"No, Uncle Meng, I'm going to Yishi too." Tang Yue said firmly, "Sister An Yu might be in Yishi, I want to see it for myself and see if there's anything I can help with." "No, it's too dangerous in Yishi." Meng Jin refused without a second thought. The earthquake in Yishi was a massive one, the damage it caused was unpredictable, who knows if there would be aftershocks? And from here to the center of Yishi, it's all by foot, what if something happens on the way? How would he explain it to his own son? Although they hadn't married yet, in Meng Jin's heart, Tang Yue was already his daughter-in-law. Latest content published on novel✶fire.net Meng Jin's company enlisted their own people, while Mo Siyu, along with Li Wei and others who previously worked in the fleet, and the Qin family members were looking for their family's fleet and Qin Anyu. "Uncle Meng, I have already decided to go." Tang Yue said earnestly. She turned to Lian Qingyang and said, "Qingyang, let's go." Tang Yue knew they would have to walk to Yishi and with the weather getting hotter, she only brought two sets of clothes to change into and wore a pair of particularly comfortable sneakers. Lian Qingyang carried more things on his back, including food, clothing, and other necessities. Nobody knew the situation in Yishi, so it was better to be over-prepared than under-prepared. Lian Qingyang, who usually trained a lot, could handle the weight. "Tang Yue." Seeing Tang Yue determined to go, Meng Jin felt helpless but said, "Come with us, at least there's someone to look out for you on the way." It was early in the morning, just when the sky started to brighten. The road to Yishi, washed by the heavy rain, was exceptionally clear and carried a hint of chill. "Thank you, Uncle Meng." Tang Yue said with a smile, not foolish enough to refuse. Being with Meng Jin and the others would certainly be safer. But soon, Tang Yue could not smile anymore. In her previous life, she didn't know if there was an earthquake in Yishi, but when such a scene appeared before her, her eyes also filled with a heavier sense. In the face of natural disasters, human strength is indeed minuscule. "Sister Xiao Yue, maybe you should go back." Lian Qingyang, a grown man, found it easier to say this. He was worried that seeing this would cast a shadow in Tang Yue's heart, wondering how she would cope if she had nightmares at night? From the outskirts to the edge of Yishi city, collapsed buildings and crying victims were everywhere. Quite a few bloodstained people were dug out, even Lian Qingyang felt nauseous looking at them, not to mention Tang Yue, a girl. "No, if I don't find Sister An Yu, I won't go back." Tang Yue's tone was firm. She came here to find out about Qin Anyu's situation, and she wouldn't leave if she couldn't find her. "Sister Xiao Yue, let me stay and look for Sister An Yu. I promise to find her, isn't that enough?" Lian Qingyang held Tang Yue's hand, walking deeper into the city, fearing the situation would worsen, still unaware of Qin Anyu's condition, could Xiao Yue handle it if something had actually happened? "No, Qingyang, I will find her myself." Tang Yue was very stubborn about this, and though it was a disaster area, she believed she could stay safe if she was careful enough. Once they entered Yishi, Tang Yue and Lian Qingyang separated from Meng Jin; Meng Jin needed to rescue others and couldn't spare anyone to stay with Tang Yue. Originally, they wanted someone to accompany her, but Tang Yue firmly refused; one person, after all, could save quite a few others, while tagging along with her could hinder those efforts. Along the way, Tang Yue and Lian Qingyang stopped sporadically to lend a hand where needed, sometimes offering a bottle of water or some food. By the time they reached downtown, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the food they brought was all given away. "Sister An Yu." Tang Yue staggered when she saw the ruins. After asking many survivors, hearing that this was Xingyao Clothing, Tang Yue's legs went weak. Lian Qingyang quickly supported Tang Yue, saying, "Sister Xiao Yue, maybe, maybe Sister An Yu isn't inside." Lian Qingyang looked at the pile of rubble, wondering if anyone buried under it could still be alive. Lian Qingyang dared not voice this thought, feeling uncertain in his heart, and could only pray that Qin Anyu wasn't here. Unfortunately, Lian Qingyang's prayers went unnoticed by God. "Sister Qin is still trapped inside." "Can anyone save Sister Qin?" A nineteen-year-old girl was digging through the rubble. When Tang Yue heard the surname Qin, she immediately went to ask. Not knowing before asking, she was shocked upon confirming that Qin Anyu was inside; Tang Yue felt like the sky was about to fall. "Did you say Sister Anyu was on the second floor at that time?" Tang Yue pressed, asking, "How many floors does the building have in total?" "Three floors, Sister Qin was on the second floor," the girl answered tearfully, "It was too chaotic then, we all ran out, and only later did we realize Sister Qin hadn't made it out. Later, Sister Qin's friend also went in, but soon after, there was another aftershock." "Then it collapsed completely." The young girl cried heartbreakingly. She was very content working at Star Bright and earning her salary, especially because Sister Qin treated her well, and she liked and respected Sister Qin very much. Had she known Sister Qin was still inside, she definitely would have run in to save her. Unfortunately, the young girl later realized even if she wanted to save Sister Qin, she couldn't. "Is Sister Anyu's friend a tall man with peach blossom eyes, surnamed Chu?" Tang Yue inquired further. "Yes," the girl thought for a moment and said, "I think I heard Sister Qin call him Chu Hong." Tang Yue slightly relaxed, knowing that Chu Hong was with Sister Anyu; perhaps with Chu Hong protecting her, Sister Anyu might be safe. Tang Yue looked at the rubble, climbed onto it, and started moving stones. Lian Qingyang, knowing Qin Anyu and others were trapped underneath, didn't dare to delay any longer and began moving stones as well. At this moment, Lian Qingyang regretted not bringing more people with him initially; having more helpers would certainly have sped up the process. "Sister Xiao Yue, you..." Lian Qingyang watched Tang Yue recklessly moving stones and wanted to caution her, but knowing Tang Yue's personality, he decided not to say anything. Lian Qingyang silently increased his pace. "Sister Anyu," Tang Yue called out while moving stones, uncertain of their exact location, she could only move each stone to a cleared area nearby. The stones, wet from the rain, were very heavy. The young girl also joined in moving the stones. "I see someone," Tang Yue exclaimed excitedly; seeing a hand, she shouted vigorously, "Sister Anyu!" From beneath, a cry for help sounded; hearing this, Tang Yue knew instantly it wasn't Chu Hong or Qin Anyu—it was a middle-aged man's voice. Tang Yue along with Lian Qingyang and others didn't give up; after digging out the debris, they rescued a middle-aged man.
