Xiao Weiguo had a deep impression of the dilapidated van parked in the county hospital.
The vehicle was not only drafty, but once started, it was like an old, weak ox struggling to pull a dilapidated cart, making a series of clanging and rattling noises, as if it would fall apart at any moment. It was also extremely difficult to move, and its speed was heartbreakingly slow.
The doctor in front of us was right. If we really had to rely on that rickety van to take Hu Zi to the provincial capital for treatment, then Hu Zi would probably only face death.
"Brother, what do we do?"
Xiao Jian, standing to the side, was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
He gripped Xiao Weiguo's arm tightly, his face filled with anxiety, and even his forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.
After all, Xiao Jian was just a young man of eighteen or nineteen.
This was the first time in my life I had encountered such an urgent and critical situation. My mind went completely blank, and I had no idea how to deal with it.
Xiao Weiguo's face was also gloomy at this moment.
Although their company has no shortage of vehicles, they are either large trucks used for transporting goods or various kinds of small cars.
Clearly, none of these types of vehicles can be used as ambulances.
Just then, a flash of lightning seemed to strike Jiao Bai's mind, and he suddenly remembered something important.
He quickly moved closer to Xiao Weiguo, who was standing to the side, his face showing excitement and eagerness, and he lowered his voice.
"Brother! Do you remember those two Iveco vans our company bought a while ago? I'm thinking, if we remove the back seats, we might be able to convert them into very practical ambulances!"
Jiao Bai usually drives Xiao Weiguo's Crown sedan, but he also maintains a strong interest and curiosity in other types of vehicles.
Not long ago, the company purchased two imported Iveco vehicles to accommodate suppliers from other regions.
At that time, out of curiosity, Jiao Bai even personally got into the car and test drove it several times.
He clearly felt that this car was not only incredibly fast, but also exceptionally smooth, leaving a very deep impression on him.
That's why, when everyone was worried about not being able to find a suitable ambulance, Jiao Bai had a flash of inspiration and immediately thought of these two Iveco vehicles, thinking that they might be of great use.
After hearing this, Xiao Weiguo slapped his thigh and exclaimed with sudden realization, "Damn it! How could I forget such an important thing in my haste!"
In my past life, many hospitals used Iveco or similar models as ambulances!
Those cars are so practical! Not only are they incredibly fast, but they also drive exceptionally smoothly.
More importantly, its interior space is very spacious; even if a stretcher is placed inside, and several medical staff sit on both sides, it won't feel crowded at all.
Thinking of this, Xiao Weiguo immediately turned to Jiao Bai and said urgently, "Quick! Jiao Bai, you need to go back to our company right now and find the drivers. Tell them to remove all the seats from the car and drive it to the hospital as soon as possible. You have to be quick. If there are any parts that are difficult to remove, just saw them off. Don't let this delay you!"
Jiao Bai didn't hesitate at all and quickly replied, "Okay!"
He then pulled the keys to his Crown car from his pocket and dashed downstairs like an arrow.
"Doctor, please begin preparations immediately!"
After sending Jiao Bai to drive the Ivik, Xiao Weiguo immediately gave the order with a solemn expression.
"Please make sure you have everything you need ready. If you need anything, just let me know. Money is not an issue. My only request is that you make sure my brother arrives at the provincial hospital safely."
The doctor, fully aware of Chairman Xiao's anxiety and the importance of the injured person to him, nodded without hesitation.
"Please rest assured, Chairman Xiao, we will do our best. I will start arranging the accompanying personnel now, and I will personally escort the injured to the provincial hospital."
After saying that, he quickly turned and left, busily organizing the relevant matters.
In fact, the reason why this doctor made this decision so decisively was not only because of Xiao Weiguo's identity and requirements.
It was also out of a strong sense of responsibility for Hu Zi's life and safety.
After all, he was the surgeon who performed Tiger's operation, and he knew Tiger's basic injuries very well.
If he personally accompanies Hu Zi to the provincial hospital, they can skip many tedious and repetitive examinations upon arrival, thus gaining more precious time for Hu Zi's rescue.
Otherwise, given Tiger's current critical condition, the chances of him being able to hold on are extremely slim.
Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps echoed down the corridor.
A young girl, covered in sweat, stumbled in. She was carrying a flashlight, her clothes were disheveled, and she looked completely covered in dust and dirt.
"Big brother, Jian-ge, how's Hu-zi?"
Her voice was extremely anxious, and she was panting heavily, clearly exhausted from the journey.
"Mengjie!"
The two brothers turned around and saw that it was Xiao Feng's daughter, Xiao Mengjie, who had always lived in the same courtyard as Hu Zi and Xiao Jian.
"Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
Xiao Weiguo was shocked when he saw her appearance.
It's past three in the morning, and it's pitch black outside. How did Xiao Mengjie, a girl of sixteen or seventeen, manage to run all the way from Xiaotun?
It's important to know that Xiaotun is about 20 kilometers away from the county seat, and there's a section of road in between that's in very poor condition, with most places lacking even a street light.
"I heard there was an accident at the textile factory. Brother Hu was seriously injured and was taken to the county hospital by Brother Jian. I rode my bicycle here right away. Where is my brother Hu? Is he alright?"
As Xiao Mengjie breathed heavily, she looked at the Xiao brothers with expectant eyes, as if she was afraid of hearing a bad answer from them.
"Mengjie, did you encounter some danger on the road?"
Xiao Weiguo looked at him, covered in dust and with disheveled clothes, and asked in surprise.
"No."
Xiao Mengjie waved the flashlight in her hand and continued.
"My flashlight ran out of power halfway there, so I couldn't see the road and I fell a few times, but I'm fine. Brother Weiguo, how is Hu Zi?"
Xiao Weiguo was relieved to see that she seemed to be alright.
"Tiger's injuries are quite serious. Our county hospital can't treat him. He needs to be transferred to a major hospital in the provincial capital immediately."
"ah?!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mengjie couldn't help but shudder.
