Chapter 731 - 349: 58 Lives Lost! God Jiang Is Trending Again!
After tonight’s events.
Bai Yulan became increasingly curious about her younger brother, Jiang Tao.
Upon careful reflection.
From the time they met, grew familiar, to now becoming inseparable, it has only been about two months.
The first time they met, she was feeling down and went night fishing at Qisan Reservoir, where she accidentally fell into the water.
In the desolate countryside, with freezing temperatures, Bai Yulan couldn’t swim either.
It was truly a moment of desperation without any help in sight.
There were no other night anglers around her that day.
She thought she was doomed.
Just when she was in utter despair, Jiang Tao suddenly appeared and, without hesitation, jumped into the water to save her.
He pulled her back from the brink of death.
Later, with Jiang Tao’s advice, Baiyulan Hotel eliminated a major safety hazard.
Jiang Tao also helped her uncover a mole inside the hotel who was falsifying accounts and costing her money, preventing further losses.
Similarly, with Jiang Tao’s help, Bai Yulan’s mother found her son who had been missing for over thirty years.
Bai Yulan felt that Jiang Tao was like a lucky star in her life.
As a result, she developed a special affection for Jiang Tao.
To be honest, they hadn’t known each other for long.
But Bai Yulan treated Jiang Tao better than friends she had known for twenty or thirty years.
Her kindness towards Jiang Tao was purely from the heart, without expecting anything in return.
No matter what Jiang Tao asked of her, she would do her utmost to help him.
Even among siblings, it doesn’t get much better than that.
Tonight, once again thanks to Jiang Tao’s timely warning, she escaped disaster.
The rumbling sound and the moment the mudslide engulfed the hostel are still vivid in her mind, filling her with lingering fear.
While feeling immense gratitude towards Jiang Tao, Bai Yulan naturally wondered how he could be so prescient.
"I just had a nightmare, dreaming that Sister Bai was staying at an inn at the base of the mountain during a business trip and was buried by a mudslide."
"After waking up from the dream, I felt chest tightness, short of breath, and very agitated, so I wanted to warn Sister Bai."
Jiang Tao’s explanation made complete sense, and his dream-come-true case wasn’t isolated.
Globally, there are quite a few documented cases of people dreaming about disasters and then escaping in time, just like Jiang Tao.
Of course, there is no scientific basis for the "dreams come true" phenomenon; it’s entirely a matter of probability.
Amongst billions of people worldwide, there’s bound to be one or two whose "dreams come true", which is already a low probability.
"So that’s how it is, but anyway, Sis owes you another life this time."
"I’m heading back to Ping County tonight. Come over for dinner at my place."
"Sis wants to thank you properly in person."
"Besides, it’s also a celebration of my survival and escape from disaster."
Bai Yulan casually asked, and she wasn’t one to be overly inquisitive and demanding of answers.
No matter how Jiang Tao knew, or how it happened, the result was good for her.
"Alright, see you tonight. It’s getting late, Sister Bai, you should rest early as well."
"My heart is still pounding heavily, I can’t sleep. How about keeping me company for an all-night chat?"
"Uh, of course I can."
"Silly brother, I was just teasing you. I’ve got a lot of things on my end too, someone’s coming over, so I’ll hang up now."
"Okay, see you tonight."
After Jiang Tao hung up, Bai Yulan turned her gaze to several people walking towards her.
"Sister, thank you so much, you saved me and my boyfriend’s lives."
"Thank you, big sister. If it weren’t for your warning, my girlfriend and I..."
A young couple stopped about two meters in front of Bai Yulan, looking at her with gratitude.
"Young lady, thank you so much."
"Young man, great gratitude requires no words, let’s exchange contact information. You’ll be our benefactor from now on."
"Yes, sister, let’s exchange contact information. You saved all our lives!"
Following the young couple, more guests who had evacuated the hostel came to Bai Yulan to express their thanks.
"You don’t have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank my brother Jiang Tao. He called to tell me to evacuate."
Bai Yulan didn’t intend to take credit from Jiang Tao and directly brought this "behind-the-scenes hero" to the forefront.
Tonight’s incident is quite serious and will definitely catch the attention of various local government departments and surely make today’s hot topics.
For Jiang Tao, this is another opportunity to become famous and enhance his influence.
Bai Yulan herself has a somewhat sensitive identity, not suited to being too high-profile or flamboyant.
So, naturally, she wants to leave this opportunity to Jiang Tao.
"Ah? Your brother Jiang Tao?"
"What happened..."
"He called to tell you to evacuate?"
Upon hearing Bai Yulan’s words, more doubts arose in everyone’s minds.
"Yes, about half an hour ago, just when I was about to go to sleep, I got a call from my brother Jiang Tao..."
Bai Yulan recounted what Jiang Tao explained to her in detail.
"That’s how it was, it’s so amazing."
"It shows we weren’t meant to die!"
"Young man, you and your brother are both our great benefactors! Without your brother’s alert and your warning, we all would have been buried alive today."
"Yes, sister! You and your brother are our great benefactors!"
After hearing Bai Yulan’s explanation and understanding the truth, everyone still felt grateful towards her.
