Mountain Fire

Previously, when she came to tour, she had climbed through Mount Shu. On the other side of the mountain was a small village. Even if Jiang Yanshen had guessed that she had arrived in Jiang City, it was unlikely that he would find that small village.

She climbed over the guardrail by the roadside and walked quickly up the mountain.

… .

The only intersection where the cars from Lan City entered Jiang City was blocked by a temporary road inspection. Every car had to be checked.

Other than a traffic police car, and a local police car, there was a black Cayenne parked beside them.

The man in the car looked at the passing cars through the window with an endless chill between his brows.

Gu Xici walked over and knocked on the window. When the window was halfway down, he said leisurely, “That’s not right. These are almost all the cars from the traffic jam this morning. I didn’t see your wife. Are you sure she ran in this direction?”

Jiang Yanshen did not answer him. Instead, he pushed open the car door and got out. He looked around with his hawk-like eyes. “Just because she’s not in the car doesn’t mean that she’s not here.”

Gu Xici raised an eyebrow. “Don’t tell me she realized that we’ve already set up a roadblock here!”

She was just a young girl studying fashion. Was her mind so good? He did not believe it.

“She has lived in the mountains with Old Master Lin since she was young and has associated with animals. Her sense of danger is even more sensitive than animals. Any slight movement will make her vigilant.”

“Then what should we do now?” Gu Xici asked. “We can’t just announce to the world that Director Jiang’s wife has escaped and lock down the entire city.”

Jiang Yanshen’s expression was cold. “There’s no need to seal the city. Seal the mountain!”

His calm tone was as if he was talking about buying a cabbage.

“What?” Gu Xici suspected that he had heard wrongly. He turned his gaze to the mountain in the distance. “Don’t tell me you think a little girl like her will enter the mountain? It’ll be dark later. She…”

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen interrupted him. “As I said, she grew up with Old Master Lin.”

Other girls might be afraid, but to Lin Qingqian, going up the mountain was as natural as going home for dinner.

Seeing that he was so firm, Gu Xici’s eyes lit up with ty. He really wanted to know if that girl really had the guts to spend the night alone in the mountains!

Jiang Yanshen had brought more than 30 bodyguards, including retired soldiers. Gu Xici had also asked the people from the bureau here to help search the mountain for her.

… .

Twilight descended, and the tired birds on the horizon returned to the forest.

Lin Qingqian was anxious and worried, but her footsteps were incomparably steady. She walked up step by step at a constant pace to conserve her strength.

There was also a bottle of mineral water in her backpack. She had to control herself and not drink from it too frequently, or it would be very troublesome.

If not for Jiang Yanshen’s sudden appearance, she would be in the hotel room enjoying the comfortable AC, eating dinner, and planning a beautiful future.

She cursed the dog of a man a few more times in her heart.

The temperature in the mountains was not like in the city. The temperature dropped very low at night. The night wind blew and it was cold. The darker the sky, the lower the temperature.

Lin Qingqian took out a knitted cardigan from her backpack and put it on. She drank a few more mouthfuls of water. As she did not bring a flashlight, she could only rely on the faint moonlight to climb the mountain. Her footsteps were much slower than before. After walking for three hours, she finally reached the mountainside.

Feeling that her calf was a little sore, she found a rock nearby and sat down to rest. After rubbing her calf a few times, she suddenly heard a sizzling sound.

She looked up and saw the flames that filled the sky coming from above. Her breath froze and her mind went blank.

—Mountain fire!!

She actually encountered a forest fire!!
