The Bigshot Shocks The World When She Backs Home Chapter 947

Chapter 695 - No Casualties

They studied the map in their hands, cross-referencing the directions with the compass, but there was nothing there.

In the end, Yao Yanordered them to stop and rest for the time being.

Everyone had no choice but to search their search for a little while.

Bai Jing peered at the coordinates on the map, his brows furrowed in confusion. By all appearances, they should be at the right location.

And yet, they couldn’t find the meteorite.

Bai Jing turned toYao Yanand voiced out his speculations.

“Brother Yao, there can’t have been any mistake on the map. Is it possible that the compass is malfunctioning?”

This was a remote forest, after all, and there wasn’t any signal for several miles around.

It would make more sense if the compass was not working.

But if they discarded it now, it would be even unlikely for them to find the specific spot they were looking for, or any specific location, for that matter. It seemed like they had reached a dead end.

Yao Yan looked into the distance as he contemplated their options.

He considered Bai Jing’s deduction, then thought about the helicopter that had crashed earlier.

It had happened in the same area, and might be attributed to a disturbance in the magnetic field of the place.

“We were making our way down the trail we decided to take when a helicopter went out of control and just nosedived into the ground.”

As soon as Yao Tangsaid this,Qin Hao perked up, his eyes wide with shock and worry.

“What happened to the students below? How many casualties were there?”

Cheng Yan was the current director ofNo. 1 High School, and theCheng familyin general was also deeply involved in the institution’s management.

If news broke out that students had died under their watch, it would cause severe damage to the Cheng family’s reputation.

Qin Hao couldn’t even begin to imagine the preposterous conspiracy theories that would pop out from this unfortunate tragedy.

“Those poor children,” Bai Jingremarked in a hushed voice. “What a pity.”

His smile rarely left his charming face, but Yao Tang’s words cast a pall over his otherwise cheerful personality.

Yao Yan looked atYao Tangand waited for her response.

Cheng Yan, on the other hand, was looking elsewhere, his expression unfathomable.

“There were none,” Yao Tangsaid.

“What do you mean, there were none?” Qin Hao demanded, drawing close to her.

“There were no casualties. Nobody died.”

A stunned silence fell over everyone as they stared at Yao Tangin disbelief. Even the usually calmYao Yanlooked incredulous, but he soon heaved a sigh of relief.

It wouldn’t have been surprising to learn that the crash had claimed lives. It was a horrible situation that couldn’t really be blamed on anyone.

But to think that there were no fatalities!

It was unexpected. A good thing for sure, but certainly unexpected.

Those students might have lady luck on their side.

Bai Jing crossed his arms over his chest and wondered out loud again. “Perhaps we might find something at the spot where the helicopter crashed? Something must have messed with its mechanism as well, right? Maybe the meteorite is somewhere around that area.”

His guess wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

Qin Hao was about to second this suggestion when they were interrupted by a sound.

“Hahaha!” Frivolous laughter.

At first, it sounded like it was flitting through the air, then it rushed into their heads as if someone was laughing directly into their ears.

Everyone was on guard in an instant.

“Who’s there? Show yourself!”

The bodyguard behind Cheng Yanunsheathed the dagger from his waist as he surveyed the surroundings. He couldn’t let the young master be injured in the slightest.

They all looked around, but failed to pinpoint the source of the voice.

A fog had crept over them, dense and seemingly endless, as though it wanted to suffocate them.

Little did they know that it only enveloped the area where they stood.

The air grew tense as everyone braced themselves. They had no idea what was going on, and they had yet to see whoever was playing tricks on them.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter was once again heard. This time, it came from somewhere behind them.

They all turned in unison to find a boulder towering over them. A man was perched on top of it, looking down his nose at them.

“Do you know who I am?” he sneered.

Yao Tang, the daughter of the Yao family who mistakenly exchanged at birth, was finally found. Unexpectedly, since her parents felt that she was embarrassing, they never recognized her as their own, and claimed that she was a relative's child who came to live with them. Everyone thought that Yao Tang was just a bloodsucker who was greedy for glory and clung to her "relative's" family. Her father, Yao Feng, registered Yao Tang at the Municipal No.1 Middle School for school. Since Yao Tang failed all of her subjects, she was rejected by the teaching supervisor. When Yao Feng left with Yao Tang, he met the principal of No.1 Middle School. He quickly went up to greet him, but the principal walked past him and tugged at Yao Tang excitedly. "You're finally willing to come to school!" Yao Tang bumped into Cheng Yan, who had once saved her life. Cheng Yan's friends were all convinced that Yao Tang was a gold-digger and waited for her to ask Cheng Yan to pay. When the bill came, Yao Tang quietly rummaged through her bag. Cheng Yan's friend said, "See, she's just stalling for time and waiting for Brother Cheng to pay!" Yao Tang took out a diamond-studded card. "Waiter, how much discount am I given for this card?" The waiter replied, "Honored guest, our diamond black card entitles you to spend here for free!" After that, a group of elite bigshots appeared. The heir of a top corporation posted, "CEO Yao, you've been on leave for a long time. Come back to work!" The international hacker group flooded computer screens everywhere. [To Yao Tang: Boss, it's fine if you don't come back to work, but can you not assault your own database?] When the usually emotionless prince, Cheng Yan, saw his little wife being surrounded, he flipped the table angrily. "Everyone, stay away. This is my wife!"
