Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 1462 What’s on Your Mind

Hen Zhiyuan was sprawled on the cliff’s fissured edge, reaching out his hand to Qin Jian, "Come on, team leader, grab my hand!"

Qin Jian struggled to raise his other hand, trying to grab Hen Zhiyuan’s, but unfortunately, he missed twice in a row, "Hen, lean down a bit more."

"I can’t. If I lean down too much, I’ll have no leverage! Then, I’ll probably not be able to pull you up," Hen Zhiyuan looked back to check his position.

If he moved further down, it would become troublesome for him.

"But if you don’t move down, we can’t get up," Tian Niu had reached his limit, veins on his forehead and neck bulging, "Hen, hurry up."

Hen Zhiyuan looked down and felt dizzy.

Below was pitch-dark, and if he fell, he really didn’t know where he would end up.

But the two people hanging from the cliff couldn’t just be left unrescued. However, even in saving people, one shouldn’t risk their own life, right?

"Hen, why are you dawdling like a woman? Can’t you be more efficient? If you don’t come over soon, both of our lives will be forfeit here," Tian Niu couldn’t help but curse out loud.

Normally, this deputy team leader, like a smiling tiger, made Tian Niu not very fond of him.

Unexpectedly, at a critical moment, this man was actually dawdling.

"Don’t worry. I’m even more anxious than you in this situation. I’ve got a more secure way," Hen Zhiyuan said while getting up to fetch the rope they had used before.

He tied one end of the rope to a large rock and the other end around his waist.

After securing himself, he boldly extended his body outward, "Come on, this time it’s absolutely secure. Team leader, give me your hand."

"Why don’t you give us the rope instead?" Tian Niu roared angrily.

"This... should I untie it and start over?" Hen Zhiyuan offered, already starting to untie the rope.

"No need," Qin Jian gritted his teeth and handed his hand over, he could no longer wait.

Hen Zhiyuan clutched his wrist, "Hold on, I’m about to pull you up."

"Okay," Qin Jian nodded.

Tian Niu, seeing Qin Jian was temporarily safe, slowly let go of his grip.

His arms were painfully sore and lacked strength, fortunately, Hen Zhiyuan caught Qin Jian’s hand in time.

Just as Hen Zhiyuan was preparing to pull Qin Jian up, the earth trembled with an aftershock, and the fissure began to close unsteadily.

"Hurry! Pull up!" Tian Niu was frantic.

Hen Zhiyuan looked at the gradually closing fissure, and at Qin Jian struggling to climb up in midair when suddenly, a series of past conversations flashed through his mind.

"They conflict with An Hao."

"Qin Jian, this time you’re definitely going to earn another second-class merit. When that happens, try climbing the ranks, quickly take my spot."

Those scenes and words became clearer and clearer in Hen Zhiyuan’s mind.

His heart grew more and more resolute in the idea that he and his family were at odds with Qin Jian’s family.

His career, his wife Ma Mei’s career, Ruan Fangfang’s career, all ruined by Qin Jian and his wife.

But what if Qin Jian were no longer around?

A stray thought crossed Hen Zhiyuan’s mind, and the speed at which he pulled up began to slow.

The trembling of the earth grew more intense.

Tian Niu, seeing this, grew anxious, "Hen, put some muscle into it!"

Qin Jian clearly saw the expression that flickered in Hen Zhiyuan’s eyes from below, his brow suddenly twitching, he called out, "Hen, what are you thinking?"
