President, the deceased lady has three more children

"Yes, because we arrived here less than half an hour earlier than you. It was raining just now, and the road up the mountain was quite difficult. Fortunately, the mountain is not very high; it's more like a basin, so the danger level is not high."

"Plus, it's not raining now, so finding people should be relatively easier." After saying that, the person in charge handed two walkie-talkies to the two men.

These walkie-talkies are all on the same channel, making it easier for people on and off the mountain to communicate.

Jiang Bai then asked the person in charge to get a few more walkie-talkies for their people. When he turned around after speaking, he found that Fu Yunchuan had already gone up the mountain first.

Moreover, he was very fast, and with so many people around, and Fu Yunchuan wearing a black windbreaker, it was as if he had disappeared into the night, especially since there were trees and weeds everywhere.

"Depend on!"

Jiang Bai cursed under his breath and quickly followed to look for the person. If they couldn't even find the young mistress, and if the president had some other problem, he didn't know how chaotic things would become.

However, Fu Yunchuan walked very fast; he only wanted to find Nanxing as soon as possible, and Jiang Bai couldn't catch up at all.

Fortunately, Jiang Bai remembered the walkie-talkie he was holding. These channels had all been tested, and Jiang Bai found Fu Yunchuan's channel.

"President, where are you right now? Wait for me a moment, I'll come find you right away. Please be careful."

"Don't look for me, go find someone. I'll go my own way." Fu Yunchuan's emotionless voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Jiang Bai said a few more words, but Fu Yunchuan fell silent.

Now that things have come to this, Jiang Bai can only do his best to find the person first; as long as he finds the person, everything can be resolved.

While looking down at the road for any signs of footsteps, Fu Yunchuan kept calling Nanxing on his phone.

He knew there was no signal on Nanxing's end and that she wouldn't answer the phone, but only in this way could he feel more at ease and less afraid.

"Nanxing, please don't let anything happen to you. Wait for me, you must wait for me..."

He murmured softly, his tone tender yet filled with endless pleading.

In the mountains, you can occasionally hear the voices of rescuers calling for help.

Fu Yunchuan focused solely on the road ahead, but because of the rain, the road surface was slippery, and many traces of human footsteps had disappeared.

The chances of finding traces of Nanxing and her group here are very slim.

Fu Yunchuan would mark a place as he passed through to avoid repeating the same route.

He was like a tireless robot, constantly moving and leaving traces, with only one thought in his mind and heart: to find Nanxing, and to find Nanxing as soon as possible.

Nanxing never expected to get separated from Tianyue, and her phone was turned off. The power bank she brought was also soaked in water because she didn't notice it in time.

Now, not only can't I send messages or make calls because there's no signal, I can't even turn my phone on.

She glanced at the electronic bracelet on her wrist; it showed that it was almost 1 a.m.

I don't know how Tian Yue is doing now, but she should be fine. Tian Yue has more experience in these areas than she does.

Fortunately, the rain stopped, and she can go down the mountain in a few more hours when it gets light.

It's raining now and the road is slippery. She doesn't know if there will be any landslides or other obstacles ahead, so she doesn't plan to go down the mountain now; it's too dangerous.

Moreover, Gu Yihe will likely send someone to meet them.

Thankfully, I found what I was looking for.

Nanxing was wearing a flashlight in one hand and holding another, shining it on a clump of grass at her feet.

This was the grass she was looking for when she came here. She didn't expect to find it after searching all day, but instead encountered it when she came down the mountain at night.

The story of how this herb was found dates back three hours.

When Tian Yue realized that the weather was not right, she notified Gu Yihe while preparing to go down the mountain.

Nanxing wasn't the type to act recklessly at this time; once he realized there would be danger, he immediately agreed to go down the mountain.

However, the rain came too quickly; it started raining before they even began their descent, and there was no cell phone signal at all.

They could only take shelter from the rain in the tent for the time being. Later, when the rain subsided a little, they began to prepare to descend the mountain. Otherwise, no one knew if it would rain even harder in the middle of the night and they would encounter even greater unknown dangers.

After walking for a while, Tian Yue led the way, holding up her phone to see if there was any signal. She followed behind Tian Yue, walking while keeping an eye on the surroundings and the ground for the herbs she was looking for.

To her surprise, she actually found it. She spotted a small one to her left, and when she shone a flashlight on it, the spot seemed somewhat familiar.

There were only two places in this place that she felt familiar with and could still remember.

One is the place where she met Fu Yunchuan, and the other is the location where she discovered that ugly weed back then.

She was certain this wasn't the location where she would encounter Fu Yunchuan, so it could only be another one.

She glanced at the rain, which was gradually subsiding, and gritted her teeth, deciding to go with Tian Yue to take a look. After all, if they didn't look for it now, they didn't know if they would find it tomorrow.

As she walked, she told Tian Yue to follow behind her, but after walking around for a while, she realized that Tian Yue hadn't followed and she didn't know if Tian Yue hadn't heard what she said.

Just as she suspected, it was indeed the herb she was looking for. She dug up a bunch and then sat on the flat rock waiting for dawn.

Was she scared? Nanxing felt a little scared, but more than that, she felt a little dazed.

This scene reminded her of the time she met Fu Yunchuan.

No, it should be the place where she found Fu Yunchuan.

She came here to find herbs, secretly without her master's knowledge. She had only been learning traditional Chinese medicine from her master for a short time and was already very passionate about it, so she dared to come alone at such a young age without any fear.

After she finished looking for herbs, she was about to go down the mountain when she encountered Fu Yunchuan in the bushes under a big tree. Fu Yunchuan was also wearing a conservative black suit and was delirious with fever.

She was immediately drawn to Fu Yunchuan's face, and only started looking for herbs after discovering he had a fever.

Since there were no fever reducers available, they could only squeeze the juice from herbs with similar effects and apply it to Fu Yunchuan's lips, and also stuff two cold pills from her backpack into her mouth.

At that moment, she had only one thought: she couldn't let this handsome young man die.

She didn't have a phone at the time and didn't feel comfortable leaving the young man there alone, so she stayed with him.

It was especially dark in the mountains at night, and she was terrified. Fu Yunchuan was also in a semi-conscious state, and the two could only rely on each other.

And they were especially hungry, so she shared a steamed bun from her bag with him.

Fu Yunchuan woke up in the early morning. She was very happy. The two chatted to overcome their fear. At that time, she thought, how could there be someone in the world with such a beautiful face and such a nice voice?

They chatted for a while and then fell asleep. She woke up when it was just before dawn and touched Fu Yunchuan's head. His fever was still burning hot.

She was so afraid that Fu Yunchuan would get seriously injured from the fever that she rushed to find herbs, intending to feed him some herbs and then carry him down the mountain.

But when she found the herbs, Fu Yunchuan was gone. She was terrified, but the words Fu Yunchuan had said in the early morning kept echoing in her mind.

"My family will definitely come looking for me tomorrow. If they see you when they come, please make sure they take you home, because I'm afraid I might faint. If they don't take you home, that's okay too. Don't be afraid, I'll come find you after I get better, I definitely will."

Fu Yunchuan's childish promises and the pinky promise they made were also made on this dark night.

A gust of cold wind blew by, pulling Nanxing's thoughts back to the present.

She took out a bag of cookies and chocolates from her bag and ate them slowly to pass the time.

Fortunately, I was dressed warmly enough, and my hiking clothes were windproof and rainproof.

After eating a bag of biscuits, I felt a bit more energetic.

She looked around and decided to find a flat spot to set up the tent again so it wouldn't get so cold in the latter half of the night.

I definitely wouldn't dare to sleep, or rather, I couldn't sleep at all. But waiting for dawn in the tent was better than being exposed to the cold wind outside. Setting up the tent was also a way to pass the time, otherwise, with so many hours left before dawn, it would be quite unbearable.

However, only about half an hour had passed since the tent was set up.

She sighed softly, knowing she could only stay in the tent and wait for time to pass.

On the other side, Fu Yunchuan didn't check the time, nor did he know how long he had been searching. He was still calling Nanxing repeatedly with his phone in his hand.

After a long while, Jiang Bai's voice came through the walkie-talkie hanging around Fu Yunchuan's neck, requesting to make a call.

Walkie-talkies are more convenient than mobile phones in this situation.

"Speak." Fu Yunchuan's voice was even colder, especially since he hadn't been able to find Nanxing, and his emotions were already teetering on the edge of a precipice.

One step forward leads to an endless abyss, one step back to a vast plain.

All of this depends on whether Nanxing can be found, and whether Nanxing is still in good condition.

"President, we've found the guide that President Gu was using to accompany the young mistress." Jiang Bai's somewhat tired voice came through the walkie-talkie.

It's normal to be tired after searching for so long.

Fu Yunchuan's eyes lit up for a moment when he first heard that the person had been found, but his face darkened again the next second.

Jiang Bai's words are problematic, and quite problematic at that.

"What do you mean by finding the guide? Where's Nanxing? Isn't Nanxing with her?"

If Jiang Bai had found Nanxing, he would have simply said he had found the young mistress, instead of saying it like he is now.

"President, the young mistress... the young mistress has gone missing, and we are still looking for her." Jiang Bai's voice was also somewhat bitter.

He was incredibly excited when he heard that the person had been found; the huge weight that had been weighing on his heart was lifted instantly.

However, when he learned that he had only found the guide and not the young mistress, he felt as if the sky had truly fallen.

This worried him even more than not finding a single person.

Since the two hadn't gotten separated, they could at least support each other, especially since Tian Yue was a professional. Now, only the young mistress was left undiscovered; what if…

Jiang Bai dared not think any further, nor did he dare to hide anything. He could only quickly report the matter to Fu Yunchuan.

Fu Yunchuan's vision went black, and the veins on his hand gripping the trekking pole bulged, showing how much force he was using.

"Go find him right now! Find out where the guide got lost!"

His voice carried a terrifying undercurrent, and Jiang Bai even felt that if the president were standing in front of this guide at this moment, he would definitely not let the guide go.

"I understand, President. Don't worry, they are searching now. But you should also be careful. If you also fall ill, it will be even more difficult to find the young mistress and the young masters."

Jiang Bai whispered a few words to Fu Yunchuan behind his back, fearing that Fu Yunchuan might lose his temper and put himself in danger.

"Find someone!" Fu Yunchuan gritted his teeth and said those two words, then continued walking forward.

Jiang Bai knew how unsettling it was for Nanxing to get separated from the guide, so how could he not know?

He dared not think too much about it and could only speed up the search, praying in his heart that Nanxing would be alright and that he would wait for him some more.

Although Nanxing kept forcing herself not to sleep, she couldn't resist her body's natural needs, especially since she had been searching for herbs on the mountain all day and was very tired. So, she lay down in the tent in the middle of the night, feeling drowsy.

Before falling asleep, she remembered that Tian Yue had said the tent was made of special materials and had a fairly good safety rating; it was said that even a knife couldn't cut through it.

In a half-dreaming, half-awake state, she seemed to hear someone calling her name.

Because she subconsciously dared not fall into a deep sleep, Nanxing woke up almost immediately after hearing the sound.

She stared at the top of the tent with her eyes open, her brows furrowed, and she even held her breath, straining to hear the sounds outside.

The voice seemed to be not far away, and Nanxing even felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

After hearing the voice again, she was certain that the person was looking for her, but this time the voice was unusually hoarse, and she suddenly felt that it didn't sound familiar anymore.

Anyway, at least we have someone here. Anyone who can find this place at night must be a professional. Maybe we can go down the mountain together. Perhaps it's one of Gu Yihe's people who came looking for us.

She held a high-powered flashlight outside the tent and spun it around a few times.

"I am here."

Upon hearing Nanxing's voice, Fu Yunchuan, who was not far away, trembled. A hint of warmth appeared in his cold eyes as he quickly approached the bright light.

My heartbeat seemed to have returned to a normal frequency.

Nanxing had imagined many people who would come, but she never thought that Fu Yunchuan would be the one to come. When she saw Fu Yunchuan stop in front of the tent, when she saw the light of her flashlight fall on Fu Yunchuan's cold face, she admitted that she was surprised and incredulous.

The moment Fu Yunchuan saw Nanxing, his mind was completely blank; all he wanted to do was pull her into his arms and etch her into his very bones.

He makes it impossible for anyone to leave him, and makes people completely merge with him for all eternity.

The moment Nanxing was embraced by Fu Yunchuan, she didn't have time to react. By the time she realized what was happening, she was feeling Fu Yunchuan's hug, which was so tight it was almost suffocating.
