Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 563

"It's none of your business even if I fall." After saying, Patrick left without looking back. No matter how hard the officer tried to persuade him to stay, it was useless!

Although the process of passing through the wooden bridge was dangerous, Patrick still successfully arrived at the opposite side.

Then, the head of the construction team who was walking in front of him, turned and asked, "Mr. Hopper, are you alright? Do you need a rest?" Patrick stared at the road in front of him. "It's okay. Everyone, keep going."

"Okay!" Everyone suddenly turned to obey every of Patrick's words.

On the other hand, when the officer crossed the bridge in fear, he found that no one was waiting for him. Besides that, nobody reached out and help him as well. Everyone was f*cking busy currying favor with Patrick.

The officer sighed. He could only resign to his fate and said, "Mr. Hopper, wait for me..."

The group of people could only walked as there was no transportation. Then, they finally realized how bad the environment there was. It was really a inhospitable place.

The officer kept asking Patrick if he was hungry or thirsty all the way which annoyed him. "I'm not a woman. There's no need to treat me this way."

Tears streamed down the officer's face. He thought, "Although you're not a woman, you're more noble than a woman."

In the evening.

The head of the construction team, who had been leading the team suddenly pointed to a stone tablet not far away and said with relief, "Look, everyone. Here's written the village's name. The place we are looking for should be far away!"

Patrick did not say anything but he was very happy. He had not had a good rest for three days and four nights, not to mention taking a bath. Because of his great endurance, he did not turn back in half way to find a hotel and took a bath!

"Let's go!" With his order, everyone quickened their pace.

As the saying goes, there's light at the end of the tunnel. When Patrick and his men appeared in front of the villagers with their face covered in dust, those villagers could not help but thought that these people were the ones who needed help.

A kind-looking old man with grey hair stood out from among the villagers and asked, "You guys are..."

At this time, the officer had fully played his role. He rushed forward and held the old man's hands, shaking them up and down, "Hi, you are the village chief, right? I came here to inspect last year. It was you who treated us a great lunch. Sorry to let you guys waited so long..."

After he made some speeches, the officer introduced Patrick to the village chief solemnly, "This is the boss of Roxxon Corporation who is in charge of this village's investment, reconstruction, and construction..."

When Patrick saw the village chief almost fainted expression, he signaled the officer to shut up with his sharp eyes. After that, he tried to ask village chief as nicely as he could, "Sir, may I ask how's the condition of the group of foreigners who came to your village a few days ago?"

"They're all fine..." The village chief's voice trembled as he laughed. "Although we can't get out of here, we still have the winter leftovers. It won't be a problem for us to hold on for a few more days."

Patrick asked, "Where are they now?"

The old chief pointed. "A few women are staying in the house in front of us. As for those men...they all stay next door to those women. You probably can't understand, just come with me?" "Alright, thanks, sir," Patrick said slowly.

"You're welcome," the village chief said with a chuckle.

When Patrick did not show his arrogant attitude, he could really won the favor of others. At the very least, the friendly smile on the village chief's lips never once faded.

When the officer saw the village chief treat Patrick so enthusiastically, he burst into tears with sorrow. He was the officer from government, not Partick!

The architecture of the village looked like a bird's nest from the outside. The houses were dense but well-arranged which looked both beautiful and spacious.

Patrick followed the village chief's footsteps. They walked in circles until they reached the center of the village.
