The more the calls refused to connect, the harder Shi Guang’s heart pounded with uneasiness and unrest. Even her body started shivering uncontrollably. Unable to wait any longer, she bolted outside without even remembering to wear her shoes.

Lin Qiqi held her back. “Shi Guang, where are you going without even wearing your shoes?”

Shi Guang stopped at the entrance and wore her shoes while replying, “I’m going to look for him.”

Lin Qiqi looked at her in surprise. “Look for him? How! The rain is still pouring and no one knows if there are still going to be more landslides!”

This was way too dangerous! Lin Qiqi wanted to get Shi Guang to calm down and not be brash. However, how could she maintain her composure right now?

The sense of fear was overwhelming her like a tsunami wave crashing down.

After wearing her shoes, Shi Guang stood up and looked at Lin Qiqi with reddened eyes. “I know that it’s still raining and there could be more landslides, but I can’t wait anymore! Not a single second more! I’m going to find Lu Yanchen!”

With that, Shi Guang sprinted off.

When she hailed a taxi, the driver refused to ferry her the moment he heard that it was at Beiqiaoshan Road, even persuading her instead to not go because of how dangerous it was. The roads being inaccessible was one thing, it was the landslides to look out for.

Unable to grab a taxi, Shi Guang found a sharing bicycle ¹ by the roadside. Spending some money for a raincoat at a store nearby, she wore it and rode the bicycle off.

The rain was relentless. Even though it was morning, the skies were overcast just like the darkness of dusk. Lightning flashed by continuously in the gloomy skies as well, making it seem as though yet another thunderstorm was about to break out.

Shi Guang pedaled as fast as she could while the rain splashed all over her raincoat, creating pitter pattering sounds. There would even be rain pouring down her face as well, causing her vision to go blurry—the visibility of the surroundings was extremely low.

However, that did nothing to bring down Shi Guang.

But despite her fervor, she could not get into the accident area—the roads ahead were sealed, and there were not only traffic police, but two military trucks parked nearby as well.

Fully equipped soldiers stood ready at the entrance, maintaining order and preventing anyone from going forth.

The entire place was in chaos with people who had arrived before her. Women were crying, men were cussing, and there were consolations and screamings…

Even though Shi Guang could not get in, she could hear the conversations going on.

According to the weather forecast, there would be more landslides later on that would be at an even greater scale than before. Not only that, those people were thankful that there was no village built here, or it would have been crushed completely with nothing blocking them from the mountains and seas.

Just like the other family members present, Shi Guang wanted to rush through the security perimeter, but she was stopped by the soldiers.

“You must not enter! Retreat, retreat! We’ve already sent a search team inside to conduct search and rescue! You guys will only add to the trouble if you head in!”

With no other methods of entering, Shi Guang could only stand outside the perimeter with everyone else, frantically calling Lu Yanchen on his phone. But no matter how she tried, it just wouldn’t connect.

It was already close to 1pm right now and the rain only seemed to be getting heavier. There were a large number of casualties being brought out by the rescue helpers, but there was no sign of Lu Yanchen.

Just where are you?

Where in the world are you, Lu Yanchen!

Shi Guang was thoroughly flustered.

There was a man at the side shouting, “You guys hurry up, hurry up! If you guys don’t hurry, those people you bring out wouldn’t be living much longer!”
