Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten Chapter 1499 - Something Bad Has Happened

In the pitch-black night, the dust that filled the sky was mixed with the sll of gunpowder.

The area around the broken railing was dark and unlit. Other than the road, illuminated by streetlights, they could not see anything under the cliff.

“Yun Xi...Yun Xi...!” Chen Yichen shouted at the top of his lungs at the dust that filled the sky. His voice was drowned out by the fireworks that bood from the area near the banquet venue.

With shaking hands, he pulled out his phone and dialed a string of numbers, but before the call could connect, it disconnected almost imdiately.

He lowered his head and realized that there was no signal on his phone. He could not make a phone call.

Panic and anxiety overwheld him instantly. He quickly ran back to the car and opened the door. He extended his hand to Xu Han. “Give your phone. I want to call for help.”

Xu Han took out his phone and handed it over with much difficulty. It was taking him a long ti to recover from the nausea and dizziness he was experiencing from the collision.

Unlocking Xu Han’s phone, Chen Yichen realized that his phone wasn’t working either. With trembling hands, he almost smashed the phone on the ground.

“How could this be...? Why is there no signal on our phones?”

If he could not make a call, he could not inform the people on the mountain. If he could not inform the people on the mountain, he could not save Yun Xi and Mu Feichi.

“It must be...it must be because the signal on the mountain is poor. We have to try to walk up the mountain, calling as we go. I guess we’ll have to walk back to the villa to seek help.”

Since their car was completely damaged, they definitely couldn’t drive it anymore. The only thing they could do now was to return to the villa on foot and get help.

Chen Yichen helped Xu Han out of the driver’s seat. The two of them hobbled as fast as they could toward the villa with heavy and stumbling steps.

...

Huo Tingxiao and Yan Shuo were talking by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the banquet hall. When the first explosion sounded, everyone in the banquet hall was shocked. Then ca a second explosion that was the fireworks.

However, the two by the window could tell that sothing was wrong.

Yan Shuo reacted fast and turned to look at Huo Tingxiao. He frowned and said, “Sothing is wrong. That first sound was not fireworks.”

Huo Tingxiao nodded and turned to look at Jiang Chenghuan, who was standing talking with Zhao Yumo. He said, “Jinzhi has been gone for a long ti and hasn’t co back. I’m worried that sothing bad has happened.”

“Give them a call and ask them what’s going on...” Yan Shuo turned and looked at the fireworks outside the window. The sound of the fireworks had attracted many guests to the balcony. It was not convenient for them to talk with so many people around.

Huo Tingxiao took out his phone and looked at it. The signal bar on his phone was strangely empty. He looked up, startled.

“My phone has no signal!”

Yan Shuo took out his phone and took a look. His face darkened. “It’s the sa for .”

Even though they were at the top of a mountain, they had already confird that their phones worked before coming here and had even made calls. It was impossible that there would suddenly be no signal on everyone’s cell phones at the sa ti.

There was only one possibility. Sothing bad had happened.

“Stay here and give Second Master Jiang a heads-up. I’ll handle it.”

The disappearance of two leaders from the three noble families could easily cause panic. There were too many people here, and, if sothing was really happening, it would be safer for the guests to stay here.

Yan Shuo nodded and looked at the figure who was leaving with a dark expression. He then noticed Commander Mu walking toward them. He frowned and shook his head.

Mu Chongli was a soldier after all. When he saw Yan Shuo’s expression, he knew that sothing bad had happened.

“What’s going on? Why hasn’t that boy of mine returned yet?!” Mu Chongli swept his gaze over the guests, but he did not see Mu Feichi or Yun Xi.

“That first sound wasn’t fireworks. I am worried that sothing bad has happened...”

“What...?” Mu Chongli looked out of the window. The fireworks were exploding in the sky, and the loud noise drowned out the lively atmosphere in the banquet hall.
