After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 518 Together They Fell Down the Valley

Gu Zhiyao's body stiffened further, then a tremor ran through her as she instinctively felt a strong longing and dependence on this sudden embrace.

She guessed that perhaps it was because, in this situation, amidst her anxiety and panic about Yifei's unknown whereabouts, his appearance calmed her down considerably.

Then, she choked up unconsciously, "Yifei came to inspect the area and encountered a mudslide. He's missing now. He Yi, can you save him? Will you come with me to save him?"

He Yi froze for a moment, then grabbed her shoulders and gently pulled her away from his embrace, gazing at her intently.

“The staff said it was dangerous, and since I’m pregnant, they wouldn’t let me get close. But I’m really worried and I really want to find Yifei. I always feel like I can find him, so will you come with me?” Gu Zhiyao continued crying.

He's like a little child.

Perhaps even she herself is unaware of her current state.

Seeing this, He Yi felt excited and moved, and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Gu Zhiyao was delighted, "Then let's go now."

"Go now? But..." He Yi cleared his mind a little, looked at her abdomen, and asked, "Are you sure the baby is okay? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere? You need to tell me the truth."

"No, although I got a little wet in the rain, I dried myself off and drank some ginger soup. I'm fine. Baby has always been very strong." Gu Zhiyao reached out and touched her belly, then pleaded with him pitifully, "He Yi, let's go quickly. If Yifei is really in danger, we must find him as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in increasing danger in this terrible weather."

At that moment, she was so gentle and calm that it was incredibly touching.

He Yi stopped thinking about it and took her hand as they walked forward, saying, "Then remember to listen to my instructions and don't run away on your own. Also, stay close to me and stay by my side. I will arrange and handle the rest."

"Yes, I know, I'll listen to you," Gu Zhiyao replied immediately.

He Yi smiled slightly, looked at her with eyes full of love, and tightened his grip on her hand.

Behind him, Quan Xinyu watched all of this silently, feeling a deep sense of melancholy.

He never expected things to turn out this way.

After all, there had been too many unpleasant things between Gu Zhiyao and President He in the past. Even though Gu Zhiyao was not so resistant to President He recently and no longer confronted him every time, she was still not as affectionate and docile as she is now, like a child, and did not hide her dependence on President He at all.

This is quite reassuring.

However, rationally speaking, Quan Xinyu absolutely does not agree with this.

Because it's too dangerous.

It's still raining, and the surrounding environment is unfamiliar, which is very dangerous. President He actually let Gu Zhiyao have her way. It seems that President He was also touched by Gu Zhiyao's rare reaction, so much so that he forgot about his own ideas.

Hey!

Quan Xinyu sighed and had no choice but to follow suit without delay.

Soon, they arrived at the rescue site.

Everyone was surprised to see Gu Zhiyao. Sun Yang walked straight up to her and said, "Sister-in-law, didn't we tell you to wait for news at the village committee? Why did you still come here? You're really..."

“This is Yifei’s uncle. He came here specifically to find Yifei, and he will take good care of me,” Gu Zhiyao said, pointing to He Yi beside her.

After hearing this, everyone looked at He Yi and then nodded politely in greeting.

He Yi quickly said "Thank you for your hard work" to them, and then asked about the situation.

Everyone's attention shifted away from Gu Zhiyao for the time being, and they gave He Yi a serious briefing, their moods extremely heavy.

He Yi felt a heavy weight in his heart. He looked at Gu Zhiyao and asked everyone to continue the rescue and search. He then led Gu Zhiyao to another large umbrella nearby.

Gu Zhiyao looked anxious and couldn't help but ask him again, "When are we going to find Yifei?"

He Yi glanced at the thick rain and gently coaxed her, "It's still raining now, let's wait for it to stop. Besides, the team has been working on the rescue, let's wait for news first?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyao's pretty face instantly darkened, and then she said, "But I still want to go find him myself. I have a feeling I can find him! The rescue team has been searching for so long without any news. Who knows how much longer we'll have to wait? He Yi, I can't count on them anymore!"

Uh—Quan Xinyu, who was listening to these words from the side, immediately felt a pang of sadness.

What kind of talk is this?

He simply assumed that Gu Zhiyao was too impatient, which caused her to be confused and unable to think clearly.

Fortunately, President He did not act out. Although Gu Zhiyao kept insisting on going to find him herself, He Yi still firmly opposed it.

He held Gu Zhiyao's hand tightly, continuing to comfort her, "I'll take you there as soon as the rain stops. Be good, listen to me. You need to ensure your own safety first. Otherwise, if something happens to you, not only will you not be able to save Yifei, but another person will be in danger, causing worry. It's not worth it, right?"

Gu Zhiyao stared at him intently, then pouted her little lips.

He Yi smiled and squeezed her hand, glancing at her belly before continuing, "The baby is scared too, and she's probably trying to persuade you not to go. But she's too young to tell you."

Uh—Gu Zhiyao's heart skipped a beat, and she fell silent.

Then, until the rain stopped.

She then immediately gave instructions to He Yi.

He Yi smiled helplessly, "Alright, I'll show you around."

"President He!" Quan Xinyu couldn't help but call out.

“Assistant Quan, why don’t you come with us too? It’ll be easier to take care of things if there’s another person,” He Yi said.

Quan Xinyu looked back and forth between himself and Gu Zhiyao, thinking that this was something that couldn't be changed, and that it would be more helpful for him to follow along.

The three of them then began to walk along the hilltop.

This place is already a desolate wilderness with difficult roads, and with the recent rain, it's really dangerous.

Quan Xinyu is afraid to take even one step at a time.

But Gu Zhiyao seemed completely oblivious, looking around as she walked, constantly calling Yifei's name. When she spotted a secluded spot, she would quickly run over to see if she could find Yifei there.

He Yi's attention was entirely on her; he remained vigilant and protective of her at all times.

Unfortunately, he was still careless.

On a certain hilltop, Gu Zhiyao slipped in her haste and tumbled down the hill.

He Yi's expression changed drastically as he watched her roll down the slope, wondering if he wanted to jump down after her.

Ah!

A piercing scream echoed through the desolate mountains.

When Quan Xinyu arrived, he saw two figures that had rolled halfway down the mountainside, gradually sinking further and further away from him, until they finally disappeared completely from his sight.

"President He!"

"Gu Zhiyao!"

Quan Xinyu's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with fear, and he shouted out in a stern voice.
