"While I was waiting inside, I was thinking that you would appear in front of me like a hero, just like you are now."
Zhen Tian smiled, her vision blurred, and the hand that was tugging at Ji Yuzhi's sleeve went limp and fell to her side.
"Sweetie! Sweetie!" Ji Yuzhi shouted.
"What's wrong?" Jin Ze caught up.
A tear slid down Ji Yuzhi's cheek. He ran out of the building and handed Zhen Tian to a nearby doctor: "Quickly, take a look at her. Hurry!"
He lost his composure and yelled at the medical staff.
"Wait a moment." The nurses carried over a stretcher and placed Zhen Tian on it. The doctor came over and briefly examined the wound: "Shock caused by excessive blood loss. The leg injury is serious; take her to the hospital for treatment. This place can't treat her."
After the earthquake, they set up temporary medical stations at each emergency point, where they could treat simple wounds. However, surgery still required going to the hospital, as sterile conditions could not be achieved outdoors.
"Is she alright?"
"No problem for now."
After the doctor finished speaking, he rushed off to check on the other injured people.
Jin Ze patted Ji Yuzhi on the shoulder, intending to comfort him, but unexpectedly, Ji Yuzhi slapped him so hard that he fell to the ground.
"Ji Yuzhi!"
Jin Ze rushed over to check on Ji Yuzhi, who had collapsed on the ground.
He felt the heat the moment he touched him.
"Look at him, he has a high fever!" Jin Ze stood up and said to the nurse. His eyebrows furrowed: "He's so sick and he's still trying to be strong!"
Jin Ze took a deep breath and suddenly smiled.
"That kid, really!"
He was also released, but he still had to go back to continue the search. Now that Tian Tian had been rescued, he could focus on his work without any distractions.
He walked to the open space and searched for a long time, but his phone had no signal.
But there's a group of people at home waiting with their hearts in their throats.
Jin Ze did something very high-profile for the first time ever.
...
Lu Ti slowly woke up four hours later. The first thing she saw when she woke up was willow leaves.
"So, any news yet?" she asked, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Not yet, Jin Ze went too. Don't worry, everything will be alright." Liu Ye squeezed her best friend's hand, trying to give her strength.
“Sweetie…” Lu Ti pressed her arm over her eyes and cried silently.
"You have to hang in there, or you won't hear any good news. Hmm?"
The men outside were all glued to their screens. It was almost noon, and their eyes were bloodshot from not having slept all night. But none of them felt sleepy.
"I wonder how things are going..." Lu Lin muttered to himself as he sat on the sofa.
Upon hearing the news yesterday, he bought the earliest flight and flew back. He wanted to go to City B, but all flights to City B were suspended.
"Don't you have a match today? Go back," Lu Kai suddenly said.
"I won't go back. My little sister's life is hanging in the balance. How can I go back to play in the competition?" Lu Lin said coldly.
“You’re not of any use staying here.” Lu Kai’s voice was even colder than his: “Your family is in trouble, but your teammates aren’t. They shouldn’t bear the consequences for you. You’re old enough to know what responsibility means.”
"I..." Lu Lin glanced at Yuan Yuan: "What were the results of this morning's competition?"
"We lost," Yuan Yuan replied quickly.
Today, due to Lu Lin's absence, the team had no choice but to field a relatively inexperienced substitute. However, given that it was a major tournament, the substitute lacked experience and couldn't shoulder the responsibility. The loss wasn't unexpected.
Lu Lin clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the sofa.
His teammates are competing, while his sister's fate is unknown in the earthquake zone. What choice must he make?
"Let's go back," Zhen Yan said. "We'll let you know as soon as we have any news. Bring back a championship and make your little sister happy."
"Big brother!" Lu Lin gritted his teeth.
“I agree.” Lu Yiran patted Lu Lin on the back: “Having come this far, didn’t we say we had to win the championship this year?”
"I……"
After hesitating for a long time, Lu Lin finally stood up with a heavy heart.
"I understand. Let me know as soon as you have any news." Lu Lin said and left without looking back, afraid that if he delayed even a second longer, he wouldn't want to leave.
Not long after Lu Lin left, Lu Ti came out with Liu Ye's help.
"Want something to eat?" Zhen Lei quickly stepped forward and hugged his wife.
"I can't eat, I can't eat," Lu Ti shook her head.
The group continued to stare intently at the television.
"Hey, it's me, can you see me?" Jin Ze's face suddenly popped up on the TV screen. Because it was a live broadcast, his sudden appearance caught the reporters and photographers off guard.
"She's out of danger and in good condition. Don't worry."
He suddenly said a couple of things, apologized to the reporters, and then quickly left and went back into the building.
"Jin Ze!"
"They're out!!!"
The whole house reacted for two seconds before exploding.
The joy of surviving the ordeal filled the entire room.
"Amitabha, Amitabha." Lu Ti clasped her hands together and waved them repeatedly: "Thank God, thank God. Our Zhen family has never done anything wrong, and we will never do it again."
The men looked at each other and laughed.
Lu Yiran quickly took out his phone to notify Lu Lin.
I hope he can see the message before his match.
However, by the time Lu Lin returned to the venue, the competition was about to start. The paperwork and other procedures took up all of his and Yuan Yuan's time.
He barely managed to sit in the competition area, his hands still trembling.
Yuan Yuan sat backstage watching the man on stage and sighed inwardly. This match was likely going to be lost again.
As she expected, Lu Lin was in very poor condition.
Yuan Yuan could already foresee how badly Lu Lin would be criticized online: he was absent without reason in the morning and came back in the afternoon with a terrible attitude.
She took out her phone to check the trend on Weibo. Instead, she saw an exciting message.
[Zhen Tian is doing well; let Lu Lin focus on the competition.]
She stood up excitedly, went backstage, and made a phone call.
After receiving the news that Zhen Tian had indeed been rescued, she closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, she confirmed that it was true.
She was overwhelmed with joy.
In the first round, due to Lu Lin's major mistake, the opponent quickly destroyed their base. The match ended after 28 minutes.
An unprecedentedly fast-paced game, but MG was the one who lost.
Yuan Yuan was eager to tell Lu Lin the good news. But when she entered the lounge, everyone's mood was low. She couldn't care less about that now.
"Lu Lin, Tian Tian is alive. She was rescued alive."
Fearing he wouldn't believe her, she specifically went online to search for clips of what others had told her about Jin Ze and showed them to him.
Lu Lin gritted his teeth, as if he didn't know how to release his emotions. The next second, he hugged Yuan Yuan tightly.
Yuan Yuan was suddenly bumped into on the shoulder, and her head spun. But she still smiled foolishly.
Holy crap!
The team members were stunned. What was going on?
Could you explain this?
