Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

Less than an hour remains until the time mentioned in the intelligence!

"Thank goodness! Thank goodness I came across this info, otherwise..."

Jiang Tao, looking fearful in hindsight, picked up his phone to call Bai Yulan.

If he hadn’t stumbled upon this information tonight, this would definitely be a hot topic tomorrow.

Beep beep beep——

Beep beep beep——

...

Drip drip drip, drip drip drip~

Approximately 3000 kilometers away from Ping County.

In Jiangxi Province, it was pouring rain in the Sanqing Mountain scenic area.

A vintage-style wooden inn looked even more picturesque in the vast white rain.

In front of the inn was a large expanse of lush green bamboo forest.

Behind the inn stood a verdant, dripping green mountain.

Raindrops hitting the inn and bamboo forest created a soft rustling sound.

This white noise not only didn’t disturb sleep, but added a unique charm.

Ring ring ring——

Ring ring ring——

In a guest room on the second floor, a phone suddenly rang.

"Who’s calling at this hour?"

Bai Yulan, who had just finished her work and taken a shower, was drying her hair as she stepped out of the bathroom.

At the moment, Bai Yulan was completely nude, and her movements revealed glimpses of her body.

She stood by a makeshift desk where her laptop was placed.

When she saw the caller ID saying "Xiao Tao,"

The anger on Bai Yulan’s face from being disturbed late at night quickly turned into a gentle smile.

"Hey Xiao Tao, are you drunk and going crazy? Calling your sister this late, aren’t you afraid your wife will..."

Before Bai Yulan could finish her teasing of Jiang Tao as she answered the call, her smile froze.

"Sister Bai, leave where you’re staying immediately, now!"

"Tell the boss to get everyone out, as far as possible, quickly!"

"Where you’re staying might be hit by a landslide, get out quickly!"

Hearing Jiang Tao’s urgent voice over the phone, Bai Yulan’s expression tensed up at once.

Knowing Jiang Tao, she knew he wouldn’t joke about something like this at this time.

"There’s no time to explain, Sister Bai, just get out, don’t delay."

"Sister Bai, are you listening?"

"I’m listening, okay, I’m leaving now!"

Upon hearing the words "landslide" from Jiang Tao, Bai Yulan instantly felt the surrounding temperature drop by a dozen degrees.

She looked at the pouring rain outside and thought about the location of this inn.

It could really happen!

Snapping out of her shock, Bai Yulan didn’t question why Jiang Tao said so.

Her intuition told her to trust Jiang Tao’s judgment.

The call lasted less than a minute before ending, and Bai Yulan quickly found a set of her daily clothes to put on.

She didn’t bother packing her luggage, only taking her wallet, phone, and laptop filled with essential work data.

Knock knock knock——

"Xiao Mu, open the door! Wake up!"

After heading out, Bai Yulan first knocked on the room of a manager who was on a business trip with her and stayed next door.

"What’s wrong, Sister Bai? Did something happen?"

Mu Wenjuan sleepily looked at the tense-faced Bai Yulan outside, and her drowsiness instantly faded away.

"Quick, change your clothes, bring your work computer and valuables, hurry!"

Bai Yulan anxiously pushed Mu Wenjuan back into the room, urging her to pack swiftly.

"Ah? Oh, okay..."

Mu Wenjuan didn’t hesitate and hurriedly changed and packed her belongings.

Bai Yulan looked toward the room next to Mu Wenjuan’s.

She didn’t know the guests staying in that room.

"Better safe than sorry, if it’s fake, then all the better."

"But if it’s real..."

Thinking of the dreadful consequences, Bai Yulan made up her mind and knocked on the neighboring room’s door.

One, two, three, four...

Soon, all the doors in the inn were open.

Being woken up in the middle of the night, everyone was confused and somewhat baffled.

Some were even angry, cursing Bai Yulan and Mu Wenjuan as crazy.

The night manager also called the inn owner to report the situation.

"Mudslide? Landslide?"

"That’s impossible..."

"Better safe than sorry, let’s get to safety!"

"Quick, husband, quick, I told you my left eye kept twitching and I couldn’t sleep at all tonight, it must be a bad omen!"

"Nana, go pack your things!"

"Pack what, let’s run! Didn’t you see those two women already ran out of the courtyard?!"

The guests awakened by Bai Yulan and Mu Wenjuan were of the same mindset.

Better safe than sorry!

Everyone grabbed their valuables, ignoring their luggage, and rushed into the rain.

Splash, splash, splash——

The downpour showed no sign of stopping.

Forty-five inn guests along with three staff quickly put on raincoats and dashed into the rain-soaked night.

In less than 30 minutes, the once bustling inn was emptied of everyone.

Time swiftly moved to 1:20 a.m.

Rumble, rumble, rumble——

The direction of the inn suddenly emitted a sound like a hundred horses galloping.

Three consecutive days of heavy rain had caused the mountain’s structure to become unstable.

Tonight’s rain was like the last "drop of water" that broke the camel’s back, collapsing the mountain behind the inn.

Rumble——

The mountaintop suddenly crumbled, and a roaring mudslide surged down the mountain.

Within less than three minutes, tens of thousands of cubic meters of earth, like a monstrous beast, swallowed the two-story inn at the mountain’s base.

"Mudslide! It’s a mudslide!"

"Oh my God... I was almost dead!"

"I, I need to call my mom..."

"We are still alive, we are alive, we didn’t die."

"Where are those two sisters, they are our saviors."

"So close, so close, almost reported to King Yama."

The guests who fled the inn, warned by Bai Yulan and Mu Wenjuan, were now safe over a thousand meters away.

This safety zone was at a higher elevation with a wide view.

Even in the dark rainy night, everyone could clearly see and hear the massive mountain collapse.

Watching the inn they stayed in be devoured by tens of thousands of cubic meters of earth as if it were a child’s toy block,

The power of nature is terrifying!

At this moment, everyone felt like they had narrowly escaped death.

Some hugged each other, some cried with relief, and some gained a new understanding of life after this ordeal.

"Xiao Tao, sister owes you one more life this time."

In the rain, Bai Yulan, wearing a raincoat, felt even more grateful to Jiang Tao as she witnessed what happened behind her.

Narrow escape.

Bai Yulan immediately took out her phone and called Jiang Tao.

Beep——

"Sister Bai, is everything okay on your side?"

The call was answered in less than a second, and Jiang Tao’s concerned voice came through.

"Xiao Tao, from now on you are my own brother; you saved my life once again."

Bai Yulan’s voice was incredibly sincere and full of gratitude.

"Glad you’re alright, let’s not talk about that between us."

Jiang Tao felt relieved knowing Bai Yulan was safe.

Even though he had warned Bai Yulan and sent her over ten messages,

One could never predict other unexpected situations.

"Xiao Tao, how did you know that a mudslide would happen where I was staying?"

Eventually, Bai Yulan asked the question she had been mulling over but couldn’t figure out.

She hadn’t told Jiang Tao where she was on a business trip or where she was staying.

That Jiang Tao could learn about her situation from thousands of kilometers away was truly puzzling.
