Chapter 52 - Special cases

"Who are you guys?" one middle-aged man asked suspiciously. That person was holding a baseball bat. Ling Yue involuntarily grabbed Xi Jian's arm tightly. The distance from where she stood and the factory door was too far, even if they could run there, the gate wouldn't open immediately.

"Don't get me wrong. We just came here--"

"My husband and I just walk around here. Right, dear?" Ling Yue cut him and put pressure on Xi Jian's arm.

"Why walk around in such a dirty environment?" he snorted.

"What happened, uncle?" Ling Yue prayed silently that they would not be found out and Bai Xu quickly appeared.

Another man came and added, "You chose the wrong honeymoon spot, Miss."

"Is that so?" Ling Yue laughed awkwardly.

Xi Jian glanced at her. "What happened?" he did not receive a report that there was a demo at this branch office. He squinted, trying to see further. It seems that this factory continues to operate as usual regardless of the circumstances outside here.

"This company continues to dispose of its waste in the river. Even though they said the previous demands have been agreed. But they still operate like that."

"If they agree, don't they have to provide compensation?" Xi Jian asked.

Other people were laughing. "What compensation? We have been waiting for almost three months but no one has come!"

"What?!" Ling Yue raised her voice. "Oh sorry, I just ... they were really too much."

"It is true!" and other people began to pay attention to them. The more they gathered, Ling Yue was increasingly nervous. Xi Jian felt Ling Yue tremble more by his side. He released Ling Yue's grip on his arm, wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her closer.

"Darling, are you all right?" Xi Jian played along. "Sorry, my wife seems exhausted, if you do not mind, we will excuse first." without further ado Xi Jian took Ling Yue away from there.

They returned to the car. Bai Xu was still busy calling when they arrived there.

"Sir ... what happened?" Bai Xu saw Ling Yue's face as pale as white paper.

"Are you okay?" Xi Jian looked down at her face. She didn't talk even a bit. Her eyes are out of focus. Fear, anxiety and worry crossed Ling Yue's face.

"Miss Ling?" Xi Jian patted her arm.

No response.

"Hey Ling Yue, don't scare me like this." Ling Yue still did not respond. Xi Jian took her hand. Ling Yue's hand felt cold. Sweat began to appear on her forehead.

"Yueyue?" Xi Jian patted her cheek, smooth. Still no response. Only her eyes moved here and there.

"Damn it! Bai Xu, get in the car. Head to the main hospital!" he ordered.

Xi Jian held Ling Yue along the way. But incredible traffic holds them longer. Xi Jian stroked Ling Yue's back many times.

"Is there no other way?" he asked impatiently. Bai Xu looked for an alternative way, but everything was stuck. He glanced over and over to the back.

Xi Jian took out his cellphone and called Ling Feng. But not connected. It seems like he was on a mission. He doesn't have Ling Huang's number.

"Do you have contact with the new CEO Ling Inc.?" Xi Jian looked at Bai Xu in the rearview mirror. Bai Xu took out his business cellphone which contained all King Empire business contacts. Thank goodness he had found it out before, just in case if one day the boss needs.

"I do. But I don't know if he will pick it up or not because this number might not be on the list." Bai Xu waited until the five ring when finally the telephone was connected.

"Hello?" Ling Huansheng's voice was heard at the other end.

"Hello, Mr. Ling. Sorry for the sudden call. Mr. Xi wants to talk." Bai Xu handed his cellphone to Xi Jian.

"Hey, something strange happened to Ling Yue. Do you know why? She didn't move or say anything. Her body trembled and her eyes were unfocused." Xi Jian tried to explain her situation.

"What happened?"

"We surveyed and talked with the demonstrators."

"Demonstrators? Are they carrying weapons?" Ling Huansheng stood from his chair.

Weapon? "They only carry baseball bats and other blunt objects."

Xi Jian heard Ling Huansheng curse. "Where is she? Let me talk to her."

"We're stuck in traffic." Xi Jian answered half annoyed. "And she keep her eyes closed." And Ling Huansheng cursed again.

"You should tell me what you know besides cursing Ling Huansheng!" the domineering of Xi Jian's aura made Ling Huansheng stunned.

"Sorry. Just keep talking to her. Is there a medicine in her bag?"

Bai Xu took Ling Yue's bag and searched inside but there were no medicines.

"No." Xi Jian looked at Ling Yue in his arms. "Is this bad?" Xi Jian heard a rustling sound across there.

"Anxiety disorder. Special cases. If the patient in general can not be silent. She just shut down." Ling Huansheng talked between his runs. "Give me your location." before he turned off the phone.

Xi Jian gave his phone back to Bai Xu dan let him send their location.
