The conversation reached a deadlock again. All of 놖's tricks were ineffective in front of Peng Xiaomin. But 놖 still did not die, and almost muttered to himself, asking a new question: "You said... why did Yue Mingyuan move 놖 here?"
The corner of his eyes was fixed on her face, capturing any subtle changes.
This time, it obviously worked. The sharpness in her eyes softened a little, and she replied, "I heard from Sister 놖 that he will come to see you in person tonight."
"So, moving to this less crowded place is to avoid being seen?" This rhetorical question was almost the answer itself.
She didn't answer. Her thoughts seemed to have slipped away from the topic and fell on 놖's injury. She gently wrapped her arms around 놖's waist, moving very slowly, wanting 놖 to slowly lie down and return to the bed.
At this time——
“Ding Dong!”
The sudden doorbell ring instantly pierced the atmosphere in the ward. Both of them were shocked and their bodies froze for a moment. She immediately looked at him, asking: Do you want to open the door?
He nodded almost imperceptibly.
She quickly got out of bed and walked quickly to open the door.
Standing outside the door was the first visitor after moving to the new ward, and the person 놖 most wanted to see at the moment—Hu Jia.
He was holding a large bouquet of flowers and a heavy fruit basket. When the door opened, a crying voice came in: "County Magistrate Guan! Are you...are you feeling better?"
His genuine expression warmed 놖뀞's head. 놖뇾 waved at him and motioned him to sit on the sofa.
"I've wanted to come see you for a long time!" His voice was still filled with excitement. He put down his things and explained, "But the Discipline Inspection Commission suddenly asked me to cooperate with the investigation, which delayed me until now."
She turned to Peng Xiaomin, her tone gentle but unquestionable: "Xiaomin, please go to the inner room and rest for a while. You can talk to Hu Jia alone for a while."
She nodded obediently, without asking any more questions, and turned to go into the suite.
As soon as the door closed, the gentleness on 놖's face disappeared instantly, and his eyes locked on Hu Jia sharply: "Why did the Discipline Inspection Commission come to you so urgently? What did they ask?"
Hu Jia's face suddenly became angry. "How can that be called an inquiry? They are simply trying to trick us into acting according to a script they designed! To put it bluntly, they want to make a big deal out of a small matter and cover up the truth!"
Tian Zhenyu's move was clearly an excuse for his people, trying to erase those shady things.
The action ability and efficiency of this group of people are really amazing. Tong Yazhou is the lobbyist at the front desk, and Tian Zhenyu is the authority to force his subordinates - both soft and hard, this is to force Fan.
놖's expression eased a little, and he said sincerely: "Hu Jia, 놖 was able to save his life this time, thanks to you calling the police at the critical moment."
He waved his hand: "This is because you are blessed with good fortune and luck."
"On the day of the accident, 놖 fell into a coma and didn't know anything," 놖 continued to ask, "What happened next? Tell me about it."
He paused for a moment, as if recalling that thrilling moment: "Just as I went around the hill, I saw you and Brother Xiang walking towards the ventilation shaft... Then, the tailings came pouring down! The momentum was no less than a flash flood. At the critical moment, I saw Brother Xiang pounce on you..."
At this point, he burst into tears.
The salty tears slid down my cheeks and flowed into my mouth.
After a long while, he calmed down a little and continued, "Then... the tailings turned into mud and flow, and instantly swallowed up the ground where you were standing. The incident happened so suddenly that I couldn't see the situation of you and Brother Xiang clearly. I could only run desperately while calling County Magistrate Zhang."
놖 asked: “When did the rescue start?”
He tried to reconstruct the events in his mind: "I remember that not long after, County Chief Zhang and the town leaders arrived at the scene. At that time, the tailings had basically slid away, and several people had come down from the mine. When I told him the situation, County Chief Zhang immediately ordered the mine to organize manpower and drive a bulldozer to start rescue! Secretary Wei even went to the gymnasium in person and gathered a group of young and strong laborers with shovels to dig..."
Listening to Hu Jia's story, the doubts in the community about whether Xiang Qianjin's sacrifice was due to delayed rescue were finally dispelled.
놖 then asked: "How long did the rescue last?"
He replied, "The rescue point is on the hillside, and the bulldozers can't be used at all, and the efficiency is extremely low. What's more dangerous is that a second landslide may occur at any time. According to the instructions of Secretary Kuang of the County Party Committee, we dug against the clock while waiting for reinforcements. At about seven o'clock in the evening, the floating bridge on the Minhe River was built, and the county brought two excavators on trailers. The efficiency has increased, but..." He paused, and his voice became low, "Everyone was worried that you were buried underneath, so they didn't dare to move too much for fear of hurting people... They dug so carefully until about eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and then... they found Brother Xiang."
At this point, his voice trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with fear, grief, and deep regret.
Of course, he didn't want to show his disgrace in front of his subordinates, but when he thought of that tragic scene, his tears welled up and his face was covered with tear marks.
Hu Jia stood up silently, took two tissues from the table and pushed them in front of him.
놖 took it, but had no time to wipe it, and just asked anxiously: "What was your brother Xiang's condition when he was rescued?"
He lowered his head, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "When Brother Xiang was dug out... he was covered in black mud, and it was impossible to tell who he was. The emergency personnel from the county hospital immediately rushed forward to rescue him, but soon... it was confirmed that there were no vital signs." He paused and added with difficulty, "And... he had already started to rigor mortis, judging that it was not long after the landslide occurred... Let's wait for everyone to use small amounts of water to wash off the mud on his body, and then... we can see his true face clearly."
놖 didn't dare to imagine the tragic scene and could only mourn silently for 놖's good brother.
"Have your brother Xiang's family members arrived at the scene?" He suppressed the grief in his head and asked again.
Hu Jia slowly raised his head: "Here she is. It's Brother Xiang's sister-in-law. As I remember, she came with Director Hu and Secretary Kuang. And... your parents."
I didn't want to ask the family members how grief-stricken they were at the time, and I didn't dare to imagine it - that scene was enough to make me feel pain in my bones just by passing through my mind.
"So... what time was it found?"
"It was probably around 3 a.m." Hu Jia's voice deepened. "After we found Brother Xiang, we didn't find you for a long time. Several leaders on the scene asked the people in the mine in detail, and combined with your eyewitness description, they speculated that you might have been pushed into the ventilation shaft by Brother Xiang. You directed the excavator to clean up the tailings along the location of the ventilation shaft. After the wellhead was dug, people were sent down, and you were found here. Fortunately, the doctor's examination said that you were fine, but you have been unconscious. Director Hu immediately went down and sent you to the Central Hospital."
At this point, the entire rescue plan seems to be clear.
However, the mysteries of 놖뀞 have not been fully solved yet, and 놖 must find all the answers.
