Chapter 380: It’s So Good to See You
Under someone else’s roof, how dare you not bow your head.
Shuixian was almost furious, her life was in Ye Ningwan’s hands, and she had no choice but to obey Ye Ningwan’s orders.
There was no choice but to tell Ye Ningwan the formula as she asked.
Afraid she wouldn’t believe it, she also told her that she had a ledger in the data room.
"You get me out first, and I’ll tell you where the data room is. By then, you can find it and see for yourself."
"Sister, I see you’re full of energy, you won’t die anytime soon. Just wait until I find the ledger in the data room, verify its authenticity, and then get you out." said Ye Ningwan.
Shuixian screamed hysterically, "Ye Ningwan, how can you break your promise?"
"When did I break my promise? I just want to be sure of its authenticity, is that wrong?" Ye Ningwan snorted with laughter.
Shuixian yelled, "But, you don’t even know where the materials room is, you don’t intend to save me at all. Ye Ningwan, you’re too cruel. After all, I’m your senior sister, how can you watch me die without helping. When I die, I’ll tell Master that you’re a heartless, ungrateful traitor."
"Speak to Master first, and don’t worry about the materials room location, someone will naturally take me there. Sister, I’ll have someone send you some water, you just wait patiently. Of course, if you don’t want to drink and insist on seeing Master, I won’t stop you. After all, you’ve been an unfilial disciple for quite some time, now you want to show filial piety, how could I as your junior sister stop you."
After she finished speaking, Ye Ningwan stood up smiling, asking Xunyou to send down some water.
She then went to find Bai Qishu and inquire about the location of the materials room.
Fortunately, the construction of the materials room was somewhat sturdy.
It only collapsed slightly, not too severely.
Bai Qishu had someone clear the debris and quickly found the ledger Ye Ningwan mentioned.
"How did you know it was this one?" Bai Qishu asked curiously.
Ye Ningwan snorted, "It’s my master’s unique way of bookkeeping, although Shuixian betrayed the sect years ago, she still maintained her old habits. This habit is good, otherwise, among so many ledgers, it would really be hard for me to find."
She opened the ledger and saw it recorded a lot. There were names, various body indicators, and finally detailed measurements of the formulas.
Unexpectedly, many people had been fed with this drug.
Ye Ningwan found Zhan Hanjue’s name in it, saw his dosage formula, and immediately felt assured.
"Is there a medicine storage room here?" Ye Ningwan asked again.
Bai Qishu said, "There is, but it’s buried very deep, unlikely to be dug out by human effort anytime soon."
"Forget it, let’s wait until the rescue team arrives." Ye Ningwan said.
She put away the ledger.
Then returned to the place where Shuixian was buried and had people start digging her out.
Shuixian learned that she was about to be rescued, was both happy and excited.
However, after a while, she began to curse Ye Ningwan again, unwilling to believe she would be saved soon.
Ye Ningwan heard her curses and frowned fiercely, "Keep cursing, and I won’t save you."
"Ye Ningwan, you promised to save me." Shuixian shouted excitedly.
Ye Ningwan snorted coldly, "Who told you to have such a sharp tongue, one more curse, and I’ll have them stop digging."
Shuixian finally shut her mouth.
Finally, they dug Shuixian out.
Fortunately, she was small enough to hide under the table, which saved her life, only getting lightly injured.
Although Li Qingqing’s house wasn’t much, the table was solid redwood furniture, otherwise, Shuixian’s life might have been lost too.
"How could this happen?"
After coming out, Shuixian saw the flattened villa and was dumbfounded.
"It’s a miracle you survived." Ye Ningwan teased her.
Instantly, Shuixian said nothing, laying down in exhaustion, "Is there anything to eat, give me something, preferably something sweet, I need something sweet to lift my spirits."
"No, the little food we have has to go to the injured. If no one comes to rescue us in two days, we’re all done for." Ye Ningwan said.
Shuixian yelled, "But I’m injured too!"
"A scratch doesn’t count as an injury." Ye Ningwan rolled her eyes.
Just when the people were about to lift Shuixian and move her to a makeshift shelter.
Suddenly, the ground started shaking again.
"Stay away from buildings, get to an open field. Lie down immediately, don’t run around."
Ye Ningwan shouted.
Shuixian, just dug out, was scared and trembling.
Everyone laid on the ground, each second felt like a year.
Finally, after a moment, the shaking stopped.
"Luckily, it’s just an aftershock." Ye Ningwan said.
The place where Shuixian was dug out had collapsed again.
If they hadn’t dug her out in time, she would have surely been crushed to death.
Shuixian looked at the spot, her face pale, realizing the consequences and dared not speak further.
"The food we’ve just dug out is buried again." Bai Qishu ran over, looking grim.
Ye Ningwan sighed, looking at the back mountain.
"It seems we’ll have to hunt in the back mountain."
Bai Qishu: "..."
"I can’t hunt."
"Is that a helicopter?"
Suddenly, Xunyou pointed at a black dot in the sky and asked.
Ye Ningwan and Bai Qishu quickly looked up, and indeed saw several black dots getting closer.
It really was a helicopter.
"Is it here to rescue us?" Ye Ningwan asked excitedly.
Bai Qishu said, "Don’t worry if it is, let’s signal for help first."
He immediately found a red cloth and climbed to a high point to wave it.
Ye Ningwan was speechless, at such a close distance, unless the helicopter people were blind.
Otherwise, how could they not see them here?
It was unknown if Bai Qishu’s waving had an effect, or they already intended to rescue.
Fortunately, the helicopter found an open place to land.
They all ran over excitedly.
Especially Ye Ningwan, running at the front.
Finally, the helicopter personnel slowly descended.
When they saw who it was, Ye Ningwan was stunned and stopped in her tracks.
"Miss Ye, it’s him." Xunyou also stopped, standing by Ye Ningwan to remind her.
Ye Ningwan nodded, she saw it, she wasn’t blind.
Her heart surged with indescribable feelings, a mix of emotions.
Bai Qishu pursed his lips, motioned to the others and said, "Let’s go."
Then turned and left with the others.
The man walked towards her step by step, his eyes deep, pace firm.
Ye Ningwan met his gaze and couldn’t help showing a hint of fear.
She hadn’t forgotten what she said to him when they parted.
She thought he wouldn’t come looking for her, that he’d already returned to Jiangcheng.
Unexpectedly, he came.
"Why do you look at me like that?"
The man reached out his hand and gently touched her face.
Ye Ningwan coughed lightly, wanting to step back. But, instead, the man pulled her close, wrapping his arm around her waist, drawing her nearer.
"Surprised you’d come, I thought you’d be back in Jiangcheng, completely disappointed in me." Ye Ningwan had no choice but to answer truthfully.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, the man hugged her tightly.
"It’s good to see you!"
