What?
An 'an immediately sat up from the bed. Her mother had actually gone to the hills to look for Lu Yan?
Lu Yan was there dealing with business and the hills were extremely dangerous.
What a joke.
"Mom, listen to me. Lu Yan and I are on good terms. You need to come back right now …"
Before An 'an could finish her words, Huo Yanmei let out a shrill scream and the busy tone was heard.
Huo Yanmei had lost contact with her.
An 'an dialed again and a cold and robotic female voice was heard — - Sorry, the number you have dialed is not within the service area.
What had happened to her mother?
An 'an's face was pale. She quickly got off the bed and left the hotel.
…
An 'an flagged down a taxi on the road. "Sir, go to the hills. Hurry."
The driver switched on the radio. "Young lady, why are you going to the hills? I heard that the first tornado is going to land in the hills at 2.30pm. The weather station has already issued a yellow alert. I can only send you to the area nearby."
An 'an's heart clenched. The tornado was coming?
The tornado was coming.
An 'an looked at the time. It was already 12pm. There were still two hours left.
She took out her cell phone and made a call.
Soon after, an unhurried voice was heard. "Hello, An 'an."
"Brother, bad news. Mom is in trouble!" An 'an gripped her cell phone tightly.
The other end of the line was silent for two seconds. "I'm overseas on a business trip now. I won't be able to rush back in time. I'll give Fu Qinglun a call to let him handle it. An 'an, listen up. There's a strong tornado in the hills. If you don't find Mom before 2pm, evacuate immediately."
Gu Mohan's low voice was filled with calmness and strength.
An 'an nodded. "Mm, I understand."
Tears welled up in her eyes. "Brother, I'll bring Mom out. Mom's life has been really hateful. She has hurt so many people, including the people we love. Perhaps many people hate her and curse her, but she gave us life. Being a mother cannot make up for her sins. But to us, she is still a mother. Selfish, narrow-minded, burdensome, ridiculous … it's all the love she has for us.
"She has nothing now. I think the only consolation in her life is us. How can we abandon her? Even when she was at her most difficult time, she didn't abandon us. Now, Mom is old."
Yes, Mom is old.
His mother was really getting old day by day.
The mistakes she had made in the past were like the merciless knife of time, wantonly destroying her appearance. For many days and nights, the pain of her heart being cut by a knife surged in her soul.
Mother is such a hateful and pitiful person.
On the other end of the line, Gu Mohan was silent for a few seconds. Then he smiled and said in a gentle voice, "An 'an, you've really grown up."
An 'an learned to love others. Lovers love themselves. Self-love and love were the most indestructible forces in the world. One day, An' an welcomed her growing up.
…
An An rushed to the hill. At this moment, a tall figure appeared in front of her. Fu Qinglun had already rushed over.
"Young Master Fu." An An walked forward.
"An'an, I've sent people to search the mountain and found your mother's mobile phone. She drove here, but the car turned over the slope, and your mother rolled down with the car."
Fu Qinglun brought An An over. There were obvious signs of a car skidding on a hill.
An 'an stood on top and looked down. It was an endless forest, like the mouth of an abyss that was engulfed by darkness.
An 'an's face was pale. She lowered her eyes to look at the time. It was one o' clock.
There wasn't enough time. The tornado was coming at two o 'clock.
"I've already sent people to search for an hour, but there's no news at all. An 'an, look at the weather." Fu Qinglun lifted his head to look at the sky.
An 'an also lifted her head slowly. The scorching sun had already been covered by the dark clouds. The late autumn wind blew, making her hands and feet cold.
Her legs were trembling, and she felt as though she was drowning in the cold sea. She couldn't breathe.
At this moment, she heard a deep and magnetic voice. "An 'an."
An 'an froze and promptly turned around.
A few Jeeps drove over, stirring up a trail of dust on the winding and steep mountain road. They were arrogant and domineering.
The bulletproof Jeep at the front stopped and the back door opened. A tall and muscular figure alighted from the car. His black military boots landed on the ground and Lu Yan's handsome and cold face was revealed.
"An 'an, why are you here?" Lu Yan walked in front and held her hand.
In the next second, he furrowed his brows and said unhappily, "Why are your hands so cold?"
He held her hands in his palms and rubbed them forcefully. But after rubbing them, her hands had turned red. F * ck, her skin was as soft as tofu. He couldn't even touch it forcefully.
Lu Yan felt that it was too troublesome and he directly pushed her hands into his arms. Li Si brought a military coat over and draped it over her delicate body.
"Tell me, what happened? Why are you being disobedient again?"
An 'an instantly felt as though she was surrounded by a warm ocean. Her hands and body were all filled with his warmth.
His strong chest, calm aura and even his slightly furrowed brows gave her a sense of security.
An 'an's eyes turned red and she looked at him with teary eyes. "Ah Yan, my mom fell down."
Lu Yan's handsome brows twitched and he walked in front. His black military boots stepped on the loose soil at the side of the cliff and a piece of loose soil fell down. He placed his hands on his waist and scanned the area below.
Fu Qinglun walked in front and passed the tablet to Lu Yan. "General Lu, this is the area that we've searched, but we haven't found anyone."
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and pointed at an area. "Have you searched this area?"
Fu Qinglun's eyes lit up.
"Young Master Fu, get your men to come up. The tornado is about to come ashore. All of you should retreat, I'll go down to search."
Lu Yan said that he would go down to search.
An 'an's eyelashes quivered and she froze.
"General Lu, the tornado is about to come ashore. If you go down alone, it'll be very dangerous," Fu Qinglun said.
Lu Yan glanced at Fu Qinglun and smiled. "You guys don't have any experience in searching for people deep in the mountains. I won't be able to take care of you guys when the tornado is coming. Don't stay here and hinder me. I'll go down myself."
"Ah Yan." An 'an called out.
Lu Yan glanced sideways at her. "You retreat with them."
"I won't."
