CHAPTER 219: CHAPTER 219: GOING TO BE MOCKED BY HIM FOR A LIFETIME

He called Lin Banxia’s phone several times in a row, but it was always unanswered.

This woman couldn’t have really died just like that, right?

No, she couldn’t die—not yet. He hadn’t gotten his revenge on her, hadn’t tormented her, neglected her, ... loved her!

When those last two words sliced through his heart, Huo Yanting’s brow pinched in anguish.

Qi Han held a tracker in his hands, operating it while the helicopter sped urgently toward the direction he pointed.

At this moment, the entire nation was gripped with anxiety over this sudden earthquake.

The government immediately mobilized the military for rescue efforts, and countless volunteers bravely stepped up to assist.

Huo Yanting was on the helicopter, his phone ringing incessantly. He promptly instructed his company to donate a hundred million yuan to relief.

Lin Banxia had been trapped in the car for nearly two hours now. Because her car had overturned onto its side, her body was suspended along with it, her leg tightly pinned. Any movement threatened to shatter her bones, leaving her paralyzed with fear and pain.

The torment was unbearable!

This pain was several times worse than anything left by memories from her past life.

She shouldn’t have come here herself, risking everything. But if she hadn’t come, she wouldn’t have discovered that so many things in this life were connected to her past life.

She remembered that when she fell into the sea in her past life, she seemed to have shouted Huo Yanting’s name—several times.

At this moment...

If she shouted his name now, would it have any effect?

Would he miraculously appear before her and pull her out of this damned car?

Lin Banxia laughed bitterly. Even if she shouted, it would be pointless—there was no way Huo Yanting would come here to save her.

"Huo Yanting..."

"Huo Yanting..."

"Huo Yanting!... Save me!"

Though she knew he wouldn’t show up, Lin Banxia still disregarded every ounce of her dignity and shouted his name three times.

She wasn’t truly hoping for Huo Yanting to rescue her. She just wanted to make some noise to draw the attention of the rescuers and have them save her in time.

Just after her shouts faded, she heard hurried footsteps rushing toward her.

She was stunned at first, then overjoyed!

Someone really had come to save her—it turned out screaming a few times was effective after all.

"So you’re not dead yet!" Just as Lin Banxia was overwhelmed with joy, a familiar voice, laced with mockery, rang out.

Hearing the deep and unmistakable male voice, Lin Banxia’s face turned pale, as if she had seen a ghost.

"Huo... Huo Yanting? How could it be you?" She struggled to peer out through the warped car window, only to lock eyes with a pair of piercing, profound ink-black eyes. Her heart lurched violently, nearly stopping altogether.

"Weren’t you just screaming my name earlier? Well, you’re in luck—I happened to pass by..." Huo Yanting’s helicopter was parked some distance away, as this stretch of road was buried under landslide debris, making it impossible to land. Bringing along several bodyguards and his assistant Qi Han, Huo Yanting had run several kilometers to finally locate her position.

Huo Yanting surveyed the chaotic surroundings with a tightly clenched heart, until...

In the deathly stillness of the mountain forest, he heard a girl’s shouts. She was calling his name...

The sheer joy of that moment was something only he could understand.

Lin Banxia was still alive—and she was calling his name.

Huo Yanting felt elated, but Lin Banxia only wanted to bury her face in shame.

It’s over—was she going to be mocked by this man for the rest of her life?
