When An Fengyang saw the news, the first thing he did was to call Chu Ningyi. However, he was met with a response that the number was currently unavailable.
At this moment, if anyone close to Chu Ningyi called him, they would receive the same response that his number was currently unavailable.
An Fengyang paced the living room as he called Chu Ningyi’s number from time to time.
Wen Xin held her belly gently as she stood at the bedroom doorway, watching An Fengyang as he paced.
“Why don’t you go and check it out? I can manage on my own here.” Wen Xin gently offered.
She knows that An Fengyang cares deeply about Shui Anluo as if he were her older brother. Therefore, she does not want An Fengyang to live with regret.
An Fengyang ran over and hugged Wen Xin before he softly said, “Take good care of yourself. Who knows where Eldest Chu has run off to, I can’t contact him. I’ve got to go check on him,”
Wen Xin nodded. “Hurry and go, don’t worry about me.”
An Fengyang kissed Wen Xin again before he turned around and left.
Wen Xin stroked her belly and softly murmured, “Auntie will be alright, she’s such a good person.”
The news of Shui Anluo’s accident spread like wildfire. In ‘A’ City, things could easily get out of hand but not a single person was able to contact Chu Ningyi.
Some say that Chu Ningyi has gone to search for Shui Anluo himself. Some even said that Chu Ningyi has dumped Shui Anluo alone and left the country just like he did last year. Some have even claimed that Chu Ningyi has committed suicide to be with her.
After four days of devastation, the storm finally left ‘A’ City’s sky.
The search continued but they were unable to find her.
This was the first time Chu Mobai had given a public order. Shui Anluo must be found, dead or alive. If she could not be found, they were to keep searching. No one in the media was allowed to say anything about Shui Anluo’s sacrifice before she was found.
It smelled like mud everywhere as Shui Anluo hugged herself tightly and endured the pain from the slash of a stone. She then looked up at the lush forest. She could not walk out of this place.
Shui Anluo looked down at her calves. They were littered with bruises from being struck by rocks. Shui Anluo reached out and touched the bruise situated in the middle of her calf bone. That was where she had been hit.
Shui Anluo admitted that she was not able to stand properly because someone had hit her calf with a rock. Unfortunately, her entire body was now injured from being battered and bruised by rocks in the landslide. Even if she survived this and claimed that someone had done this on purpose, no one would believe her.
Besides, would she be able to walk out of this alive anyway?
“Chu Ningyi, Chu Ningyi…” Shui Anluo hugged her knees again and cried out softly.
If the broken tree had not blocked her way downstream, it was likely that she would have been washed away by the water.
“Chu Ningyi, I won’t fight with you anymore, okay? Chu Ningyi, do you have any idea what’s happened to me?” Shui Anluo groaned softly but only the sound of the birds chirping replied her.
Rustle… Rustle…
There was the slithering sound of a snake crawling toward her. Shui Anluo shivered as she looked up at the green snake that was crawling down from the tree.
The green snake did not look very big but its entire body was green and it had a distinctive triangular-shaped head.
It was a viper and an extremely poisonous one too!
Shui Anluo began to tremble. She could no longer care about the pain in her leg and tried frantically to leave the large tree.
However, the green snake suddenly attacked.
“Ah!”
Shui Anluo screamed, startling the birds perched in the trees into flight.
