Chapter 26 Rescue
Yan Songyu fell several meters away. After a moment of pain, half of her body went numb, and she lay on the ground, unable to move.
Qian Senmu's reputation as a top bodyguard was well-deserved; he swiftly dragged Yan Songyu away from the danger zone.
Yan Songyu turned around blankly and saw the relieved smile on Feng Yu's lips. She immediately became excited, "Feng Yu!"
“We can’t go back.” Qian Senmu held Yan Songyu tightly. “Miss Yan, it’s dangerous over there. You can’t go.”
"Feng Yu!" Yan Songyu struggled desperately, "Feng Yu is buried, can't you see?"
"Calm down!" Qian Senmu yelled at his employer. "Miss Yan, getting agitated won't help. What you should do now is contact more people for rescue."
"Yes, yes, I'll call for help." Yan Songyu's hands were trembling as she tried to make the call, but her bag and phone were in the car, which had already been buried.
Qian Senmu steadied the staggering Yan Songyu and asked loudly, "Cellphone? Who brought a cell phone?"
Everyone shook their heads; they had just gotten off the bus to work, and their phones had been left in the bus.
The search and rescue team leader said, "I've been here twice. There are houses about a kilometer ahead where you can borrow a cell phone."
"I, I'll go borrow it." Upon hearing this, Yan Songyu broke free from Qian Senmu's hand and ran away.
"Thank you for your hard work here." Qian Senmu said and quickly followed.
After confirming there was no danger, the search and rescue team began their work, but without tools, clearing the mud and sand was very slow.
Yan Songyu knew that Feng Yu was in critical condition, so she didn't dare to stop for a moment. She, who never liked exercise, ran for nearly a kilometer in one go. Her chest felt increasingly tight, and her lungs felt like they were filled with razor blades. When she reached the door, her throat was extremely dry and itchy, and she could only make a "hoarse" sound.
Seeing the host's wary look, Qian Senmu quickly explained, "Hello, our convoy encountered a mudslide about one kilometer from here, and some people are buried. We would like to borrow your phone for a moment."
Yan Songyu was speechless and could only nod vigorously.
Seeing that they were covered in mud, the middle-aged couple handed their phones to Yan Songyu without hesitation. The woman even poured her a glass of warm water, saying, "Drinking some water will make you feel better."
Yan Songyu gratefully took the water and drank it down her throat. She felt much better afterward. "Thank you!"
She called Jiang Ping; she had already asked Jiang Ping to arrange a hospital and doctor when she left Beidian Village.
"Hello, this is..."
"Sister Jiang, we encountered a mudslide on our way back. The car and Feng Yu are buried. Please contact someone for rescue immediately. We're here..."
The hostess reminded them at the right moment, "Wenbei Road, Xihewan."
"At Xihewan on Wenbei Road, hurry!"
"OK."
Jiang Ping was only surprised for a moment by Yan Songyu's booming voice before she quickly hung up the phone and began making arrangements.
As soon as she hung up the phone, Yan Songyu's legs suddenly went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
The woman quickly went to help her up, asking, "Are you alright?"
Yan Songyu shook her head. "It's nothing, thank you! I'm just a little exhausted."
"I've gathered all the usable tools in the house, like shovels, hoes, and a wheelbarrow," the man said, looking at Qian Senmu. "Let me go help you first."
Qian Senmu didn't stand on ceremony; they desperately needed the tools. "Thank you!"
Yan Songyu also wanted to go, but she didn't have much strength. The hostess said, "It's starting to rain again. You can rest at my house for a while. I'll make you some ginger soup and send it over with hot water later."
Jiang Ping contacted the search and rescue team and bodyguards who were still organizing in Beidian Village, and also dispatched rescue vehicles from Wenshui County. The team arrived in less than an hour, and the search and rescue team had already cleared a corner of the site using borrowed tools.
Yan Songyu was held in the tent to avoid the rain. The doctor was treating her wounds. She had been pushed out by Feng Yu and had fallen quite hard. Long bloody marks appeared on her arms, stomach, and legs. They were swollen and bruised. The grit in the wounds had not yet been cleaned out, making her look somewhat ferocious.
Just as her wounds were finished being treated, a noise came from outside. "Found her, she's still breathing."
Yan Songyu dodged the doctor's hand that was bandaging her and rushed out. The moment she saw Feng Yu, the tears she had been holding back for so long finally fell.
The doctor chased after her and comforted her, "Ms. Yan, Mr. Feng is still alive. Don't worry, let me bandage your wound first."
"Thank you, but no need." Yan Songyu shook her head and caught up with the ambulance.
Yan Songyu and Feng Yu were taken to the hospital together. She fainted on the way. When she woke up, she saw Feifei guarding her bedside, with glistening tears still on her eyelashes.
"Wow~ Mom, you're finally awake! Waaah~" Feifei cried pitifully when she saw Yan Songyu wake up, but she didn't forget to press the call button to call the doctor.
Yan Songyu reached out her bandaged hand and hugged Feifei to comfort her, "I'm sorry, I scared you, baby. Mommy's okay, don't cry."
Yan Binghua came in with the doctor. He quickly pulled Feifei away and wiped her tears. "Let the doctor examine Mommy first. Be good, don't cry. Grandpa will hold you."
Feifei gritted her teeth and nodded, her loud crying turning into soft sobs. Her father had been in a serious car accident a while ago and stayed in the hospital for more than a month. Now her mother and Uncle Feng were also in the hospital. When she was by her mother's bedside, she was really, really scared!
After the doctor's examination, Feifei and Yan Binghua were relieved. "Miss Yan's injuries are all external. She will be fine once she wakes up."
"Dad, how is Feng Yu?" Yan Songyu suddenly asked.
"Xiao Yu's surgery was successful, but he has serious external and internal injuries and is still unconscious."
"I'll go see him."
"Don't move yet, I'll have someone bring you that wheelchair." Yan Binghua held down Yan Songyu, who was trying to get out of bed, and pushed Feifei in front of Yan Songyu. "Comfort Feifei, she's been terrified these past two days."
"Mommy~"
Feifei's cries softened Yan Songyu's heart, and she couldn't help but show her gentlest smile, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mommy is fine."
"But...you said you'd be careful." Feifei couldn't help but pout as soon as she opened her mouth.
“I’m so sorry, but Feifei, mudslides are natural disasters, and Mommy didn’t want them to happen either.” She pressed Feifei’s head into her arms. “Mommy will be more careful in the future and will definitely take good care of herself so that Feifei won’t worry.”
Feng Yu's ward was right next to hers. He was still unconscious. Yan Songyu returned after confirming that he was alright.
Feifei clung to her side, never leaving her side. The incident had cast a long shadow over Feifei. It was already 9 p.m., and Yan Songyu finally managed to trick her into going home by saying she wanted to eat the food Feifei had brought her.
Goodbye, Songyu!
Yan Songyu watched as Feng Yu waved goodbye to her, but no matter how much she called out, he wouldn't turn around.
"Feng Yu!"
Yan Songyu woke up with a start, struggled to get out of bed, and wouldn't feel at ease unless she saw it with her own eyes.
The bodyguard was surprised to see her come out. "Miss."
"How is Feng Yu?"
"The doctor just went in to check on Mr. Feng, and he's fine."
"I'll go see him."
Yan Songyu pushed open the door and was immediately met by the doctor making rounds. At the same time, the electrocardiogram monitor emitted an alarming "beep beep" sound.
