"Unable to contact...what do you mean??" A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Su Mu's heart.
"Even...I can't get through her phone..." Director Chen replied in a weak voice.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Su Mu finally couldn't help but ask: "Where is my mother?"
"..."
Director Chen's voice suddenly fell silent. After a long while, Su Mu heard his deep voice answer him with three words:
"Syria."
His mother went to Syria??
Su Mu was shocked, hadn't that country been in a civil war since the beginning of last year?
"Isn't this the beginning of 2011 when a conflict broke out between the Syrian government and the Syrian opposition group IS..." Director Chen on the other side of the phone explained to Sumu: "At that time, the agency hoped that someone could go to the front line to report.
Let’s take a look at the civil war over there. Your mother has several other classmates.
I volunteered to go there. When they set off, it was probably more than half a year ago. We have always been in contact, but in the past few days, I don’t know why, the contact was suddenly interrupted... I don’t know why.
Has the war situation escalated, or is it really just that the phone battery is out of power..."
Director Chen continued to talk on the phone, but Su Mu didn't hear a word of what he said next.
His mother is now in war-torn Syria??
She actually went from being a reporter reporting on real social events to becoming a war correspondent??
Su Mu's white and slender fingers held her phone tightly. Does she really not care about her own safety at all?
When she signed up to go to Syria, did she ever think that he and Su Xiaoli were still at home?
Su Daonian looked at the uncertain expression on Su Mu's face with worried eyes, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "How's it going? What did your mother's colleagues say?"
"..."
Su Mu turned around, looked at Su Daonian with a pair of deep black eyes for a long time, then lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Director Chen said she went to Syria."
Syria!?
Isn’t that a country in the middle of a civil war?
Su Daonian was suddenly shocked and said: "Why did she go to Syria? Isn't she a gossip reporter?"
"She went to be a war correspondent." Su Mu looked up and looked at himself in the mirror. No matter how angry he was that she had left him and Xiaoli alone, his face was still full of worry.
"This...it doesn't matter if she is not a good gossip reporter. She can go and do social practical affairs and financial economics. How come she doesn't do social reporting and instead becomes a war correspondent!?" Su Daonian suddenly said anxiously:
"What is she thinking in her head all day long?? Sixteen years ago, too, she ran away without saying a word, just like she disappeared from the world!!"
"..."
Su Mu listened to Su Daonian's words and suddenly turned to look at him, "Sixteen years ago?? You knew my mother??"
"I..." Su Daonian was startled, and then he realized that in his haste, he had actually let the news slip, "No, I don't know your mother, I... I just heard about it."
"Who did you listen to??" Su Mu looked at the expression on Su Daonian's face, recalling the scene where he came to chat with him as if nothing had happened, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
