Watching the soldiers being taken into the hospital one by one by the medical staff, Xiao Qian then said to Feng Xinran, "Ms. Feng, the commander asked me to take you back."
Feng Xinran was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Brother, please tell my dad that I won't be going back."
Xiao Qian became anxious upon hearing this, looking troubled: "Ms. Feng, you should talk to the commander about this yourself."
Seeing this, Feng Xinran naturally knew what Xiao Qian was worried about, so she said, "With natural disasters happening now, you have your tasks, and as a local police officer, I also have my own responsibilities. How can I desert my post? When you go back, tell my father that I will stay at my post until this crisis is over."
"But……"
"Xiao Qian, since Officer Feng insists, don't force her. I believe Uncle Feng can understand her." Chen Yu interrupted him, trying to help Feng Xinran out of the predicament.
He was naturally happy that Feng Xinran could stay in Anping. After all, Feng Xinran was Feng Zhengyang's daughter. The reason he shamelessly called her "Uncle Feng" was precisely because he knew Feng Xinran. This was the link he would use to maintain his relationship with Feng Zhengyang in the future.
Even if Feng Zhengyang were to turn against him in the future, given that his daughter Feng Xinran is here, he wouldn't be able to act too recklessly. In other words, Chen Yu has gained control over Feng Zhengyang's weakness.
Faced with Feng Xinran's decision, which was entirely beneficial to him, Chen Yu naturally gave his full support.
"But I really don't know how to explain this to the commander." Xiao Qian still looked troubled.
"Don't worry, my Uncle Feng isn't that kind of person. Please tell Uncle Feng that I'll take good care of Officer Feng here and that he shouldn't worry," Chen Yu reassured him.
At the same time, he turned and shouted into the hospital, "Lele, is the food I asked you to prepare ready? You've made such a big fuss over such a small thing. What use are you to me?"
"Here you are." Lin Lele rushed out of the hospital, carrying a tray with several steaming bowls of instant noodles on it.
"Xiao Qian, hurry up and have something to eat so you can get going. Your commander is waiting for you to come back." Chen Yu took a cup of instant noodles and quickly handed it to Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian wanted to decline, but he was so hungry that he was afraid his body wouldn't be able to hold on if he couldn't replenish his energy in such a cold environment.
He gratefully accepted the instant noodles, quickly unwrapped the packaging, and began to wolf them down.
There was no other way; in such frigid temperatures approaching -60 degrees Celsius, the instant noodles cooled down rapidly, so he had to eat them quickly to allow his body to absorb the heat as soon as possible.
In less than a minute, Xiao Qian finished a bucket of instant noodles.
Seeing this, Chen Yu quickly handed Xiao Qian another cup of instant noodles. When he saw that the lid of the instant noodle cup was covered with thick ice crystals, Xiao Qian quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was already full.
"Young man, what kind of relationship do I have with Uncle Feng? Why are you being so polite with me? Here!" Chen Yu directly stuffed the instant noodles into Xiao Qian's hand.
Xiao Qian looked bitter. He couldn't refuse Chen Yu's "kindness" so he could only accept the instant noodles. However, he couldn't eat any of this kind of culinary disaster, so he casually put it in the driver's seat.
Seeing this, Chen Yu seemed to realize what was happening, smiled awkwardly, and then instructed Li Zheng to put some more dry food in Xiao Qian's car and fill the truck's fuel tank to the brim.
Then he pushed Xiaoqian into the driver's seat and closed the door.
"Xiao Qian, hurry back, or Uncle Feng will get anxious," Chen Yu urged.
Xiao Qian was a little confused by Chen Yu's series of actions. Through the driver's side window, he glanced at Feng Xinran, opened his mouth, but swallowed his words in the end.
After all, one is bound to be obligated to those who offer food and gifts; having received both, it seems difficult for him to say anything more.
So he could only say to Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen, I will pass on Ms. Feng's matter to the Commander, but I cannot guarantee whether the Commander will agree."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's expression immediately turned serious: "Xiao Qian, what are you saying? It's as if I'm going to detain Officer Feng."
Xiao Qian smiled wryly and said, "Yes, I understand. I will definitely convey Ms. Feng's wishes to the Commander."
"Okay." Chen Yu nodded slightly, then said, "Thank you for your hard work, drive carefully."
Xiao Qian saluted the crowd, then started the car and slowly drove into the snowstorm.
Seeing Xiao Qian leave, Lin Lele whispered to Chen Yu, "Sir, do you still want to eat these noodles?"
"Eat my ass!" Chen Yu said irritably. "It's so cold, and you still bring the instant noodles outside. They're frozen solid. How are we supposed to eat them?"
Lin Lele lowered her head, looking aggrieved, and whispered, "Didn't you keep urging me? I thought..."
"Alright, stop talking. Go get some more food, some meat! We've been busy all day and haven't had a hot meal yet." Chen Yu interrupted her and turned to walk into the hospital.
"Chen Yu, now that the crisis on my father's side has been resolved, I won't bother you any longer. I still have official business to attend to," Feng Xinran called out to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu frowned and said irritably, "Is your police station just a shell of its former self? What kind of official business are you still carrying out?"
“That’s not how you say it, Chen Yu,” Feng Xinran retorted. “Although the situation is serious now, the order in the city still needs to be maintained. As a police officer, I have the responsibility and obligation to do these things.”
“Officer Feng, you don’t even have a means of transportation, so how can you go out and maintain order? Besides, given the conditions of our hospital, it’s already bustling with activity. In the future, there will probably be even more people coming for treatment, and it will definitely be very chaotic. If you stay here, you might be able to play a better role,” Chen Yu said earnestly.
After a moment of contemplation, Feng Xinran nodded.
She knew Chen Yu was right. After all, the natural disaster had been going on for three days, and with water and power outages everywhere, the hospital that was still able to generate electricity would inevitably attract some troublemakers. At that time, she, as an enforcer, would be needed to maintain order.
After comforting Feng Xinran, Chen Yu went to the hospital to rest for a while. When Lin Lele prepared the food, he only ate a few bites because the taste was really not good.
After watching Li Zheng and the others finish eating, he took out a key and handed it to Li Zheng, instructing him to go to the warehouse and bring over some more diesel and supplies to keep the hospital running.
This warehouse was built by Chen Yu before the natural disaster to cover the storage of special food supplies in the other dimension. Last night, when he was preparing weapons for Feng Zhengyang in the warehouse, he also put some fuel and various supplies in a small room.
Since the hospital is already running, there is no need to shut it down. To keep the hospital running, various supplies need to be continuously supplied. He can't just secretly go and get them from the other dimension every time, can he?
And so, this scene unfolded.
He handed the key to the room where the supplies were temporarily stored in the warehouse to Li Zheng. He told Li Zheng to arrange for someone to fetch whatever the hospital needed and to replenish the supplies once they were used up.
