The rescue helpers mentioned that there was a car parked beside the river where the coat was found, with its doors opened—the owner of the car must have left it like that before leaping into the river to escape.

Shi Guang’s entire head was buzzing furiously.

Even though Lu Yanchen had learned how to swim, he mustn’t enter the waters... no!

She was clear of his swimming capabilities—it was 100m at best.

However, that was such a huge river... How could he have jumped in? No way! He wouldn’t have thought of trying to escape through the river.

Besides, with the landslide coming down, the best method of escaping was not to follow it down into the river, but up against it. Having been in the military for two years—the special forces to boot—there was no way Lu Yanchen wouldn’t know that.

Shi Guang gripped the arm of the rescue helper tightly. “What about the mountain? Did you guys rush up the mountain? He must be up there! Could you guys please head up to find him?”

The rescue helper peeled Shi Guang’s hand away. “At a juncture as such, the conditions on top of the mountain would only get worse as time goes by, with even more landslides coming down.”

Shi Guang yelled out, “But, you guys can’t possibly just ignore those people up on the mountain, right?”

The rescue helper frowned. “Of course, we’re not ignoring them. There are naturally rescue helpers tasked for the mountain, but that can’t be a huge group. Also, there are helicopters that are searching near the river as well. Just wait patiently!”

By the end of his words, his tone was no longer as courteous as he turned around and left.

Every single rescue team only had 5 people in it. With the skies this dark and the limited number of people heading up the mountains, god knew how long it would take before they could get everyone down.

Shi Guang was left standing with her head slumped down at the side of the road, her lips pale and her eyes listless. Fear, desolation, pressure, and despair were creeping on her. However, she did not want to cry because she believed firmly that he would be fine.

Only, how should she go about looking for him!

Hold on... How could she have forgotten his identity! Chief Lu... Chief Lu!

Immediately, Shi Guang whisked her phone out and searched for Chief Lu’s number. She had forgotten to inform his family at first notice now that something had happened to him.

Even though she did not want mummy to get anxious, she forgot that given Chief Lu’s position, he would definitely be able to get someone to search for him up the mountain!

It didn’t take many rings before the call connected and the authoritative voice of Chief Lu rang out.

“Shi Guang...”

Shi Guang’s eyes brimmed with tears as she called out softly, “Daddy...”

“What happened? Tell me everything slowly,” Chief Lu’s voice was casual and low, yet carrying a deep sense of encompassing warmth. Furthermore, they had recognized some other person as their life savior, even somehow causing Shi Guang’s family to meet with such a tragic accident. He indeed felt a measure of guilt and apology.

Whether or not she had saved Lu Yanchen, the fact that she was now his wife was reason enough for Chief Lu to try and help her with anything she wanted.

“There’s a landslide where we’re at and Yanchen is trapped within! Even though he clearly must have run up the mountainside, they insisted that he went along with the river! How could he be in the river! There’s no way Yanchen would go into the river! Daddy, you know how much he is against the waters! And yet, they’re not willing to send too many people up the mountains, claiming that having too many people there would result in accidents! But, it’s been almost an entire day from the morning till now and there’s still no sign of Yanchen! Daddy, please save Yanchen...!”

Chief Lu’s desk was impeccably clean, with many miniature figures of artillery and missile models. At that moment, his palm that was resting on the desk quivered, and a trace of uncertainty slipped through that usually iron face of his.

He knew that there had been a landslide somewhere, but weren’t Yanchen and Shi Guang both in the capital? Why would he be there...?
