At the moment, Venus Mu was trapped in the storage shelf, with broken glass, water and all kinds of
bottles and cans over the floor.
“Venus!” Kerry Ye shouted. He wanted to go in to save her, but it was as if there were mountains and
rivers between them.
Meiling He was at the door evacuating people and when the last person went out, she heard Kerry call
“Venus”, which made her doubtful. But it was clearly Yan Chu in there, so why did Mr. Ye call “Venus”?
Without any hesitation, Meiling ran in the direction of the tea room. She was the manager of the design
department, so she couldn’t leave anyone behind.
Kerry pushed away the chairs and desks in front of him, but the hardest part was to move the storage
shelves.
“Mr. Ye, let me help you.”
Kerry looked back, finding it was Meiling, who was now with messy hair. If it was another situation, a
situation that Venus hadn’t been trapped, he would definitely have let her go first, but now, he really
needed her help.
“Thank you.” Kerry said gratefully to her, “Be careful, you pull on this side and I’ll push from that side.”
“OK. Be careful, too.”
Stepping on the glass pieces on the ground, he came to one side of the storage shelf, bending down.
The space was very small, only enough for him to stand, so he tried different angles. Finally, he said to
Meiling,
“When I count one, two, three, you do it, alright?”
“Got it.” She gripped the edge of the storage shelf tightly.
“One, two, three!”
Kerry and Meiling exerted almost all their strength, one pushing and one pulling, but the storage shelf
was only moved a little bit, because it stuck between two walls.
“Again. One, two, three!”
Repeating several times, they saw a little part of Venus’ s body.
“Okay, Okay. Thank you so much.” Kerry sincerely thanked Meiling who was already sweaty, “Hurry
downstairs.”
Meiling wiped the sweat from her forehead, knowing that her mission had been accomplished, and
said, “Mr. Ye, please carry Miss Chu out. I’m leaving first.”
“OK, be careful when you go downstairs.” Kerry said, bending down and walking to Venus. She closed
her eyes tightly, whose forehead was swollen and red, so it was obvious that something had hit her
head.
Kerry anxiously called out, “Venus, wake up.”
However, she didn’t answer Kerry. Therefore, Kerry did not dare to waste any more time. With one
hand on her back, the other hand holding up the legs, he bent down to move out.
When they were just out of the storage shelf, another wave of aftershocks hit. Kerry didn’t stand still, so
he kneeled down to the ground all of a sudden. But he was still holding her in from of his chest.
“Boom!” The storage shelf that had just been moved by him broke off from the middle and hit the
ground heavily, splashing water and pieces of glass.
“It’s okay, it’s fine. Venus, don’t be afraid. I’m here with you, don’t be afraid.” Kerry held her tightly while
talking to her with his subconsciously shaking lips. He turned his body slightly to block the water and
glass behind him.
This was what he said to Venus, but also himself.
The ground was once again stable, so Kerry stood up with great efforts, holding her in his arms as he
continued to get out of here.
Finally, with a lot of effort, Kerry left the tea room with Venus.
“Venus, Venus, wake up.” His worry and concern could be sensed from his voice.
This time, Venus seemed to hear his call and gave a “hum” with all her strength, but this cheered Kerry
up, making him ecstatic. She was still alive.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll get you out of here, don’t be afraid.” Kerry kissed her forehead several times, then
wrapped both her arms around his chest and ran towards the outside with her steadily on his back.
The design department in the nineteenth floor of Yehuang Building. Since the elevator couldn’t be
used, Kerry had no choice but to go down by foot. People passing them all ran quickly. The aftershocks
were still there, making the atmosphere tense and scary, but Kerry never thought to leave her behind. If
he had to die in this disaster, he wanted to be with her.
One floor, after another.
Kerry was getting more and more tired, with his energy releasing. Kerry hit the wall several times and
fell to his knees, but he was trying to protect his woman and made sure she was safe and sound.
The unconscious Venus could feel the bumps along the way and she weakly opened her eyes, only to
see the man’s red and hot earlobes, wheat-colored skin, and sweat on his neck.
She smelled the familiar scent of his body and felt safe somehow, and a voice inside her told her that
Kerry would not leave her alone.
“Kerry…” She called out weakly.
The man carrying her stopped with a violent stiffness and quickly placed her on the stairs, whose eyes
were bright as the stars in the sky.
“Venus, thanks God you’re awake.” Kerry was surprised to hear her call his name.
But Venus didn’t feel anything wrong, probably because her brain was still in a mess. She frowned and
said, “I have a headache.”
Kerry carefully rubbed her injured forehead with his hand and comforted her, “It’s fine, something might
hit you.”
Venus tried to touch her forehead, but she didn’t have any strength on her hand at all.
At that moment, another wave of strong aftershocks hit, and Kerry subconsciously grabbed her in his
arms and stared at the ground tilting little by little.
Venus’s eyes were a little sore, and when he released her, she couldn’t help but ask softly, “Kerry, will
we die here?”
“No, I won’t let you die, neither of us will. You hold on, think about the baby, he’s still waiting for us.”
Venus began to be clear. Hearing his words, she froze… How could he…
Kerry held her face and said with deep affection, “I know it’s you, I always knew it was you, but we’ll
talk about this later. I’ll take you out of here first, no one knows if there will be a stronger earthquake
next second.”
After saying that, Kerry once again carried her up and went down with firm footsteps.
On his back, Venus completely went blank. She thought she had been hiding it well, so where did she
expose herself? And when did he know?
By the time Kerry was sweaty all over. He finally carried her out of the building.
The street was in a chaos and traffic had paralyzed. Billboards were all over. There were some injured
and fainted people and crying children.
In just a few minutes, what was originally the most prosperous place in Sky City was like hell.
“Young master!” Henry called out and ran over to him. He didn’t know what had scratched him and the
blood had drenched his shirt. It was quite terrifying.
“Young master, you’ve finally come out. I was about to go in to find you.” Henry said with palpitations,
looking at Venus who had already in a coma.
“I’m fine.”
Henry focused on his leg and said worriedly, “Young master, what happened to your knee? Why is it
bleeding?”
Kerry took a look at it, finding it was there was a blood stain on his light-color pants. Maybe he kneeled
down on the glassed when he was rescuing Venus. The whole time his attention was all attached to
Venus and he didn’t feel the pain. It was until now that he began to feel the pain was spreading.
“It should be glass. Don’t worry, it’s fine.” Kerry asked with a very flat expression, “The car can’t get out
now, right?”
“Yes, it’s all blocked.”
“Where are the others?!” Kerry asked.
Henry pointed to a square not far away and said, “It’s all over there.”
“Come on, let’s go over there too.” Kerry carried Venus to the square. Henry saw that he was struggling
and wanted to say that he was willing to help to carry her, but with his knowledge of his boss, he
wouldn’t agree with this.
The square was already packed with people. Some were talking on the phone, some were crying, and
others were complaining.
Yehuang’ s employees saw their boss coming over, they all came to him, who were all in a terrible
mess.
Kerry put Venus down, putting her arms around her, and circling her into his arms without any
embarrassment.
“Every department now immediately count the staff number to see if anyone is missing.” Kerry gave the
order.
Secretary Liu said, “When you haven’t come just now, we’ve already counted it and there are still four
people missing. An elder lady in the logistics department, a young girl in the finance department, and
two in the marketing department.”
“Can you get through on the phone?” Kerry asked.
“No, the phone service is very poor right now and it’s impossible to make a call.”
Kerry thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Logistics, Finance and Marketing, where are the
managers of the three departments?”
“Here…Here…” The three men stepped forward.
Kerry said seriously, “The employees are trapped inside and we can’t just stand by, so are you willing
to go in and bring them out? Of course, it’s voluntary. Because no one can guarantee what will happen
later.”
They hesitated for a moment and said, “Yes! Let’s go.”
“Thank you very much!” Kerry then said to the manager of the security department, “Your department’s
employees are all selected through hard test, who have a good physical condition. Go and ask who
would like to go in and rescue them.”
“OK. Mr. Ye.”
Soon, the security department came over with fifteen strong security guards, making Kerry pleased. It
seemed that his reputation was not too bad.
“Now there are four people trapped inside. Managers of the logistics and finance departments, you
each bring four security guards up to look for them. remember, be careful.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Ye. We will definitely bring them out successfully.” The two managers left in a hurry
with some guards.
