Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Don’t Be Afraid!

Sheng Ting hurried through the crowd and arrived in front of Shen Weiyi. Looking at the figure in front of her—fatigued, worried, shrouded in darkness, with a head drooping weakly—pity involuntarily flickered in his eyes, "I’m sorry, I came back late." He hadn’t been able to be with her at the first sign of trouble. She must have been so scared that night!

Shen Weiyi looked up at him, surprise flashing through her tired eyes, "Why have you come back?" Shouldn’t he be in the laboratory in Jing City right now?

Sheng Ting touched her head and said, "I heard about Uncle Shen’s situation. How is it now?"

He had been in the laboratory all day yesterday. It was strict there, and due to confidentiality reasons, mobile phones weren’t allowed inside. He only saw the message from Shen Jingqi late at night. He hadn’t been able to buy a plane ticket, so he had driven all night to get back.

Shen Weiyi shook her head, "No news yet."

"Is it confirmed that Uncle was on the plane?"

Secretary Jiang has confirmed it. My dad was indeed on this flight back to the country." Saying this, Shen Weiyi’s eyes couldn’t help but redden slightly. She hadn’t cried when she heard about the accident involving Shen Juanzhi’s flight. She had waited for news all night and still hadn’t cried, but seeing Sheng Ting, she felt her tears were somewhat uncontrollable.

Shen Weiyi hurriedly lowered her head, not wanting to show her vulnerability in front of others.

Sheng Ting held her hand tightly and squatted down in front of her, pressing her head into his embrace, "Don’t be afraid. It’s also possible that Uncle didn’t even board the plane."

Shen Weiyi knew he was comforting her. If Shen Juanzhi hadn’t boarded the flight, how could it be that they still couldn’t reach him on his phone?

Yet her heart couldn’t help but harbor a sliver of hope.

What if?

Shen Weiyi wasn’t religious, but at that moment, she found herself wishing for divine favor. If only Shen Juanzhi could return safely, she was willing to believe in a higher power.

Leaning into his embrace, Shen Weiyi felt a trace of warmth, a sliver of temperature in the cold December air. She suppressed the fear and worry in her heart and asked, "How are things at the lab?"

"My professor and senior are staying there, and the subsequent contract signing and cooperation will be discussed by my professor with their responsible person." Sheng Ting’s voice rose in her ear.

Shen Weiyi leaned back slightly from his embrace and looked up at him, "But you are the primary responsible person for the experiment."

Sheng Ting looked down at her, "Experiments are important, but not as important as people."

"Thank you, Sheng Ting."

She said that, but Shen Weiyi knew that not everyone had the chance to encounter such a cooperative opportunity, and the position of the experiment’s chief person was crucial.

During this time, Secretary Jiang received a phone call. The look he gave Shen Weiyi carried a glint of brightness: "One piece of good news and one piece of bad news. The good news is, Mr. Shen might not have boarded the flight; someone found his phone at the airport. The bad news is, Mr. Shen is now missing and we can’t contact him."

He had checked all domestic flights besides the one that had lost contact and hadn’t found any other boarding information related to him. This meant he might still be on the missing flight or still abroad.

But if he hadn’t boarded the flight, he would surely have been in touch by now.

Yet there had been no contact.

This meant that even if he hadn’t boarded, something must have happened to him.

But compared to a missing plane, a missing person was indeed good news—at least there was still hope for survival.

"Is this true?"

Shen Weiyi suddenly stood up from her chair, looking at Secretary Jiang eagerly, "Secretary Jiang, please help me buy a plane ticket. I need to find my dad."
