Chapter 52: Salvation
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Meng Shanshan refused to admit it and slapped his wrist, not believing that he would do anything to her.
After all, Zhong's mother was still in the room, and there were many Zhong family bodyguards around the temple.
How could Ji Sichen possibly fall out with her for Ye Jinmo?
The next second, the man's fingers tightened, and his cold fingertips pinched her neck.
She suddenly had difficulty breathing. A huge fear struck her from the bottom of her heart. She slapped the man's arms wildly, but no sound came out of her throat.
"explain!"
"I said...I said..."
His fingers suddenly loosened, and she collapsed to the ground, coughing, with tears forcing out of the corners of her eyes.
"I really didn't do anything to her, why don't you believe me?" She was still being stubborn.
The man raised his foot and moved closer, forcing her into a corner.
She panicked: "I'm telling you, my aunt is in there. If you dare to do anything to me, the Zhong family will not let you go!"
"Oh? If Mr. Zhong knew that you framed his granddaughter, do you think he would let you, who has no blood relationship with the Zhong family, go?"
These words hit her heart like an ice cube. After so many years in the Zhong family, she knew Mr. Zhong's methods too well.
Maybe even Master Zhong wouldn't need to step in, Zhong Shaoqing's anger would be enough to get her down.
"Do you like her so much?" Meng Shanshan looked up and questioned unwillingly.
Ji Sichen obviously lost his patience.
The rain outside was getting heavier. I fell off the cliff. I was lucky enough to land in time and survive. However, I would have died if I had been caught in a mudslide.
He felt like his heart was being squeezed tightly, and the veins on his hand holding the phone were visibly showing and he was trembling slightly.
He grabbed her collar and looked at her coldly: "I'll give you three seconds."
She was really scared by him. The feeling of having her feet in the air was not good. She stammered:
"My second brother and I almost fell off the cliff. It was her...she who pulled me up. But when we were saving my second brother, the vine that she and I were pulling together was too weak. I just pulled it lightly and it broke. She...she fell down, and my second brother fell down too..."
Before she could finish her words, she was thrown to the ground by him.
"You'd better pray that Jinmo is okay, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, he went back to his room, put on some clothes, and rushed into the heavy rain.
The noise they made outside the door was carried into the house, but due to the heavy rain and the door between them, Mother Zhong did not hear it clearly.
All I heard was something about a cliff.
She looked at Meng Shanshan with red eyes: "You mean, Jinmo and Beichi fell off the cliff?"
"Auntie, don't worry, they will be fine..."
Mother Zhong fainted holding her heart.
"Mrs. Zhong!"
"Auntie!"

The search and rescue teams from the Zhong and Ji families have all gathered at Biyun Mountain.
Zhong Shaoqing received the news and was on his way.
Ji Sichen was on the leading helicopter.
The mountain rain came suddenly and lingeringly, with no sign of abating.
Suddenly, he saw a bright light on the cliff in the distance.
"Lower altitude and get closer to the light!"
At this moment, in the cave.
The two men lit a pile of dry leaves with a lighter and sat around to keep warm.
Suddenly I heard the sound of propellers turning outside.
Ye Jinmo was delighted: "Someone is here to save us!"
Before she could stand up, a figure jumped down from the helicopter's ladder and stood at the entrance of the cave.
"Jinmo!" The man's voice was filled with suppressed excitement.
Ye Jinmo raised her head, wiped the dust off her face, and said with surprise: "Brother Chen!"
Ji Sichen reached out and pulled her into his arms. Feeling the warmth in his arms, he felt that this moment was so real!
He found her!
The search and rescue team quickly landed at the cave entrance, carried Zhong Beichi on their shoulders, and took him to another helicopter.
He looked at Ji Sichen's back as he held Ye Jinmo in his arms and wanted to say something, but he really didn't have the strength.
Ye Jinmo sat in the helicopter, and the joy of surviving the disaster made her relax instantly.
The accompanying doctor quickly examined her.
"I'm fine. The one who was injured was my second brother." She turned her upper body and said cheerfully.
Seeing the doctor nod, Ji Sichen finally felt relieved.
She looked out the window and saw the scenery at the bottom of the mountain kept changing. Although she had brought a lot of things with her when she went out, she still felt scared when she thought about it now.
Slowly, she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. The great shock and excessive physical exhaustion made her fall into a deep sleep.
It was already the next afternoon when she woke up.
She opened her eyes and saw a lot of people gathered around the bed.
Mother Zhong's eyes were swollen from crying. When she saw her open her eyes, she hurriedly held her hand and choked with worry: "Jinmo, are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Jinmo moved her body and felt sore and weak all over, and her throat felt like it was smoking.
Zhong's mother hurriedly brought some water, and Zhong Shaoqing helped her sit up.
After being fed water, she felt her throat better.
"Why are you all here?"
She looked around. She should be in the presidential suite of the hotel. There were at least ten people in white coats in the room.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Chu Hong walked in hurriedly, followed by Ji Sichen.
"Grandpa Chu..." She put down the water cup and was about to stand up.
"Don't move. You've had a high fever all night. Let me check on you." Chu Hong said as he held her pulse.
A few minutes later, his frown relaxed: "You are in good physical condition, you are fine now." As if he could see her worry, he continued, "Don't worry, Beichi is fine now. You treated the wound in time, you did a good job!"
She nodded, her eyes swept across Ji Sichen's face, and her heart felt warm.
The scene of him carrying her onto the plane is still vivid in my mind.
I haven’t seen him for just one night, how come he has dark circles under his eyes? There was stubble on his chin.
Zhong Shaoqing didn't smile at all the time: "Okay, let's let Jinmo have a good rest."
Mother Zhong tucked in the quilt for her, sat on the chair, and took the tray brought by the waiter.

In another room.
Zhong Shaoqing and Ji Sichen looked at Meng Shanshan who was cowering in front of them with grim faces.
After a long silence, Ji Sichen spoke up: "This is originally your family affair, I shouldn't interfere, but she almost killed Jinmo."
Meng Shanshan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she cried to defend herself: "I didn't mean to hurt her! My second brother and I fell off the cliff accidentally, and the vine was not strong to begin with. How can you blame me for everything?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask my second brother. If I wanted to kill her, shouldn't I just push her over? Why would I have to go through so much trouble?"
Zhong Shaoqing picked up the water cup on the table and threw it at her feet.
She was frightened. It was the first time she saw him like this.
In her impression, no matter what happened, her elder brother always remained calm and composed.
Zhong Shaoqing had a cold face and a serious tone: "I asked Bei Chi, you are right, the vine is indeed not strong, and there is a risk of breaking at any time, but Shanshan, it was Jinmo who saved your life. You saw the vine broke and didn't warn, but also added fuel to the fire. You should be thankful that Jinmo is okay."
He seemed to have made a great decision: "Since you have been with Mom for so many years, you should take the initiative to pack up your things and move out of the Zhong family. If you don't want Grandpa to know about this, just listen to me."
