Chapter 227 Missing
Su Lingyu was stunned, then nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
Huo Yan's words hit the mark exactly. She didn't even need to find an excuse to save people. She was so happy that she didn't even have time to say no.
"But you have to be careful too. If you run out of strength, don't try to be brave and ask others to come down and rescue you." She said, her voice choking with sobs, and she grabbed his strong arm in fear, "You can't get hurt."
Huo Yan took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat, adjusted his state, raised his hand and stroked her head, his eyes gentle and firm: "Don't worry, I will."
The news that Su Lingyu was rescued quickly reached the shore, and many people felt relieved.
But there are still many people in the water, and they were the first to jump into the water to rescue Su Lingyu, so the rescue cannot stop.
Su Lingyu insisted on joining the rescue effort, and no one dared to object.
Someone advised her to get off the boat and rest, but she refused and refused to leave. Besides, her ability was particularly useful in finding people in the turbulent river.
After weighing the pros and cons, she decided that staying put was the best option.
…
Under the guidance of Su Lingyu's "intuition", more than a dozen assault boats moved forward in the direction she directed, drifting down the river. When they saw someone in need of help, they immediately threw out life buoys.
If throwing a life buoy is not enough, the soldiers on the assault boat will go into the water with the life buoy.
While they were rescuing people, Su Lingyu continued to search for Gu Yanying's location.
The time was well coordinated and there was no delay at all.
After working like this for an hour or two, we picked up seven or eight people one after another.
Most of them were "enthusiastic passers-by" who jumped into the water to save Su Lingyu. Some of them wore life jackets, or found floating objects, and luckily did not drown.
Su Lingyu expressed his gratitude to them one by one.
Occasionally, you can see one or two floating corpses of people who have unfortunately died and have been dead for a long time. Soldiers will also carry them to the shore to see if they can find the deceased's family.
However, by the time daybreak came, Su Lingyu was already exhausted and had not yet found Gu Yanying.
At first, the system was able to find Gu Yanying’s location, but his position was changing all the time, making it difficult to track him. Huo Yan went into the water several times but still couldn’t find him.
Later, the system could no longer find his location.
Not found.
I just can't find it.
It was as if he had disappeared into the boundless universe, without even a trace left.
The assault boat that Su Lingyu was on hovered on the river. It refueled twice, but it was just shuttling back and forth in vain, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
The sky brightened, Su Lingyu sat in the assault boat with her knees hugged, her face visibly pale, and her eyes had lost their former liveliness.
She stared blankly at the river, but did not dare to think about why the system could not locate Gu Yanying.
Huo Yan half-knelt behind her, holding her shoulders with his broad hands, looking at her with eyes full of worry.
It was not until Jiang Yufeng came over on another assault boat and hugged Su Lingyu and cried that Su Lingyu gradually came back to her senses.
She wanted to say sorry to Jiang Yufeng, or to comfort her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, tears rolled out of her eyes.
After several hours, she finally cried out loud, and lost consciousness due to extreme exhaustion.
…
The assault boat stopped at the shore. As the boat was shaking, Huo Yan steadily got off the boat carrying Su Lingyu and strode towards the military jeep parked on the riverbank.
After not sleeping all night, he looked dishevelled, but his steps were still steady and powerful. He held Su Lingyu's arms without moving.
Watching the car leave, Jiang Yufeng finally burst into tears. Her body swayed, and without caring about her usual decency, she sat down on the river bank, staring blankly at the endlessly flowing turbid river water.
Last night, after the rain fell into the water in Surin, most of the people on the shore were shocked.
The flare went off, and there was chaos at the scene. Some people took advantage of the chaos to try to escape.
But with a bang, a sniper hiding in the dark shot Dr. Zhang in the left leg. Then more plainclothes officers immediately took action, quickly surrounded and controlled the scene, and no one could escape.
Some people screamed and shouted, and many more were so frightened that they lost all reaction and were pushed around like wooden sculptures.
Doctor Zhang naturally conducted a rigorous interrogation.
When Su Lingyu was knocked off the riverbank, Wang Yiling and a colleague from the volunteer team moved towards Su Lingyu at the same time, and their behavior was also very suspicious.
There were also a few passers-by who looked suspicious and were "invited" to the barracks under the riverbank to be interrogated by a special person.
As the middleman who introduced Su Lingyu and Dr. Zhang to meet, she cannot escape suspicion.
After a whole night of torment, she confessed everything she could, and could not confess anything else, so she was finally let go and had time to rest.
But before she had rested for a few minutes, a soldier told her that Su Lingyu had been rescued, but was in a bad condition, and asked her to persuade him.
Worried about Su Lingyu, she ran over immediately when she heard that she was needed to comfort Su Lingyu.
But she did not expect to receive the sad news that Gu Yanying was missing.
Missing?
Missing.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yufeng's tears welled up again.
…
The news of Su Lingyu falling into the water reached the capital, and reached the ears of the Huo family, Wang Zhengkai and others.
Chen Yuxiang and Huo Xiang were extremely anxious, while Huo Jianguo was furious at the emergency meeting.
"People from the Chinese Medicine Research Institute must undergo multiple background checks before they can be employed. Who has the power to plant such a thorn in their side?!"
"They want my daughter-in-law to die. What are they afraid of? What are they afraid of my daughter-in-law finding out? Huh?!"
“…”
Huo Jianguo was furious.
What a bullshit about taking the long term view, what a bullshit about not making a surprise attack, his son and daughter-in-law have been schemed against like this, and he can't do anything about it with his hot temper.
He didn't give face to anyone, no matter if they were higher or lower in rank than him. He just said, "If I don't find out those 'worms' one by one, there will be no more prophetic letters in the future! Never again!"
He left angrily. Wang Zhengkai and Yin Hongqi looked at each other, without any surprise in their eyes.
But the other participants looked at each other with different expressions.
…
Funan.
In the hospital, Su Lingyu finally opened her eyes tiredly after sleeping for more than ten hours.
Just as she adjusted to the light in the ward, she heard the system's joyful, crying voice: [Host, you are finally awake! ]
Su Lingyu was in a trance for a moment and immediately asked: [Have you found out where Gu Yanying is? ]
