Third-tier artist [Rebirth]

It was clearly in the afternoon, and the sky was already overcast like evening.Gu Qinghan sat in the car and tried three times before starting the car.He took a deep breath, the hands holding the steering wheel were still shaking.

That news... no, I must have misremembered it.

He took out his phone, the interface paused on Huang Xing's name, and finally dialed Liu Ming's number.

"Hi!" sounded out of breath.

"You told me yesterday that Huang Xing is going to take a boat today? He has already arrived in the South Island, right?"

There was silence on the phone for a long time: "I just found out this is, and I'm rushing to the port now. Huang Xing, he... He took the ship that had an accident today."

The voice stopped abruptly, Gu Qinghan hung up the phone and threw it aside, stepped on the accelerator, and the car flew off like an arrow, leaving only white smoke in an instant.

The usual one-hour journey took Gu Qinghan just over half an hour to arrive.

The parking lot of the port, which was not very lively in the past, is now full of vehicles, and people come and go in an endless stream. There are people from all walks of life, and there are not a few reporters who come to hear the news.

Gu Qinghan didn't have time to care about these things, he didn't even cover up, and appeared aboveboard in the crowd's sight.Many people recognized him in the past, but no one dared to step forward, because at this time Gu Qinghan looked like a demon, as if anyone who dared to approach would be mercilessly obliterated.

The waiting hall is now full of people, the guards have been dispatched to maintain order, and the latest news is broadcast over and over again on the loudspeaker.

"Why did you come here like this, what should you do if you are photographed?" Gu Qinghan was so conspicuous, Liu Ming and the others saw him right away.

"What's going on now? Where's Huang Chen?" Apart from Huang Chen, Gu Qinghan couldn't care about anything else.

"The news I just got is that the explosion was only in a small area. The reason is not yet known, but it is not particularly serious. At that time, some passengers on the ship jumped into the sea to escape, and the rescue ship has rescued most of them. The rest They are still being rescued," Liu Ming said.

Gu Qinghan's nervousness eased slightly: "Has Huang Xing been rescued?"

"I haven't seen his name in the list yet, not only Huang Chen, but also Liu Tianyi who was with him." Liu Ming added, "Presumably these two people should be together."

Not long after, Liu Tianyi's manager also rushed over upon hearing the news, and a group of people waited anxiously.

As time passed, the number of missing people gradually decreased. Although there were a few seriously injured patients, there was no death toll yet.

"Why haven't you found it yet!" Liu Tianyi's manager walked up and down impatiently.

There were not many people in the waiting hall at this time, and the passengers and family members who were found had all gone to the hospital for examination. Except for the persistent reporters and sporadic passengers, they were the only relatives who were still waiting for the hope to come.

There are now only five missing persons left on the list, and just now, the police boat discovered the first body, and notified those who hadn't waited to come and claim it.

"It can't be the two of them. They must be together. If they find out, they shouldn't be the same." Liu Tianyi's manager was lost in thought.

"Shut your crow's mouth!" Liu Ming was already anxious, but Liu Tianyi's manager's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

"How is this a crow's mouth, I mean the corpse that I don't want to be discovered is one of them!"

"Yes, I found two!" Liu Ming retorted.

"I didn't curse them, it was you—"

"Enough!" Gu Qinghan's voice was cold and gloomy, his dark eyes were full of suppressed anger, and the two of them immediately shut up in fright.

Gu Qinghan pursed his lips tightly, stood outside the door and hesitated for a while before walking in.

There were already three people in the room, and they all ignored the corpse lying there, but listened to what looked like a staff member with a solemn expression.

Gu Qinghan didn't care about what they were saying, but strode towards the corpse, calmed down his emotions, and stretched out his hand to lift off the white cloth covering it.

Half of a face was bloody and bloody, and only the shoulder was left on one arm. The wound was swollen and white due to being soaked in sea water for a long time.Gu Qinghan froze for a moment when he saw this head, and it was not until the people who came behind burst into tears that he realized that the face in front of him was an unfamiliar face.

It was the first time that Gu Qinghan experienced the feeling of weakness in his legs. Even when he was kidnapped back then, he had never experienced such trembling and violent emotional ups and downs just now.

"Are you also relatives of the missing persons?" The staff member who was talking to others came over and asked them.

"Yes." Gu Qinghan nodded.

"It's like this. I want to tell you about the news that came from the front just now. I hope you can prepare yourself."

The staff's words lifted Gu Qinghan's heart that had just let go.

"The cause of the accident has been found out. It was an explosion in the lounge of a VIP passenger. Investigators have found traces of nitroglycerin and white phosphorus, and there is an obvious sulfur smell. It can be concluded that the explosion was man-made."

"Man-made?" Liu Ming exclaimed, "Someone detonated the explosives on purpose?"

"The current official conclusion is this, and the specifics will not be known until follow-up investigations."

"I'm not interested in man-made or accidental." Gu Qinghan asked urgently with narrowed eyes, "Where is my friend!"

The staff member leaned back under his pressure: "You, your friend...it's very likely..."

Seeing that Gu Qinghan was about to kill/someone, he took a deep breath and said quickly: "These four who are missing are likely to live in the compartment closest to the explosion lounge, and it is already dark and it is difficult to search , so the chances of survival are very slim.”

After speaking, he bowed deeply, and walked away quickly before the other party made trouble.

A muffled thunder streaked across the sky, instantly illuminating the already dark sky, making Gu Qinghan's pale face even more bloodless.The composure and calmness in his eyes, as well as the self-confidence that seemed to be in control of everything, were all gone.In addition to being empty or empty, at first glance, there is no business or emotion, and the whole person is like a puppet with a broken thread, dull and confused.

My heart seemed to be gouged out by something, and I didn't even know where the pain was. It was like losing my belief in living, and I didn't even have the strength to breathe. The walking dead seemed to die in the next second.

No, he would rather be a walking dead, at least not hear what he just said, at least...not be as desperate as he is now.

"No, he won't die. Before seeing him, everything is speculation." His voice was hoarse, and he didn't know whether to tell others or comfort himself with his deep words.

The scene was filled with sadness and despair. Gu Qinghan strode forward with difficulty, sat back on the chair in a daze, with his head lowered, his whole body was enveloped by intense grief, and he stared at the ground motionless.

Liu Ming didn't know how to comfort him, he was well aware of the relationship between Gu Qinghan and Huang Xing, and he had already noticed that his care for Huang Xing was unusual, so he didn't have many surprises after yesterday's incident.

When Huang Xing said he was going to go out to relax, he immediately notified Gu Qinghan. He wanted to take this opportunity to calm things down and give Huang Xing time to think clearly, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen...

He didn't know what Huang Chen really thought, but if Huang Chen had the chance to see Gu Qinghan today, he would definitely be moved by it.

Liu Ming let out a long sigh.

At this moment, a mobile phone rang, which stood out in this quiet and deep atmosphere.

The voice came from Gu Qinghan's pocket.

The bell rang persistently, over and over again, but Gu Qinghan didn't have the slightest intention of answering it, he didn't even look at it, and maintained a single movement without moving, as if he didn't hear it at all.

Liu Ming couldn't listen anymore, so he reminded him: "The phone is ringing."

Gu Qinghan tilted his head, and it took him a long time to understand what Liu Ming meant.Fumbling, he reached into his pocket and took out his phone.

The godless eyes swept over inadvertently, and the eyes suddenly changed, like a person who has returned to life, and suddenly came to life.

The trembling hand swiped the screen several times before the call was connected, and the ear was attached to the speaker, and there was no speaking for a long time.

"Gu Qinghan?" Lu Chen's gentle voice poured into Gu Qinghan's ears along with the sound of pouring rain.

Liu Ming hadn't planned to eavesdrop, but Gu Qinghan's sudden calmness made him realize something, and he immediately pricked up his ears.

"Hello? Is there no signal?" Huang Chen said to himself.

"I'm here." Hoarse and low, with endless nostalgia.

"Why don't you speak now." The slightly aggrieved voice sounded like she was being coquettish.

"I was wondering, is it really you..."

Huang Xing didn't know how to answer. Through the phone, he could fully feel Gu Qinghan's emotions. The fear and uneasiness after losing and regaining could be imagined just by listening to the voice.

"Why didn't you answer the phone?" The two were silent for a long time, and Gu Qinghan, who had regained a trace of reason, began to question, "Why did you turn off the phone, no one can contact you, do you know how anxious I am!"

"I, I was trying to avoid harassing calls from reporters. They called one by one and asked me. I was so annoyed that I turned off the phone directly. I didn't expect this to happen."

"Where are you? You didn't get on the boat?" Gu Qinghan heard something.

"No." Huang Xing said, "We just arrived and were still waiting for the boat. One of my neighbors called and said that my mother had a car accident and told me to go home quickly."

"How is Auntie?" Gu Qinghan asked concerned.

"She... Nothing at all, just to trick me to go back. It's Liu Tianyi..." Huang Xing was very anxious, "Where are the others? Have you found it?"

Gu Qinghan frowned: "He got on the boat?"

"Well, he said it would be a waste if I didn't go, so he took my ticket and said he would play for me."

Gu Qinghan repeated the words of the previous staff to Huang Xing.

"You mean that he is very likely to be very close to the explosion point, and...and..." Huang Xing couldn't continue, he didn't want to imagine the result.

Gu Qinghan thought for a while: "I heard from Liu Ming that your boat ticket was sent to you by someone else, and you didn't participate in the magazine's lottery at all? Then this ticket went to Liu Tianyi?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"The official said that this incident was a man-made explosion, and your ticket is strange again. I am just guessing whether this explosion is possible. It is aimed at..." Gu Qinghan paused, his tone was cold, "you?"
