The rescue operations outside proceeded intensively. Various equipment was set
up on the flat ground, and rescue teams entered the mine one by one. Their
entry represented the hope and chance for life of those trapped underground.
Later, Jacques persuaded Josephine to return. to the base and rest. The
nighttime temperatures here were too low, and women were prone to
hypothermia under this kind of temperature.
“Miss Jacobson, if you want to see Mr. Ethan return safely, you must ensure your
own well- being. If something happens to you, Mr. Ethan will definitely chew my
head off, Jacques advised earnestly.
Although reluctant, Josephine ended up agreeing to his suggestion. Before
getting into the car, she grabbed Jacques’ arm and urged, “If there's any news
about the rescue, please inform me immediately.”
“I will, I promise, Jacques assured her. Josephine returned to the base and was
directly escorted to Ethan's room. As she pushed open the door, the sight of
some documents and a cup on the desk tugged at her heartstrings.
“Miss Jacobson, there's hot water here. You can take a shower. If you need
anything, just let me know,” an assistant said. “Thank you, I appreciate it.”
Josephine nodded. She had no problem conversing in Chinese.
After the door closed, Josephine sat at Ethan's desk and looked at the computer.
The documents on the side had his signature on them. She gently picked up the
pen he had used, holding it in her palm as tears uncontrollably streamed down
her face. The quieter and more alone she was, the harder it was to let her fragility
show.
The news of Ethan's accident had been kept under wraps, and the outside world
was still unaware of it. There would be a significant impact on the stock of the
Quarles Group otherwise. Speculation from the public could
cause the stock price to potentially plummet. Ethan was the sole heir of the
Quarles Family. If something happened to him, the shareholders. of the Quarles
Group might start having other thoughts.
Edward was also arranged to stay at the base overnight because the Arctic
temperatures at night were unbearable for the human body, and precautions had
to be taken to prevent hypothermia.
The rescue teams were ensuring safety and maintaining the temperature inside
the mine. At this moment, six rescue teams had entered the mine, advancing
through six different tunnels that potentially connected to Ethan's location.
Ethan and his team had been trapped in the cave for over a hundred hours by
now. As for their supplies, resources were not an issue as long as they were still
alive.
However, the crucial outcome the rescue teams needed to determine was
whether the people inside the cave were still alive. There would be hope for a
successful rescue only if they were alive.
The six rescue teams kept close communication, reporting their positions and
sharing any relevant information. Deep inside the cave, Ethan and his team were
also trying to find a way toward the main mine tunnel, as their retreat had been
blocked.
Instead of a natural one, Ethan suspected that the initial earthquake was caused
by someone detonating explosives at the entrance behind them, which resulted
in the entire cave shaking.
He recalled the unidentified signal King had reported to him about, but he didn’t
want to add to his team’s anxiety at this moment. He instructed his team to only
move forward and not backward to avoid encountering the mercenary group that
might be behind them.

After analyzing the situation, Ethan
deduced that the mercenaries had

entrance, burying them all inside the

cave. However, they hadn't

trigger a massive avalanche, burying
themselves as well under meters of
snow, leaving them with no chance

Mr. Ethan, please take a look at this.
One of the bodyguards called out to
Ethan. Hearing that, Ethan took a
flashlight and approached the
bodyguard who then asked him to
reach his hand into a small hole. As
Ethan reached out, he felt a cold gust
of wind rushing out from the hole.
His face lit up with joy in that instant.
This indicated a ventilation opening.
If they could clear this passage, they
might be able to go deeper into the
mine. The content is on
