Chapter 384: The Wind and Snow Are Cold, but People's H

ily trusting outsiders."You didn't even tell me about your divorce last time, I only saw it on TV..." A faint retort came from the other end of the phone."I'm afraid you'll get angry and it'll affect..."Please use manpower to manually pull us down the mountain!"

The man with the big beard was probably used to the cold weather. He was rather burly and, in a loud voice, directed Qiao Bao'er and the others back to the cable room to manually start the winch. They pulled the cable car back by hand.

Lu Qinian really wanted to curse.

For God's sake, are you still thinking about going down the mountain at this time The cable car is still a long way from the downhill path. Expecting them to pull such a massive cable box down by manpower is like asking them to be your servants!

"One more word from you and you'll freeze to death here!" Lu Qinian spat back through gritted teeth.

Qiao Bao'er and Lu Qinian looked at each other, then quickened their pace toward the cable room.

And at that moment, Antara hung suspended in mid-air, the last satellite phone left from the hotel clutched in her hand.

He looked panicked, his fingers seemed frozen stiff. He struggled to pull out a satellite phone from his backpack, hoping to call for help. But a gust of wind and snow swept through, the cable car swayed violently, and he lost his grip. The black satellite phone plummeted straight down, disappearing into the blinding white expanse of snow.

No, my phone—

Anta's eyes widened, staring in disbelief as the only lifeline, the satellite phone, disappeared. She lost control of her emotions and screamed out in desperation.

"What an idiot!"

Lu Qinan walked to the door of the server room and heard a voice behind him. He turned his head and was furious. The three satellite phones in the hotel were all gone. What should he do Damn it!

We found the emergency manual cable reel device, it's round and operates by turning. It might be that they didn't have enough strength because it hadn't been used in a long time.

"We pulled them back." The cable car was only one hundred meters from the top of the mountain, a short distance but still very strenuous for the two of them.

Although they were wearing gloves, their fingers were numb and red from the wind and snow. They were now using all their strength to shake a manually operated crank. Qiao Bao'er gritted her teeth and worked with Lu Qinan, turning it counterclockwise. Their bones felt like they were about to break.

The cable car moved slowly, and Anta and they didn't dare to move.

The bearded man's wife, seeing that the cable car was not heading downhill but returning, immediately screamed and, in a commanding tone of voice, angrily rebuked the direction towards the power house, "Wrong way! We need to go down the mountain—!"

The thin, sharp voice came whistling on the wind and snow. Qiao Bao'er could hear it, her face stiff and grim. Lu Qinan cooperated by using all his strength, panting heavily with a gasp. His grip slackened for a moment, loosening his hold, and he rolled back several times.

Just at that moment, the cable car shot backwards at an incredible speed, its sudden acceleration causing Anta and his companions to scream in terror.

Qiao Bao'er poked her head toward the window, originally wanting to pull Lu Qinnan a little harder.

Then the situation was worse than they expected, probably because they had forcibly started the cable car before. The cables on the cable car were somewhat damaged. Now that it was accelerating suddenly, one of the cables overhead snapped suddenly, unable to bear the weight of the cable car.

Xia Chui Xue and the others gasped in shocked silence.

Crashing down from six meters above.

With a crash, it plunged into the snow.

Jo Baoer ran quickly over. Da Huzi and Anta, in panic, untied their safety ropes and climbed out of the snowdrift. They seemed unharmed.

The big-bearded wife cried and cursed at Jo Bao'er, "This is murder! This is murder! I will sue you!"

"You want to kill me! You intentionally wanted to murder me!" The noblewoman cried miserably, pointing at Qiao Bao'er and raving like a madwoman.

Qiao Bao'er walked up to her face and raised her hand, slapping the woman directly.

Qiao Bao'er struck very hard. The noblewoman seemed stunned, her tears stopping mid-flow, and she stared at Qiao Bao'er with an empty and frightened expression, too terrified to utter another curse.

"Calm down!"

Jo Baoer reached out and pulled her out of the snow with force, her eyes narrowed in a fierce glare, clearly annoyed.

Lu Qinan helped Xia Chuixue and another six-year-old girl up. They didn't scream or yell, more like they were frightened out of their wits. Their faces were whiter than snow, and their bodies trembled constantly.

Fortunately, Xia Chui Xue and the others were all unharmed, while the wind and snow around them continued to howl.

"Back to the hotel."

Qiao Bao'er didn't want to look at them again, stepping on the thick snow, she walked towards the hotel step by step. Lu Qinian helped Xia Chui Xue and followed closely behind.

Anta and her family of three shivered their way to the back, they hadn't been through much hardship before and walked very slowly, looking pitiful and helpless.

The bearded wife still wore a mournful expression, leaning against her husband with apparent distress. "Those two are too cruel and heartless," she declared. "We absolutely cannot let them get away with this."

Besides the howling of the blizzard, their voices could also be carried far and wide.

Qiao Baoer and they all could hear clearly the curses of these ungrateful people. The wind and snow were cold, but human hearts were colder still.tone in her voice, sensed that she had something to ask of her. She put down her bowl and spoon, "Is it about Jun Zhimu getting angry at the servants"All the servants in Jun's household were especiall...
