"Mo Han." Ye Ranran was about to charge in that direction.
Jun Mochan and the high-level executives of J.C. were inspecting the mall, so he must still be inside.
Ye Ranran felt as though a bucket of ice water was poured from her head to her toes, causing her entire body to become cold, even her heart lost its warmth.
"Don’t be impulsive." Huo Yi held her back.
He feared the armed men would shoot her if they saw her.
"Let me go." Ye Ranran punched and kicked in desperation.
She picked up her bag and slammed it hard on Huo Yi. It struck him somewhere and he released her.
Ye Ranran turned around and ran. Her high heels tripped her up.
She took off her shoes without hesitation and tossed them aside, barefooted, she rushed towards the ruins.
The dust and smoke had not yet settled and there were still remnants of firework debris on the road.
A red carpet remained at the entrance, and a balloon floated up from the ruins, as if mockingly reminding everyone of the grand opening ceremony that had just taken place.
A few people crawled out from somewhere, Ye Ranran grabbed one of them: "Have you seen Jun Mochan?"
Her face was grim with anxiety in her eyes, her voice full of unease.
Frightened by her appearance, the person pointed to one side.
Ye Ranran felt her blood freeze in her veins as she looked at the gate, supported by a single pillar. After being stunned for a second, she lunged towards it.
She started digging desperately with her bare hands.
Seeing her crazed behavior, Huo Yi tried to stop her: "Calm down, Xiao Han may not be inside."
Why would she believe what others say easily?
"I can’t calm down." Ye Ranran shook off his hand.
The person she loved most was missing, maybe even trapped beneath the rubble. How could she be calm?
Ye Ranran dug forcefully with her hands. Her splendid dress was smeared with dirt and sweat, ruining her exquisite makeup.
Stones and glass pierced her delicate hands, but she did not care, she just kept digging.
She had to dig Jun Mochan out, even if it meant going through the entire ruin.
Seeing her in such a state, Huo Yi felt an unbearable heartache.
"Stop digging. Even if he is inside, there’s nothing you can do to save him."
Ye Ranran seemed not to hear him. She knelt half on the ground, scooping up dirt with her hands. A cement block hindered her.
With all her strength, she tried to pull the block and move it to one side. But it did not budge, so she decided to drag the cement block out entirely.
Seeing her risking her life, Huo Yi became irritated: "Did you hear what I said?"
He tried to help Ye Ranran up, but she clung to the cement block and in the ensuing tug of war, she lost her balance.
She fell onto the ground.
Something struck her back sharply causing a burning pain.
"Xiao Ran." Huo Yi quickly moved to help her up.
Ye Ranran ignored him, her heart focused only on finding Jun Mochan.
She had to find him, dead or alive.
Huo Yi grabbed her around the waist: "Calm down!"
"If Xiao Han is really down there, with your current state, he’s probably already dead." Huo Yi spoke somberly and with an unnerving calm.
Ye Ranran finally stopped moving. Her face was expressionless, her eyes empty as she stared ahead.
Huo Yi felt that she was looking at him, and not looking at the same time.
"Not finding anyone right now is the best outcome. Plus, Xiao Han would have received the news already. He won’t be easily harmed." Huo Yi tried comforting her.
"I don’t need your comfort." Ye Ranran was indifferent as she slowly focused her eyes and pushed Huo Yi away.
