"Yiqing County has never been a very developed place, and with their intentional cover-up,
plus the continuous heavy rain, landslides, mudslides... it indeed caused the local power and internet to go out, losing contact."
However, in this internet era, soone will always eventually reveal the truth.
From social dia, forums, Weibo, as it gets shared around, more and more people will know about it.
Xi Wei said, "So, the disaster situation in Yiqing County is far more severe than what’s been shown online.
Li Mingmo and his team set up a rescue team, and he went to Yiqing County for disaster relief too.
It’s a disaster zone, and with the continuous heavy rain, there’s a constant risk of landslides and mudslides happening at any mont.
Last night, I even dreamt that Li Mingmo was hit by falling rocks from a sudden landslide."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
"Sigh..."
"Sigh..."
Xi Wei couldn’t help sighing, and to her surprise, Bai Haoxue sighed at the sa ti.
"Haoxue, why did you sigh?" She seed even more worried than Xi Wei.
"Ji Hanyu also went to Yiqing County." Bai Haoxue sighed again, "I don’t even know whether to say we’re unlucky sisters or to say Ji Hanyu and Li Mingmo are unlucky brothers?"
"What is Ji Hanyu doing in Yiqing County?" This ti, it was Xi Wei’s turn to be puzzled.
Bai Haoxue said, "He said it was for a business trip, that there were problems with their project, and he had to go oversee it himself."
"Problems with the project? Ji Group’s project in Yiqing County." Xi Wei paused, recalling what her father had ntioned, and imdiately covered her mouth.
"Oh my god, is Ji Hanyu risking his life just to make money? How could he go there at a ti like this?"
"What’s the matter?" Bai Haoxue looked at Xi Wei urgently, "Do you know what’s wrong with Ji Group’s project there?"
Xi Wei said, "If I rember correctly, Ji Group’s project in Yiqing County involved building a resort there, nestled against the mountain.
My father also thought it was a great idea to build a resort there, saying it has so pure natural scenery and local customs, and the higher-ups are interested in developing Yiqing County, so building a resort there is sure to be profitable.
But Ji Hanyu beat him to it, and while my father regretted it, he also praised Ji Hanyu as a remarkable young talent in business."
At that ti, she didn’t know Ji Hanyu, she just heard about it.
Although telling Bai Haoxue would make her anxious and worried, Xi Wei still chose to tell the truth.
In her view, knowingly deceiving soone under the guise of being for their own good is a foolish act.
Xi Wei said, "I’ve heard that the area hit worst by the landslide and mudslides is that very place in Yiqing County."
"That big liar." Bai Haoxue angrily pounded the table.
In the morning, when she called Ji Hanyu, he said he was in the hotel and would go to the construction site for an inspection in the afternoon.
Inspection, my ass?
Imdiately, Bai Haoxue dialed Ji Hanyu’s phone number.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off."
She called several tis, but it was the sa chanical female voice.
Bai Haoxue placed her hand on her forehead, feeling both angry and anxious.
"Don’t worry too much..." Xi Wei half-joked, "Otherwise, while I’m worried about Li Mingmo, I’ll also feel guilty because I was the one who told you.
Over there, the power and internet are down, and many of the signal towers in the mountainous area have been knocked over, so most places have no signal."
