“Sir, Madam, I have a few brothers who are also involved in this search and rescue. I just spoke with them on the phone and told them about the young master’s habits and skills. I believe that this will be of great help to their search and rescue efforts.”
The capable assistants in Tongjia Village were all retired special forces soldiers, who were not only exceptionally skilled in combat but also highly intelligent.
"Hmm!" Young Master Yan responded only lightly.
Zhu Qianying knew he was worried about his son, so she reached out and patted the back of his hand to comfort him.
“As long as Zizai doesn’t encounter any major attacks or injuries, if he just gets lost or something, he is capable of surviving in that kind of environment, so there’s no need to worry too much.”
Zhu Qianying said this not just to comfort Yan Shao, but because it was the truth.
Of course, this is on the premise that there are no other powerful external attacks or damages.
Although Zizai is smart, he is still only a five-year-old child, and his self-protection ability is extremely low in the face of strong attacks.
"Yes, he'll definitely find a safe place to hide and wait quietly for our rescue!"
Yan Shao also comforted Zhu Qianying, as he and Zhu Qianying both knew that in this situation, panic and chaos would be worse than anything else.
Therefore, he and Zhu Qianying must remain calm and try to think positively! Actively seeking various solutions is the best course of action.
"Master, why don't you and Shadow close your eyes and rest for a bit?"
Ke Kai's suggestion was, of course, well-intentioned.
No one knows how long the search and rescue operation will last. Taking advantage of the time we have now to rest and conserve our energy is the best course of action.
Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao were filled with anxiety and unease, and logically, they couldn't close their eyes.
But with the same idea as Ke Kai, the two of them lowered their seats slightly and closed their eyes to pretend to sleep.
The scenic area is about a two-hour drive from L city, and a helicopter flight there takes only a few tens of minutes.
The plane was originally scheduled to land at the entrance of the restricted area, with the intention of meeting with the local search and rescue team to exchange information and discuss and adjust the next steps of the search and rescue plan.
Before the plane had found a suitable place to land, Yan Shao gave instructions to the pilot.
"Old Fang, don't land yet. Let's circle around here a few times and check the situation."
The pilot was a former special forces soldier who was recruited by Young Master Yan with a large sum of money after retiring. He had a lot of search and rescue experience and had no objection to Young Master Yan's orders.
He also felt that it was very important to first understand the surrounding environment.
The plane circled several times in the airspace over a radius of more than ten kilometers within the restricted area, making Yan Shao, Zhu Qianying, Ke Kai, and the others gasp in disbelief.
This terrain, spanning over ten kilometers, includes not only cliffs and rushing rivers, but also unknown caves that form huge, invisible whirlpools, and ancient forests hiding various wild animals.
Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying's expressions grew increasingly solemn, and their hands clasped together tighter and tighter.
After circling twice in the air, Yan Shao instructed the pilot to rendezvous with the main search and rescue team.
As Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao disembarked from the plane, they immediately saw the Ji brothers, Ji Yu and Ji Huan, standing next to a police officer and talking to each other.
As if sensing something, the Ji brothers and the police officer turned around at the same time, and when they saw them, they strode over.
"Director Zhong, what's the situation now?"
Yan Shao didn't bother with pleasantries with the Ji brothers; they simply nodded to each other before he hurriedly inquired about the current search and rescue situation.
"Young Master Yan, we haven't found anything yet. We've thoroughly searched the area around the entrance, but haven't found anything unusual."
This news, which can hardly be considered a clue, is actually good news for Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao.
This at least proves that no fierce fighting or dispute occurred at that time.
"Director Zhong, I brought a dog from home. This dog is very close to my son. You can take it with you and search along the way."
As Yan Shao spoke, Ke Kai had already led Xingxing over.
Director Zhong nodded approvingly, "Yes, not bad. This is definitely much better than our blind search."
The police also brought police dogs, so Director Chung arranged for two teams to be led by police dogs and Xingxing respectively, and to search from both ends.
While Director Zhong was arranging personnel, Yan Shao, Zhu Qianying, and the Ji brothers were also discussing how to make the search and rescue more efficient.
After all, Zizai is just a child. Even if he has experience living in the wild, it doesn't mean he is capable of dealing with all sorts of unexpected events that might occur in this harsh environment.
At this moment, Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao were very grateful that they had prepared a lot of food for Zizai a few days ago to fill his stomach.
Early this morning, Zhu Qianying stuffed all those compressed biscuits and sports drinks into Zizai's backpack. Although it was a bit heavy, if he didn't share the food with others, it would be enough for him to eat for two or three days.
"He probably didn't share it with anyone else. I just questioned those elementary school students, and according to them, Zizai only gave them some drinks along the way. As for the compressed biscuits and the like, they didn't like the taste, so no one shared them."
Hearing this was undoubtedly a stroke of good luck for Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao.
"Young Master Yan, I want to go with them to search..."
"No way!" Young Master Yan rejected her suggestion decisively. "You need to protect yourself first!"
Zhu Qianying appeared calm on the surface, but only she knew that her heart was aching as if it had been cut into pieces.
With her beloved son's life hanging in the balance, how could she possibly think about her own safety?
"I know I definitely don't have the physical strength and experience of these search and rescue team members, but I think Zizai and I probably have some kind of telepathic connection..."
Even if it had never happened before, she hoped that in this time of crisis, she and her beloved son could have some kind of telepathic connection.
Yan Shao reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting out a soft sigh.
"Ying'er, I know you're upset, but you can't be hurt. Zizai will be okay too, trust me! You stay here and we'll go look for him!"
Yan Shao was still trying to persuade Zhu Qianying, but Zhu Qianying was such a stubborn person.
Moreover, she firmly believes that no one understands Vic Zhou better than she does.
In the end, Yan Shao couldn't persuade Zhu Qianying, because after Zhu Qianying's persuasion, even Director Zhong and the Ji brothers felt that it might be better to have her involved.
Yan Shao finally had to agree to let her come along, but he insisted that she must be on his team.
Zhu Qianying had no objection to this point. Besides, she and Yan Shao shared a tacit understanding that was unique to them.
