Chapter – 91Â
Where Are You
âI told you, can you stop blocking me? I need to go inside to find someone.â
When Qiao Le chased after her, she was already too late. Mu Wanwan had already run into the back mountain. Just as she tried to follow, two young monks passing by stopped her.
She had talked until her throat was dry, but the two little monks still refused to let her enter the back mountain.
âMiss, the terrain of the back mountain is dangerous. And looking at the weather, it will start raining very soon. You should go back first,â one of the young monks said patiently as he stood in front of Qiao Le.
Qiao Le irritably ran her fingers through her hair. Her anxious eyes looked toward the gloomy back mountain.
âBut my friend is still inside.â
âWhy donât you go find a rescue team for help?â the monk suggested. âEven if you go in now, you might not find your friend, and you could also end up in danger.â
Urgent footsteps sounded behind her.
Qiao Le turned around.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Li was already standing in front of her.
Behind him, Fu Dong and Huo Zheng followed closely.
Seeing that Qiao Le was the only one there, Lu Liâs eyes suddenly darkened.
âWhere is she?â
Qiao Le quickly said, âLu Li, Wanwan ran into the back mountain. Iâve been calling her, but she hasnât answered.â
âShe ran into the back mountain?â Huo Zheng looked shocked. His gaze passed over her and looked at the endless deep mountains ahead, his expression turning serious.
A magnetic voice echoed through the forest, carrying urgency. Lu Li pushed away the vines blocking his path and hurried through the woods.
âDonât rush,â Huo Zheng said calmly. âFu Dong, call the rescue team first.â
They didnât understand the terrain here at all. If they went in rashly, they might not be able to help.
Qiao Le lowered her eyes slightly and did not continue speaking.
âBoomâboomâboomââ
The rain gradually grew heavier.
Strong wind blew through the trees, making the leaves rustle loudly. The heavy rain washed over the ground, and small stones mixed with mud rolled down continuously.
By the time Huo Zheng reacted, Lu Li had already pushed aside the two young monks who tried to stop him and rushed into the back mountain without looking back.
âItâs all Lu Ziqingâs fault,â Qiao Le said angrily. âIf anything happens to Wanwan, I will never forgive her.â
Qiao Le fell silent.
Just when Huo Zheng thought she didnât want to tell him, she spoke again in a hoarse voice.
âThe jacket⌠thereâs something very important to Wanwan inside.â
What kind of thing could be so important that Mu Wanwan risked her life to run into the back mountain?
Before he could figure it out, a dark figure flashed past his eyes.
Fu Dong gave a short response and walked aside to make a phone call.
âMu Wanwan⌠Wanwan, where are youâŚâ
After finishing the call, Fu Dong happened to hear her words and asked, âWhat is it?â
Cold wind shook the branches. The tall figure disappeared into the depths of the mountain.
Thunder roared loudly as large raindrops began to fall.
âMu Wanwan, youâre not allowed to get into trouble. You must wait for me.â
Soon after, Qiao Le and Fu Dongâs voices rang out at the same time.
As time passed, they still couldnât find anyone. The rain only grew heavier. On Lu Liâs usually calm face appeared a rare expression of panic and fear.
âLu Li.â
âWhat should we do? Itâs raining now. Will something happen to Lu Li and Wanwan?â Qiao Leâs eyes turned red with anxiety as she looked at Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng looked at her thoughtfully.
âWhat exactly is that important thing that made Wanwan risk everything to find it?â
âWait for meâŚâ
âCousin.â
In the deep mountains with complicated terrain, and now with the heavy rain, finding someone had become even more difficult.
Lu Li finally stopped. His breathing grew heavy.
He punched the thick tree trunk hard. His dark eyes were as cold and deep as ice.
âMu Wanwan!â
His hysterical shout pierced through the storm and thunder, rising straight into the sky.
