"Auntie, I'm sure nothing will happen to him. Nothing will ever happen to him." As Yun Bixue said that, she felt that she could not hold her tears in. However, she lifted her head and forced her tears back in.

"Young miss, I understand how you feel. You should just go and ask the team leader first."

Yun Bixue patted her head and said, "Oh, right. He's the Minister of State Affairs. You might not know his name, but you should know his position, right?"

The moment she mentioned Minister of State Affairs, that person seemed to recall something. "I know him. He's the one who led our team. He's exceptionally nice and is a good official. He did not put on any airs at all. Whenever there was danger, he would come with us and say that they're all our citizens, so it would be good to save as many people as we can and that every person we saved counts. He did not sleep for countless nights when he was with us too. To save more people and ensure the wellbeing of the team, he almost did not have any time to rest. The snow there was really terrible. Furthermore, the cliffs in the mountainous areas were steeper, and danger was around everywhere we went. Afterwards, we didn't see him again. However, I believe that the minister is such a good man, so he will surely be blessed…"

Yun Bixue's mind whirled incessantly as her gaze turned piercing sharp. "No, nothing will definitely happen to him. He will definitely come back." At that moment, Yun Bixue could sense a b.l.o.o.d.y smell frothing in her throat.

Her body turned weak as she almost collapsed on the floor. However, someone supported and held on to her. Her dark, lifeless gaze suddenly lit up and came back to life as she exclaimed, "Limo? It's you, right?"

Yun Bixue turned around in excitement. When she saw that it was w.a.n.g Qianjin, her eyes darkened once again.

w.a.n.g Qianjin gave a faint, seductive smile as he said, "Are you very disappointed that it's me?"

Yun Bixue pushed w.a.n.g Qianjin away and stared at him icily. "Tell me, why didn't he come back? You definitely know what's going on, right? Did you do something to him? Did you?"

"Yun Bixue, you should calm down a little. No news is good news. He'll be fine."

"Really?" Yun Bixue desperately wanted an answer deep down, even if someone lied just to please her.

"Yes, really. I, w.a.n.g Qianjin, may not be a very good person, but at least I won't bother lying to a woman."

Yun Bixue replied coldly, "w.a.n.g Qianjin, I hope you're not lying to me. You should know that even if you saved me, I would sometimes feel a surge of rage to kill you."

"I know. You can try stabbing me right now with a knife too."

Yun Bixue did not have the energy to bother with w.a.n.g Qianjin's words. Her heart was terribly in pain as she lowered her head and murmured, "Xie Limo… Xie Limo…"

w.a.n.g Qianjin pulled Yun Bixue's elbow and said, "Yun Bixue, where did your usual charm go? Where did your usual calm and rational thinking go to?"

Yun Bixue shook her head and uttered desolately, "I want to keep calm, but I can't. w.a.n.g Qianjin, tell me, why do I have to go through so much? I feel like my heart is turning into steel now. I feel so tired facing all this alone…"

Hearing Yun Bixue suddenly launching into soft mutterings, w.a.n.g Qianjin's expression relaxed a little. He pursed his thin lips as he only realized now that this woman, who had always been icily cold and resilient, could also have her weak and frail moments. She was just a vulnerable woman too.

He just happened to be here. He only recognized her when he saw her familiar back.

The Yun Bixue at this moment gave people the feeling of an old leaf, as though she would fall any moment if she was blown. Yet she still forced herself to remain standing.

"I checked the name list. Xie Limo's name is not included in this batch of rescuers. The leaders who followed them there had all returned two days ago. He did not come with them either."

"I don't believe that something had happened to him. He would definitely keep himself safe for my sake." She still remembered her mother-in-law, Ji Qiongxin's words. Hence, she firmly held on to this belief.
