Chapter 248 Your Injury…
Fang Lanxin's face instantly darkened.
If the media were allowed to rush in at this time, it would not only affect the rescue efforts, but could also cause even greater chaos.
"I'll handle it." She stood up and walked out.
"Madam, your injury..." Huo Wen wanted to say something, but Fang Lanxin had already walked away.
As Fang Lanxin stepped out of the warehouse, she saw a group of reporters rushing in with cameras, while firefighters desperately tried to stop them, creating a chaotic scene.
"Stop right there!"
Fang Lanxin's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.
The reporters were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her.
"Mr. Fang, what's the situation inside right now?"
"Has something happened to Kenneth Fok?"
Is the Huo Group going to collapse?
A barrage of problems came crashing down on us.
Fang Lanxin stood still, letting the camera be pointed at her.
Her face was covered in blood, her hair was disheveled, and she looked utterly wretched.
But her eyes were frighteningly calm.
"I'll only say this once," she began slowly, "The situation inside is now under control, and the leaks are being repaired one by one. Huo Qibang is fine, and all the workers are safe."
"And the injury on your face..." a reporter pointed to her forehead.
"It was an accidental bump," Fang Lanxin said casually. "If you all truly care about the Huo Group, please cooperate with the fire department and don't cause any trouble here. I will hold a press conference once everything is completely resolved, at which time you can ask me anything you want."
"But……"
"No buts." Fang Lanxin interrupted the reporter. "If you continue to cause trouble here, affecting the rescue work, and any problems arise, I will have the Huo Group's legal department have a serious talk with you."
The reporters looked at each other, then eventually left.
Fang Lanxin turned to go back to the warehouse, but suddenly felt a dizzying sensation.
Her body swayed, and she almost fell.
"Madam!" Huo Wen rushed over to support her.
"I'm fine," Fang Lanxin waved her hand, "I'm just a little dizzy."
"You've lost too much blood and need to go to the hospital immediately." Huo Wen looked at her pale face, his voice filled with concern.
"Let's talk about it after Qibang comes out," Fang Lanxin insisted.
Huo Wen wanted to persuade her further, but seeing her stubborn eyes, he finally shut his mouth.
Chapter 248 Removing the Fuel from Underground
The situation at the factory has finally stabilized.
All leaks have been located and repaired, and the danger has been temporarily averted.
Kenneth Fok led a group of dusty-looking workers out of the building, and they were immediately surrounded by people waiting outside.
"Qibang!" Old Mrs. Huo stood up shakily, tears welling up instantly.
"Mom, I'm fine." Huo Qibang quickly walked over and helped the old lady up.
Grandma Huo looked him up and down, and only after confirming that he was really alright did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Where's your mother?" she suddenly asked. "Your mother went inside to look for you, where is she?"
Huo Qibang's expression changed: "Did Grandma go in too?"
"You didn't know?" Old Mrs. Huo's eyes widened. "She went in half an hour ago!"
Huo Qibang's heart tightened suddenly.
He turned to run back, but Huo Wen stopped him: "Young Master Bang, Madam is over there."
Following the direction Huo Wen pointed, Huo Qibang saw Fang Lanxin leaning against a pillar, her face frighteningly pale.
He rushed over, calling out, "Mom!"
Fang Lanxin opened her eyes, saw her son, and forced a smile: "You're out?"
"How are you?" Huo Qibang looked at the gauze on her forehead, his eyes reddening again.
"I won't die." Fang Lanxin smiled. "But you, are you alright?"
"What could be wrong with me?" Huo Qibang's voice choked with emotion. "Mom, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were coming in. If I had known..."
"So what if I know?" Fang Lanxin interrupted him. "Would you let me in?"
Kenneth Fok remained silent.
"So, some things don't need to be explained so clearly." Fang Lanxin patted his arm. "Let's go, let's go outside first, there are a lot of people waiting."
Huo Qibang helped Fang Lanxin walk out.
Just as I reached the door, I saw Guan Da leading a group of people rushing towards me.
"Are you alright?" Guan Da looked the two men up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were both still alive.
"It's nothing," Fang Lanxin's voice was weak. "It's just that I've troubled Mr. Guan to wait outside for so long."
"Of course." Guan Da, unusually, didn't say anything harsh. "If my brother knew you were in trouble, he'd fight me to the death."
Fang Lanxin smiled but didn't reply.
Old Li and Old He also came over, and neither of the two old men looked too good.
"President Fang, a few directors came by earlier and said they need to hold an emergency board meeting," Old Li said in a low voice.
Fang Lanxin's eyes instantly turned cold: "What are they trying to do?"
"What else can we do?" Old He scoffed. "Take advantage of their misfortune."
Fang Lanxin was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Tell them to meet me in the conference room at 10:00 AM tomorrow."
"Your health..." Old Li said with some concern.
"It's nothing," Fang Lanxin waved her hand. "This little injury is nothing."
After saying that, she looked at Huo Qibang: "Go and arrange for a thorough investigation into the cause of this accident. I need to know whether it was an accident or something deliberately done."
Kenneth Fok nodded: "I've already asked Fok Man to investigate."
"Okay." Fang Lanxin took a deep breath. "Let's go home."
As the car drove out of the factory, Fang Lanxin leaned back in the back seat and closed her eyes to rest.
Kenneth Fok sat next to her, holding her hand tightly the whole time.
"Mother," he suddenly said.
"Um?"
"Thank you," Fok Kai-pong said in a low voice. "Thank you for coming to see me today."
Fang Lanxin opened her eyes and looked at her son's red eyes. Suddenly, an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.
"Silly child." She gently patted his hand. "You're my son. Who else would I turn to if not you?"
Huo Qibang's tears fell again.
This man, who was always calm and rational in front of outsiders, was now crying like a child, his shoulders trembling.
Fang Lanxin didn't say anything, but simply hugged him gently.
The car quickly arrived at the Huo family mansion.
Grandma Huo had already had dinner prepared, and when she saw the two of them return, she hurriedly went to greet them.
"Go wash up and change your clothes. I've asked the kitchen to make some soup."
Fang Lanxin nodded and returned to her room.
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror.
The gauze on his forehead was particularly noticeable, and his face was frighteningly pale.
But her gaze was more resolute than ever before.
In this life, she will protect the people she cares about.
No matter the cost.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
