CHAPTER 1506: CHAPTER 1507: JUST MISSING YOU

However, Wei Yingyue is after all a strong woman at the top of the food chain. She soon regained her composure and said to you, "Thank you. If it weren’t for you this time, I might truly have died."

"For me, having such a memorable experience is also nice." You again showed a faint smile, glanced around, and said to Wei Yingyue, "We are not far from the collapsed kindergarten. Let’s go there."

Wei Yingyue nodded without speaking.

"Why, still troubled by the issue with that pair of scoundrels?"

Wei Yingyue froze, surprised that you had discerned the inner workings, but what Wei Yingyue hid in her heart was not that: "No, I’ve known about their conspiracy of fraud long ago, and I have enough evidence. The reason for not acting is that the timing isn’t right."

"Since that’s not the case, let’s go. Looking at your current state, if those admirers see you, your image will suffer greatly."

Wei Yingyue chuckled softly, gently brushing her hair, revealing a beautiful side to you: "I don’t care what others think; I just want to know, will you suddenly disappear without a trace like last time?"

You did not expect the conversation to eventually turn to yourself.

Interestingly, in the confined space earlier, you sensed Wei Yingyue’s inner thoughts, but didn’t expect her to speak them aloud.

You’re not a blockhead; although you’ve spent little time together, such life-and-death experiences aren’t what ordinary people can have.

You instinctively touched your nose, pondered for a moment, then recited a series of numbers to Wei Yingyue, saying, "This is my private cell number; you can call me anytime."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yingyue laughed, her smile like a crescent moon, like the stars.

For a moment, you felt ensnared entirely in her smile, unable to extricate yourself.

You led Wei Yingyue, slowly heading toward the collapse site. From the sewer, where you couldn’t notice, now on the ground, you realized how far you two had crawled in such a filthy, narrow, confined space.

Upon reaching the excavation site, you found generators set up with dozens of people vigorously digging, and the most eye-catching was Du Yanan.

At this moment, Du Yanan, lost her usual competence and charm, was bending over, endlessly shoveling debris beneath her with her hands, unlike others, she wasn’t wearing gloves. Her hands were wounded and oblivious, mechanically shoveling.

In terms of time, you and Wei Yingyue weren’t trapped for long, possibly around two hours, yet such a brief period turned a military flower admired in the Southeast Military District into a soulless state; this was certainly the destiny for you and Wei Yingyue.

Of course, you didn’t think Du Yanan’s actions were for you, knowing the relationship was never harmonious, and both weren’t familiar.

"Yanan!"

The kids you rescued were all taken away, leaving Wei Yingyue’s company’s subordinates and rescue team at the site excavating.

When Wei Yingyue’s clear call reached Du Yanan’s ears, her once dazed gaze seemed to freeze in time, slowly lifting her head, laboriously heading toward where Wei Yingyue was.

Initially, Du Yanan couldn’t believe her eyes; besides, Wei Yingyue was already a mess, lacking her usual goddess demeanor.

Quickly, those familiar with Wei Yingyue began cheer joyously, some dusty female colleagues rushed toward Wei Yingyue.

"President Wei!"

"Great! President Wei, you’re alright!"

"President Wei, seeing you, I am so happy, sob—"

In the end, the girls cried in torrents, while the male colleagues chuckled aside.

Wei Yingyue’s colleagues, usually stressed urban white-collars, golden-collars, upon seeing Wei Yingyue safe, slumped on the ground, feeling relief, their legs numb, backs warm and aching.

Du Yanan finally reached Wei Yingyue and wept.

"Ying Yue, I... I thought I’d never see you again, sob..."

The two embraced, dampening their eyes and hearts.

Witnessing this, you retreated a step, followed the men’s example, sat down, looking fatigued.

Soon after you sat down, a rescue team member handed a bottle of water.

"Thank you." You took the water and drained it in one gulp.

The rescue team member glanced at the two embracing beauties and sighed, "Not easy."

"Hmm, indeed, for them to achieve this surprised me." You nodded.

"Friend, your physique is also tough enough; under such circumstances, you managed to escape. Judging by the smell, you should have come out from the sewer?"

You nodded, "Guess fate wouldn’t let go, huh."

The man smiled, "You should shower in the temporary place; you’re very pungent."

"Okay."

After taking a comfortable hot shower and changing into clean clothes, the rescue site personnel gradually withdrew.

You found the member who gave you water and asked, "Is this area fully searched?"

"Pretty much, the rest will be handled by other rescue teams. We received orders to go to a factory, where two ’national treasure-level’ experts are trapped, need urgent rescue."

You nodded, the rescue team consisted of professional soldiers, very efficient.

"Oh, those two girls asked you to meet them at the hospital once you’re ready."

You nodded and left after saying goodbye.

Before entering the hospital, a young man stopped you, "Hi, are you Li Tian?"

You nodded, maintaining your usual indifferent demeanor.

"President Wei asked me to wait for you here; everyone is ready except you."

A slight pause, you asked, "Is it returning to Chengdu?"

The man nodded, "Yes, we’ve finished our work, and President Wei was startled; everyone decided to withdraw to Chengdu. Our main task was to transport supplies, regarding rescue, to be honest, compared to professional rescue teams and firefighters, we’re just here causing trouble."

Those words were frank; you deeply agreed, having brawn but lacking rescue expertise, plus, now that Liang Xinyue is found, there’s no reason to stay, since you were only responsible for Liang Xinyue.

Some might accuse you of being selfish hearing this.

Actually, not so; everyone lives in this world with specific duties, we shouldn’t override boundaries on impulse.

In terms of Reincarnation World, previously your duty was to execute special tasks as a special soldier, now just an ordinary person, equipped with ordinary people’s perception, not impulsively becoming a people’s hero, it’s unrealistic.

Your Master Chen Houtu, code-named Phoenix, possessed abilities beyond ordinary, often referred to as special function, super power, or other terms.

When you learned many have special abilities worldwide, you asked Master Chen Houtu why they didn’t emerge during China’s direst times.

Chen Houtu then just laughed.
