Chapter 381, Qiao Bao'er, Are You Afraid?

u know If you dare to scare me again next time, I'll throw you into the pond!"Lu Qin'nan's forehead ached, "Who knew you were usually so fierce and liked to overthink things so much...""I didn't overt..."Is it that serious"

As soon as the words were spoken, several managers rushed out of the manager's office in a flurry. Their faces were etched with anxiety, and they hurried along, speaking foreign languages amongst themselves.

Lu Qinan's brows furrowed together, suddenly as if he had heard some bad news.

They said that the three repair trucks sent out last night all went missing.

They speak a minority language, Romansh, and only Lu Qinan among them can understand it.

"...Some passengers were very excited when they heard the news. They didn't believe the hotel at all and were fighting over the remaining two cars in the parking lot..."

Pei Yi put down the bread in her hand, leaning against her father and raising her head nervously, "Dad, should we go grab a car"

"What shall we do then"

Zhu Xiaowei followed Pei Yi nervously, both of them watching Pei Haoran and the others. Ordinary people tend to panic more easily when they encounter emergencies.

Qiao Baoer glanced at Pei Haoran, motioning for him to stay. “I’m going out to take a look with Lu Qinian.”

If they encounter bad weather on this trip, Zhu Xiaowei and Pei Yi would definitely be the weakest in terms of constitution and need Pei Haoran to take care of them.

Joe Bao'er and Lu Qinian walked side by side to the hotel garage, where twenty or so burly men from various countries were shouting loudly, with some even angrily punching car hoods.

"Anta, you good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat, drink and play won't be able to take over this hotel. I don't believe a word you say. Now I want this car, and anyone who dares to oppose me..."

The bearded foreigner glared at the hotel manager, grabbed his car keys, flung open the car door, and shoved his wife and daughter inside. He intended to climb into the driver's seat and drive away immediately.

There are only two cars left, why does your whole family get to take one, get out! The rest of the people were very unhappy.

A car can seat 8 people.

The bearded man was extremely irritable. He revved the engine, pounded on the horn, and shouted a warning, "None of you are worthy to sit with me! Get out of my way, or I'll run you over!"

Jo Bao'er and they stood on the side watching, frowning. These people seemed to be driven mad.

The portly hotel manager tried his best to persuade them, "Since you all know the repair team went missing last night, it's even more unsafe to go out now…"

"Reinforcements from down the mountain will arrive at 2:00 PM, we just have to wait another 4 hours…"

Don't believe a word they say. I overheard in the manager's office that the repair team went missing, and they never intended to tell us. These are just ruthless scammers.

"Now there are only two cars left. If we want to leave, we have to do it now, or the hotel people will definitely secretly drive all the cars away."

They started arguing again.

Lu Qinan strolled over with an air of leisure. Qiao Baoer raised her eyebrows, wondering what he was up to. Could he also be thinking of grabbing a car like they were

"With only 2/3 of a tank of gas in both cars, and with the heavy snowstorm last night likely causing many obstacles on the road, it's very possible that one of the cars would get stuck halfway down. Perhaps we should siphon some gas from one of the cars to use as a backup and just drive down the mountain in one car."

Lu Qinan walked closer to this irritable crowd. His Romanesque was very standard, if it weren't for an Asian face, one would think he was a local.

"Wouldn't that leave us with only one car!"

The atmosphere grew even more tense, but they all knew that Lu Qinian's opinion was the most reliable. It was safer to have one car with enough spare fuel than to risk it with two cars going out on an adventure.

"If you're going to leave, take some dry food, water, and warm clothes. I would strongly advise against it for the elderly and children, and it's best to bring a satellite phone in case of an emergency so you can call for help."

Lu Qinian was socially adept, communicating with them effortlessly. As he spoke, he turned to look at a large-bearded man inside one of the cars, "The situation is urgent now, if you're going to leave, then draw lots."

Lu Qinan wouldn't interfere with their plan to leave. He just came to take a look and offer some advice.

"Yes, that's right. We'll siphon fuel from another car for backup, and we've packed food and warm clothes. The car has 8 seats, so we'll draw straws to decide. The hotel must provide us with a satellite phone."

One man with a big beard inside the car was forcefully dragged down by several people, and they were all willing to draw lots to decide.

Qiao Bao'er stood beside Lu Qinan. She didn't understand what these people were saying, but she saw them drawing lots, and the most ferocious man with a big beard seemed to have not drawn it. He roared in English, roughly meaning that he had a lot of money, and whoever was willing to let him go first, he would immediately write a check.

But no one paid him any attention.

Life is more important than money.

The wind and snow aren't bad now, and the 8 people who drew the winning tickets are eager to drive away.

The dozen or so people left in the garage watched as the car drove away. Their faces were all full of frustration, and after a barrage of curses in various languages, they dispersed.

"I thought you were going to draw lots with them." Qiao Bao'er and Lu Qinian walked at the back, their expressions relatively calm.

Lu Qinan shrugged. "You can't stop these people from leaving if they want to go. If you don't let them leave, they'll make a scene, and then everyone in the hotel will be unhappy. I'd rather wait a few more hours."

Qiao Ba'er saw his calm expression and teased, "Aren't you afraid the reinforcements will be delayed again"

"Are you afraid, Qiao Bao'er"

Lu Qinan suddenly turned his head and asked her seriously.

Qiaobaer was used to his usual unserious demeanor, so these serious eyes were a little unfamiliar.

She looked out and saw a vast expanse of white snow-capped mountains. The wind and snow had finally subsided, but the sky was overcast with a dull gray. Heavy storm clouds were gathering on the horizon, poised to unleash another torrent.

It seems like an even bigger snowstorm is about to hit.

In a strange place, encountering such frigid weather and with communication signals cut off, it's natural for people to feel anxious.

Jo Bao'er looked back at him, very calmly, "I'm not afraid."ally wanted to share Tang Yu's embarrassing story with Jun Zhi Mu, but before she could finish her words, Jun Zhi Mu became unhappy. The young master stuffed a large white towel into her hand and seri...
