7.30 pm.
Qian Lihua has less than 40 minutes left!
Dong Xuebing, who was in the living room, called Liu Chenlong. He must save Sister Yu's mother no matter what!
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off …"
"Sorry, the …" Liu Chenlong's phone is out of battery!
What should I do? Where can I go to inform them? Even if Liu Chenlong gets through, what should I say? Ask Qian Lihua to leave the café immediately? Tell them that there will be a car accident later? Why should they believe me? What if the other party was just being perfunctory, but was still eating and drinking in the cafe?
Don't panic! Don't panic!
There is still time! There is still time!
Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and rushed downstairs with his keys.
On his way downstairs, Dong Xuebing called Yu Meixia.
"Hello, Uncle." Yu Qianqian answered.
Dong Xuebing asked anxiously. "Where is your mother?"
"She is in the toilet."
"Hurry! Pass the phone to her and ask your mother to answer!"
"Ok! I will call my mother! "Knock … knock … knock … Footsteps could be heard." Mum … Mum … Uncle wants you to answer the phone! It's urgent! "
After a while, Yu Meixia answered. "Xiao Bing?"
Dong Xuebing shouted. "Bring Qianqian to the City now! Hurry! The faster, the better! "
"What's wrong?"
"Your mother might be in trouble! Come over now! "
"Ah? She … she … "
"Don't ask anything. I don't have time to explain, and there might not be any buses to the City now. I will give you a number. It's Feng Lei from Yan Tai County Public Security Bureau. Call him! Ask him to get someone to send you to the City! Tell him I told him to call you! "
"Ok! Ok! I … I will call him now! Call him now! "
Yu Meixia was scared to hear that her mother was in trouble!
Dong Xuebing had run out of the building and hung up. He boarded his Cayenne and dashed out of the hostel. Nanshan District Luogu Street is the border between Nanshan District and Xiping District. More than a decade ago, Luogu Street was still under Xiping District's jurisdiction. That's why it is very far from Nanshan District. Dong Xuebing knows time is of the essence. He called someone to get Qian Lihua's number and rushed to the scene!
There was still half an hour before 8: 10 PM!
If the time on the report was exaggerated, to be precise, there was not even half an hour left. There were only about 20 minutes left!
After a while, Dong Xuebing got a phone number. He is not sure if it is Qian Lihua's number, and he quickly dialed it.
Du du du, du du du. The call went through, but no one picked up!
Dong Xuebing called again, but no one answered!
Dong Xuebing threw his phone on the passenger seat and slammed the steering wheel angrily. He looked at the slightly congested road and stepped on the accelerator. He drove past the congested road and entered an alley under the shocked gazes of the drivers and passers-by.
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Dong Xuebing took shortcuts and ran!
…
Meanwhile.
Luogu Street, Nanshan District.
In a Japanese cafe, Qian Lihua and Yoo Chenlong sat facing each other in a glass partition. Classical music was playing around them, and the atmosphere was good.
Liu Chenlong was wearing a formal suit today. He looked very energetic. Even his hair was oiled and tied to the back of his head. He looked much younger than his actual age. Qian Lihua, on the other hand, was dressed in work attire with an indifferent expression on her face. She was in her fifties and didn't have much makeup on her face. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes could be seen clearly. Her dressing was relatively casual.
"Your phone has rung a few times." Yoo Chenlong looked at Dong Xuebing. "Why are you not picking up?"
Qian Lihua stirred her coffee with a spoon. "I don't know the number."
Yoo Chenlong shook his head. "What if it is urgent? If there are any delays … "
Qian Lihua heard what Yoo Chenlong said and interrupted him coldly. "I will pick up the phone if I want to, and I will not pick up the phone if I don't want to. Don't mind my own business!"
Liu Chenlong replied helplessly. "Lihua, it's all my fault. After Tongtong went missing, I should not drink to drown my sorrows. I should not be angry at you every day. I had realized this a long time ago, and all I can think about is you and Tongtong. You know I am not doing well."
Qian Lihua was furious. "Don't mention our daughter to me!" Qian Lihua's eyes trembled.
Yoo Chenlong sighed. "I have been looking for Tongtong since our divorce. I believe she is fine, and she must be doing well somewhere. She might even be married and have children."
"Is this what you want to talk to me about?"
"I want to say …" Yoo Chenlong paused and looked into his ex-wife's eyes. "We are already at this age, and you are going to retire soon. Have you thought about your future?"
Qian Lihua looked at him. "What do you mean?"
Yoo Chenlong replied seriously. "I mean … let's get married again. We can take care of each other."
Hearing this, Qian Lihua said resolutely, "Impossible!"
"I know I owe you after Tongtong went missing, and I did not treat you well. But I have reflected on it, and I want to make it up to you for the rest of my life."
"Don't even think about getting married again!"
"Lihua, I can promise you that I will stop drinking, and I will live a good life …"
"I don't need your promise! Unless you bring Tongtong to me! Find my daughter and bring her back! "
"I have been looking for her, but …"
"Then I will wait for you to find her!"
"You have been alone for so many years. I know you are still …"
"Is there anything else?" Qian Lihua picked up her bag and stood up. "I'm leaving!"
"Don't." Yoo Chenlong quickly said. "Can you finish your coffee? I won't talk about getting married again. I won't talk about it. "
Qian Lihua suppressed her anger and sat down slowly.
Liu Chenlong sighed in his heart. He knew that his ex-wife still hadn't forgiven him. His daughter, Tong Tong, had disappeared when she was five years old. Tong Tong was their biological child. This incident had caused a huge rift in their relationship. The quarrels, conflicts, and divorce were all caused by this incident. As Qian Lihua said, as long as they couldn't find their daughter, this thorn in their hearts would never disappear. How could they talk about remarrying?
But his daughter had been missing for almost 30 years.
How could he find her in the sea of people? It was almost impossible!
Thinking of Tongtong's cute figure when she was young, Yoo Chenlong felt a stab of pain in his heart. He fell silent.
Qian Lihua didn't say a word either. Her eyes flashed with sadness and concern. She also thought of her daughter. She thought of Xiao Tongtong, who chased after them and called out "Daddy and Mommy" in a childish voice!
Was she doing well?
Where was she now??
At that moment, Qian Lihua and Liu Chenlong were deep in their own thoughts. No one noticed that at the T-junction next to the cafe, a silver Jetta had suddenly turned right at the traffic light. It was heading straight for the cafe that had no road at all!
"I will continue to find out more about Tongtong." Yoo Chenlong put down his coffee cup and said, "As long as I, Yoo Chenlong, am alive, I will continue to look for her!"
Qian Lihua lowered her head and ate her snacks without saying a word.
Suddenly, someone in the cafe screamed. "Ah!"
"A car! The car is coming! "
"Be careful! Be careful! "
"Ah! Get out of the way! "
Qian Lihua and Yoo Chenlong looked suspiciously at the few people who screamed. When they saw them looking at them, they could not help but be stunned. They followed their gazes and looked out of the window.
A Jetta was speeding towards them!
It was heading towards where Qian Lihua was sitting!
"Lihua!" Yoo Chenlong stood up. "Be careful!" He reached out to grab her, but there was a long table in between them. It was the kind that was quite a distance away. His grab missed!
Qian Lihua was stunned. She wanted to jump away, but it was too late!
The silver Jetta was already in front of her! Whoosh! It rushed over!
"Lihua!!"
"Be careful!"
"Ah! It's going to hit someone! "
The cafe was filled with screams. Many people closed their eyes in despair!
The speed of the Jetta was too fast. The glass outside the cafe was almost on the ground. There was no way to stop it. If they rushed in, they would definitely die. Even a deity would not be able to save them!
At that critical moment, a figure ran over from outside the cafe!
Just when Qian Lihua stood up and wanted to jump away, she was stuck in the gap between the chair and the table. Just when Liu Chenlong was desperately trying to grab his ex-wife, a figure of a young man suddenly came from the outside. He was holding a heavy object in his hand and smashed the glass with a loud crack. He rushed forward and flew into the cafe using the inertia. Behind the young man was the Volkswagen Jetta, almost pressing on his buttocks as it followed closely behind!
Dong!
The young man threw himself onto the table between Liu Chenlong and Qian Lihua. With his arm on the ground, he used an almost impossible posture to jump up again. His other hand, however, grabbed Qian Lihua's waist and pulled her into his arms. Then, he carried her and threw himself onto the tile floor at the side!
The next second!
The Jetta crashed into the cafe! The chair that Qian Lihua was sitting on was smashed into pieces!
Bang!
A loud bang reverberated through the cafe!
"Ah!"
"Lihua!"
Liu Chenlong rushed to Qian Lihua, who was lying on the ground, and hugged her. "How is it? Are you okay? "
Qian Lihua's body was cut by the glass shards, and she is bleeding!
"Ambulance! Call the ambulance! "Yoo Chenlong shouted!
A nearby cafe employee hurriedly took out his phone to call for an ambulance.
The young man who rushed in to save Yoo Chenlong is Dong Xuebing. He was also badly injured and was lying two meters away from Qian Lihua.
I made it!
I finally made it!
Dong Xuebing sat up and saw Liu Chenlong's back is facing him, and he is still chatting with his ex-wife. Dong Xuebing was speechless. He thought to himself. I had fallen so badly, and you should at least ask me a question.
But everyone was looking at Dong Xuebing as if they had seen a ghost!
Who would have thought that there would be such a fearless person in this world!!
