Chapter 695 - 682: Running Against Time

She hastily opened her wallet, "How much money? I’ll pay. I’m in a hurry... Since the problem occurred when I hailed the taxi, I’ll take responsibility!"

"That’s not right!" The driver insisted, "We can’t let him off easily! He’s clearly not following the rules!"

"Hey..." The other person stubbornly retorted, "Do you think I care about that dirty money? I don’t need your money! We’ll wait for the traffic police to come and sort this out!"

Yu Sangwan furrowed her eyebrows in frustration, "Please, both of you, I’m really in a hurry... Can we settle this privately?"

"Hey... the traffic police are here!"

As the traffic police arrived, the two started chattering more loudly, each insisting they’re right, causing the officer to be overwhelmed, "Alright, neither of you want to back down... The car will be towed, and you’re coming to the station with me!"

"Fine, let’s go then! Who’s afraid of whom?" the driver defiantly raised his chin, "I have a witness!"

He pointed at Yu Sangwan.

Yu Sangwan was panicked, quickly saying, "Officer, I’m in a hurry right now..."

The officer interrupted her before she could finish, "That’s your personal affair... Now we handle this according to procedure, and since you were in the car, you come along too?"

"What?" Yu Sangwan’s eyes widened, her temper flaring up, "I can’t go to the station with you now! I need to leave immediately!"

The officer raised an eyebrow, "Getting aggressive now?"

"Just you wait!" Yu Sangwan immediately pulled out her phone, dialing her father Fu Xianlin, but at that moment, Fu Xianlin was in a meeting, and the call wouldn’t go through!

The officer sneered, "Hmph... let’s go? Acting tough, thinking there’s some rescue? Violating street rules, causing trouble? Disrespecting an officer! Take them all away!"

Yu Sangwan checked her wristwatch, realizing that the originally ample time was wasted by this commotion, unacceptable... She couldn’t afford any more delays!

Suddenly, she bumped hard against the officer, who was caught off guard and stumbled aside, and in that moment of opportunity, Yu Sangwan took off running!

"Damn! Don’t run!"

Yu Sangwan didn’t listen, not daring to look back, just kept her head down and ran forward! At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind, that she must get there before the press conference starts and stand beside Helian Si!

"Ah..."

Amidst the bustling traffic and crowds, Yu Sangwan had never run this fast before, but was soon separated by the crowd. As her ankle twisted, "Ah!"

Yu Sangwan fell heavily to the ground, and only then she realized the heel of her left shoe had broken! What to do? How could she run with one high heel and one short? In desperation, she removed her shoes, held them in her arms, disregarding everything and continued forward.

She tried to hail a taxi while running, but at this time, it was difficult to catch one.

With no other choice, Yu Sangwan could only continue running.

At this time, Guan Chao, Helian Si watched the time pass second by second, his expression gradually darkening.

He waited for her hour after hour; if she really cared... how could she break her promise again and again?

The door opened, Ou Guanshen walked in, "Mr. President, it’s time for the meeting, it’s time to prepare."

Running barefoot, getting closer to the time, Yu Sangwan’s face was soaked with sweat.

"Ah..."

She gasped for breath when suddenly a sharp pain pierced her foot!

Yu Sangwan furrowed her brow, forced to stop her steps, squatted by the roadside to find that her foot had been cut and blood was swirling out.

What to do? Yu Sangwan gritted her teeth, couldn’t help complaining, "Why so unlucky? Is heaven testing me? Can’t I make it to him properly?"

At this moment, she had already reached the main road leading to Guan Chao, where fewer vehicles passed by. Yu Sangwan looked around and realized she could only rely on herself.

She forced herself to stand up, but as soon as her foot touched the ground, it hurt so much that she recoiled, seeing the spot she stepped on stained with fresh blood!

"Ah..." Yu Sangwan was in such pain, her whole leg trembled! Looking ahead, she can’t stay here... Today, if Helian Si doesn’t wait for her, then they really have no chance! Men, if they hold grudges, are no less than women.

With a deep breath, Yu Sangwan dragged her injured leg forward.

But she couldn’t walk fast and could only inch forward bit by bit. Everywhere she passed, there was a striking path of red...

At this moment, at Guan Chao.

Helian Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, "Thankfully, Helian Si went to the meeting, Meng Shu, really thank your brother today."

"You’re too kind." Qin Mengshu smiled, glanced at the reporters’ hall, "Sister, the reporters there... how do you plan to handle it?"

"Disperse them!" Helian Shuang frowned, having been through such chaos, she was also quite annoyed and only wanted some peace.

But Qin Mengshu grabbed her arm, "But now, Secretary Ou isn’t here? In such an important occasion, how can we say let’s disperse randomly? Reporters have been waiting for so long, ending so casually is bad for Helian Si’s reputation."

"Hmm."

Helian Shuang nodded, "I didn’t consider thoroughly, then I’ll go."

"Ah." Qin Mengshu smiled and nodded, linking arms with Helian Shuang, "I have nothing to do, may I accompany you?"

Helian Shuang glanced at her, a glimmer of sharpness flashed through her eyes, and smiled, "Meng Shu, you’re really a clever girl... I knew I wasn’t wrong about you."

Qin Mengshu blushed slightly, "Sister, I haven’t thought of anything... It’s really for Helian Si’s sake!"

"Alright, alright." Helian Shuang laughed and patted her hand.

"That’s indeed most important. If you accompany me later, no need to say anything... With such a press conference today, even if you don’t say a word, the reporters will speculate... Your name linked with Helian Si’s, it’s as good as clearing his name!"

Helian Shuang became more excited as she spoke, "Yes! Why didn’t I think of this earlier? Look at me, utterly confused in panic! Meng Shu, you’re so dedicated to Helian Si, it’s his fortune!"

Qin Mengshu’s lips curled into a smile, her head slightly inclined, "You flatter me, Sister. Let’s go quickly! Don’t let the reporters wait too long."

"Alright..."

The door to the reporters’ hall opened, Helian Shuang led Qin Mengshu inside.

A stir erupted inside, Helian Shuang stood on stage, smiling and waving to the audience, "Everyone, we’re truly sorry today... The originally scheduled press conference couldn’t proceed because Helian President is busy attending to urgent state affairs."

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Qin Mengshu beside her.

Helian Si slightly nodded, stood up, and calmly responded, "Hmm."

He continued saying, "However, even if he were here, the statement remains the same... His relationship with Yu Sangwan, Yu the reporter, is purely professional, although there’s an aunt’s relation by marriage, it has never been mentioned, not to mention other emotional entanglements."

Qin Mengshu smiled and nodded, echoing, "The Qin Family and Helian Family have generations of friendly relations, always upholding etiquette as families. We believe there must have been misunderstandings. We hope everyone will help clarify when they return."

Upon hearing this, the reporters below had expressions that were quite varied.
