“No need to know, not important!” Ye Junqing bluntly spat out the six words.
Xiao Yun perceptively noticed, while Junqing was speaking these six words, he was fiddling with two mermaids attached to his keyring.
Xiao Yun could not yet discern the meaning behind this action, but he clearly sensed the stubbornness in Junqings six words.
A thought flashed through Xiao Yun’s mind: he’s as stubborn as a mule.
If Xiao Yun had a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare utter these words; all he could do was grumble in his mind. Regardless, he decided to alert all his subordinates to keep a close eye on Miss Ye in the future. So they wouldn’t end up like Fu Zhuo, completely oblivious, and left to suffer in the downpour unaware of the circumstances.
Just then, a voice from the car radio’s host came: “We are now interrupting for the latest traffic update, the sudden downpour has resulted in city flooding. He Garden Road is severely waterlogged with numerous cars submerged, including a school bus from the capital city trapped underneath the overpass. For detailed casualties, stay tuned. We advise all drivers to avoid the flooded section and keep an eye on our latest traffic updates.”
Hearing this, the man whose complexion hadn’t improved, frowned and asked, “How much further to He Garden Road?”
The driver replied, “Sir, it’s just one street away. Shall I find an alternative route home?”
“No need, let’s head for the rescue.’
The driver was momentarily stunned but soon accelerated.
Eleven Rolls Royces roared against the pouring rain and hadn’t even reached five hundred meters before they were caught in traffic. Ye Junqing observed the stationary queue, and while pushing the door open, said, “Xiao Yun, take all the bodyguards and go rescue the stranded school bus.”
“Yes, sir.”
Xiao Yun immediately followed Junqings lead and got out of the car, attempting to open an umbrella for him.
Ye Junqing waved him off: “Nevermind me, go save them first.”
On low-lying He Garden Road, the water level had reached the seats of the school bus, it was filled with first-graders. The driver had blacked out from hitting his head on the steering wheel after a rear-end collision. The bus also had a young tour guide and a female teacher. When Xiao Yun arrived, the teacher and guide were helplessly trying to calm the screaming crying children.
There were only two altruistic bystanders with half their bodies submerged in the water, extending their arms trying to take the children one by one from the young guide to a safe area. Meanwhile, a reporter from the TV station was broadcasting live from the waterlogged scene.
Ye Xingguang couldn’t care less about following the reporter proudly. On her way, she had bought a one-body raincoat and directly joined the rescue mission.
A lightning bolt fell, chilling Ye Xingguang to the bone.
She braved her fears, tightened her body-length raincoat from head to toe, stood in front of the bus window, stretched out her arms to take a terrified student from the female teacher’s arms, all the while calming the child and walking towards a less flooded area…
Xiao Yun rushed over with his men, brushed past Ye Xingguang in the dim light, instinctively looked back and gave Ye Junqing, who was behind them, a sign: “Sir, Miss Ye is also here.”
Following the direction of Xiao Yun’s gesture, Ye Junqing saw Ye Xingguang half-submerged in the water, tightly holding a child in her arms.
Just as a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, the bright light illuminated Ye Xingguangs face. For that split second, Ye Junqing saw her pale face, incapable of taking care of herself but still desperately protecting the child in her arms.
Ye Junqings heart clenched fiercely, “Damn it,” he thought.. “Doesn’t she know her limits? Trying to act brave at a time like this?”
