After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.
Chapter 424 Rescued
I found a wooden stick to use as a crutch, carried her battered body on my shoulder, wrapped clothes around her uninjured waist, and tied us tightly together as we struggled forward in the drizzling rain.
The mountain path was rugged and difficult to walk, and every step made my wounds ache terribly. I was so cold that I was shivering all over and even felt nauseous.
But I can't stop, and I dare not stop. On this cold, rainy day, I'm sweating profusely.
Suddenly, I heard a faint sound and quickly stopped, leaning on my cane: "Jiang Yuwei, are you awake?"
The person on my back spoke so softly it was like a mosquito's buzz. I listened intently and could barely make out that she was saying, "Don't... worry about me..."
"You're really awake! That's great! You have to hold on, don't fall asleep!" I suddenly smiled, overjoyed. Even though carrying her felt like carrying a mountain, and my lips were bleeding from biting them, my eyes were exceptionally firm. "Secretary Li must be looking for us. When she does, we'll have warm clothes and an ambulance. Just hold on until you see her, and everything will be alright."
When the car rolled down, it left a large trail of debris, and I didn't dare go too far away from it.
Jiang Yuwei's hand was still dripping blood. I couldn't see her expression, but I could hear her weak voice: "I told you... to put it down..."
Her voice was so weak it lacked intonation; I could barely make out the pronunciation, but I could imagine the tone she was trying to convey.
I was in so much pain that I was numb and almost lost consciousness. I was holding on by sheer willpower, with one hand gripping her arm tightly and the fingernails of the other hand digging into the wooden cane.
"You're so domineering! Are you allowed to help me, but I'm not allowed to help you?" I gritted my teeth and dragged her along with difficulty. "I can't just abandon you and run away. We'd rather die together!"
Whether Jiang Yuwei saved me or not, I will not abandon her. Besides, she risked her life to protect me, so I can't possibly ignore her!
The person on my back suddenly stopped talking. My heart skipped a beat. I didn't know if she had fainted again, or... I called her name several times, but there was no response. Tears welled up in my eyes instantly. I couldn't control my fear, afraid that she would just die like that.
"Jiang Yuwei, please... talk to me, okay?" I cried as I carried her up the mountain. My back was soaked, my clothes clinging tightly to my body. I didn't dare to think whether it was my sweat or her blood.
"Jiang Yuwei...don't you like me...wait until we're rescued, until we're both better...I'll get back together with you! Please don't die...please don't die, I'm scared..." I was terrified, my face was as white as paper, and my heart ached.
I've only had amnesia for a few days, and I've only known Jiang Yuwei for a few days, but we've spent every day together these past few days, and she's the only person I truly know. Although she has a bad temper, speaks bluntly, is unpredictable, and loves to make sarcastic remarks, she has no ill intentions towards me.
I don't want her to die. Even if she hadn't saved me today, I still don't want her to die.
I must save her, I absolutely have to save her!
The path up the mountain was too difficult, and my vision kept going black. I don't know how long I walked, but finally I heard a voice that sounded like heavenly music and saw a group of people, including Secretary Li who was running at the very front.
By the time she ran over, my already swaying body dared not collapse. Before I closed my eyes, I only said one sentence: "Save her, you must...save her."
News of flash floods, torrential rains, and landslides is everywhere.
Heavy rains in Beijing caused a bridge to collapse, resulting in a major accident with a shocking death toll. Just half a month later, another landslide triggered by heavy rains caused a car to crash, leading to a chain-reaction collision that left three people seriously injured and eight others slightly injured.
In both of these natural disasters, there was a victim who was fortunate enough to survive both times.
Many people speculated that this unlucky guy and lucky guy might be Jiang Yuwei's ex-husband, but no one could say for sure, because the two parties were in the emergency room and their fates were uncertain.
The news was making headlines, and Gu Mengmeng learned of it immediately, braving the rain to rush back.
Agent Zhang quickly stopped her and earnestly advised, "This area is surrounded by mountains and the sea. The villagers say the roads are dangerous. President Jiang stayed in this village because she was afraid of something happening; otherwise, she would have left long ago. She originally wanted to wait for the rain to stop, but it kept raining, so she couldn't wait and left first, and that's when she encountered the landslide. You not only don't learn from this, but you also want to imitate it. Do you want to end up in the hospital too?"
Xu Yikang also chimed in, adding from a self-interest perspective: "Judging from the news, it seems Jiang Yuwei is the one in trouble now. The news hasn't revealed any details, which means the situation is more serious than we thought. You shouldn't repeat her mistakes; instead, you should strike while the iron is hot and seize the initiative. You can't let her suppress you forever."
Gu Mengmeng's expression changed slightly, and she turned to look at Xu Yikang. He was taken aback, then seemed to remember something and explained, "When you collapsed from exhaustion and were hospitalized a while ago, I saw Chen Yiran, and he was the one who told me these things."
Gu Mengmeng frowned and stopped mentioning going back: "You have contact with Chen Yiran?"
Xu Yikang suddenly felt flustered and quickly denied it: "No."
She looked at Xu Yikang quietly, as if scrutinizing him.
"Yikang, don't get involved with Chen Yiran. He's not a good person."
He bit his lip: "I know he was the third party who broke up Ye Qiu and Jiang Yuwei's marriage. I didn't get along with him, I only said a few words to him."
Gu Mengmeng nodded, her face still gentle and kind, but her eyes sharpened: "Last night, Li Ningsu said something that puzzled me: You took Ye Qiu to the airport, so why was it only Ye Qiu who got into trouble? Where were you at the time?"
"I didn't ask last night because I trusted you, but now I'm a little curious. Can you explain?"
Xu Yikang's heart leaped into his throat, his brows furrowing tightly. Gu Mengmeng pressed him again, and he suddenly looked up at her, his eyes red: "Are you doubting me now? Do you think I would hurt Ye Qiu? You are all my best friends. I would rather kill myself than hurt him!"
Gu Mengmeng was taken aback: "...I didn't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?" Xu Yikang's voice trembled with tears, his eyes welling up. "Yes, we had a fight that day. I parked the car on the bridge and argued with him because he said he wouldn't be coming back after going abroad!"
He was devastated and in anguish: "Gu Mengmeng, I just feel sorry for you. You like Ye Qiu so much, but he betrayed your sincere heart. I didn't want him to go abroad, so we argued. Then he got out of the car and got into the car that Jiang Yuwei had sent to monitor him, saying he was going to the hospital to see Grandpa Jiang who had the accident, and then he would leave the country. In just a few seconds, the bridge collapsed, and the car plunged into the sea. That's the truth. Are you satisfied now?"
Zhang's agent blinked, stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Gu Mengmeng's lips moved slightly, her brows furrowed: "I know you wouldn't hurt Ye Qiu, otherwise I wouldn't have protected you last night. The bridge collapse was an accident, it couldn't have been intentional. I used the wrong words just now and hurt you, I'm sorry."
Xu Yikang raised his hand to wipe away his tears, but couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes. He turned away from her and said, "It's okay. You two have a good relationship. You're childhood sweethearts. I met you when you were both in college. I'm not as close to you as you are. It's normal for you to doubt me."
"But you should know, I never intended to hurt you, never. Believe it or not, it's up to you." With that, he walked away quickly, raising his hand as if to wipe away tears.
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips, feeling agitated. Just then, her phone rang. Seeing the number on the screen, her brows furrowed even more. She walked aside to answer the phone: "Uncle, it's me."
After hearing what was said on the other end of the phone, Gu Mengmeng's eyes darkened: "You saw the news... Yes, Ye Qiu didn't go abroad. The Beijing Bridge collapsed, and he was on the list of people who fell into the sea. But don't worry, I found him. He's physically fine, he just has amnesia... Jiang Yuwei found him before me. She completely fooled Ye Qiu, he wouldn't believe me, and he wouldn't even see me."
"I'd like to bring you to Beijing so we can take Ye Qiu home, okay?"
