Fifteen minutes later.
Zhou Ning had approached the intersection of Xinhai Expressway and Hong Kong Road, but the remaining distance of over a hundred meters had been blocked by cars. Zhou Ning got out of his car and ran quickly forward. When he reached the yellow isolation belt, a traffic cop stopped him.
Before Zhou Ning could show his credentials, a voice called out.
"Doctor Zhou is here, come over quickly!"
Looking towards the source of the voice, Zhao Xinli was waving in this direction. The cop who had stopped him quickly lifted the isolation belt, and Zhou Ning, breathing heavily, walked towards Zhao Xinli.
"What on earth happened? My mentor just called me, and he didn't make it clear, just told me to hurry back."
Zhao Xinli led Zhou Ning toward the north side of the intersection, pointing to some smoking vehicles ahead as they walked.
