Sun Youyou said through her tears,
"My dad’s old warehouse at the pharmaceutical factory collapsed, he, he’s not going to make it, wuuu..."
"Where are you now?"
Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart skipped a beat, rembering the call he overheard Jiang Man making yesterday. He had thought it too coincidental at the ti.
Indeed, nothing in this world is impossible.
"My mom and I are at the county hospital."
"Okay, I’ll be right there."
Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly hung up the phone, didn’t even bother to wash his face, and dashed downstairs, driving quickly to the hospital.
When he arrived at the entrance of the hospital, he realized that the county hospital was already locked down.
Security officers were everywhere, maintaining order and ensuring public safety.
At the ergency building entrance, gathered were hundreds of workers in "Wanshan Hui Nong Pharmaceutical Factory" uniforms and hundreds of family mbers who couldn’t stop crying.
"Dad, you can’t be in any trouble."
"Wife, if you die, I won’t live either."
The scene was spectacular.
Outside the hospital, there were dense crowds of local residents who had co to watch the spectacle.
Zhang Xiaoshan wanted to enter the hospital.
But he was stopped by a security officer.
"Sorry, we are carrying out official duties. The county hospital has been temporarily requisitioned today. If you need dical attention, please go to the Chinese dicine hospital."
"I have an ergency, my relative is being resuscitated inside. I need to go in," said Zhang Xiaoshan, urgently.
"Everyone outside says they have relatives inside. If I let everyone in, that would create chaos. Please, move along," the security officer said impatiently.
Zhang Xiaoshan was instantly furious.
"What if I insist on going in today?"
"What, you want to resort to violence? Kid, I advise you to see the situation clearly. I’m warning you to restrain yourself, or you’ll bear the consequences."
"Fine, you wait."
Zhang Xiaoshan imdiately made a phone call.
From the other end of the phone ca a burst of noisy shouting.
"Make way, let get out," a man at the other end told those around him, and then it quieted down quite a bit, apparently he found soplace to take Zhang Xiaoshan’s call.
"Little Shan, why are you calling ? I’m busy at the county hospital right now. It’s chaotic like a ss here, we can talk later," the other person was about to hang up.
Zhang Xiaoshan quickly said,
"It’s good that you’re here, I’m outside the county hospital. I have a relative inside who is being resuscitated, but I’ve been stopped from entering."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Luo Yihua was alard.
"You wait for , I’ll co out to et you," he said.
The phone call ended.
Zhang Xiaoshan stood outside waiting.
"Hey, you know to call for backup? Let tell you, there’ve been many people pulling strings today, but the county chairman is also inside, nobody’s going to be effective," the security officer said with indifference.
"Am I not effective?"
Before Zhang Xiaoshan could say anything, a thunderous voice ca from behind the security officer.
The security officer turned to see a middle-aged man in security uniform trousers and a white shirt glaring at him.
It was Security Chief Luo Yihua.
"Chief Luo, why, why did you co out?" the security officer asked, puzzled.
Luo Yihua bombarded him with a tirade,
"I often remind you all to unite with the masses and maintain good relations. What have you learned?"
The security officer dared not utter a word.
Luo Yihua then said to Zhang Xiaoshan,
"Haha, Little Shan, it’s like a flood has stord the Dragon King Temple, a family doesn’t recognize its own. Co on, co with inside."
"Can I go in now?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked the security officer.
The security officer’s heart was pounding, thinking to himself that Luo Yihua actually referred to the other man as a brother? He quickly put on a smiling face and said,
"Yes, of course."
"Hmph."
Anxious Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t want to waste any more ti arguing and imdiately followed Luo Yihua into the hospital.
"Chief Luo, is the situation that serious? Why are there so many people here?" Zhang Xiaoshan asked as they walked.
Luo Yihua frowned and explained to Zhang Xiaoshan,
"It is a bit troubleso, the pharmaceutical warehouse collapsed, burying over a dozen people. We organized manpower to rescue them overnight. Everyone was dug out, a few had minor injuries, but the rest are seriously injured. Luckily we brought in top experts from the city to rescue them overnight. Now, except for a man nad Sun Dazhi, everyone is out of danger. By the way, what’s your relative’s na?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was silent and did not speak.
Damn, it’s really such bad luck.
"It can’t be that coincidental, can it?" Luo Yihua saw Zhang Xiaoshan’s expression and imdiately guessed sothing.
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.
"Hmm, Sun Dazhi is the husband of my middle school teacher. His family has always taken good care of , and I ca today for his sake."
But upon hearing this, Luo Yihua beca excited.
"You know Sun Dazhi’s family? That’s great, you help talk to them. That mother and son have been making a scene, and if Sun Dazhi’s death is announced later, they will cause a commotion, and all those workers outside definitely won’t just let it be. There’s a big difference between serious injury and death. Once soone dies, this..."
"What, Chief Luo, are you worried it might affect you?" Zhang Xiaoshan’s tone was a bit upset.
Luo Yihua hurriedly explained,
"It doesn’t involve much. Mainly, it would cause quite a trouble for Chairman Jiang."
"Worse cos to worst, she might leave Wanshan County. A demotion would be the least of it, and she might even face legal responsibility."
"What?"
Zhang Xiaoshan imdiately beca anxious.
