Chapter 170 Driving the Living Stakes
How could Luo Huai not see Zhu Shuangshuang off, especially since it was the weekend? She had already prepared many gifts and asked someone to send them to Zhu Shuangshuang's home first. After packing up, she went to the airport with Xing Yanzhao.
"There are bodyguards, so you don't need to worry."
“I’m free right now.” After Xing Yanzhao finished speaking, Luo Huai gave him a deep look, took his arm and said, “Let’s go.” Zhu Shuangshuang also sent a message saying she was on the bus and posted a message on her WeChat Moments to say goodbye to Ning Cheng.
As soon as the two arrived at the airport, Xing Yanzhao received a call from Shen Zhu.
"Boss, something big has happened at the shopping mall project. A body has been found, and the police have been notified. President Kuang has also gone there, but a lot of reporters have arrived. It's all over the internet now, and the photos and videos are being forwarded so fast that we can't delete them all. Some people even suspect that we... are using a live stake..."
Xing Yanzhao's pupils dilated.
"Live burial" refers to burying people alive on construction sites to ensure the project can proceed smoothly. This practice has been common throughout history and has been exposed before, ultimately leading to the collapse of the entire company and imprisonment of the whole family.
"I'll be right there." Xing Yanzhao said solemnly.
"What's wrong?" Luo Huai didn't hear the conversation on the phone. "Is there something urgent at the company? I'll be fine by myself. You go ahead and do your work. I know the way back."
"There's something I need to do in court that requires my personal visit." Xing Yanzhao remained calm, so Luo Huai wasn't worried and smiled, urging him to hurry over, as the matter was important.
Xing Yanzhao instructed his bodyguards to take good care of Luo Huai, then drove away. As soon as the car was out of Luo Huai's sight, it sped off like a wild horse, showing how anxious he was.
At the same time, the taxi Zhu Shuangshuang was in arrived at the airport entrance. With the car window open, she could see a bright spot surrounded by bodyguards in the distance.
Luo Huai?
She peered out in disbelief and called out "Luo Huai!" The other person turned around and saw that it really was her!
Zhu Shuangshuang was so excited that she got out of the car as soon as it stopped and rushed towards Luo Huai. The bodyguard instinctively reached out to stop her, and she knew that Luo Huai was pregnant, so she quickly braked.
"Ahhh! How did you sneak in here?" She gently hugged Luo Huai's shoulder, jumping up and down to express her joy.
Although she said she didn't need Luo Huai to see her off, the sudden appearance of her good friend was still a pleasant surprise.
"Waaaaah, you really love me the most."
"Alright, I'll take you inside to wait for your flight." Luo Huai put his phone, which he had just turned on, back into his bag, and then gestured for the bodyguard to get Zhu Shuangshuang's suitcase so they could go through the first level of security.
Zhu Shuangshuang clung to her arm, refusing to let go, like a clingy little animal. Luo Huai also enjoyed her good friend's affectionate behavior.
I also reminded you to be careful on your way home, to send a message after you get off the plane, and to let me know when you get home.
Normally, Zhu Shuangshuang would have said she was nagging, but today she listened attentively, nodding and humming repeatedly, and started to cry again.
"I'll miss you so much, Luo Huai, but don't worry, I'll definitely be there for you when you give birth, and I'll be your bridesmaid at your wedding too. Remember to answer my video calls..."
"Okay," Luo Huai said.
"Yeah, I have to go through security. There's a really long line, and it's a long walk inside. My parents are already at the airport."
Luo Huai looked at her and said, "Shuangshuang, be careful on the road."
Zhu Shuangshuang was reluctant to leave, turning back every few steps to go through security, until she was completely out of sight before Luo Huai turned to go back.
As she walked out of the airport, she repeatedly tried to check her phone, but her bodyguard kept interrupting her, reminding her to watch her step or be aware of people.
Reaching the car, Luo Huai turned and asked, "You've been preventing me from looking at my phone. Is there something on it that I can't see?"
People are always rebellious; even if others forbid her from watching, she insists on watching anyway.
"lady!"
The bodyguards were too late to stop him. Luo Huai opened his phone and his screen was filled with news about a new technology project in Chaoye that had unearthed a body. The matter had caused quite a stir.
The photos and videos taken by passersby showed Xing Yanzhao, Kuangye, and Shen Zhu. The company's work group was also buzzing with discussion. Although the company's employees trusted the company, they couldn't resist the hype from external marketing accounts and the overwhelming opinions of netizens.
Luo Huai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, to the company."
The bodyguards got into the car, and the two vehicles quickly left the airport.
A red Maserati followed closely behind, and less than half a minute later, an ordinary black car also caught up.
Luo Huai couldn't get through to Xing Yanzhao on the phone and knew he was busy dealing with things and didn't have time to answer, so he joined everyone in the reporter's live broadcast.
The scene was cordoned off, making it impossible to photograph what was happening inside, but there were many onlookers discussing the matter.
The noise coming from the video made Luo Huai feel suffocated and annoyed.
The weather in June and July is also unpredictable; one moment the sun is shining brightly, and the next moment dark clouds cover the sun, as if a mountain rain is about to come.
Luo Huai paid no attention to the weather outside; his eyes were glued to his phone screen.
Shouts of varying pitches could be heard coming from inside.
"The chairman and president of Chaoye Technology have arrived!"
The reporter immediately rushed over with a microphone and camera, but the bodyguards blocked him a meter away. The shaky camera only captured Xing Yanzhao's furrowed brows and his eyes.
"Stop filming."
As the man's voice faded, something seemed to fall to the ground, and the live stream went black.
At the same time, Luo Huai suddenly felt the car shake.
Boom!
The sky roared, the car shook again, and Luo Huai's body, which had been thrown into the air, fell heavily back into his seat. Before he could see anything clearly, everything went black.
The heavy rain pounded against the car window.
Cars stopped one after another on the road, and many people got out and rushed towards the smoky area to rescue people, while others made phone calls.
"Ambulance! Ambulance! Three cars have collided on Airport Road! One, two, three, four, five... about five or six people!"
"Someone...someone is dead..."
buzzing...
Xing Yanzhao's phone kept ringing. Shen Zhu, who was holding the phone, glanced at it and saw that it was an unknown number. Without paying attention, he simply hung up and rushed into the room from the rain, carrying his bag.
The phone kept ringing.
The reporters set up their cameras again and, taking advantage of the chaos, rushed past the bodyguards, their microphones and cameras aimed directly at Xing Yanzhao and Kuang Ye.
Kuang Ye was on the phone giving instructions on how to handle the situation, while Xing Yanzhao was negotiating with the police. The rain outside was pouring down, and being half-soaked was already irritating. With someone pressing closer, Xing Yanzhao glared at them.
The reporter and the cameraman were both taken aback.
Shen Zhu squeezed in again, holding the phone up to Xing Yanzhao, his eyes filled with fear: "Boss, it's the hospital. Your wife was in a car accident on the way to the airport..."
boom!
Another clap of thunder sounded.
Behind him, Kuangye dropped the phone in his hand with a thud and looked at his brother in fear.
Reporter: "Chairman Xing, could you please tell me about the rumors circulating about your company driving live piles at your construction site...?"
"Get out." A suppressed roar came from Xing Yanzhao's throat. His eyes were bloodshot as he slammed the other person's camera aside and left quickly, ignoring the slander behind him.
He started running after only a couple of steps.
