After Ye Shu finished speaking, she turned her head and walked back.
"Shushu, wait!" Gu Zuocheng grabbed Ye Shu’s hand and said, "Actually, I’m here to apologize. If I had known what my mom and Ye Xinyu would do, I would have stopped them. I’m sorry."
"If it’s just because of this, then there’s no need. If it weren’t for them pushing the desks together early, we wouldn’t be able to set off now. I should be thanking them. You should go."
"Shushu..." Gu Zuocheng showed no intention of leaving, "Shushu, since I am now an investor in Heng Kong Entertainment, I am also considered a shareholder. I’ll follow the team to the countryside, as my contribution to my own career."
"If this is really what you think, then I have no right to stop you, but your car."
"I know, it was my oversight. I forgot we are traveling on mountain roads." Gu Zuocheng said, and quickly drove his car away.
Ye Shu had just returned to her SUV when she saw Gu Zuocheng open the door and sit in her passenger seat.
Ye Shu turned to look at Gu Zuocheng, "There are many cars behind."
This meant he should get out and ride with the truck drivers behind them to go into the mountains.
"Alright..." Gu Zuocheng opened the car door, and then heard Ye Shu say, "President Gu, you must have forgotten, you can no longer call me Shushu. From now on, please refer to me as Mr. Ye."
"Understood, Mr. Ye." After Gu Zuocheng got out of Ye Shu’s car, he carpooled with the truck behind them.
There was only one winding mountain road for entry and exit, so speed was limited. When the convoy had reached halfway, the weather turned unfavorably, dark clouds covered the sky, and it quickly started pouring rain!
The mountain road was already challenging with poor visibility, and with the heavy rain pouring down, the whole convoy had to stop.
Ye Shu picked up her phone to try and inform Gui County about the transportation team’s situation, only to find that there was no signal at all in the mountains.
Given the circumstances, the heavy rain wasn’t likely to stop anytime soon. Ye Shu simply reclined her seat, turned off the car, and took the opportunity to nap.
No one knew how long had passed. In a daze, someone suddenly seemed to be banging on the door!
Upon opening her eyes, the rain was still ongoing, but outside the window, someone was knocking on the door and gesturing at her!
She rolled down the window a bit and immediately heard Gu Zuocheng shouting hoarsely, "Get out of the car, there’s a landslide danger ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Shu immediately became sober. Just as she opened the car door, she heard an earth-shattering noise ahead, like thousands of horses galloping, quickly approaching their position!
In the next second, she saw trees falling down in front of her, mud mixed with rocks surging towards them, the sound deafening!
"Run!" Gu Zuocheng yanked Ye Shu from the car, and at that instant, the landslide surged like a filthy dragon, swallowing Ye Shu’s SUV whole.
Ye Shu felt a forceful shove from behind!
Looking back, she saw Gu Zuocheng being swept into the landslide!
"Run, don’t worry about me!" Gu Zuocheng’s voice appeared thin against the crashing noise of the landslide.
Ye Shu took a leap, followed by hurried steps down a large fallen tree trunk across the landslide, then jumped again!
When Gu Zuocheng was almost completely submerged, she grabbed his collar and dragged him aside by two meters, just under a huge rock, instantly splitting the landslide, sparing their lives...
But Gu Zuocheng was hit, quickly falling unconscious from the injury.
