71: Chapter 71 Qian Wan Gets into Trouble 71: Chapter 71 Qian Wan Gets into Trouble Ji Yang was polishing the outline here when he suddenly received a call from Xingshun.
Ji Yang, come to the office.”
Ji Yang responded and hastily got dressed and headed outside.
When he arrived at the village government compound, he saw people arriving one by one.
Yan Xingshun’s expression was extremely grave as he said to the arrivals, “I have just received the message that Commissioner Qian Wan has gone missing upon arriving at the village.”
“What?” Everyone was somewhat baffled by this.
He Chengjun strode forward and asked, “What’s the matter, what’s the hurry?”
Yan Xingshun explained, “There’s a villager from Heini Village who came to report that Commissioner Qian Wan went missing in their village.”
“What?” Now even He Chengjun was quite shocked.
Ji Yang asked, “That area of Heini Village is prone to landslides whenever it rains, it didn’t rain today, did it?”
Shaking his head, Yan Xingshun said, “There was no rain in our direction, but their village experienced a heavy downpour, and then many places suffered collapses.”
Everyone was startled at this point.
Ji Yang further inquired, “What was Commissioner Qian doing at the time?”
“Apparently, Commissioner Qian wanted to take more local photos and took a few people out of the village.
No one knows exactly what their situation is now.”
“Bullshit!” He Chengjun cursed immediately.
Qian Wan was a publicity commissioner; wanting to do some publicity was normal, but now, everyone was a bit unsure about what to do next.
Ji Yang said, “From the current situation, it’s hard to tell what their condition is; it’s very possible they’re trapped somewhere.
We need to organize a rescue mission as quickly as possible.”
“Yes, yes, we need to start rescue operations quickly!” Yan Xingshun exclaimed loudly.
The sudden development left everyone somewhat panicked.
He Chengjun swore, “This Qingyuan Village really has too much trouble!”
Nevertheless, they all began discussing the rescue operations.
Ji Yang, you’re familiar with the situation, why don’t you lead a team there first?”
Without hesitation, Ji Yang nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll head over right away.
I’m familiar with the village and don’t need to take anyone with me; I move fast.”
Yan Xingshun replied, “That’s good, we need someone to organize things.
You go ahead and organize the rescue, and we’ll follow shortly.”
Ji Yang then picked up a flashlight and set off.
It was getting dark, and walking at night was not safe.
However, thinking of the potential life-threatening danger that Qian Wan and the others could be in, Ji Yang felt anxious.
Indeed, Ji Yang wasn’t boasting; he was familiar with the paths of these villages.
Under the flashlight, Ji Yang moved swiftly.
Walking alone in the wilderness would have scared anyone else, but Ji Yang felt no such fear.
He picked up a stick and kept sweeping the bushes as he moved quickly forward.
The village where Qian Wan was located was still quite far from the village government.
After two hours of walking in the dark mountain paths, Ji Yang finally arrived at Heini Village.
At that time, the villagers had not yet gone to bed and were all waiting.
Upon seeing Ji Yang, the village chief Guo Dashi promptly came up to him and said, “Deputy Chief Ji, you finally arrived; why are you alone?”
Looking behind Ji Yang and seeing no one, everyone began to feel a bit puzzled.
“The village government was very worried after hearing about the situation here and sent me first to organize the rescue operations.
From now on, everyone follow my command.”
Hearing Ji Yang speak , everyone naturally felt reassured.
Ji Yang asked, “Does anyone know in which direction they went?”
Guo Dashi responded, “I’ve found out.
Commissioner Qian and the others went towards Eagle Beak.”
Hearing “Eagle Beak,” Ji Yang’s expression changed.
Although there were no landslides there, the area was known for its dangerous wildlife.
If they had encountered wild animals, it was hard to say what might have happened.
Guo Dashi added, “It was pouring rain when they went there today; we don’t know their situation.
After sending people to search and finding no trace of them, we sent someone to report to the village.”
“Mayor Guo, you handle the reception of the rescue teams here; I’ll take some people to take a look.”
Ji Yang briefed some matters and also directed preparations.
After finishing the briefing, Ji Yang quickly set off towards Eagle Beak with a few young men.
This time Ji Yang and his group spared no efforts; everyone brought weapons like machetes and axes.
As they approached the area near Eagle Beak, everyone felt the temperature drop suddenly.
“Let’s quicken our pace; if they are trapped somewhere, it could be dangerous.” Ji Yang didn’t know the exact situation, so he just urged everyone to move quickly.
“Chief Ji, the situation doesn’t look too good,” one exclaimed.
“In this dark night, it’s too difficult to find people.”
“No matter how hard, we have to search!” Ji Yang had no other choice; if Qingyuan village faced another incident, it would be a real joke.
Soon, they arrived at the location.
Upon arrival, someone in the group pointed ahead and said, “There’s light over there.”
When Ji Yang and his group rushed over, it turned out to be a team from the village searching for the missing people.
“Did you find anyone?” Ji Yang shouted.
“No, we’ve searched all over here, but we haven’t found them.”
Listening to everyone’s reports made Ji Yang feel even more heavy-hearted.
He called a few leaders over and inquired about the places they had searched.
After listening to everyone’s accounts, Ji Yang suddenly asked, “Did anyone search in Eagle Sorrow Valley?”
“That place, really?”
“Yeah, it’s very hard to get into; they shouldn’t have gone there, right?”
“Since it hasn’t been searched yet, let’s check there.”
That place was a canyon, and normally, people wouldn’t enter.
Yet, Ji Yang had a feeling that they might have gone there.
