Eleven was stunned.
After shouting those words, she froze in place.
Hearing the noise from the other end of the line for a few short seconds, it took her a while to come back to herself. Then she was silent for a few more seconds before she manifestly asked, "Gu Liancheng...?"
There was no sound.
After the echoing sound, there was dead silence. Inside her cell phone, even the sound of liquid dripping could be heard.
Heās had a car accident!!
"Hello? Gu Liancheng??" Eleven immediately grabbed her bag, put on her shoes, and ran out the door, "Gu Liancheng, donāt scare me! Are you still alive? Make a sound! Gu Liancheng!"
How could this happen!
Eleven dared not hang up the phone and anxiously pressed the elevator button several times, thinking it could speed up the process.
Once outside the residential area, she hurriedly flagged down a Taxi.
"Where to, beautiful girl?"
"I donāt know!!" Eleven shouted anxiously, then said, "To Liancheng Group! The route he usually takes!"
He said he had to go back to the office to handle some affairs.
Gu Liancheng said he had been busy in her home since the afternoon, and now his work was piling up, so he had to go back and handle it. Eleven was apologetic about this. She didnāt know he would abandon his companyās affairs and insist on renovating her home in an OCD fit.
"Hurry up, driver!" Eleven, sitting in the back, kept urging, "I beg you, driver, hurry up. If you break the law, Iāll pay for it. Itās a matter of life and death!""
After speaking to the driver, Eleven yelled into the phone a few more times: "Gu Liancheng? Gu Liancheng, at least make a sound! Please, talk!"
There was no sound at all from the other end!
God...
Eleven covered her forehead with her hand, so anxious she was on the verge of tears.
If she hadnāt been on the phone with him, he wouldnāt have...
Oh God... please!
If anything happened to him, was she supposed to live with guilt for the rest of her life?
Given the repeated mentions of Liancheng Group and Gu Liancheng, the driver, curious, asked, "Are you talking about Gu Liancheng, the president of Liancheng Group? Has something happened to him?"
"Stop asking, driver, I beg you to drive faster. Iāll pay you double, okay?"
There was no sound at all from Gu Lianchengās side. Eleven couldnāt waste any more time. She hung up the phone and called an ambulance: "I donāt know his exact location... let me think... he started from Zhongyang Road, heading to the Liancheng Group, about ten minutes, usually, he should be on... Second Ring Road! You guys set off now! Nearby pedestrians who see the scene will definitely tell you the exact location, please hurry!"
Despite her fear, she dealt with the situation in an orderly fashion, knowing what to do.
She called Su Bai.
"Oh, madam! Why are you calling at this timeāā"
"Big White! Get to the hospital quickly, Gu Liancheng had a car accident! Heāll be arriving there soon, hurry up, itās a matter of life and death!"
"...What??" Su Bai was also shocked, then suddenly reacted and ran outside, "Yes! Yes, Iām going right now!"
"You know, this matter must be kept confidential!"
She had been with Gu Liancheng for four years and knew some of his habits. Over time, she also learned some of his ways of dealing with situations. She knew that keeping the news confidential was what he considered the second most important thing.
"I understand, Madam!"
The driver, hearing that this involved a life, drove the car as fast as he could. In five minutes, they arrived at the scene of the accident. When Eleven saw the horrific scene up ahead at the intersection, her heart clenched.
The front of a truck was deformed, crashed into a flower bed divider, and Gu Lianchengās Maserati had flipped over, smoking.
