“Okay, Brother, you too—”
Nan Yu was about to say a few more words when the phone suddenly went silent, quickly turning into a rapid beeping sound.
No signal.
But this was enough.
A relieved smile appeared on everyone’s faces, knowing that someone was coming to rescue them soon. The long, seemingly endless wait suddenly became something to look forward to.
Nan Yu gave Li Yuanmo a thumbs-up: “Well done! Bro!”
After she finished speaking, Fei Yunjin immediately joined in the clapping: “Xiao Bai’s brother, you’re awesome~”
Clap, clap, clap—
Everyone clapped simultaneously, the sound not loud but perfectly synchronized, and a few even hilariously imitated Fei Yunjin’s voice.
“Xiao Bai~ Brother~ You’re so awesome~”
Li Yuanmo: “…”
His brow could probably trap two flies.
Nan Yu had no doubt that if it weren’t for this situation, Li Yuanmo would have killed her with his eyes.
An hour didn’t go by quickly, but it was not slow either.
About fifty-two minutes later, Nan Yu, with her keen ears, was the first to hear a call for help.
“Someone’s here!”
Instantly, everyone’s spirits lifted!
Thanks to Nan Yu’s alert, the professional rescue team quickly located their exact trapped position.
The experienced workers began to move the stones and cement little by little, knowing that they couldn’t rush things at this point, lest they cause a second collapse.
Since everyone was already there, there was no rush; safety was paramount.
Soon, a ray of natural light shone into the room.
“How are you?”
“We’re fine!”
Having survived such a sudden earthquake, everyone felt incredibly fortunate to have gone back home and burned incense to thank their ancestors for their blessings.
Half an hour later, the trapped people were rescued one after another.
An Ning was the first to be rescued. As soon as she came out of the underground, she was immediately placed on a stretcher.
Nan Ji held her hand tightly and said, “Wife.”
This grown man almost cried.
“I’m fine. Go check on Yiran and Yu Yu first.”
Seeing that An Ning seemed indeed alright, Nan Ji turned to look at An Yiran. Seeing that he was also unharmed, Nan Ji smiled broadly: “Son, well done!”
An Yiran smiled proudly: “I will definitely protect Mom.”
At this moment, Nan Yu and Fei Yizheng also came out.
Nan Yu casually pulled out the man named Zhang Tao and handed him to the bodyguard beside her. Once he was out, she couldn’t just tie him up, otherwise, it would be illegal detention.
Nan Yu freed Zhang Tao’s feet, but kept his hands tied, to prevent him from making any dangerous moves.
Since Zhang Tao hadn’t done anything illegal before, he would probably be released and sent home soon. But Nan Yu would have someone investigate him carefully to see what was going on.
Afterward, Nan Yu didn’t leave immediately, but instead bent down to pull out the others who hadn’t come out yet; the sooner they were all out, the better.
Fei Yizheng and Li Yuanmo were also helping out.
Fei Yunjin followed Li Yibai toward Nan Ji, while Zhang Tao followed the bodyguards. Nan Yu had instructed them to keep an eye on him, and the bodyguards naturally obeyed.
However, the unexpected happened at that moment.
Zhang Tao suddenly shoved the bodyguard aside and rushed straight toward the stretcher where An Ning was lying at lightning speed, clearly showing no intention of stopping.
If An Ning were to be knocked down at this moment, she would likely be in danger!
Nan Ji’s eyes widened instantly, but he was on the other side of the stretcher and couldn’t reach her in time: “No!!!”
Nan Yu turned around.
Thump—
The sound of a body hitting the ground.
Not An Ning.
But Zhang Tao… and Fei Yunjin.
“Xiao Jin!”
“Xiao Jin, are you alright?”
It turned out that in that critical moment, Fei Yunjin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Like a small cannonball, he rammed his head into Zhang Tao’s stomach. The momentum sent both of them flying in opposite directions.
Because of his small size and light weight, Fei Yunjin even flew a short distance.
“I’m fine!”
Ignoring his scraped arms and aching body, Fei Yunjin flashed a bright smile at Nan Yu, who was rushing toward him: “Xiao Jin can protect everyone too!”
