Chapter 166: He’s Here

Qiu Yanbo opened up his arms. “Why did you think the emergency services got to Gaoye Town so quickly? That’s because I began searching for you as soon as I heard the news. I was the one who directed the forces here as soon as possible.”

Su Qingsang remained silent. Although the time they were stuck in their predicament wasn’t exactly short, the rescue team had gotten to them pretty fast.

“You could pay attention to the news. Many towns in this vicinity were affected by different levels of damage, but they were not as lucky as you are.”

“Thank you very much.” Su Qingsang nodded, her words sounding more sincere than before. “However, I still stand by my words, I—”

“Eat something first.” Qiu Yanbo glanced at the never-ending rain outside the tent. “I don’t think the rain will stop any moment now. A rescue mission is tough, and there might be more injured victims coming in. As a doctor working in the frontlines, it’s best if you conserve your energy.”

Su Qingsang did not speak. She quickly finished the water and bread in her hands.

Throwing Qiu Yanbo a look, she turned around and continued to work.

“So not flirtatious.” Qiu Yanbo said to himself, raising an eyebrow and touching his chin. “But still pretty interesting.”

Time went on for another hour. The emergency services rescued another eight villagers. One of them was a woman eight months into her pregnancy.

When she was rescued, she had already stopped breathing. The situation was terribly critical. The woman’s husband avoided the disaster as he was working someplace else at the time.

Met with a situation like this, he almost fell down upon his knees before the entire medical team.

Su Qingsang was in no mood to talk to him. Accompanying Director Chen and a few nurses, they lifted the pregnant woman into the tent.

The husband wanted to step inside but Qiu Yanbo stopped him.

“Sir, you’ll sabotage the surgery if you go inside. It’s better for you to wait outside.”

Su Qingsang coincidentally heard that when she zipped up the tent. She couldn’t help but steal another look at Qiu Yanbo.

The husband finally stopped insisting on entering the tent.

The rain outside started to grow weaker. Qiu Yanbo glanced at the tent. There was no notable activity. All they could do was wait.

On the other side, a doctor was lacking one more person to lift the stretcher. As Qiu Yanbo had been helping out just now, the doctor called out to him.

Qiu Yanbo didn’t reject him and went over to assist. When he was done, he looked at the time. Su Qingsang was in there for an hour already.

He took a bottle of water and two more buns, planning to pass them to Su Qingsang when she emerged. From the corner of his eye, he noticed a person that shouldn’t have been there.

“Huo Jinyao?”

Huo Jinyao also noticed him at the same moment.

As he narrowed his eyes slightly, Huo Jinyao’s gaze had a sharp edge to it.

“Director Qiu?”

“Director Huo.”

Since his identity was known, Qiu Yanbo didn’t bother with the formalities.

Huo Jinyao had not stopped to rest once in the hours that passed. He had rushed from Rong City to Lin City on a plane.

He rushed towards Qingyuan District without pausing at all after he got off the plane. He only got the most recent news when he reached the district center.

News had it that Su Qingsang and the rest of her medical team had run into a landslide. It was unknown if they were dead or alive.

Huo Jinyao felt as if his heart was suspended midair. He couldn’t reach Su Qingsang, and he didn’t know what sort of condition she was in.

Using any resources he could find, he finally got the latest information on Su Qingsang.

He never thought that he’d see someone who shouldn’t have been there when he arrived.
