They disregard human life and believe others are talking nonsense.
Song Mai understood at that moment that no matter what she said, he would not change his mind.
Seeing that the two were about to have a conflict, Ji Fenghe quickly stepped forward and stood between them.
"The disaster is severe, and many people have been injured a second time. The most urgent task is to rescue them immediately; we cannot waste any more time." As he said this, Ji Fenghe pointed to the crowd not far away.
At that moment, all the refugees seemed to see hope, and they waved their hands instinctively, overjoyed.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Song Mai decided not to continue arguing.
These matters can be investigated later, but the most important thing right now is to settle everyone down.
She took a deep breath and pointed to the calm sea not far away: "Someone just crashed a plane. I hope you can send people to search for them in the sea."
The man immediately retorted sarcastically, "We don't have enough manpower, so naturally we need to leave it for those who need it more. Since he's already crashed, there's no chance he'll survive."
Such irresponsible words were too much for Song Mai to bear, and in a fit of rage, she slapped the other person hard across the face.
The man tried to fight back, but Ji Fenghe stopped him immediately.
He warned coldly, "Do you want everyone to see you hitting a woman in public?"
In southern China, beating a woman in public is considered an act of culpability.
Thinking of this, he angrily withdrew his hand, raised his head and puffed out his chest: "You should thank him."
Song Mai sneered, harboring a deep hatred for men.
Ji Fenghe gently comforted him, "They never wanted to help the refugees here in the first place. Now that they've been called here, they're naturally full of resentment. Angering them won't do you any good."
"Are we just going to stand by and watch Chu Xing fall into the sea without doing anything to save him?"
Song Mai looked at him with a sob in her voice, filled with despair.
Ji Feng was also saddened, but he knew that there was no chance of survival after falling into the sea.
It's too cruel, but that's fate.
“Perhaps…” Ji Fenghe subconsciously wanted to say something even more cruel, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak.
But did the dignified Master Yun really fall into the sea and die like that?
"Your husband's name is Chu Xing?" Ji Feng tried to distract Song Mai by discussing other topics.
Song Mai nodded gently: "Yes."
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Since they won't go to save us, I'll go myself."
"How can you save her by yourself?" Ji Feng held her arm tightly, unwilling to let her put herself in danger.
“I don’t believe he’ll die; he’s not such a person with a short life.”
After struggling several times, Song Mai completely lost all her strength, slumped down with the monsoon wind, and sat stiffly on the ground.
Ji Feng felt sorry for her, but it was no use.
She couldn't accept the fact that Chu Xing had died like this, and she couldn't understand why such an outstanding man would have such a short life.
What she finds hardest to get over is that Chu Xing came here for her sake.
If it weren't for his concern for him, this accident wouldn't have happened.
She subconsciously blamed herself for all the mistakes, which made her sink deeper and deeper into the mire, unable to get out of it.
When transferring refugees, Song Mai specially picked out a few fresh wildflowers and walked towards the shore.
She carefully tended to the flowers at the spot where Chu Xing's plane crashed.
I will come to see you often.
Song Mai originally wanted to stay and accompany Chu Xing, but she had more important things to do at the moment.
She must expose what happened during this period and let the world know how the local officials acted.
Once all of this is over, she will naturally come back.
Chu Xing was like a ray of light in her life, shining brightly into her heart.
From then on, the future of the world became clear, and she no longer had to worry about being lonely.
Sitting on the plane, she looked down at the calm sea.
What a heartless person, not even willing to keep the wreckage of the plane for himself.
Along the way, countless scenes of the two of them together flashed through my mind. From the initial indifference to the later passion, the various conflicts, big and small, and the sweetness after making up. These images played incessantly in my mind like a revolving lantern, unable to fade away.
Seeing her lost in thought, Ji Fenghe whispered to comfort her, "We'll be at safety soon."
Another earthquake occurred after they left.
This earthquake was far more terrifying than the previous ones; the earth cracked open, and everything was irreversibly destroyed.
Fortunately, the people were evacuated in time, which was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.
For this, the man even received commendation from the government.
Song Mai sat to the side, coldly observing the man's jubilant expression. She remembered how indifferent he had been when it came to Chu Xing's matter, a stark contrast to his current enthusiastic demeanor.
Another bespectacled man in a suit approached the two men, looking apologetic, and said, "I'm sorry, we didn't know you two were relevant personnel from Yunxing Group, otherwise we would have arrived at the scene as soon as possible."
The benefits that Yunxing Group brought them were countless, and anyone sent by the company was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
"Then I must thank you all very much."
Faced with Song Mai's sarcastic remarks, the man from before couldn't help but get angry and embarrassed, but was stopped by the man with glasses.
“We understand that you are angry, and it is indeed our fault for not being hospitable enough.”
Ji Feng originally intended to tell everyone the identity of the man who crashed the plane behind Song Mai's back, but at the last moment he had a selfish thought.
Although it was already clear that Master Yun had no chance of survival, there's always a "what if."
As long as you don't say it, no one will care.
He glanced guiltily at the dazed Song Mai. Ever since Chu Xing's plane crash, she seemed to have lost her soul, completely devoid of any vitality.
He gently brought over a glass of water and said in a low voice, "Another earthquake just happened. Fortunately, people were evacuated in time, otherwise there would probably be more casualties now."
"Do you know that my sister suffocated to death? She wasn't killed directly by the earthquake, but died because of the lack of timely rescue. That's what hurts me the most."
Ji Feng didn't know how to respond, so all he could do was silently stay by her side.
After the personnel handover was completed, Ji Fenghe directly handed over the business of Yunxing Group to the other party.
Upon learning that there would be no more earthquakes, everyone present cheered with joy.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Song Mai quietly returned to the disaster area once again.
She gazed at the calm sea, her eyes filled with sorrow.
After a long while, she sighed helplessly and sat quietly on the shore, gazing into the distance.
I wonder what Chu Xing was thinking at the last moment.
Is he coming to me out of regret, or is he facing the fear of life and death?
