Shui Anluo went back into a deep sleep again. Obviously, it was due to Chu Ningyi’s soothing words.
At the first glimmer of light, Chu Ningyi had brought Shui Anluo back to the city before she woke up.
Every news media in ‘A’ City was talking about the matter at Soaring Distance Technologies.
Before Shui Anluo and Chu Ningyi arrived at the district gate, they were stopped by a call from Uncle Chu. He told them not to go home for the time being as their home was surrounded by reporters all looking for Shui Anluo.
The explosion at Soaring Distance Technologies had caused three deaths and seven casualties. The victims’ family members were currently waiting for Shui Anluo at the district gate, asking for an explanation.
Shui Moyun was still lying in the hospital and since Shui Anjiao has been confirmed to not be Shui Moyun’s daughter, the only person these people could look for was Shui Anluo.
After Chu Ningyi ended the call, his frown deepened as he stared at the reporters and troublemakers causing a scene.
The situation was more out-of-control than he had thought.
Shui Anluo slowly woke up. She looked up at Chu Ningyi who had knitted his brows into a tight frown and asked in a hoarse voice, “What’s wrong?”
Chu Ningyi gestured for her to look outside, he had no intentions of keeping her in the dark.
“The family members of the victims from the explosion at Soaring Distance Technologies have found us. We can’t go home for now.” Chu Ningyi was not afraid of them but he was scared that these people might harm Shui Anluo unnecessarily.
Shui Anluo looked up and stared outside.
The sunlight was particularly good as the weather had cleared after a storm.
Reporters with cameras hanging on their necks were walking back and forth as family members of the killed employees carried picket signs demanding justice.
Shui Anluo never thought that her name, Shui Anluo, would one day appear on those picket signs demanding justice which she would usually see outside of the hospital.
“I’ll send someone to deal with this,” Chu Ningyi said and picked up the phone in his hand again.
Shui Anluo reached out and put her hand on his hand, stopping him from making the call. Her gaze, however, was still turned to the scene outside.
“Even if Soaring Distance Technologies really can’t be saved, I don’t want to give outsiders the impression that the Shui Family are a bunch of cowards when a disaster strikes,” Shui Anluo said hoarsely. She then turned her gaze away from the scene outside.
It was nine in the morning and the sunlight was starting to get glaring. Shui Anluo released Chu Ningyi’s hand and turned towards the car door. She placed one hand on the handle and took a deep breath.
Chu Ningyi stared at her petite little figure. This little girl would usually disregard all integrity and admit defeat to him. One could say that she lacked a moral backbone.
However, each time something like this happened, she would refuse to admit defeat and would not even ask him for help.
Chu Ningyi actually resented it because she had chosen to face it on her own.
Shui Anluo took a long while to mentally prepare herself before she opened the door and walked out of the car.
To say that she did not feel nervous would be a lie but at this point in time, no one would care whether she felt nervous or not. They only wanted a conclusion or rather a so-called form of compensation.
Shui Anluo stepped out from the car and Chu Ningyi followed suit.
An eagle-eyed reporter noticed Shui Anluo as she walked over and cried out, “It’s Shui Anluo, it’s Shui Anluo!”
The reporter had shouted very loudly and everyone turned back to look. Some even started charging toward her.
As the lights flashed before her, Shui Anluo knew that there was no turning back.
Even though she now truly regretted it!
Chu Ningyi stood steadily by her side and did not say a word.
Shui Anluo clenched her fists by the side of her body until her nails dug into her palm. The pain brought her back to her senses and when she looked up, her gaze was as clear as ever.
