Zheng Xianyong discussed it with his driver, Lao Huang, and decided that Lao Huang would have to drive him to Songjianghe again.

After all, there were more than ten people in the hospital whose conditions were unclear, and as the manager, he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't go and check on them.

And so, Lao Huang drove back to Songjianghe, taking Zheng Xianyong, Zhao Limin and other farm leaders, along with the relatives of several seriously injured people.

By the time they arrived at Songjianghe Hospital, it was already past midnight. "Director Zhou, how is the situation now?"

As soon as Zheng Xianyong arrived at the hospital, he saw Zhou Mingyuan and a few others sitting in the hospital corridor, dozing off. So he hurried over and asked them what was wrong.

"The situation has basically stabilized. The commuter bus driver, who was the most seriously injured, is in a dangerous state. The doctor said that the next two days will be critical."

The others are alright, mostly with external injuries. There are two or three fractures, and some were cut by broken glass and bled quite a bit. The bureau organized blood donations.

"As it stands, there shouldn't be any danger to his life." Zhou Mingyuan shook his head, cleared his mind, and told Zheng Xianyong about the situation.

The driver, being at the very front, is bound to be the first to be hit.

In particular, the branches were not arranged properly, with many sticking out quite long. One of them smashed the front window of the commuter bus and directly hit the driver's chest.

The driver had fractures in his sternum and ribs, as well as internal organ injuries from the impact, making his situation quite difficult to handle.

"Thank you so much, Director Zhou, for your help and support. I don't know what to say. I've caused your bureau a lot of trouble this time."

Zheng Xianyong choked up a little. They say that men don't easily shed tears, but that's only when they're pushed to the limit.

This accident involved so many lives, and even the toughest man like Zheng Xianyong couldn't help but feel sad and heartbroken.

"Alright, Lao Zheng, don't be sad. This was an accident, and nobody wanted it to happen."

"We forestry workers have many accidents every year, there's just nothing we can do about it." Zhou Mingyuan didn't know at the time that it was a man-made disaster, he only thought it was an accident.

Zheng Xianyong didn't say much. Following Zhou Mingyuan's instructions, he went to the ward to take a look and said a few words to the injured person's family.

They stated that the cause of the accident is under investigation, and the company will absolutely not abandon the injured employee or cause their family any trouble in taking care of them.

Apart from Wang Yuanjun, the injured were all from the same forest farm and had known each other well for many years.

Those who are reasonable will naturally not blame Zheng Xianyong for the accident, but will only say that the leader has worked hard and rushed over in the middle of the night.

There are also those who are unreasonable, like Guo Chunsheng's mother, who keeps spewing all sorts of unpleasant words.

Zheng Xianyong didn't tolerate this kind of person.

"Sister-in-law Guo, you can't say these things to me. Wait for your son to tell the investigation team."

If those few hadn't loaded the firewood without escorting the truck, this accident wouldn't have happened.

Your son and his group, along with the truck driver, are primarily responsible for this accident. Just wait for further updates on how it will be handled.

Upon hearing Zheng Xianyong's words, Guo's mother was stunned. Regardless of how cold the weather was, she sat down on the ground and began to wail loudly.

"Oh dear, I can't afford to live like this anymore. My son is injured and still unconscious inside. And you're here to scare an old woman like me?"

What responsibility does my son have? He was just delivering firewood to the Party Secretary's house; if anything happens, that's the Party Secretary's problem, what does it have to do with my son?

This guy started throwing a tantrum and acting like a complete jerk.

Zheng Xianyong rolled his eyes at Granny Guo, didn't respond at all, and turned to leave.

As for the others, seeing how Granny Guo acted, they ignored her.

After crying and making a fuss for a while and seeing that no one paid attention to her, Granny Guo got up from the ground, dusted off her cotton trousers, and went inside to take care of her son.
