Chapter 179: Chapter 179: I Enter the Mountain to Save People

"The clothes are changed, can you take a look at her now?"

"According to you, I’ve taken care of the wounds on her body. She shouldn’t have any issues now!"

Yet in Bo Yunshen’s last sentence, there was a lack of conviction. Old Zhang gave him a strange look and said, "What’s the hurry, there’s a thermometer in that iron box, go and take your wife’s temperature."

Using the intimate term ’wife’ for Qin Yan made Bo Yunshen feel slightly uncomfortable, but he licked his lips and asked discontentedly,

"Why take her temperature? She’s still bleeding, shouldn’t stopping the blood be the priority?"

Old Zhang glanced over at Qin Yan, who didn’t look as disheveled as when Bo Yunshen had carried her in after changing.

Bo Yunshen mentioned she was still bleeding, presumably noticed while changing her clothes.

"Just take her temperature when I tell you to, will you quit the fuss?!"

"If you’re so capable, you treat her!"

If he was capable of treating her, would he still endure Old Zhang’s attitude?!

Left with no choice by Old Zhang’s retort, Bo Yunshen did as he was told and took out a thermometer to measure Qin Yan’s temperature.

Qin Yan looked terribly pale, her originally fair face now almost translucent. As he drew closer to her, Bo Yunshen could feel the deathly aura emanating from her.

His hand trembled as he held the thermometer.

This barely discernible movement caught Old Zhang’s eyes.

"Why, are you worried about her?"

Bo Yunshen quietly placed the thermometer under Qin Yan’s armpit, his fingertips touching her skin which still retained a trace of warmth, at least not the cold of a corpse.

"To me, it looks like you’ve fallen for that girl!"

Old Zhang scoffed at Bo Yunshen, scanning him up and down, "But a man who can’t protect his woman isn’t very appealing!"

Bo Yunshen’s expression changed, "Me, fall for her? What are you joking about?"

"What kind of woman can’t I have? She has nothing desirable and harbors deep thoughts; my eyesight isn’t failing!"

He had married Qin Yan out of desperation!

Old Zhang sneered.

He had seen too many men denying their true feelings!

With the end of this topic, the atmosphere in the rescue station quieted down. Five minutes later, Bo Yunshen took out the thermometer and handed it to Old Zhang, who glanced at it casually without a word.

The furrows between Bo Yunshen’s brows deepened. Qin Yan had been injured a few times in his presence, but this was the first time it was this serious, and she hadn’t reacted at all.

He couldn’t help feeling anxious, his gaze locked on Old Zhang, hesitating but eventually asking, "Could she die?"

Mentioning death, Bo Yunshen’s heart painfully contracted.

"You have no feelings for her, whether she lives or dies, what is it to you? Why are you so anxious?"

Stunned by Old Zhang’s words, Bo Yunshen felt a prick of discomfort.

He even bizarrely wondered if he really was worried about Qin Yan?

Worried about her, even afraid Qin Yan might die?

In a daze, Bo Yunshen recalled the scornful words he had spoken to Qin Yan on the mountain.

Bo Yunshen panicked and silently told himself, he wasn’t worried about whether Qin Yan would die; he was just worried that if she did, Qin Yan’s purpose would be fulfilled!

When the time comes, he would really have to take care of Qin Yan’s children!

He always kept his promises, if something happened to Qin Yan, wouldn’t he have to worry on her behalf for a lifetime?

At the foot of the back mountain.

Fang Weiwei and her two sisters-in-law had also rushed over.

Standing between the vast sky and earth, the mountain shook and the surrounding tremors grew stronger, most people were even struggling to keep their footing.

The police guarding the entrance to the mountain were also anxiously furrowing their brows, "With such strong tremors, there could be a danger of a secondary collapse."

Bo Yuanshan, upon hearing this, glanced toward the mountain’s direction. Through the misty rain, the highest peak appeared to be teetering.

Accustomed to the corporate world for many years, he too could not help but feel unnerved.

"A car is coming, stop it. No one can go into the mountain under these circumstances, it could cost lives!"

The Bo Family looked toward the direction of the incoming vehicle and before the police could intercept, the car stopped on its own. The person in the passenger seat was someone familiar to everyone present.

It was Lu Yi.

"Yiyi, why are you here?"

When he got out of the car, he didn’t use an umbrella, and the camouflage shirt he wore instantly clung to his sturdy body, transforming the normally gentle man into one poised for action.

Taking two steps forward, Lu Yi responded to Mrs. Bo, "Auntie, today is the anniversary of my third cousin’s passing. I received news about the mountain collapse and couldn’t rest easy until I came to check."

He furrowed his brows and scanned the crowd. Not seeing any familiar faces, his eyebrows twitched, and he lowered his voice to ask, "Where are Yunshen and Qin Yan?"

Mrs. Bo’s body trembled.

An umbrella was held over her head by Shen Ruyun amidst the heavy wind and rain, fluttering in the air like a drifting duckweed.

"They are still on the mountain."

Mrs. Bo managed to utter these few words with a tone laden with fear.

The look in Lu Yi’s eyes changed. Hearing this, he turned back to his car, gathered the equipment he had prepared beforehand, slung the bag over his shoulder, and walked toward the mountain entrance.

Mrs. Bo was almost frightened to faint by Lu Yi’s actions; the moment he moved, she blocked his path, "Yiyi, what are you trying to do?"

"I’m going to find Yunshen and the others on the mountain."

"Comrade, the mountain is currently too dangerous. We’ve received orders to seal the mountain and cannot allow anyone to enter. Please do not act rashly and wait here for the rescue team’s updates."

The police voiced their disagreement.

Lu Yi didn’t stop his motions, and Mrs. Bo finally panicked, "Yiyi, you can’t go in. It’s too dangerous inside. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to your parents?"

"The back mountain is likely to collapse a second time. Just stay here obediently and don’t go anywhere!"

Mrs. Bo wanted to save Yunshen but not at the expense of others.

She also knew that, up to now, Bo Yunshen and Qin Yan hadn’t come down the mountain, which meant they were surely trapped.

She was more anxious than anyone else, but at this moment, she was more rational than anyone else!

Bo Yunshen was the sole heir of the Bo Family, and her heart was frantic; similarly, Lu Yi was also the most cherished by the Lu Family. With Bo Yunshen’s situation unknown, she couldn’t let Lu Yi risk his life as well!

"Auntie, I’ve made thorough preparations and have extensive mountaineering experience. Before coming here, I also studied the situation of this mountain, and I’ll avoid places where the mountain might collapse."

"That still won’t work!"

Bo Yuanshan sternly interrupted Lu Yi, "The situation on the mountain is unpredictable. No matter how well you plan, can you withstand a natural disaster?"

"Mom and Dad, don’t hold back my cousin. Him going up the mountain now, one more person, means one more source of strength!"
