Chapter 345: Distress Signal From Afar

“Lu Yi, where is Nini?” Ye Shuyun was still carrying the cat. Thankfully she had the cat with her, or else she would have died of loneliness. What use was there having a son, who wasn’t normally around and was nowhere as obedient as a cat?

“She has gone back,” Lu Yi was still sitting on the sofa with the TV on. Yan Huan’s Journey to Fairyland was showing and she was still a carefree young girl back then. But one’s life can go both ways.

“Gone back?” Ye Shuyun quickly went over. “Why did she go back, what happened? You asked her to leave?”

“No,” Lu Yi turned around and answered his mother seriously.

“Mum, Do you think I am such a person?”

“No,” Ye Shuyun shook her head. Her son was highly educated and the Lu family had good manners. No matter what, at the very least they wouldn’t disrespect their guests.

“Then what happened?”

“Nothing happened?” Lu Yi picked up the cup and placed it to his lips as he continued staring at the TV.

“Mum,” he suddenly said to Ye Shuyun.

“Yes, what?”

Ye Shuyun was pretty bummed out, why did she leave like this? No, she must ask her personally. Her son was almost 27 years old and if he got married now, they girl would be pregnant next year and if she gave birth the year after, he would be almost 30. If he was late a few more years, when would she be able to carry her grandson?

Other people’s grandson were so old, but she didn’t even have a daughter-in-law.

“Mum, you don’t have to matchmake for me in the future.”

Lu Yi’s gaze never left the TV. There was someone fine inside but it was a pity no one else knew about it.

“Why?” Ye Shuyun’s eyes widen. “If you don’t look for any girls, do you want to look for a man? Lu Yi do you want to lose your leg?” She suddenly stood up as she felt something was wrong with this. Could it be that her son was really gay?

“No,” Lu Yi was still calm as he stroked the edge of his cup with his bony finger.

“I have a girlfriend; I will bring her to you in a few days.”

“What?” Ye Shuyun quickly placed the cat in her arms down upon hearing that her son has a girlfriend. She went over and grabbed his neck.

“You have a girlfriend? How old is she? What does she do? Is she pretty? When are you guys planning to get married, to have kids?”

Lu Yi pointed at the image on the TV.

Ye Shuyun looked up, it was her idol daughter.

“That’s Yan Huan. Is my future daughter-in-law in this industry too?”

Lu Yi nodded.

“Okay, that’s good,” Ye Shuyun grabbed her finger, “This industry is good, she should be pretty. My future granddaughter will be a beautiful girl,” No, she believed it was unlikely for anyone from the Lu family to give birth to a girl. Everyone knew that this was the Lu family’s curse for the past few generations.

But Ye Shuyun had never thought that Lu Yi was talking about Yan Huan. She didn’t think to there either and her only thought was that it could be a young actress. Even though the Lu family looked down on those in the entertainment industry, so long as it wasn’t someone too brazen, she could close one eye to that.

At this moment, Lu Yi’s phone rang.

He picked up his phone and walked to the balcony to answer it.

“Qingyi, its me.”

A moment later, he walked out with a pale face straight to the exit.

“Son, where are you going?”

Ye Shuyun was planning to talk a little about her daughter-in-law but Lu Yi had already worn his shoes and was prepared to leave.

In any case, she wasn’t in a rush. Ye Shuyun patted her chest. So long as her son liked her, whether she looked like a pig or not, Ye Shuyun would still help them get married. So long as she had a grandson early.

On the car, Lu Yi clicked the Bluetooth headset in his ear. “Are you serious, there is a distress signal from there?”

“Yes,” Lei Qingyi’s fingers quickly clicked on the top of his computer. “It is the one that you took from me, I have received it today and have checked it. It is indeed from where the show is filming. I have called Yi Ling and she has contacted the production company. They have no idea where they are but one thing that we can be sure of, that girl of yours must be in some huge trouble.”

“Qingyi, help me prepare a helicopter,” Lu Yi took a turn and headed straight for Lei Qingyi’s place.

“You are really going?”

Lei Qingyi wasn’t too surprised by Lu Yi’s decision. Lu Yi’s character has been like this all along. If he didn’t go to look for her himself, he wouldn’t be Lu Yi. Even if he went there himself and realised it was a misunderstanding, he would be fine with it. He wanted to make sure that he saw for himself that she was safe.

“Yes, I will be at your place soon,” Lu Yi stepped on the accelerator before pressing on his Bluetooth headset again. He took a few days off work at the attorney office before preparing to go look for his girl personally.

At this moment somewhere, Yan Huan took another candy and dissolved it in the cup. She used the bottle cap to feed Song Xihua again. He was still unconscious but his face wasn’t as pale as before. He was able to drink water but still couldn’t eat.

She poured some water into the bottle cap and placed it at her lips to drink. She wanted to soothe her throat. When she woke up the next morning, she could gather the dew over here. She had no idea how much she could gather but she kept most of the water for Song Xihua. As for herself, she tried not to drink if she could.

But she could feel herself seriously dehydrated and was constantly thirsty. Her lips were cracking but she still didn’t dare to drink too much water. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to wait for someone to rescue them before the water is gone.

The sky turned dark again as she pressed the emergency lamp. There was some light in the lamp and thankfully these lamps weren’t battery-powered by were solar-powered. It was still usable at night from the energy it got during the day. However as she pressed, it didn’t light up.

She didn’t give up as she pressed again. It still didn’t light up.

Damn it, she sighed as she threw the lamp aside. She had no idea how she was going to get past a night without light.

Without light, she felt her entire being slipping into the darkness. She was afraid of the dark.

She scrunched her body up and started shivering uncontrollably. She was afraid and in fear.

Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. She told herself there was nothing to be afraid of. This wasn’t her previous life and no one was going to kill her. No one was going to kill her and no one was going to harm her. She was going to live well, always.

The heavens had let her reborn again not for her to die like this.

She tightly wrapped her arms around her body as cold sweat appeared at the top of her forehead.

Black, endless black. Darkness, intense darkness.
