half thorns, half joy

The scene of the explosion was tragic, and some people were directly blown into pieces. The police station did not report the specific death toll. Xiao Zihan was not among the slightly injured, and the identity of the seriously injured could not be confirmed right now.

This feeling of being unable to confirm the result almost drove Cai Jinyu crazy.

But what made him more bewildered than this was Tang Xuan's inquiry call.

"Jinyu, have you seen Zihan?"

Cai Jinyu felt as if her throat was completely blocked, and she couldn't even utter a single syllable.

"Jinyu? Jinyu?"

Hearing Tang Xuan's call, Cai Jinyu realized and let out an ah.

He licked his dry lips, searched for words and replied: "I see, Zihan is busy."

"It's about time, is he still busy?"

Tang Xuan's voice sounded full of worry and concern.

Cai Jinyu couldn't bear to listen, so she quickly said that she was still busy telling Tang Xuan to go to bed early, and hung up the phone.

He was really afraid, afraid that Tang Xuan would know what happened.

On the other end, Tang Xuan listened to the busy beeping sound coming from her mobile phone, and turned her gaze to the TV in the middle of the room.

On the TV, the accident of the Chengnan chemical plant explosion is being broadcast.

There was a big fire in the picture, thick smoke was billowing, the ground was in a mess, and the reporter's face was covered with dust and flames.

Looking at the dazzling firelight, Tang Xuan's heart sank little by little.

The sensitive Tang Xuan couldn't hear the dodge and evasion in Cai Jinyu's words.

"Don't..."

Tang Xuan muttered to herself, tears streaming down her line.

……

Cai Jinyu sat in a daze all night in the corridor of the hospital. The next morning, he dragged his exhausted body and left the hospital.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Cai Lin anxiously pacing back and forth.

Seeing him, Cai Lin hurried up to meet him.

"Brother, you are finally back."

Cai Jinyu, who had been sitting all night, was physically and mentally exhausted. Seeing Cai Lin's anxious appearance, she was shocked again. Cai Lin probably knew something.

Cai Lin grabbed Cai Jinyu's hand and handed the phone screen to Cai Jinyu's eyes.

"Brother, look at this, is it a scribble or is it real?"

On the web page on the phone screen, someone broke the news that the explosion at the Dengjia Chemical Factory was related to the Xiao Group, and that it was an underground fight between the two consortiums.

Cai Jinyu only glanced at it, and his face darkened.

"Who sent this out?"

Cai Lin shook her head, "I don't know. Since this morning, there have been a lot of words like this appearing under various news reports. Up to now, some passers-by have been led astray, demanding a thorough investigation of this incident."

Cai Jinyu snorted coldly, took off his coat, "What are you talking about, so many people have died, a thorough investigation is certain, and they still need to wave their flags?"

After listening to Cai Jinyu's words, Cai Lin was silent for a moment.

She watched Cai Jinyu loosen his tie, changed into his slippers and prepared to go upstairs, and spoke behind Cai Jinyu's back.

"Brother, did the explosion kill many people? How do you know?"

Realizing that she had slipped the tongue, Cai Jinyu stopped walking.

And Cai Lin also realized that when she showed her brother the nonsense gossip just now, not only was he not surprised, let alone angry.

It was as if what those people were saying was what he already knew and was the truth.

Cai Lin walked up to Cai Jinyu, looked up at Cai Jinyu, and asked cautiously, "Brother, the explosion at the Chengnan Chemical Plant is not really related to the Xiao family, is it?"

Cai Jinyu was silent.

Many of Xiao Zihan's subordinates were injured at the scene, and Xiao Zihan may also be severely burned in the ICU. It is impossible to hide this matter.

If it cannot be suppressed, it is very likely that the news will report it.

"Are those rumors on the Internet true?" Cai Lin was shocked. She had waited for Cai Jinyu to come back, and wanted to tell Cai Jinyu how ugly these rumors were, so that Cai Jinyu could contact Xiao Zihan and find a way to make these rumors disappear.

She never thought that those rumors... were actually true?

Cai Jinyu denied Cai Lin's words, "No, the facts are much more complicated than the rumors. The explosion in the chemical plant has nothing to do with the Xiao family. Zihan just assisted the police in investigating the Deng family. The explosion was caused by Deng Li.

"Deng Li..." Cai Lin thought of something and grabbed Cai Jinyu's arm, "Brother, where is Deng Langyue? How is he? Where was he when the explosion happened?"

Cai Jinyu gently pushed Cai Lin's hand away, sighed, "Don't worry, Deng Langyue is fine, he is fine, he was not at the chemical plant when the explosion happened."

"Then who is there?" Cai Lin asked after him.

"...Deng Li. Alright, I'm going to sleep. If you have any questions, you can ask me when I wake up."

Cai Jinyu walked upstairs as he spoke, he was afraid that if he continued to speak, he would slip up, he was very tired now, and wanted to take a good rest.

There are still many things waiting for him to deal with the aftermath.

While Cai Jinyu was sleeping, Tang Xuan and Zhao Suizhi also received bad news.

It wasn't some gossip or vague words, but the police went directly to the door of Xiao's house, sat face to face, and told Tang Xuan and Zhao Suizhi.

There were many Xiao Zihan's subordinates at the scene of the explosion. After the rescue work was over, the police began to investigate the explosion.

It stands to reason that Xiao Zihan and his subordinates are innocent. He just appeared there to assist Police Officer Liu.

But Police Officer Liu is still in the intensive care unit. Another police officer took over the task of investigating the explosion. You have to investigate it your own way.

"So, you don't know what Xiao Zihan is doing outside? You don't know what he did to Deng Li?" The police officer surnamed Wang looked at Tang Xuan and Zhao Suizhi with his eyes hanging.

Zhao Suizhi shook his head with a pale face.

Tang Xuan, on the other hand, seemed to have received a heavy blow, and her whole mind was wandering in the sky.

"Before the explosion yesterday, were you in contact with Xiao Zihan?" Officer Wang asked again.

"There's a phone call."

"What was said on the phone?"

Zhao Suizhi wiped away his tears, and replied with red eyes: "I didn't say anything, just told us not to worry, he will come back later."

Police Officer Wang obviously didn't believe it, and turned his sharp eyes to Tang Xuan again, "Is that so?"

However, Tang Xuan seemed to be unable to hear, and stared blankly at a point in the air.

"Miss Tang!" Officer Wang raised his voice.

Tang Xuan slowly shifted her gaze to Police Officer Wang's face, and said weakly, "You said earlier that Zihan was severely burned and is now in the intensive care unit?"

Police Officer Wang cursed in his heart, in his opinion, Xiao Zihan's wife in front of him was really useless, she was so weak that she was about to fall down, she was completely like a useless rich wife.

He looked down on Tang Xuan from the bottom of his heart, so what he said was naturally very impatient and somewhat malicious.

"Well, it is likely to be the case, but the identities of the burnt people in the intensive care unit cannot be confirmed, and the possibility that Xiao Zihan is not there is not ruled out. If not..."

Tang Xuan immediately became nervous, "If there is no one, then what?"

Although Police Officer Wang remained indifferent on the face, there was a hint of malice in his eyes, "If not, then it is not ruled out that he may have been killed on the spot and his body was blown up."

"What... what did you say..."

Tang Xuan didn't bring it up in one breath, and passed out immediately.
