In that extremely bad premonition, Xu Rongrong answered the phone:
"Hello."
Before the other party could answer, her heartbeat had already lost control at this moment.
Suddenly, she felt as if something was getting further and further away from her...
"Rongrong." Liang Shuxian's voice reached Xu Rongrong's ears through the receiver, "Did Yiyang tell you that he would be back today?"
"...Yes." Unconsciously, Xu Rongrong's hand gripped the phone tighter.
Liang Shuxian's voice was very low, as if she was suppressing something: "Rongrong, today... don't wait for Yiyang."
Xu Rongrong just felt his breath suffocating: "Why?"
"..." Liang Shuxian on the other end said nothing, but Xu Rongrong could feel the suppressed trembling on the other end of the phone without her having to say it.
"Auntie." Xu Rongrong tried not to panic, "Tell me, did something happen to Yiyang? Did he have an accident?"
"Rong Rong..." Liang Shuxian's voice started to choke, "It's better that you don't know for the time being."
"..."
Xu Rongrong already knew that something happened to Zhan Yiyang.
At this moment, Xu Rongrong felt that the whole world had left him, and what immediately left her was the strength around her.
Her hands could no longer be clenched into fists, and the phone slipped silently from her palm.
In an instant, the world began to spin, and her life lost its direction. Xu Rongrong felt as if she was in the vast sea. Looking around, she could see the vast white water as far as the eye could see. She didn't know how to get to the shore.
In other words, she has clearly felt that before she reaches the shore, she will be submerged by the oncoming sea water and suffocate to death...
Before returning to City A, she could survive in such a harsh environment in Lushui Town.
But when she returned to this familiar place, she didn't know how to survive without Zhan Yiyang.
"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law..." Zhan Yilin was frightened by Xu Rongrong's current appearance. She went up and grabbed her hand tightly, "Sister-in-law, look at me!"
"..." At this time, Xu Rongrong's brain was completely blank. Even if she could feel Zhan Yilin holding her hand, she couldn't hear what Zhan Yilin was saying.
"Sister-in-law!" Zhan Yilin gritted her teeth as she watched Xu Rongrong's face turn pale little by little, and her eyes became vacant and lifeless, "Listen to me..."
"Auntie, did you lie to me?" Xu Rongrong suddenly looked at Zhan Yilin, holding her shoulders as if asking for help. There was already a mist in his eyes, "Auntie must have lied to me, right?"
The fact that she could still ask such a question meant that she hadn't completely collapsed. Zhan Yilin gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law... Auntie... she won't make such a joke with you."
"..."
Xu Rongrong almost collapsed completely.
That's right, she can't deceive herself.
If this call was made by someone else, such as Ye Zi'an or Gu Yixuan, then she could still stubbornly think it was a joke.
But how could Liang Shuxian, an intellectual and elegant elder over fifty years old, make such a joke with her?
Therefore, something really happened to Zhan Yiyang.
After realizing this, Xu Rongrong had no time to think too much or collapse. She stood up almost immediately: "I'm going to find him."
Her thin little face showed determination to never look back.
"No!" Zhan Yilin stood up and stopped Xu Rongrong almost subconsciously, "Sister-in-law, we don't know where my brother has gone. Besides, if something really happened to him, the chief would have arranged for someone to help him.
We went to rescue. We can't help at all..."
"But I..." Xu Rongrong's tears fell quickly. She looked at Zhan Yilin helplessly, "I... what can I do?" Something happened to Zhan Yiyang, and she could not stay in the hospital calmly.
"Take care of yourself." Zhan Yilin said, "You can safely leave all other matters to us. Believe me, the chief will do his best to get my brother back safely."
Xu Rongrong's face was buried deeply in her palms - she couldn't do it, she couldn't do nothing. No matter what Zhan Yiyang's situation was now, she just wanted to stay with him.
"Yilin, where is he?" Xu Rongrong looked at Zhan Yilin with almost pleading eyes, "If you ask Haoran, they will definitely know if they work together."
"..." Zhan Yilin hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed Chen Haoran's number.
The call was quickly connected. Xu Rongrong motioned to Zhan Yilin to give her the phone. Zhan Yilin nodded and told Chen Haoran softly: "Sister-in-law has something to ask you."
As soon as Xu Rongrong took the phone from Zhan Yilin, he immediately asked, "Haoran, where did Yiyang go on his mission? You must know, right? Tell me, I'm going to find him!"
"I..." Chen Haoran sighed, "I know. But, Rongrong, you can't go to that place alone. I'm already directing and deploying the rescue. You believe me, okay? I will definitely do it."
Try your best to make Yiyang okay."
"I believe you." Xu Rongrong said, "But, I...I want to find him..."
"I know you are very worried about Yiyang's situation." Chen Haoran said, "In this way, as soon as there is any progress, I will call you as soon as possible."
Xu Rongrong wanted to say something else, but Zhan Yilin told her at this moment: "Sister-in-law, Haoran will be responsible for the rescue work."
She quickly understood what Zhan Yilin meant: now, whether Zhan Yiyang can come back safely depends on how Chen Haoran operates. Therefore, she cannot distract Chen Haoran.
Although he wanted to ask the situation clearly, in the end, Xu Rongrong hung up the phone and let Chen Haoran concentrate on commanding and deploying the rescue.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much yet." Zhan Yilin tried her best to calm Xu Rongrong's emotions, "I will be here with you. No matter what happens, we will definitely know it as soon as possible."
"How could something happen to Yi Yang?" Xu Rongrong looked at Zhan Yilin, his eyes full of confusion, "He was fine two days ago."
"This...the content of the mission cannot be leaked." Zhan Yilin said helplessly, "So, I don't know why something happened to my brother."
Xu Rongrong was obviously in a daze. After a while, he nodded and sat on the bed.
She curled up into a ball, hugging her legs tightly with her hands and resting her chin on her knees. The anger that had finally gathered in her eyes disappeared at some point.
Zhan Yilin looked at Xu Rongrong and sighed silently in her heart - she knew that Xu Rongrong must be very scared now, because she is extremely dependent on Zhan Yiyang. If something happens to Zhan Yiyang, she will think,
Her only reliance in this world is gone, so she...has no future.
Xu Rongrong was really scared. She just hugged herself and sat on the bed. What passed through her mind were all the details between her and Zhan Yiyang these days.
She was very afraid that this warmth would quietly cease to exist like extinguished fire, leaving her to live in darkness forever.
The most desperate thing was that she could only watch the flames go out, unable to do anything.
The more he thought about it, the tighter Xu Rongrong hugged himself and his head lowered.
Seeing Xu Rongrong's appearance, Zhan Yilin could do nothing but feel distressed.
She had expected early on that Xu Rongrong would endure such pain.
Sometimes, people have to endure some pain before they can get what they want.
In this way, Zhan Yilin accompanied Xu Rongrong silently until noon.
During these few hours, Xu Rongrong maintained that extremely insecure posture and never changed, until Zhan Yilin's cell phone rang.
As soon as he heard the ringing, Xu Rongrong suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhan Yilin: "Is it Haoran?"
Zhan Yilin nodded: "It's him."
Almost without saying a word, Xu Rongrong went over to take the phone and connected it: "Haoran, how are you?"
"Rongrong..." Chen Haoran's voice was so low that Xu Rongrong could hardly hear him, but it could not hide the sadness in his voice, "I... tried my best..."
At this moment, Xu Rongrong's brain felt as if it was about to burst. She closed her eyes and said, "Tell me, you found Yiyang and he came back safe and sound."
"..."
After a long silence, Chen Haoran's voice sounded again: "I'm sorry, Rongrong, I really...tried my best. Yiyang...he can't come back."
"..." Xu Rongrong bit his lower lip desperately, trying to hold back tears, "Haoran, don't make such a joke. Please, don't make such a joke."
"I'm not kidding." Chen Haoran repeated those extremely cruel words, "Rongrong, Yiyang... he can't come back."
The cruel and bloody facts were placed in front of Xu Rongrong, waiting for her to face them.
She shook her head, she backed away, she didn't believe it, and it couldn't change the fact.
Finally, all Xu Rongrong's emotions collapsed.
With a "bang" sound, the phone in her palm slipped hard and hit the ground.
She could no longer bite her lip, and after letting go, she could no longer suppress her cries.
Two days ago, only two days ago, the person on the other side of the computer told her that he would be back in two days, but today, she was told that he would not be back.
For a moment, the only sound left in the entire ward was Xu Rongrong's crying.
"Sister-in-law." Zhan Yilin came up and hugged Xu Rongrong, "Don't be like this. Do you remember that my eldest brother once told you that no matter what happens, you must face it with strength."
Xu Rongrong's crying became louder and louder. As for the words Zhan Yiyang said to her... they must have been said before her accident, and she had no memory of them at all.
Now, Zhan Yiyang has left, but she still can't remember what happened before...
Thinking like this, Xu Rongrong subconsciously began to try to remember the past.
She just wanted to remember, to remember everything she had with Zhan Yiyang.
