Chapter 762: Are There Any Dead

Yaen Chi was so panicked he couldn’t even hold his cigarette steady.

As he reached for his cell phone, the cigarette fell from his mouth, scalding his fingers, but he didn’t stop until he saw the photo.

His face suddenly became serious.

The vast private room was as quiet as death.

Even the light sound of a chair leg scraping the floor seemed shockingly abrupt.

“Jiaojiao?”

Ye Wanting called out, wanting to chase after Nan Jiaojiao.

Yaen Chi pulled her back, “Stay here, I’ll go.”

Before he had finished speaking, he was already chasing after Nan Jiaojiao.

However, he didn’t know how fast that girl’s legs were.

Yaen Chi even started running but still couldn’t catch up to her.

When he reached the elevator, not only was her figure gone, but the display had already dropped to the fifth floor.

He hurriedly pressed for two elevators.

Even one would be good.

Once Nan Jiaojiao was outside, a single thought echoed in her mind.

Dusk Street.

She needed to go to Dusk Street.

He was there.

Bo Yanching was there.

She called Bo Yanching over and over.

At first, no one answered, letting the ringtone sound until the end.

Later, it rang twice before a prolonged beep followed.

The signal was being jammed.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t hail a taxi but stopped a delivery boy who was just about to start his scooter, stuffing all the money in her pocket into his hand, asking him to take her part of the way.

The traffic ahead was horrendously jammed.

Nan Jiaojiao sat stiffly on the back seat of the electric scooter when suddenly, a sharp brake caused her to lean forward, bracing herself with her fingers against the delivery boy’s back.

“I really can’t go any further, it’s too jammed.

If I go in, it’ll be hard to turn back.

Also, there are police lines up ahead, I can’t get through, and I still have deliveries to make.

Maybe…

I can refund you half your money.”

“No need.”

Nan Jiaojiao jumped off the scooter, not even having time to thank him.

With 700 meters left, she ran.

She called Yaen Chi on the way, “Brother Chi, do me a favor.

I need to get inside the police line.

Please help me out.”

“I’m right behind you.

Why are you running so fast?

What do you need inside the police line for?

It’s dangerous…”

“Please.” Nan Jiaojiao forced a rational tone, her voice nearly cracking with the cold wind.

Yaen Chi was stunned, this was the first time Nan Jiaojiao had begged him.

She was begging him for Bo Yanching.

He felt truly worthless.

Yaen Chi wiped his face, about to agree with her when Nan Jiaojiao had already hung up the phone.

She couldn’t wait for Yaen Chi’s response.

But she trusted in Yaen Chi’s ability to get things done.

At least, when crossing the police line, nobody stopped her.

Nan Jiaojiao searched car by car, not even sparing those that looked similar, checking license plates and even knocking on windows.

Seeing it wasn’t Bo Yanching, she turned and left.

The deeper she went, closer to the explosion center, the police quickly noticed her.

Everyone else was running out, yet she recklessly charged in.

They couldn’t let her go further and quickly stopped her.

“I…”

Before she could finish, a stern officer interrupted, “Are you out of your mind!

There’s been an explosion up ahead, the bomb squad is on it.

It’s a danger zone, no entry!”

Nan Jiaojiao stepped back.

It wasn’t that she was retreating.

But rather, stepping back into a zone the officer felt was safe.

Her eyes still fiercely fixed on the direction of the blazing flames.

Biting her lip, she didn’t know from where she mustered the strength, her body was tense, but her face was dreadfully pale, the lips underneath her Teeth trembling slightly.

“Please…”

She almost couldn’t find her voice, “Are there any casualties?”
