Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 571: Don't Worry About Your Life
Lin Ke watched the family of three go away, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Lin Ke, are you okay?"

The captain walked up to Lin Ke and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Captain."

Lin Ke shook his head. Although his body was exhausted, his spirit was extremely excited.

"You kid, you really don't want to live! Do you know how dangerous it was just now?"

The captain couldn't help but scold, but his tone was full of concern.

"I know, Captain, but I can't stand by and watch that little girl get into danger."

Lin Ke said in a firm tone.

"You are just too impulsive! Next time you encounter this kind of situation, you must ensure your own safety first, understand?"

The captain shook his head helplessly. He knew Lin Ke's character. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

"I understand, Captain."

Lin Ke nodded. He knew that the captain cared about him, so he did not refute.

"Okay, take some time to rest. We still have to continue searching and rescuing other trapped people."

The captain patted Lin Ke on the shoulder, then turned around and continued to direct the rescue work.

Lin Ke found a place to sit down, took out a bottle of water from his pocket and drank it in big gulps.

A day passed quickly, and thanks to the efforts of the rescue team, most of the trapped people were successfully rescued.

However, Wang Huaiyuan's parents were never found.

"Captain, have you still not found Wang Huaiyuan's parents?"

Lin Ke walked up to the captain and asked anxiously.

"No, we have searched all possible places and found no trace of them."

The captain shook his head, his tone heavy.

As the sun sets, the last ray of light in the sky gradually disappears on the horizon.

The rescue team returned to the makeshift camp. The exhausted members sat outside the tents in groups of three or four, eating a simple dinner in silence.

The atmosphere was terribly depressing, and everyone's face was filled with fatigue and worry.

"Wang Huaiyuan, come over and have something to eat." Lin Ke walked up to a thin figure, holding a bowl of steaming noodles.

Wang Huaiyuan sat on a rock, his head lowered, his hands tightly hugging his knees, his whole body curled up into a ball.

Hearing Lin Ke's voice, he slowly raised his head, revealing a face full of tear marks.

"Brother Ke..." Wang Huaiyuan's voice was very hoarse and his eyes were red and swollen, as if he had been crying for a long time.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" When Lin Ke saw Wang Huaiyuan's look, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly put down the bowl in his hand, squatted down, and asked with concern.

"My parents...my parents..." Wang Huaiyuan choked up and couldn't speak complete sentences.

"What happened to your parents? Take your time, don't worry." Lin Ke gently patted Wang Huaiyuan's shoulder, trying to comfort him. "My parents... they haven't been found yet..." Wang Huaiyuan finally couldn't help crying, and his tears fell like beads that had broken off the string.

Lin Ke's heart sank suddenly. He knew that Wang Huaiyuan had been worried about his parents, but he didn't expect this result.

"Don't worry, the rescue team is still searching, your parents will be fine." Lin Ke comforted them, but he himself was unsure.

"Really? Brother Ke, do you think my parents will..." Wang Huaiyuan raised his head and looked at Lin Ke eagerly, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.

"No, your parents are blessed by heaven, and they will be fine." Lin Ke suppressed the sadness in his heart and tried hard to force a smile, but he knew that this smile would look so pale and powerless in the eyes of Wang Huaiyuan.

At this time, Captain Chu Yang came over with a folder. His face was solemn and his brows were furrowed.

"Captain, what's going on? How many people haven't been found yet?" Lin Ke stood up and asked anxiously.

Chu Yang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "According to statistics, there are still ten people missing, among whom..."

He paused, his eyes fell on Wang Huaiyuan, and said in a heavy tone: "Including Wang Huaiyuan's parents."

Hearing this, Wang Huaiyuan’s eyes went dark, his body swayed, and he almost fainted.

"Huaiyuan!" Lin Ke was quick to act and grabbed Wang Huaiyuan, holding him tightly in his arms.

Wang Huaiyuan leaned weakly in Lin Ke's arms, tears bursting out again, his sobbing was heart-wrenching and heartbreaking.

Lin Ke hugged Wang Huaiyuan tightly, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know how to comfort this poor child, so he could only accompany him silently, hoping that he could feel a little warmth and strength from him.

Chu Yang looked at the group of exhausted team members in front of him, and his heart felt heavy as if a huge rock was pressing on it.

"Comrades, I know everyone is very tired and worried about the missing people." Chu Yang's voice was low and hoarse, but it carried an unquestionable strength. "But now is not the time to rest. We must prepare for the worst and do our best to find every missing person!"

"Captain, what do you mean..." A young team member couldn't help but ask, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Chu Yang took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The golden rescue time has passed. We must be mentally prepared. The hope of survival for the missing people is very slim..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Huaiyuan's roar: "Impossible! My parents will be fine! They must still be alive!"

Wang Huaiyuan stood up suddenly, his eyes were red, like a wounded beast, ready to go berserk at any time.

"Huaiyuan, calm down!" Lin Ke grabbed Wang Huaiyuan and pushed him back to his seat. "The captain only said that you should be mentally prepared, but he didn't say that your parents must..."

"Brother Ke, stop talking. I know what you mean." Wang Huaiyuan interrupted Lin Ke, his voice hoarse, "But I can't accept it. I can't just give up like this. I want to go find them!"

As he said this, he was about to rush out, but was held back tightly by Lin Ke.

"Are you crazy? It's almost dark now, why are you going out alone? Are you going to die?" Lin Ke roared. He rarely lost his temper with Wang Huaiyuan, but this time, he was really angry.

"I don't care! I must go find my parents!" Wang Huaiyuan's emotions completely collapsed. He struggled hard, trying to break free from Lin Ke's restraints.

"Can you calm down? If you go out like this, what's the point other than dying in vain?" Lin Ke yelled, "Do you think your parents want to see you like this?"

Wang Huaiyuan's body suddenly stiffened. He slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Ke, his eyes full of pain and struggle.

"I..." He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

"Huaiyuan, I know you are sad and scared now, but you can't give up on yourself like this." Lin Ke slowed down his tone and gently patted Wang Huaiyuan's shoulder. "Your parents must not want to see you like this. You have to cheer up. Let's wait for news together, okay?"
