Lu Qiuyue picked up the umbrella and was about to go out to look for someone when Xu Tao and Xie Chongwen came back together.

When Xie Chongwen walked under the eaves, she couldn't wait to hug him.

Xie Chongwen was stunned for a moment, then patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Don't worry, I'm back, right?"

"I was really scared just now. I thought..."

She hugged him tightly again, buried her head in his arms and said nothing.

Sensing her concern for him, the smile in Xie Chongwen's eyes grew wider.

He lowered his head and was about to kiss the person in his arms when Lu Qiuyue suddenly pushed him away.

She glanced behind Xie Chongwen, then looked at him in confusion.

"Why are you two the only ones back? Why isn't Zhou Ruixuan back?"

Xie Chongwen frowned, "He's not with us."

Hearing this, Lu Qiuyue’s face suddenly turned pale.

He also realized something was wrong and asked, "Zhou Ruixuan went out?"

She nodded: "Well, Zhou Ruixuan went to find you, I thought..."

Xu Tao, who had just sneaked upstairs, ran down in a panic, "It's bad, Mr. Xie, the village chief called and said there was a landslide over there."

Lu Qiuyue became more and more panicked.

She tightly grasped Xie Chongwen's arm, "What should we do now? Will Zhou Ruixuan be okay?"

A deep meaning flashed across Xie Chongwen's eyes.

"It'll be fine."

After that, he looked at Xu Tao again: "Contact the village chief immediately to determine Zhou Ruixuan's location."

Xu Tao immediately called the village chief, but the reply he got was that Zhou Ruixuan did not go to find them, and the bridge had been submerged by the river and was impassable.

After hearing what the village chief said, Lu Qiuyue's face turned even paler.

Her body was shaking uncontrollably.

With red eyes, he asked, "Was Zhou Ruixuan washed away by the flood?"

He tapped Lu Qiuyue's forehead, feeling a little amused.

"What are you thinking about? Nothing will happen to him."

Nothing can happen.

It took a lot of effort to completely remove Zhou Ruixuan from Lu Qiuyue's heart, and he would never allow him to have any place again.

"Get me a raincoat, I'll go find someone." Xie Chongwen said.

Hearing this, Xu Tao subconsciously refused: "Mr. Xie, it's raining so hard outside now, it's really not safe for you to go out at this time."

"You have to go. Although I can't stand Zhou Ruixuan's selfishness and arrogance, he is a life after all. We can't just stand by and watch him die." Xie Chongwen said seriously.

Lu Qiuyue suddenly felt a little guilty.

Xie Chongwen pinched her face and smiled dotingly: "I did this voluntarily. It has nothing to do with you."

He looked at Xu Tao again.

Xu Tao sighed and reluctantly gave him the raincoat and flashlight.

After thinking for a while, he handed the satellite phone to him.

"Mr. Xie, let's use this."

"it is good."

He hugged Lu Qiyue again and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

After hugging her for a while, he quickly let her go, put on his raincoat and walked out.

After hesitating for a while, Lu Qiuyue looked at Xu Tao.

Before she spoke, Xu Tao understood what she meant and refused without hesitation: "Absolutely not. If you go today, Mr. Xie will kill me tomorrow."

“……”It’s not that serious.

"It's very serious!" Xu Tao said sternly, "Qiyue, you don't understand your position in Mr. Xie's mind at all."

"But I'm worried. If something really happens to Zhou Ruixuan at this time, the Zhou family and the Xie family will inevitably become enemies because of me. By then, I don't know how many people will be sacrificed in this innocent business war." Lu Qiuyue said with a frown.

Speaking of this, Xu Tao fell into silence for a rare moment.

She was right. If that were true, many people would be in trouble.

"Let's go find it together." Xu Tao said.

If I let Lu Qiuyue go out alone and Xie Chongwen found out, he might kill me directly.

Seeing that he insisted on going together, Lu Qiuyue did not object.

The two of them went out together with flashlights and met the village chief on the way.

Upon learning that they were going to look for Zhou Ruixuan, the village chief looked solemn.

"I just received news that a mudslide broke out in Shangcun. We might..."

Everyone wanted to speak but stopped.

If it really was a mudslide, Zhou Ruixuan might...

Lu Qiyue's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Then we should find the person."

After saying that, Lu Qiuyue looked at Xu Tao and said, "Let's go look for it upstream together."

The two said goodbye to the village chief and went upstream together.

Xu Tao followed Lu Qiuyue, and the two searched for a long time.

Seeing that they were almost at the top of the mountain, Xu Tao said worriedly: "Young Madam, we can't go any further up. If a flash flood breaks out..."

Lu Qiyue pointed to the rope tied next to it and said, "This is the mark left by Zhou Ruixuan."

Hearing this, Xu Tao looked over.

It was just an ordinary piece of rope, how could she tell it was a mark?

Seeing that people seemed unconvinced, Lu Qiyue explained: "This is the mark we agreed on before. If one of us gets lost, we can tie the existing rope in a conspicuous place."

It was obvious that Zhou Ruixuan tore his clothes.

Xu Tao's expression became complicated.

He suddenly understood why Xie Chongwen wanted to eliminate Zhou Ruixuan from Lu Qiuyue's heart.

After ten years, even if they don’t like each other anymore, the bond between them will be deep.

The two of them said nothing more and walked up the mountain together.

When he reached a narrow cave entrance, Lu Qiuyue stopped.

Xu Tao looked at Lu Qiyue in confusion, "What's wrong?"

She kept staring at the entrance of the cave, with a hint of deep thought in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Tao asked tentatively: "Is Mr. Zhou in there?"

She nodded slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "It's possible that Zhou Ruixuan was injured."

"Injured?" Xu Tao showed fear and asked cautiously: "So should we go down or in now?"

She sighed and said, "Brother Xu, shouldn't I go in?"

"Let me in." Xu Tao said.

He must resolutely protect the relationship between Mr. Xie and the young lady!

"Okay." Lu Qiuyue uttered a word in a hoarse voice.

Xu Tao walked in immediately.

Zhou Ruixuan leaned against the wall with a painful look on his face. When he saw someone coming in, he coughed a few times.

Hearing the noise, Xu Tao shone the flashlight over there.

Zhou Ruixuan's white shirt was stained with mud, and there were several scratches on his face. He leaned against the wall with a weak look on his face.

Xu Tao quickened his pace and trotted over to him, "Mr. Zhou, are you okay?"

Zhou Ruixuan coughed a few more times and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you the only one here?"

"Let's go out first." Xu Tao said.

Seeing that he was unwilling to answer his question, Zhou Ruixuan looked towards the cave entrance again, his eyes shining.

"July is outside, isn't he?"

Xu Tao pursed his lips and said nothing.

Zhou Ruixuan smiled, "I knew July must be outside. She was the one who found me. She still remembered our promise."

"Mr. Zhou, the young lady doesn't want to come in. I thought you should understand what she means." Xu Tao said.

Hearing this, Zhou Ruixuan laughed disdainfully.

He struggled to stand up.

He is going to find July now and tell her that he likes her.
