Chapter 321: Chapter 319 Believe in Me_1

Mu Yingchen’s frowned brows suddenly relaxed after hearing Su Wanxia’s words, "Wanwan, I just hope you all can stay safely by my side..."

Su Wanxia looked at him with teary eyes and a smile, indeed, they all needed to stay—safely by his side...

Sure enough, not long after they continued, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

The thunder seemed to have lessened quite a bit, but the wind outside still appeared to be strong.

They reached a turning point, where the road became wider and more even, and the cars in front finally stopped. Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but adjust his car slightly on the spot before he also came to a stop.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and the wind was blowing ceaselessly, rustling the trees on both sides.

Mu Yingchen took out his phone to check it, but there was no signal at all.

He looked at Su Wanxia and said softly, "There is food in the trunk, I’ll go get it..."

Su Wanxia suddenly stretched out her hand to hold him back, then gently shook her head, "I don’t want to eat..."

Mu Yingchen sighed lightly; he knew she was worried about Shanshan and Jian Manhui, and he was too. But the area was sparsely populated, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and it was unclear how much longer it would take to catch up to them.

How could they not eat at a time like this?

"Come on... eat a little. That’s how you’ll have the strength to find Shanshan and the others."

After hearing Mu Yingchen’s words, Su Wanxia could only nod silently in agreement.

Mu Yingchen smiled at her, then opened the car door and stepped out. Although the weather in April was no longer cold, there was still a cool breeze at night.

When he got out of the car, Su Ran also came down from the vehicle and stood by the side, looking at their current geographical location.

From the three-way junction, the road they took was uphill, with endless forests on both sides, clearly deep in the mountains.

He walked over to Mu Yingchen, "We should be close to the mountaintop..."

Mu Yingchen looked up at their surroundings and nodded, "It seems so, we’ve covered two-thirds of the way."

"They should be almost there..."

"Maybe they already are..."

Both of them couldn’t help but feel worried in their hearts. On the road, those people had no time to pay attention to Shanshan and Jian Manhui.

But once they reached the destination, what might happen was something they didn’t dare to imagine...

The rain soaked their hair, but they seemed oblivious to it, looking up at the pitch-black mountaintop.

Su Ran suddenly turned to Mu Yingchen, "Why don’t you beat me up to let off some steam..."

After hearing his words, Mu Yingchen hooked his lips somewhat helplessly.

"Would beating you up help?"

Su Ran, looking dejected, raised his hand to rub his own hair, "It was my negligence... all my fault..."

He thought that in C City, no one would dare to harm Shanshan, but unexpectedly, danger still found her and that woman.

Had he had someone follow them all the time, those people wouldn’t have had the opportunity!

The more he thought about it, the more Su Ran wished he could beat himself up. Once they rescued them, they could treat him however they wanted, and he wouldn’t have a word of complaint.

"It was those people who had planned it all along, it’s not your fault..." After saying this, Mu Yingchen involuntarily narrowed his eyes, wondering who was behind the cause of this incident...

Only by finding them could they thoroughly understand the ins and outs of the matter.

"I gave them the opportunity..." Su Ran sighed deeply; it was ridiculous to think that he had lost them right from under his watch!

He really should do some self-reflection...

"What’s the use of talking about that now, let’s boost our strength first," Mu Yingchen said as he opened the trunk and threw a large bag of items toward Su Ran.

Su Ran caught it with his hands, "Luckily we brought some dry food, otherwise in this godforsaken place, it would be difficult to find anything to eat."

Mu Yingchen took out two more items, "I saw a little supermarket by the roadside and just bought some on a whim..."

He had bought these things from the small supermarket by the road when they were approaching a remote area. At that time, he had thought that they had all been chasing for a day and a night without even drinking water, so he quickly got out of the car and bought a lot.

Fortunately, it came in handy now. Otherwise, by the time they found Shanshan and the others, they would be totally exhausted. How would they even be capable of rescuing anyone?

Su Ran weighed the items in his hands and looked at Mu Yingchen, murmuring, "Actually, you’re not that bad sometimes..."

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but shake his head with a helpless smile. He had always thought he was quite good...

Just as the two were thinking about getting back into the car, the sky suddenly roared with a loud thunderclap, and then the rain fell heavily, pouring down like from a bucket.

"Once this rain lets up, we’ll set out immediately," Su Ran shouted to Mu Yingchen over the noise.

"Okay!"

By the time they got back in the car, Mu Yingchen’s clothes and hair were thoroughly soaked, with raindrops continuously dripping from his not-so-long hair.

Su Wanxia opened the car’s storage box, taking out a towel.

"Come here..."

Mu Yingchen, understanding her intention, moved his body closer to her and slightly lowered his head.

Su Wanxia took the towel with her hand and began to gently wipe him dry.

After wiping him off to mostly dry, she finally retracted her hand.

"There, that should do it..."

Mu Yingchen looked up at her, his heart aching at the lackluster sight of her.

He took her hand, looking at her with a steadfast gaze, "Wanwan... trust me, Shanshan and the others will definitely be alright."

Su Wanxia fought back the urge to break down in tears, slightly hooked her lips into a smile that was more pitiful than crying, and faced Mu Yingchen.

"Alright, eat something. Once the rain lets up, we’ll keep moving forward," Mu Yingchen said as he patted her head and placed the bread in her hand.

"Okay."

The rain continued heavily for most of the night, relentless and showing no sign of easing.

It’s true that the south has abundant rain...

In the meantime, Mu Yingchen and the others left the car to search for large stones in the heavy rain, placing them behind the wheels to prevent slipping.

Not until after four in the morning did the rain start to let up, drizzling incessantly.

Mu Yingchen and the others got out again to remove the stones from behind the wheels before setting out anew.

The rain had been too much, and the rough concrete road was very slippery, clearly slowing their speed. But given the circumstances, advancing even a little was better than waiting for the rain to stop.

After two more hours of continuous travel, the road slowly began to widen.

It must be said that this mountain is really high, or rather, the mountains here are all very high.

If not for their serious expressions, they would have almost looked like they were on a leisurely trip.

Seeing the increasingly wide road, Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but speak in a low voice, "We’ve finally made it..."
