Tao Lesi’s “Fallen CEO”
The rain was pouring down, the winding mountain road shrouded in a hazy mist. It was afternoon, but the sky was as dark as if night was about to fall.
In the curtain of rain, a silver RV was barely visible, moving slowly along the mountain path, its speed indicating the poor road conditions.
A flash of lightning cut across the sky, followed immediately by a thunderous roar that echoed like a demon’s low growl, sending chills down one’s spine.
The heavy rain devoured the road, visibility almost zero. Wei Tianlong gripped the steering wheel tightly, concentrating intently on driving.
He regretted his decision. He should have just done what he was supposed to do during the trip – attend his good friend’s wedding. Why did he suddenly get the crazy idea to come to the mountains after the wedding, wanting to enjoy nature?
This momentary indulgence seemed to be disapproved by the heavens, which had unleashed this impressive rainstorm to obstruct him.
He wanted to enjoy fresh air, lush greenery, and the sounds of insects and birds – not this torrential rain and thunderstorm.
“Tsk, at this rate, even if I make it up the mountain, it’ll be useless,” Wei Tianlong muttered, his relaxed mood replaced by irritation.
He had thought it was just an afternoon thunderstorm, but the rain was getting stronger and showed no signs of stopping.
Time to turn back!
He decisively began looking for a section of road to turn around, but the heavens seemed to be deliberately opposing him. After driving for a while, the road remained narrow, and with poor visibility, he couldn’t see if any vehicles were approaching, so he dared not turn back rashly.
How terrible – he couldn’t get down the mountain and was forced to continue driving up!
Finally reaching a slightly wider section of road, he no longer hesitated and was about to turn the steering wheel when he suddenly felt a tremor. From the corner of his eye, he seemed to see something falling, and instinctively looked towards the mountain wall—
To his surprise, large stones were falling just behind him, trees sliding down along with the massive landslide of mud and rocks.
“Damn it!” he exclaimed, suddenly feeling a sense of crisis, quickly straightening the steering wheel and cautiously accelerating forward.
