173. Search and rescue
Lu Qihao turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, his arm was tightly grasped by a force behind him, and when he looked back, it was Qian Qian who had a firm gaze.
"Chairman, I'll go find it with you!"
Hearing this, Lu Qihao looked out at the transparent glass in the corridor. It was already very late, with the high moon hanging in the sky, and in the silent night, there was a strange cry of birds everywhere.
"But, it's too late now..."
"Chairman, let me go with you. You have no help alone. With me, there is always one more person to take care of you."
Looking at Qianqian's firm eyes and decisive appearance, Lu Qihao knew that no matter how much he persisted, it would be useless. Even if he didn't take her there, she would probably follow her secretly. Instead of doing this, he might as well take her there directly.
"That's fine, but you must remember to pay attention to your own personal safety."
Hearing this, Qianqian couldn't help but nodded, followed behind Lu Qihao, and walked towards the main entrance of the hotel.
Bumping on the mountain road along the way, the sparse lights could not fully illuminate every corner of the mountains, so they could only rely on the memory of the day, and under the guidance of Sissy, the two of them groped all the way on the mountain to the place where they lived during the day. The base camp where camps are set up in the mountains and ready to go halfway up the mountain.
It took almost an hour to drive forward at the fastest speed. During this period, Lu Qihao's cell phone vibrated and rang continuously, but Lu Qihao never answered the phone, and let it ring by itself.
Coherently stopping the car in one go, Lu Qihao and Qianqian got out of the car and walked towards the direction where the tent was set up in the morning.
"It's here. My sister and I separated here, and we haven't seen her since then. Chairman, let's split up and go find my sister."
Before she could finish speaking, Qianqian had already pulled her legs away and wanted to sneak into the surrounding bushes, but before she could turn around, she was already grabbed by Lu Qihao.
"No, it's too late and it's dark. I don't worry about you acting alone. It's better for us to act together."
Lu Qihao's words also made sense. Hearing this, Qianqian no longer insisted on her own ideas, and obediently stayed by Lu Qihao's side, following him step by step and carefully looking for Sun Xiaoxiao's trace with the flashlight on.
First, he walked around the woods, followed the footprints, and along the mountain path, slowly searching along the way, but after searching for a long time, there was still no sign of Sun Xiaoxiao.Helpless, Lu Qihao could only continue to expand his search range, further entering the dense forest, to find Sun Xiaoxiao.
"Dong...Chairman...Sister Xiaoxiao... Could something really happen..."
As she searched and searched, tears welled up in Qianqian's eyes again, but she couldn't control herself at all.
"Live to see people, die to see corpses, don't talk nonsense."
Although Qianqian's words were just guesses, they also hit Lu Qihao's restless heart. He could clearly feel his heart trembling for a few seconds.
"oops!"
Just when Lu Qihao was thinking about something in his mind, Qianqian, who was following behind him, tightly held the hand at the hem of his clothes, suddenly let it go, and fell heavily to the ground.
"what happened?"
Lu Qihao turned his head in surprise, and looked behind him. The flashlight was not very bright, but with the dim light from the sky, he could barely see Qianqian's current appearance clearly.I saw her sitting on the ground with her buttocks, and there was a very obvious scar on her calf that was accidentally scratched just now.
"what happened?"
Lu Qihao walked quickly to Qianqian's side, half-knelt down on his knees, and carefully inspected the scars on Qianqian's legs in the weak light of the flashlight.
"With such a deep wound, the thing that pierced your leg must be very sharp, plus such a height..."
Lu Qihao was startled suddenly, quickly raised his head, and asked Qianqian anxiously.
"Where was it scratched?"
"I...I just wanted to avoid the...cliff over there...and then I accidentally...scratched my leg..."
cliff?
When Lu Qihao heard these two words, Lu Qihao's heart trembled suddenly. That's right, before coming here, he had briefly read the introduction about this place. It seems that there is indeed such a cliff here, and there is indeed such an old and ancient wooden bridge.
Standing up again, Lu Qihao slowly moved towards the edge of the cliff. As expected, near the kneecap, the wooden railing that originally stood there had already been broken and shattered, and a single protruding wooden bar had clear edges and corners. , looking at it from a distance, it is not difficult to tell that that is the culprit who stabbed Sissy's knee.
Seeing such a situation, Lu Qihao's heart couldn't help but sink heavily, as if his heart was instantly bearing the weight of a big rock, which made him unable to breathe for a while, and the most terrifying thought seemed to be unstoppable in an instant. Like a flood, desperately pouring into his mind.
"Dong... Chairman... look there..."
Just when Lu Qihao was deep in thought, Qianqian screamed behind him, instantly bringing all his thoughts back to reality.Looking in the direction of Qianqian's finger, one could vaguely see a shoe that fell there alone on the ground, and the sharp-eyed Lu Qihao recognized it immediately. Those shoes belonged to no one else but Sun Xiaoxiao's. shoe!
Not caring much, Lu Qihao took out his mobile phone from his pocket and quickly dialed a series of phone numbers.
"Hey... who is it..."
The moment the phone was connected, the person on the other end of the phone was obviously very irritable. After all, it was three o'clock in the morning, and no one would be happy to receive a call at this time.
"I'm Lu Qihao..."
The name had just come out of his mouth, but the other end of the phone had already been silent for an instant, and then he seemed to be completely awake, and his voice when speaking to Lu Qihao became submissive in an instant.
"Who am I? It turns out to be Chairman Lu. He called at such a late hour. Could it be that he is on a business trip abroad?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I will give you 10 minutes to send me the most elite troops to appear in front of me, I want to save someone..."
"10 minutes? Elite troops? No... Chairman Lu, you should tell me what happened before I..."
"I will send the address directly to your mobile phone later. If I don't see anyone in 10 minutes, you, the mayor, will be handed over to someone tomorrow..."
Without giving the other party any chance to speak again, Lu Qihao ruthlessly hung up the phone, lowered his head, and looked down the cliff. Immediately, his whole heart felt like a knife was being twisted, and his legs seemed to lose all strength in an instant, with a thud , knelt down on the ground.
Sun Xiaofei kept calling Lu Qihao in the room, but after more than an hour, she didn't answer the call, and she didn't know where she went. When she was in a state of desperation and didn't know what to do, the door of the room , was suddenly slammed.
Quickly trotting all the way to open the door, the face that appeared in front of her made her completely stunned there, the person standing at the door was not Lu Qihao but Lu Qifeng.
"What are you doing here so late?"
"What? Afraid of being seen by Lu Qihao?"
Looking at Sun Xiaofei's suspicious face, Lu Qifeng said calmly, but with the speed of turning around, he had already squeezed into Sun Xiaofei's room and closed the door heavily.
"What are you going to do?"
Sun Xiaofei took a few steps back vigilantly, and looked up and down Lu Qifeng's frowning face. For some reason, from the moment Lu Qihao disappeared, she had a very bad premonition.
"Don't worry, Lu Qihao won't be coming back tonight."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Sun Xiaofei's heart twitched violently, and she couldn't help being a little more wary of Lu Qifeng in front of her.
"I just received a notice from the old lady that I want to come to your room to find you. You should pack up and change your clothes quickly, and go out with me."
"Where to go?"
Sun Xiaofei couldn't understand Lu Qifeng's endless request.
"Listen, Lu Qihao and that Qianqian have been looking for Sun Xiaoxiao at the bottom of the mountain since the very beginning, and most importantly, they found a shoe that Sun Xiaoxiao left behind at the railing!"
"what!"
Hearing this, Sun Xiaofei covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes were full of fear.The whole face instantly turned pale, without a trace of blood.
"Then... have they... found... Sun Xiaoxiao..."
"Of course not! What are you thinking! Not to mention that the cliffs there are so high, even if she, Sun Xiaoxiaofu, survives a big fall, she can't swim, and the current below is so fast that she will drown if she doesn't fall." Already! Listen, let’s go over now, just to play a show and help us through a scene, the key is that you have to stay calm and don’t mess up your position!”
"Found her shoes... found her shoes..."
At this moment, Sun Xiaofei's mind was constantly surrounded by such a sentence, but she couldn't listen to a single word that Lu Qifeng said. She had never been so worried about whether what she had done would be exposed as she is now.
"Sun Xiaofei! Sun Xiaofei!"
Lu Qifeng shook Sun Xiaofei's body violently, trying to wake her up from his memories.
"Listen, at the police station, I have already asked someone to take care of it. This area is so big, and this search is definitely just going through the motions. I will never put you in any danger! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, Sun Xiaofei! Even if something happens, just remember and push everything to me!"
Hearing this, Sun Xiaofei looked at Lu Qifeng with an unbelievable gaze, and after a long time, she reluctantly nodded, hugged Lu Qifeng's body tightly, and burst into tears.
