Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 938: Chapter 939: I Want to Go to Your Side

”Jiguan Village’s highest ground is no longer safe either! Dam release at ten! After the release, it will become an ocean! Everyone must evacuate, two hundred and seventy-nine villagers, as well as your sixty-three people, not one less!”

”Are you starting to clear from the inside now? No, it’s not possible, the rain is too heavy, it’s too dangerous! Pull back!”

Chiang Xiao and Du Jinruo stood by the side, with Du Jinruo also visibly anxious. She couldn’t help but step forward and called out urgently, ”Officer Meng, it’s Jinruo! Are you alright?”

Meng Xinian had been reporting the situation on the other end when suddenly he heard a female voice, and fell silent for a moment.

The Du Family’s status was not low, and although Director Ye was somewhat displeased with Du Jinruo’s behavior, he still paused before saying, ”You’re a lucky guy. Xiao Du is worried about you, she specifically asked me to bring her over, and now she’s right beside me.”

Upon hearing this, Du Jinruo subconsciously wanted to step forward and talk to Meng Xinian again. At that moment, she felt as if she were part of Meng Xinian’s family.

Just then, Meng Xinian heard another voice, cold and not loud, ”Meng Xinian.”

Meng Xinian was about to scold, but his words immediately turned into a cry of joy, ”Little? Little, how did you get here too?”

Director Ye and Du Jinruo were both stunned. They had been so focused on the phone with Meng Xinian that they had completely overlooked Chiang Xiao’s voice. Moreover, with the heavy rain pouring outside, how did Meng Xinian on the other end of the phone hear such a faint voice?

Chiang Xiao raised her voice a bit, calmly saying, ”I’m just outside Guan Town. No matter what, no matter the situation, you have to stay alive for me, do you understand?”

”I understand! Little, I’ll go outside and talk to you again. Director Ye, here’s the situation: we can’t wait until dawn, once the rain lessens, we’ll start clearing the road from here, and you should start working from the outside simultaneously, that way we can move faster. Also, there’s a pregnant woman here, eight and a half months along, and in bad condition. We don’t have the right medication for her, has the doctor arrived yet? I know a shortcut, I’ll go out and bring the doctor in!”

”I’ll go!”

”Let me go.”

Du Jinruo and Chiang Xiao spoke at the same time.

Director Ye was now furious, turning his head to glower at them, ”Are you two here to make trouble? Doctor! Which one of you is it?”

But Meng Xinian’s voice suddenly became grave and serious, ”Let Chiang Xiao come, make sure she’s prepared. I will use a high-powered flashlight to guide her from halfway, she must walk half the distance by herself. That part of the road is very dangerous, Little...”

Du Jinruo was simply dumbfounded. Did Meng Xinian completely ignore her the whole time?

She was here, so why was everything being directed at that young girl?

She had wanted to argue for a chance to be the one to go inside and talk to Meng Xinian, but then a peal of thunder suddenly boomed outside, a flash of lightning caused her to shrink down to her core.

Outside the storm raged, and darkness engulfed everything. Was it certain that no one would be sent in to walk halfway?

In such weather, to walk alone on a completely unfamiliar mountain path, she was truly afraid.

While she was hesitating, Chiang Xiao had already spoken calmly, ”Convince Director Ye to hand it over to you, I must go to your side. I’m at Duke Guan Temple, tell me which direction to head after I go out. I’m leaving right now.”

The sound of the rain continued to pour outside, and Meng Xinian hardly hesitated. He was persuaded by Chiang Xiao’s ”I must go to your side” and immediately directed her.
