Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Call My Name (3) Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Call My Name (3) The thunder boomed incessantly, and the heavy rain arrived suddenly and fiercely.
The Ji Family’s lively afternoon gathering had guests leaving in batches, leaving behind faces shadowed with worry, looking even more dismal than the weather.
Ji Jiayi cried nonstop in her room, and the elder Mr. Ji was so angry he almost fell ill, lucky that the situation was handled quickly before it became unmanageable.
When the incident was first discovered, Ji Shaoyang had closed the door with a thunderous fury.
The initially panicked Ji Jiayi, under his roars of fury, didn’t dare offer a single excuse.
Ji Shaoyang took another look at Ji Jiaming beside him and understood without words what they were planning.
When the door opened again, he first dispersed some of the onlookers, then had someone immediately take Gu Annan to the hospital.
In this situation, they could only resort to a familiar private hospital.
When most of the people had left, he arranged for Gu Annan to be carried out.
Ji Jiayi’s original plans had completely fallen through. As the guests left, they all thought that Gu Annan had suffered an accident at the Ji Family’s residence, ending up with a bloodied head from a fall.
As Gu Annan was being lifted onto the car, Ji Shaoyang suddenly remembered and asked Lin Weiyang, who was helping, “Right, make a call to Wanwan. He’s injured , let her go to the hospital too.”
Lin Weiyang was taken aback, “Shaoyang, didn’t you know? Wanwan came by just now?”
“What?” His heart skipped a beat.
If she had come by and was now unaccounted for, it could only mean she saw something she wasn’t supposed to see.
He punched the windshield. Ji Jiayi’s intention wasn’t just to force Gu Annan using this method but also to make Lu Wanwan give up after seeing what happened.
“There might be some misunderstanding. Try to call and see where she is,” he said.
Lin Weiyang nodded and took out his phone to try.
Shortly after, he shook his head. “Her phone’s off. Wait here, I’ll ask around about what happened just now.”
As Gu Annan was placed in the car, Ji Shaoyang settled into the driver’s seat.
It wasn’t long before Lin Weiyang returned.
He glanced at Gu Annan, who had fallen unconscious after the sedative injection, “It looks like there’s been a misunderstanding. If I’m not mistaken, Wanwan ran out crying just now. Then, she left with Bai Lingyun. Brother Shaoyang, do you have Bai Lingyun’s number? Try calling him.”
Ji Shaoyang started the car, “Let’s get to the hospital first. Perhaps Lu Wanwan was taken home by Bai Lingyun. I’ll contact Aunt Lee.”
After arriving at the hospital, Aunt Lee, who had received a call and rushed over, was terrified.
“Aunt Lee, did you see Lu Wanwan when you went home?”
“Miss Lu didn’t come back,” Aunt Lee said anxiously. “I rushed back immediately after your call, and I even asked the servants at home. Miss Lu hasn’t been back during this time. However, I’ve instructed them to send her to the hospital if she returns.”
Ji Shaoyang was troubled, “I understand. Take good care of him first. I’ll keep an eye on this. Aunt Lee, I have to go back to deal with some things. If anything happens…”
“Don’t worry, Master Ji. I know what to do,” she assured him.
As Ji Shaoyang and Lin Weiyang left the hospital, Lin Weiyang had a sudden idea, “Look for Xu Yuan. It’s normal for Wanwan to be angry and not want to come back; she’s probably with Xu Yuan. But I don’t have Xu Yuan’s contact, Shan Zhixing might have it.”
“No need,” Ji Shaoyang said while picking up his phone, “Didn’t you notice that Shao Zhiheng didn’t come today? He took Xu Yuan on a business trip. They were supposed to return today, but something must have happened. He called my grandfather directly and said he wouldn’t be back.”
