Chapter 86 MAX
"Pei Song, wake up."
Pei Song opened his eyes dazedly and saw Shi Yanchen leaning over the bed: "What's wrong?"
"The wind speed has dropped. We can take you to the hospital right away." Shi Yanchen's voice was somewhat urgent. "The doctor said that your condition cannot be delayed any longer."
The doctor came over and gave Pei Song a final check: "Although the body temperature has returned to normal, the heart rhythm is still very unstable. You must be transferred to a hospital for professional treatment as soon as possible." He turned to Shi Yanchen, "If there is anything abnormal on the way, please contact me at any time."
"Doctor, thank you so much." Pei Song said weakly, "It's been so long, and we still don't know your name."
The doctor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was negligent. My name is Li Mingde."
"Mr. Pei, I should be the one to say thank you." He continued to check Pei Song's various indicators, "If you hadn't stopped Xiao Miao in time that day, he might have..." At this point, his voice choked up a little, "You saved my son, and I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life."
"Doctor Li, you are too serious." Pei Song said softly, "It was just a conditioned reflex at that time."
Shi Yanchen stood up and asked, "Which hospital does Dr. Li work in? We must pay him a visit."
"I'm in the cardiology department of the Provincial People's Hospital." Li Mingde said, "But you don't have to come and thank me specially. Saving Mr. Pei's life is also a way to repay his kindness."
"How can that be possible?" Pei Song said seriously, "You saved my life. When I recover, I will go to the hospital to present you with a banner."
Doctor Li was touched by his sincerity and left his contact information: "It's settled then. When you are fully recovered, I will treat you to a meal with Xiao Miao."
"I'd also like to trouble Dr. Li to pay more attention to his recovery." Shi Yanchen said, "I'm really lucky to meet you this time."
Zhou Feng walked in: "Boss Wei has been arrested, and the police are investigating other suspects. I have already spoken to the police on the phone, and I will keep an eye on this matter."
"Don't worry." He looked at Pei Song and said.
Pei Song nodded: "Thank you."
At this time, Su Mi pushed the door open and said, "Songsong, cousin, the luggage is ready, we can set off."
Pei Song stood up and was about to go out.
"I'll carry you downstairs." Shi Yanchen said as he was about to step forward.
"Can you please give me some face?" Pei Song said helplessly, "I have to pass through the lobby later, and so many colleagues are here."
Zhou Feng was standing aside, and his eyes darkened instantly when he heard this intimate conversation.
Su Mi noticed the change in Zhou Feng's expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Then I'll borrow a wheelchair from the hotel." Shi Yanchen pondered.
"I'll go to the front desk and ask!" Su Mi said quickly, "Senior Zhou, I just happen to have something I want to ask you, why don't you accompany me to the front desk?"
Zhou Feng was obviously relieved, and followed Su Mi out of the room quickly.
Not long after, Su Mi pushed a wheelchair over.
Shi Yanchen helped Pei Song sit up slowly, and then carefully wrapped him in a blanket.
When passing through the hotel lobby, colleagues were waiting for the bus to pick them up.
Seeing Pei Song appear in a wheelchair, everyone gathered around.
"Manager Pei, you must take care of yourself!"
"I'll treat you to hot pot when you come back!"
"Get well soon, the project cannot do without you."
Pei Song smiled at everyone: "Thank you, everyone." Although his face was still a little pale, he was obviously in much better spirits than yesterday.
As he was speaking, a team of search and rescue personnel passed by the lobby.
Pei Song's attention was immediately attracted by one of the Malinois.
The rescue dog was also looking at him, wagging its tail slightly, but soon returned to its well-trained posture.
Those warm brown eyes gave Pei Song an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"Was it this rescue dog that saved me?" he looked up and asked Shi Yanchen.
Shi Yanchen nodded: "It was this one. If it hadn't discovered your location in time..." His voice was slightly hoarse and he didn't continue.
"Can I go over and say hello to it?" Pei Song said softly.
Shi Yanchen pushed his wheelchair to the search and rescue team.
"Hello," Pei Song said to the trainer, "What's its name? Can I get close to it?"
The trainer smiled and nodded: "Of course. MAX, come here."
The sturdy Malinois immediately trotted over and sat down in front of Pei Song.
MAX seemed to understand what he said and wagged his tail even more happily.
Pei Song reached out and stroked its head: "Thank you, MAX." His voice was a little choked. "When I was at the bottom of the pit, I heard your cry and my heart was shaken. At that moment, I really rekindled my hope of life."
Looking at this scene, Shi Yanchen subconsciously tightened the handle of the wheelchair, and his throat tightened slightly.
MAX seemed to be able to sense Pei Song's emotions and gently rubbed his hand with his nose.
Pei Song touched MAX's head and asked, "How old is it?"
"MAX is four years old this year," the trainer said. "He has been on missions since he was two years old and has saved 57 people. This is his last mission before retirement."
"Are you going to retire at the age of four?" Pei Song asked in surprise, gently combing MAX's soft hair with his fingers.
The trainer sighed: "MAX was injured during a rescue operation. Although he has fully recovered, considering the intensity of the search and rescue work, we decided to retire him early."
Pei Song looked at MAX, and an idea came to his mind: "Then...can I adopt it after it retires?"
The trainer looked apologetic and said, "Sorry, someone has already applied to adopt MAX."
Pei Song's hand paused, and a hint of loss flashed in his eyes.
He forced himself to smile and said, "Yes, there must be many people who want to adopt a rescue dog as good as MAX."
Shi Yanchen stood aside, noticed the disappointment in his eyes, and kept it in mind.
"MAX," Pei Song said softly, "Although I may not see you again in the future, I will never forget you." He leaned over and kissed MAX on the head, "I hope you can have a happy retirement life."
MAX rubbed his face with his wet nose and let out a low whimper, as if saying goodbye.
"It's time to go." Shi Yanchen reminded softly.
Pei Song reluctantly withdrew his hand: "Goodbye, MAX."
MAX watched the wheelchair go away, and only looked away when Pei Song's figure disappeared in the square.
