After Wei Shaoqin hung up the call with Jiang Bei, he drove straight toward the hospital. During the drive, he thought he was staying fully focused on the road conditions, yet two intersections away from the hospital, he was chased down by the traffic police, who checked his documents and issued a ticket. It was only then that he realized he'd run through red lights all the way here.
It felt as though everything in his mind had vanished; he numbly cooperated, numbly listened, although he didn't catch a single word the traffic police said. All he could hear was that one clear sentence from Jiang Bei's call, carved right into his brain. She said:
"Qiqi is missing."
Qiqi is missing. Wei Shaoqin was worried, anxious, uneasy, but all those emotions converged into one thought: 'Qiqi is missing, how heartbroken must Su Mu be.'
