The Wife Is A Superstar 3

Chapter 580 - Going Crazy

Lisa didn't respond or even look at Diana. He had no interest or time for the woman, even though he also wondered what was happening. Then his phone started vibrating on top of the table. He ignored it at first but it wouldn't stop, so he reached up and grabbed it. A bad feeling came over him when he saw the caller display. He tapped the phone and placed it on his ear.

"Emergency! Emergency! Mommy is in danger! A bomb exploded in the mall! A fan tried to harm Mommy and everyone present in the area! Mommy is alive but is in danger of being crushed from the sudden stampede! I repeat! This is an emergency! Mreow!"

Lisa felt like his heart stopped after hearing Louis' growling words. He immediately got out from under the table.

"There's an emergency. I have to go. I'll leave everything here to you," he instructed the COO. "Bam, let's go. Hurry."

He ran out of the room—literally ran. Bambam had no choice but to run as well in order to follow him.

"Lisa—I mean CEO Manoban, where are you going?" Diana asked, but as usual, she was ignored.

The COO, Diana, and the others watched the two disappear from sight. They felt confused but also curious, especially because the loud emergency alarm immediately stopped once Lisa and Bam exited the conference room. One of younger participants of the meeting peeked outside.

"Huh? Everyone is acting normal outside. Did the emergency alarm only activate in this room?"

Others went outside the conference room and asked around, confirming that nobody heard any emergency alarm in the company except for them. Coupled with their President's unusual behaviour, this incident quickly became a hot topic of discussion among them.

Later...

Lisa was now seated inside a vehicle. Bambam was driving him because there was no time to call for a driver. Louis continued to update him through the vehicle's system.

"Daddy, Uncle Jiyong is calling."

"Answer it."

The call connected.

"Something happened to little sister." Jiyong's low voice was cold and devoid of any emotions, totally unlike his usual happy-go-lucky attitude.

"I know. I'm on my way to her," Lisa said.

"I'm on my way as well."

"En." Lisa's expression was tense. He urged Bambam to drive faster. It wasn't rush hour yet but the road was relatively busy, making Lisa wish he could fly or better yet teleport to his baby girl as soon as possible. However, he forced himself to calm down. "Louis, share your reports to your Uncle Jiyong as well."

"Okay, Daddy!"

Both Lisa and Jiyong felt relieved to hear that their subordinates have safely escorted Jennie, Jae and Alison out of the stampede.

Oh, and V's group as well. Lisa and Jiyong almost forgot. The two weren't too concerned about him because he was some distance away from Jennie's group, far away from the explosion itself. He also had his own security team protecting him.

Louis showed his daddy and uncle a recording of the mall's surveillance video when the explosion happened. They watched it at the same time, even though both of them were in different places. They could also hear each other's voices because the call between them was still active. However, neither of them made a sound as they watched the most important woman in their lives throw what deceptively looked like a cake box up in the air as hard as she could before it exploded.

If she didn't throw it...the two men didn't want to imagine what would happen to her.

Both of them attempted to call Jennie several times but couldn't go through. It seemed that Jennie's group was too busy heading to safety and dealing with the chaos. It was possible for Louis to hijack the surrounding online devices but didn't do so because the cat AI already confirmed that his mommy is alive. More important than this, his mommy also placed a lot of restrictions on him to prevent him from speaking aloud in a crowd of non-approved strangers. All Lisa and Jiyong could do was to wait until someone from her group answered their calls or when it was safe enough for Louis to initiate the contact.

"How much longer?" Lisa asked Bam in an impatient and tense tone.

"We'll be there in about 15 to 20 minutes, President."

"Hurry."

"Yes, President."

Lisa was about to go crazy worrying about his baby girl. He was tempted to open his car window and shout at the other vehicles ahead of them on the road to drive faster or make way for him. All of them were driving like turtles!

"Louis, please alert me if any traffic enforcers are in the area because I'm going to drive faster," Bam requested the cat AI, knowing that his boss was feeling impatient and worried about Miss Kim.

"Okay, Bambam! Louis will also disable any CCTVs in the area and the dashcams on the surrounding vehicles! Meow!"

Lisa nodded before continuing to talk to Jiyong. It seemed that he would be the first one to meet his baby girl because his Fifth Brother was farther away.

Then all of a sudden, Louis went crazy.

"GRRRRRRRRR!!! MREEEEEOOOOOOOOOW!!!"

The lightings in the vehicle blinked on and off. The horn also activated by itself, making a long, loud and annoying beep. Bam cursed when the car stopped for a couple of seconds, suddenly propelling him and Lisa forward. It was a good thing that they were wearing seatbelts. Otherwise, they might have been injured.

"Bam! What's happening?!"

"President, it wasn't me. The car stopped by itself!"

The vehicle was now moving forward but it was obvious that something was wrong. The built-in monitor showing the live feed from the mall's surveillance video died.

It wasn't only them. The other vehicles also stopped at around the same time before moving forward again. Loud horns sounded, alarming everyone in the area, most especially the drivers and the passengers inside their out-of-control vehicles. The traffic lights were also out of whack.

"What's wrong?!! Louis, calm down!!!" Lisa scolded the cat AI who was currently going crazy.
