The rural daughter-in-law of the bank president

Chapter 114 Lost Contact

Lele immediately dialed Wei Wuya's number, "The number you dialed cannot be connected!"

Hit again, still the same.

Lele was going crazy. She regretted so much why she broke her promise on the weekend!

But now is not the time to regret.

She called Lin Xianglan many times, but the line was always busy. It took a long time before she finally got through.

"Mom, are you okay?"

"Le Le, we are fine, but we can't contact Wu Ya." Lin Xianglan's voice on the other end of the phone was anxious and almost crying.

"Can't get through to the bank?" Lele's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition enveloped his mind.

"We can't get through. We've been trying to call him since the earthquake this afternoon, but we can't get through. We were just looking for him, but we couldn't get through. We're going to drive over there ourselves later." Lin Xianglan was getting anxious, and her voice was shaking the more she spoke.

"Mom, please contact me immediately if anything happens." Lele hung up the phone, a little dazed.

She left the laboratory, rushed into the dormitory, turned on the computer and the TV, and did not miss any news about the earthquake.

The news from the Earthquake Bureau was like a thunderclap, making Lele very uneasy. The latest revision was 8.0 on the Richter scale.

Shocking video clips and images constantly scroll through the news: collapsed buildings, crumbling bridges, cracked earth, and scattered bricks and stones... Behind all of this, perhaps lives are buried...

"31.0 degrees north latitude, 103.4 degrees east longitude, ..."

"The earthquake's shockwaves spread rapidly, causing heavy casualties and losses in neighboring counties and cities..."

"In Jinquan, which borders the epicenter, the damage is also severe. Even in areas farther from the epicenter..."

When Lele heard the word Jinquan, his head exploded.

Lele was so nervous that he was trembling. He bent his left index finger and bit the knuckle with his teeth. He didn't even feel it when it broke.

She rushed out of the dormitory and ran to Teacher Ji's office.

Teacher Ji was there, and many teachers from the Department of Psychology were also there. They were also very concerned about the earthquake. As a psychology major at a prestigious university, they often had to provide psychological assistance as soon as possible.

Lele cast an anxious look at Teacher Ji, who sensed it and walked out of the crowd.

"Teacher Ji, I have to go back right away." Lele's voice was a little hoarse and his emotions were a little out of control.

"What's wrong?" Teacher Ji asked with concern, "Do you have any relatives in the epicenter?"

"No, my husband is in Jinquan, which is next door and was also severely affected. Besides, I can't contact him now." Lele bit her lip, her eyes filled with tears, and she felt like she was about to cry.

"Well, you go back first. We'll probably rush to the disaster area after we finalize the members of the aid team in the next few days. It's normal for communications to be lost after such a large earthquake. Your husband will be fine. Don't scare yourself."

We'll contact you when we get there! There are more people who need us, so you have to stay calm." Teacher Ji comforted Lele like an elder.

"Well, thank you, Teacher Ji." Lele pursed his lips, said goodbye to his teacher and classmates, went back to the dormitory to quickly pack his things, called to book a flight at the nearest time, and rushed to the airport.

Si Zeming originally wanted to find Lele to ask about the situation in the afternoon. When he opened his phone and saw that the location was heading towards the airport, his heart skipped a beat.

He picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally called Lele.

"Hmm..." The phone was connected, but he didn't know what to say.

"......" Lele was in a taxi and answered the phone, but there was still silence.

"Are you okay?" Zeming's voice was cold but with a hint of tenderness.

Lele was silent for a moment, "I'm fine, I'm going home now."

"Well, if you need anything, contact me." Zeming paused and finally stopped talking.

"it is good!"

Before boarding the plane, Lele called Lin Xianglan again, "Mom, how is the situation?"

"There's still no news. Grandpa has contacted the army and will notify us as soon as there's any news. We're already on the way." Lin Xianglan's voice was a little hoarse and tired.

"Okay, Mom, I'm already on the plane, I'm going back too!"

"Well, don't worry too much, he should be fine. The bank building is sturdy. He must be at work during working hours. He just lost contact." When Lin Xianglan talked about losing contact, she could no longer hold back and started crying.

Lele hung up the phone, turned off the phone, and stroked it, tears welling up in her eyes. "Wei Wulai, you have to be fine! Nothing can happen to you!"

As soon as the plane landed, Lele turned on his phone and saw countless missed calls from Lin Xianglan. He quickly called her.

"The number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment!"

They should have arrived at Jinquan.

Just when Lele was a little confused, Wei Qifeng's phone rang, "Lele, have you arrived in Longquan?"

"Dad, I'm here. The plane just landed." Lele wondered why Wei Qifeng's phone could be dialed.

"I'm in Longquan too. The head office is holding a meeting to urgently deploy emergency measures. Mom is at the Jinquan City Military District Command, and grandpa is there too. When you get there, go directly there. They are deploying a search and rescue plan. You keep an eye on Mom and don't let her fall." Wei Qifeng is a man after all. Although his voice is hoarse, he can still be heard to be very calm.

"Brother, is there something wrong?" Lele asked, trying to hold back tears.

"Wu Ya is not in the bank. He went out to visit clients at noon..." Wei Qifeng's voice was a little choked, "...We still can't contact him now...The main road he passed by was blocked...Cars couldn't pass...So we don't know the situation now." Wei Qifeng's voice became lower and lower.

Lele's tears kept rolling around, and she didn't dare to speak. After a while, she said, "Dad, my brother will be fine. He's so smart, he knows how to protect himself."

While comforting others, I burst into tears myself.

Wei Qifeng was silent for a while. "Yes, I can contact grandpa. Please wait a moment, I will call a car to pick you up and take you there."

Lele waited at the airport for more than half an hour. She stood outside, feeling extremely anxious.

The phone rang and Lele answered it. It was the driver. After a while, a Buick commercial vehicle slowly drove towards her.

When they arrived at the Jinquan City Military District Headquarters, Lele met his grandfather and Lin Xianglan.

Both of them looked extremely haggard.

Especially my grandfather, his energy and spirit disappeared in an instant.

Lin Xianglan's usual refinement was gone.

His hair was disheveled and his face was pale, as if all his wrinkles were visible.

When I saw Lele, I hugged Lele and started crying.

Lele's tears finally burst out and she couldn't hold them back.

The two women hugged each other and cried for a long time.

The troops have deployed a search and rescue route, but cars cannot pass through and it will take several days for traffic to be restored. A team has been sent to go there on foot.

Not many people could be mobilized, and most of the troops were deployed to prepare for rescue immediately.
