After asking the question, Carl did not receive any answer from Leonardo. Instead, Leonardo just hung
up on him.
Carl took a look at his phone and sighed, "What a temper!"
After hanging up the phone, Leonardo dialed Summer's number.
He got through first, but after one ring, it was not in service.
Leonardo dialed several times in a row. It was the same.
He called in Tim through the internal phone.
Tim quickly came in. "Mr. Emerson, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Book a flight." After finishing speaking, he immediately raised his hand to stop Tim. "No, prepare the
private plane."
With that, he stood up, picked up his coat and walked out.
Seeing his serious expression, Tim guessed that something might go very wrong. He did not ask more
questions and only said respectfully, "I will go and arrange it now."
Leonardo left the company and drove straight home.
He packed a few of his necessities and came out of the room where he saw Rosie standing at the door.
She asked him, "Where are you going?"
Rosie hadn't seen Summer for several days. She knew carrying the suitcase meant going out far from
home.
Leonardo held the lever of the suitcase in his hand and looked down slightly at Rosie. "I'll go find your
mother."
There was calmness and indifference in his voice that only adults would have.
Rosie reached out to grab the corner of his clothes and whispered, "I want to go, too."
"You can't go. It's too far." Leonardo did not get rid of her hand, only explaining in a flat voice.
"But I miss Mom. If you miss her, go to see her, I also want to see her." It was rare for Rosie to express
her thoughts so clearly.
Leonardo paused, but his expression didn't change much. "I didn't say I missed her."
Hearing this, Rosie was unhappy. She turned her back to him with her arms crossed.
Right now, she didn't care if Leonardo missed Summer. She only knew Leonardo didn't take her to her
mother.
Leonardo reached out and pulled her over, telling her, "Wait for us at home."
His voice was as calm as when he was in a company meeting, but when looking carefully, one could
see that he didn't frown. He was patient with Rosie.
Although Rosie was reluctant, she nodded and said, "Alright."
Leonardo took a private plane to see Summer.
Although Carl's main purpose was to see Jessica, he was also the CEO of Tip Top Media. If he did not
go over, his subordinates would naturally go there to deal with the matters.
The crew members were all from Tip Top Media Company, so if he wanted to go there now, he would
naturally go as the CEO and had to bring his subordinates along on the plane.
He arrived at the village not long after Leonardo did.
Leonardo got off the plane and drove to the small village overnight.
When Carl arrived at the village, it was the afternoon of the next day.
The mood of the people in the village wasn't as bad as it was reported online, but it wasn't optimistic,
either.
Because the houses in the village were built down the hillside, some of them were quite near the rocks
and trees.
During the mudslides, there were landslides. Rocks and mud slipped down, and washed away several
houses near the mountains together with the flood. The houses were severely damaged, and there
were also casualties.
Even though the houses a little far away from the mountains were affected, the damage was slight and
could even be neglected.
As for Jessica and the crew, they lived a bit farther away from the mountains, so they were basically
fine.
However, because the base station was built on the top of the mountain, the landslide destroyed it.
Without the signal, she could not make a call. No one else could reach her, and she could not contact
anyone else.
When Jessica saw Leonardo, she widened her eyes in disbelief. "Mr. Emerson!"
Why did Leonardo come over?
Leonardo had no time to care about anything else. He walked over to Jessica with a serious expression
and asked, "Has Summer contacted you?"
Jessica nodded. "Yes."
Hearing this, Leonardo's eyes lit up. He grabbed onto Jessica's shoulders and asked anxiously,
"When?"
"Two... two days ago...." Jessica was frightened by Leonardo's reaction and stuttered.
Leonardo had spent a day in the village, and Summer had left two days ago. If she could arrive, she
should have arrived long ago.
His expression changed slightly and he turned around to leave.
Jessica realized that something was wrong and hurriedly followed him and asked, "Mr. Emerson, what
happened?"
Then she remembered that Summer had said that she was coming to visit her. Her expression
changed drastically and asked, "Summer... did she come here to see me?"
Leonardo turned to look at her and said calmly, "She left two days ago."
Jessica's face turned pale. "Are you going to look for her? I'll go too."
"Wait here for Carl to come over." Leonardo made a cold and straightforward decision for her. Without
giving Jessica any chance to refute, he left.
Jessica knew that Leonardo was much better at finding people in such a place than she was.
Even if she did, she would only be able to cause trouble. So she could only stay in the village and wait
for Carl.
However, even if Leonardo personally came out to find Summer, it did not make Jessica feel much at
ease.
Previously, when Summer said that she was visiting her, although she was looking forward to it, she did
not think that Summer would really come. After all, she had clearly rejected it.
I didn't expect that Summer would really come, and that something like this would happen....
It had been raining for several days, but today, the rain suddenly stopped.
The rain stopped, but the road was in a terrible condition.
Leonardo's car didn't go far before it was stuck in the mud.
His subordinate got off the car and checked the road condition. Leonardo also followed him.
The roads were built around the mountains. As soon as they got out, Leonardo heard a strange sound.
He looked up and saw more mud and broken trees sliding down the hill.
Leonardo grabbed the subordinate beside him and took a few steps back.
They retreated, and the clump of mud and stones slid down. At a speed visible to the naked eye, it
quickly drowned Leonardo's car.
There were more clumps of mud and stones sliding down the mountain, including an entire tree.
The road was broken.
Leonardo looked at the damaged road with a sullen expression, and he seemed to be gloomier.
When Summer entered the village by car yesterday, if she also encountered a landslide on the road....
Leonardo's gaze landed on the car that was covered in mud and stones, only revealing its rear lights.
He expressionlessly turned to look at his subordinate and asked coldly, "Are there any other ways?"
The subordinate said at once, "There is one more road, but it was destroyed first. When we entered the
village, we chose this road only because that one was blocked."
