Tom’s grandfather finally took his last breath and left with a smile on his face shortly after seeing Qingbao and Mo Xiaomo.
Three days later, the memorial service was over. Mo Xiaomo wanted to take Qingbao back to City A.
The Yans knew that Mo Xiaomo and Tom were pretending to be couple, so they didn’t make Mo Xiaomo and Qingbao stay.
Tom had to deal with the follow-up affairs at home. He was going to ask the driver to drive Mo Xiaomo and Qingbao home, but Qingbao insisted on going back by himself.
“Thank you, Xiaomo… Be happy.” Tom’s words were full of deep feelings that Mo Xiaomo could not bear.
“You too.” Mo Xiaomo gave Tom a courtesy hug and got on the bus.
These days, Zhong Teng has been using his busy work to numb himself and distract him from thinking about Mo Xiaomo and Qingbao.
Zhong Teng was angry and annoyed that Mo Xiaomo hadn’t sent him a phone call or a text message for several days.
He thought Mo Xiaomo would contact him from time to time these days if he kindly wished her a pleasant journey.
The cell phone rang suddenly and hurriedly, it was a strange phone call.
Zhong Teng was ready to hang up. But then He saw that the calling was from Actually City Z. He smiled and pressed the answer button.
“Do you two miss me at last?” Zhong Teng could not help but glow.
“Mr. Zhong, this is Tom.” There was a slightly hoarse male voice on the other end of the line.
Zhong Teng was stunned, Tom? The name was strange.
Thinking of Z city, Zhong Teng suddenly realized who he was.
“What are you calling for, Mr. Yan?” Zhong Teng asked in a subdued tone.
“Is Xiaomo home yet?” Tom’s voice was worried.
Zhong Teng froze, “Isn’t she with you?”
“She took A bus with Qingbao back to City A this morning, but her phone could not be connected now. I went to the station and the station said that a bus from City Z to City A had an accident on the expressway today…”
As the conversation continued, Zhong Teng hung up and quickly dialed Mo Xiaomo’s number.
“The number you dialed is temporarily disconnected…” The mechanical voice repeated over and over again.
Zhong Teng ran to the bus station to ask about the accident. There was a bus accident on the freeway indeed, which was a serial rear-end collision.
Coming out of the station, Zhong Teng gritted his teeth and smashed his fist into the hard tree trunk. The crumpled bark seemed to give him no pain.
To be exact, the pain in the hand was less than one in ten thousand of the heart.
What did he say to Mo Xiaomo that day?
“Why do you come back? Don’t ever come back!”
He told Mo Xiaomo never to come back…
Zhong Teng’s head was in a daze. He picked up his car keys and drove straight to the expressway. Both sides of the road were blocked, along with the other three lanes.
Zhong Teng got out of the car and tried to walk there, but he was stopped by a motorway policeman.
“My wife and children are in that bus. Please let me find them…” Zhong Teng was driven mad.
Police still wouldn’t let Zhong Teng through, and ambulance after ambulance pulled out of the blocked area.
Zhong Teng looked anxiously into the ambulances’ windows but saw no familiar figure.
On the one hand, he was relieved, on the other hand, the feeling of unease was growing.
He took advantage of the traffic police to stop the others, running with his long legs straight into the inside.
“Sir! It’s dangerous inside! You can’t go in there!” The traffic police came after him.
“My family is not out of danger. I must go in!” Zhong Teng shouted, already running.
The thick smell of smoke was getting heavier and heavier. It was a sunny day, but a thick fog enveloped the whole area.
The cries became clearer and the smell of blood and gasoline in the air became heavier.
“Mo Xiaomo! Qingbao!”
Zhong Teng cried helplessly, his heart in his mouth.
