After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Screams echoed in the mountains. The colleagues who witnessed Xiao Yi and Li Jiawei falling off the cliff stood still for a moment, at a loss as to what to do.

Chang Gang led the way in front, while Director Gu ensured safety at the end of the team. The two rushed over quickly upon hearing the noise. Everyone looked terrified, their eyes all turned to the cliff outside the railing. Chang Gang and Director Gu suddenly felt ominous.

Chang Gang found Ye Zixuan clinging to the mountain wall and trembling all over. He quickly pulled him to his side and asked, "Zixuan, what happened?"

Ye Zixuan recovered from the shock of Chang Gang's roar, pointed at the cliff and said in a trembling voice, "Team Leader Chang, that's where Xiao Yi and Sister Jiawei fell from."

Chang Gang was shocked and asked in disbelief, "Who fell down? Tell me again, who was it?"

Ye Zixuan choked up and said, "It's Xiao Yi and Sister Jiawei."

Chang Gang's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees on the stone steps. Fortunately, Ye Zixuan and his colleagues from the TV station supported him in time.

Director Gu was also upset. He looked at Xiao Yi's manager, who was almost collapsed. Although he saw his lips moving, he couldn't hear what he was saying because of the tinnitus. The voice of "Xiao Yi fell off a cliff, life or death unknown" repeatedly appeared in his mind, causing Director Gu to sweat profusely in the severe cold of more than 20 degrees below zero, and cold sweat oozed out of every pore.

Director Gu staggered to the railing and called out hoarsely, "Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi..." However, among the foggy cliffs, only his voice echoed in the emptiness.

He shouted countless times until his voice became hoarse and there was no response. Director Gu then sat down on the stone steps, leaning against the railing. At this moment, his heart was filled with despair. Everything was over, and everything was irreversible.

Chang Gang tried hard to calm his inner panic. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket to check, but found no signal. He angrily threw the phone against the cliff.

Chang Gang looked up at the flying snowflakes, felt the biting cold wind, and shouted hoarsely, "Everyone, hurry up the mountain. There is no signal here. There may be satellite phones available on the mountain. We need to call for help from the mountainside as soon as possible."

Director Gu looked at Chang Gang, his voice trembling, "We can't leave. Xiao Yi is still down there. We have to rescue him."

Chang Gang looked at Director Gu who had lost his mind and said firmly, "Director Gu, the fog and snow are too heavy. We must go up the mountain immediately, otherwise we may all be in danger."

He pulled Ye Zixuan's hand, and then called Zhou Dan, "Zhou Dan, Zixuan, you guys take charge of the front, I'll lead the way." Then, he arranged for two people from the TV station to help the weak Director Gu walk forward.

Zhou Dan was in tears and was very scared, worried about the safety of Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi, but she also understood that time was running out. In such weather, they were unable to rescue them on their own and could only go up the mountain as soon as possible to seek help from the rescue team.

Chang Gang organized the team and they slowly climbed up the mountain. He felt a chill in his heart for the fallen Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi.

During the days he spent with Li Jiawei, Chang Gang had basically understood her background - the niece of the governor and the daughter of Li Ronghua, the chairman of the city's largest enterprise, Li Group. Xiao Yi, on the other hand, was a popular star in China with hundreds of millions of fans around the world. But at this moment, the identities and halos of the two were sharp blades stabbing at him. If something happened to these two people, his confused mind could only think of being held accountable.

If anything happened to either of these two people, he would be held responsible; but now that both of them have been in trouble at the same time, the consequences are probably far from being resolved by resignation.

When Chang Gang thought of this, his hands involuntarily pounded the mountain wall again and again. He seemed to feel no pain, and he did not stop even though his fists were covered in blood.

Li Jiawei only felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and then she and Xiao Yi climbed over the railing together. In her sight, Xiao Yi's figure fell with her, and there was fear in the eyes of both of them.

She tightly grasped Xiao Yi's hand, the mountain wind whistling past her ears. Her body seemed to be torn mercilessly by the mountain wind and branches, the pain almost suffocated her.

Then, there was an endless collision. She instinctively hugged Xiao Yi, and their bodies kept rolling down under the obstruction of gravity, rocks and branches.

In Li Jiawei's last consciousness, all that was left were the falling snowflakes and red feathers, and Xiao Yi's painful groans in her ears.

After several hours of arduous climbing, Chang Gang and his companions finally reached the top of the mountain at around seven in the evening. They entered the scenic area management office. Everyone sat on the ground exhausted, but no one dared to speak. It was quiet, and a heavy sense of depression filled the air.

Director Gu staggered to Chang Gang's side and said anxiously, "Team Leader Chang, call the city and ask them to send rescue personnel immediately."

Chang Gang looked at Director Gu who was also in a state of distress, gasping for breath, and licked his cracked lips. "Okay, let's go together."

Director Gu knew that this matter was very serious. Once they were investigated, none of them could escape responsibility. So he nodded resolutely and said, "Okay, let's go together."

The two walked to the office of the scenic area management office, where there were only three young employees in their twenties. Two of them went out to prepare hot water for everyone, leaving only one behind.

When he saw Chang Gang and Director Gu coming in, he quickly turned off the single-player card game he was playing on his computer desktop, stood up and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you two leaders?"

Chang Gang asked directly, "Do you have a satellite phone? We need to make a call to the city."

"Yes." The young man immediately took out a satellite phone from the drawer and handed it to Chang Gang.

After taking the satellite phone, Chang Gang took a deep breath and dialed the landline in Zhao Jianwei's office.

At this time, Zhao Jianwei was packing up his things and preparing to leave work when the landline on the table suddenly rang. He put down his down jacket, walked to the table and answered the phone. "Hello, I'm Zhao Jianwei. Who is this?"

Chang Gang heard Zhao Jianwei's voice, paused for a moment and said, "Old Zhao, it's me, Chang Gang."

When Zhao Jianwei heard that it was Chang Gang, he smiled and sat back in his office chair: "Old Chang, have you reached the top of the mountain?"

"Well, I just arrived, but something happened." Chang Gang answered with a heavy tone.

Zhao Jianwei heard that Chang Gang's tone was wrong, and immediately sat up and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Chang Gang licked his lips, sighed and said, "We encountered extreme weather while climbing the mountain. Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi... fell off the cliff."

Zhao Jianwei suddenly stood up from his chair when he heard this. "Old Chang, what did you say? This is not a joke!"

Chang Gang smiled bitterly, his voice trembling: "I also hope this is just a joke."

Zhao Jianwei held the phone in one hand and reached into his pocket with the other hand to take out a pack of cigarettes. He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath and asked, "When did they fall?"

"Four and a half hours ago." Chang Gang replied.

Zhao Jianwei suddenly yelled, "Why didn't you call for help?"

Chang Gang suppressed his fear and answered, "It was snowing and windy at the time, and there was no signal on my phone, so I couldn't make a call for help."

Zhao Jianwei countered, "But the sun was shining all day in the city today, and there was no snow at all."

After hearing what Zhao Jianwei said, Chang Gang closed his eyes and opened them again. His eyes were red. He asked anxiously, "It's no use saying this. What should we do now?"

Zhao Jianwei was silent for a moment and said, "You must take good care of the remaining people and ensure their safety. I will report the situation to Secretary Xu immediately."
