Hong Kong is in full swing

Chapter 137 The Situation is Dire

After receiving clear instructions from his boss, the assistant had to put down the last document he had not finished reading, turned around and left the room and closed the door.

Although he was now alone in the house, the fierce wind and heavy rain outside did not change at all. Even in the evening, the sky was as dark as midnight. Huo Shuyan suddenly wanted to call Yu Wan to see how she was doing, but when the call was connected, there was no response from the other party...

After Huo Shuyan hung up the phone, he tried to dial again.

Still no one answered, which made him feel an ominous premonition.

His brows were furrowed, and his mouth was pressed into a line.

Unwilling to give up, he tried to call again, but still no one answered.

This situation made him more and more anxious.

Then he remembered another person who might know the situation - Dongyue, so he called her.

As soon as the call was connected, before Dong Yue could speak, he couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Yu Wan now?"

Dong Yue was silent for a while, "Miss Yu and Young Master Wei are on a business trip."

she replied.

After hearing the news, Huo Shuyan immediately turned his gaze to Wei Size and quickly dialed the familiar number.

However, there was still no response.

As time went on, even his own fingers seemed to start to grow cold.

"Where exactly did they go on this business trip? When did they arrive at their destination? Did they arrive safely?"

he asked anxiously.

Dongyue patiently explained, "They just landed in the Sanqin area three hours ago. Miss Yu has already informed Tongtong via WeChat that they are safe. I will try to contact her now to see what the situation is."

Huo Shuyan could only hold the phone tightly in his hand and wait for a response, but there was only a monotonous ringtone on the other end, and he never heard the voice he longed for most.

After noticing that something was amiss, Dongyue suggested, "I will immediately contact the local police and inquire about the specific situation."

"Ok."

This was the only answer Huo Shuyan could give at this moment.

The whole room was shrouded in an indescribable heavy atmosphere. He stared blankly at the motionless clock hands in front of him, praying deep in his heart that everything would be safe and sound.

Finally, after a long twenty minutes, the ringtone rang again, and the caller ID showed it was Dongyue.

"Mr. Huo, Sanqin was hit by severe rainstorms, and it is said that the area where Miss Yu is located also suffered serious flood disasters." Dong Yue's words hit the softest part of his heart like a bolt from the blue, making his body surrounded by coldness from the inside out.

After listening to this, Huo Shuyan felt as if his whole body was immersed in ice water, and the coldness penetrated every corner.

"We must find her no matter what!"

"We must not give up no matter what. We must bring her back safely!"

"Please take action immediately! We can't waste even a second!"

A brief but firm reply came from the other side: "Understood."

Then the call ended.

Without stopping for too long, Huo Shuyan stood up and walked quickly towards the door.

The assistant who had been quietly observing the situation from the side quickly stood up and tried to understand what had happened and what to do next.

"Hurry up and book me the fastest flight to Sanqin. We must rush over to rescue people as soon as possible."

Huo Shuyan instructed his assistant quickly and forcefully.

"But if you return to China immediately to participate in the emergency rescue operation, what will happen to the important business meeting scheduled for tomorrow? Besides, the sky over England is currently experiencing severe weather, and there are major safety hazards during the flight..." Faced with the sudden decision, the assistant was obviously very surprised and full of worries. He tried to stop Huo Shuyan and raised the above questions.

However, the latter did not stop. "Let other executives handle this meeting. Don't worry too much about it. And don't worry too much about the pilot. I can fly back directly in my own private plane."

As he walked, he told his plan in a firm manner that would not tolerate any negotiation.

Looking at Huo Shuyan's receding figure, the assistant was anxious and wanted to persuade him to change his mind again: "But Mr. Huo..." But he knew that all this was irreversible, and could only watch him leave in a hurry.

Blocked by an arm that was thrown across, Huo Shuyan stopped and looked at him. His eyes, which were usually calm and gentle, were now filled with gloom like the sky before a storm.

He pursed his lips tightly, as if trying to suppress his anger.

His voice was low, but every word that burst out from his chest carried a deterrent force that could not be ignored.

"This is the last time I'm telling you," he said slowly and forcefully, each word sounding cold and hard as if carved from ice. "Get out of the way."

The assistant couldn't help but shudder, feeling a chill down his spine, as if a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight up to his heart.

He knew that he couldn't confront the other party now, so he could only lower his head slightly and slowly move his feet to make a path for the other party.

Looking at his back as he left, the assistant's back was already soaked with sweat.

This was the first time he saw his usually calm and composed leader express anger so obviously, which made the already tense working atmosphere even more solemn.

The plane's engines began to rumble as the ground crew busily made final preparations for the upcoming takeoff.

After checking every necessary procedure, Huo Shuyan put on professional flight equipment, then walked straight to the cockpit and sat in.

The colleague sitting next to him looked at the pitch-black sky outside with some concern and asked quietly, "Do we really not need to arrange for an experienced pilot to accompany us? You see, the weather outside right now is extremely bad."

"No, that would take up too much time."

Huo Shuyan answered without hesitation, without a trace of wavering in his tone.

He has very clear goals and plans in his mind, even though the external environment is not optimistic at this time.

In fact, in his opinion, pilots are often too cautious to take the risk of speeding up easily for the sake of passenger safety, but this is exactly what he cannot accept - for him, time is the most precious thing in life, and not a minute or a second can be wasted.

The staff came to confirm again that everything was ready, and after a strict inspection, they notified us that it could be started.

Afterwards, Huo Shuyan operated the huge machine alone, slowly sliding out of the runway, and finally successfully achieved vertical take-off and landing with a roar.

Soon, the plane penetrated the thick clouds and entered a violent storm.

Lightning and thunder are constantly intertwined, giving people an extremely depressing feeling on such a night.
