At 4 PM on the third day, Li Churan received a call from Wu Zhongshi, informing him that the helicopter would arrive promptly at 11 AM the following morning, and asking Li Churan to wait nearby in advance.
"Chu Ran, you must be careful not to attract the attention of others, because the helicopter can only carry a maximum of five people. If it gets blocked by others, it will be troublesome. The helicopter can only stay there for about ten minutes. It won't wait for you after that. Chu Ran, you must arrive in advance."
"Okay, Mr. Wu, I understand!" Li Churan said gratefully.
"Calling me General Manager Wu is too formal. Just call me Brother Wu!" Wu Zhongshi said cheerfully, but his tone couldn't hide his condescension.
"Okay, Brother Wu!" Li Churan hung up the phone, a shadow of gloom flashing across his eyes.
"President Li, when do we set off?" Fang Yan had already gone through all sorts of difficulties and dangers to reach Li Churan's villa yesterday.
"We're leaving tonight! Fang Yan, you continue reporting the data!" Li Churan put on his glasses and sat up straight, looking at the data on the computer.
"Yes, Mr. Li!" Fang Yan nodded respectfully.
…
In order to avoid attracting attention, Li Churan chose to set off after dark.
At seven o'clock in the evening, when all was quiet, the gate of the Li family villa opened silently.
"Let's set off now!" Li Churan began preparing to depart.
"Fang Yan, have you prepared everything on your end?"
"Everything is ready!"
"Mom, are you ready on your end too?"
"Ready!"
"Alright, listen to me now! The helicopter will land on an open area west of the villa district. To get there, you'll have to cross most of the villa district."
"Although I haven't counted how many survivors are left in the villa area, there are definitely quite a few, and those who survived are no pushovers."
"We must be careful to avoid being detected by them during this operation, lest we get into trouble!"
"Okay, President Li, we understand!" Fang Yan replied respectfully. He genuinely admired Li Churan, and he always viewed Li Churan through a lens of admiration, no matter what she did.
"Alright, let's officially set off then!" Li Churan said.
The three of them carefully made their way through the villa area, supporting each other as they walked toward the agreed-upon open space.
What they didn't know was that a little tail had been following them all along.
Lin Mengru tiptoed behind them at a distance.
Three hours later, the three of them finally arrived at their destination. It was 11 p.m., a time when the cold was biting.
"Mom? Let's go hide over there for a while! There are still several hours until morning!" Li Churan pointed to the villa furthest out in the villa area.
Because a murder occurred in this villa six years ago, and rumors of it being haunted have circulated over time, it has naturally become deserted.
"What, go to that villa? Isn't it haunted?" Shangguan Rong was always good at asking questions.
"Mom, that's all nonsense! Besides, do you see anywhere else we can shelter from the wind and cold?"
Shangguan Rong thought for a while and realized that he really didn't have any. He decided to make do with what he had for now.
Fang Yan climbed over the window first, then opened the door from the inside.
The villa is luxuriously decorated, which may be psychological or because it has been uninhabited for a long time, making it seem somewhat eerie.
"Mom, let's make do here for the night!" Li Churan placed torches in the four corners of the living room, and then lit a fire in the middle of the living room.
In the flickering light of the firewood, the three of them began to warm up!
Meanwhile, Lin Mengru, who was following them, was freezing cold outside.
What are Li Churan and the others doing?! Were they waiting for helicopter rescue? Why did they suddenly stop here?
I'm freezing!
Lin Mengru's pig brain would obviously overlook the inconvenience of helicopter flights at night.
"It's so cold! So cold! When will the rescue team arrive? Could someone have tricked Li Churan?" A pang of regret welled up in Lin Mengru's heart.
It's so cold, so very cold! Lin Mengru shivered and endured the cold in the garage until the next morning.
The next morning, at 11:30 a.m., the rescue team finally appeared amidst everyone's anticipation.
A helicopter was circling around the area, searching for an angle to descend.
Shangguan Rong ran excitedly toward the helicopter.
"We're here!" Shangguan Rong waved and shouted excitedly.
"We know! Get out of the way! You're blocking our landing position!" the helicopter pilot shouted anxiously.
Seeing this, Li Churan quickly pulled Shangguan Rong back.
Lin Mengru, who was hiding to the side, was so excited that she could hardly speak as she watched the helicopter circling in the sky.
Li Churan was telling the truth; a rescue team really did come to save them.
Because they were not far away, Ye Ning and the others could also hear the roar of the helicopter from the shelter.
"Miss, Miss, there's a helicopter in the sky! The rescue team is here!" Wang Ma excitedly ran in.
"A helicopter? Let's go take a look!" Ye Ning remembered that in her previous life she saw the rescue team's helicopter a month after the TV broadcast. How could the rescue team have arrived so quickly?
Filled with curiosity, Ye Ning climbed the watchtower on the east side.
She picked up the binoculars and quickly got a clear view of the situation.
It was indeed a rescue team helicopter, which arrived half a month early. However, it didn't seem like they were conducting a large-scale rescue operation; rather, it looked like they were there specifically to welcome someone.
Who is making such a grand entrance?
Ye Ning continued to observe through the binoculars, but unexpectedly, she saw three familiar people.
Li Churan, Lin Mengru, and Shangguan Rong.
What are they doing here? Could it be that the helicopter came specifically to pick them up?
However, given Li Churan's abilities, it's not impossible.
On Li Churan's side.
After circling in the sky for a few moments, the helicopter finally found a suitable angle and landed on the snow.
"Is this Mr. Li Churan?" A man in a suit and wearing black sunglasses stepped out of the helicopter.
“That’s right, I am Li Churan. I contacted your General Manager Wu yesterday afternoon!” Li Churan was not afraid of his probing gaze at all.
The man in the suit carefully examined Li Churan, seemingly trying to confirm her identity.
"Mr. Li, I was sent by General Manager Wu to pick you up! Let's hurry and get on the helicopter!"
But before he could finish speaking, a black shadow, taking advantage of their inattention, suddenly slipped through the gap between them and entered the helicopter.
Who is it?
The man in the black suit pulled a pistol from his waist pocket and pointed it at the figure.
"Who are you? Raise your head!"
The figure trembled and raised its head, revealing itself to be Lin Mengru, who had been lurking nearby.
"Chu Ran, tell him not to shoot, it was me!" Lin Mengru raised her hands in fear, looking at Li Chu Ran pitifully.
