"Furthermore, I found out that you two divorced because there was a discrepancy. Xian Zihao was forced to leave by you! I don't understand, if it's only because of the children, he could have taken them away, but he didn't. He left the children with you, and every month, he will receive a stack of pictures. I once visited his office when he was out for a meeting and I noticed that one of his drawers was filled with pictures of your children."
Qin Gengxin had asked Jiang Ruolan this question before. He said that he can't understand why it can't be him because he was on par with Xian Zihao, and he was her childhood sweetheart.
Perhaps no matter how good Xian Zihao was, he was still imperfect, as no matter how great Jiang Ruolan was, she would still feel the need to avoid everything because of her mother's hatred.
But sometimes, she really didn't know what's good about her, why can't she be replaced by someone else.
The other day, Jiang Ruolan invited Shi Zheng to eat donkey meat grilled outside the company. Shi Zheng looked down on food, saying it was dirty and unhealthy. It's full of sewer oil, so how can she eat it?
Jiang Ruolan just smiled and said, "Yes, we all know that the food outside is not clean, but we still want to eat. Xian Zihao has accompanied me to eat here many times."
Shi Zheng didn't say anything and left. Jiang Ruolan heard that a week after Shi Zheng returned to Imperial City, she applied for a transfer and returned to Beijing.
Jiang Ruolan thought that there were only two types of love in this world. One was the true love of a lifetime, where the couple will never leave each other and the other was the great helplessness the couple had to bear for the sake of their children after a lifetime of fighting.
Later on, she found out that there was actually another love. Although the couple was clearly in love, for some reason, they can not be together, so the destruction of this peace was just a kind of excessive obsession in their hearts.
Life wasn't like on a TV show. Jiang Ruolan didn't know exactly what love really was. When her children called her mommy and as she watched them grow up day by day with the passage of time, the longing towards Xian Zihao increased. An emotion like this will explode one day.
Jiang Ruolan thought all the feelings would all disappear gradually with their separation, but she never thought that watching the news of the earthquake on TV would destroy all her rational insistence.
"It's already too dark. Unfortunately, we have to continue the search operation tomorrow."
Originally, the place was very close to Imperial City. Although everyone's phone line was not cut off, they were not in a good mood. Suddenly, a cell phone rang, causing the few people in the tent to look over.
Jiang Ruolan was stunned, she looked down at her phone. The number was unfamiliar, but she knew it was from Imperial City.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt her heart tremble violently. She quickly picked up the phone and put it by her ear. "Hello?"
On the other side, Jiang Ruolan could only hear the sound of rain falling. She frowned. "Hello?"
However, in that instant, the other party hung up the phone, and a beeping sound was heard.
Jiang Ruolan's expression changed as she hurriedly redialed the number. However, she only heard the cold female voice on the line, saying, "The person is temporarily unable to reach."
The unease in her heart grew. Jiang Ruolan didn't dare to think who it was.
She redialed the number while there was still a signal, but she still couldn't reach the person until her cell phone signal was completely gone.
***
The next day, Jiang Ruolan followed the provincial leader on a helicopter. By the evening, they finally arrived at the disaster area.
Currently, 80% of buildings in the disaster area had collapsed, and the number of casualties hadn't yet been calculated. Helicopters can only be parked on the school field and before everyone got off, the person in charge advised everyone to stay away from the disaster buildings.
Jiang Ruolan just nodded and didn't interrupt. After they got off the plane, she took the opportunity to stop an uninjured middle-aged woman outside the tent, "I'm sorry, did you know where President Xian went?"
"I don't know."
The people around here were all busy with their own affairs, rescuing their own people, and suddenly a group of people shouted for someone to help them save a person.
Jiang Ruolan couldn't stand it anymore, she quickly helped them dig up the pile of rubble. After a while, her hand started to feel sore and she finally managed to save the shallow man just in time. After that, she hurriedly turned around and followed the provincial leader to the core of the disaster area.
"How is it? There is still no news about President Xian?" After the provincial leader finished his discussions with a few people, someone immediately asked anxiously.
They were afraid that General Xian would cause trouble. The Xian Family had a huge influence in the country.
The others looked at each other, their faces filled with worry. "There's still no news, his phone can't be reached."
"Did you send a helicopter?"
After President Xian arrived here yesterday afternoon, he and the rescue team went to the disaster area together. Then, everyone was busy with so many people were buried at that time. Everyone who passed by would turn around to give help, and then, we didn't know where President Xian went. I heard from the military team that President Xian was last seen yesterday in a village near the epicenter, and now, other than the plane, no cars can drove there, and no one else dared to go there."
"President Xian went to the Upper Village with a group of rescue team members?"
"Yes! Yesterday afternoon, the last person to see President Xian was from Shangshui Village! All the houses over there have collapsed now! There is simply no place for us to set foot. This is too miserable!"
The rain was so heavy that the blood on the ground was washed away. The provincial leader sternly ordered the people to proceed with the rescue mission and sent two more helicopters to Shangshui Village to rescue Xian Zihao. They had to find him!
After the provincial leader finished speaking, he turned to ask reporters to record the situation here. Although there were other reporters on the site, Jiang Ruolan had followed him from the provincial government. When he turned around, he was shocked to learn that Jiang Ruolan had disappeared.
"She went over there! What was she doing in the helicopter?"
Jiang Ruolan took her press pass and got on the helicopter before it left for the village. However, the people on the helicopter didn't quite agree that she should go with them, so she took a photo of her children from her bag and showed it to them, "I'm Xian Zihao's wife! This is our children. Look at this picture, the children were very similar to him and me. I'm his wife, and he's in danger! I'll definitely have to come! I beg you!"
Due to the rush time, the people on the helicopter only hesitated for a moment. Given that she was a journalist, they did not refuse again.
In less than ten minutes, the helicopter arrived at Shang Shui Village. However, it was impossible to pass through the vehicles as the traffic here was not very developed due to the small size of the village. The only road was broken and the helicopter hovered around until it landed on a large flat area in front of them.
As soon as the helicopter landed, Jiang Ruolan rushed out.
"Miss Jiang! You can't do it alone! It's too dangerous!"
Jiang Ruolan looked at the rainy sky. "I want to go find my husband."
"But right now, there's a high possibility of landslides. It's too dangerous!"
"Could I trouble you to lend me a flashlight?" Jiang Ruolan turned around and borrowed a flashlight from them. She did not go impulsively and went with them to save the others. From time to time, she would look for the figure of Xian Zihao.
