My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again

An hour later, Xu Weilai showed up at the rescue team’s office.

She requested for the waiters to push the ten trolleys of food into the office room. Then, she bowed low to the rescue team’s captain and said, “Captain, I’m here to thank you and your team member for saving me and my boss yesterday. If it wasn’t for you and your team, we would be in deep trouble now. I don’t know how I could express my gratitude to all of you. So, I can just treat all of you to a feast.”

The captain quickly helped her up when he saw this. “Miss Xu, you don’t have to be so polite. This is what we’re supposed to do. It’s good to know that both of you are fine.”

He paused and looked at the trolleys of food, then thanked Xu Weilai for the gesture of gratitude, “We’ll accept this. You’re too kind.”

The captain turned towards one of his team members and said, “Go and call the others to come over. Let’s eat while it’s hot. Do not let Miss Xu’s kindness goes to waste.”

The team member nodded and went out to call the others.

Xu Weilai pursed her lips lightly and pondered for a moment before she mentioned, “Captain, I heard that there’s a member of the rescue team that found us first. Who was it? I would like to thank him personally.”

“This…” The Captain frowned and thought for a moment before he answered, “The situation last night was too chaotic. I have no idea who was the first one to have found both of you.”

As he spoke, he turned around and asked another person in his team, “Do you know who it was?”

That member too shook his head. “I didn’t notice. What about you?”

The rest of the rescue team looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating that it wasn’t them.

At this moment, the rest of the rescue team walked in. The captain shot the question towards them, “Last night, which one of you was the first to discover Miss Xu and Mr. Zuo?”

The rescue team that had just walked into the office shook their head one after another.

The captain was instantly amused. “What’s going on? You bunch of brats rushed to claim credit for your work previously. Now that you’ve done something great, you’re not coming out instead?

One of them replied, “It was probably too chaotic at that point of time that everyone didn’t know whether or not they were the first to discover both of you. I only recalled that someone shouted that both of you were found, then all of us rushed towards the direction we heard the shout came from and then got busy trying to save you and your boss, so we too did not pay attention as to who was the one to have found you first.”

After a round of questioning without an answer, the Captain looked at Xu Weilai apologetically, “Miss Xu, an apology for that. This is normal during a rescue mission as we will only think about saving people and disregard all other matters.”

Xu Weilai nodded and expressed her understanding. “It’s fine, don’t worry about that. No matter what, you people save Mr.Zuo’s life and mine. Please help yourself with the food. Thank you very much once again.”

She was about to bow again when the captain quickly stopped her. “Miss Xu, that’s enough. We would be embarrassed if you continue doing this.”

Xu Weilai gave up. “Then do go ahead and help yourself. I won’t linger around and disturb you any longer. I’ll take my leave.”

“Okay, goodbye.”

All the rescue team members raised their hands to bid her farewell. Xu Weilai smiled and nodded before walking out of the office.

Although the storm has passed, the smell of humidity still lingered in the air. Xu Weilai walked along the stone path back to the main building. A plane flew by in the sky. She subconsciously raised her head, her gaze followed the plane until it disappeared completely into the clouds.

When Xu Weilai was back in her room, she sat down with half of her back leaned against the headboard of the bed, and picked up her phone. She opened her contact list and scrolled through the list until her finger stopped at one of the numbers.
