0057 Birthday (6)
It was not a good place to stay for long. After quickly contacting the outside world, Shen Chengsi comforted Zhao Xiaojing, who was crying uncontrollably. In fact, he himself was also very nervous.
This man is Young Master Wan's man.
He instantly abandoned his idea of "acting first and informing later," and keeping it from Wanqi Fuze. At this moment, lives were at stake, and Wanqi Fuze certainly had more channels to save people than he did. What he lacked was not this false sentiment.
So after calling the hotel to confirm that He Lingling hadn't returned early, Shen Chengsi immediately contacted Wanqi Fuze's men. He knew that Wanqi's trip here wasn't for leisure like theirs. Bringing Qi Le along wasn't just for her to meet her sister-in-law. Being in the business district, and with the convenience provided by his family, he had already noticed significant changes in several of Wanqi's assets; beyond that, he couldn't find out anything further. He just knew that finding him now wouldn't be easy.
So he dialed Zhiwen's cell phone.
Shen Chengsi lowered his voice and briefly explained the current situation. Zhiwen responded calmly and told him that Mr. Chen was in a meeting and that he would handle the matter first. He then made a few requests to him. Perhaps it was because one's personality and behavior are contagious from being around someone for a long time, but he felt as if he were being "ordered" by one of Wanqi's personal assistants, yet he couldn't help but marvel at the decisiveness and speed of Wanqi's family.
Just fifteen minutes later, the group spotted a rescue team sent by a nearby forest ranger at the foot of the mountain. After confirming their identities, the ranger led them away from the area.
Another group of people, wearing black raincoats, including staff and doctors, quickly went up the mountain with their equipment after learning about their hiking route from Chencheng Temple.
Just then, a thunderclap boomed, echoing through the mountains, startling everyone. The team leader's face turned grim.
With the thunder, it will no longer be easy for helicopters to enter the mountains.
A black Land Rover drove in at high speed in the rain from a short distance away.
A tall figure hurriedly stepped out of the car, followed by Zhiwen on the other side, who also got out and caught up with him, carrying an umbrella as if to offer some advice.
Everyone else had been taken away in military vehicles, except for Shen Chengsi, who remained.
He saw Wanqi Fuze and quickly ran over.
Unexpectedly, Wanqi Fuze said nothing, but simply placed his hand on his arm.
A light press brought out its weight.
Shen Chengsi felt that this force only reached his heart, making him tremble.
"Chengsi, tell me your route and time up the mountain, as well as when she went missing. I want to go up the mountain."
Shen Chengsi was startled, and Zhiwen spoke first.
"Absolutely not."
After speaking, he realized he had spoken rashly and used a commanding tone. Insubordination was a major taboo, but he didn't care and continued, as if he had nothing to lose, "Your body absolutely cannot be subjected to any more abuse."
Wanqi Fuze was never one to make things difficult for his subordinates over such trivial matters, but at this moment he was also somewhat angry.
"I'll talk about your matter later. Go to the HR department and get two months of leave first."
First, there was the bodyguard who escorted He Lingling into Guan Kai's carriage right under his nose, and now he's using the excuse of "not daring to take up your time" to cover up Lingling's disappearance. He has no idea what kind of person he's been supporting with his money all these years.
Wanqi Fuze took a set of dark reflective raincoats and went up the mountain by himself.
Under a gloomy, rainy sky, people were filled with anxiety.
Bright headlights shone down, and this time it wasn't just one car that entered; it was also very tall, unlike any you'd see on the market.
It wasn't until we got closer that we could see the car was green.
The first person to get off the vehicle was a tall, middle-aged man wearing a dark green military uniform.
Zhiwen quickly went up to him and called out, "Commander Xu."
The man only asked, "Where's that kid?"
Zhiwen dared not delay, but suppressed her fear and replied, "We've already gone up the mountain."
The middle-aged man's face exuded a cold and authoritative aura that inspired fear in those around him. As soon as Zhiwen finished speaking, he shot a sharp, scrutinizing gaze towards the mountain pass not far away.
The "humph" came almost directly from his nostrils, and the words he uttered were forceful.
"Nonsense!"
Zhiwen buried his head even deeper, knowing that these words were not only addressed to the junior who had come up the mountain, but also to him.
He accepted the reprimand only because he feared that if Wan Qifuze were to suffer even the slightest mishap, he would be unable to explain himself to the Wan family, and would even lose face in front of the Xu family.
Including Wanqi Fuze himself, three groups of people have gone up the mountain, but due to the rain and other factors, no news has been sent down the mountain.
At this moment, in the face of nature, all external tools are rendered ineffective.
Only by relying on human strength and willpower, even if one cannot fight back to the end, might one be able to save one's life.
P.S.: This is my son's maternal uncle, from the Xu family. He also has a fiery temper, hahaha.
Happy (ˊωˋ*)
