During Su Wan’s tearful recounting, Song Junhan learned that as they passed through the tunnel, a car had 【lost control】 and crashed into his.
Because the tunnel was sealed off promptly, no subsequent vehicles were affected, but his car and the large truck following closely behind him were involved in a rather catastrophic accident.
He fell unconscious on the spot, suffering a comminuted fracture of his patella.
The driver of the large truck behind him died instantly, its entire cargo compartment caved in. The two accompanying movers, one stout and one thin, also perished, their cargo scattered across the road.
It was said that 【bullet holes】 were suspected at the scene, but no bullet casings or similar items were found. It was ultimately suspected that the perforations in the vehicle bodies were caused by the accident itself.
It was truly fortunate that Song Junhan managed to keep his life. At the time, half of his car was flattened, and his legs were pinned. If not for Su Wan’s desperate pleas, coupled with Song Junhan’s clear vital signs and no immediate life-threatening condition, the rescue team had almost proceeded with an immediate amputation to save him.
Upon hearing this, Song Junhan was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat.
Su Wan, unaware of the full story, likely viewed it as a simple car accident. However, he, knowing the complete sequence of events, realized this was likely a staged car accident orchestrated by someone aiming to hijack the cargo.
The mere thought of nearly losing his life and his legs made Song Junhan tremble uncontrollably.
How could this happen!
At that moment, the hospital room door was knocked open, and two public officials, holding identification, entered. Relieved to see Song Junhan awake, they presented two blood-stained identification cards and asked, "Do you recognize these two individuals?"
Upon seeing the IDs, Song Junhan realized they were the fake documents he had made for the stout and thin men.
His heart leaped into his throat, and Song Junhan trembled uncontrollably.
It felt as if a single wrong answer would send him back to that terrifying prison.
His eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot from shock.
Meanwhile, the fear of almost losing their daughter again thoroughly enraged Dr. Li and his wife.
They abandoned their secrecy and demanded a thorough investigation into the past case, seeking to clear their names and ensure the true culprit who cruelly murdered their eldest daughter was brought to justice.
Consequently, various parties gave the matter high priority. The complete failure of the mission, along with the chain of traffic accidents in two cities on the same day, caused the usually cautious and discreet secret organization to once again retract its claws.
Rather than meticulously hiding, it was better to push the Li family entirely into the spotlight, positioning them in the most brilliant glare of the public eye, making them untouchable to those lurking in the shadows.
With the success of their new energy venture as their foundation and Mr. Gu’s protection, everything began to proceed smoothly.
Freya, who had orchestrated the entire kidnapping, applied for emergency asylum from the organization, intending to leave country Z first. However, she was apprehended by law enforcement officials at the airport and subsequently lost all contact with the organization.
Although they were confident Freya would not speak carelessly, the successive blows and severe setbacks still drew the attention of the organization’s internal leadership.
“This matter is related to that Mobius again, isn’t it!” A man in a light-colored suit slammed his fist on the computer desk: “It seems he’s cracked our new secret code again! Damn it!”
“The entire kidnapping incident was extremely covert. Besides Mobius, I can’t think of anyone else,” someone said coldly in a multi-person encrypted video conference window on the computer screen. “I’ve said it before, this person must die.”
“Don’t speak as if we don’t want to eliminate this dangerous individual sooner. He’s simply too cunning, leaving no trace.”
“Perhaps you’ve forgotten about Xia Qingtian,” the woman in the top-left video window tapped her desk. “Don’t we already have direct evidence linking her to Mobius? Why not kill one to warn a hundred.”
“Mobius’s whereabouts are always erratic. Now that we have someone who can be confirmed to be linked to Mobius, it’s precisely at this time that we absolutely cannot kill her. Before the boss returns to country Z, this tumor called Mobius must be removed. That Xia Qingtian is a key figure!”
“Xia Qingtian must die!” the woman in the top-left video window stated gravely. “She not only monopolized Gu’s Entertainment, but the Lei family also interfered in this kidnapping. If she isn’t dealt with, she will become the next Mobius!”
She paused, then corrected in a deep voice, “No! She might be even more terrifying than Mobius…”
“Let’s put aside Xia Qingtian’s matter for now. She’s merely a clown at present. As long as we exert pressure on the Gu family and withdraw cooperation, Gu Yaoyang alone is not a threat. We’ve also embedded new informants within the Lei family. Dr. Li and his wife’s situation is more important now. All departments are reinvestigating the past; this informant must not be discovered!” Someone interjected, successfully shifting the topic.
“Also, regarding the kidnapping, is it still necessary to proceed? If so, who will execute it?”
“Now that Dr. Li and his wife have brought the past to light, kidnapping Li Xiaoxiao again is meaningless. Any additional actions will only increase the risk of the informant being discovered. It’s better to gather all personnel and transfer them to the capital. The Yue family, the Yu family, and that troublesome Wen Jiu – it’s best to deal with them all at once this time!”
“Yes.” No one objected; everyone seemed to agree that the matters in the capital were more important.
“No matter what, we must obtain that mine!” The man in the light-colored suit sitting at the computer said in a deep voice. “On April 2nd, the Yue family patriarch’s birthday, I will personally bring people. If everything goes smoothly, then all will be well. If not…”
His eyes were cold as he said sternly, “Then I will turn the Yue family’s birthday banquet into a funeral!”
The meeting continued. The woman in the top-left video window wore a grim expression. This time, they still hadn’t killed Xia Qingtian…
Damn it.
Although Li Xiaoxiao was recovered, she was admitted to Z City’s First Hospital due to abrasions.
During Li Xiaoxiao’s hospitalization, Dr. Li’s identity was officially revealed. The story of their beloved daughter being kidnapped and killed, and the couple being framed and forced to flee the country, was unearthed, shocking the entire scientific research community. Following this, Gu’s Entertainment’s production, “Top Intern,” aired its first episode. Dr. Li’s daughter’s participation propelled the new workplace variety show’s popularity to its peak, leading to related topics dominating the trending searches for several consecutive days.
“Gold Medal Intern,” produced by Wanqing Entertainment and specifically aired before “Top Intern,” had all its popularity snatched away.
This enraged Yu Linwan so much that she smashed things in her office again and issued a strict ultimatum to the publicity department: if the popularity of “Gold Medal Intern” wasn’t restored and trending within a week, the entire publicity department would be laid off.
This made the employees at Wanqing Entertainment tremble with fear, and the company atmosphere became increasingly oppressive.
