The aftermath of the explosion caused the windows of all cars passing by to shatter into pieces.
Ye Xingguang had no clue what was going on. Glass shards from the vehicleâs windows sliced her neck, causing blood to bead up instantly on her skin. Her head hit something due to the inertia, causing a ringing in her ears.
Almost instinctively, she scrambled out of the car for self-rescue.
As soon as she alighted, another explosion boomed in her ears. Fire soared high into the black night, turning it into daylight, blinding her completely.
In the Yeâs Family mansion, Xiao Yun strode into the living room.
âLord Qing, an accident happened!â
Ye Junqing was lying on the living room sofa, receiving intravenous fluids. There was a pile of tissues used for a cold in the trash can next to the sofa. Normally full of vigor, he appeared listless at the moment. Without having the energy to even lift his eyelids, he simply closed his eyes and commanded, âSpeak.â
Xiao Yun spoke urgently: âThereâs been a massive explosion at the Kirala gas station, which has the cityâs largest oil reserve. Lord Tingâs motorcade happened to be refueling there when the explosion occurred. The situation is unclear at this moment.â
âWhat did you just say?â Ye Junqingâs eyes snapped open, his voice deadly quiet. âSay that again!â
Xaio Yun immediately pulled out his cell phone, showing Ye Junqing the videos uploaded by netizens: âThe fires have already spread to the houses near the gas station. It is reported that the death toll has exceeded a hundred. The fire department has dispatched numerous vehicles to the rescue. I called the captain of Lord Tingâs bodyguards, but nobody picked up. But when the explosion occurred, I was actually chatting with the captain, and he mentioned that they were refueling there. Now, Iâm canât reach himâ¦â
Xiao Yunâs words made Ye Junqingâs heart sink. In the video, fire was shooting up into the sky, causing a pile-up in the surrounding motorway. Then, his sharp eyes spotted a car.
The next second, Ye Junqing paused the video, moved the progress bar back, and replayed the video again.
After checking it twice, he recognized the car with all its windows shattered. It was the car Ye Xingguang usually rode in.
He immediately took out his phone and dialed Ye Xingguang, but no one answered.
âCall the driver who transports Little Fish Tail right now,â he commanded urgently, revealing his concern.
Xaio Yun hesitated for a second: âLord Qing, who is Little Fish Tail?â
Unconcerned that he had unintentionally blurted out his nickname for Ye Xingguang, the tall man, despite his high fever and dizziness, stood up and said, âYe Xingguang!â
â⦠Yes.â As soon as Xiao Yun contacted the driver, he immediately handed the phone to Ye Junqing.
Ye Junqing took the phone: âSpeak! How is Ye Xingguang doing now?â
âLord⦠Lord Qing⦠Miss Ye ran into the blaze.â
The driverâs words exploded like an atomic bomb in Ye Junqingâs heart.
The once formidable man roared in fury, âWhat did you say? Why did she run into the blaze?!â
âThere was an explosion at the nearby gas station while I was driving Miss Ye home, and we were impacted by the residual force of the explosion. Miss Ye got out of the car and started doing live reporting with her phone. Hearing that Lord Tingâs motorcade was at the gas station at the time, Miss Ye dashed into the gas station engulfed by towering flameâ¦â
Before the driver could finish speaking, Ye Junqingâs vision turned black for a moment. Then, he abruptly removed the IV needle, swiftly got up, and began to stride towards the door. His voice wasnât shaky, rather it was eerily calm, âQuickly, prepare the car! No, prepare the plane!â
