The Bigshot Shocks The World When She Backs Home Chapter 678

Chapter 676 - Trapped

His efforts were futile, however.

The students had already scattered around and couldn’t hear the teachers’ instructions clearly amidst all the chaos.

They had never experienced an earthquake before, so it was all the more difficult to calm them down.

The main thing in their minds there and then was to survive. They just wanted to run down the mountain and get to safety.

The crowd buzzed with frantic conversations, along with the occasional screams here and there.

In the face of all the panic, Principal Kongwas rapidly losing his composure. Fear was creeping into his heart, and his head was buzzing.

And then—

“Silence, everyone! Pay attention to what I say. We have nine teachers, and each of them will be leading a group down the mountain. We will start moving after the tremors stop.”

Yao Tang was perched on a boulder and called out in a calm voice. She was holding a tree branch with one hand, which she had waved around to get everybody’s attention.

The scene finally quieted down.

But it only lasted for a couple of seconds. As soon as Yao Tangfinished speaking, the crowd erupted into discussions again. Clearly, they weren’t keen on listening to her instructions.

Suddenly, a sharp crack was heard, and they all turned to see the branch in Yao Tang’s hands break in half.

“If you refuse to cooperate, then you must bear the consequences.”

This seemed to jolt everyone back to their senses. Even the teachers looked more sure of themselves.

Yao Tang made quick work of assigning everyone their tasks for asmoothand safe evacuation.

Her classmates all stood behind her, ready to do whatever she ordered.

Yao Tang remained calm and logical through it all, and it infected the crowd. They mustered a newfound strength within themselves and listened attentively.

At last, the ground stopped shaking. They followed Yao Tang’s instructions and headed to an open area before stopping for a brief rest.

Principal Kong took the opportunity to pullYao Tangaside along with the teachers to make some last-minute arrangements. They were still talking when the two teachers they had sent out to scout a feasible trail returned.

They brought bad news with them.

A landslide had destroyed the original trail that they had taken up the mountain.

The teacher in charge of communications also informed them that the signal had been cut off. They currently had no means of contacting a rescue team, or anyone outside the area, for that matter.

When the students heard this, their earlier panic returned at full force.

Another round of cries and wails rang out.

“Does that mean that we’re going to be trapped here forever?”

“What should we do? If I die here, my parents would be heartbroken.”

“If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have volunteered to participate in this stupid Master Teacher Oath Ceremony! What bad luck!”

“I’m scared! What’s going to happen to us?”

The more they talked about it, the more terrified they became.

But Yao Tangremained calm. The crowd’s emotions didn’t affect her at all. She crouched on the ground and scraped some of the loose soil around her feet. It revealed a gap in the ground.

Through them, she caught a glimpse of what was beneath.

Her face turned somber.

“Don’t worry, everyone,” Principal Kongcalled out. “I’m sure we will get through this safely as long as we work together.”

The teachers followed suit and reassured the students.

Even so, they knew deep down that they weren’t any less frightened than these poor kids.

They couldn’t even react as fast as the students had when the earthquake had first struck.

With the adults’ encouragement, some of the students took it upon themselves to follow their example and soothe their classmates.

Once they recovered their morale, a hush came over them.

They waited for Principal Kongto make a decision and issue further instructions, but the man only turned toYao Tang.

Unfazed, she stood up and began making her way in a certain direction.

“Follow me.”

Principal Kong snapped to attention and motioned for the students to follow her.

But fear and hesitation took over them again.

“This is no small matter,” a teacher whispered to his colleague. “If we follow her and something bad happens, who will take responsibility?”

The others nodded their heads in agreement. They would have readily complied with the principal’s directives, but why would he turn to Yao Tangfor advice?

How could he trust a high school girl so much that he was willing to put all of their lives at stake?

Yao Tang, the daughter of the Yao family who mistakenly exchanged at birth, was finally found. Unexpectedly, since her parents felt that she was embarrassing, they never recognized her as their own, and claimed that she was a relative's child who came to live with them. Everyone thought that Yao Tang was just a bloodsucker who was greedy for glory and clung to her "relative's" family. Her father, Yao Feng, registered Yao Tang at the Municipal No.1 Middle School for school. Since Yao Tang failed all of her subjects, she was rejected by the teaching supervisor. When Yao Feng left with Yao Tang, he met the principal of No.1 Middle School. He quickly went up to greet him, but the principal walked past him and tugged at Yao Tang excitedly. "You're finally willing to come to school!" Yao Tang bumped into Cheng Yan, who had once saved her life. Cheng Yan's friends were all convinced that Yao Tang was a gold-digger and waited for her to ask Cheng Yan to pay. When the bill came, Yao Tang quietly rummaged through her bag. Cheng Yan's friend said, "See, she's just stalling for time and waiting for Brother Cheng to pay!" Yao Tang took out a diamond-studded card. "Waiter, how much discount am I given for this card?" The waiter replied, "Honored guest, our diamond black card entitles you to spend here for free!" After that, a group of elite bigshots appeared. The heir of a top corporation posted, "CEO Yao, you've been on leave for a long time. Come back to work!" The international hacker group flooded computer screens everywhere. [To Yao Tang: Boss, it's fine if you don't come back to work, but can you not assault your own database?] When the usually emotionless prince, Cheng Yan, saw his little wife being surrounded, he flipped the table angrily. "Everyone, stay away. This is my wife!"
