Chapter 881: Life or Death Unknown

Cai Xiaotang stared blankly down the cliff, her mind a complete void.

She never would have imagined that the person who had been right in front of her just the day before would vanish off the cliff's edge in an instant, their life or death unknown.

Large tears fell from her eyes like beads from a broken string; Cai Xiaotang stared at the expanse of white mist before her, unable to speak for a long while.

Not until someone stepped forward and tugged at her arm.

"Madam, we are preparing to go down and search now, you..."

Laoqi said this while trying to help Cai Xiaotang up first.

Cai Xiaotang seemed to suddenly snap back to reality, hurriedly grabbing him to ask: "How deep is it down there? Were any emergency rescue measures arranged beforehand? Is there any cover at the bottom? They..."

"Madam, let us take you back first; we will inform you the moment there is any news..."

Laoqi's eyes also turned red, and he dared not easily judge the situation below, though he already had his own assessment in his heart, as did everyone else present.

Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment, as if she had seen something in his expression.

There was a high probability that Li Xiao... had already met with disaster.

Falling from a place like this was inherently perilous, but before the situation was confirmed, no one was willing to state it plainly.

But what if!

What if... he was only injured and was still alive!

A thought flashed through Cai Xiaotang's mind like lightning, and she immediately turned around and ran toward the path down the mountain!

As long as he was still alive, no matter what he had become, she would not abandon him!

As long as he was alive!

He had to be alive!

"Madam! You..."

Seeing her turn and leave, Laoqi and the others immediately followed her with quick steps.

But they did not expect that the next second—"Baobao! What happened to you?"

Li Beijue's panicked shout suddenly came from afar, filled with terror.

Cai Xiaotang's footsteps stopped instantly, and she subconsciously looked toward the direction the voice came from, her eyes filled with confusion.

Baobao?

Right...

Baobao said she would wait for her here!

What happened to her!

As Cai Xiaotang thought this, her already chaotic mind was completely thrown into disarray.

The names Li Xiao and Jiang Baobao kept crossing in her mind until she saw Li Beijue stumbling out of the snow, carrying a figure in his arms.

His body was covered in bits of snow.

But dotted upon that white snow were several streaks of shocking red!

"Baobao!!!"

Cai Xiaotang was pulled back to her senses by that glaring color and immediately ran over in a panic.

She then saw Jiang Baobao's face deathly pale, her eyes tightly shut, lying quietly in Li Beijue's arms.

"What happened to Baobao! Is she hurt? Where is she injured!"

Cai Xiaotang's tears fell again, pattering down; looking at Jiang Baobao's lifeless appearance, she dared not touch her, her face full of anxiety.

"The child... it's the child... she needs to go to the Hospital! Call an ambulance!"

"

Li Beijue had also lost most of his usual composure; he held Jiang Baobao tightly and turned to run down the mountain!

Cai Xiaotang's breath hitched, and following Li Beijue's words, she subconsciously looked over, only then discovering the most glaring patch of bright red, which had already soaked Jiang Baobao's hem and was continuing to spread.

"Quick, call an ambulance!"

Cai Xiaotang also shouted at Laoqi, her heart hanging in the balance; she took two flying steps to keep up with Li Beijue, her heart in a state of panic.

How could Baobao suddenly be bleeding...

Was it because of the stimulation from the explosion just now?

And Li Xiao...

Li Xiao...

Cai Xiaotang only knew how to follow Jiang Baobao mechanically; her brain was so scrambled it had almost stopped thinking.

When the group reached the elevator, they discovered it had stopped running.

Trying to carry someone down the steep mountain slope like this was almost impossible!

And it would waste a massive amount of time!

"This... what do we do..."

Cai Xiaotang looked at the path she had run up, her face full of bewilderment, and her eyes felt a sudden, stinging ache again.

Then, she suddenly gritted her teeth and fiercely wiped her eyes with the back of her hand!

At a time like this, she couldn't just cry...

What use was crying!

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, she saw Li Beijue had already taken out his phone with the fastest speed, saying in a grim tone to the person on the other end: "Restore the backup power for the ski slope side at the fastest speed possible!"

After speaking, he cut the call directly.

The night grew darker.

Yet everyone on the mountain had almost held their breath, staring fixedly at the elevator before them.

Every second felt infinitely long.

It felt as long as a century, and finally—with a "hum"!

The elevator, which had been stalled, suddenly made a starting sound and began to move slowly!

Li Beijue immediately carried Jiang Baobao on without a word, and Cai Xiaotang hurriedly followed.

"Baobao, Baobao?"

Both of them were softly calling out to Jiang Baobao, whose eyes were tightly shut, hoping she would open them.

But Jiang Baobao still did not have the slightest reaction.

Laoqi also spoke up at this moment: "President Li, the ambulance is almost here; it will be at the entrance of the ski resort immediately!"

Li Beijue did not speak; he nodded with a dark expression and held the person in his arms even tighter.

Very quickly, the few of them ran off the elevator.

Jiang Baobao subconsciously wanted to follow Li Beijue and run toward the ambulance together.

But out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Laoqi and the others had not followed, but were instead talking to a few people who looked unfamiliar and resembled bodyguards.

She stopped in her tracks abruptly, watching with some hesitation as Li Beijue ran into the distance carrying Jiang Baobao.

The ambulance was already outside... Baobao was being taken care of by Li Beijue...

But Li Xiao was still...

No!

She had to go find Li Xiao!

Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang took one last look in the direction of Jiang Baobao, walked straight toward Laoqi and the others, and got straight to the point: "How do you plan to search for him? I'm going with you."

Laoqi and the others had already intended to set off, and seeing Cai Xiaotang arrive, they could not help but hesitate.

Laoqi, who usually had the best relationship with Cai Xiaotang, also advised: "Madam, the weather is too cold, you should still..."

"I cannot change my mind. Instead of wasting time persuading me, you'd better hurry up and find the person!"

Cai Xiaotang had no mood to listen to him finish; as she spoke, she walked directly toward the protective netting.

Someone was already there picking the lock.

The few of them had long been burning with anxiety, and seeing this, they found it hard to say anything more and immediately followed.

Going around the protective netting led to the area outside the ski resort.

The entire back mountain had never been developed, and everywhere was just a vast expanse of white.

Yet Cai Xiaotang plunged in without looking back, shouting Li Xiao's name as she walked forward.

"Li Xiao!"

"Li Xiao!!!"

The cold wind poured into her throat, stirring up a sharp pain.

But Cai Xiaotang seemed not to feel it, continuing to shout one call after another.

Until she saw something on the snow ahead that seemed to be there.

She widened her eyes abruptly and immediately ran over!
