Nightfall.

A night of incessant drizzle.

In the midst of the clamor of the rescue teams, Song Zhizhi thought she heard a voice.

She could barely make it out, yet it had reached her clearly.

“It’s Ji Baijian!”

What Yin Qin had said was, Ji Baijian.

Her eyes were reddened.

Tears were falling uncontrollably, streaming down non-stop.

But at that moment, she couldn’t afford to pause, hastening to climb up the rubble and search for Ji Baijian.

By now, Wei Ziming and Luo Xiaolang had joined the rescue team. Song Zhizhi, with her limited strength and not being much help, could only wait on the side, hoping for good news.

She maintained her composure as she finally reached Yin Qin.

A crowed had already gathered around. Many were cautiously intending to dig Ji Baijian out.

“Don’t move him.”, Yin Qin cautioned, noticing a rock pressing on Ji Baijian.

Song Zhizhi crawled over.

She saw Ji Baijian.

Saw his weakened face.

His eyes were closed at that moment, his entire body motionless.

The life detector next to Yin Qin was making a ticking sound.

‘We need to remove the excess debris around him first, then figure out how to lift the pieces of rebar and concrete pressing on him. Otherwise, if we lift one piece, another might fall on him.” , advised a seasoned rescue worker right away.

“Right.” , commanded Yin Qin, “Everyone get to work.”

At once, the people around started moving. Fearing that touching the stone would trigger another collapse, they had no choice but to painstakingly remove the debris bit by bit with their fingers.

Song Zhizhi joined in, proceeding with extreme caution.

A long time passed.

Eventually, all the rubble surrounding Ji Baijian was cleared, revealing two large intersecting rocks pressing on him. They supported each other, sparing him from being buried alive. Now, they were however precisely the problem that stumped the rescue workers.

If they removed the top rock, the one below would lose its support and crush his head.

No.

This wouldn’t work

Yet if they didn’t remove it, there was no way to get Ji Baijian out.

The rescue workers were debating how to extricate him!

Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian whose face was covered in dust, his entire body aside from his face appeared severely injured and now, his life hung in the balance.

She called out to him, “Ji Baijian.”

Ji Baijian seemed to twitch at the corner of his eyes.

Song Zhizhi said, “Ji Baijian, don’t die.” Ji Baijian still didn’t open his eyes.

“Don’t die.”, Song Zhizhi said, word by word.

At that moment. Song Zhizhi thought she perceived a slight movement in Ji Baijian’s face.

It was very slight, very slight, almost as if he were nodding.

Song Zhizhi smiled.

Despite her tears flowing non-stop.

The crowd was still discussing things, because the rebar concrete pressing on Ji Baijian was very rigid. They had tried many alternatives, but all proved to be dangerous.

Song Zhizhi turned to look at Yin Qin, observing as he anxiously discussed with others.

Song Zhizhi asked, “Can’t we lift both rocks simultaneously?”

Yin Qin was taken aback.

Everybody was taken aback.

Song Zhizhi repeated, “Since we can’t touch the top rock and the bottom rock can’t move, can’t we remove them from his body at the same time?”

Yes!

Why not!

The problem was, they had been foolish.

Everybody had been caught up in an endless loop, focusing on how to remove one piece of the concrete while ensuring the safety of the person below. They had considered from the top as well as the bottom, but nobody thought of lifting both pieces simultaneously.

Yin Qin said, “Estimate the weight of both pieces of concrete. Now lift both of them at once.”

“Right.”

The rescuers immediately resumed their work.

After more than ten minutes.

In order to guard against any mishaps, Yin Qin had everything handled manually instead of using an excavator. They feared that an inattentive moment might risk more pressure and turn Ji Baijian into a bloody pulp.

Within moments, over 50 robust young men were lifting two huge pieces of rebar concrete together.

Pulling together with shouts of synchronization, “One, Two, Three, Four!”, they finally lifted the two gigantic stones off Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian was finally excavated.

Nearby, ready team members swiftly lifted Ji Baijian onto a medical stretcher and hurriedly carried him towards an ambulance parked at a distance.

Song Zhizhi and everyone else hurriedly followed.

“Song Zhizhi, ride with us in the minivan ,” Wei Ziming said.

“I want to stay with Ji Baijian,” Song Zhizhi confirmed.

Without hesitating a moment, she stepped right into the ambulance.

Wei Ziming gritted his teeth.

In the end, he had to follow Song Zhizhi, with Luo Xiaolang sticking close.

There was limited space in the ambulance.

At this moment, Yin Qin didn’t contest with Song Zhizhi, he and others returned to the minivan, following the ambulance towards the hospital.

At this moment, Ji Baiiian was on oxygen, looking weak and drained.

The ambulance was moving very fast.

Quickly heading to the hospital.

Song Zhizhi kept holding Ji Baijian’s hand.

His hand, left bloody traces all over.

In fact, her hand wasn’t much better. It was marred with injuries too.

The ambulance was really fast.

In fact, it seemed to be speeding!

Song Zhizhi looked out the window, certain it wasn’t her imagination.

Although rescue was crucial, speeding wasn’t necessary.

Before Song Zhizhi said anything, the medical staff next to Ji Baijian also noticed the oddity. They approached the driver and said, “Could you slow down, safety is most important…Who are you?!”

The medical staff suddenly shouted.

Song Zhizhi was startled.

A surge of alert swept through Wei Ziming and Luo Xiaolang.

“Who are you? You are not our driver!” The medical staff freaked out, sensing something was off,

“Where are you heading? This isn’t the way to the hospital, stop the car now!”

The driver did not respond,

As the cabin and cockpit of the ambulance were separated, medical staff had no way to halt the driver, they could only yell uselessly.

The vehicle sped faster!

Song Zhizhi understood something instantly.

She turned to look at Wei Ziming.

Wei Ziming gave her a look in return.

Song Zhizhi gripped onto Ji Baijian’s hand tightly.

That instant, Ji Baijian reached out and held her hand firmly.

Song Zhizhi’s heart missed a beat.

Wei Ziming signaled Luo Xiaolang with his eyes.

Luo Xiaolang nodded.

The vehicle suddenly slammed on the brake.

The medical staff who were fussing the whole time, this time actually tumbled over.

Song Zhizhi hugged Ji Baijian’s body, shaking violently with the vehicle.

The ambulance came to a stop.

The driver immediately got off, without closing the driver’s door, the vehicle then started to tilt.

It tilted downwards.

Somebody was pushing the ambulance from outside, and at the area where there should have been guardrails, there was nothing. Just right for the ambulance to be pushed over easily.

Below was a tall cliff.

Certain death awaited.

Wei Ziming and Luo Xiaolang had been prepared. The moment the car stopped, they smashed open the side window. They realized that the back door would’ve impossible to open and therefore, didn’t hesitate to waste time. The window shattered, and Luo Xiaolang leapt out instantly, zooming toward and kicking away the driver who was trying to push the ambulance.

The driver was a step away from success.

The ambulance was hanging on the edge of the cliff.

“Don’t move!” Wei Ziming suddenly yelled.

It was one of the medical staff, who was startled and nearly rose to his feet.

“Nobody move.” Wei Ziming reminded.

At this moment, the slightest movement would cause the vehicle’s balance to be disrupted, and it would topple over the edge.

All eyes were on Wei Ziming.

Wei Ziming turned his gaze to Song Zhizhi, who was clutching onto Ji Baijian tightly.

The ambulance was wobbling dangerously from the edge.

Luo Xiaolang was fighting fiercely with people outside.

The driver attempted many times to give the ambulance a push. Just one nudge would cause it to tumble down, but every attempt was thwarted by Luo Xiaolang. Meanwhile, a minivan that Luo Xiaolang thought he had shook off earlier was now approaching fast. His face hardened, and he made a quick exit.

Luo Xiaolang dared not follow him.

He quickly made his way towards the ambulance, careful not to touch it for fear that it might fall from the cliff.

The minivan also came to a sudden halt.

Everyone alighted from the vehicle, and Yin Qin asked loudly, “Are they up there?!”

Luo Xiaolang nodded.

“Dammit!” Yin Qin cursed.

They had barely saved Ji Baijian from the perilous situation only for him to be stuck at the edge of a cliff now.

Who could have imagined that someone was desperate to kill him. “Let’s first see if we can secure it.” Ji Baili suggested, staying calm.

Yin Qin nodded.

Everyone observed the situation inside the ambulance.

Yin Qin instructed, “Bring over some large rocks!”

Everyone scurried to collect stones, placing them gently behind the rear wheels where the ambulance was hanging over the edge.

After confirming that the vehicle was somewhat secure, Yin Qin retrieved a tow-rope from the minivan’s trunk, fastened it onto the ambulance, and directed, “Drive and pull them back gently. As soon as you see the front tires land on the ground, quickly move the rocks away.”

“Alright.” Ji Baili nodded.

Yin Qin quickly returned to the minivan, started the engine, and slowly began towing the ambulance back safely onto the ground.

Everyone exhaled in relief.

The ambulance doors opened.

Wei Ziming, carrying Ji Baijian, got down from the vehicle.

Song Zhizhi followed, and the medical staff appeared weak in their knees. But no one had the time to bother about them; all they needed to ensure was that they were away from any immediate danger. They couldn’t hang around too long, fearing that the person who had fled might return with reinforcements.

Everyone got into the vehicle, and Yin Qin quickly drove away from the scene.

As he was driving, Yin Qin asked, “Where to now? The hospital?”

“No,” Song Zhizhi replied, “If we go to the hospital, we’ll definitely be traced. Thinking rationally, anyone would expect us to take Ji Baijian to the hospital.”

“Then where are we heading now?”

“The airport.”

“Are we heading back now?” Yin Qin was astonished, “Can Ji Baijian get on a plane in his current condition?”

“Yes,” Song Zhizhi asserted confidently.

Yin Qin knitted his brows.

In the end, they headed towards the airport.

Returning home was the safest option.

Yin Qin promptly drove to the airport.

Upon reaching, he asked, “Should we buy the tickets now?”

“Yes,” Song Zhizhi nodded, “Baili, go buy some suitable clothes for Ji Baijian to change into at the airport.”

“Alright,” Ji Baili replied.

After all, Ji Baijian’s clothes were heavily soaked in blood.

Song Zhizhi turned to Yan Zhen, “How is he?”

As soon as they got into the car, Yan Zhen started examining Ji Baijian’s injuries. He said, “He’ll survive.”

“Alright.”

Yin Qin and Ji Baili got out of the car.

The others waited in the airport parking lot.

Yan Zhen was carefully tending to Ji Baijian’s wounds.

The extent of his injuries wasn’t immediately clear.

But it was apparent that this man was extremely resilient.

After about ten minutes, Yin Qin and Ji Baili returned.

Song Zhizhi addressed Ji Baijian, “I’ll help you change now. You rest a bit, then you’ll need to walk through security by yourself. Is that alright?”

As soon as he said this,

Jingxiang lost her cool. She grabbed onto Song Zhizhi’s hand and demanded, “Have you gone mad? Do you have any idea how much Ji Baijian is injured right now? You think just because Yan Zhen says he’ll survive, he actually will? Are you risking Ji Baijian’s life just for your own safety? I’ve been biting my tongue for too long!”

The sudden outburst took everyone by surprise.

Song Zhizhi said, “This is the only way to guarantee our safety! We must return to our country immediately. Who knows what could happen here!”

“I’m not leaving!” protested Qin Jingxiang. “If you’re afraid and want to run, go ahead. I’ll stay with Ji Baijian!”

“Isn’t everything we’ve experienced today enough?” Song Zhizhi replied, growing frustrated. “You have no idea who wants Ji Baijian dead. What makes you think staying here would be safer than returning home immediately! We don’t even know if Ji Baijian’s accident was actually one. We got attacked midway, this isn’t our turf in M Country, we’re clueless about the size of the team behind this!”

“I don’t know. All I know is, by doing this, you’re killing Ji Baijian!”

“He won’t die!”

“So just because you say he won’t, he won’t? Don’t you know the stone crushed his thigh? A fracture? No, shattered bone – do you have any idea how much that hurts? You’re going to let him walk through a security check!” Qin Jingxiang was furious.

Her normally demure appearance was entirely replaced.

Perhaps this was the real Qin Jingxiang.

Both women stood ready for a battle.

The atmosphere inside the whole business car turned tense in an instant.

Who knew a quarrel between two women could have such an impact? Yin Qin touched his nose uncertainly, unsure how to make a decision.

It seemed like both women had valid points.

He just didn’t know what to choose.

And so, the stalemate lasted for more than a few seconds.

Suddenly, Qin Jingxiang stood up and firmly pushed Song Zhizhi away from Ji Baijian. “Baijian, I will take you.”

Song Zhizhi watched as Qin Jingxiang grabbed Ji Baijian’s arm, trying to help him up.

“No need.” Ji Baijian suddenly spoke. His voice wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t soft either.

He was calm.

Qin Jingxiang looked at him.

Ji Baijian pushed her hand away.

Qin Jingxiang looked upset. Ji Baijian said, “Song Zhizhi, come here.”

Song Zhizhi approached him.

“Help me change clothes. Keep Yin Qin here, everyone else should leave first,” Ji Baijian commanded.

At that moment, Qin Jingxiang stared at Ji Baijian.

And so.

Since Ji Baijian had spoken, no one dared to speak up again.

“Jingxiang, why don’t you go ahead and wait outside? After all, this is a matter between husband and wife…” Yin Qin attempted to play the peacemaker.

Qin Jingxiang shot Yin Qin a furious glance and stormed out of the car. Now, only Ji Baijian, Song Zhizhi, and Yin Qin remained in the vehicle.

Yin Qin was tasked with administering the injection.

Given Ji Baijian’s current condition, it was impossible for Song Zhizhi to dress him alone.

“Ji Baijian, are you going to die?” Song Zhizhi asked.

“No.” Ji Baijian stated decisively.

Song Zhizhi swallowed, then said as she helped Ji Baijian out of his clothes, “If you die, I’ll remarry immediately. I’ll fall in love with another man, have a lot of children with him, and then, every year, I’ll bring them and my new husband to visit your grave, so smoke will rise from it every year!”

Listening to her, Yin Qin couldn’t help but think that when women turn ruthless, they can be more terrifying than men.

With that threat, Ji Baijian probably didn’t even dare to entertain the thought of dying.

At that moment, Ji Baijian seemed to smile, “I understand.”

His tone was light.

But the next moment, he winced in pain.

‘Yin Qin, be more gentle!” Song Zhizhi suddenly yelled.

Yin Qin felt unfairly accused.

With Ji Baijian’s condition, touching him anywhere would cause pain; he was already being extremely careful.

But he nonetheless gently continued helping Ji Baijian change clothes. Ji Baijian winced again.

“Yin Qin, can’t you be more gentle!” Song Zhizhi shouted again.

Yin Qin was so startled he didn’t dare to move.

Wasn’t he being careful enough, despite his large, manly hands being as gentle as if he was handling a delicate flower?

But then…

Yin Qin looked at Ji Baijian•s leg.

Could this guy really walk through a security check? Really?

He was skeptical..
