Chapter 602: Socks Within Socks
Chapter 602: Socks Within Socks
The anxious Mo Jingchun searched everywhere for Zhou Yaling.
Standing on the highway, Mo Jingchun looked at the white cloth covering something beside the bus and felt his legs go weak with fear.
Even someone like him who owns a company with tens of thousands of employees would be terrified in the face of such a scene.
If what is under that white cloth is...
"Brother."
Just then, a familiar voice, fraught with sobs, came closer from afar.
Zhou Yaling, who had been sitting on the ridge of the field, seemed to see light and ran madly towards Mo Jingchun.
Seeing her brother, Zhou Yaling couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.
Large pea-sized tears kept falling.
Zhou Yaling, who had not faced any major storms since childhood, had never experienced such a catastrophe firsthand, especially with no familiar people around her, no wonder she felt so lost.
But now.
Seeing her brother so close, Zhou Yaling clung to his arm and cried loudly, ignoring any concern for her usual image.
Swallowing hard, Mo Jingchun patted Zhou Yaling on the back, relieved yet constantly comforting her.
"It’s okay, it’s okay."
Even though it was a Saturday, upon receiving the notification, Xu Pengfei and Xia Xiaomin, as Mo Jingchun’s right-hand advisers, rushed over immediately.
Seeing the boss’s cousin was safe, Xia Xiaomin and Xu Pengfei exchanged relieved glances.
Only then did the two have time to observe the accident scene.
No matter what caused the accident, they needed to provide the boss with an explanation.
Especially Xia Xiaomin was acutely aware that if this accident was manmade, given the boss’s vindictive nature, the coming days might be volatile again.
Seeing Zhou Yaling calm down, Mo Jingchun suddenly realized he left too hastily and didn’t bring White with him.
He patted Zhou Yaling on the shoulder again: "You go back to the car first. Let me handle this. I’ll take you to the hospital for a thorough checkup later to ensure there’s no concussion."
Originally heartbroken, Zhou Yaling couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard her brother mention a concussion, "You’re the one with a concussion."
But Zhou Yaling also knew that her best option now was to follow her brother’s arrangements.
Accompanied by Lone Wolf, Zhou Yaling left the scene.
"Did you see anything?"
Xia Xiaomin and Xu Pengfei, who walked over, both shook their heads.
"Boss, nothing is apparent. From what we understand, there was just one casualty in this accident."
"Some drivers said it was caused by the leading truck’s tire blowout."
"The exact situation has to await police investigation."
Mo Jingchun surveyed his surroundings and indeed noticed the truck with a blown tire by the guardrail a hundred meters away, and it was the front wheel.
"Xia, maintain communication with the authorities. I want to know the truth."
"If it’s a coincidence, so be it; if it’s a manmade disaster, ha~" Mo Jingchun’s laugh was slightly cold, bordering on sinister.
Used to seeing the boss’s usual amicable demeanor, Xia Xiaomin involuntarily swallowed at witnessing his current demeanor.
Tilting his neck, Mo Jingchun gazed once more at the bus already being lifted.
Judging by the bus’s paint, it couldn’t have been in service for more than three years.
The bus’s skeleton remained intact, yet no intact parts could be found elsewhere.
"Find Zhou Yaling’s luggage; it’s a large pink suitcase and should be easy to spot."
"There were only four passengers on the bus."
"If you find her phone, that’s great. If not, forget it."
"I’ll take her to the hospital for a check now."
"No problem, boss, I’ll handle things here," Xu Pengfei said grimly.
In the car, with her hair a mess and not having had time to wash her face, Candy stared wide-eyed, almost pressing her whole face to Zhou Yaling’s.
Candy simply couldn’t comprehend how her sister, who left clean and tidy, could turn out like this after just a nap.
Facing Candy’s expression, Zhou Yaling felt like crying and laughing.
From Candy’s tousled hair and sleepy look, it was apparent that her brother had rushed out.
It was likely Candy was dragged out of bed while still asleep.
"Sister, did you go mud playing?"
"Why would playing in the mud need someone to come and get you?"
"No, the bus overturned."
It was okay until Zhou Yaling mentioned the bus overturning; Candy’s already big eyes widened even more.
Overturned! The bus actually overturned.
She, a cute little kindergartener in the big class, wouldn’t even overturn riding a bicycle.
Just as Candy wanted to ask more, the car door opened. Mo Jingchun glanced at Zhou Yaling, whose face was no longer as pale, and then at Candy.
"Don’t bother your sister."
After closing the car door, Mo Jingchun directly told Xiaofeixia, "Go to the county hospital... no, go to the county Chinese medicine hospital."
Xiaofeixia didn’t say a word, only nodded and started the engine.
Given that the seriously injured passengers were sent to the county hospital in ambulances, it would be better to head to the county Chinese medicine hospital with presumably lesser medical conditions.
The four cars retraced their route, but unlike their earlier rush, the speed was much slower on the return trip.
In the car, Candy was fidgeting with her shoes, or to be precise, her socks.
For some reason, her socks were particularly uncomfortable today.
Unable to withstand it, Candy took off her shoes.
Under the surprised gazes of Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling, Candy pulled off her socks, revealing another pair inside.
"Phew~ no wonder it felt so uncomfortable." Candy wrinkled her nose, glancing at her brother.
Not only were the socks on the two feet different, but she also had a double-layered sock situation.
An unusually rare smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Yaling’s mouth.
The next moment, full of worry, Zhou Yaling asked, "Brother, about my stuff."
"No worries, Xu Pengfei and Xia Xiaomin are still there. I’ve already instructed them to look for your luggage."
"That’s good, that’s good."
Suddenly, Zhou Yaling realized another serious issue: "Brother, the elders at home don’t know yet, do they?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun paused momentarily, then said, "When you got into an accident, I didn’t know the situation and dared not inform Uncle and Aunt."
To put it bluntly, if Zhou Yaling had unfortunately been injured today, Mo Jingchun genuinely feared that Uncle and Aunt couldn’t handle the news and might fall ill.
"That’s good." Obviously relieved, Zhou Yaling continued, "Let’s not tell them about this then, considering I’m fine now. Knowing would only cause them unnecessary worry."
...............
Amidst the sterile smell of the county hospital, Zhou Yaling, who had undergone a plethora of tests including blood draws and CT scans, held a thick stack of reports.
Thanks to her brother’s status, otherwise obtaining all these reports so quickly wouldn’t be realistic.
At the entrance of the specialist outpatient clinic, Zhou Yaling walked in with the reports.
Before Zhou Yaling could sit down, sharp-eyed Candy was ready to snatch the seat.
Her short legs had just stepped out when she lost her footing.
Grabbing Candy’s clothing, Mo Jingchun made a gesture for her to be quiet.
