Chapter 188: Chapter 185: Something happened, go to find him with a broken heart!
“He’s also preparing to evacuate, you go with us first,”
Wen Xian didn’t want to delay, immediately got up, packed her things, and outside, their vehicles were already waiting.
In her search through the murky view, she instinctively looked for that familiar silhouette.
As everyone’s cars were ready to leave together, Wen Xian suddenly noticed that not far away, there was one car that wasn’t moving, with no one getting in or out.
She immediately asked, “Why isn’t that car moving!?”
An assistant who had just opened the door and gotten into the vehicle heard her and, after sniffing his freezing red nose and wrapping his coat tighter, huffed, “Don’t even mention it, our car suddenly broke down and can’t start.”
“What about the people in that car, did everyone get in?”
Cheng Dongyuan’s gaze suddenly shifted to look back at the assistant, but alas, the latter didn’t notice and simply replied,
“Isn’t there a rescue team? They gave us the vehicles first, and two of them stayed behind in that car.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian’s mind instantly became muddled.
“Their people stayed behind!? The blizzard is coming soon, the car is broken and can’t move, how will they manage!?” Wen Xian asked, her fingertips turning increasingly cold.
On hearing this, the other people in the car immediately said, “They’re a rescue team; they must have ways to handle this better than us.”
“Yeah, besides, they can’t leave, we can’t expect our own people to stay behind, right? They work this job to serve us, the people.”
“Right, let’s hurry and go, don’t worry about it so much. This weather is terrifying, someone could freeze to death.” As she spoke, another woman sneezed and wrapped herself tighter.
Listening to these words, Wen Xian suddenly felt as if her throat was instantly filled with the coppery taste of blood.
The sounds echoed beside her ear one after another, yet they had never sounded so grating to her before.
When she spoke again, her lips curled into an ironic smirk, “Really, their lives don’t matter? They do all this just to sacrifice themselves for people who don’t care about them, who don’t respect them…?”
As soon as these words came out, the inside of the car suddenly fell silent.
Each face stiffened momentarily, but more than that, they didn’t understand why she would suddenly make such a remark. When had a big star like her ever paid attention to these things?
“No, there is no disrespect, it’s just… isn’t this what they are supposed to do… we pay our taxes, don’t we…”
“But that doesn’t justify taking their sacrifices for granted! The little money you pay could never compare to the importance of their lives—!”
Along with her sudden angry shout, Wen Xian, her eyes reddening, the next second flung the car door open and dashed out.
Cheng Dongyuan in the driver’s seat immediately followed her out, trying to grab hold of her, “Stop making a fuss, come back with me!”
Wen Xian shoved his arm away, tears brimming in her eyes, looking as if they could no longer be held back and were about to fall.
She swallowed hard and said, “My lover has been abandoned in the middle of nowhere, taking on the storm for them, facing a life-threatening situation, and you say I’m making a fuss?”
Cheng Dongyuan looked at the distant vehicle, his gaze deep and fixed, “How do you know he’s in that car!? Besides, none of us have any other choice.”
“I don’t give a damn if there’s a way or not! You may not care, but I do! I don’t care if the person up there is him or not, I won’t let someone else take the risk for me!!”
After shouting, Wen Xian no longer cared about anything else and ran straight towards the location of the vehicle…!
If someone had been left behind, without even thinking about it, she knew he would be there, he would be…
