Chapter 1464: Chapter 1464: Apologizing with Death
During these days that Jian Dan has gone missing, Qin Rou has been nearly driven insane with worry.
Since she was leading at the front, she did not know what happened behind her, only finding out about Jian Dan and Mu Yi after everyone had left the mountain.
She refused to leave, persistently waiting here for the arrival of the rescue team. Even after the rescue crew arrived, she steadfastly refused to leave, insisting on staying to join the rescue effort no matter how much she was persuaded.
Eventually, having no other choice, they contacted Zhong Tianhao.
When Zhong Tianhao arrived, Qin Rou, who had not shed a single tear since learning about Jian Dan’s disappearance, finally broke down and burst into loud tears in his arms, crying, "Tianhao, Jian, she—Jian, she—"
"Little Rou, it’s okay, I believe Jian Dan will be fine, she must be!" Zhong Tianhao comforted her while gently patting her back.
"Really? Really? Jian really will be okay?"
"I believe she will be fine!"
"Okay! Then you tell them I’m not leaving, I want to stay here with them to look for Jian, I absolutely won’t leave until we find Jian!"
"Okay, okay! We won’t leave!"
Subsequently, Zhong Tianhao and the rescue team coordinated so that Qin Rou only stayed to wait for news and did not participate in the rescue operation, which reluctantly made Qin Rou agree to stay.
The rain hasn’t stopped; even though the rescue team takes the opportunity to conduct the search when the rain lessens, they must immediately stop operations once it starts pouring heavily. Thus, after two days, there has been no progress at all.
"Tianhao, it’s been two days and Jian still hasn’t been found. I’m really scared, so scared! What should I do if something really has happened to Jian? What should I do?" Tears burst forth from Qin Rou again, after days of nearly crying out a lifetime’s worth of tears.
"Little Rou, don’t be like this, no one expected this to happen."
"No! It’s all my fault, all my fault. If I hadn’t asked Jian to come with us, she wouldn’t have gone missing. So, it’s all my fault." Qin Rou began hitting herself as she spoke.
"Little Rou, really, don’t be like this, it’s not your fault!" Zhong Tianhao hugged her tightly, unwilling to see her hurt herself.
"How can it not be my fault? It is my fault. Why did I agree to let her cover the rear? I should have had her lead at the front! Why did I agree to that? Why?" As Qin Rou was held in Tianhao’s arms, when she raised her hands to hit herself, her fists ended up hitting Tianhao.
Zhong Tianhao let Qin Rou hit him, remaining silent.
After a long time, Qin Rou finally stopped, "Little Rou, it really hurts me to see you harming yourself like this, do you know?"
"If my uncle finds out that Jian is missing, he will definitely be heartbroken too.
No, not just heartbroken—extremely, profoundly heartbroken!
Jian mentioned my uncle went on a business trip. If my uncle comes back and we still haven’t found Jian, or if something happened to Jian, I’ll have no choice but to die to apologize!" Qin Rou said looking straight down somberly.
"What are you saying? Little Rou, I beg you, please don’t talk like that?"
"Then what do you want me to do? Jian is still not found, what can I do?"
"I don’t like hearing you talk like this, I believe Jian won’t come to harm!" A voice sounded from outside the tent...
