When Chen Fang next opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a hospital ward in Jinde County.
A face wearing a mask lood over him.
Staring at him with big eyes.
They were a pair of very familiar eyes, and Chen Fang couldn't help but ask, "Su… Doctor Su?"
"Don't talk just yet, let check you first."
The doctor before him was indeed Su Lu'an.
She shone a flashlight into Chen Fang's eyes to check them, then listened to his heart with a stethoscope and said, "There doesn't seem to be any major issues, still as vigorous as ever. You're one lucky guy."
Chen Fang struggled to sit up.
Su Lu'an quickly supported him.
And said, "Even though you're fine, you still need to rest properly."
"Doctor Su, let ask you, how's the deputy county head Wang who was trapped under the rubble with ?"
Chen Fang asked urgently.
Su Lu'an replied, "He's alright. He just lost consciousness due to lack of oxygen, but thankfully, not for long. Just like you, he'll be okay after so rest."
Hearing this news,
Chen Fang's anxious heart finally settled.
At this mont,
the door to the hospital room was pushed open.
Yu Zhengchuan walked in.
Seeing that Chen Fang was already lying there.
He paused for a mont and said, "You're awake?"
"What? By the look on your face, it seems like you aren't too happy to see awake?"
Chen Fang asked.
Yu Zhengchuan chuckled and said, "I'm thinking of your well-being. I think it's better for you to lie down right now."
"Why?"
Chen Fang asked.
Yu Zhengchuan pointed towards the doorway.
And said, "Just how many romantic debts have you racked up, man? There's a bunch of won outside the ward, each more beautiful than the last; I just don't see what charm you have?"
"Won?"
Chen Fang blinked in surprise.
Su Lu'an said, "We really owe it to your group of warrior won this ti, otherwise, you probably would have been a goner..."
After saying that,
she and Yu Zhengchuan took turns describing the rescue operation.
When Chen Fang heard that so many won were waiting for him outside, he was so scared that he covered his head with his blanket and cried out, "Oh my goodness, so many at once, how am I supposed to deal with this? I might as well be dead."
Suddenly, Yu Zhengchuan leaned in close and said, "I have a plan."
Chen Fang was pleasantly surprised.
He threw off the blanket and asked, "What is it? Tell quickly!"
"Just tell them that you now like n instead of won. I can suffer a bit, sacrifice so dignity and act it out with you. But I'll have to charge for it, what do you think?"
Yu Zhengchuan proposed earnestly.
Hearing this, Su Lu'an couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yu Zhengchuan scratched his head and said, "Oh, right, there's still one here."
"Stop it, I'm not one of them."
Su Lu'an punched him playfully.
Chen Fang grabbed a pillow and threw it at Yu Zhengchuan, shouting angrily, "You damn bastard, always coming up with horrible ideas. When I get better, I'm going to kill you!"
"Fine, if it's death you want, you can go first!"
Yu Zhengchuan, gritting his teeth, opened the door of the ward in front of Chen Fang and shouted outside, "Chen Fang is awake. You all can co in and see him now."
Oh, heaven and earth, how did I end up with such a brother.
At this mont, Chen Fang wished he could kill him.
Angry as he was,
he still had to force a smile.
After all, four won rushed in all at once.
Wen i, Gu Jingshu, and the sisters Fang i and Fang Gui.
During the rescue, there were two other teams. One was led by Xu Lianyun, who, as a high-ranking official, couldn't express her worries overbearingly like those girls; she led her team away after the rescue ended.
Another was led by Lan Lv, who had never had any relationship with Chen Fang, and she also returned and reported back to their station.
But there were still four won left in front of him.
No, it should be four and a half.
Su Lu'an was, after all, half accounted for.
"Are you all right?"
The first one to rush over was Gu Jingshu, who was genuinely concerned as evident by her furrowed brows and red-rimd eyes.
Chen Fang thumped his chest with his hand and said, "I'm fine, I can be discharged from the hospital right now."
Gu Jingshu let out a long sigh of relief, saying, "Good to hear that you're okay...good to hear..."
"Um... if you're okay, then my sister and I will head back first."
Fang i could tell that this place wasn't ant for a long stay, so she suggested leaving.
Fang Gui pouted and said, "Sis, didn't Brother Chen ask us to stay and protect him?"
"Seeing him like this, he probably doesn't need our protection. Let's go."
"But... "
Fang Gui still wanted to argue.
But Fang i forcefully dragged her out.
"Um...you two talk, I'll go check on the other patients."
Su Lu'an also made an excuse and took her leave, taking Yu Zhengchuan with her as she went out.
Now, only three people were left in the room.
Wen i, Gu Jingshu, and Chen Fang.
As the door to the ward closed, Wen i teased, "Look at you, causing such a scene, driving a bunch of won to panic over one man, you have no idea how worried my cousin was; she has been crying non-stop since she got to the scene. Did you give her so sort of love potion or what?"
"Big Eye, what are you talking about?"
Gu Jingshu lightly slapped Wen i, a bit annoyed.
Wen i retorted, "I'm not babbling nonsense; you know very well whether it's true or not."
Watching the two cousins banter back and forth, a wave of warmth surged in Chen Fang's heart.
He pursed his lips and said, "Thank you."
"Hold it! Don't give that emotional spiel, no need for any of that sappy thanks or whatever."
Wen i said bluntly.
Chen Fang was taken aback and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Wen i pondered for a mont and said, "I'm a straightforward person, I like climaxes. Give a few more climaxes once you've recovered, and as for my cousin, she likes romance, so just spend so romantic ti with her when you're free."
"Big Eye, stop it, what are you saying?"
Gu Jingshu's face instantly turned red.
Realizing sothing, Wen i said, "My cousin also wants climaxes; if you're up for it, we can both keep you company..."
Wen i, with her innocent face, would say the most straightforward things; perhaps, that was part of her charm.
Gu Jingshu interrupted her.
She spoke seriously, "Let's stop talking about this and discuss sothing more serious. Before Vice Minister Xu left, she had so words she wanted to pass on to you."
"Go ahead."
"About this incident, even if you didn't know everything, you must have guessed most of it. The ones who ended up rescuing you were your friends and not the county committee or county governnt. You understand what's going on, right?"
Gu Jingshu said.
Chen Fang paused and asked, "Are you saying... "
Gu Jingshu nodded and said, "It was Ding ngxiang who ordered not to rescue you. I don't quite understand that; no matter what grudge you two had, it shouldn't have cost you your life, right?"
Chen Fang contemplated for a mont and said, "Before the landslide, Vice County Mayor Wang and I called him, asking him to take imdiate action. He didn't listen. Only Wang Yiyi and I know about this. He did what he did because he wanted to bury this incident completely."
"It all makes sense for his career then. This Ding ngxiang is indeed ruthless!"
Gu Jingshu sighed.
Chen Fang's gaze darkened as he learned the truth.
He said, "It seems I need to settle all accounts with him thoroughly."
Five days later.
Jinde County Auditorium.
The entrance was festooned with colorful banners, and inside the hall was decorated brightly, a scene of great festivity.
Above the main stage in the hall, a banner was hung, reading "Houtang Village Disaster Relief Comndation Ceremony."
The comndation ceremony, sponsored by the Jinde County Committee and Governnt and assisted by the Jinde County Propaganda Departnt, was quite a grand affair.
In addition to the local leaders from the county, Wen'an City's Communist Party Secretary Song Yiqiang and the Propaganda Departnt Head Gao Chang would also attend the eting.
