Chapter 448: Heavy Farewell
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sang Qianqian stood in the hospital corridor, gripping her phone tightly in a daze.
People came and went. Someone bumped into her and turned around angrily to ask her not to block the way. Only then did she snap back to reality.
Hurriedly returning to the ward, Shen Hanyu had arranged for Jian Zheng and the medical staff to carry Sang Minglang into the mobile ward.
On the hospital’s roof, a helicopter was waiting for them.
These medical staff would be escorting Sang Minglang back to Ming City.
“Qianqian.”
Shen Hanyu turned around and looked at her pale face. His heart sank. “What did the doctor say?”
Just now, Sang Qianqian had said that she wanted to follow up with the attending physician to ask about the things to take note of. Now that she had returned in such a state, Shen Hanyu thought that it had something to do with Sang Minglang’s condition.
She spoke with some difficulty, “My brother might not be suitable for flight travel right now.”
Shen Hanyu frowned slightly. “But yesterday, the doctor said that he would be fine.”
“Yes, but injuries can change. The doctor said that my brother’s condition wasn’t too good last night. To be safe, we should wait until his condition stabilizes.” contemporary romance
Sang Qianqian lowered her head, almost afraid to look into his eyes. “Hanyu, I’m afraid I can’t go back with you.”
Shen Hanyu did not suspect anything. “Then let’s wait a few more days.”
“No, 1 can’t. You have to leave today.”
Sang Qianqian immediately objected, her attitude firm. “The plane has already arrived, and Guo Muyang is waiting for you.”
Shen Hanyu looked at her quietly with his dark eyes.
“The rescue mission over there isn’t a trivial matter. If they manage to find Father-in-law’s whereabouts, it wouldn’t be appropriate for you to be here.”
Her heart tightened under his gaze, and she subconsciously softened her tone. “I’ll stay behind to accompany my brother for a few days. Hanyu, you go first. 1’11 come back with my brother in a few days.”
Shen Hanyu was about to speak when Guo Muyang suddenly called, saying,
“Hanyu! Someone found Uncle Shen’s phone on the beach, more than 200 nautical miles away from where he fell.”
Guo Muyang said excitedly, “The phone must have been sent to the shore by the tide. Hanyu, we can still expand the search and rescue area. Uncle Shen might still have hope!”
The phones that fell into the sea were sent back to the shore by the waves. The victims who fell into the water might also have this same opportunity.
Before Shen Hanyu could say anything, Guo Muyang continued, “We’ll decide on the specific rescue plan when you come back in the afternoon. I’ll get someone to fix this phone first. Maybe it can still be used!”
Sang Qianqian was very close to him, so she heard almost everything Guo Muyang said.
The two of them looked at each other. She held his arm and said, “Go, Hanyu. 1’11 send you off. Don’t let Guo Muyang and Father-in-law wait for too long.”
Shen Hanyu glanced at Sang Minglang, who was lying on the bed. “The doctor said that it would take a few days for him to stabilize.”
“It won’t be too long. The shortest will be two or three days, and the longest will be four or five days.”
She continued, “As long as my brother’s condition allows it, I’ll go there as soon as possible.”
Shen Hanyu didn’t say anything, but he knew very well that Sang Qianqian wouldn’t be able to abandon Sang Minglang and follow him back to Ming City.
Moreover, the plane was already in position on the hospital’s roof.
Shen Hanyu boarded the plane and looked out the window.
Sang Qianqian stood not far away. The wind created by the propeller blew her hair and skirt into the air.
As the plane spiraled into the sky, she ran a few steps forward with red eyes and kept waving her arms at him.
The plane rose higher and higher, and her figure gradually disappeared.
It was as if something had been left behind by his side. Shen Hanyu felt his heart become empty and depressed.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t parted ways with her before, but this time, the feeling of parting was especially heavy.

Sang Qianqian watched the plane fly away, wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and hurried downstairs.
She went to the ward to settle things with her good brother, and then picked up her phone to send a few messages. After a while, she got up and went out.
Jian Zheng was waiting for her outside the door. “Where is Madam going? I’ll send you off.”
“Alright.” Sang Qianqian nodded.
Although Shen Hanyu had left early, Jian Zheng had stayed behind to take care of her. Even if she refused, Jian Zheng would not agree.
The place she was going to was a cafe.
Insidem Ruan Xiaoshuang was anxiously waiting for her at the door. When she saw Sang Qianqian’s car, she quickly came over.
Jian Zheng wanted to follow her in, but Sang Qianqian stopped him. “I have something to talk to Sister Xiaoshuang about. Wait for me outside.”
Jian Zheng looked around. “Alright.”
The cafe wasn’t big. It faced the street and only had one entrance.
It was the morning, and other than the two shop assistants, there were basically no customers.
Standing at the door, he could see everything inside through the glass, so he did not have to worry about any danger.
Sang Qianqian followed Ruan Xiaoshuang into the cafe’s private room.
Although it was called a private room, it was actually just a small space separated by a screen.
Xie Shi’an was sitting in the innermost corner.
His handsome face was haggard, his eyes were dark, and he had a blister at the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that these two days hadn’t gone well for him.
On the day Ruan Xiaodie went abroad, Xie Shi’an chased after her without stopping, but he couldn’t find her.
She was bold enough to do those shameful things, and she wasn’t afraid of anything. She took the private flight he arranged in advance and left the country. Her destination was the city where she had lived in Europe for many years.
She did get off the plane, but at the airport, she shook off his men and disappeared without a trace.
Xie Shi’an had been looking for her for two days, but he couldn’t find any news of her. He was afraid that something would happen in the country, so he flew back to Beijing overnight.
He had only reached home in the middle of the night and had just slept for two hours when he received a call from Ruan Xiaoshuang, asking him to rush to this cafe to wait for Sang Qianqian. She said that she had news from Ruan Xiaodie.
“She contacted you? What did she say?”
Xie Shi’an looked at Sang Qianqian with a slightly evasive gaze, still not daring to look her in the eye.
Sang Qianqian immediately pulled out the message on her phone. “Look at it yourself.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang and Xie Shi’an both stared at the screen, and their expressions changed almost at the same time.
“President Shen… Does he know?” Ruan Xiaoshuang said in a trembling voice.
Sang Qianqian shook her head sadly.
Ruan Xiaodie had sent a photo of Shen Shaofeng. In the photo, he was sitting on the ground in a sorry state, glaring at the camera. His prosthetic legs had disappeared. Moreover, his clothes were torn and his face was pale, but it was difficult to hide his anger.
There was also a message sent along with the photo.
[Go and see Brother Shi’an. I’ll contact you again in half an hour. P.S. If you return to Ming City, Shen Shaofeng will die. If you tell Shen Hanyu about this, hehe, Shen Shaofeng will also die.]
Even Guo Muyang and Shen Hanyu did not notice anything unusual about Shen Shaofeng’s accident. They both thought it was an accident.
How did Shen Shaofeng end up in Ruan Xiaodie’s hands?
Sang Qianqian didn’t know if the photo was real or fake, and she didn’t know how trustworthy Ruan Xiaodie’s words were, but she didn’t dare to take the risk.
If Shen Shaofeng really died, she would let Shen Hanyu down for the rest of her life. She couldn’t bear that responsibility.
“Is she crazy?”
Xie Shi’an gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table, causing the coffee cup to jump. “Just what does she want?”
“You’ll know later.”
Sang Qianqian looked at the time and said lightly, “In another ten minutes, she will probably send another message..”
