His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

With Chief Lu stepping in, the matter was resolved swiftly.

He even consoled Shi Guang, asking her not to worry since Lu Yanchen was once in the special forces and was no ordinary man—someone like him definitely knew how to protect himself to the greatest extents in the face of danger, and he would definitely be fine.

However, the uneasiness and worry in her heart was still consuming her whole—she truly had no way of resting easy.

This was especially the case when they arrived at the place where the coat was found. Looking at the car that was parked there with its back having been crushed entirely by the landslide, she felt as though her soul was about to pop out of her.

She had requested to head up to the mountain to help with the search, but was rejected. Thus, she could do nothing but watch there helplessly with her palpitating heart while the others searched around with a life detector.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted out, “Everyone, here! There’s someone beneath!”

Shi Guang snapped out of her stupor and rushed over as they dug the person out. However, it wasn’t Lu Yanchen. The person was injured and unconscious, so they sent him to a hospital immediately as everyone else resumed their search operations.

It was almost 6pm now, close to 12 hours since the landslides had first started.

12 hours was the golden window for rescue. Every single minute that went beyond this period spelled a minute of danger.

Suddenly, everyone that was sent up the mountains were evacuated down, claiming that there was something wrong with the way the rain was coming down, and that they had to send most people down, leaving only an extremely small group up there to continue searching.

Shi Guang was frantic now.

How could they evacuate before he was found!

But, if the rain conditions didn’t seem right, any single landslide could cause everyone else to be in danger as well. After all, humans were but ants in the face of the mighty powers of Mother Nature.

Shi Guang knew that she could not insist on these people to give up their lives just to find Lu Yanchen as well.

Looking at a couple of rescue helpers removing their gear beside her, Shi Guang took the chance when no one was noticing to sneak up the mountain. She had taken note of the places where the rescue helpers had searched earlier on and made sure she did not head there, going elsewhere instead.

The mountain paths were extremely difficult to navigate with the jagged rocks as Shi Guang struggled with difficult steps to enter the depths of the mountains. Her face was resolute and firm, looking as though even the skies crashing down would not impede her determination to seek out Lu Yanchen.

By the time she was halfway up the mountain, a sudden crash boomed out, causing the entire place to rattle and everyone to sway along with it.

Through the thick veil of rain, Shi Guang made out an enormous landslide gushing down from a slope opposite her, bringing with it a rain of destruction as all the trees and rocks were uprooted and brought down with it.

The entire forest was devasted till it was barely recognizable.

Shi Guang stood in the rain for a long time, so frightened that she could barely make a move.

She suddenly recalled about the image of a landslide back in a Shenzhen industrial park where the damaged area was 380,000 meters, causing 33 gigantic buildings and structures to be buried within it or upturned entirely.

In the face of such apocalyptic destruction where even structures were rampaged upon, there was truly no room for puny humans.

Shi Guang’s body could not help but break into a shiver once more.

In reality, she was truly afraid. However, she chose to firmly believe that Lu Yanchen was fine.

There was a strange feeling she had that Lu Yanchen should be nearby. Heaving a deep breath of air, she composed herself and started searching further, shouting as she went by, “LU YANCHEN! WHERE ARE YOU? ANSWER ME IF YOU HEAR ME, LU YANCHEN…!”
