CHAPTER 330: CHAPTER 330: FALLEN INTO THE SEA, LIFE OR DEATH UNKNOWN

Ningwan almost woke from a nightmare with a start.

After waking up, her back was drenched in cold sweat, she gasped for air, and her complexion was extremely pale.

Yang Rui was startled when she saw her like this: "Miss Ye, what’s wrong with you?"

Ningwan shook her head: "It’s nothing. What time is it? Has Mr. Zhan returned?"

"Not yet, it’s now 4:15 in the afternoon."

"It’s already 4:15?" Ningwan was shocked.

She had an appointment with Zhan Hanjue to meet here in the afternoon, but it was already 4:15. It was almost evening, and Zhan Hanjue had still not arrived.

"No, I have to go find him." Ningwan got up.

At this moment, Yang Rui’s phone rang.

It was a call from Chen Tan.

"Okay, I understand. I’ll bring Madam back immediately." Yang Rui replied with a troubled expression.

After hanging up, she returned to Ningwan’s side, forcing a smile: "Madam, we’ll take the helicopter back immediately. The boss is already on his way back."

"How is that possible, we agreed to meet here, how could he have gone back first?" Ningwan asked, confused.

Yang Rui said, "Something urgent came up on the boss’s side, so he had to leave via another route. He can’t join us now, so we’ll head back separately."

"No, I want to call him myself to confirm." Ningwan insisted.

Yang Rui said, "The boss cannot be contacted at the moment, Madam, don’t you trust me?"

"Yang Rui, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s..."

Before Ningwan could finish her sentence, Yang Rui chopped her on the back of her neck.

"You..."

Ningwan looked at Yang Rui in surprise but quickly fainted.

"I’m sorry, Madam."

Yang Rui caught the unconscious Ningwan and helped her onto the helicopter.

Wan Tianning hadn’t woken up either, and Yang Rui also carried him onto the helicopter.

The helicopter soon left, flying towards Jiangcheng.

Ningwan woke up and found herself at the Zhan Family’s residence.

"Madam, you’re awake." He quickly walked over.

Ningwan rubbed her throbbing neck, not expecting Yang Rui to strike so hard.

But why hit her at all?

Was it just because she didn’t believe her?

But she hadn’t said she wouldn’t go back with her.

"Where is the young master?" Ningwan asked.

He bit her lip, her eyes instantly reddening with tears.

Ningwan was startled and quickly asked, "What’s happened to the young master? Hasn’t he returned?"

He burst into tears, sobbing as she said, "Madam, the young master... something happened to the young master. Now Old Mrs. Zhan has fainted, and everything is a mess at home. Please go and take a look!"

Ningwan turned pale and struggled to get out of bed.

She hurried to Old Mrs. Zhan’s courtyard, and sure enough, she saw the servants looking worried as soon as she entered.

Old Mrs. Zhan had fainted and hadn’t woken up.

The old lady couldn’t bear the shock due to her age.

This fainting spell could be permanent.

The family doctor hadn’t arrived yet, and the servants didn’t dare to move the old lady.

Ningwan pushed through the crowd and first checked the old lady’s pulse.

Old Mrs. Zhan’s condition was not the same as when Mr. Ye had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Although it was more dangerous and had a higher mortality rate, once treated, there was a good chance of recovery.

However, Old Mrs. Zhan’s situation was different; it was a stroke induced by excessive shock. Even surgery might be useless, and she might never wake up.

Sure enough, the family doctor came and confirmed Ningwan’s diagnosis.

Now they could only administer some IV fluids to maintain Old Mrs. Zhan’s vital signs. As for when she would wake up, he couldn’t say.

"What exactly happened to Zhan Hanjue?" Ningwan called Chen Tan over and asked sternly.

Yang Rui also came, kneeling to apologize to Ningwan: "I’m sorry, Madam. I shouldn’t have hit you. But at the time, there was no other way."

Chen Tan also immediately apologized: "Madam, blame me. I ordered Yang Rui to bring you back, even if she had to use force."

"So, what exactly happened?" Ningwan asked coldly.

Chen Tan lowered his head, speaking with pain: "The boss and your mother were in a car that had an accident and went over a cliff. Now they’re missing and their fate is unknown."

Ningwan: "..."

"Then find him, no matter what, find him."

Ningwan stood up from the chair abruptly, her voice torn with urgency.

Maybe she was shouting too emotionally or maybe the news was just too much for her.

She felt dizzy and sank back into the chair.

She even felt a slight pain in her abdomen.

This feeling terrified her.

She was well aware of her current physical condition, hurriedly checked her own pulse and urgently asked He to bring her medicine bag.

She had prepared some pregnancy maintenance medicine for herself; she quickly took one, which gradually calmed her down.

Now, she dared not get too agitated.

After a while, she finally calmed her mind.

"Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?" Calm again, Ningwan asked softly.

Chen Tan and the others didn’t know she was pregnant, so seeing her act like that startled them too, thinking it was just her emotions being too intense.

Chen Tan explained everything he knew to her.

It turned out that Zhan Hanjue had taken Tang Xiaowan to find Wan Tianci.

But instead of finding Wan Tianci, they ran into Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing was a madwoman, driving a car to block Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue’s car was on the run trying to escape her pursuit.

However, due to brake failure, their car plunged forward, crashing down.

Below was the ocean.

After the car fell, both Li Qingqing and Wan Tianyi sent people down to retrieve it.

They also called the police.

But apart from the driver and a wrecked car, nothing else was retrieved; Zhan Hanjue and Tang Xiaowan were nowhere to be found.

Later, the police conducted the recovery and still found nothing even no bodies.

But after so long with no news from them, the chances of survival are very slim.

The police speculate that they were likely swept away by the sea, carried to deeper waters.

"Impossible, he can’t be dead. Ningwan didn’t believe Zhan Hanjue would die.

Chen Tan spoke with grief: "Before the accident, the boss called me, telling me to bring you back no matter what. To take good care of you, regardless of what happens to him. Madam, this is the boss’s wish; he wants you to feel assured. Now the boss’s fate is unknown, you must be strong."

"Of course, I will be strong. I also believe he won’t die. He’s definitely missing, so no matter what, I will find him." Ningwan said resolutely.

Even if not for herself, for the child she’s carrying, she couldn’t let anything happen to herself.

Chen Tan was deeply moved, not expecting Ningwan to be so resilient.

At first, he genuinely feared that upon learning of the boss’s case, Ningwan might resort to despair.

If that happened, how could he face the boss’s trust?
