Chen Ningxi clung to the tower, freeing one hand to wave at him. Cheng Qiaobei waved back to her.
Neither of them spoke a word, but it was more profound than a thousand words.
He told her he was there and asked her to wait for him.
Cheng Qiaobei's presence made her feel secure.
But no one expected the tower to tilt again, swept by the fierce floodwaters in the next second, shaking a few times, leaving the people on it terrified. They clung to the tower like it was a lifeline.
Lin Hanrui observed the water surface again. In less than half an hour, the water level had risen by another two meters.
"The water level is rising," he said, "We can launch the boat now."
The rescue team felt the plan was feasible and quickly gathered a few team members to help Lin Hanrui unload the boat. Even though Liang Lei was a girl, she gritted her teeth to help carry the boat to the river.
Lin Hanrui noticed, "You're not needed here, get in the car."
