Chapter 331 - 331 Breakdown
331 Breakdown
“No, we won’t.” Qiao Jing patted her hand.
Qiao Yue nodded as she felt inexplicably relieved.
It was fine even if she was trapped here tonight. The Godfather had left her alone in the rainforest and other types of jungles many times before. She had long mastered the skills of surviving in the wild.
The driver fiddled with the bus for a while but still couldn’t fix it, and the passengers became anxious.
They were at the top of the mountain, so walking all the way back down wasn’t practical. The road was slippery with snow and it’s almost night. Who knew if there would be wild beasts in the jungle at night?
Even if they called for cars from Hanshan City, they wouldn’t be able to drive up the mountain in daylight.
Qiao Yue glanced at Qiao Jing. “I’ll go down and take a look.”
Qiao Jing nodded and asked his assistant to follow Qiao Yue down.
Su Yan, the assistant he had brought along this time, had just taken up the job because his usual assistant had a problem with his visa. So, he had specially transferred an experienced person from a branch office to be Qiao Jing’s assistant.
Su Yan wasn’t bad. She was quick-witted and good at reading people.
Qiao Yue got off the bus and walked to the front of it.
When everyone saw that it was Qiao Yue, they made way for him to walk to the front of the bus.
The hood had already been opened, revealing all sorts of vehicle parts inside. Some parts were already rusty and there was a strong smell of engine oil in the air.
Qiao Yue took a wrench and turned it several times on two of the smoking parts. She then dismantled the parts and found that the circuit inside had been fried.
“These two are fried. Do you have any spares?” Qiao Yue looked at the driver.
The driver looked away guiltily and stuttered, “I don’t…”
Most vehicles would have this kind of spare parts, but for some reason, this bus didn’t have any. Qiao Yue’s eyes swept over the driver coldly.
“How many years have you been working for the Yin family?”
“Five years…”
Five years wasn’t a short time, how could this driver be so bad?
“I’ll talk to the master of the Yin family. You can’t work like this.” Qiao Yue said as she observed the driver’s expression.
For some reason, the driver didn’t look scared. He seemed relieved.
“If there are no spares, we’ll have to wait for someone to deliver the parts to us. There should be something like tents in the bus in case of emergency. Please bring them out.”
The driver nodded.
The driver and a few male doctors took out a few large tents from the bus. There were even a few heat stoves. It looked like they were set for a camping trip.
Qiao Yue chuckled. “I didn’t expect the Yin family’s way of welcoming their guests is to leave us camping in the wilderness.”
“We didn’t expect this to happen either. Besides, we’ve already prepared some camping equipment. We hope that our distinguished guests from C-Country can bear with it for a little while.”
The person-in-charge sent by the Yin family lowered his head and apologized, but he didn’t seem sorry.
“It doesn’t matter if the Yin family doesn’t deal with your dereliction of duty. The Qiao family will take action.” A man said coldly.
Qiao Jing put an arm around Qiao Yue’s shoulder and stood behind her.
Qiao Yue watched the two men rush to the side of the bus, pretending to help with the tents, and laughed. “It looks like we really can’t go down the mountain tonight.”
“I’ll get someone from Hanshan City to take us away.” Qiao Jing took out his phone; he had probably made calls.
Qiao Yue shook her head. “It might be interesting to experience survival in the wild. What do you think, second brother?”
If Qiao Jing wanted to, he could have called a helicopter to take the two of them away.
Qiao Jing didn’t welcome the thought of having to stay the night on the mountain. After all, he was used to the warm bed and warm scent of his room at the Qiao residence.
However, when he saw the anticipation in Qiao Yue’s eyes, he suddenly looked forward to roughing it out for the night.
“Alright,” Qiao Jing said and turned off his phone. “I’ll camp with you.”
Qiao Yue was stunned. She had just counted the number of tents. It was just enough for two people to a tent, and the number of men and women in the team happened to be even.
She couldn’t find a female doctor to bunk with her.
Didn’t it mean that she would have to bunk with Qiao Jing?
While Qiao Yue was still pondering over this, Qiao Jing had already started setting up a tent.
“Second brother, do you mean that you and I will bunk together?”
“What’s the alternative? Are you going to bunk with those female doctors?” Qiao Jing skillfully set up the tent while he looked at Qiao Yue teasingly.
