Chapter 724: His Fiancée

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Why would the butler of the Imperial Palace call her?

And looking at the time, it was already midnight in Z-Sea.

Pei Shizhan also noticed that number. Although he couldn’t confirm that it was the butler of the Imperial Palace, it showed the address of a location in Z-Sea.

He knew that his youngest son was there.

With a serious expression, he put one hand into his trousers pocket and signaled Du Meilan to take it.

Du Meilan picked up the call. After hearing the butler’s anxious and flustered voice, her heart sank.

“What happened?!”

The butler was so anxious that she forgot to speak Chinese. The whole process was in their local language, but Du Meilan could understand.

Without Sir’s consent, she should not have called Madam Du privately.

However, when he arrived at the scene of the accident and saw his master’s current state, he only had one thought in his mind. This was definitely not going to work.

After Du Meilan heard what had happened, her body fell back. Pei Shizhan supported her and mouthed for her to calm down.

Du Meilan steadied her mind. “You haven’t found her yet? How long has it been since the accident?”

When she received a reply, her heart turned cold.

“Take good care of my son. I’ll rush over as soon as possible.”

After saying this, she realized that the hand that she had unintentionally grabbed Pei Shizhan’s sleeve was trembling.

She let go, and Pei Shizhan frowned. “What happened? Did something happen to Pei Huai?”

“It’s Su Ji.” Du Meilan shook her head. “Su Ji was in a car accident. Her car fell into the sea. She hasn’t been found yet...”

As parents, it was normal for them to first confirm that their child was fine. However, when he heard that it was not Pei Huai but Su Ji who was in trouble, his expression did not relax at all.

They knew that if something happened to Su Ji, his son would not be well either.

“How could such a thing happen...”

Pei Shizhan made a call on his phone, speaking in a foreign language. Du Meilan heard him arranging a trip to the Z Sea immediately.

Du Meilan wasn’t in the mood to think about anything else. She just glanced into the dining room.

Pei Shizhan understood what she meant. He said something to the restaurant manager and led her to the elevator. “Pei Huai should have transferred the family’s private jet to Z-Sea. You can take mine.”

Du Meilan nodded.

The manager sent the two of them to the elevator. After the elevator door closed, he had a troubled expression.

The elevator went down from the 80th floor to the 40th floor. During this time, the two of them were silent.

Then, he continued to descend. Pei Shizhan said, “tell the in-laws first. We’ll bring them over.”

His words brought up the thing that Du Meilan didn’t want to face the most. “Now that Su Ji’s life and death are unknown, Mingzhi will definitely not be able to take it. Her heart is tied to Su Ji for the rest of her life. If something really happens to Su Ji, it will take her life.”

Pei Shizhan was calmer than her- “The in—laws have the right to know. and

they will know sooner or later.” Du Meilan pinched her phone.

At the restaurant on the top floor.

Ji Xi played three songs and stopped.

His fingers rested on the black and white keys.

The door was pushed open from the outside and she looked up.

She didn’t see Pei Shizhan, only the manager’s hurried footsteps and a slightly awkward smile.

“I’m sorry, Miss Ji.” The foreman stopped three meters away from her. “Mr. Pei had something urgent to attend to and left earlier. He asked me to apologize to you.”

Ji Xi’s expression did not change, but the light in her eyes dimmed. She still smiled politely and did not look embarrassed. “Can I stay here?”

The manager probably didn’t expect this answer and was stunned for a moment.

Ji Xi thought she couldn’t, so she explained, “I haven’t finished eating yet, so I don’t want to waste it.”

“Of course!” He replied repeatedly, “Mr. Pei has already paid.”

Ji Xi said, “thank you. Then open another bottle of wine for me...”

Five hours after the accident, Du Meilan and the others boarded the plane. On Pei Huai’s side, with the relentless efforts of the search and rescue ship, they finally found Su Ji!

Pei Huai rushed to the rescue ship immediately.

He saw his fiancée drenched from head to toe, dripping with water. The wound on her forehead was white, and her face was so pale that it seemed lifeless.

He walked towards her step by step, his steps heavy as if he was shackled.

She knelt on the ground on both knees, her palm that was covered in wounds from his self-harm supporting her body.

Most of the people who had been rescued after more than five hours had little hope, but the rescuers told him excitedly that Su Yi’s heart was still beating!

Pei Huai still did not relax. He did not dare.

He held Su Ji’s weak pulse.

“Send her to the hospital.”

The wind on the surface of the sea was extremely strong, and the rescuers did not hear the words clearly. “Sir, what did you say?

Pei Huai looked at him and enunciated each word. “I’ve already arranged for the doctor to see her in the hospital. Go now.”

Shen Mu was one of the first to rush over from China after the incident. He didn’t even have time to wait for the elevator and led the rest of the team to take the stairs.

The door of the operating theater was tightly shut.

Pei Huai sat on the chair closest to the door, his elbows resting on his knees.

It had been 14 hours since Su Ji’s car accident, and it had been eight hours since Su Ji was sent to the operating room. According to the old butler, during this period, his CEO had never left.

Shen Mu gestured for his assistant to prepare some food and drinks. He did not go forward and stood far away. He also asked the others to line up and stand against the wall so that their CEO would not be annoyed.

Just like that, the nurses who came and went saw the butler standing by the bench outside the operating theater. Behind him, under the wall, a large group of people stood in a line all the way to the end of the corridor.

The man sitting on the bench did not say a word. His entire body was enveloped in sadness.

His eyes were filled with desperation and ruthlessness, as well as the helplessness of missing out on his beloved. nove/Lb-In

He was waiting for the verdict.

One step into heaven, one step into hell.

Shen Mu’s heart ached.

He was worried about both Ms. Su Ji and his CEO.

He knew what the CEO was thinking. He regretted buying Ms. Su a car and letting her drive by herself.

He shouldn’t have prepared a proposal.

The CEO and Ms. Su Ji was one.

An hour later, the lights in the operating theater went out.

Pei Huai looked up at that moment.

Su Ji, who was lying on the hospital bed, was pushed out by a few assistants.

The doctor followed behind and took off his mask. He looked at Pei Huai and the others. “She’s still unconscious and needs to be sent to the ICU for observation.”

Shen Mu and the others looked at each other. Their expressions were not relaxed.

“Is her life in danger?” Pei Huai asked. His emotions were completely undetectable.

Su Ji’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

A few seconds later, the doctor said, “Mr. Pei, don’t worry. Her life is not in danger for the time being..”
