Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss Chapter 1016

Chapter 1016: Chapter 989: Which Do You Think is More Likely? Chapter 1016: Chapter 989: Which Do You Think is More Likely? “What happened?” Kiara pressed.

“They found an empty bus at the fire scene… Your elder cousin Indri Yuno was on that bus, and now the whole bus is burned down to just a frame, empty–its whereabouts unknown,” the person in charge said with difficulty.

“Ah…” Kiara felt darkness sweep over her vision.

She truly couldn't believe that Amelia, whom she had just had a drink with, could suddenly–!

She immediately called Mario Yuno, only to hear a chaotic noise on the other end, clearly indicating that he was already aware of the incident.

“I'm going to bring her back,” Mario said gravely. He had been with her in their mother's womb, and he absolutely couldn't accept that his twin sister was now in danger.

No matter if alive or dead, he had to bring her back!

“I will go with you. I promise not to get involved in the rescue or put myself in danger or cause trouble. I'll stay in a safe place and handle any psychological trauma if she is found.”

Kiara knew how important Amelia was to Mario, and the bond between twins was something beyond common understanding. His important person was also important to her.

“I won't enter the fire scene, I swear. I will only provide support! You need me!”

Indeed, he needed her.

Mario finally made a decision and nodded, “I'll take you, but you absolutely cannot enter the fire scene!”

Taking her with him was the greatest acknowledgment and trust in her; in the face of such a serious situation, Mario chose to trust his wife.

Seeing that Kiara, an affiliated outsider, could go as well, Patrick and the others felt envious and kept pestering their superior.

“Let us go too! If you're worried about us, we won't enter the fire scene, and we'll just provide backup like Madame,” Patrick seized the opportunity to request.

The person in charge glanced at them and pursed his lips.

“No entering the fire scene, you are only allowed on the perimeter!”

Mario met Kiara at the airport. He and Kiara took a helicopter over, flown by the Second Brother of Yuno Family himself.

Not only that, but as soon as elder Brother received the news, he also summoned all his people to head over; none of them believed that the Yuno Family's little princess had just vanished without a trace.

Patrick and the others also followed Kiara's move. Kiara's persistence and fearlessness had changed Patrick's impression of her significantly.

To him, Kiara had always been a privileged member, but who among those with privileges would willingly face such risks?

As soon as they got off the airplane, everyone started bustling about. The Forest Brigade was already dealing with putting out the fire, and Mario, along with his people and other teams that rushed over, joined the rescue operation. Since it was an emergency call, most hadn't even eaten lunch, fighting hunger as they took part in disaster relief.

Nearby workplace organisations had sent people over, and in the news, such an incident would only get a hundred or so words, comments of praise, and then it was over.

But it was only when Kiara personally arrived on the scene that she understood the difficulty faced by the soldiers. Having worked to put out the fire, their clothes were all soaked. Everyone had come straight after eating, hungry with no time for food; Kiara and the others, having eaten lunch in advance, were better off, while others could only endure and continue with the rescue.

Kiara arrived first, and Mario was too preoccupied to arrange for her. He had to command the Yunos in the rescue operation, while also tasked with searching for Amelia. The moment he arrived, he was busy at work. Kiara saw the bus burned down to its frame and felt a chill in her heart.

Based on the timing, Indri Yuno had left Zeke Sean's home early in the morning. She decided against having a family car sent for her and chose to take a long-distance bus. The time it passed through this area coincided with the outbreak of the fire. What exactly had happened to this bus to leave it charred and the passengers missing was known to no one.

Now, not a single person from the bus could be found, and in this day and age, long-distance buses were not bound by real-name systems–they just picked up passengers on their own, and no one knew how many people were actually on the bus.

Kiara walked around the ashes of the burnt bus, unable to reach any conclusions, and could only fret.

The Cooking Squad set up stoves to steam buns on the spot. Kiara and a few, including Patrick, temporarily joined the Cooking Squad. A forest fire wasn't as simple as imagined; it was not enough to just spray it with a hose and be done. They had to stay in the area for several days, ensuring that the sparks did not reignite. The present task was especially pressing, and there was no time for proper meals, so they had to settle for steamed buns to fill their stomachs in the meantime.

Kiara helped out with the work. She couldn't cook, but she could help out, and there was no problem with that. The temperature on-site was very high, and even at a distance from the fire scene, she could still feel the heat. Kiara's face was red from the smoke, and it felt as though her sweat had soaked through her clothes.

“You actually didn't have to come,” Patrick passed a bottle of water to Kiara.

“Would you abandon your comrade-in-arms?” Kiara took a sip of water and said, “To us, family members are comrades-in-arms we can't abandon.”

No matter where they were, whether at the ends of the earth or across the seas, they had to bring her back.

As they were speaking, the elder Brother arrived with his team, not only bringing people but also a large number of search dogs, all hired by elder Brother at great cost.

By elder Brother's side, Kiara saw Zeke Sean. Everyone was frowning, their faces full of worry.

Mario also hurried over, his clothes completely soaked. Kiara exchanged a look with him, but the couple had no time for private words as Mario began discussing the meetup with elder Brother.

“Did the telecommunication bureau find anything?” Mario asked.

“Indri Yuno had called her agent before she departed. I contacted her agent, who said she was planning to hold a concert after returning home.”

Indri Yuno was always a dream chaser, perpetually running along her dream path, never stopping.

Once elder Brother received the news, he immediately started taking action in cooperation with his younger siblings from inside and outside.

Second Brother of Yuno Family was still flying another helicopter in the sky, conducting a search mission, coordinating with Mario to search for the missing bus passengers. The fire was now under control, but the plane couldn't get too close; they could only start searching from the outskirts.

They couldn't miss any clue and had to find Indri Yuno.

But for the moment, there was still no feedback.

“Did you check the bus driver's call record?” Mario asked.

“We did. His last call was to 110, but it didn't get through,” elder Brother's expression grew even more troubled.

The driver's last call being to 110 was nothing but bad news for everyone.

The bus must have had an accident if the driver tried to call the police, but no one knew what happened afterward, as all the passengers had disappeared.

This made the fate of the bus passengers all the more concerning, and no one dared to think about the severity of the situation.

“There are two possibilities now, first, the driver came and found a fire and then tried to report it. Second, something sudden happened on the bus, and the driver tried to report it,” Mario analyzed calmly; this was when one's psychological strength showed.

If it weren't for his chapped lips, Kiara might have thought he was truly calm, but such urgency in Mario indicated the gravity of the situation.

“Which do you think is more likely?” elder Brother asked Mario.
