Chapter 1372: An Earthquake Hit Miss’s Location!
He instinctively lowered his head and opened WeChat on his phone, tapping on the pinned pink avatar of the Young Girl.
There were no new messages.
Well, at this hour, She was probably still curled up under the covers, sleeping like a log.
He put his phone away and glanced out the window again. It was pouring in the Imperial City, and he had no idea what things were like on Her side.
He was worried that if the rain kept coming down like this, Her evening flight might end up delayed.
Thinking of that little thing waiting at the airport, clutching Her suitcase and calling Him with that pitiful tone, Yan Yan’s lips couldn’t help but curve slightly.
The man got up from the bed to wash up, planning to go to the study to work so he could free up time to pick Her up when She arrived that night.
Who knew that just as he finished washing up and came out, he heard a knock at the door.
Outside, Housekeeper Chen’s slightly anxious voice sounded: "Sir, sir, are you up?"
Yan Yan walked over and opened the door, frowning as he asked, "What is it?"
It was just past five in the morning, not yet his usual time to get up. Housekeeper Chen had never lost his composure like this.
Housekeeper Chen was already so anxious he was drenched in sweat: "I just got up and saw the news. There was an earthquake last night where Miss was!"
The man’s gaze instantly darkened, the hand resting on the doorframe tightening. It took him a long moment to regain his composure, his voice turning hoarse as he asked:
"Has the rescue team gone over?"
"I don’t know. I didn’t see anyone mention the film crew in the news, they only talked about the earthquake and the residents."
Yan Yan’s face turned as dark as it could get,
only then remembering that filming locations were always kept confidential, to prevent fans from following them, especially with a big production like this, with several major traffic-drawing stars. They were even more afraid of being tailed.
So right now the government over there might not even know they were filming in the mountains.
Without another word, he turned back, grabbed a coat, and headed out, saying as he went, "Help me contact the local government!"
Housekeeper Chen hurried off to find his phone.
Wang Ma had nearly fainted when she saw the news downstairs just now, and at this moment she broke down crying:
"From the news it looks like the earthquake was really serious. Miss is still in the mountains, what are we going to do!"
Housekeeper Chen hurried to comfort her: "It’s okay, it’s okay. Miss Yun is so sweet; they say heaven protects the blessed. And she’s with so many people from the crew, they’ll definitely be fine."
Yan Yan left the Yan Family in less than five minutes. While on the plane, he kept trying to call Yun Qiluo, but every time all he got was the cold message, "The number you have dialed is not in service," making his expression grow darker and darker until he simply smashed the phone.
He spoke coldly toward the pilot: "Go faster."
All he could do was hope that little thing had enough skill to look after Herself.
That nothing would just happen to Her like this.
.
In the mountains, one night had already passed. The rain was still coming down, with no sign of stopping.
The sky was a dull gray, heavy with dark clouds. Thunder rumbled now and then, adding to the suffocating feeling, like there was no end in sight.
Many people in the crew were hugging their arms, shivering from the cold on the ground, while those who were on better terms huddled together for warmth.
The one thing to be thankful for was that it was still summer. If they had shot this drama in winter, a lot of people might already have collapsed by now.
As the sky grew light, everyone struggled through the night with great difficulty, and their mental states finally broke:
"Director, when is our rescue coming?"
"It’s been a whole night. Why hasn’t anyone come yet? If this goes on, we’re going to freeze to death."
"And I’m so hungry, I really want something to eat."
"Is there even a rescue coming? Could it be the rescue team doesn’t even know anyone’s here?"
