Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Who is on her bed?
Song Song and Wen Ziyue looked over simultaneously, only to see Di Wujiang and Xing Quan, who had just left not long ago, appear at the door—
Wen Ziyue asked in confusion, "You’re back so quickly, it shouldn’t be, right?"
"Hmm."
Di Wujiang responded indifferently and then walked into the room, "No, that floating corpse probably fell into the water dam a few days ago; its degree of decay is already significant, so it’s impossible it would be President Xiao."
Upon seeing the two of them, Song Song was so nervous that even her breathing became strained. Only when she heard Di Wujiang say it wasn’t him, did she gradually calm down.
"...That means he’s still safe, right?"
Song Song asked tentatively.
Xing Quan and Di Wujiang exchanged a glance, neither of them offering a direct affirmation because if he were safe, he should have returned already...
On their way back, they speculated that repairing the dam might have succeeded, but perhaps at the last moment he couldn’t withstand the force of the water and was swept away, which is why he hasn’t been seen.
But such a possibility, they couldn’t say in front of Song Song.
At this moment, Song Song couldn’t act carefree anymore; she was under the dual pressure of anxiety and sensitivity.
Seeing their peculiar expressions, she asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"No!"
Xing Quan quickly responded, "Madam, don’t overthink. I believe President Xiao is on his way back; you have to trust him."
Originally, Song Song had a lot of faith in him, believing he would return safely, so when he said he wanted to go alone, she didn’t stop him...
But now, she felt foolish for trusting him!
Suddenly, she got off the bed determinedly and said sternly, "Mr. Di, Special Assistant Xing, can you accompany me to check the dam again?"
"Maybe there are overlooked areas, he might be injured and unconscious, unable to come back by himself!"
Wen Ziyue completely understood Song Song’s feelings, "Yes, it’s better to search again, all four of us together."
In truth, Di Wujiang and Xing Quan were both aware that this possibility was unlikely, but not wanting to upset her further, they agreed.
Song Song realized the likelihood of something happening to him only when she reached the dam; standing at the edge, she could feel the wild winds as if they could blow her into the surging waves...
How did he ever say he could handle this alone in such dangerous conditions?
Utter madness!
Xing Quan approached, "Madam, President Xiao is particularly good at swimming, so please rest assured."
"...Assistant Xing, are you treating me like a three-year-old child to fool?"
"If I hadn’t come here, I might believe you, but in such vile and dangerous conditions, how can you make me trust that he can emerge unscathed?"
"Madam—"
The sentence shut Xing Quan’s mouth completely, leaving him unable to say anything comforting to her.
Song Song wiped away her tears and decided, "Call the police then, let them send a search team, it’s faster than us looking for a needle in a haystack."
"...Alright."
Back at the small house, Song Song seemed to have lost her spirit, her mind constantly imagining the scene of the dam’s waves sweeping him away—
Time after time, each making her shiver with pain.
Fettered by her emotions, coupled with not having had a drop to drink, she finally succumbed to weakness and fell into a deep sleep.
Wen Ziyue observed her sleeping soundly, unlikely to awaken soon, so he tiptoed out the door.
...
Song Song didn’t know how long she slept, perhaps for a few hours.
When she opened her groggy eyes on the bed, she felt a force encircling her waist.
Who, who is on her bed?
