Looking at Jiang Chen's blood-red eyes, Sun Jiayu immediately gasped and didn't dare say another word.
Having just seen someone scare off a gorilla, he knew his slight build really wasn't impressive.
"Let it go, Jiang Chen," Ye Jingyi approached, looking at Jiang Chen with concern, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Chen's expression instantly improved, and he looked at Ye Jingyi with a light laugh, shaking his head, "I'm fine."
Ye Yùwán, watching the two exchange tender glances, couldn't help but turn away, feeling a sourness in her heart. Why couldn't I have met such a good man as my brother-in-law first?
At that moment, Sun Jialin came over, disdainfully glanced at Sun Jiayu beside him, and then looked gratefully at Jiang Chen. When the gorilla pounced, he and Chen Xuefei were right behind Ye Jingyi.
Stepping forward to Jiang Chen's side, Sun Jialin expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for saving us."
"Don't mention it," Jiang Chen replied with a light laugh.
At this time, Yè Tiānmíng and Li Jiangming, seeing that the gorilla had fled, finally came back to the group, looking dejected.
"Oh, our two performance artists have returned?" Ye Yùwán took the opportunity to mock them.
The faces of Yè Tiānmíng and his companion flushed with embarrassment. But Yè Tiānmíng's eyes darted around, and he quickly changed the subject, pointing at Jiang Chen and shouting, "Jiang Chen, was that gorilla you scared off summoned by you?"
Jiang Chen scoffed, "I have a wife, no need to hire someone to dress up as a gorilla to prove my bravery."
Yè Tiānmíng and Li Jiangming's expressions changed, and they turned away, avoiding Jiang Chen's gaze.
And at this point, Sun Jialin also spoke coldly, "It's not uncommon for gorillas to be in this forest, but usually, they don't attack humans unprovoked. Under the premise of not harming them, there's only one thing that angers them; that's if outsiders enter their territory. Animals have a strong sense of territory! That gorilla was clearly drawn here by the two fake ones you had hired! So, in my opinion, you two really are idiots!"
The fake gorillas had attracted a real one, and if it weren't for Jiang Chen, he and his wife would have been in trouble. The two culprits ran faster than rabbits, so he truly despised these two fools.
Yè Tiānmíng and his companion were red-faced with Sun Jialin's words but dared not retort. That was a member of the Sun Family, whose status was much higher than theirs.
Rumble!
Just then, rain started pouring down, seeming to grow heavier by the moment.
"I know there's a cave over there; let's go play in the cave!" Yè Tiānmíng hurriedly spoke, eager to shift attention away from the gorilla incident.
Everyone agreed without further discussion, got into their vehicles, and headed for the cave.
Upon reaching the cave, everyone was delighted to find that it was spacious enough to camp inside.
"Everyone, take out what you've prepared, let's light a bonfire right here and have a bonfire party, what do you say?" Yè Tiānmíng suggested.
Li Jiang was the first to agree, "Sounds good."
"Sure!"
"Okay!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Jiang Chen, however, frowned slightly, feeling that this place seemed familiar.
But after thinking for a while, he couldn't pinpoint the key memory.
At this moment, he paced irritably around the cave, then took out his phone to check the time.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
He remembered, from the memories of a dream, that today an earthquake would strike Jinhai. It wouldn't be too severe, but the worst-hit area would be this forest, and his memory indicated that this cave would collapse.
And the time for the earthquake was fast approaching.
"This won't do; we can't stay here!" Jiang Chen said in a low voice, his expression serious, "We have to leave immediately; this place is going to collapse soon. It's very dangerous!"
Ye Tianming was stunned for a moment, then scoffed, "Get real! It's raining outside, do you expect us to stay in the car the whole time?"
"Exactly! You must have got some kind of phobia from the scare with the black gorilla!" Li Jiangming also wanted to salvage the previous awkwardness and immediately taunted as well.
Sun Jiayu looked at Jiang Chen with disdain and spoke indifferently, "We came out to have fun. We can't just go back without doing anything. This place seems pretty sturdy. Some people must be scared silly!"
"I believe in my brother-in-law!" Ye Yùwǎn expressed her support for Jiang Chen.
"Okay, Yu Wan, come with me." Jiang Chen took out his cellphone to check the time, noticed it was about time, and quickly took Ye Jingyi's hand, "Let's go."
Ye Jingyi hesitated, "Jiang Chen, this place is solid; there won't be any collapse. You must be mistaken."
Sun Jialin and the others also shook their heads slightly, thinking Jiang Chen was being overly anxious.
But Jiang Chen didn't have time to explain and shouted loudly, "Everyone, listen to me, move it, this place is really going to collapse!"
With that, he hoisted Ye Jingyi onto his shoulder and grabbed Ye Yùwǎn's hand, running towards the cave entrance at full speed.
Everyone was taken aback. Ye Tiānmíng mocked, "Ha, look at this loser; he's such a coward!"
"Yeah, and what collapse? He just doesn't want to see us having a good time," Li Jiangming sneered.
Sun Jialin looked at Jiang Chen's actions, frowned, and hesitation flashed across his eyes.
"Jiang Chen, what are you doing? How can you be like this? The cave is safe. Put me down now," Ye Jingyi, startled by Jiang Chen, screamed and hammered on his back.
Jiang Chen ignored Ye Jingyi, while running and dragging Ye Yùwǎn, he yelled back, "Run!"
"Run my ass! You run, dumbass!" Ye Tiānmíng cursed.
While holding onto Ye Yùwǎn and carrying Ye Jingyi, Jiang Chen had already made it into the rain outside the cave.
"Jiang Chen, are you crazy? It's raining; why did you come out instead of staying in the cave? What collapse? There's nothing wrong, is there?" Jiang Chen reached the vehicle and had just put Ye Jingyi down when she shouted angrily.
"Boom!"
But before Ye Jingyi's words finished, the ground shook, a strong tremor surged, and then the entrance of the cave collapsed, completely burying it under a pile of rocks.
Ye Jingyi and Ye Yùwǎn were both shocked, standing dumbstruck in front of the collapsed cave.
It really collapsed?
Isn't this too miraculous?
Both of them stared at Jiang Chen dumbfounded.
"Idiots!" Jiang Chen cursed under his breath and turned to Ye Jingyi and the other, "Go to the car and take shelter from the rain; don't come out."
After giving the instructions, Jiang Chen ran to the collapsed area and shouted toward the rubble, "Can you hear me speaking?"
"We can!" The voice of Sun Jialin came from beneath the stones.
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that only the entrance had collapsed, and the inside was still alright. After assessing the situation, he approached a large rock, shouted loudly, "Stay away from the rock wall; I am moving the stone to get you out!"
"Okay!" The voice of Sun Jialin came again.
"Move back; I'm doing it!" Jiang Chen shouted again, placed his hands on the large rock, and yelled out, "Ah!"
A fleeting crimson glow flashed across his hands.
Boom!
A rock the size of a man was pushed to the side by Jiang Chen, revealing a hole wide enough for one person.
