Chapter 109
Chapter 109
The butler, Chai Hua, had a room saved as the command room for the rescue operation. There were a number of handphones placed on top of the table to receive any updates from any party.
Nan Zhengde was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed to get some rest.
Their grandfather did not have a good night’s sleep and had blood-shot eyes as a result of that.
Ever since the position of the CEO was passed to Nan Chen, there was nothing for him to worry about and it had been long since he felt such anxiety.
Right next to grandfather was Young Master Nan Xing who just fell asleep, anticipating phone calls last night.
The phone rang again and grandfather opened his eyes and looked at Chai Hua.
Meanwhile, Nan Xing also got up almost instantly and stared at the person who picked up the phone call.
After Chai Hua answered the call, his face turned pale.
“What’s the situation now! Don’t keep it to yourself, quick share!” Nan Xing was anxious.
“After Young Master Nan Chen flew the helicopter cross the border, the helicopter has been out of contact with the outside world. There is no way to locate their live location either. Last morning at 3am, there were two incidents of firing in M nation. The border situation is currently in a state of emergency and all the exits along the border have been sealed.
“What? Does that mean that my brother will not be able to come back?” Nan Xing exclaimed.
“We have already communicated with the immigration personnel so once they see Young Master Nan Chen and their team, they will let him get through the checkpoints. However, there seemed to be no sight of them.” Chai Hua said.
“Something is wrong, they are in trouble! Grandfather, we have to send out planes to start the rescue operation. M nation is covered with primitive forests; they will not be able to return once something happens to the helicopter.” Nan Xing said.
“That is out of the country, our rescue team must get their approval before we can carry out any rescue operations in their territories. It should be even harder to do so given that the area is in a state of emergency right now.” Grandfather said as he frowned.
“What shall we do, I cannot just sit here and not care about my brother and his people.” Nan Xing said.
“What are you worried about? I am trying to figure out a way now. Chai Hua, help me contact Chief Ye in Y province, get him to arrange for a call with me once it is convenient for him.” Grandfather said.
“Yes.”
Nan Xing was so anxious that he started pacing up and down the room, with his palms together as he prayed, “Dear God, please keep my children safe and sound. If you can hear what I say, I am willing to shorten my life span for ten years to keep my children safe!”
As the Nan family were busy handling the resources to carry out a rescue operation, Zheng Lunlun just came back from overseas and had lots of food brought over to the filming scene at Flower City.
He realized that there was only Luo Fei and Zhao Mingjie at the scene as well as a few other supporting actors, Ning Ran was not there.
As the Nan family prevented the news from spreading, no one in the crew, including the directors and staff members, knew about Ning Ran’s disappearance.
Cheng Xiangyun told the director that Ning Ran fell ill and had to admit into the hospital for treatment hence she was absence. She said that she was also not sure how many leaves of absence she would have to take.
Although the director was not too happy about it, but ever since he knew that Ning Ran had the Nan family as her pillars of support, he did not dare to make any comment but agreed to everything.
Zheng Lunlun searched around but could not see Ning Ran at all. Hence, we asked the staff members if they knew where Ning Ran had been to.
The staff member said that Ning Ran was seriously ill and did not come here today.
Zheng Lunlun was panicking, and asked the staff member which hospital Ning Ran was at.
As the staff member did not know the answer, he had to turn to Ning Ran’s manager for help.
Hence, Zheng Lunlun immediately gave Cheng Xiangyun a call, but she was stumped as she did not know whether she should let him know about the truth.
After she gave it a thought, she felt that the both of them have a rather good relationship and she ought to make use of his capabilities to help Ning Ran.
Cheng Xiangyun went over to the filming scene and got into his recreational vehicle to tell him about what exactly happened to Ning Ran.
Zheng Lunlun was shocked, “So all these were Luo Fei’s doings? What an evil woman, kick her out of the cast!”
“Currently, there is no evidence if it was done by her but she is a suspect as she had always wanted Ding Mi to disappear.” Cheng Xiangyun said.
“It must be her; I can never forgive her! I haven’t taken revenge the last time when she tried to poison Ding Mi, but now she is already creating more trouble!”
“There was no evidence that it was her doing the last time, let alone this time. If Ding Mi could get back safely that we might be able to have evidence but if she really disappears, we will not even have a chance for revenge. And the two children, they are so innocent.” As Cheng Xiangyun said with tears flowing down her cheeks.
“No way, Ding Mi is not that vulnerable. Rest assured; nothing will happen to her. Say no more, I will make necessary arrangement now to search for Ding Mi!”
“The Nan family did not allow me to leak any news out so I hope that you will keep it to yourself.” Cheng Xiangyun said worriedly.
“I know how to handle this.” Zheng Lunlun said.
Just then, the staff member came over to inform Zheng Lunlun to get ready for his shoot in the afternoon.
But Zheng Lunlun did not care at all and got his driver to send him over to the Nan family.
After he heard Chai Hua’s explanation, he then found out that Third Uncle Nan Chen had already set off to rescue them and they were all out of contact.
“So what do we do now?” Zheng Lunlun was extremely frantic.
“Master and the Chief of Y province have made a phone call; the chief is now making arrangements to get rescue teams to carry out the search beyond the borders. It is extremely dangerous and
challenging as there are wars over that side and this involves a negotiation between the two countries.” Chai Hua said.
“This sounds really complicated; by the time we finish all these troublesome negotiations, that will be the end of Third Uncle and the rest of them! I will have to come up with my own way. I will discuss with Fourth Uncle.” Zheng Lunlun said.
“Mr. Nan Xing is currently resting as he is extremely exhausted from the lack of sleep last night.” Chai Hua said.
“He is still able to fall asleep under such a situation? He is really open-minded, let me go and look for him now!”
But in fact, Nan Xing did not fall asleep but was just trying to rest by keeping his eyes closed forcefully.
The main problem was that there was no suitable solution to salvage the current situation and all that could be done was to wait.
Zheng Lunlun started knocking onto the door as if he was trying to tear it down, “Fourth Uncle, open the door now, there is an urgent matter that I need to discuss with you right now.”
Nan Xing opened the door and saw Zheng Lunlun holding a map in his hands.
“Are you trying to create trouble? I am already about to go completely bonkers, if you’re going to create more trouble for me I will really punch you!” Nan Xing said.
“Fourth Uncle, why are you treating me like a child as well? Don’t you know how talented I am? Come here; let me explain it all to you.” Nan Xing had no choice but to walk over.
“Fourth Uncle, now look, based on what Chai Hua said, Third Uncle crossed the border from this part. By doing so, he would have reached this primitive forest where no one managed to get through for over
the past couple of years. Many people ended up dying in there!”
Nan Xing’s weak heart was unable to take any blow, “I know of all these situations that you’re saying, what’s your intention of letting me know of these? Are you cursing your Third Uncle and my children?”
“Calm down you old man, why would I think this way? I am just trying to analyze the current situation. Look, now that the border has been sealed, we cannot get over from here, not even a plane. It is too challenging to do so as there is an ongoing war over that country.”
“What are you trying to tell me? Stop beating around the bush! Cut the crap!” Nan Xing got very emotional.
“Calm down Fourth Uncle, what I am about to say is the main point! Our country is not having any war and our borders are not sealed, so if we enter M nation from our country to carry out the rescue operation, there should not be any problem.” Zheng Lunlun said as he pointed to the map.
