Upon hearing "fell into the valley," Lin Congzhi became even more uneasy.

He sensed that Jiang Yimei hadn't reached the summit yet, meaning that if it rained, Jiang Yimei would be in danger.

Even with companions, they may sometimes abandon you in the face of danger.

His gaze hardened, his resolve hardened: "That's precisely why we must go up there!"

The two bodyguards exchanged a glance, both utterly speechless.

Now the sky is overcast, and not even the last ray of sunlight remains.

In such a dark environment, it's difficult to even find your way, yet you still want to go up there? Are you courting death?

Lin Congzhi is, after all, the boss, and they are now in the same boat; they can only share the same fate, whether it's prosperity or ruin.

To climb the mountain, you must first find a path; to find a path, you need light. They all asked in unison, "Mr. Lin, do you have any lights?"

Lin Congzhi took out his phone, opened the flashlight app, and illuminated the surroundings.

"The phone is waterproof, and it still has 97% battery left, so it should last until we reach the top of the mountain."

On the way here, he kept charging his phone. He had hardly used it since he started climbing the mountain, so it had plenty of battery power.

Nevertheless, the two bodyguards were not happy, because turning on the flash would drain their phones' batteries quickly.

But Boss Lin insisted on going to the top of the mountain, what could they do? They had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him.

Let's go!

Without saying a word, Lin Congzhi immediately went forward to find the way.

...

On the other side, the mountaineering team that was still heading towards the summit heard the rumbling thunder and immediately wet themselves in fear.

If they fail to reach the summit and set up camp, they will be soaked to the bone.

Besides, they may also be in danger.

However, the danger level is even higher on a rainy day, and no one knows whether they should continue climbing.

"Captain, it's going to rain, what should we do?"

"Captain, shall we set up our tents right here?"

"Captain, it's so dark, should we continue climbing?"

As the leader of this mountaineering team and a seasoned hiker with over a decade of experience, Zhou Ping felt it necessary to give instructions and calm everyone down: "The summit is flat and safe. There are many trees here. Where can we pitch our tents? Keep following me!"

Most of the people who came to climb the mountain this time were inexperienced, so they could only follow the instructions of the experienced people.

Jiang Yimei and Yaoyao's mood changed from being overjoyed and delighted at the beginning to being depressed and sullen now.

We had agreed to reach the summit before dark, but now it's already dark and we still haven't reached the top.

Of course, it's not nighttime yet; everything is just bad weather, so the captain can't be blamed.

But before they set off, the team leader told them that it wouldn't rain for the next two days, so why did this unexpected situation occur?

After paying the fee, Yao Yao was extremely displeased: "Captain, didn't you say it would be sunny these past two days?"

Zhou Ping: "How was I supposed to know the weather forecast was inaccurate?"

Before setting off, he checked the weather forecast repeatedly, but plans can't keep up with changes, and all his preparations came to naught.

Complaining now won't help the whole thing. Yao Yao just wants to know how much longer it will take to reach the mountaintop that the captain insists on going to.

How much longer until we reach the summit?

Looking around at the surroundings and then at his watch, Zhou Ping replied, "We'll reach the summit in another twenty minutes. Let's all give it our all, grit our teeth, and push forward. The magnificent scenery will be ours!"
