Xiao Wu and Sheng Feng dared not look Saozi in the eye. They turned their faces away, trembling and unable to speak, a look of deep grief shared seamlessly across their faces.
This reaction was obvious to even a fool—something had happened to Li Tingyan, and it was very dangerous!
Nianyang felt as if her breath was being slowly drawn out of her chest, the pain was so intense she could hardly stand.
She suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed Sheng Feng by the collar, her eyes turning red, her voice hoarse, "Speak up, I command you to answer me immediately. Li Tingyan is okay, isn’t he? Make him come out!"
Sheng Feng still said nothing, but Xiao Wu couldn’t hold back any longer, "Saozi, we and the boss were just rescuing people at the foot of the mountain when the manager heard someone below calling for help.
The spot was very remote, with a passage only wide enough for one person to pass through.
After the boss went in, he rescued a pregnant woman. He let her come out first.
Then the rocks from the mountain above collapsed, blocking the exit, and the manager got buried beneath..."
What?
Chu Zhan and Shi Nuan’s faces changed completely.
The taut string in their hearts instantly snapped!
Nianyang’s blood ran cold, her whole body staggered backward several steps, crashing into the cabinet behind her, knocking things over with a crash.
Outside, the excavators and cries mixed with the occasional thunder, creating a huge buzzing noise, like the whole world was falling apart.
But Nianyang seemed to hear none of it, only those words repeating in her mind—rocks collapsed, blocked the exit, the manager is buried below.
Li Tingyan.
Her Ayang!
Nianyang fought back her tears which began to fall instantly, rushing forward again, grabbing Xiao Wu’s arm with both hands and shouting, "Then why are you here, why aren’t you rescuing him, hurry and get him out, go now!"
Sheng Feng said in a deep voice, "Saozi, the rescue personnel are already at work, but the terrain there is special, the soil is very hard, and it’s all mountain rocks. Any slight movement could cause a mistake, the manager is in great danger being crushed below!"
"Hurry, where is he, take me to him, I want to save him!" Nianyang yelled excitedly, her whole being trembling so fiercely she slid down to the floor.
"Nianyang..."
Shi Nuan immediately went to support Nianyang, but at that moment, the ground began to shake again, and someone outside shouted in alarm,
"The aftershock is here again, everyone be safe!"
Chu Zhan spoke to Nianyang, "Little Nian, wait here for me. I’ll go with everyone to rescue Tingyan. There’s always the risk of aftershocks, it’s not safe outside. Stay here, I promise to bring Tingyan back to you safely."
Nianyang wiped her tears, feigning calmness as she said, "No, I want to go with you. I can’t just sit here waiting while Ayang is buried underneath..."
Shi Nuan advised, "Nianyang, let’s wait here. Everyone will do their best, and you’ll only be a drop in the bucket if you go. Besides, if there’s another collapse, how dangerous would that be? The boss will be alright..."
"Don’t stop me, I want to be with him. We promised to face everything together. How can I sit here with peace of mind when he’s buried and I don’t know if he’s alive or dead?"
Nianyang said, her face deathly pale, unable to suppress the terror in her heart. She just knew; her intuition had never been wrong.
As Nianyang spoke, she was about to rush out, but Chu Zhan directly blocked her path.
