Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 216 Shi Yue is still waiting for you at home, did you hear it? He Yang!

In a tense yet orderly atmosphere, the members of the Flying Tigers were like precision mechanical parts, able to cooperate with each other tacitly without much words.

The sunlight shone through the sparse leaves, dappled onto their resolute faces. Sweat slid down their foreheads, but no one cared.

The leading team member had eyes as sharp as an eagle. He jumped onto the tree trunk first, his body as light as a monkey jumping in the jungle.

He assessed his surroundings, selected the safest route, and gestured to the rest of the team to follow.

The ropes shuttled between the branches, firmly fixing the stretcher.

Then, with everyone's concerted efforts, the stretcher slowly descended.

"Hold on! Slow down!"

The voice of Wei Hua, the captain of the Flying Tigers, was deep and powerful. He kept a close eye on the speed at which the stretcher was descending and held the rope tightly with both hands, fearing any accidents.

As the stretcher slowly touched the ground, other members quickly gathered around.

Deputy team leader Lu Qian directed the team members to fetch a pot of clean water. He gently picked up He Yang's weak body and let He Yang's head rest gently on his shoulder. Then, he carefully pointed the spout of the pot at He Yang's cracked lips and let the clean water moisten them drop by drop.

Every drop of water that fell was like the sweet rain from the fountain of life, bringing a bit of moisture and hope to He Yang's almost exhausted vitality.

He Guoping, a father who is usually dignified and calm, could no longer hide his inner worry and anxiety at this moment.

He touched He Yang's hot forehead, and his big hands, which had experienced countless storms, were trembling slightly at this moment.

His eyes were red, and his voice was choked with sobs that he couldn't suppress it:

"He Yang, my good son, you must not sleep..."

"Son, you must hold on a little longer!"

"Shi Yue is still waiting for you at home, did you hear that? He Yang!"

"He Yang..."

"..."

At the same time, Zhu Xiaonan, deputy chief of staff and team doctor, conducted a preliminary examination of He Yang's injuries.

Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed unquestionable concentration and seriousness.

When she saw the festering wound on He Yang's shoulder, she took out an antibiotic from the first aid kit and injected it into He Yang skillfully.

As the medicine was slowly pushed in, He Yang's tightly furrowed brows trembled slightly, revealing some discomfort.

He opened his eyes slightly and said to Zhu Xiaonan in a weak and slightly teasing tone:

"Sister Nan, why are you still so rough? An injection hurts more than a gunshot."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaonan couldn't help but smile.

As she continued to rebandage He Yang's wound, she replied, "You still have the energy to talk nonsense to me, it seems like it doesn't hurt."

After bandaging, she stood up, looked at the team members behind her and instructed: "Carry He Yang to the car."

......

In the solemn conference hall, soft lights fall on the long conference table like drizzle.

Xie Jincheng sat upright in the main seat, his posture straight, his face stern, his eyes fixed on the mine manager, and he listened solemnly to his comprehensive assessment report on the collapse accident.

The hands of the clock hanging on the wall moved slowly in silence, and every time they touched the clock face, a crisp ticking sound was heard.

This monotonous and rhythmic sound echoed in the conference room, as if silently urging the passage of time.

The mine manager analyzed in detail the possible causes of the accident, as well as the emergency measures and follow-up plans that have been taken.

His words included a profound analysis of the cause of the accident, decisive decisions on emergency measures, and careful arrangements for subsequent handling plans.

Xie Jincheng couldn't help but lean forward slightly, folded his hands on the table, and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

His eyes followed the other person's every gesture, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, carefully evaluating every detail from the mine manager's mouth.

Just as the meeting was halfway through and the discussion about the mine collapse accident was reaching a heated stage, an abrupt cell phone ring broke the atmosphere in the room.

Xie Jincheng almost subconsciously reached out his hand quickly and grabbed the phone on the table accurately.

His eyes paused slightly when he scanned the caller ID on the screen, and then an unconcealable look of anxiety quickly spread in his eyes.

He quickly stood up and waved his hand gently to everyone present, "Please suspend the meeting for a moment. I have a call."

After saying this, without waiting for anyone to react, he turned around and strode out of the conference room.

After passing through the spacious and bright corridor decorated with simple lines, he came to the relatively quiet corridor outside the door.

This place is far away from the noise in the conference hall, with only the occasional sound of footsteps coming from afar.

Standing at the end of the aisle, Xie Jincheng took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner anxiety and uneasiness, and then pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Director He."

Xie Jincheng's voice rang out in the quiet corridor. He held the phone tightly and asked anxiously, "Did you find He Yang?"

There was a noisy background noise coming from the other end of the phone, mixed with the unique roar of a helicopter.

The sound seemed to be able to penetrate the telephone line and hit Xie Jincheng's eardrum directly.

He frowned slightly, trying to distinguish the other person's voice from the noise.

"Jin Cheng, thanks to you this time, I was able to find He Yang so quickly."

He Guoping's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, with a hint of fatigue and gratitude.

Xie Jincheng felt relieved when he heard this: "These are all trivial matters. As long as we can find He Yang, everything will be worth it. By the way, how is He Yang doing?"

"He was shot in the shoulder, the wound was infected, and he had multiple abrasions on his body."

He Guoping's voice was heavy. "The team doctor said the situation is not optimistic and he needs to return home for surgery immediately. I have the helicopter ready and we are ready to go now."

Xie Jincheng's heart sank suddenly, and he replied: "Okay, then you must tell me as soon as the operation is over."

"Don't worry, I will."

He Guoping promised, "As for Qianhe's matter, you don't have to worry too much. Captain Wei from the Flying Tigers will be at your park today. They will assist you in handling all matters. I believe that with them around, everything will go much more smoothly."

"Thank you, Director He."

"Okay, we'll be leaving first. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Let's keep the lines open."
