YM778.TV Chapter 540: Why Would I Bring You to a Dangerous Place?
“She’s not with me.” Lin Gantang couldn’t help but sit up straight. “Slow down. What happened to Bei Bei?”
Seeing that Wen Yanqing was using his eyes to ask her what was going on, Lin Gantang promptly turned on the speaker.
When Xu BingXi heard that Bei Bei wasn’t there, he became even more anxious. “She said that she was just taking a walk and left with her phone. I saw her taking a walk on the grass nearby, so I didn’t follow her. I was tired and went back to my tent to sleep. When I woke up, I asked Tianjin and Yingying, and only then did they realize that Bei Bei hadn’t returned.
“I called out to her but no one answered. I was wondering if she was with you. It’s dark now. Could something have happened to her?” Xu BingXi asked in alarm.
“Don’t be nervous.” Wen Yanqing said calmly, “Zhuoguang Hill is rather safe and the terrain is relatively flat. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any huge incidents. The forest in the distance is denser. Have you searched it together?”
“Not yet.”
“It’s also possible that she’s lost. It’s dark now and she can’t find her way.” Wen Yanqing said, “Let one of you stay in the camp and light up the bonfire. The rest of you go and search together. Follow the road and be careful not to get lost. The signal here has been fully covered. Take care of your cell phones and keep in touch.”
“Alright, alright.”
“Let’s do a simple search first. If we don’t find anything, I’ll call the police. You guys must be careful.”
Wen Yanqing’s tone was very calm. Xu Bingxi seemed to have found his backbone and gradually calmed down. “Alright, I’ll go now.”
Xu BingXi hurriedly hung up the phone.
“Will she really be fine?” Lin Gantang asked worriedly as she kept her phone.
“Why would I bring you to a dangerous place?” Wen Yanqing said, “What I’m most afraid of now is that she can’t see the road clearly in the dark and might have gotten injured accidentally. Xu Bingxi said that no one picked up her phone. She probably lost her phone.”
“I’ll go with you as well.” Lin Gantang picked up an outdoor flashlight and came out.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t feel at ease sitting alone in the tent.
Along the way, Wen Yanqing held her hand tightly. Clearly, he was more worried about Lin Gantang’s safety.
The two of them had entered the forest during the day, and the ground in front of them was still relatively flat. He and Lin Gantang each stood on either side of the path, calling out Bei Bei’s name.
The forest went deeper and deeper. After searching for an unknown period of time, Lin Gantang suddenly noticed a light in the dark grass. She hurriedly pulled at Wen Yanqing and walked over to pick up Bei Bei’s lost phone.
Xu BingXi had been persistently calling Bei Bei, so the light on the screen lit up and was spotted by Lin Gantang.
“Bei Bei!” Xu Bingxi shouted excitedly when the call connected.
“I’m Gantang. I just found Bei Bei’s phone. She came here earlier. I’ll go look for her with Yanqing,” Lin Gantang said.
Xu BingXi hung up the phone in disappointment.
As they walked deeper into the forest, the lights and bonfire outside could no longer be seen.
The ground was covered in leaves and weeds, and footsteps could not be seen clearly. It was only when they reached a deeper part of the forest and Lin Gantang called out to Bei Bei that Wen Yanqing stopped and listened. His expression changed slightly as he pulled Lin Gantang into the forest.
“Found her.”
The light in Wen Yanqing’s hand shone in front of a large tree. He pushed aside the weeds in front of him, and Bei Bei was huddled up in front of the tree trunk.
The flashlight illuminated a large area. When Bei Bei saw a familiar person appear in front of her, it was as if she had seen an angel. The terror and fear she had felt for the entire night, as well as the extreme panic she had felt when the darkness around her had consumed her, were instantly dispelled.
Bei Bei, who had thought that she was going to be alone in the endless darkness, waiting in terror for the dawn, suddenly let out a wail..
