Chapter 213: Hanging in Balance
In midst of the panic, Mo Li and the other doctors jumped out from the bus. The scene which greeted them was shocking. The road ahead was blocked by many large rocks and soil.
A bus had turned over on its side on the road. Fortunately, help was already being administered to rescue the bus and its passengers. At first glance, there didn’t seem to be any heavy injury among the passengers.
However, in front of the bus, at the edge of a steep cliff, an off-road car was teetering. The driver probably tried to avoid the landslide and thus skidded out of the rails. The slippery road didn’t help either. Currently, more than half of the car was hanging out of the cliff. It was terrifying to see.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was a young woman who was in the driver’s seat. She was scared but her expression was proud and calm. In contrast, the other passengers were already shivering and weeping.
“My God…” Qin Xuan stood beside Mo Li and he was shocked by what he saw. He didn’t plan to join this mission but when he heard Mo Li would be leading the team, he signed up immediately.
Mo Li frowned.?How often can this happen? If there is a wrong movement, the car and its passengers will fall towards certain death. action
Qin Xuan opened the umbrella to help Mo Li block the rain but thanks to the wind, the effect was minimal. Mo Li cared more about the safety of the people in the car than getting wet. She wiped the water from her face and walked towards the teetering car.
The front of the car was swaying due to the howling wind. It looked like it was about to nosedive down the cliff at any moment. Thankfully the back wheels of the car were caught in the landslide as well as trees and bushes that lined the rails. They helped anchor the car… but for how long?
The woman in the driver’s seat didn’t act flustered. Mo Li wondered if she was forcing the calmness or she was really that calm, either way, Mo Li was impressed.
A female doctor walked to join Mo Li. When she saw the woman inside the side, gasped, “Wait, isn’t that Doctor Lu Qin in the driver’s seat?”
When Mo Li heard that, she didn’t know what to say…?How can it be her?
?It had been quite some time since Mo Li encountered another character from the original . Lu Qin, she was the third female lead, and an orthopedic surgeon.She was a female soldier, specifically a military doctor. She was also the only daughter of the commander of the special forces at Beijing. In the original, Lu Qin was described as quite a beauty. She had a pair of traditional Chinese phoenix eyes, where the ends of her eyes titled upwards. It made her look sharp and domineering. In contrast, her body proportion was slender and feminine.
Lu Qin was the daughter of a military commander so she had a natural oppressive presence. Lu Qin’s parents had always wanted a son because a son would be more appropriate to take over the family’s military legacy. Lu Qin had always lived in the shadow of that absent son. Therefore, perhaps to compensate, Lu Qin had turned out to be tougher than most men.
Of course, Mo Li didn’t care about this. The real problem that she might have with Lu Qin was that when Lu Qin first applied to join the army, she encountered Quan Yu who happened to be at the base for his family business. That was the first time Lu Qin felt like dropping her act and be a woman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the original story, Lu Qin had little interaction with Mo Li, so Mo Li didn’t know too much about her. Mo Li only knew that Lu Qin’s romance history was always unsuccessful.
Quan Yu ignored her pursuit and when her family found out, her parents banned her from having further interaction with Quan Yu.
As Mo Li pondered the possible complication, a drone landed before her. It had a walkie-talkie attached to it. “My dear granddaugh… Ahem, I mean, Doctor Mo Li, we’ve already sent our army’s rescue team to your location, please wait patiently for their arrival.” Mo Li could envision Elder Lin directing the scene at the command central.
However, as Mo Li looked around, she replied with concern, “Commander Lin, I’m afraid this car won’t be able to wait until the arrival of the rescue team.”
Lin Qi was quite worried when he saw the scene projected from the drone. It didn’t make it better when Lin Qi saw it was the Lu Family’s daughter and her team who were inside the car.
“The rescue team won’t arrive so soon, how about we have the men try to drag the car up from the cliff?” Another voice said from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
“No.” Lin Qi and Mo Li said in unison. People at both ends of the communication were shocked when they heard that.
The person who spoke could be considered Lin Qi’s apprentice. He had no idea why Lin Qi had vetoed his suggestion.
