Lin Qingqian curved her lower lip. “You guys should leave quickly. Be careful on the way.”
Four people set off to send Luo Juan to the hospital in town.
The remaining people either stood or squatted down to look at their distant homes, but they could not enter to hide from the snow. They sniffed sadly. This night was destined to be a sleepless one. Although there were no earthquakes, there were continuous small tremors. No one dared to go home, not even to go in and get some clothes.
When Lin Qingqian and Lin Chaoyan were tired from standing, they wiped the snow off the tree stump beside them and squeezed onto the wooden stake to
rest.
The 29th.
Silken Villa was decorated with lanterns and colors, and there was a festive atmosphere of the new year everywhere.
Jiang Yunshen specially went to the supermarket to buy many lanterns and hung them up personally to make Old Madam Jiang happy.
Jiang Yanshen stuffed his hands in his pockets and quietly watched him climb up and down like a monkey. He thought that if Qianqian was around, she would be very happy to see these small lanterns.
Lu Yuan hurriedly walked in with an extremely ugly expression. “Director Jiang, something happened.”
Jiang Yunshen sat on the ladder and hung the lanterns as he said, “Don’t say such unlucky things during the new year!”
Lu Yuan didn’t look at him. He looked at Jiang Yanshen and said in a low voice, “I just saw the news. There was an earthquake in Yu Mountain and many houses collapsed. Five people have been confirmed dead and more than 30 injured.”
Jiang Yanshen’s expression suddenly changed. He snatched his phone away and quickly browsed the news. The blood on his face was fading bit by bit.
Jiang Yunshen was also shocked and almost rolled down the ladder.
Lu Yuan quickly reacted and held onto the ladder. Jiang Yunshen hurriedly jumped down. “What did you say? Yu Mountain earthquake? What about
Sister-in-law?”
As he spoke, Jiang Yanshen had already reacted and took out his phone to call Lin Qingqian.
“I’m sorry, the user you’re calling is not in the service area. Please try again later…”
From his expression, Lu Yuan knew that he hadn’t gotten through to Madam’s phone. “When I saw the news, I had already tried calling Madam. But, I couldn’t get through!”
Jiang Yunshen looked at Jiang Yanshen worriedly…
Jiang Yanshen hung up the call and dialed again, but no one picked up still. His throat moved and he squeezed out a dry voice, “Lu Yuan, prepare the car.”
Lu Yuan understood what he meant. “I’ll go now.”
Jiang Yanshen turned around and saw Old Madam Jiang being helped down by Madam Liu. “Grandma…
Without another word, Old Madam Jiang waved her hand. “Go and bring Qianqian back safely.”
Jiang Yanshen nodded and didn’t say a word. He took the clothes from the servant and put them on.
Jiang Yunshen reacted. “I, I, I want to go too!!”
Old Madam Jiang looked at him. “Why are you going?”
“I’ll go and help!” Jiang Yunshen said righteously, “What if Sister-in-law has…”
Before he could finish speaking, Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Yanshen scolded in unison, “Shut up!”
Jiang Yunshen immediately spat twice and looked at Jiang Yanshen. “Big Brother, bring me there!”
Jiang Yanshen did not say anything and looked at Old Madam Jiang.
Old Madam Jiang was silent for a moment before nodding. “Go, but you brothers must take care of each other and come back safely, understand?”
“That’s for sure!” Jiang Yunshen hurriedly put on his clothes and changed his shoes.
Lu Yuan came in again. “Director Jiang, everything is ready.”
“Prepare medicine, food, water, and winter clothes,” Jiang Yanshen said coldly.
Lu Yuan: “I’ve prepared everything in advance.”
The three of them immediately set off for the airport.
After a two-hour flight, they got off the plane and boarded the car Lu Yuan had arranged in advance. Then, they drove to Yu Mountain.
Along the way, Jiang Yanshen did not speak. He only kept dialing Lin Qingqian’s phone, but unfortunately, it was not in the service area.
Worry and regret filled his dark eyes. If he had known that such a thing would happen, he would never have quarreled with her last night.
He would definitely not have ignored her WeChat message just because of a stupid love letter.
If that was their last conversation…
The car suddenly stopped. When Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses, he saw that there was a roadblock in front. A few people in white protective suits and goggles stopped them and gestured for them to leave.
A trace of confusion flashed across Jiang Yanshen’s eyes. Wasn’t it just an earthquake? Why are they wearing protective suits? “Lu Yuan, get out of the car and take a look.”
“Yes.”
Lu Yuan unbuckled his seatbelt. Before he could get out of the car and walk in, the other party raised his hand to stop him.
Lu Yuan negotiated with the other party from more than a meter away and returned very quickly.
After getting into the car, Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said, “Director Jiang, they’re from the Health Bureau. They said that the injured from the earthquake last night were all sent to the hospital in town, but there were strange medical cases in the hospital previously. They suspect that it’s a viral infection. Now, the entire Yu Mountain is sealed. No one is allowed to enter or leave.” Viral infection!!
To Yu Mountain, who had just experienced an earthquake, this was undoubtedly piling disaster on disaster!
Jiang Yunshen was dumbfounded. “Then what should we do now?”
Jiang Yanshen didn’t say anything. His face was extremely dark, and his black eyes seemed to be dripping with ink.
Her fingers clenched into fists. After a moment of silence, she said coldly, “Get out of the car and think of a way to go back.”
Lu Yuan and Jiang Yunshen were stunned. “What?”
“Lu Yuan, bring Yunshen back. I’ll go in alone.” Jiang Yanshen’s words were concise and did not waste any time.
“Are you crazy, Big Brother!” Jiang Yunshen said agitatedly, “We don’t know what virus is inside now. What if you get infected inside?”
Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at him, his eyes cold and calm. Two words spilled out of his thin lips. “Get out!”
Seeing that he wouldn’t get out of the car, Jiang Yanshen opened the door and got out himself.
When Jiang Yunshen saw this, he hurriedly followed him out of the car. “Big Brother, we don’t know what’s going on inside yet. Perhaps Sister-in-law is fine. You can’t…
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen turned around and placed his arm around his neck, pressing him into the car.
“She’s my wife.” Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips overflowed with the three words, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
The expression on his exquisite facial features was as firm as death!
No matter how dangerous it was inside, no matter what happened to her, he had to go in at this time!
“But… what if you get infected after going in?” Jiang Yunshen’s eyes were red.
“What about Grandma, what about me? What about Tianyue Group?”
“Are you going to throw everything away for Sister-in-law?” The last sentence was shouted.
Jiang Yanshen’s long eyelashes lowered and trembled a few times. He swallowed silently, as if he was enduring something. After a moment, his voice became extremely soft. “Yes, I don’t want them anymore…”
For Lin Qingqian, he did not want anything.
Jiang Yunshen was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. He could not believe that he would say such a thing.
Jiang Yanshen didn’t explain anything, nor did he have anything to explain. He only knew that Lin Qingqian’s life and death were unknown inside, so he couldn’t leave her behind.
When he turned around, Jiang Yunshen grabbed his arm and said firmly, “I’ll go in with you.”
Jiang Yanshen turned around to look at him, the light in his eyes mixed with darkness.
Jiang Yunshen smiled, revealing his cute little canine teeth. “You can abandon us for Sister-in-law, but I, your younger brother, isn’t as inhumane as you.
You’re my eldest brother. Of course, I’ll carry everything with you!”
Jiang Yanshen raised his hand and patted his face. “You’ve already grown up.
You have to think twice before doing anything. If anything happens to me, the Tianyue Group and Grandma will have to rely on you to support them.”
“Big Brother—”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Yanshen’s low voice. “You have to listen to Big Brother even if you’ve grown up.”
Jiang Yunshen fell silent. He stared at him with complicated and worried eyes, but he also understood what he meant.
Jiang Yanshen turned to look at the chauffeur and Lu Yuan. “Send Yunshen back safely.”
With that, he was about to get into the car.
Someone moved even faster. They pulled out the car keys and stuffed them into their pockets.
Jiang Yanshen frowned and said coldly, “Lu Yuan!”
Lu Yuan said firmly, “Director Jiang, let me accompany you in. Otherwise, don’t even think about going in today.”
“Lu Yuan, are you threatening me now?” Jiang Yanshen’s cold eyes were almost overflowing with anger, and his expression became more and more irritable.
“I wouldn’t dare.” Lu Yuan looked up at him, his eyes gradually turning red. “Back then, if you hadn’t let me enter Tianyue Group and even used money to treat my Mom’s illness, I wouldn’t even know where I am now. My mother would have died long ago!
I, Lu Yuan, have sworn that I’ll follow you wherever you go in this life. You have to let me follow you today unless you beat me to death.”
Jiang Yanshen was silent for a moment. “You drive.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the front passenger seat.
Lu Yuan smiled. “Yes, Director Jiang.”
Jiang Yunshen couldn’t take it anymore. “No, why can he go but I can’t? Can’t I compare to Lu Yuan?”
Lu Yuan ignored him and hurriedly got into the driver’s seat to fasten his seatbelt.
Before Jiang Yanshen got into the car, he glanced at Jiang Yunshen and his thin lips moved. “Because you’re my younger brother.”
With that, his tall figure entered the car and instructed Lu Yuan to drive.
Although they were not allowed to enter, if Jiang Yanshen insisted on entering, they could not stop him forcefully.
They could only warn them that once they entered, they could not come out unless the quarantine was completely lifted.
Lu Yuan knew that Director Jiang was worried about Madam, so he tried his best to rush to Madam’s house while ensuring their safety.
An hour later, they could see the village where Lin Qingqian was from afar.
Most of the houses were not damaged, but some of the mud houses had collapsed.
There were many people busy in the empty space at the entrance of the village. The men had set up wooden stakes and built a simple tent for agricultural work.
As for the women, they were busy moving bricks and taking out pots and pans from home, planning to cook outside for the next few days.
Lin Qingqian was helping to take care of the children. Some of the children had scraped their knees when they ran out last night and needed to apply medicine.
When the car stopped, the busy people subconsciously stopped and looked over, surprised that someone would enter at this time.
Jiang Yanshen got out of the car and scanned the area with his dark eyes. Finally, his gaze landed on the girl with a ponytail and squatting on the ground in a yellow down jacket.
As his anxious heart relaxed, his throat suddenly tightened as though it was blocked by something..
