"Principal Ding, look, the boats are coming."
At that mont, he heard the excited voice of his secretary, Wen Ruohan.
Wen Ruohan pointed towards the surface of the great river in the not-too-distant, where several rescue boats were approaching. The first two boats were moving quite fast, clearly rescue boats designed for such ergencies.
"Target spotted."
"Approaching the target."
"The target is at risk of sinking; the difficulty of salvage operations will increase after it goes down."
"I heard it was that thing that saved the bus?"
"Its na is Big White, haven’t you seen its movie?"
The river police departnt personnel aboard the rescue boats were discussing the rescue plan, and at the sa ti, they were talking about the heroic robot Big White floating on the river, which had saved a bus.
When Ding Yue saw the arrival of the rescue boats, he imdiately grasped the bridge railing with both hands and looked down below.
The rescue boats quickly reached the vicinity of Big White.
Then the mbers of the river police rescue team on the boats began using salvage tools to retrieve Big White, which was floating on the river.
If not for the robot Big White today, the mbers of the river police rescue team would probably not be retrieving a robot but the passengers on the bus instead.
And once the bus had fallen into the river, it would have quickly sunk. At that point, all twenty or thirty passengers aboard would have been in grave danger.
No one would want to see such a tragedy occur.
Luckily, because the robot Big White intervened to stop the bus, the tragedy did not happen.
As the river police rescue team was salvaging Big White on the river, personnel from Mist City’s police departnt, traffic departnt, and other agencies had also arrived on the bridge.
And hospital ambulances had arrived as well.
It was said that there were passengers injured on the bus.
Indeed, after all, the bus had been lurching out of control, swerving from the opposite lane to this side. It was a common occurrence for passengers to get knocked around and injured from being unable to sit securely.
Not only that.
When the police departnt personnel arrived, Captain Chen, after conversing with the driver and passengers, took a woman in her thirties into custody.
It seed that the bus lost control during its normal operation because this woman had interfered with the driver, even posing a grave threat to his driving safety.
Faced with such a situation, although passengers on the bus tried to stop the woman, it was too late. The driver was affected, causing the entire bus to swerve, and he was unable to brake in ti, almost causing the bus to crash into the bridge railing and fall.
At that critical mont, the robot Big White appeared.
"Get her handcuffed!"
Captain Chen was irate while looking at the woman.
There had been tragic lessons in the past from similar incidents. Now soone dared to do this again. If not for the robot Big White stopping the bus from falling off the bridge, wouldn’t there be a repeat of the tragedy?
The traffic departnt personnel began to quickly disperse the traffic on the bridge.
Hospital ambulances transported the injured passengers to the hospital, and a few doctors stayed behind to check on so of the passengers with minor injuries.
The incident on the bridge was swiftly reported to the City Governnt building.
Upon learning of the incident, Governor Li of Mist City imdiately demanded a serious response from the relevant departnts. Governor Li was also relieved that the incident had not caused a major disaster. Otherwise, how many more innocent citizens would have suffered?
When Ding Yue saw the river police team had salvaged Big White onto the boat, he felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.
Soon after, Ding Yue received a call from the person in charge of the river police rescue team.
"Hello, Principal Ding. We’ve already pulled up the robot. Unfortunately, it seems to have been damaged. Where would you like us to transport the robot now?" asked the person in charge of the river police rescue team.
"Thank you for retrieving Big White. Please send it to Mist City Arts and Science University later. Soone will et you to take over," replied Ding Yue with gratitude.
If not for them, Big White would have been left in the water a bit longer, which likely would have caused even more damage or it might have sunk to the bottom of the river, making it much harder to retrieve later.
"Alright, Principal Ding. I must say, your university’s robot is really impressive," complinted the person in charge of the river police rescue team.
In the eyes of all the people involved in today’s operation, Big White was a hero.
"Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Ding Yue turned to leave with Huang and the others, ready to drive back to school. The transport of Big White to Mist City Arts and Science University would be handled by the Jiang Police Rescue Team, so there was no need for Ding Yue to worry about it.
As for the situation with the bus at the scene, it could be left to the relevant departnts, sparing Ding Yue any concern.
Ding Yue reflected that he still needed to rush back to the university to deal with the fire incident.
He didn’t know what was going on today.
It seed like there were many issues, and none of them were good.
A fire at the university, Big White damaged while saving the bus—these were undoubtedly bad news for Ding Yue.
Wasn’t there any good news at all?
No, that wasn’t right.
Ding Yue had co to the Mist City E-Sport Pavilion today to watch his Mist City Arts and Science University FY team’s spring finals, and he had left during the fourth ga.
He wondered how the fourth ga had turned out.
Had they won?
If they had won, then the FY team would be the spring champions, but if they had lost, they would need to play a fifth ga.
Ding Yue hoped that good news would co from the Mist City E-Sport Pavilion later.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a downer for today.
After Ding Yue drove away from the bridge, he headed towards the Mist City Arts and Science University.
On the way,
Ding Yue first called Director Qi Chunsheng from his university’s Academic Affairs Office to inquire about the investigation into the school’s fire.
"Hello, Principal Ding, I called you but you didn’t answer. Have you returned to the university?"
Director Qi Chunsheng asked after the call connected.
"I’m on my way. There were so unexpected events on the road. Director Qi, have we figured out what caused the dormitory fire at the university?"
Ding Yue imdiately asked.
The fire incident at the university was not to be taken lightly.
Upon returning to the university, he had to convene a eting to re-emphasize campus safety.
And it wasn’t just about reinforcing it in a eting, but also ensuring that the relevant university departnts and staff fully implented campus safety asures.
Ding Yue didn’t want to see another campus safety issue at his Mist City Arts and Science University.
"Principal Ding, we have investigated the cause of the fire with the fire departnt. It was caused by cigarette butts that were not properly extinguished in a trashcan. The most critical thing, however, is that the cigarettes weren’t smoked by our students, but by two students from the neighboring Mist City University of Technology. They had co to our university to watch the match in a friend’s dorm room. It was today’s ’League of Legends’ spring final, and those two students accidentally started the fire while smoking,"
Director Qi Chunsheng detailed the cause of the fire to Principal Ding.
"What?"
Ding Yue was taken aback when he heard this.
Well, that’s sothing.
It turned out the fire at his university wasn’t started by its own students but rather by two students from another institution.
In that case, the matter might be a bit complicated.
Ding Yue had planned to address the cause of the fire and then take appropriate action against Dormitory 325. However, he hadn’t expected the students in Dormitory 325 to be almost unrelated to the incident.
It was not entirely unrelated—after all, the two smoking students were friends from another school, so there was so connection.
But clearly, Ding Yue could not administer severe punishnt to the four students in Dormitory 325 for this reason, as that would make them scapegoats.
As principal, Ding Yue could not be so unreasonable.
"Principal Ding, if we are to deal with this situation, we need to communicate with the Mist City University of Technology, considering the fire was caused by their students smoking,"
Director Qi Chunsheng suggested.
