Chapter 979: Chapter 977: Waking Up from the Dream at This Point (1)

"At 2:37 p.m. today, a traffic accident occurred on the Second Ring Road. The car owner was severely injured and suspected to show no signs of life... After verification by our reporters, the car owner is Mr. Han Jingnian, the General Manager of Han Family Enterprises..."

In the female anchor’s report, a picture of the car with its completely destroyed front end, still emitting black smoke, appeared in the video.

With just a glance, Xia Wan’an recognized through the car’s hanging ornament that this was Han Jingnian’s car.

The picture was quickly replaced with a video where ambulances arrived and a man in black suit, his head covered in blood, was carried out of the car. Those people moved swiftly and it took only about a minute before he was placed on the ambulance, but Xia Wan’an saw the cufflinks which she was all too familiar with on the man’s shirt sleeve.

Xia Wan’an’s vision went dark, and she nearly fainted on the spot.

Feeling weak in her limbs, she sat in her chair for quite some time before she clicked her mouse a few times and carefully watched the news from start to finish again. Before she even finished, Xia Wan’an felt so drained that she slumped over the desk.

Just twenty minutes before, Han Jingnian had liked a post in her friend circle. How could such an incident occur twenty minutes later?

The news said... suspected to show no signs of life... What did that mean? Did it mean Han Jingnian had died on the spot?

Xia Wan’an felt like she was suddenly unable to breathe. She exerted an enormous amount of effort just to pick up her phone and, with trembling fingers, dialed a number.

Zhang Te’s phone was busy...

Xia Wan’an kept calling, trying several times, but the situation was the same, until she thought about contacting someone else, when her phone received an incoming call—it was Zhang Te, who had been on another call, returning her call.

Xia Wan’an’s fingers trembled as she answered the call, "Assistant Zhang, that news is... is..."

Xia Wan’an, out of fear, didn’t dare to ask more.

Assistant Zhang, on the other side of the call and seemingly knowing what she wanted to ask, replied with an unusually heavy tone, "Yes."

It was just one word, but Xia Wan’an’s phone slipped from her hand with a "snap" and landed on the desk.

The phone call wasn’t disconnected, and Xia Wan’an could vaguely hear Assistant Zhang’s voice, "It’s true, General Manager Han has now been taken to Dr. Xie’s. However, the situation is not looking good..."

Xia Wan’an didn’t know what Assistant Zhang continued to say. By the time she had somewhat regained her senses, the call had already been hung up.

She picked up her phone, hailed a car, and then stood up, heading towards the door. She had only walked a couple of steps when her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground. She tried to get up, but she couldn’t muster any strength at all.

Chen Qingtian, sitting outside Xia Wan’an’s office, heard the commotion and, puzzled, pushed open the door to her office. Seeing Xia Wan’an in such a sorry state, he rushed in anxiously, "Director Xia, what’s wrong?"

Without speaking, Xia Wan’an let Chen Qingtian help her up and then she tried to take a step, realizing that her legs were too weak to support her. She allowed Chen Qingtian to continue supporting her to the car that was already waiting downstairs.

When Xia Wan’an arrived at the hospital, Dr. Xie Lin’s office was already filled with people. Apart from the Han Family, there were also shareholders of the Han Family Enterprises, and even Cheng Tongyi and Xia Chen’an, who had received the news, were there.

Xia Wan’an reached the outermost edge of the crowd, and before she could say anything, she heard Dr. Xie Lin’s voice say, "Old Mrs. Han, please accept my condolences."
