Chapter 216 - Safe and Sound
Chapter 216: Safe and Sound
Qin Xuan could barely contain his nervousness. He noticed that Mo Li was at a very dangerous position too. One wrong move and she’d fall down with the car.
“Don’t worry, I’m a doctor. I’ll be fine.” Seeing the worry on Qin Xuan’s face, Mo Li comforted him. She tried to look calm because she knew that being nervous wasn’t going to help.
Qin Xuan nodded with renewed confidence. He gave her a thumbs up and then moved backwards little by little. Eventually he reached the men who had lined up near the bus. He handed them the safety rope which had been tied from both ropes and then had them pass it down the line. Qin Xuan said, “Guys, we do not have anything to anchor the weight of the car but ourselves, so remember to hold on tight to the rope!”
“Okay!”
“No problem!”
“Leave it to us!”
At this moment, everyone did see a glimmer of hope. Even though they couldn’t understand the pictures Mo Li drew, for some reason, they started to really have faith in this little girl.
A few of them shouted as cheers, including the young man who talked back to Mo Li earlier. Now, his eyes that looked at Mo Li shone with admiration.
Back at the base, Lin Mu and Lin Qi sweated nervously for Mo Li. Lin Qi prayed that nothing would happen, he didn’t want to lose the Lu Family’s daughter and more importantly, his potential granddaughter in law.
…
If my calculation is right, this tree right here should be sturdiest, it will help balance the weight of the car after the 3 nurses at the back get out.
“Okay, the nurses closest the backseat doors, I need you to come out first. Everyone, you must be careful not to lean too forward. Try to move with your body as low to the ground as possible. When you come out from the car, you’ll feel a tug from the rope around your waist. Do not be frightened by it. It might be painful.
“And the nurse in the passenger seat, see if you can move to the driver’s seat because the tire on your side has dipped lower. Do not look down and move gently… Doctor Lu Qin, you’re in the driver’s seat so the weight of the balance is on you. I need you to listen to me carefully. After all 3 nurses from the backseat get out, I need you to lower your seat and then move out from the backdoor.”
“Ah! The car just rocked!” The nurse at the passenger seat screamed in fear.
“Ignore that. Focus on yourself. If you don’t want to die, then move!” Mo Li shouted. She was under great pressure. This is such a crucial moment, why do these people refuse to listen to orders?!
Based on her calculation, only by having the nurses on both ends of the car move at the same time that the balance wouldn’t be affected. Everyone inside the car had the safety rope tied around their waist, and that shared their weight.
Qin Xuan swallowed nervously when he saw this. The car rocked dangerously from the movement.
The young nurses in the backseat shuffled out like frightened chicks. One by one, Mo Li grabbed them and helped them move away from the car.
Lu Qin also got out safely. Now only the nurse who was in the passenger seat was left in the car. Things were going smoothly, the nurse had half of her body out when the car suddenly tipped forward. The nurse screamed loudly.
Suddenly dust burst into the air as the car careened down the cliff. Mo Li could see nothing but yellow dust. Qin Xuan pulled on the rope on instinct. Lu Qin who was saved, also quickly stood up to pull on the rope. Everyone gave a final yank.
The last nurse was yanked out from the car at the last minute. The tears fell from her eyes. She almost died. The car crashed noisily down the cliff but thankfully no one died.
Lin Qi sighed in relief. This girl is truly something else.
The people who were rescued shook Mo Li’s hands in appreciation. Even Lu Qin gave Mo Li a sincere thank you. This was the first time Mo Li experienced so many people thanking her, because normally she worked with people who didn’t know how to speak.
Lin Qi set up a safe point not far away for everyone to settle down and for their injury to be examined. Finally after everyone departed, Mo Li found her peace and quiet again. The weight in her heart was lifted.
Mo Li was about to end the call with Lin Qi when to her surprise, Lu Qin asked to have the walkie-talkie. Mo Li handed it to her and Lu Qin said, “Uncle Lin, help me contact Doctor Ma, I have something to tell him.”
Doctor Ma? Ma Ming? Lu Qin’s best friend from childhood?
Based on Mo Li’s memory, the man was currently 34 years old, he was a thoracic surgeon. His technique was accurate and he was very capable. He became a professor assistant when he 20 and he became a specialist at the young age of 28.
However, due to his less than stellar family background, he was denied professorship. But thanks to his accidental participation in a tv program, he met Lu Qin and gained some popularity with the public.

Back at the site, the rain had stopped and the sky cleared. A rainbow hung in the sky. Amidst the green hills, there were also many brilliant colors. The scenery was to die for.
