The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. As early as the afternoon, relevant departments issued a red rainstorm warning, reminding citizens to reduce travel.
There were very few cars on the road, but they were moving very slowly.
The driver noticed Qiao Wanwan's mood and immediately said, "Madam, please don't worry, I've been working as fast as I can."
Qiao Wanwan composed herself. "Our own safety is also very important."
"Understood, I'll try to be as fast as I can."
It was nearly two hours later when the car arrived at the slum.
Qiao Wanwan didn't even have time to open her umbrella before getting out of the car. The scene that appeared before her eyes made her tremble violently!
The slums consist of simple bungalows, some made of wood and some even of mud. They cannot withstand the erosion of torrential rains, and many of them have collapsed!
Qiao Wanwan took off running towards the slums!
"lady!"
Jiang Dong, who had just arrived, hurriedly caught up with her, holding an umbrella. "Madam, you can't get wet in the rain! Besides, it's very dangerous inside, you can't go in!"
"Jing Ting is inside, I have to go in!" Qiao Wanwan rushed into the slum without hesitation and went straight to the hut.
The house was a wooden structure and quite old; it had already collapsed, and her men were working in the rain to rescue the people inside!
Qiao Wanwan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she rushed forward to start moving the wooden planks!
"Jingting... Jingting is buried underneath... Jingting, I'm coming! You have to hold on! Hold on!"
"Madam!" Upon seeing this, Jiang Dong immediately threw down the umbrella in his hand, went up to help Qiao Wanwan up, and said, "You're not wearing protective gear, your hand will get hurt! Please wait over there, we'll take care of it!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Qiao Wanwan shouted anxiously, "The more people, the more help! I can wait, but can Jing Ting wait? What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dong had no choice but to do as instructed.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there were no lights on site, only the flashlights they brought themselves for illumination.
Qiao Wanwan was so focused on moving things to save people that she didn't notice what she had bumped into. The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her palm, so painful that she threw away the wooden board she was holding!
"Madam!" Jiang Dong threw down what he was holding and rushed forward.
Qiao Wanwan's palm was cut by something, and the blood that flowed out mixed with the rainwater, a shocking sight!
"You're injured! Someone! Call a doctor immediately!"
"I'm fine..." Qiao Wanwan said, forcing herself to speak despite the pain. "Never mind that, let's hurry and save them!"
"Madam, you were cut by this nail!" Jiang Dong picked up the wooden plank from the ground. "The nail is already rusty. You must go to the hospital immediately to treat the wound and get a tetanus shot!"
Qiao Wanwan looked at the rusty nails on the wooden board and said, "The tetanus shot can be given within 24 hours, but Jingting is trapped underneath, he can't wait, we need to save him as soon as possible!"
"lady......"
"Can't you understand what I'm saying!" Qiao Wanwan interrupted Jiang Dong loudly. "Or have you lost your sense of priorities?"
Jiang Dong could only nod, "Yes, Madam."
The doctor rushed over, and Qiao Wanwan simply wrapped her hand with gauze before continuing the search and rescue operation.
After more than half an hour, they finally moved most of the collapsed wooden planks, and Qiao Wanwan immediately noticed the exposed cabinet.
"Almost there..." Hope ignited in Qiao Wanwan's eyes. "Hurry, it'll be done soon!"
Several people worked together to move the last plank, revealing the crushed wooden bed, but no one was there!
“Jing Ting…” Qiao Wanwan’s fingertips trembled. “Jing Ting, where are you!”
"Madam, please don't worry, it might be in another location," Jiang Dong instructed. "Keep moving, don't miss a single corner!"
"yes."
The house wasn't big, and its entirety was quickly revealed, but there was no one there!
While Qiao Wanwan was still in a daze, she suddenly heard Jiang Dong shout, "Madam, look!"
Qiao Wanwan turned her head and looked in the direction Jiang Dong was pointing, and was surprised to see a tall and upright figure!
The man was holding a large black umbrella, which contrasted sharply with the short white hair under the umbrella.
The moment their eyes met through the rain, Qiao Wanwan could no longer hold back. She ran towards him and hugged him tightly!
"Jingting...you scared me to death...I thought you were trapped underneath..."
The man, holding the umbrella in his right hand, moved silently toward her. He slowly raised his left hand, his movement of wanting to hug her frozen in mid-air. After a moment's pause, he gently pushed her away.
You've mistaken me for someone else.
A deep, hoarse voice slowly rose, blending with the sound of the torrential rain, creating an illusion.
Qiao Wanwan shook her head and grabbed his left hand. "Jingting, Eleven has returned safely. I know you're investigating Xiao Jiu's whereabouts. Everything will be alright. I believe Xiao Jiu will be back safely soon. You don't need to hide your identity anymore. Come home, let's face this together, okay?"
The man slowly withdrew his hand and said again in a deep voice, "I'll say it again, you've mistaken me for someone else."
After saying that, the man turned and left.
Qiao Wanwan stood there, stunned, watching his figure slowly disappear into the night, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
“Madam, let’s go.” Jiang Dong stepped forward and held an umbrella for her. “You need to go to the hospital to treat your wound as soon as possible.”
......
When Huo Shiqian arrived at the hospital, Qiao Wanwan had just finished treating her wounds.
He looked at Qiao Wanwan's bandaged hand. "How is it? Is the wound deep?"
"It's alright, not particularly deep," Jiang Dong replied.
Have you had a tetanus shot?
