Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Rescue

"Left already? Why?"

"Heard that Lao Si left in a hurry."

???

"How about asking Brother Yan?"

As soon as Old Five mentioned this, Zhou Er and Pei San agreed.

Then, they directly made a phone call.

Lu Yan was driving when he picked up the phone:

"What’s up?"

"Brother Yan, why did all of you leave? Weren’t we supposed to hang out until tomorrow?"

Lu Yan explained briefly:

"Lao Si has an urgent task."

A task?

No wonder!

Everyone could understand. If Lao Si had left, Jing would definitely not stay here alone to continue playing.

And if Jing was leaving, how could Lu Yan and his wife not worry?

They would surely follow.

"Okay, got it."

"Mhm, driving, hanging up now."

...

Lu Jing leaned back in the seat, her gaze fixed on the scenery flashing by outside the window.

Bai Luo wanted to say something comforting, but swallowed the words back at the last moment.

Finally, it was Lu Yan who broke the silence:

"Jingjing."

"Huh?"

"Don’t worry too much, Lao Si has participated in many rescue operations over the years; he’s very experienced.

Besides, the entire unit is going together, everyone watches out for each other, and they have all sorts of advanced equipment."

Basically, no major accidents should occur.

But who can guarantee that one hundred percent?

No one can!

Lu Jing hummed a response, not saying much, not wanting her family to worry about her.

She also wasn’t feeling very good.

...

An hour and a half later, the car finally returned to the mansion area.

Lu Jing took the initiative to speak:

"Brother, just drop me off at the entrance, I’ll go in myself."

Normally, she might have gone for a stroll at the old house.

But today, better not.

"Okay."

Bai Luo was holding his son in his arms; Little Yizhou had already fallen asleep, deep in slumber.

As Lu Jing was getting out of the car, Bai Luo grabbed her hand:

"Jingjing, it will be okay."

"Mhm!"

"Alright, go back, rest up, and come over to see us when you have time."

"Okay."

Whether she would actually go to the old house or not, that remained to be seen.

Inside the Lu Mansion, Lu’s mother was discussing with the maid what to prepare for lunch in the kitchen when she suddenly heard a noise and turned around:

"Eh, girl, why are you back? Weren’t you supposed to return tomorrow?"

She was surprised.

She quickly went forward.

Lu Jing put down the luggage, and Jiang Ye’s was also there.

That person left in such a hurry, taking only his phone and documents; he didn’t take anything else.

Now, she had to bring everything back.

"Jiang Ye returned to Nanxi City."

"Huh?"

"An earthquake and mudslide occurred in Fangbei City, adjacent to Nanxi City."

Lu’s mother, of course, knew about this; it had been on the news, but she really didn’t know her future son-in-law had to go.

After all, they weren’t from the same place.

But thinking about it, she could understand.

The two places were right next to each other, and with both an earthquake and a mudslide, assistance was definitely needed.

This wasn’t something one or two people could handle.

Considering this, the situation must be quite serious; otherwise, they wouldn’t have called for emergency reinforcements.

Lu’s mother sighed and stepped forward to take the small handbag in her daughter’s hand:

"Alright, Xiao Ye will definitely call you when he gets a chance; worrying here won’t help!"

Worlds apart, right?

Lu Jing truly understood, but emotionally it was a bit...

Being human, one is inevitably bound by emotions.
