Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

The loud explosion shatters the windows of shops on both sides of the road. Some people running out of the restaurant are screaming in panic. Other calm people are calling the police.

Wuyou rushes over and the fire scorches her hair instantly. She doesn’t care about that and just runs quickly.

“Wuyou!” Shirla runs to hug her and says, “You can’t go there.”

Wuyou immediately turns back. Shirla is shocked by her eyes.

Her eyes are full of desperation and extreme anxiety.

“Don’t move. Let me go there!” Shirla pushes her back and rushes in.

Shirla knows such a big thing must aim at her. She is afraid to think how to tell Wuyou if Lang Xuanyuan really dies.

“Come back.” A hand pulls her back out of the fire.

Shirla is burned and cries loudly, “Wuyou, I can’t find him. Lang Xuanyuan isn’t inside.”

The sound of a police whistle comes from afar. The fire truck arrives first to put out the fire soon. The burning car only has a black shelf and will be scattered when touched. Then the ambulance comes and the paramedics want to send Wuyou and Shirla to the hospital because they are wounded.

“Find him! A person is there.” Shirla wants to run to the car.

Wuyou stops her, “We don’t need to go there.” 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

The Tang Family quickly go to the hospital after receiving a phone call. Tang Duo doesn’t know the situation. So she hides the news from Bai Susu and Tang Yao. When she goes to the hospital with Tang Cao and Lang Ruoxian, they see Wuyou and Shirla who suffer burns.

“Where is Gungun?” Tang Duo’s heart sinks.

Shirla suddenly kneels down and says, “It’s all my fault. Let me go to kill the murderers. Then Lang Xuanyuan...”

She can’t continue to speak. Tang Duo sways a little and Lang Ruoxian holds her arms.

“Wuyou,” Lang Ruoxian says, “Tell me what happened.”

Wuyou looks terrible at this time. Her hair is burned and her face has red and dark splodges. But her eyes are still calm, “I checked the scene and only found the driver’s body there.”

“So Gungun is fine, isn’t he?” Tang Cao asks with shaking hands.

Shirla’s dim eyes suddenly flash after she hears Wuyou’s words. Shirla says, “Yes. I didn’t think of it!”

The corpse must be found even if it’s blasted to pieces. Although ordinary people can’t find it, Wuyou is really clear about that.

Soon, the police also give them investigation results. The bomb is put in the car and the driver has already died. As long as the driver’s corpse is moved, it will trigger the detonating device.

Now only one corpse is found as well as a watch blown to bits by the explosion.

The policemen quickly send the watch to the hospital.

“This is Gungun’s watch.” Tang Duo bursts into tears, holding the watch. She asks, “So where is he?”

The policemen show them the photos of the scene. The driver’s corpse is damaged by the explosion. Gungun was close to the driver at that time. But he disappears.

“I’ve asked people to find him nearby. The police are also looking for him.” Lang Ruoxian hugs her and says, “The blast wave is very powerful. If Gungun is fine, he must take some actions to protect himself. It’s possible that he is blown off.”

Tang Cao is calling to make use of all his relationships to find Gungun. Chen Xiaopang and Tong Yue also come to the hospital. Although everyone is anxious, they have to calm down.

“Don’t worry,” Tang Cao comforts Tang Duo, “Gungun is not dead as long as we don’t see his corpse. We must find him.”

Shirla’s injury is more serious than Wuyou. The doctor asks her to be in hospital after dealing with her wounds. But Shirla refuses and holds Wuyou’s hand.

She says, “I’ll go to kill them. Wait for me.” Then she runs out of the hospital.

Tang Duo is worried when seeing that. She says, “Wuyou, let Shirla come back. She is alone...”

“Mom, let her go.” Wuyou’s face is covered by gauze. Tang Duo is so sad to see it and doesn’t dare to touch it.

“Does it hurt? Let’s go home first.”

They come back to Bai Susu’s house. It’s impossible for them to conceal it from Bai Susu because it’s a big thing. Sure enough, they find that the news has been reported on the way back. But the truth is hided and it becomes an accident of sudden spontaneous combustion of the car.

“Does anyone hurt?” When they come back, Bai Susu and Tang Yao are watching TV and the news is talking about it.

When Bai Susu and Tang Yao turn back, they are shocked by Wuyou’s appearance.

“What’s the matter?”

Tang Duo cries loudly all of a sudden. Tang Yao feels something wrong and almost faints when he doesn’t see Gungun. He stutters, “Is the car’s explosion...”

“Mom, Dad, don’t worry.” Tang Cao has to tell them at this time.

Bai Susu falls on the sofa as soon as she hears that. Tang Yao also covers his chest and lies down. Other people hurry to let them take medicine. After a long time, Bai Susu opens her eyes slowly.

She suddenly gives a plaintive cry, “How about Gungun? Where is he?”

“Mom, we are still looking for him,” Tang Duo says with tears, “We still have hopes now.”

After more than 20 years, the Tang Family once again falls into a dead silence and everyone is so sad. Fang Diandian takes kids to Tang Duo’s house. When all kids are asleep, she comes here.

Tang Cao has already told her on the phone what happened. Fang Diandian doesn’t believe that Gungun is dead. She thinks that they must find him.

At 2 o’clock in the morning, they all sit in the hall and no one moves. Suddenly, Lang Ruoxian’s phone rings. He has a look at the number and answers the phone.

“Okay. Carry out your plan. We’ll pay all the expenses.”

“Yes. If you don’t find him, you should try more times. You can also drain the lake.”

After he hangs up, everyone is looking at him nervously.

“The police said they found one of Gungun’s shoes in the artificial lake behind the restaurant.”

“Artificial lake...” Tang Duo quickly stands up and runs out. She says, “I’ll go to find him. He must fall into the lake. I have to find him!”

“Sister! Calm down,” Tang Cao hugs her and says, “You can do nothing even if you go there. Brother-in-law has allowed them to look for Gungun.”

Tang Duo screams, “He falls into the lake! Fall into the lake!”

“Mom!” Fang Diandian instantly shouts because Bai Susu faints again.

She doesn’t wake up after taking the medicine again. Lang Ruoxian immediately calls an ambulance. Then Fang Diandian and Tang Yao goes to the hospital to accompany Bai Susu. When the rest of them return to the living room, Wuyou has already disappeared.

“She must go to look for Gungun!” Tang Duo turns pale and hurries to say, “Call her quickly. Don’t let her be impulsive.”

But when Tang Cao is about to call, he is stopped by Lang Ruoxian.

“Wuyou just sent a text message to me.” Lang Ruoxian shows his phone to them.

There is only one line on it.

“Dad, I’ll look for him in the artificial lake. Don’t worry.”

“Wuyou has a diving license. Let her go there.” Lang Ruoxian pats Tang Duo.

Tang Duo sobs. Lang Ruoxian embraces her. Tang Cao lowers his head and sits on the opposite sofa. They can do nothing but to wait and hope Wuyou can bring them good news.

They wait for a night. In the next morning, Fang Diandian calls them that Bai Susu is fine and wants to go back. Tang Duo can’t stop her because Bai Susu can’t live in the hospital at this time.

The housemaid brings breakfast to the sitting room with red eyes. After Bai Susu comes back, in order to let her have breakfast, they all eat a little without knowing its taste.

Wuyou doesn’t call back. The police don’t contact them, either. When the kids get up in the morning and don’t find their elders, An’an runs here with Sweet Orange and Baobao.

“Mom, you leave me alone but stay with my younger sister!” Baobao hugs Fang Diandian sadly and has tears in his eyes.

Fang Diandian embraces him and says, “She is young and has to drink milk in the evening. Now she is asleep upstairs now. Can you help me to look after her?”

Baobao is assigned a task and goes upstairs with a serious face.

But it’s hard to cheat An’an and Sweet Orange. An’an is clever especially.

“Dad, what happened?” An’an asks with a tight face.

Lang Ruoxian rubs between his eyebrows. He looks not bad even if he doesn’t sleep all night. But Tang Duo in his arms looks pale and her eyes are red and swollen, which is easy to find that something wrong with her.

“Something happened to your elder brother. Now we can’t find him.” Lang Ruoxian tries to say in a relaxing tone. But little kids are very susceptible to emotion. An’an feels it is not true.

But he also knows that he’d better listen to them at this moment and doesn’t make trouble.

“Where’s my brother?” Sweet Orange can’t think like An’an. She asks with tears, “Will he never come back like great grandma?”

Other people’s faces look worse. Sweet Orange cries all of a sudden.

“I want my brother to come back! He can’t go to see great grandma alone...”

Tang Duo holds her tears back and hugs her daughter in her arms. She says, “No. He just can’t go back for the time being. Wuyou is looking for him.”

“When can she find him?” Sweet Orange wants to know the exact time.

Tang Duo feels sad and doesn’t know how to reply. Lang Ruoxian puts Sweet Orange in his arms.

“Soon. They may come back when you wake up tomorrow.”

Sweet Orange still wants to say something. But An’an stops her, “Let’s go upstairs to see our younger sister.”

Tang Duo starts to cry loudly after the two kids leave. They have no information all night. The hope becomes less as the time goes by. She looks at Lang Ruoxian blankly. When Lang Ruoxian wants to comfort her, his phone rings.

“Wuyou.” Lang Ruoxian quickly answers the phone.

Wuyou says something in the phone. Then he hangs up soon.

“The police, our people and Wuyou looked for him in the lake all night and found nothing. Now they prepare to use equipment to pump the water out of the artificial lake. If...”

“If they still don’t find Gungun, it means that Gungun is taken away by someone!” Bai Susu says definitely.

Lang Ruoxian nods. In fact, he has already thought about it. A person’s body can’t disappear without any reasons. It’s not a cliff or sea. How can Gungun disappear?

“But... Who can take Gungun away in that situation?” Tang Cao doesn’t understand. Even if Gungun takes some actions to protect himself, he must be seriously injured.

Lang Ruoxian’s eyes flash. He immediately calls Shu Sheng to check all the hospitals and clinics in Yanjing. All the places that people can see doctors should be investigated.

“Tang Cao.” Bai Susu says, “Call Xiaopang to let your friends check it.”
