Huo Ci’s face turned pale, and his body stiffened. He started trembling uncontrollably before he regained his senses.
The makeup artist was also shocked. Upon seeing the man’s bloodshot eyes, she asked worriedly, “Teacher Huo, are you unwell?”
Huo Ci took the phone and looked at the flight number Mei Xuelin had sent him. For a moment, he felt as though he had fallen into an ice cave. He could not help but tremble. His eyes reddened as he tried his best to calm down. However, his voice was still trembling uncontrollably. “Tell the director that I can’t film the upcoming show.”
When the crowd heard the commotion, they ran over hurriedly, especially Zuo Ming. Upon seeing the stiffly trembling man, who was trying his best to remain calm, his soul seemingly lost, he hurriedly sent everyone away. “Teacher Huo is not feeling well. Filming is temporarily suspended. Please leave for a while.”
What was going on?
He had been working with the Sixth Master for 20 years, but he had never seen him lose his composure like this. He could not even control his emotions.
When everyone left, as soon as he closed the door, he saw his whole body tremble and his phone drop to the ground again.
His handsome face was pale as he bent down to pick up his phone. He dropped it a few times before picking it up. In the end, he looked up at him and said in a broken voice, “Zuo Ming, help me confirm this again.”
Zuo Ming picked up his phone and saw the photo Mei Xuelin had sent him. It was Sheng Sheng’s flight number. His heart skipped a beat, as he vaguely guessed that something was wrong.
There had been a commotion outside just now. A flight from Beijing to City C had crashed. Could this be Miss Sheng Sheng’s flight?
A moment later, Zuo Ming looked at the man, who was still squatting on the ground and barely getting a grip. Seeing that he was about to break down, he said in a low voice, “Sixth Master, don’t be anxious. No one is sure that Ms. Sheng Sheng got on this flight. Perhaps she booked another one. Let’s check first.”
“Call her! Call her!” Huo Ci lowered his voice. He did not dare call her, not even now.
Zuo Ming hurriedly found her number and dialed it. A moment later, his face turned pale as he said, “I can’t get through.”
He did not dare say anything else to comfort him. If the plane had crashed, the chances of survival would be very small. He looked at the man in front of him, who was on the verge of losing control. Even though he said that he did not like Miss Sheng Sheng normally, they were still father and daughter.
Huo Ci’s last bit of calmness disappeared completely. As though he had lost his strength, he sat down on the ground in disappointment. His voice was low and hoarse and it was trembling badly. “Give me your phone.”
What were his parents doing? Had they seen the news?
It was time for them to fetch Xiaoqi. According to the flight details, if there was no delay, the brat should be at the airport now.
His parents would definitely call her. If they could not get through, or if they received a call from the rescue team…
He did not dare think further. The plane was the safest mode of transportation at the moment, but once an accident happened, the chances of survival were almost zero!
Huo Ci was the first to call Lu Yubai. He practically bellowed, “Go to my house now! Immediately! Don’t watch television! Don’t let my father and the others use their phones! Hurry!”
Lu Yubai was drawing a design draft when he received the call. He was shocked. “Can I use the laptop? What about a tablet?”
“You can’t use anything. You’re not allowed to look at any electronic devices!” Huo Ci bellowed, his eyes red. “Hurry up. I’m afraid there’s not enough time. Go to Xiaoqi’s kindergarten now.”
