After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

China has prepared a large amount of manpower and resources to rescue the trapped people.

However, due to a landslide, only a narrow entrance remained, making it impossible to transport equipment or supplies in.

The only way to get in was by people carefully squeezing in little by little on bamboo rafts.

The rescue operation was proceeding with great difficulty, as the weather grew darker and darker. In this era of limited lighting, the only way to dispel the darkness was through the faint light of a few candles.

The increasingly heavy rain made the rescue work extremely difficult.

At first, they could send one person out every ten minutes, but now, twenty hours after the rescuers left, there's still no sign of them.

The foreigners present were inevitably anxious. By this time, the flood had completely submerged the first floor and reached the second floor. They all stood on higher ground to ensure that they would not be flooded.

A male reporter finally couldn't hold back and stepped forward to question Shen Lu.

"What's going on here? Is the mortality rate really that low among Chinese people? If this continues, we'll all die here!"

Shen Lu knew that as a reporter, coming to a foreign country only to encounter such a dangerous situation, she could understand the reporter's grievances.

The most important thing now is to soothe his emotions, so Shen Lu did not show any grievance when faced with his questioning.

Instead, she calmly soothed his emotions.

"Even if there is any danger today, countless Chinese soldiers are behind you. Please trust us."

Shen Lu's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated powerfully throughout the space.

Because she spoke in English, most soldiers couldn't understand her.

Without much thought, Gu Xiao simply gave her a deep look.

The water level on the second floor was already half a person high.

Finally, the army that had come to pick them up arrived.

The military explained, "We originally planned to transport them one by one, but that was too inefficient, so we sent people to find rubber boats that can hold ten people at a time. We're confident we can transport the remaining thirty-odd foreign journalists in three or four trips."

Things were moving in a positive direction, and Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

He had seen a lot in his life, but such life-threatening situations were rare, so he was somewhat uneasy.

Knowing it might not be her imagination, Commander Gu felt somewhat at ease when he was by her side.

The first group of people were successfully taken away.

Less than half an hour later, the rubber boat returned to pick up the second group of people.

Following the principle of "ladies first," everyone allowed the ladies to leave first.

In the end, besides Shen Lu and Gu Xiao, only one female reporter and three male reporters remained on the field.

At that moment, the female reporter recognized her immediately.

He stepped forward and greeted Shen Lu warmly.

"Hello! I interviewed the general the other day, and you were the translator, do you remember?"

Shen Lu might not recognize someone else, but she definitely knew this person.

This person was the female reporter who had joked about her and Commander Gu. Luckily, Commander Gu didn't understand. If he had known what she was saying, he would have been extremely embarrassed.

Shen Lu greeted the other person with a smile. In this oppressive environment, it was better to have someone to talk to.

Commander Gu was guarding the area with a serious expression, so she couldn't speak rashly.

However, she couldn't simply ignore the female reporter who initiated the conversation.

The two chatted warmly.

The woman introduced herself as Natasha, from Russia, and Shen Lu could roughly guess her identity from her Russian.

Shen Lu introduced herself as Shen Lu.

She expressed her shock at what the Minister of Finance had approached Shen Lu to discuss a few days earlier.

"It was because Alexander liked the books I translated that he came up to me and started a conversation."

The woman spoke with an excited expression.

"Alexander is a national idol in our country. The books he likes must be very interesting. Can you tell me the titles? I want to read them when I get back. You're amazing, Deer."

Shen Lu smiled and nodded: "The book itself is very profound. I am just its translator. Alexander just thinks my translation is good."

"My recent trip to China has made me very interested in the country. I will also study your translations when I get back to deepen my understanding of the Chinese language."

Shen Lu nodded with a smile.

This time the wait was longer than last time.

The longer the wait, the more anxious everyone present became.

The male reporters were even discussing swimming away from there.

It took more than an hour for the boat to arrive.

The adjutant shouted to them in the pouring rain.

"The rubber boat was torn apart by the rocks next to the mountain, leaving only the wooden raft. This large wooden raft can carry four people."

There were four people, but there were six people present.

They were the four reporters, three men and one woman, as well as Shen Lu and Gu Xiao.

The three men were still trying to accommodate each other, saying that the ladies should go first and that Shen Lu should go first.

"No need, you can leave now. The next ship will arrive soon."

Shen Lu herself wasn't sure at the time; the rain was already up to a person's chest, and they could barely stand on the table.

However, they absolutely could not afford to lose any of these foreign journalists, so they had no choice but to let them go first.

The adjutant also told Gu Xiao to go first, while he and another person would stay here and wait for rescue.

"Commander Gu, you should go first. Your life is more important than mine. So many people are waiting to follow your orders. You must not make any mistakes."

Gu Xiao did not make any move; he remained in place and continued to speak.

"Human life is equally important. You can leave now."

While the three foreign friends were still holding on, a loud crash came from not far away, and the guild hall collapsed under the impact of the raging flood.

Shen Lu didn't care about anything else and pushed the person out.

Logically speaking, it's impossible for a weak woman like her to push three adult men.

However, in the water, Shen Lu could push a person several meters away with a gentle push.

"Hurry up and go."

The three foreign friends are still chattering away, speaking English and trying to switch back to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu simply didn't have the energy to explain.

"Now is not the time to hesitate. Whoever gets on the boat should leave. The most important thing now is to get the next raft in."

Gu Xiao spoke fluent English, successfully silencing the three people.

The adjutant gave his commander a deep look, then rowed without hesitation.

If he's even a fraction faster, he can get back to rescue the commander much sooner.

After the four people left, the surrounding air fell into an endless silence, the sound of the walls continued, and the ripples in the water grew larger and larger.

Shen Lu's anxiety deepened. She tried her best to comfort herself, thinking that she had already died once, so what was there to panic about in the face of this threat?

Suddenly, something occurred to her.

If Commander Gu can speak English so fluently, then he must be able to understand English. If he can both speak and understand English, then what is the point of having me as a translator?

That makes sense, given Commander Gu's high position; he certainly couldn't be without his own personal translator.

Shen Lu thought this way of thinking made perfect sense.

but.

Shen Lu thought of something else: if Gu Xiao could understand, then did Commander Gu also overhear what that woman said to her that day?

Shen Lu recalled what the woman had said that day.

She praised them enthusiastically, and then spoke.

"The two have excellent temperaments and look very well-matched standing together, like a loving couple with great understanding."

Shen Lu couldn't help but widen her pupils in shock.

Did Commander Gu hear all of this and understand it?
