Even though Nan Chen reassured Ning Ran, the latter still felt anxious.

Nevertheless, under such circumstances, being frustrated wouldn't change anything.

“You should lie down and rest properly. Do not waste energy because we don't know what will happen next,” Nan Chen reminded Ning Ran.

If Nan Chen's theory was correct, people would most probably be coming over.

However, it was uncertain when they would arrive, how many of them would there be, and who would be coming.

Moreover, he was hurt, and Ning Ran, as a weak lady, would not be able to face them off no matter how she prepared herself.

Noticing Ning Ran's anxiety, Nan Chen said, “Don't worry. I'll do my best to protect you.”

Ning Ran had always trusted the man. Despite that, she couldn't help but feel he was only consoling her at this juncture.

“I'm fine, but I'm worried about Erbao. She's still waiting for us to get a doctor to treat her, but we're trapped here now.” Ning Ran heaved a sigh.

“Erbao has been discharged from the hospital. The poison in her system is already gone. It's just that her body is weak now, and she needs plenty of rest. She'll be fine. You don't have to worry so much. As for us, since things have come to this, we can only face it head-on. It's no use panicking. Calm down. After all, it's a miracle we have escaped with our lives after falling from such a height. Don't be so pessimistic.”

Every word Nan Chen said hit the nail on the head.

Although Ning Ran couldn't be as calm and composed as him, she could only trust him and follow his lead.

As time went by slowly, the sky gradually darkened.

After what felt like forever, Ning Ran thought she heard the sounds of paddling.

She and Nan Chen stood up almost simultaneously and turned to look at the source of the sound.

They could vaguely see a small boat coming their way in the darkness.

It was a small wooden boat, and a person with a bamboo hat was sitting on it.

Something was placed on the bow of the boat, but they couldn't make out what it was.

“Look, someone is here. Do we call out to him?” Ning Ran asked.

“No, don't do that. Let's observe it for a while,” Nan Chen said quietly.

As the little boat came nearer and nearer to the bank, the person in the bamboo hat eventually spotted Nan Chen and Ning Ran. The man said something to them in a heavy local accent.

Alas, Nan Chen and Ning Ran couldn't understand what he said.

“Who's there?”

The man switched to Chinese this time, albeit sounding slightly off. Fortunately, they understood him.

Waving her arms vigorously, Ning Ran shouted, “Mister, help us!”

“What's that? Help you? Why? What are you doing there?” he asked.

“We were involved in a car accident, and we need your help!” Ning Ran replied.

The man stopped his boat at the riverside and threw the end of a rope to the bank. After getting off his boat, he tied the rope to a big rock to prevent his boat from being washed away.

Even though Nen Chen reessured Ning Ren, the letter still felt enxious.
