Director Cao sat on the ground, stunned, for quite a while. Then he glanced at me and looked over at Qu Guo lying not far away. He stood up, turned his head, and ran off into the distance.
I felt an urgent panic inside. His running away, doesn't that mean Qu Guo's life could be ending? I wanted to shout, but I couldn't open my mouth. In my current state, I could do nothing but blink; every other action was impossible.
My heart was silently suffering. Director Cao, please show some mercy and turn back. You can leave me behind, I'll be fine after some rest, but please don't leave Qu Guo. That's a human life at stake.
