Li Qingcang and Xie Xuning rushed into the cabin being consumed by the fire. They then searched for people in the rooms upstairs and downstairs.
“Is anyone upstairs?”
“None.”
“Downstairs either.”
“Go out first.”
As soon as Li Qingcang and Xie Xuning came out, Xie Xinghe’s team members already came with a fire extinguisher.
The fire extinguisher spewed white foam, and a high-pressure water gun was used with a hose.
The people of X probably never knew what kind of soldiers the empire had.
The people of X, perhaps, didn’t anticipate that in the face of true love, all schemes and tricks were useless.
Xie Xinghe patted Li Qingcang on the shoulder. “Xiao Cang, Tianxin might not be here.”
After the fire was extinguished, the cabin was burned to char, and the scene made their hearts were filled with trepidation.
If Ye Tianxin was really here, then it meant that she was beyond saving!
“No, she is here,” Li Qingcang insisted.
Li Qingcang didn’t understand why he was so sure, but he just had a feeling that she was here.
She must be trapped somewhere near here.
He heard his heart beating wildly.
His heart, only when she’s near, would beat fast.
“Even if I have to dig 6 feet under the ground, I will.”
Li Qingcang picked up a shovel and randomly knocked on everything in the cabin. This was one of his good traits. He would do everything that he could—never the one to easily give up.
He obstinately believed that his Tianxin was here.
His heart told him that his Tianxin was waiting for him here.
Xie Xuning followed Li Qingcang’s lead. Shortly after, everyone was knocking on walls.
Everyone carefully turned over every corner of this cabin.
People were all looking for clues, leaving no stones unturned.
Boom!
Making a crisp sound, the shovel in Li Qingcang’s hand seemed to hit something on top.
Li Qingcang’s heart beat faster.
He knocked harder again.
Sure enough, the sound here was different from that of other places.
It was a bit dull.
Li Qingcang’s voice had a vibration.
“Uncle, here.”
Li Qingcang’s and Xie Xuning’s hands shot out at the same time, and they opened the burned three-dimensional cabinet.
After the cabinet was moved, there was a metal handle on the other side of the wall.
Li Qingcang pulled up the handle. Under the wooden board of the handle was a narrow passage.
The steps were made of cement, and only about 50 centimeters wide.
“I’ll go down first.”
Li Qingcang didn’t care about anything else. He took the flashlight in Xie Xinghe’s hand and rushed into the steps.
He walked about 50 meters, and a door appeared in front of him.
It was locked.
Li Qingcang examined the lock and found that it was just a regular one. With his strength, he could open it without much effort.
After pulling off the lock, Li Qingcang opened the door.
“Tianxin.”
Li Qingcang felt as if someone smashed his heart. He saw Ye Tianxin sleeping on the ground with her hand still holding a glass tightly.
“Tianxin, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Li Qingcang squatted beside Ye Tianxin. He stretched out his hand. When his fingers touched Ye Tianxin’s skin, his face suddenly changed.
Cold…
Li Qingcang felt a chill down his spine.
Li Qingcang trembled inexplicably, and his mind went blank.
He leaned down and gently turned Ye Tianxin on the ground. Then he pressed her chest with both hands, giving Ye Tianxin CPR.
Xie Xuning, who came after, saw Li Qingcang trying to revive Ye Tianxin. He clutched his chest.
