Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 752: Leader’s Fury

However, as soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately refuted by other comrades, saying, "Don’t talk nonsense, the lady will be protected by good fortune. Since she just called to say she arrived safely, there definitely won’t be any problems."

"How is that talking nonsense? There are a lot of wild animals in this mountain. Not to mention at the bottom of the cliff, right?"

"I believe the lady will be safe."

"Believing is one thing, the facts are another."

Seeing the warriors starting to argue, Captain Niu spoke up, saying, "Shut up, all of you. We need to pray that the lady is safe, otherwise none of us will be free of blame."

After reprimanding his subordinates, Captain Niu began to reconsider their previous suggestion. After thinking for a bit, he decided to give it a try, no matter what. To treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

So, he had someone bring him a signal receiver and threw it down the cliff. He hoped this thing could help Jiang Xue, so afterwards he sent Jiang Xue a message, then waited for her reply.

However, at this moment Jiang Xue had already entered the space, completely unaware of what was happening outside. After the phone entered the space, it also had no signal.

Therefore, Captain Niu waited half a day but still did not receive a reply from Jiang Xue. Meanwhile, the phone rang again, and he got harshly reprimanded by his superior. Captain Niu didn’t even have the chance to explain, and only after the leader stopped shouting did he say, "I’m sorry, leader, it was my fault."

"The person you should apologize to isn’t me, it’s Jiang Xue, it’s Mu Qiancheng’s parents. You haven’t considered, what if something happened to Mu Qiancheng, his wife is the pillar of their family. But look at you, just standing by while she jumped off the cliff."

"Do you think the cliff is low enough that jumping off wouldn’t be fatal?"

"Leader, I was wrong, I’m willing to accept punishment. But just now Jiang Xue called me from the bottom of the cliff, saying she arrived safely, so I should rest assured."

"Punishment, there must be punishment. No, wait a minute, what did you just say, Jiang Xue called you? Didn’t she jump off the cliff? How could she still call you?"

"No, no, what did she say, arrived safely? She’s okay?" On the other end of the phone, the leader finally sorted out the situation and then asked, "Niu Yong, you better not be lying to me. Jumped from such a high cliff and still survived?"

"Leader, rest assured, I’m not lying to you. Jiang Xue really just called me, but the signal might be bad at the bottom of the cliff, she only said one sentence before the line cut off."

"Are you really not lying to me?" The leader still found it hard to believe. Such a deep cliff, said to be at least a thousand meters deep, jumping from such a height, and still okay?

Is he dreaming?

"Leader, I’m really not lying to you. My phone shows the caller ID, would you like to see it?" Captain Niu said with all seriousness. However, he completely forgot at this moment, the leader is far away from him, even if he really has caller ID, the leader wouldn’t be able to see it.

"Alright, then keep in touch with Jiang Xue at all times, I’m going to report to the higher-ups."

"Yes!"

Captain Niu hung up the phone, then reached out to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and then called Jiang Xue again. But, still couldn’t reach her.

Seeing that it was getting dark and still having no contact with Jiang Xue, Captain Niu had no choice but to give up, and then called the warriors to have dinner.

They brought quite a lot of dry rations; for the evening it was just cookies and water. After dinner, everyone sat together, once again worried about Jiang Xue.
