The aftermath of the explosion caused the windows of all cars passing by to shatter into pieces.
Ye Xingguang had no clue what was going on. Glass shards from the vehicle’s windows sliced her neck, causing blood to bead up instantly on her skin. Her head hit something due to the inertia, causing a ringing in her ears.
Almost instinctively, she scrambled out of the car for self-rescue.
As soon as she alighted, another explosion boomed in her ears. Fire soared high into the black night, turning it into daylight, blinding her completely.
In the Ye’s Family mansion, Xiao Yun strode into the living room.
“Lord Qing, an accident happened!”
Ye Junqing was lying on the living room sofa, receiving intravenous fluids. There was a pile of tissues used for a cold in the trash can next to the sofa. Normally full of vigor, he appeared listless at the moment. Without having the energy to even lift his eyelids, he simply closed his eyes and commanded, “Speak.”
Xiao Yun spoke urgently: “There’s been a massive explosion at the Kirala gas station, which has the city’s largest oil reserve. Lord Ting’s motorcade happened to be refueling there when the explosion occurred. The situation is unclear at this moment.”
“What did you just say?” Ye Junqing’s eyes snapped open, his voice deadly quiet. “Say that again!”
Xaio Yun immediately pulled out his cell phone, showing Ye Junqing the videos uploaded by netizens: “The fires have already spread to the houses near the gas station. It is reported that the death toll has exceeded a hundred. The fire department has dispatched numerous vehicles to the rescue. I called the captain of Lord Ting’s bodyguards, but nobody picked up. But when the explosion occurred, I was actually chatting with the captain, and he mentioned that they were refueling there. Now, I’m can’t reach him…”
Xiao Yun’s words made Ye Junqing’s heart sink. In the video, fire was shooting up into the sky, causing a pile-up in the surrounding motorway. Then, his sharp eyes spotted a car.
The next second, Ye Junqing paused the video, moved the progress bar back, and replayed the video again.
After checking it twice, he recognized the car with all its windows shattered. It was the car Ye Xingguang usually rode in.
He immediately took out his phone and dialed Ye Xingguang, but no one answered.
“Call the driver who transports Little Fish Tail right now,” he commanded urgently, revealing his concern.
Xaio Yun hesitated for a second: “Lord Qing, who is Little Fish Tail?”
Unconcerned that he had unintentionally blurted out his nickname for Ye Xingguang, the tall man, despite his high fever and dizziness, stood up and said, “Ye Xingguang!”
“… Yes.” As soon as Xiao Yun contacted the driver, he immediately handed the phone to Ye Junqing.
Ye Junqing took the phone: “Speak! How is Ye Xingguang doing now?”
“Lord… Lord Qing… Miss Ye ran into the blaze.”
The driver’s words exploded like an atomic bomb in Ye Junqing’s heart.
The once formidable man roared in fury, “What did you say? Why did she run into the blaze?!”
“There was an explosion at the nearby gas station while I was driving Miss Ye home, and we were impacted by the residual force of the explosion. Miss Ye got out of the car and started doing live reporting with her phone. Hearing that Lord Ting’s motorcade was at the gas station at the time, Miss Ye dashed into the gas station engulfed by towering flame…”
Before the driver could finish speaking, Ye Junqing’s vision turned black for a moment. Then, he abruptly removed the IV needle, swiftly got up, and began to stride towards the door. His voice wasn’t shaky, rather it was eerily calm, “Quickly, prepare the car! No, prepare the plane!”
