'It can't be Wu Sheng. It's impossible. He already called to say he was safe, that he was coming back soon.'
Because of that call, she had been able to relax a little. She could even sleep at night, just waiting for Wu Sheng to return safely...
'Not Wu Sheng, not Wu Sheng...'
Amidst Su Li's silent chant—or perhaps it was a prayer—of 'Not Wu Sheng,' Wu Qihua's voice came through, sharp and clear.
"Su Li, Wu Sheng's been in an accident. He's on his way back to the Imperial City by air right now. I've arranged for someone to pick you up at the school gate."
Wu Qihua's voice was thick with emotion, and she spoke extremely quickly.
But Su Li heard it. She heard every single word.
A roar went through her head, and then her mind went completely blank.
"Impossible, impossible..."
Wu Qihua's voice came through again.
"Su Li, I know you can't believe it. I can't believe it either. But I've already confirmed it. It's true."
