"Sister Yuzhi? Are you Sister Yuzhi?"

Wen Lan quickly jumped out of the car and went to meet him. She walked a few steps closer and saw the phone in the woman's hand. It was Bu Yufan's phone, and there was a light purple mark on the back of his phone that she had accidentally rubbed when she bought nail polish at a night market in Southeast Asia.

"You are the relative of this cell phone, right?" The proprietress named Yuzhi even spoke incoherently because of nervousness.

"It's me!" Wen Lan nodded quickly and held her elder sister's hands with both.

"Hey, come here!" Sister Yuzhi called out to the old sisters who were gathered together discussing something not far away.

Everyone gathered together.

"Sister, this is what we are telling you." Sister Yuzhi began to narrate how she found the cell phone, with the villagers nearby adding a few words from time to time.

"There is a valley in our Litoukeng area. Because the terrain there looks like a pit made by a plow, we named our village this way. Pine mushrooms grow especially well in the valley."

"Let me tell you something!" Another villager saw that Sister Yuzhi was slow to get to the point and took over the conversation. "Before dawn this morning, a few of us sisters agreed to go to the pit to pick up pine mushrooms, hoping to sell them at the morning market. But before we even got down to the valley, halfway through the walk, Han Yuzhi stepped on something like this."

"I was there too, I saw it too!" Another enthusiastic villager raised his hand. "This iPhone is very expensive, I know, and it still has power. I thought, this is not right. How can there be a phone in this place for no reason?"

"And then?" Wen Lan became more and more panicked the more she listened. She felt like she was going to faint.

"Then we wondered if someone had come into the valley. We started shouting, 'Is there anyone there?'"

"Yes, yes, we are scared. Is someone lost? Is someone fallen?"

The enthusiastic and kind sisters, one by one, reconstructed the situation at that time.

"Sister Yuzhi, can you let me see your phone?" Wen Lan requested. "Or, how about verifying my identity first and then calling me?"

"Hey! No need, sister, I believe you. I can tell from your appearance, you have a very kind face." This village sister is really simple and honest. She handed the phone to Wen Lan.

With tears in her eyes, Wen Lan entered Bu Yufan's password. He said that he had no secrets from her, and the password was the date he proposed to her.

"It's open! It's open!" The sisters were very excited, as if this was one step closer to finding the owner.

Wen Lan searched through his text messages, phone calls, WeChat, and emails, looking for clues one by one. Bu Yufan would not appear here in the middle of the night for no reason!

"Sister Wen Lan, the rescue team has arrived. I'll go contact them first." Chu An saw the rescue team's convoy going up the mountain from afar and quickly reported to Wen Lan.

"Sisters, my husband might have encountered something in Litoukeng. We have a professional rescue team here, and I have also called the police. If I ask you to go back to the scene and lead the way, can you still find the location where you picked up this phone?" Wen Lan looked around at everyone and said urgently and pleadingly.

"Yes! I can find it!"

"Girl! We will definitely help you!"

"That's right, who wouldn't be anxious when encountering something like this? We won't just stand by and watch!"

These kind-hearted sisters gave Wen Lan a glimmer of hope.

"Mom, is Dad really here? Mom, I'm scared!" Wen Nuan held Wen Lan's hand and witnessed the whole thing. The horror of this incident was beyond her psychological endurance.

"Baby, mommy will wipe your tears, we will go find daddy now." Wen Lan squatted down, her stomach ached a little, the feeling was vague and unreal. "Come, mommy will put the little cape on you. The wind is strong in the mountains, this is the new clothes daddy just bought for Nuan Nuan, it looks really cool! Isn't it?"

"Mom, I want Dad." The child's eyes were filled with tears, but she sensibly held them back, not wanting to make her mother sad anymore.

"Mom knows. Look, there are so many uncles and aunts helping us. Dad will be fine. Hmm?" Wen Lan forced a smile.

She held her stomach as she stood up.

"Baby, I'm sorry. I've been running around all morning. Did I make you feel uncomfortable?" She said silently to the baby in her belly. "Mom will protect you. You have to cooperate with me, okay?"

Sister Yuzhi and enthusiastic villagers led the way, and the rescue team members followed closely with professional equipment.

The captain stayed behind and discussed the search and rescue plan with Mi Chuan.

Wen Lan led the child and followed them, and from time to time she could hear a few words of their conversation.

"Chu An, come here!" she shouted.

"Sister Wen Lan, I'm here. You don't look well. How about you rest here and I'll find someone to accompany you?"

"Chu An, I just heard you talk about the horizontal and vertical distances of that valley. We mentioned the drone this morning, and this gave me an inspiration." Wen Lan came up with an idea.

"Sister, what do you mean? You're not thinking..." Mi Chuan immediately understood what she was thinking.

"Yes, look for drones, the kind with sensors or thermal imaging or something. You know this better than me. Spare no expense, no matter the cost. It will be faster than manual search anyway."

Mi Chuan nodded excitedly and hurried to chase the captain of the rescue team.

After the two of them talked for a while, the captain ran over to Wen Lan. "Ms. Wen, I do know the person who has this device, but it's about 100 kilometers away. Should I ask him to leave now?"

"Captain, do you want to take the highway, high-speed rail, helicopter, or private plane? All are fine! I'll get someone to do it right away."

She was so calm and decisive, and her wisdom in the face of danger impressed all the men present.

40 minutes later, a professional pilot carrying a drone search and rescue equipment landed at Litoukeng.

Contacting the pilot, setting off the helicopter, picking up the passengers, all were completed within the maximum speed of 8 minutes. It can only be said that each of Bu Yufan's right-hand men is an elite, and their execution ability is so strong that it is incomparable to ordinary people.

During this period of time, everyone present was busy. The rescue team was divided into several groups and had gone deep into the valley.

Fire, police and medical emergency personnel are all on standby at the scene.

Wen Lan did not try to be brave and followed the search and rescue team. The more times like this, the more she should not let her emotions get the better of her.

She would not do anything beyond her physical strength, as that would only delay the progress of the search.

She would not force herself to climb down the cliff with her child. She wanted to keep warm and protect the baby in her belly.

She is Bu Yufan's woman. When he is not around, she has to take up the responsibility and preside over the situation.

She told herself several times: Now is not the time to cry! Her tears cannot flow here!
