novelYou Must Wake up
| ← Ch.062 | Ch.064 → |
Policemen, gangsters, private detectives...
Elites from all industries got together. Unfortunately, one hour has passed but no traces were found.
Ling Tianyi was more anxious and he was scared now, he had never experienced such a condition. He felt that he was suffocating. He walked around in Haitang Garden Community by himself...
"Don't go that way, young fellow. There's a sewer with no cover. Be careful!" Ling Tianyi came to a path where he was kindly reminded by an old man who seemed that he had just come back from fishing.
"Thank you! Have you seen a girl about this tall in a hat and big glasses this afternoon? If you looked at her carefully, you can see injuries on her face." Ling Tianyi asked, although he did not hope that a passer-by would know the clues of Xia Xiaoluo, he still could not help inquiring about her.
"No, I went fishing early this morning and came back after dark. Anyway, I will help you to ask my family and neighbors?" The old man was enthusiastic.
"Thank you! If you find anything, please contact me as soon as possible." Ling Tianyi handed over the old man a name card.
The old man went home, taking Ling Tianyi's name card. Ling Tianyi walked round anxiously, hitting the light pole in the community with his hands brutally.
"Don't worry, man!" Yao Sheng came over and tapped Ling Tianyi on the shoulder but he was not as careless as before. As a top private detective, he had a premonition of impending doom.
"The police have sent the police dogs good at searching for people! As soon as the police dogs arrive, they will sure to find the person. But now you need to find something which your darling has used and let the police dogs smell it so that they can search for the clues." Yao Sheng said seriously. He was rarely serious.
Ling Tianyi suddenly understood, he hurriedly made a call to the villa, and he let the housekeeper take Xia Xiaoluo's school bag used on weekdays and her clothes to Haitang Garden without explaining the reason. Of course, because of Ling Tianyi's temper, the housekeeper did not dare to ask more.
"Xia Xiaoluo, you wicked girl. Where did you go?" Ling Tianyi suddenly roared. Yao Sheng sighed after seeing it and he hoped that Xia Xiaoluo was alright, otherwise his brother who he knew since childhood was going be crazy. At this point, Yao Sheng was also clearer about Ling Tianyi's affection to the weird girl.
Half an hour later, the police dogs and the housekeeper of the villa arrived at Haitang Garden one after another. Two elite police dogs smelt Xia Xiaoluo's things, then they began to search for people using the animal's sense of smell.
Ling Tianyi followed one of the police dogs. Although the two police dogs started from different places to search, they eventually converged to the place where Ling Tianyi and the old man were talking. Two police dogs barked as if they had found something. Thus, a number of people began searching in the area.
Ling Tianyi suddenly saw the sewer being covered, thinking of the old man said that the sewer cover was gone and reminded him to be careful. Was Xia Xiaoluo, that fool, fallen down into the well?
Ling Tianyi bellowed, "Hurry up, you help me lift the sewer cover. I want to see if anyone has fallen down in the well."
After Ling Tianyi's words, Xia Youfeng which had been following Ling Tianyi around nearly got himself wet in fear. However, Xia Youfeng was the boss of an Estate Company after all, who was also more than 40 years old. He adjusted his mood very quickly, pretending to be calm, and said to Ling Tianyi, "Manager Ling, how would Xiaoluo run into the well? It is impossible! What's more, even if she wanted to go down, she couldn't move such a heavy sewer cover."
"I agree with Manager Ling." The policeman with a police dog said and he looked at the dogs searching around the sewer cover and continued, "My dog called Hei Feng has been searching here all the time. That's why its worth to see what is under the sewer cover."
Yao Sheng saw that. His judgment was the same with Ling Tianyi's. He hurriedly took out the mobile phone, calling up, letting the builders who were responsible for the sewer cover come with tools.
Yao Sheng hung up the phone, looked at Ling Tianyi and carefully asked, "We'd better call an ambulance first. Just in case, I mean in case. If the girl were in the well, early preparation would be helpful."
Ling Tianyi nodded. Yao Sheng immediately dialed 120.
Ling Tianyi had been staring at the sewer cover tightly, which reminded him of the memory with Xia Xiaoluo, from the beginning until now. What happened between him and Xia Xiaoluo went over in his mind like a movie.
Ling Tianyi was very anxious and he muttered to himself, "Little girl, you must not in this well. I'd rather you were naughty and sneaked out to play. Don't be here, girl. As long as you were not here and did not have an accident even if you made many mistakes, I will forgive you, and absolutely do not punish you. You must not be here..."
Soon, a few builders with tools began to lift the cover. After the cover was lifted up, it was too dark inside to see anything, but the two police dogs kept on barking loudly to the mouth of the well. A policeman took the searchlight, looking down, and immediately shouted, "There's someone, there's someone in the well."
Ling Tianyi actually saw that at first sight. That was his girl, but he was able to say nothing. With her body soaked in the water, Xia Xiaoluo was holding a thin iron pipe high with her hands, thus supporting her body to avoid sinking into the water. She seemed to hold something in her hands.
Xia Xiaoluo stood there, without any movement, like a sculpture. Everyone held their breath, because this was the person Ling Tianyi was looking for, and if something went wrong, there might be a storm.
At this time, Ling Tianyi's heart was broken. Eventually, he crawled to the top of the well and prepared to go down. He was going to pick up his little girl. She was his tender girl. He couldn't leave her in the dark well, or she would be scared.
"Get back. Don't get in the way there. Let the police help." Yao Sheng dragged Ling Tianyi who almost went down the well. He was anxious for his old friends who could not control his emotions. If Ling Tianyi's went down, he must delay the aid to Xiao Xiaoluo.
Ling Tianyi could not hear anything. He just wanted to save his little girl. Ling Tianyi refused to listen to his friends like a crazy lion, immediately he fought with Yao Sheng because Yao Sheng stopped him from saving his wife. Yao Sheng was put down on the ground because of his carelessness.
"Ling Tianyi, why are you so crazy?" Yao Sheng immediately jumped up and continued to fight with Ling Tianyi.
Yao Sheng was a detective, naturally with some kung fu. However, Ling Tianyi also studied kung fu. Both sides are well-matched, but Ling Tianyi was unexpectedly suppressed by the other side because he was absent-minded.
They were fighting intensely, while the police had rescued Xia Xiaoluo. Ling Tianyi immediately gave up fighting. Yao Sheng saw Xia Xiaoluo come up from the well, naturally, he did not stop Ling Tianyi. Ling Tianyi rushed to Xia Xiaoluo immediately.
"Wake up, girl! Girl......" Ling Tianyi held Xia Xiaoluo tightly in his arms, feeling Xia Xiaoluo's low body temperature. Ling Tianyi's heart was broken.
Ling Tianyi kept holding Xia Xiaoluo in his arms and did not let anyone touch her, even the doctors could not get close to Xiao Xiaoluo.
"Ling Tianyi, you deserve to be beaten, don't you? If you want Xia Xiaoluo to be alive, you should let the doctors examine and treat her quickly." Yao Sheng roared. He didn't expect that Ling Tianyi who was always calm was out of control, and doing such irrational behaviors. Ling Tianyi seemed to be reminded that he couldn't let the little girl die. He hurriedly shouted to the doctor, "Save her quickly."
The medical staff paused for a moment and then went to work.
"There is still breathing."
"The pulse is weak."
"Oxygen bags! Hurry up!"
The nurses treated Xia Xiaoluo with oxygen. Xia Xiaoluo was carried onto the ambulance toward the hospital to do further rescue. In the ambulance, Ling Tianyi was holding Xia Xiaoluo's cold hands with various fears in the heart. He was afraid that the little girl would disappear.
"The patient is now very weak and she falls into a deep coma, but she is not completely unconscious. Manager Ling, you can try to talk to her about what she likes to hear, encourage her, and ask her to show her will power so that she can live on." The doctor in the ambulance said. At the same time, the doctor arranged the nurses to measure Xia Xiaoluo's blood pressure, intravenous drip, heart rate...
"Girl, you must wake up. I won't punish you. Just wake up and I'll give you a chance to punish me. No, many chances. I can spare time to take you to play and travel, first to the domestic cities. When your English is better, we will go around the world."
Ling Tianyi stopped and frowned, thinking of that Xia Xiaoluo hated studying. So, he quickly changed his words and said, "No, since you don't like it, you don't have to study so hard. I can speak three foreign languages anyway. You can't get lost if you follow me."
"If you don't like to go to school, you won't need to go to school. Or you can go there as you like. It doesn't matter if you fail in the exam."
"We're going to travel and take photos, I will take beautiful photos for you, making your photos as my computer desktop wallpaper and hanging your pictures all over our room."
"We'll go wherever you like. We'll eat whatever you like. We'll buy the clothes you like."
"Xia Xiaoluo, you must be strong, and hold on! You must wake up. I'll promise you anything if you wake up!"
Ling Tianyi kept talking, and he cried into tears. In all these years, perhaps no one or nothing could make him cry.
The medical staffs were touched by Ling Tianyi, who was the president of Huasheng Group and the richest man in A City, that he incredibly said so many touching words to a little girl who was dying, and even cried for her.
In the hospital, Xia Xiaoluo was sent to the emergency room. Ling Tianyi was blocked outside, but he wanted to break in. Yao Sheng who had been driving to follow the ambulance to the hospital stopped him.
"You should not interfere with the doctors." Yao Sheng roared.
"Listen to me. If you want revenge, just tell me. I'll help you with that." Yao Sheng handed out a recording pen to Ling Tianyi, which had been held by Xia Xiaoluo in her hands.
The police took it back to the police station, but Yao Sheng took it secretly. The police did not want to give him, but they made an exception in Ling Tianyi's favor.
