The area around the bridge pier was already filled with divers. They jumped in one after another, and emerged from the river one after another every half an hour.
One of their captains said, "The water under the river is very turbulent. We didn't find anyone down there, nor did we see a bus under the river. We need support now."
When everyone heard what the captain said, they all showed an uneasy look on their faces. It had been more than half an hour since the bus fell into the river. The longer the time, the smaller the chance of survival for the people who fell into the water.
Even now half an hour has passed, they haven't even found the current location of the bus. Who can hold their breath underwater for so long?
Reporters and members of the search and rescue team began to make phone calls, asking more people to come to the cross-river bridge.
…
After hearing teacher Ling Yanqing's voice, Yun Yikai was stunned where he was. Yun Qing missed the exam and a bus had an accident.
Does this mean that Yun Qing was most likely on that bus? Otherwise, there is no reason for Yun Qing not to take the college entrance examination.
Yun Yikai immediately hung up Ling Yanqing's call and called Yun Qing again.
However, a robotic female voice came into the phone saying that the other party's call could not be connected temporarily, and Yun Yikai immediately felt a little flustered.
Could it be that Yun Qing really had an accident?
Yun Yikai thought about it and immediately opened the news. Sure enough, he saw that the top content of the news was that a bus in the capital collided with a truck and fell into the river.
The number of passengers on the bus is currently unknown, and the life or death of the person who fell into the water is unknown.
Yun Yikai felt as if there was a loud bang in his head, and he started to call his family in a panic.
Yun Yikai called Yun Mingze's cell phone, and as soon as the call was connected, Yun Yikai immediately said: "Second brother, Yun Qing missed the exam, and now I can't contact Yun Qing. I'm worried that she had an accident on the way to school."
Yun Mingze, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up suddenly. He saw today's news that a bus fell into the river, and that bus happened to pass by Didu High School.
If Yunqing really took the bus to Imperial Capital High School, she would most likely be on that bus.
Yun Mingze slammed his fist on the coffee table with a "bang". Today, he found out that Yun Qing was going to school alone only after she left. Originally, he planned to personally send Yun Yikai and Yun Qing to take the college entrance examination today.
If he had known that Yunqing would get up early and leave early, he should have stayed in Yunqing's room to watch over her and prevent her from running around.
Yun Mingze thought of Yun Yikai who still had to take the college entrance examination, and said, "You should take the exam well first, and then find your sister. If Yun Qing knew that you failed the exam this time, I guess she would look down on you."
Yun Yikai paused. He knew that the college entrance examination would be held today and tomorrow, and there would be another one in the afternoon. However, he had no intention of continuing the exam since he couldn't find Yun Qing. He said, "Brother, I want to go find Yun Qing too. If I can't find Yun Qing, I won't be able to concentrate on the exam."
Yun Mingze turned on his computer to look for the surveillance footage of the section of road where the bus was. He now had to confirm whether Yun Qing was actually on that bus.
The surveillance was not damaged. With Yun Mingze's ability, he immediately found the situation of the bus at each stop. His hands suddenly paused on the keyboard.
Yun Mingze took a deep breath and said, "I have checked the surveillance footage of that bus at every stop."
Yun Yikai's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked anxiously, "Is Yun Qing here?"
His tone was full of nervousness. He now desperately hoped that Yun Qing was not on the bus at all. He saw the search and rescue situation after the bus fell into the water. Many people went into the water, but no one was found. Even the location of the bus at the bottom of the river was not found.
The longer the time, the smaller the chance of survival for someone who falls into the water.
Now the news only says that the chance of survival is small, but the reality is, they all know in their hearts that it has been so long, and it is estimated that no one can survive in the water for such a long time.
Yun Mingze chuckled and said, "I didn't see Yun Qing get on the bus. There were indeed a lot of people on the bus, but Yun Qing was not there. Don't worry, just do your best on the exam. I'll ask my brother to go look for Yun Qing, and by the way, help search and rescue the passengers and the driver who fell into the river."
Not in the car?
Yun Yikai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay as long as he wasn't on the bus. As for Yun Qing's absence from the exam, it was actually not impossible to do so given Yun Qing's personality.
Yun Qing got up early today and left the Yun family. I guess something really happened.
As long as Yun Qing didn't fall into the water, he felt that Yun Qing would have no problem dealing with other things.
Yun Yikai felt relieved a little, but he still felt a little uneasy. However, he was ready to continue taking the afternoon exam.
…
After Yun Mingze hung up the phone with Yun Yikai, he immediately called Yun Boli, "Brother, Yun Qing fell into the river."
Yun Boli had just finished a meeting and had not yet returned to the office when he heard Yun Mingze say this. Yun Boli was a little confused. He had no idea what Yun Mingze meant just now.
"Second brother, what did you say?"
Yun Mingze explained briefly, "The bus Yun Qing took today went to Imperial Capital High School, but the bus was hit by a truck and fell into the river. Now Yun Qing's life or death is unknown. I have already found some people to go to the riverside to search and rescue, but there are not many people."
Yun Boli had been in a meeting since this morning and had no idea about today's news. When he heard Yun Mingze say this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, "Okay, I understand. I'll send someone to the riverside right away."
After Yun Boli hung up the phone, he dialed another number to send the Yun family's people to the riverside for search and rescue. Yun Boli's tone when arranging these things was as calm as usual, but the hand holding the phone was shaking slightly.
After he arranged everything, he immediately rushed down the stairs, and then a luxury car rushed out from the parking lot.
…
The cross-river bridge. Less than three minutes after the reporter made the call for help, dozens of cars came to a stop on the cross-river bridge at high speed.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, dozens of teams of people in uniform jumped off the car in an orderly manner, each holding search and rescue equipment and exploration equipment in their hands.
The reporter who had just made a call for help was stunned. Were these people coming here because of the phone call she made?
That shouldn't be the case. She only called one department in the capital. Even a higher department wouldn't have such a big deal!
Before everyone could finish being shocked, another team of cars stopped on the cross-river bridge. Because there were too many vehicles, this team blocked the cross-river bridge when they arrived.
Following behind this group of vehicles were four cranes. When everyone saw the size of the cranes, their eyes widened.
They haven't found the place where the bus fell into the river yet, so they naturally won't call for a crane. But now the crane has arrived, who are these people?
Three luxury cars were parked near the pier of the cross-river bridge, and the doors of the three cars were opened front and back.
Then, everyone saw Yun Boli, the president of Yun Group, appear here, and the person who came out of the car behind this car looked very similar to Yun Boli, but his temperament was a little different and he was slightly younger than this person.
They had heard before that there were three brothers in the Yun family in the imperial capital, and they thought that this man must be one of Yun Boli's younger brothers.
However, all the people from the Yun family in the imperial capital have come here. Could it be that there is someone of important status on that bus?
When everyone thought of this, they began to shake their heads, and they themselves interrupted their thoughts.
The Yun family is such an aristocratic family, how is it possible that anyone would leave their luxury car behind and take the bus instead!
The last car that arrived also moved, but the driver of this car came out and opened the door for the people in the back seat. It seemed that they had never seen such a level of respect in their entire lives.
Then they saw a wheelchair parked in front of the car door, and then a young man with a solemn and chilling expression was helped to sit in the wheelchair.
It’s Si Qingshen!
Everyone gasped when they saw the situation had turned out like this.
Si Qingshen and the Yun family’s people have arrived here, and now they have to believe that the person with an extraordinary status was on the bus that fell into the river.
If it was just the Yun family, perhaps they could still think that the Yun family was concerned about the current social situation and came here specially to help after seeing today's news.
But after Si Qingshen arrived here, he could no longer say that.
It’s not that the people of the Si Group are unwilling to contribute to society, and there is absolutely no need for people from the two families to come here to grab the credit.
So now we can only say that the passengers in the car may be people who are closely related to the Si and Yun families.
Si Qingshen was called by Yun Mingze. After Yun Mingze finished calling Yun Boli, he called Si Qingshen directly. There is no fear of numbers when it comes to saving people, as there is strength in numbers.
Moreover, Si Qingshen's identity and status are not ordinary. Maybe Si Qingshen has other ways to rescue the people underwater as soon as possible.
After all, the longer the suffocation lasts, the less likely you are to survive.
After Yun Boli, Yun Mingze and Si Qingshen met, the three of them were not in the mood to be polite. They waved their hands and asked the people they brought with them to go into the water to rescue people.
Si Qingshen sat in a wheelchair, looking at the calm river surface under the bridge, his face gloomy.
Si Qingshen waved his hand gently, signaling Chu Xiyuan to push his wheelchair under the bridge.
Chu Xiyuan took a deep breath, said nothing, and quickly pushed the wheelchair to the bottom of the bridge.
When Si Qingshen received Yun Mingze's call today, he, who had already recovered his ability to walk, fell to the ground after hearing what Yun Mingze said.
It was only after he asked Si Qingshen that he found out that Yun Qing had an accident.
He was extremely shocked. In his impression, Yun Qing was similar to Si Qingshen. It seemed that nothing could stump them. But how could Yun Qing fall into the river?
He didn't want to believe it was true, but how could Yun Mingze, as Yun Qing's second brother, lie about this matter? Si Qingshen immediately called all the people in the imperial capital and came here immediately.
When they got under the bridge and were closer to the river, Si Qingshen clenched his hands into fists. The river was calm and looked peaceful, but such a calm river swallowed up the person he loved most.
The people on the river had no idea how turbulent and dangerous the situation was beneath the surface.
Si Qingshen watched the rescue workers jump into the water one by one. Many people on the shore were using detection equipment to find the location where the bus fell into the water. His hands were clenched tightly together.
Yun Mingze and Yun Boli were not idle either. They kept walking along the shore, waiting for first-hand detection and search and rescue information.
Finally, someone shouted, "We found it. We found where the bus fell into the water."
Several key personnel walked over. The man looked at the detection instrument in his hand and said, "Maybe because of the rapid current in the river, the bus was washed away for several hundred meters and is now stuck in the cracks of the rocks. Because the rocks at the bottom of the river are quite large, the people who entered the water at first didn't notice it."
"Now that we have found it, let's quickly get in the water and check the situation inside the bus to see if there is anyone else inside."
Now, an hour has passed since the bus fell into the river. Even if Si Qingshen and the Yun family acted quickly, exploration and search and rescue would take time, and the situation underwater was unclear. So far, they have not found a single person in the water.
Now everyone's hopes are on the bus. When the bus falls into water, the bus' windows are likely to be broken due to the water pressure and water flow, and the passengers on the bus are also very likely to be washed out.
But there is another possibility, that is, some people are still on the bus.
Members of the search and rescue team went into the water one after another. After another hour, they rescued four people from the bus, but none of them showed any signs of life.
The last rescuers who were looking for passengers on the bus came up and said, "There is no one left on the bus."
Si Qing, Shen Yun, Boli and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but their hearts immediately began to tighten again.
Two hours had passed and there were no survivors or anyone else on the bus, which meant that the rest of the people on the bus must have been washed away. This meant that their search and rescue area had become larger.
It is also more difficult.
Someone said: "Is it possible that there aren't that many people on the bus at all?"
"Today is the college entrance examination. In order to ease the traffic, many people gave up their own cars and took the bus to work. The departure time of this bus is just the time for everyone to go to work, but I don't know if there are students taking the college entrance examination on the bus. What a pity."
"Alas! Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, but why did a truck like this rush over? Isn't today the college entrance examination? How can such a truck be allowed on the road?"
Chu Xiyuan listened to everyone's discussion and the current search and rescue situation, feeling very uneasy. He slowly turned his gaze to Si Qingshen, worried that Si Qingshen would not be able to bear the current result.
