Chapter 382: 249 Hexi Huo Family, Swift and Decisive (2 updates)_2

The suitcase had distinctive stickers, making it instantly recognizable.

There was no need to take out the suitcase if there was no plan to leave.

"Thank you."

"Uncle Wu, don’t worry. Thankfully, it’s winter, and she wore thick clothes, no external injuries, no issues with the bones, just the impact might have caused a temporary unconsciousness. She should be fine. If you’re concerned, we could take her to the hospital for a thorough check-up."

"Just wait for her to wake up. Don’t worry too much," Zhou Zhongqing patted his shoulder.

He absentmindedly recalled the suitcase at the entrance of his house. Was Jiang Shuyan leaving?

As everyone was panicking, the man in black standing next to the old lady felt his phone vibrate. He hadn’t spoken yet when a breathy voice came from the other end of the line.

"It’s a good thing nothing serious happened. If there were any complications, how would I explain it to Old Tang?" The old lady returned home still frightened. "It was a close call. How did she just roll down like that?" noveldrama

Then, he lifted her horizontally in his arms.

He reached out, carefully and attentively removed a piece of dry grass from her neck, adjusted her disheveled clothes slightly, and casually brushed her forehead hair behind her ear.

The wisps of smoke curled around his fingertips, the rising smoke forming a veil that obscured his face, but his eyes seemed all the more gloomy and mysterious.

When Jiang Jinsang reached the base of the mountain with Tang Wan, everyone had already gathered there, and the Huo Family’s private doctor had arrived.

Upon arriving here, after checking the dashcam, nothing was found.

"You’re welcome."

Jiang Chengsi had an emergency and didn’t wait for her to finish speaking, taking his laptop and quickly driving away.

"He’s already informed. The person is unconscious, the clothes are torn; unknown if there are any injuries on the body."

There were creepers and weeds around, yellow and withered. Tang Wan was wearing black; in the long-uncleared wilderness, the weeds reached nearly half a person’s height. Rolling into them, if one didn’t look closely, it could easily be missed.

"Which person, what person, Wanwan might just have sprained her leg, or gotten lost," the old lady said, standing by and frowning. The thought of a stranger entering the mountain with ill intentions was too horrifying to consider; she prayed in her heart that Wanwan had simply lost her way. Correct content is on

Jiang Jinsang didn’t even know how he managed to walk over. He reached out, touched her face, his fingertips cold, feeling her faint breathing, which eased him slightly.

A group of people were hurriedly preparing to go to the hospital, but it was Jiang Jinsang who took Tang Wan in the end. The rest returned home. If all the Jiang Family members gathered at the hospital, even if Tang Wan had no serious issues, there would likely be unnecessary rumors; moreover, with elderly and children around, more people would just create chaos.

"The luggage that was here earlier. Isn’t she going abroad?"

At the Jiang Family’s side, Jiang Chengsi accompanied Jiang Jinsang to the hospital, while the rest waited for news at home, all shaken.

Her lips were very pale, pressed into a straight line, and her cold, pale skin in the wildness of the mountains emitted a chilling aura.

Up in the mountains at that moment,

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jiang Jinsang did not want to alarm too many people. He only notified Zhou Zhongqing in advance to arrange a checkup since Tang Wan had rolled down from the mountain and was covered in dry grass and seeds, which startled Zhou Zhongqing.

"I owe you one," Jiang Jinsang said to the man beside him.

Jiang Jinsang had received the message and had gone to the location sent to him. The first sight of Tang Wan made his heart feel as if it had been struck hard, a dull pain throbbing.

The initial checkup showed no serious issues, and she underwent a few more tests.

"Notify Uncle Wu."

"But that would require the person to be very familiar with the area..."

"We’ve found them, we’ve found them..." muttered the old lady, her tense nerves finally relaxing, holding onto Fan Mingyu’s hand, trembling. It took her a few seconds to suddenly snap back to reality, turning to the person next to her, "Xiaohuo, is she alright?"

"Sir!" Jiang Jiu looked worried. Jiang Jinsang’s health wasn’t good, and the mountain path was difficult. Having exerted much energy in the search, now carrying Tang Wan might risk a fall down the mountain, a consequence he couldn’t bear.

"Your dad’s..."

"Don’t mention it. I’m going to head home. Contact me if you need anything."

The Huo Family’s private doctor was highly capable. Once Jiang Jinsang carried Tang Wan into the car, he conducted a brief examination.

"Sir, we’ve found the person!"

When he arrived home, Jiang Zhaolin and his wife were there. Seeing him return, they couldn’t help but sneer, "You still remember what day it is today, and you know to come back!"

"If someone did go into the mountains, they might not have taken the main path; if they took a side path, they wouldn’t be seen," Jiang Cuo sighed. The longer they couldn’t find the person, the more anxious everyone became.

"Just a few minutes ago..."

"Sir..." Jiang Jiu said softly, "we should hurry and take Miss Tang down the mountain."

...

"She may have fallen from above, we’ve checked a bit; no bones are broken or any other injuries. It seems she might have been knocked unconscious from rolling down. We found her phone not far from here." The Huo Family handled things decisively.

"Where’s Jiang Shuyan?"

"Shuyan? She went to the airport to pick up your brother," Mrs. Jiang said suspiciously, wondering why he was looking for her as soon as he got back.

"What luggage?"

"If she’s at the airport, where’s the luggage?"

Jiang Chengsi clenched his jaws and muttered a swear word, "That damn girl—how long has she been gone?"

"Unconscious, we still don’t know the full situation." The man made another call, given that this area was remote, the Huo Family’s private doctor would likely arrive faster.

Jiang Chengsi did not stay in the ward. Today was already not a good day for him, compounded by this incident, and he felt a mounting pressure. He left the ward, went to the supermarket outside, bought a pack of cigarettes, and found a secluded spot to smoke one.

"Understood."

He hung up the phone and turned to the old lady and Fan Mingyu, "We’ve found the person."

Jiangjiang sat in the car, only able to lean on the window and look out.

He muttered a curse under his breath, tossed the cigarette, stomped it out, and wondered if...

As he spoke, he was about to lend a hand but before his fingers could touch her, Jiang Jinsang raised his hand to stop him.

"She might have been distracted by her phone call and not watched her step." The mountainous area was overgrown with wild grass, some parts were hollow yet concealed by the vegetation. Indeed, it was easy for accidents to occur if one stepped wrongly.

Earlier, everyone was so focused on looking for Tang Wan that he didn’t think about anything else. Now that he thought about it...

"I..." Jiang Shuyan had initially gone abroad to avoid attention due to Tang Wan’s situation, and had returned under the pretext of Jiang Jinsang’s engagement party. But now that things had become so tense, she would definitely not be invited to the engagement, and leaving seemed to be the normal course of action.

He was always eccentric and wild in his actions. With a suspicion in his mind, he was going to solve it. He had driven to the hospital, and the car keys were still with him. He immediately got into the car and headed straight home!

"I can handle it."

"As long as everyone is safe, that’s what matters."

His third brother was supposed to return today, and it was also his older brother’s anniversary. Why was she packing?

Even if Jiang Shuyan was afraid of him, she seemed overly nervous today.

...

It had been a long while since he last smoked, and his first puff was too quick, causing him to choke.

The Huo Family moved quickly and efficiently, never wasting a moment.

"What car did she take?"

"Why would she go abroad?" Mrs. Jiang was clueless!

Jiang Chengsi turned and got into his car. By the time Jiang Zhaolin and his wife ran out, the car had already vanished without a trace.
