Chapter 864: Anxiety
"Yaoyao, I was about to call you, but then I saw the news that there was a landslide in your area. I was so scared that I immediately contacted Steve, and then I learned that the rescue was successful!"
"There's nothing wrong on my end. Steve told me you've been on the scene directing the rescue. Thank you for your hard work. I won't disturb your sleep. Get back to me when you wake up!"
Nie Yao looked at these messages, the corners of her lips slightly raised. She changed into overalls, walked to the living room, made herself a cup of coffee, asked the hotel to send up some food, and started to call Li Jinxing with her mobile phone.
Not long after, Li Jinxing's call was connected, and his familiar low voice came through the phone into Nie Yao's ears.
"Hey, Yaoyao, how are you? Did you sleep well?"
Nie Yao nodded and replied with a smile, "Well, after I came back and sent you a message, I fell asleep and ended up sleeping until now..."
"You really need a good rest. I heard from Steve that you stayed at the scene last night for the rescue. It was almost dawn when the rescue was successful!" Li Jinxing sighed softly, his voice full of concern: "Yaoyao, I have never seen a silly girl more persistent than you!"
"Li Jinxing, although this collapse wasn't caused by my archaeological team, I can't just sit back and watch something so serious happen. After all, it involves human lives!"
Nie Yao smiled faintly and replied in a low voice, "Fortunately, those indigenous people are really amazing. They proposed rescue suggestions based on their actual combat experience, and they were ultimately successful. Everyone is thanking them!"
"Yes, I've heard that too. They are indeed worthy of praise. I will reward them specially when I come back!"
Li Jinxing nodded and smiled in response, then whispered a reminder: "But Yaoyao, this time such an accident happened. Fortunately, no one died, but you must be more careful in the future. I don't want to hear such thrilling news one day when I'm not by your side!"
"Li Jinxing, after what happened yesterday, I will be more careful..." Nie Yao made the promise with a smile, not only to remind herself, but also to comfort Li Jinxing who was far away on the other side.
Although Li Jinxing couldn't completely let go of his worries, when he thought of these indigenous people, he felt that placing them next to Nie Yao was the right decision. He chuckled softly and said, "No matter what, you have to be careful. Once I finish my business here, I'll rush back to accompany you!"
"There's nothing wrong with me, don't worry too much, your business is more important!"
When Nie Yao said this, she thought of what the aborigines said last night, and said hesitantly, "Li Jinxing, there's one more thing I want to tell you..."
"What?" Li Jinxing asked softly.
Nie Yao hesitated for a moment, but still felt that if she told this, it would make Li Jinxing even more worried, so she gave up in the end.
"Nothing much, just some speculation related to this mausoleum. I'll tell you when you come back!"
Nie Yao smiled nonchalantly. Li Jinxing didn't ask any further questions, but just nodded and smiled in response.
The two chatted for a long time. Nie Yao almost chatted with him while drinking coffee and eating lunch. She ended the call only after lunch was over.
When Nie Yao rushed to the excavation site, she found that another archaeological team had temporarily stopped working. Upon asking, she learned that the archaeological team leader had been criticized by the committee and was about to expel the archaeological doctor Vanessa from the team.
