However, she also knew that in the event of a major disaster like this, the police would also respond. She just had to find the Public Security Bureau and ask where Gong Mufeng's rescue team was.
Lin Yuexi walked quickly towards the Public Security Bureau. Along the way, she kept avoiding the stagnant water and debris on the road.
When we arrived at the Public Security Bureau, we saw people coming and going inside, the sound of telephones ringing and conversations interweaving together, and the police officers were walking hurriedly, busy coordinating disaster relief work.
Lin Yuexi took a deep breath, walked towards a police officer who was busy recording, and said politely and eagerly: "Hello, comrade! I want to find the wife of Brigade Commander Gong who is participating in the disaster relief. Can you tell me where his station is?"
The policeman was buried in the piles of documents and various disaster reports on the table. Hearing Lin Yuexi's anxious question, he subconsciously raised his head.
The moment his eyes met Lin Yuexi, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and with a bit of surprise and confusion in his tone, he blurted out: "Are you the wife of Brigade Commander Gong?"
Lin Yuexi was extremely anxious. Every second of delay made her feel uneasy. She nodded vigorously, her voice trembling slightly, "Yes, I am, comrade. I want to know the news about my husband Gong Mufeng. How is he now?"
"Then please follow me. Our director is about to send someone to look for Brigade Commander Gong..."
After the policeman finished speaking, he quickly stood up, sorted out the documents on the table, motioned Lin Yuexi to follow him, and then strode towards the second floor of the bureau.
Seeing this, Lin Yuexi hurriedly followed. The two of them hurried up the stairs. The corridor on the second floor was filled with the sound of ringing telephones and people talking and discussing disaster relief plans. It was a busy scene.
The policeman stopped in front of a half-open door, raised his hand and knocked on it, and pushed the door open after getting a response.
Inside the room, the director was standing in front of a huge map of the disaster-stricken South City, discussing something with several staff members with a serious expression.
Seeing the police bringing Lin Yuexi in, the director was slightly startled, "You are..."
The police officer replied for her, "Director Chen, this is Brigade Commander Gong. He has come all the way from Beijing to look for Brigade Commander Gong..."
Upon hearing this, Director Chen came over quickly, and said with respect and concern on his face, "Mrs. Gong, don't worry. We have obtained some clues and are preparing to increase the search efforts. Brigade Commander Gong disappeared while saving people, and we will do our best to find him."
After Director Chen finished speaking, he turned around and pointed to several areas marked with red circles on the map, and explained to Lin Yuexi in detail: "According to the information we have received, Liujiadong in Qingyan Lake is the area most severely affected by the disaster. It was there that Brigade Commander Gong was washed away by the flood while trying to save a child.
Our police force has been deployed to various areas to conduct carpet searches, and is constantly communicating and coordinating with other rescue teams."
Lin Yuexi listened to the director's story, her eyes fixed on the map, tears welling up in her eyes.
She suppressed her emotions, took a deep breath and said, "Director, I also want to help find him. I am not afraid of danger. As long as we can find Mu Feng quickly, I am willing to do anything."
The director looked at Lin Yuexi and said, "Mrs. Gong, I know you are not an ordinary person, but participating in the rescue is not fun, you should not go..."
Lin Yuexi said without hesitation, "Director Chen, let me go! Don't worry, I'm in good physical condition and won't hold you back..."
Seeing Lin Yuexi's insistence, Director Chen thought for a moment and nodded, "Mrs. Gong, since you are so determined, let's arrange a team of experienced police officers to go with you! We need to keep in touch at all times. You must also pay attention to safety and retreat immediately if there is any emergency."
Soon, everything was ready. Lin Yuexi followed a team of young and capable police officers into the police car and rushed towards the Liujiadong area of Qingyan Lake, which was the worst hit.
Along the way, the roadsides were filled with the tragic scenes left by the flood, collapsed houses, and destroyed bridges. Every scene hurt Lin Yuexi's heart.
She clasped her hands tightly together and placed them on her knees, praying in her heart that she could find Gong Mufeng as soon as possible.
The police car stopped in front of a village that was mostly submerged by floods. After getting off the car, the police officer quickly contacted the local rescue team to obtain the latest search information.
Lin Yuexi also jumped out of the car and walked towards where the rescue workers were gathered, regardless of the fact that the water was up to her ankles.
At this moment, a shout came from not far away: "It seems that a trapped person has been found here, and he looks like a rescue worker!"
When Lin Yuexi heard the shout, her heart suddenly shrank. Almost instantly, she ran towards the source of the sound, completely ignoring the mud and rushing water under her feet.
The accumulated water kept pulling at her legs, making every step extremely difficult, but there was only determination in her eyes, a determination that she wanted to find Gong Mufeng at all costs.
A number of rescue workers have gathered at the scene and are approaching the trapped people cautiously.
Lin Yuexi squeezed through the crowd and saw a figure trapped in a corner of a collapsed house by the flood.
She was about to rush over, but was stopped by the police officer next to her. The police officer said solemnly, "Mrs. Gong, don't be impulsive. The situation at the scene is still unclear. It may be dangerous if you rush over."
Rescuers quickly took action, using professional tools to clear the surrounding debris and try to open up a safe passage.
Lin Yuexi stood aside, extremely anxious, her hands unconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes, not daring to take her eyes off the figure for a moment.
Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the rescuers, a passage was successfully opened. They moved quickly and carefully to transfer the trapped people to a safe area.
Lin Yuexi was extremely anxious. She rushed to the man at the speed of wind. When she got closer, her expectation turned into disappointment in an instant. The trapped person turned out to be Gao Lechuan.
Lin Yuexi was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and opened her mouth to ask anxiously about Gao Lechuan and Gong Mufeng's situation.
Gao Lechuan raised his eyelids with difficulty. Although his eyes were unfocused, he still recognized Lin Yuexi at a glance.
At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were cracked and chapped, and he looked weak and powerless, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.
When Lin Yuexi saw this, she quickly blocked people's sight with her left hand while no one was paying attention, took out a small cup of spiritual spring water from the space with her mind, and quickly fed it to Gao Lechuan with her right hand.
After a while, Gao Lechuan used up all his strength and said to Lin Yuexi, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry... I tried my best, but I still couldn't stop Brother Gong from going to save people himself.
At that time, the water flow was too fast. I watched him and the child being washed away by the flood. I stretched out my hands and tried hard to pull them out, but the power of the flood was too great. I couldn't pull them out at all..."
