Chapter 1529 - 1522: Epilogue (13)
The plainclothes officers who sprinted here have finally caught up! Two of them lunged forward, one on each side, first grabbing Qin Zhiyou’s legs! Just like a tug of war, they secured the rope and then gradually pulled back!
The efforts of these two men finally halted Qin Zhiyou’s descent just before he was about to fall.
But this wasn’t enough!
Lu Weixi had no strength left, and if they didn’t pull her up quickly, they could only save Qin Zhiyou alone, which is not what they wanted to see!
Fortunately, since the police knew that they would need to climb the mountain, they naturally sent over a team of mountaineers. They brought plenty of equipment with them. Apart from the few who stabilized Qin Zhiyou, another group quickly prepared rappelling ropes and safety harnesses, attaching them to their waists. With other team members pulling from above, the lead climber faced the cliff and swung down step by step using rock-climbing techniques. Soon, he reached behind Lu Weixi. Considering her pregnancy, he didn’t tie the safety rope around her waist but instead passed it under her armpits and secured her from the back.
Just after securing the rope, Lu Weixi’s strength failed her, and she let go of Qin Zhiyou’s hand.
Thankfully, the rope was tied just in time, and the climber protected her promptly. Although Lu Weixi swayed unsteadily for a moment, she was eventually pulled up little by little with concerted effort from the team above.
Even after being brought up the mountain, Lu Weixi had already fainted from hunger, dehydration, and exhaustion. Someone passed her a blanket and hurriedly offered her water: "Quick, give her some water to drink."
Qin Zhiyou went to support her; Lu Weixi’s hair was thin and disheveled, and most of her clothes were torn. She had a wound on her forehead, sticky with blood. She had already passed out, unconscious. In this life-and-death moment, he couldn’t care less about the details; he pinched her chin and forcefully poured a few sips of water into her mouth. But he faintly felt that something was still not right—for instance, the arm he had used to support her from behind was even damper than the one he used to give her water.
On closer inspection, his hand was covered with blood.
