happened?"
Qin Wen said gravely, "After I arrived at the hospital, I only saw you and Madam. The young miss was not there."
"But according to the nurses, you, Madam, and the young miss were all admitted to the hospital at the same time."
"Because they were all at the epicenter of the explosion and only fainted without any injuries, they have a deep impression of it."
"But the peculiar thing is this."
"They knew the young miss came with them, yet they have no recollection of her disappearance."
"It's as if they subconsciously ignored her existence."
"Only when I came and asked about the young miss did they remember her."
Gu Jiangyan's fists clenched tightly.
His mind involuntarily recalled the azure light screen he saw before he fainted, like a dying man's hallucination.
He saw his car on the news, already blown to smithereens.
Even the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians had suffered so many casualties.
But the three of them, who were at the epicenter of the explosion, had miraculously survived without a scratch.
Whether it was the azure light screen at the moment of the car crash or Qin Wen's account of everyone overlooking Sheng Sheng, it was all filled with a sense of fantastical strangeness.
"What about Jian Junru?" Gu Jiangyan asked.
"Madam is still unconscious..."
"I'm here."
Qin Wen's words were interrupted by a hoarse female voice from outside the door.
"You just said Sheng Sheng is missing?"
Jian Junru's voice was hoarse, her eyes bloodshot.
"Junru, calm down first."
Jian Junru abruptly pushed away his outstretched hand.
"Calm down, calm down, calm down! What else can you do besides tell me to calm down?"
Jian Junru shouted, then took a few deep breaths.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Saying that, she turned and left.
"Qin Wen, go follow her."
"Yes, Boss."
Gu Jiangyan pressed his temples and found the call number he had just used, dialing it again.
"I need to trouble you with something else..."
"My daughter is missing..."
Qin Wen followed Jian Junru.
He knew the boss was worried about Madam's safety, fearing she might do something rash in her emotional state.
However, he soon realized he was overthinking.
Jian Junru was acting extraordinarily calm at the moment.
She first called the police, and after the officers arrived and explained the situation, she began to check the hospital's surveillance.
She discovered that Jian Sheng had been brought in by the same ambulance as them, and Jian Sheng was still under surveillance at that time.
But when two nurses pushed Jian Sheng into the hospital, they passed through a blind spot in the surveillance.
By the time they re-entered the monitored area, Jian Sheng had vanished.
And those two nurses seemed oblivious to anything.
The police quickly found the two nurses, but the nurses could not provide any coherent explanation.
They were even unsure if they had transported anyone or where they were supposed to take them.
The two nurses were taken to the police station by the police.
The investigation once again hit a dead end.
The police, starting with the surveillance and the nurses and doctors, investigated Jian Sheng's situation.
Simultaneously, a missing person notice was posted on the public security system.
Jian Junru then withdrew most of her bank balance and posted a reward through the missing person notice on the public security system.
At the same time, she contacted various media outlets and internet websites to post the reward notices.
After doing all this, Jian Junru sent a message to Jian Xiuhuan, hoping he could repost her missing person notice and mobilize his fans to help search.
Jian Xiuhuan, upon hearing this, was also anxious.
While reposting and appealing to his fans for help, he added another three million to Jian Junru's two million reward.
After doing everything he could, Jian Junru wearily leaned against a roadside lamppost and sat down.
She picked up her phone and dialed a number she hadn't dialed in over ten years.
"Little sister?" Jian Jun Tan's steady voice came through the phone.
It was as if she instantly found a source of support.
Jian Junru could no longer hold back her tears, which rolled down her cheeks.
"Sheng Sheng is gone, brother, help me."
Her voice was hoarse.
On the other end of the line, Jian Jun Tan suddenly stood up.
-
After the call ended, Jian Junru buried her head deeply in her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
Qin Wen stood a few steps away, watching silently, his nose feeling a bit sore.
But he couldn't find any words of comfort.
At this moment, his phone rang; it was Gu Jiangyan calling.
He was calling to inquire about Jian Junru's condition.
Qin Wen recounted what Jian Junru had done.
After he finished speaking, Gu Jiangyan remained silent for a long time, and Qin Wen also fell silent.
He quietly waited for the boss's next instructions.
After a while, Gu Jiangyan came back to his senses.
He realized he had already hung up on Qin Wen, and his hand was hovering over his contacts, on the calling interface of a contact.
And before he even realized it, his hand had already subconsciously pressed the call button.
As soon as the phone vibrated, Gu Jiangyan quickly hung up.
Gu Jiangyan's expression was complicated. Just as he was about to put away his phone, it began to ring.
It was the number he had just dialed, which had called back after being hung up.
