Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 556 Unexpected Posh

Yi Yunrui gets out of the car and sees Christine in blood. He frowns and takes out his phone. Though they are not responsible for this, the victim needs urgent care. They need to reschedule the meeting with the city council.

An Lingxi gets out of the car and sees Yi Yunrui immediately.

She is awed at him in his dark-green combat uniform.

This man… He looks so powerful like a king when he is in the uniform. Every woman will fall for him if they feel his aura!

“It’s you?”

Yi Yunrui walks up to her, “You’re injured. Stay put. The ambulance will be here in no time.”

An Lingxi nods. It seems she suddenly thinks of something. She quickly takes out her phone and calls Xia Ning, “So sorry, Chief Editor Xia. Christine and I have a car accident, and Christine is injured. We’re heading to the hospital. I might not be able to do the exclusive interview at two…”

“What? A car accident? Lingxi, you alright? Don’t worry about the interview. Go to the hospital first! I’ll be there as soon as I finish my business.”

“I’m so sorry...”

“No worries! Go to the hospital now. Don’t waste your time!” Xia Ning hangs up the phone worriedly.

The interview with Beitang Xiu can be delayed. What she worries about is An Lingxi and Christine’s safety!

She also needs to do an exclusive interview at two. She cannot switch it as it is important. As for Beitang Xiu, Xia Ning’s eyes light up seeing Jing Shu, who is sitting next to her.

“Shu, Deputy Editor An and Christine have had a car accident. Can you take over the exclusive interview with Beitang Xiu?”

Jing Shu widens her eyes, “Oh, no, Deputy Editor An has a car accident? Are they alright?”

“I don’t know for sure. I’ll check in on them later in the hospital.” Xia Ning hands the interview draft for Beitang Xiu over to Jing Shu, “If it’s you, I think Mr. Beitang is fine with this.”

“What about Deputy Editor An?”

“No worries. I’ll handle it. If you think it’s not OK or you don’t know how to do it, I can reschedule the interview with Mr. Beitang.”

Jing Shu contemplates for a while. She has read the draft a couple of times. She has also done several small exclusive interviews when working with Xia Ning. She does not think it will be a big challenge.

An Lingxi cannot do the exclusive interview with Beitang Xiu at the last minute. It is definitely her opportunity!

She wants to be more helpful to Sister Xia than just an assistant to the chief editor.

Pursing her lips, Jing Shu nods, “OK, I’ll take over. Leave Mr. Beitang to me. Rest assured, Sister Xia. I’ll give everything I can to do this properly.”

Xia Ning looks at Jing Shu gently. She pats on Jing Shu’s shoulder, “Mr. Beitang is nice. Don’t worry. You can count on me if anything.”

“Thanks, Sister Xia!” Jing Shu stands up, “It’s about two o’clock. I’m heading to Tianyu. Xiaoniao, Man, I’ll leave Sister Xia to you.”

A major hospital in C City.

Christine is having an operation in the operating theatre when An Lingxi has her wounds treated.

An Lingxi sits at the entrance of the operating theatre with Yi Yunrui silently seated at the other end. Zhang Hai is pacing up and down in anxiety.

Zhang Hai has been busy since they arrived at the hospital as if the patient is his family.

Yi Yunrui finds it weird. He has only met An Lingxi twice, and that is all. But Zhang Hai behaves as if he knows these two women, especially Christine, well.

Zhang Hai’s behaviour suggests that he and Christine are more than friends.

“Hello, Mr. Yi.”

An Lingxi takes the seat next to Yi Yunrui, “So you are in the army. I’m so sorry that we hit your car, Mr. Yi.”

It was a red light. Knight XV did not break the rules. Even the people who are the most ignorant to the laws know who should take the responsibility.

Yi Yunrui was in an armored vehicle. Hers is also a luxury car, but she is still an ordinary person. It is always tricky when it comes to the armored vehicle.

Receiving An Lingxi’s apologetic gaze, Yi Yunrui says plainly, “Miss An, was your car out of control?”

An Lingxi shakes her head with guilt and smiles, “I wasn’t paying attention. And I failed to hit the brakes...”

“The driver was not you.” Yi Yunrui interrupted her plainly, “It was Christine.”

An Lingxi pauses, “Huh, yeah. It was Christine driving.”

Commander Yi does not look pleased. An Lingxi feels worried.

“How come the car hit us with no reason? What was Christine doing?” Zhang Hai says impatiently. He is now sensitive to everything involving Christine.

An Lingxi takes a while to contemplate and recall. She then says, “Mr. Yi, we’ll take the responsibility. I mean, can we settle it privately?”

“Why did the car hit us?”

“Hmm...” An Lingxi hesitates, “I don’t know if you’ll buy it, but I can’t lie that Christine was emotionally unstable the whole day as if something had happened. She didn’t tell me when I asked her. She was absent-minded when driving. And then we hit you.”

Zhang Hai’s expression changed suddenly at her words.

Christine was emotionally unstable. It could be because of last night?

Meanwhile, a group of people dressed like high officials walk towards them. Many of them are police and all pay obeisance to Yi Yunrui. After some flattery and small talks, one policeman says, “Commander Yi, we, the police, will handle this case in the shortest possible time. We respect your time.”

This man says and takes a peek at An Lingxi, who is sitting beside, his eyes flicking, “Sorry, but are you the owner of the Ferrari?”

An Lingxi widens her eyes and is surprised at how the man addressed Yi Yunrui.

She knows that he is in the army, but it never came to her that he held such a high title!

It is high enough to make the high officials in politics and military be a toady!

Settle privately? How dare she say that to Yi Yunrui, given his identity and status?

Yi Yunrui glances over the fawning smiles on these people’s faces and slowly says, “Sergent Huang, I think you might as well focus on the investigation of the third car.”

Yi Yunrui’s simple words point out the direction for people to work on.

“Ah, right. That makes sense, Commander Yi. We know what to do. Miss, if possible, would you be able to come to the police station to tell us what happened?”

An Lingxi looks at the operating theatre. The light is still on. “Sergent, my friend is still having the surgery. She has just arrived in China and doesn’t know anyone here. Would you mind if I come to the police station after her surgery?”

Sergent Huang takes a look at Yi Yunrui, who says nothing. He then understands and says, “All right. You can help your friend first. There are personnel working in the police station twenty-four seven. Don’t worry.”

People then start their flattery and small talks with Yi Yunrui again and do not seem to want to leave. More people join them instead.

Yi Yunrui is a figure. But he keeps a low profile, which gives no chance for people to toady to him.

This time Yi Yunrui is involved in an accident, which is a rare chance for those high officials to brown-nose him.

Yi Yunrui knows about this for sure.

Thus, he should not stay here for too long.

“I’m so sorry, folks, but I have to attend to something in the military region. Excuse me.” Yi Yunrui says and exits.

Yi Yunrui excuses himself so suddenly that people only realize what has happened when Yi Yunrui has walked out of the first aid centre. Some of them know about Yi Yunrui’s personality and feel regret that Commander Yi felt nothing and if that was their fault. Those who do not know Yi Yunrui well chase after him, only to find themselves stopped by the car door.

Yi Yunrui never listens to reason nor bows to force.

Knight XV leaves the hospital quickly.

People are left behind with remorse. A tall and slim figure walks away, whose eyes reveal some plots.

The car is speeding as the driver is driving it with emotion.

Zhang Hai may not realize how he looks now, but Yi Yunrui, in the back seat, knows it well!

He looks anxious, worried and uneasy!

“Stop the car.”

Zhang Hai is shocked. He stops the car immediately.

“Boss, what’s the matter?”

“What’s your relationship with Christine?”

Zhang Hai pauses and says reluctantly after a while, “Boss, I’ve only known her for a short period. I can’t tell our relationship exactly...”

“Just be honest with me!” Yi Yunrui looks serious with his voice deepening.

He looks serious already. And now he is also angry, which scares Zhang Hai, who gasps hard!

The boss must have known something. He can no longer keep it secret.

But how can he “be honest” about such a thing...

“Boss, I... I was with Christine last night.” Zhang Hai flushes in his words.

Yi Yunrui’s eyes go dark.

“And then what’s your relationship with Jing Shu?”

Jing Shu, Christine... Zhang Hai scratches his head, “Shu is my madam’s assistant. We are just normal friends.”

Yi Yunrui is unpleased with Zhang Hai’s words, “I saw you two be together frequently previously, right?”

“... It’s just because of work. Shu is my madam’s assistant. It’s normal for us to be close.” Zhang Hai is a bit depressed. The boss seems to be on Jing Shu’s side.

“You’ve known Christine for a long time?”

Zhang Hai smiles, “I only met her that day at the market. Only a couple of days. Boss, I thought you knew about it.”

Yi Yunrui squints, “So you also know that it has just been a couple of days. Zhang Hai, I’m totally impressed!”

The boss seems to have other messages hidden in his words. Zhang Hai is worried. He also thinks it develops too quickly to be natural, let alone his boss.
