Chapter 534: A False Alarm!
“Exact location!”
“About two hundred meters south of the intersection!”
“Hurry!”
“Yes, Boss!”
Liu Yutong’s black Maybach accelerated again, careening onto Binjiang Road in a drift.
By now, the crash site was already flashing with police lights.
The moment Liu Yutong stepped out of the car, she ran toward the scene like a woman possessed.
Reaching the outer cordon, she saw the horrific sight.
A massive container truck lay askew across the road, its cab horribly mangled.
Beneath it was a taxi, most of its body crushed into scrap metal—recognizable only by its color and the remains of its rear end.
Rescue workers were cutting into the deformed vehicle with tools, but anyone could see at a glance that survival was impossible.
“Boss!”
Yun Cheng rushed out of the car after her. While chasing his boss, he too saw the devastating scene, and his heart sank.
But there was no time for grief. He quickly gestured to the Wanlong Society members gathering around, signaling them to secure the perimeter and ensure the boss’s safety.
Liu Yutong tried to duck under the cordon but was stopped by an officer.
“Miss, you can’t go through!”
“Let me through! My sister might be in that car!”
“I’m sorry, you can’t pass. Please step back to a safe distance!”
“Boss! Don’t go over! It’s dangerous!”
Just as Liu Yutong tried to force her way past, Yun Cheng caught up and grabbed her arm.
Now was definitely not the time to let the boss interfere and obstruct the firefighters’ rescue efforts.
Besides, there was leaking fuel at the scene—a potential hazard.
“Let me go! Yun Cheng, let me go! My sister’s in there! She might be in there!” Liu Yutong struggled desperately, tears streaming uncontrollably.
The usually composed, cold, and powerful boss was now crying like a helpless child.
She couldn’t bear to think what it would mean if Gao Min was really inside that pile of wreckage…
“Boss, you can’t go!”
“Boss, please calm down!”
“Boss…….”
Apart from Yun Cheng, others were also pleading with her.
“Yu…. Yutong….”
Amid the chaos, a trembling voice floated into Liu Yutong’s ears from behind.
Hearing that voice, Liu Yutong suddenly went still. Tears still hung on her long eyelashes. She didn’t even dare to breathe, terrified that the sound was just a hallucination born of overwhelming grief.
Then, slowly, she turned her head and looked toward the source of the sound through her blurred vision.
There, on the dimly lit grassy area behind the sidewalk, a figure in a light-colored shirt, looking utterly disheveled, sat on the ground hugging her knees.
Who else could it be but Gao Min?
Liu Yutong shook off Yun Cheng’s hand and ran toward that huddled figure on the lawn.
The closer she got, the clearer she could see.
It was Gao Min!
She was alive! She wasn’t in that car!
Liu Yutong rushed to Gao Min’s side and without a word, crouched down and hugged her tightly.
Gao Min’s trembling body visibly relaxed in her sister’s embrace.
Strangely, her sister’s presence instantly gave her a sense of security, and she wasn’t as scared as before.
“It’s okay, Sis, it’s okay…”
“I’m here, it’s over, it’s all over…”
Burying her face in her sister’s shoulder, Gao Min burst into tears.
The scene from earlier was something she’d never forget in this lifetime. For the first time, she truly felt Death had been so close.
It had been utterly terrifying!
Moments later, Gao Min’s emotions gradually subsided, and a sense of shame began to creep in.
She was the older sister!
As an older sister, as a police officer, crying in her younger sister’s arms while surrounded by all these Wanlong Society members—how humiliating!
“Yutong, I’m fine now.”
“I just got a bit scared when I jumped out of the car and fell.”
She said this with a hint of relief. Thankfully, the car had slowed for a red light; otherwise, her injuries would have been far worse than mere scrapes.
“Sis, you’re not fine. Look at all those abrasions. We’re going to the hospital right now for a full checkup!”
“Yun Cheng, ready the car!”
“Yes, Boss!”
Gao Min really didn’t want to go to the hospital, especially seeing all the black-suited men surrounding her sister.
“The suspect hasn’t been found yet. Just put some iodine on it. I have the local police’s contact info. Please don’t do anything reckless…”
Liu Yutong cut her off directly: “Sis, leave everything to me. You don’t need to worry. I’ll find them within an hour at most.”
“Take my sister to the hospital.”
Gao Min: “….”
Then she was forcibly carried onto an ambulance on a stretcher by several Wanlong Society members.
“Boss!”
Yun Cheng reported another update: “The contact Mr. Gu sent has messaged back. The last signal source appeared near the Celestial Clubhouse.”
Liu Yutong didn’t hesitate: “Then notify everyone to go to the Celestial Clubhouse.”
Yun Cheng: “But won’t that delay finding the classmate Miss Gao mentioned?”
Liu Yutong: “No. As long as we find Vulture Master, we’ll find Lin Bin and his crew.”
At these words, Yun Cheng immediately understood.
Wasn’t that loan shark, Brother Long, one of Vulture Master’s underlings?
As long as they found Vulture Master, those people would naturally have to hand over their captive.
Besides, Gao Min’s car accident today might very well have been orchestrated by him.
That bastard would pay!
Little did they know, Vulture Master was also panicking. He felt he’d been set up—or more accurately, implicated.
After receiving the news, he wanted to send men to capture that man and woman, but it was too late. The pair had already left the country by plane through certain channels.
