Chapter 327: Saving Zhen Chan

Translator: _Min_ |

Chi Mian’s home was a quaint, ancient manor, simply decorated yet full of charm.

Holding the freshly printed doc.u.ments, Gu Dai couldn’t help but ask, “How was Master Zhen Chan deceived back then?”

Chi Mian gazed skyward, recalling, “My mom mentioned that a group had once approached Aunt Zhen to partic.i.p.ate in a compet.i.tion. She returned very upset. The specifics are unclear, but we all knew Aunt Zhen had been duped, making it hard for her to trust others now.”

Gu Dai nodded, resolving to investigate the matter further.

Preparing to try again with Master Zhen Chan, she suddenly felt the ground tremble as she stood up.

Sensing something amiss, Gu Dai asked Chi Mian, “Did you feel the ground shake just now?”

Chi Mian, unperturbed, nodded, “I did feel it. But such tremors are common here; we’re used to them.”

Still uneasy but rea.s.sured by Chi Mian’s calm, Gu Dai tried to set aside her worries.

Su Ting approached Gu Dai, saying, “Sister, this could be a prelude to an earthquake.”

Stepping outside, Gu Dai saw the water in the pond rise slightly and bubbles form. Frogs leapt from the lotus pond to the sh.o.r.e, dogs barked incessantly, and birds scattered in the sky.

Gu Dai urgently called out to Chi Mian, “An earthquake is coming, get Aunt Chi to open s.p.a.ce!”

Turning to Su Ting, she commanded, “Let’s warn the others in the village!”

Fortunately, they had ample time to gather people before the earthquake struck. Looking around, Gu Dai suddenly realized that Master Zhen Chan was nowhere to be seen.

She hurried back towards Master Zhen Chan’s house.

Su Ting noticed Gu Dai’s actions and asked, “Sis, where are you going?”

Without turning back, Gu Dai replied, “I’m going to find Master Zhen Chan. Take care of everyone here!”

Su Ting wanted to follow, but heeded Gu Dai’s instruction and stayed, watching her retreating figure with concern.

Chi Mian, observing Su Ting’s demeanor, said, “I can take care of things here. Go find Sister Gu Dai.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ting quickly rushed off.

Meanwhile, Song Ling had arrived at Xiuyang Village according to the map.

Zhao Xuan, following Song Ling, couldn’t help but glance at him, thinking to himself that President Song was naturally skilled in pursuing girls and didn’t need his advice.

Song Ling, noticing Zhao Xuan’s glances, felt embarra.s.sed but quickly composed himself, stating coldly, “I came to Xiuyang Village not for Gu Dai, but for Master Zhen Chan. My grandfather had some acquaintance with her. It’s only right for me to pay her a visit.”

Zhao Xuan blurted out, “President Song, I think you should change your habit of having a sharp tongue and a soft heart. Only by expressing your true feelings…”

He stopped mid-sentence under Song Ling’s icy stare, quickly diverting, “Let’s go in, President Song. Master Zhen Chan will surely be happy to see you.”

Song Ling felt speechless.

Song Ling was tempted to dock Zhao Xuan’s pay, but before he could speak, he felt the ground shake.

Zhao Xuan reacted instantly, “President Song, this seems like an earthquake. We should go back!”

Song Ling’s expression turned grave as he coldly said, “You go back.”

With that, he ran into the village.

Zhao Xuan looked at Song Ling’s departing figure, then at the way back, but ultimately decided to follow Song Ling.

Upon entering the village, Song Ling saw dozens of men and women gathered in an open area, but Gu Dai was not among them. His brow furrowed, and his face showed signs of anxiety.

Chi Mian, noticing the stranger, asked warily, “Who are you?”

Song Ling, ignoring the question, demanded, “Where’s Gu Dai?”

Chi Mian glanced at Song Ling and answered, “She went into the village to help people.”

Help people?

Anger surged through Song Ling. “She dares to risk herself in such a dangerous situation as an earthquake? This is reckless!”

As he prepared to rush in, the ground trembled more violently, trees began to fall, and surrounding buildings started to sway….
