A foreign city, dear you

Chapter 177 Worry, Waiting

Lin Shushen didn't pay much attention to BYD on the left.

They were about to reach an intersection, and thinking that the green light would soon turn to red, Lin Shushen concentrated on holding the handlebar and prepared to drive straight through the intersection.

At that time, BYD was already alongside him, and the right turn light was still red.

Lin Shushen still didn't pay much attention to BYD, thinking of going straight.

BYD's head had already surpassed the tricycle, but instead of driving straight ahead in its lane, it unexpectedly crossed over to the lane deep in the woods.

Making an illegal right turn without warning?

Is this BYD crazy? !

Lin Shushen was frightened, hurriedly stepped on the brakes to slow down, and instinctively turned the handlebar to the right.

But, it's too late!

In the flash of lightning, Lin Shushen only heard a "bang" sound, and his tricycle was hit hard by the BYD...

*

"Mom, why hasn't dad come back yet?" Yaya asked her mother.

Ye Lu didn't know why Lin Shushen was so late tonight, so he could only reply: "Wait a little longer, maybe dad will be back soon."

Since 9:30 pm, Ye Lu has been checking the time from time to time.

According to previous habits, Lin Shushen usually arrived home before half past nine.

But it's ten o'clock at night.

She also didn't dare to call Lin Shushen, fearing that it would be unsafe for him to answer the phone while driving a tricycle.

She just sent him a text message asking him, hoping he would reply when he saw it.

Even though Ye Lu was slow-tempered, he couldn't help but be anxious when he saw Lin Shushen not coming back so late.

Because driving a tricycle is not very safe and can easily lead to accidents.

Ye Lu waited and comforted herself:

Nothing will happen, nothing has ever happened to Shushen.

Maybe the guests he invited went to a far away place and came back very late?

Maybe there was something wrong with his car and he went to repair it?

……

Ye Lu looked at the phone, hoping that Lin Shushen would reply with a message, but there was no movement on the phone.

Another half hour passed while waiting, and the time came to half past ten.

Ye Lu urged Yaya to go to bed according to her anxious mood, but Yaya said she would wait for her father.

Grandma Yaya also kept muttering beside her: It's so late, why haven't you seen anyone come back yet?

It was windy and cold in the middle of the night, and the rolling shutters were wide open. The three women, old and young, felt that it was getting colder and colder.

"Is it cold?" Ye Lu asked Yaya: "Mom, can you close the rolling shutter?"

Yaya shook her head: "No, dad hasn't come back yet."

Ye Lu had to pack Yaya one more piece of clothing.

"What's going on tonight?" Ye Lu became increasingly anxious: "I'll call him and ask him."

Ye Lu finally couldn't help it, took out her cell phone and dialed Lin Shushen's number.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been switched off."

Ye Lu was a little panicked.

How can this be good?

I can’t see anyone, my messages are not being answered, my phone calls are turned off.

It was so late, something must have happened to Lin Shushen.

Ye Lu was so anxious that she ran out of ideas in the room of more than ten square meters.

The panicked Ye Lu had no place to inquire, so she only thought of her sister Ye Lian.

Ye Lu then picked up her cell phone and dialed Ye Lian's number...

*

Ye Lian was washing when she heard the phone ring.

It was getting late and they were getting ready for bed.

Ye Lian hurriedly brushed her teeth, wiped her mouth, and ran to the bedroom to pick up her mobile phone.

The screen showed Ye Lu's phone number.

As soon as Ye Lian got through, Ye Lu's anxious voice came over: "Sister, do you know where Shu Shen is? Has he called you?"

"I don't know. He didn't call me either. What's wrong?" Ye Lian asked.

"Shushen hasn't come back yet. It's never been so late before."

"Is that so? Just wait a little longer. Nothing will happen. He should be in trouble. I'll call his number and check."

"It's no use, his phone is off."

"Then I have no choice but to wait. Nothing will happen. If he comes home, give me a call."

……

Ye Lian said a few words of comfort and hung up the phone.

In this situation, she had no other choice but to wait.

The city is so big. Without effective contact, who can know who is where?

"Who made the call?" Cao Xueqian asked Ye Lian.

"Ye Lu, she said Lin Shushen hasn't come home yet."

Cao Xueqian subconsciously looked at the time and said, "It's almost eleven o'clock. If I haven't come home so late, I'm afraid something will happen."

"No way? What could happen?"

"Let's go over and take a look. We can make some suggestions if anything happens."

"Now?" Ye Lian was surprised: "You have to go to work tomorrow."

"It's okay." Cao Xueqian said: "If anything happens to Shushen, your sister will be in a state of confusion. We have to be her backbone. If nothing happens, we will come back."

Ye Lian felt a little ashamed, feeling that as a sister, she was not as thoughtful as her brother-in-law.

Ye Lian went to Lanshan's room and took a look. Lanshan was already asleep.

"Okay, let's go." Ye Lian said.

Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian quickly put on thick clothes, went downstairs, and rushed to Ye Lu.

Ye Lu's rental house was a bit far away, so Cao Xueqian said to call a tricycle.

So the two of them walked downhill toward the intersection, where it would be easier to hail a taxi.

From a distance, I saw many people gathered around the intersection of Mingtian Road and Pedestrian Street ahead.

What seems to be happening?

When Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian approached, those people slowly dispersed.

At the intersection, Cao Xueqian asked a passerby: What happened here just now?

The passerby replied: Someone was hit here just now.

Cao Xueqian asked again: What kind of person is he?

The passerby shook his head: I don't know, I heard about it, and I just came here.

Cao Xueqian said "thank you" and stopped asking.

"Do you suspect that Lin Shushen was hit?" Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqian.

"I don't know, but Lin Shushen didn't come home so late, something must have happened." Cao Xueqian said.

"What if he goes to a friend's house to play?"

"I hope you won't stay so late when you go out to play, right?"

Late at night, there were no tricycles on the streets.

After waiting for a while, the two of them got on a tricycle. When they arrived at Ye Lu's place, it was almost half past eleven.

*

Ye Lu didn't expect her sister and brother-in-law to come back.

She was very surprised.

She cried and repeated: "Shu Shen hasn't come back yet, he hasn't come back yet..."

Ye Lian comforted Ye Lu: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, if you wait a little longer, maybe you will come back?"

Ye Lian understands Ye Lu's mood very well.

This poor little sister lost one of her hands in Shushen's accident last time, and she became frightened.

I hope nothing happens to Shushen this time!

Yaya was sitting on the edge of the bed. Although she was sleepy, she still stared at her big eyes and watched the adults chatting quietly.

Ye Lian walked to Yaya and asked, "Why isn't Yaya still asleep?"

"I have to wait for daddy." Yaya whispered.
