Chapter 286 - 287 Your Excellency, You Can’t
Di Mingzhe’s expression tightened, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks, turning to Di Mingjue and said, "You find someone immediately, I’ll go there first to see."
"Okay." Di Mingjue nodded, not having the time to ask any further questions at this moment.
Di Mingzhe strode off briskly. Di Xiaxia could not impact his heart as much as Gu Qibao did.
However, she was also important.
After all, they had twenty years of brotherly and sisterly bond, which was unquestionably genuine.
Looking at Di Mingjue’s retreating figure, Di Mingzhe’s handsome eyebrows tightened even more as he turned his head, barked a command, "Lead the way forward."
The bodyguard didn’t dare to hesitate, leading Di Mingzhe forth hastily. But, why did it feel like Di Mingzhe was moving even faster than him?
It wasn’t a particularly high mountain and the journey wasn’t especially rough either.
Despite this, the bodyguard was still panting with exhaustion and sweating by the time they reached the top of the mountain, while Di Mingzhe remained relatively unmoved.
He surveyed the distance with his deep, dark eyes and calmly asked, "How much longer?"
"It’s right ahead." The bodyguard pointed and immediately led the way forward.
It turns out that there were sights to behold at the top of the mountain: a clear small pond, a cliff across it, and another small mountain across the cliff.
Di Mingzhe saw a group of young men and women huddled at the edge of a cliff on the top of another hill, wanting to descend but not daring to do so.
Frowning, he sprinted over quickly.
The group of young men and women, seeing him approach, shouted urgently, "Buddy, Xiaxia fell down, quickly go save her."
The look on Di Mingzhe’s face was terrible as he coldly assessed this group of flashily dressed, and audacious young men and women.
Under his icy gaze, these young men and women were actually scared into silence.
There was another bodyguard standing at the edge of the cliff, seemingly trying to find a way down, but to no avail.
"What happened?" Di Mingzhe asked calmly, while swiftly taking off his blazer and rolling up the sleeves of his shirt.
"Vice President, you can’t--" A nearby bodyguard hastily tried to stop him.
"Save your breath." Di Mingzhe cast the bodyguard a cool glance before heading to the edge of the cliff.
The bodyguard standing at the edge of the cliff turned to address him, "Sir, this is a creviced cliff. Miss Xiaxia slipped when she was trying to cross the cliff, perhaps due to inadequate power of the skateboard. I’m afraid... "
Di Mingzhe’s face turned as cold as a winter snowstorm. He quickly strode to the edge of the cliff and peered down. The sight made his face turn even more frigid.
The cliff appeared exceedingly steep, and because it was located between two mountains, it had a wide top and a narrow bottom. Looking down, it was impossible to see the bottom, only darkness. The top provided no clue of the situation down below.
The area was overgrown with weeds and dotted with strangely shaped rocks. Dense tree branches added to the unfavorable circumstances.
Given the vertical drop of the cliff, even the foothold was not available for a descent. It was simply impossible to climb down from the edge of the cliff.
What was most crucial was that no cries for help were coming from below the cliff, suggesting a possibility that Di Xiaxia had fainted.
She was dressed so scantily in this hot summer!
"Di Xiaxia!" Di Mingzhe suddenly called out, his voice icy and somewhat hoarse, "If you hear me, reply with ’Big Brother.’"
But still, no sound came from the bottom of the cliff.
Di Mingzhe’s heart began to pound fiercely, and he dropped to a crouch, attempting to slide down.
"Sir, you can’t!" The bodyguard swiftly grabbed him, a stern look on his face, "Absolutely not. Please wait a moment for the rescue team to arrive."
