Chapter 1235: Chapter 1262: On the Brink of Disaster 14

Jian Xiong looked at Shi Nuan and said, "Nuannuan, don’t be nervous, we are all your family. If you feel it’s too fast, we can slow down and talk later."

Shi Nuan recognized the person before her as the Leader of Hua Country, the board member in power, a big figure she could only see on newspapers and TV.

Such an authoritative leader, yet in front of her, he lowered his stance, cautiously.

The affection and indulgence in his tone weren’t fake; it was the familial love she always longed for but seemed unattainable.

This had been her dream since she was little, but at this moment, she didn’t feel happy at all.

If the price of finding her family was losing Chu Zhan, she’d rather be an orphan for life.

At this time, the rescue team members inside the building started evacuating. The rescue captain walked at the front; in just a few minutes of rescue, these members were already in a sorry state, some even burned by the fire.

Shi Nuan saw them coming out and thought Chu Zhan had been rescued, but when she stood up to look, she found out they didn’t bring Chu Zhan out at all.

"Where is the person inside?" Jian Xiong glanced at Shi Nuan and asked with a frown. On the way here, he already understood the relationship between Shi Nuan and Chu Zhan and knew that if it weren’t for Chu Zhan, Shi Nuan would have faced great danger. Given the current situation,

If Chu Zhan couldn’t be rescued, he feared the granddaughter he just found would also leave.

Despite Shi Nuan praying and pleading in her heart, the rescue captain still delivered the fatal blow, "Leader, we’ve done our best, but the fire inside is too intense, blocking both the upper and lower floors. The passage is full of pillars; we can’t get in. We can only wait for the excavation team to come and dredge the passage using excavation machines..."

He didn’t say the rest, but everyone understood that while this might extinguish the fire, excavation takes time.

By the time the passage is cleared, anyone inside would have already been burned to death, with no chance of rescue.

Understanding this, Jian Xiong was troubled and hesitated, not even daring to see what expression might appear on Shi Nuan’s face.

"No, it can’t be."

Shi Nuan said loudly, stepping forward to grab the rescue captain’s hand, "I beg you, save Chu Zhan, he can’t wait, he won’t make it!"

The rescue captain was also troubled, "Miss, we really can’t get inside, we can only request support."

"Not good, captain!" At this time, another rescue member ran out, looking terrified. "The second floor has collapsed; the people inside are buried, and we can’t get them out!"

With these words, there was a rumble, and everyone saw the high-rise basement building sink several meters, making the scene particularly dangerous.

Shi Nuan stared blankly ahead, her mind instantly blank. She looked at the building still engulfed in flames and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

No, it can’t be, Chu Zhan can’t be dead, how could Chu Zhan die?

Nianyang heard Shi Nuan’s screams and couldn’t sit still in the car. She put on a mask and rushed out, and after a few steps, she saw Shi Nuan frantically, teetering but running towards the blazing fire.

She shouted Nuannuan, but Shi Nuan didn’t turn back, her face filled with desolate despair, crying as she ran.

In her mind, like a movie, images of Chu Zhan flashed continuously.

From when they first met, when he always gave that mischievous smirk, teasingly calling himself ’Instructor Chu.’

And later, when he fell in love with her, the way he looked when he confessed to her.

And during water training, how he gently and patiently helped her overcome her fears.
