"What? They haven't come down the mountain yet?"

Jiang Che frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Yang Juan hung up the phone and anxiously dialed another number, frowning as she said to him, "Sister Zhao Zhao hasn't come down from the mountain yet, with this heavy rain..."

Before she could finish speaking, the call was answered, and Yang Juan hurriedly said, "Brother Cheng, Sister Zhao Zhao went into Beishan this afternoon and hasn't come out yet. Could you take a few people to look for her..."

"Yes, around 3 o'clock, I went with Sister Li."

Jiang Che frowned as he watched the rain, which was getting heavier and heavier, showing no signs of stopping.

Seeing that Yang Juan had hung up the phone, he hurriedly asked, "Do you have any raincoats? I'll take some people to the mountains to look for them."

Yang Juan paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, I'll go get it for you right away..."

More people means more strength. This rain came without warning and even got heavier and heavier. Yang Juan was also worried that Ye Zhao might encounter some danger in the mountains.

Seeing this, Mu Xu and the others stopped drying their hair, stood up, took the raincoats that Yang Juan had found, and without asking any questions, put on the raincoats and followed Jiang Che.

Before leaving, Jiang Che arranged for Yang Juan to wake Jiang Ze and have him take a few people to wait at the foot of the mountain.

The distance between the south and north of the city is neither too close nor too far. Fortunately, the group had parked their car nearby, making it convenient to get there now.

The torrential rain washed over the bluestone streets, and in just a short while, the lower-lying areas of the streets were already flooded with water up to half a foot high. As Jiang Che watched the rain getting heavier and heavier, his heart sank a little.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhao and Sister Li on the north mountain rolled down the slope and were covered in mud and had many scrapes. Ye Zhao endured the pain and sat up, and quickly reached out to help Sister Li who had fallen to the side.

"Are you alright, Sister Li?"

The rain was pouring down, and Ye Zhao's face was covered in water. Her senses were also somewhat impaired, so she spoke a little louder.

Sister Li struggled to sit up. She was covered in scrapes and bruises, and her ankle seemed to be twisted. She pulled Ye Zhao and said hurriedly, "Zhao Zhao, you go down the mountain first and find someone..."

The downpour continued, and the two men were soaked to the bone. Their baskets had been thrown aside, and the walnuts and chestnuts inside were scattered all over the ground, covered in mud.

The torrential rain pattered on the treetops, stone slabs, and mud, creating a noisy, pattering sound, and the two of them unconsciously raised their voices.

Ye Zhao saw that Sister Li had probably hurt her foot, so she took out her phone to make a call, but the rain was too heavy and she couldn't see the screen at all, and there was no signal in the mountains.

"Sister Li, let me carry you down..."

As Ye Zhao spoke, she made a gesture to squat down and carry Sister Li on her back, but Sister Li quickly refused, saying, "No, Zhao Zhao, you should hurry down the mountain and call someone. You can't carry me far..."

"But I'm worried about leaving you on the mountain!"

With the rain so heavy, what if something happens to Sister Li if she's left on the mountain?

However, Sister Li insisted. Ye Zhao saw that the surrounding environment was relatively safe, and the rain was getting heavier and showed no signs of stopping, so she had no choice but to leave Sister Li there and go down the mountain to call for help.

The mountain path was no longer as easy to walk as before; it was muddy and slippery, and the heavy rain kept washing it down. The rainwater coming down from the mountain gradually gathered into a stream, flowing down the mountain path.

Ye Zhao was soaked to the bone and covered in mud. She stumbled and walked down the mountain, but the road was slippery, muddy, and uneven. She fell and was injured all over, but she didn't dare to waste any time and just kept walking down the mountain as fast as she could.

When Jiang Che and his men arrived at the foot of the mountain, Feng Cheng and several others had just arrived as well. The two discussed taking their men in different directions, but since they couldn't contact Ye Zhao, they had no choice but to resort to this tactic.

The torrential rain continued unabated, filling the mountains with the sounds of rain and flowing water. Jiang Che led the group, shouting as they walked into the mountains, but the heavy rain drowned out their cries.

Ye Zhao practically ran and jumped down the mountain, not caring that she fell several times. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and she was worried that Sister Li was not safe in the mountains.

After walking quite a distance, she vaguely heard someone calling her from below. She stopped and listened for a while, but the rain was so heavy that she almost thought she had misheard, until the voices grew closer and closer.

She looked down the mountain with a look of surprise and joy, calling out, "I'm here! Over here!"

Jiang Che looked sharply toward the source of the sound, but the heavy rain obscured his vision, and he could only see a blurry figure standing on a high place.

Mu Xu, standing behind her, exclaimed in delight, "Miss Ye is over there!"

As Jiang Che hurried uphill, he called out, "Ye Zhao! Ye Zhao!"

Hearing the sound, Ye Zhao walked down a short distance and encountered Jiang Che and the others who had rushed over.

Jiang Che's pupils contracted sharply when he saw that she was covered in mud. He quickly pulled Ye Zhao aside and asked, "Are you alright?"

Ye Zhao, ignoring her surprise, pointed behind her and said, "I'm fine, but Sister Li is still on the mountain. She hurt her leg."

The torrential rain in the mountains continued, and the two of them unconsciously raised their voices to speak.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xu, who was behind Jiang Che, hurriedly led the group to continue walking up the mountain. Ye Zhao also turned around to follow, but was stopped by Jiang Che: "They will go looking for people. You come down the mountain with me."

Ye Zhao pulled her hand away from his and said, "I'm afraid they won't be able to find the person. I'll lead the way!"

She turned and left after saying that. Jiang Che was stunned for a moment, then followed closely behind her.

Climbing up the mountain was much more difficult than going down. Ye Zhao almost fell several times, but Jiang Che was right behind her and steadily supported her.

After climbing for quite a while, the group finally saw Sister Li lying on the hillside.

Sister Li collapsed on the slope, covered in mud, her foot injured and unable to move, looking quite disheveled. Fortunately, the men Shen Du brought were all tall, strong, and muscular, and since Sister Li was short, carrying her down the mountain wasn't a problem.

However, the mountain path was becoming increasingly slippery due to the rain washing over it. The group of people Jiang Che brought were all brought along at the last minute, and they were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, which made walking very inconvenient, so they walked very slowly.

Jiang Che and Ye Zhao walked at the very back. Ye Zhao noticed that Jiang Che was wearing leather shoes, which could easily slip, so she quickly reached out and put her arm around his: "I'll support you. The road is slippery, so be careful."

When a warm, soft arm came closer, Jiang Che suddenly felt all the muscles in his body tense up. His previously steady steps slipped the next second, and Ye Zhao quickly helped him stand up, focusing intently on his steps.

Where no one could see, Jiang Che's ears turned slightly red.

The noise brought by the downpour was temporarily drowned out by other thoughts in my mind.

Mu Xu and the others took turns carrying Sister Li in front of them, while Ye Zhao supported Jiang Che from behind as they walked slowly down the mountain.

The torrential rain in the mountains showed no signs of abating. Ye Zhao was already soaked to the bone and her vision was blurred, so she could only help Jiang Che slowly walk down the mountain.
