Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Grandfather and Grandson

But, having agreed to meet at the mountain summit, where was Xiao Yue?

"Has Xiao Yue arrived?" Qin Anyu looked around; the place indeed resembled the rooms of a hostel, with just a simple bed and table, and then nothing else.

"No." Chu Hong took advantage of her silence to add: "Maybe they didn’t make it to the summit."

"That’s impossible." Qin Anyu shook her head. "They definitely came; you’re lying to me."

Qin Anyu stood up and searched the place thoroughly, from upstairs to downstairs, but found no trace of Tang Yue. She exclaimed anxiously, "How could she not be here!"

"I never saw them at all. Perhaps they never even came up to the summit?" Chu Hong’s response was confident, deep down, he hoped that Tang Yue and her party wouldn’t make it to the summit and that he could have a quiet time with Qin Anyu.

In the evening, Chu Hong specifically asked the staff and indeed received no news of Tang Yue. At that time, he only felt happy and didn’t think too deeply about it.

"That’s impossible." Qin Anyu stared at Chu Hong and asked, "Are you lying to me? Did you actually not leave a message for them?"

"No." Seeing her disbelief, Chu Hong pulled her out to confront the staff.

What the staff member said made Qin Anyu have no choice but to believe them. The employee was a middle-aged woman who seemed exceptionally trustworthy, and she wouldn’t likely deceive her.

Does that mean Xiao Yue really didn’t make it to the summit?

A sense of unease surged in Qin Anyu’s heart: "Could Xiao Yue have met with an accident? No, I must go down the mountain, I need to make a call."

"This is the summit, where would you find a phone?" consoled Chu Hong: "Maybe they felt tired and didn’t climb up to the summit..."

Even as he spoke, Chu Hong himself felt uneasy towards the end.

What kind of person Tang Yue was, he didn’t know, but Mo Siyu’s character was very clear to him - straightforward and reliable; since Tang Yue promised Qin Anyu she would come to the summit, logically, she shouldn’t stand her up...

"That’s impossible. Xiao Yue has never failed to keep a promise, something must have happened." Qin Anyu was restless, looking into the vast darkness. The evening summit was quiet without the noise of tourists, and the evening breeze made it even eerier.

"Anyu, don’t scare yourself," Chu Hong tried to comfort her.

Qin Anyu shook her head: "You don’t understand, if nothing had happened, Xiao Yue would never have broken her promise."

"Can’t we really go down the mountain?" Qin Anyu looked at Chu Hong, asking for his opinion. She didn’t blame Chu Hong; she only blamed herself for indulging in food and later falling asleep. If she hadn’t, she would have noticed sooner that something was amiss.

Qin Anyu was filled with self-reproach and guilt.

Chu Hong saw clearly; he looked towards the staff member, who hurriedly said: "Although Yan Mountain is not a dangerous place and is a scenic site, it’s still very easy to encounter danger when descending at night, and look, it’s even started to rain outside."

Following the staff member’s words, Qin Anyu realized that a light rain had started to drift from the sky at some unknown time.

"Do you have a phone here?" Qin Anyu asked, clutching at her last hope.

The staff member shook her head: "Sorry, this is the summit, and phone lines can’t be installed up here; there’s no signal."

"Sigh." Qin Anyu’s spirit drooped as if she were a frost-stricken eggplant, the thought of Tang Yue encountering some unknown trouble making her more agitated.

Chu Hong stepped forward to comfort her: "Anyu, Xiao Yue has Bai Qing with her, and Bai Qing is quite capable, right?"

"Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong. One of Xiao Yue’s classmates had a little mishap, and Xiao Yue is at the hospital. She might not come back today." Wei Jiajia explained. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
