Chapter 618: Chapter 592: Fun 1
Without taking heed of Huangfu Ye’s obstruction, Beiming Han ascended alone to the rooftop of the towering building where his helicopter was parked.
Ye Qi followed suit, remarking, “Young master, let me accompany you. In case anything happens, I can be of some assistance.”
It was extremely dangerous to head into the storm center on such a severe typhoon day.
“Stay behind, I can go by myself.” Beiming Han, drenched to the bone, seated himself in the pilot’s seat of the cabin, planning to search for Gu Qingxin all by himself.
He could not rest easy without seeing that girl today. No way!
“Young master, I can’t let you go alone! I am your personal bodyguard, and I must accompany you!”
With brows furrowed, Ye Qi disobeyed Beiming Han’s orders for the first time, yanked open the cabin door, and sat down in another seat.
Beiming Han didn’t say anything further; for there was no time to waste. The helicopter slowly set off from the rooftop of the building, heading straight into the sky that was repeatedly torn apart by raging thunder and lightning.
The closer he got to the eye of the storm, the greater the driving challenge became. The helicopter could have crashed directly if it weren’t for Beiming Han’s outstanding piloting skills.
The sudden darkness in the room startled Gu Qingxin to the point that she screamed. Fortunately, she was wrapped in a quilt at the time, and the broken glass did not harm her. She ran to the bathroom, wrapping her quilt firmly around herself.
But the wind was so forceful that she was blown hither and thither, and a sharp prickling pain radiated from beneath her feet. She guessed that bits of broken glass lay on the floor and had pierced the soles of her feet.
This typhoon was unusually severe, causing the roof of the guest house to be lifted and blown away.
Gu Qingxin hid in the bathroom, using all the strength she had left to lock the door…
However, the bathroom door, made of glass, shattered soon after due to strong gusts…
Gu Qingxin could only curl herself up in a corner, burrowing into the smallest shape possible. Her face increasingly itchy, she had no choice but to constantly rub at it.
She bit down on her lower lip hard, telling herself not to be afraid, that someone would come to save her…
As time ticked away, she became increasingly desperate, especially as her face grew itchier, leaving her clueless as to what was happening.
When she touched her face again, it was no longer smooth, but was marked with large swollen patches that almost covered her entire face.
Unable to hold back any longer, the tears Gu Qingxin had been holding back streamed down her face. She called out in despair, “Ah Han, come and save me.”
The windows in Ming Shang’s room had also shattered. He, too, wanted to check on Gu Qingxin’s situation, but Jack held him back. With the gale currently raging outside, Ming Shang would be swept off his feet if he went out!
Ming Shang was virtually dragged into the bathroom by Jack. At this stage, everyone was struggling to look after themselves. They could only hope to be lucky enough to get through it unscathed.
The nearer Beiming Han got to the small island, the harder he found it to control the aircraft. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning came hurtling towards them. Beiming Han changed course swiftly, but the tail of the aircraft was struck nonetheless.
The helicopter swayed back and forth, teetering on the brink of crashing…
By the time he managed to steady it, Beiming Han’s brow was slick with sweat.
“Young Master, are you alright?” For the first time, Ye Qi was extremely anxious, knowing full well how vulnerable even the strongest people were in the face of natural calamities.
“I’m fine. Give me the direction!” Beiming Han’s voice was steady as ever, though his gaze became increasingly somber.
“Ahead, in the direction of two o’clock, there’s a guesthouse! I found out that the advertising company chose that very place.” Ye Qi, finding Beiming Han still calm under pressure, steadied his mind and outlined the plan coolly.
The helicopter headed in the direction indicated by Ye Qi.
