"It hurts." The voice of the little girl beside her brought Mu Ningxi back to her senses.

Mu Ningxi lowered her head, looked at the little girl, and asked in a low voice: "Where does it hurt?"

"Here." The little girl pointed to her right arm with her left hand.

Following the direction of the little girl's finger, Mu Ningxi wanted to observe carefully, but found that it was too dark and he could not see anything clearly.

After thinking about it, Mu Ningxi took out the mobile phone from his backpack and turned on the light on the phone, trying to see clearly where the little girl was injured, but was surprised to find that the phone suddenly had a signal.

Does the restoration of mobile phone signals mean that earthquakes will not come again?

Mu Ningxi thought about it while checking the little girl's wound.

"It's just a little skin scrape, it's no big deal. Once we find someone and bandage it, there will be no problem." After checking, Mu Ningxi said to the little girl with a smile.

Hearing Mu Ningxi say this, the little girl nodded sensibly and responded, "Don't worry, sister. I won't scream in pain anymore."

"So good." After praising the little girl, Mu Ningxi called Xiao Zhang.

Who knew that the signal displayed on the phone was a fake and the other party’s call could not be reached at all.

Mu Ningxi sighed in annoyance and continued walking towards the mountain road with the little girl.

When the earthquake occurred, Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhang thought quickly and rushed to a low-lying area beside the mountain road, perfectly avoiding the huge shock caused by the earthquake.

After the earthquake stopped, the two got up from the ground and found that Mu Ningxi had disappeared.

The two immediately began to look for Mu Ningxi.

"Do you think Director Mu is buried underground?" After searching in vain, Xiao Zhang asked Xiao Liu beside him.

Hearing Xiao Zhang's question, Xiao Liu recalled the scene when the earthquake occurred and nodded in agreement:

"It is indeed possible. You and I were running towards a low-lying area at the time, but Director Mu didn't seem to be with us. It is possible that she was trapped there."

After listening to Xiao Liu's words, Xiao Zhang turned around and walked towards the place where he got off the bus.

As they walked, Xiao Zhang said, "We must return as soon as possible. We must not let anything happen to Director Mu."

"That's right. Every minute of delay means Director Mu will be in danger for one more minute." Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xiao Liu quickly followed Xiao Zhang's footsteps.

"Xiao Zhang, does your cell phone have signal? Why is there no signal on my cell phone?" Xiao Liu took out the cell phone from his trouser bag while walking. When he saw that there was no signal, Xiao Liu began to ask Xiao Zhang.

Hearing Xiao Liu say this, Xiao Zhang also took out his mobile phone and looked at it carefully for a few seconds. He replied helplessly: "My mobile phone has no signal either."

"It must be affected by the earthquake." Xiao Zhang's words made Xiao Liu very discouraged.

"Director Mu, where are you?" Seeing that they couldn't contact Mu Ningxi by phone, the two of them simply shouted at the top of their lungs.

The two people's voices echoed in the valley.

But since they were currently halfway up the mountain, a bit far away from where Mu Ningxi was, the other party couldn't hear their shouting at all.

"At 8:40, a 5.4-magnitude earthquake occurred in Yong'an. The rescue team has arrived at the epicenter and started active rescue work."

Huo Beichen just came out of the office and got into the car when he heard it on the radio.

Hearing the name Yong'an, Huo Beichen's heart became inexplicably nervous, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Huo Beichen quickly dialed Mu Ningxi's cell phone, but heard a mechanical female voice coming from the phone: "Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later."

Huo Beichen felt an even stronger sense of foreboding.

Holding the phone and thinking for a while, Huo Beichen took out Chen Honggang's number and dialed it.

"Mr. Huo, we will sign a contract with the other company early tomorrow morning. You can rest assured about things here." As soon as the call was connected, Chen Honggang's slightly excited voice was heard.

Chen Honggang, who was carefully checking the contract to be signed tomorrow, saw the call from Huo Beichen and mistakenly thought that the other party was reminding him about signing the contract tomorrow.

"Is Director Mu with you now?" With no time to think about the contract, Huo Beichen asked what he wanted to know.

"Director Mu, Director Mu went to Yong'an in the afternoon." When Chen Honggang heard Huo Beichen asking about Mu Ningxi, he immediately replied.

"What, she ran to Yong'an?" Chen Honggang's words made Huo Beichen's heart, which had been hanging in the air before, even more sad. It seemed that his previous premonition was correct, and Mu Ningxi might have been in trouble.

Hearing Huo Beichen's blaming tone, Chen Honggang hurriedly defended himself, "I advised Director Mu before, saying that the rain was heavy and asked her to go there tomorrow, but she didn't listen. She also said that Mr. Bai might leave Yong'an tomorrow, and that it would be even more difficult to find him."

"Besides, I also asked to go with Director Mu, but she wouldn't let me. She said she would only be there in the afternoon and might not be able to come back in the evening. In order not to affect the signing, she asked me to stay."

Wife, it’s all my fault.

Listening to Chen Honggang's story, Huo Beichen felt deeply remorseful.

If he hadn't asked Mu Ningxi and the others to go find Mr. Bai, how could Mu Ningxi have encountered an earthquake and how could something have happened to her.

After calming down, Huo Beichen asked, "Who else went with her?"

"There is Xiao Zhang from our team, and Xiao Liu from the Shancheng branch." Chen Honggang answered truthfully.

"Contact these two people immediately." After hearing Chen Honggang's words, Huo Beichen quickly gave orders.

Hearing Huo Beichen's anxious voice, Chen Honggang asked without knowing what was going on: "Boss Huo, is there something wrong?"

"There was an earthquake in Yong'an. It's such a big thing, don't you know about it?" Chen Honggang's words hit the nail on the head. Huo Beichen couldn't find a place to vent his anger, so he immediately took it out on the other party.

After Huo Beichen yelled, he quickly hung up the phone.

Holding the hung up phone, Chen Honggang was completely dumbfounded.

He had been busy with the contract needed for tomorrow and had no time to pay attention to what was happening outside. If something happened to Yongan, Director Mu and the others would definitely be in danger.

But I had advised Director Mu not to go before, but she didn't listen to me. What does this have to do with me? Why should Director Huo blame me?

Recalling Huo Beichen's roar on the phone, Chen Honggang thought aggrievedly.

Although he was thinking about it, Chen Honggang knew that the matter was urgent, so he quickly called Xiao Zhang's cell phone.

When the call didn't go through the first time, Chen Honggang called again. Finally, on the twentieth time, Xiao Zhang's phone was connected.

"Manager Chen, there was an earthquake here. Director Mu got separated from us. Xiao Liu and I are looking for her everywhere." From the other party's intermittent narration, Chen Honggang finally understood that Mu Ningxi was not with Xiao Zhang and the others at the moment.

"You guys continue to look for Director Mu. I'll ask President Huo to see what arrangements he will make." After giving Xiao Zhang a few instructions, Chen Honggang quickly hung up the phone.

As the signal was not very good, Xiao Zhang did not tell Chen Honggang that due to the earthquake, a section of the road up the mountain was blocked by rocks. At this time, he and Xiao Liu had no way to continue moving up the mountain, and were destined to not be able to find Mu Ningxi.

"Mr. Huo, I have contacted Xiao Zhang, but Director Mu is not with them. They are now looking for Director Mu everywhere." Chen Honggang called Huo Beichen and informed him of the latest news.

Hearing what Chen Honggang said, Huo Beichen ordered in a calm voice: "Tell them not to give up the search, and to find Director Mu no matter what."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Beichen looked out the car window with a gloomy face.
