Although the address Wenwen mentioned was very general, Lin Fan quickly found the place the little girl mentioned. The only large square was Wanda Plaza in the city center.
But when Lin Fan found the McDonald's fast food restaurant, the store was already in chaos. There were only a few clerks cleaning listlessly. Where could Xu Xiaowan and her daughter be seen?
"What just happened here?" Lin Fan looked at one of the cleaning clerks and asked.
"Don't mention it. Two people just coughed up blood and fainted here. They scared all the guests and ran away."
Speaking of this, the young clerk became very depressed.
"What? What about the person who coughed up blood and fainted?"
Hearing what the clerk said, Lin Fan subconsciously thought it was Xu Xiaowan and her daughter, and a nervous look suddenly appeared on his face.
"It has been taken away by the ambulance."
"Damn, how could this happen?" Lin Fan quickly took out his cell phone and dialed Lin Shiya's number.
"Shiya, please help me check if a mother and daughter have been sent to the hospital right now. The mother's name is Xu Xiaowan and the daughter's name is Wenwen. She is five years old this year."
"Is this kid Wenwen you're talking about the one who was kidnapped and blackmailed by his biological father last time?"
Lin Shiya was immediately impressed when she heard this. After all, it was Lin Shiya who took away Wenwen's scumbag father herself.
"That's right!"
"What happened to them again?" Lin Shiya asked curiously.
"Stop asking questions yet. First, help me check if these two people are in the hospital."
Lin Fan was so anxious that he had no time to explain so much to Lin Shiya.
"All right!"
Seeing Lin Fan's anxious tone, Lin Shiya could only stop asking and agree.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan quietly waited for Lin Siya's call.
Fortunately, Lin Siya didn't keep him waiting for a long time and dialed over quickly.
"Duan Fei, the hospital is in chaos now, and there is no way to help you find these two people."
Lin Siya's tone revealed solemnity and nervousness.
"What happened?" Lin Fan was stunned when he heard this and asked quickly.
"Suddenly, many passers-by coughed up blood and fainted. The hospital is already overcrowded and the staff is too busy to come here. There is no time to find someone for you."
"What?"
Lin Fan was shocked that such an incident had happened.
He thought it was just Xu Xiaowan and her daughter who encountered this situation by chance, but he didn't expect that there were other people like this.
"What on earth is going on? Why do so many people suddenly cough up blood and faint?"
"I don't know the specific situation. I have to go out to maintain law and order. Now the streets are in chaos. All police forces in the East China Sea have been dispatched. I don't have time to talk to you anymore. That's it." Lin Shiya finished.
He couldn't wait to hang up the phone.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, was holding his phone in a daze, wondering what the big deal was.
"gentlemen!"
At this time, the clerk who had been beside him suddenly shouted.
Lin Fan came back to his senses, looked at the other person and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The ones who just fainted in the store were not a mother and daughter, but a man and a woman."
Lin Fan and Lin Shiya spoke loudly just now, so he heard them both.
"Is what you said true?" Lin Fan was delighted when he heard this.
"Yes!" The clerk nodded firmly.
"Very good!"
Lin Fan was overjoyed and secretly cursed that he had been too nervous just now and should have called Xu Xiaowan to confirm first.
So Lin Fan said thank you to the clerk, walked back to his car, and dialed Xu Xiaowan's cell phone.
As soon as the call was connected, Xu Xiaowan's anxious and slightly crying voice rang out.
"Hey, Xiao Fei."
Hearing Xu Xiaowan's voice, Lin Fan suddenly froze and hurriedly said, "What's the matter? Did something happen? Sister!"
"Wenwen is gone." Xu Xiaowan said with a sob.
"What, isn't Wenwen with you? How could she disappear?" Lin Fan was shocked.
"Wow, a lot of people just rushed out of the mall together. I didn't hug her, so Wenwen was scattered by the crowd." Xu Xiaowan said crying.
It turned out that after coming out of the McDonald's store, Xu Xiaowan held Wenwen and walked all the way to the parking space where she was. When passing by a shopping mall, a large group of people suddenly panicked and rushed out. Xu Xiaowan couldn't avoid it, and she stumbled and was hit.
Falling down, even Wenwen held in his arms was knocked out.
Xu Xiaowan was shocked. She stood up like crazy and wanted to pick up Wenwen. She didn't know if her daughter had been injured by the fall just now.
But the crowd kept rushing out, directly separating him and Wenwen. Even if Xu Xiaowan wanted to pass, she couldn't, so she could only stamp her feet anxiously.
Finally, when the crowd dissipated, Wenwen on the opposite side had disappeared.
"Sister, don't worry, tell me your location quickly, and I'll go over and help you find it right now." Lin Fan immediately comforted him.
"Dean Qin, you're here, please take a seat!" Yang Dezhi said to Qin Jinmin who came in in the conference room of the municipal party committee building.
"Secretary Yang is too polite."
Qin Jinmin hurriedly bowed and sat down.
Qin Jinmin felt a little nervous about asking so many big bosses to wait for him.
Yang Dezhi's expression was calm, and he immediately looked at Qin Jinmin and asked: "Dean Qin, I came to you for this meeting just to find out from you why so many people suddenly coughed up blood and fainted. What exactly are they?"
What disease do you have?"
So many people coughed up blood and fainted on the road, which had to attract the attention of him, the municipal Party committee secretary.
Qin Jinmin had already guessed that Secretary Yang came to him for this matter, so he replied very respectfully: "Secretary Yang, in fact, they did not have any disease, but were infected by a virus."
"Virus!"
Yang Dezhi's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly thought of the SARS epidemic in 2002, and the avian influenza virus in previous years.
"Yes, although it is not clear what kind of virus this is, it is no less harmful than SARS." Qin Jinmin replied.
"What!"
In the conference room, discussions suddenly began, and everyone's faces changed.
SARS has long used its example to prove its harmfulness.
However, this virus is no less harmful than SARS. Is it going to be another war without gunpowder?
"Dean Qin is so sure?" Yang Dezhi looked at Qin Jinmin solemnly and asked.
The matter was so important that Yang Dezhi had to treat it with caution and could not tolerate any mistakes.
Qin Jinmin hesitated for a moment. Although the results of the virus had not yet come out, he had already seen the horror of this virus as early as in the hospital, so in the end he nodded and said, "I'm sure."
At this time, the secretary came in with the phone and handed it directly to Yang Dezhi's hand.
After Yang Dezhi answered the call, his expression immediately changed.
He looked at everyone present and said solemnly: "The results from the Institute of Virology have come out and they determined that this is a virus that is no less harmful than SARS. They call it the new coronavirus."
