Chapter 244 Professor Luo, Your Telegram
At the Xiaoyang Village mountain tunnel construction site, there was a tense and orderly busy scene. Like well-trained soldiers, the troops quickly devoted themselves to the arduous task of clearing the collapsed tunnel.
They were dressed in camouflage uniforms, their young faces were covered in dust, but their eyes were determined. Each of them had a common and glorious symbolic sign, "I am a soldier of the people, serving the people."
Luo Shaoqing was also covered in dust at this moment, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He struggled to move a huge stone and put it steadily into the truck, while shouting in a hoarse voice:
"Everyone, please be safe! Especially when moving these large stones, you must keep them steady to avoid secondary collapse and injuries.
Technician Luo, please notify the engineer immediately and bring the surveying technician and the structural technician over.
We have to deal with this part of the tunnel support structure urgently. We need to adopt the "New Austrian Tunneling Method" construction principle, first use steel arch frames and anchor rods for initial support to enhance the stability of the surrounding rock.
Then we quickly measured the surrounding rock pressure and deformation data to see if we needed to add a temporary invert to further stabilize the structure. The tunnel will be opened soon, and we must not allow any more accidents to happen!"
Technician Luo responded: "Okay, I'll go right away." Then he ran off to find the engineering technicians.
After hearing the order, the officers and soldiers around responded in unison and moved faster. They knew that the completion of this tunnel was of great significance to Xiaoyang Village and could not afford to be careless.
Technician Luo had already rushed off to carry out the emergency instructions issued by Luo Shaoqing.
Luo Shaoqing was concentrating on loading stones onto the truck with his comrades. With the concerted efforts of him and his comrades, the heavy stones were lifted onto the truck one by one.
At this moment, the guard came in hurriedly from outside, shouting, "Professor Luo, your phone is ringing! It's Professor Cao."
When Luo Shaoqing heard this, his originally serious and nervous expression became even more solemn. He quickly put down the stone he was carrying and stood up with a solemn face.
The pile of rocks under his feet was not stable. He climbed on it with difficulty and almost slipped several times, but he still ran quickly in the direction of the guard.
Running to the guard, Luo Shaoqing asked anxiously, "What did Professor Cao say?"
The guard was out of breath after running all the way. He tried to steady his breathing and replied, "It seems to be about the operation."
After that, the two hurriedly walked towards the built section of the road, where a temporary call station was set up. Along the way, Luo Shaoqing frowned, constantly guessing about the situation of the operation on the other end of the phone.
Arriving at the call station, Luo Shaoqing picked up the phone without hesitation and dialed back with slightly trembling fingers.
Soon, Cao Guohua's voice came from the other end of the phone. Luo Shaoqing spoke first: "Dad, what are you calling about?"
Cao Guohua's tone was a little anxious: "Shaoqing, there is a special person among the wounded, do you know?"
Luo Shaoqing replied: "I know Dad, what's his situation now?"
Cao Guohua's voice became heavier. "His condition is a little complicated. It's not what we expected. It involves some special injuries and potential risks. You should come back as soon as possible! Let's talk in detail."
Luo Shaoqing responded without any hesitation: "Okay, I understand, Dad; I'll be back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Shaoqing shouted loudly: "Qin Haibin!"
Guard Qin Haibin heard the shout and immediately ran over, stood at attention and saluted, then shouted, "Here, Professor Luo, please give me your instructions."
Luo Shaoqing said hurriedly: "Let's go back to the military hospital immediately."
Guard Qin Haibin responded loudly: "Yes!"
The two of them quickly walked to the side, where a three-wheeled motorcycle was parked. They got on the motorcycle, and the guard Qin Haibin stepped on the accelerator. The motorcycle sped towards the end of the tunnel like an arrow, raising dust all the way.
As night fell, Cui Jiani and Luo Jinxi were like two lonely boats that had been drifting in the wind and rain for a long time. They dragged their extremely tired bodies and walked towards the hospital step by step.
Their steps were heavy and slow, as if every step took them to exhaust all their strength.
Entering the hospital, the two went straight to the elevator. As the elevator slowly rose, the air around them seemed to freeze, and only the monotonous sound of the machinery running echoed in their ears.
After the elevator door opened, they walked out of the elevator and walked along the familiar corridor directly to the VIP801 ward.
Cui Jiani reached out and pushed open the door of the ward. The door hinges creaked slightly, but the scene before them still startled them.
Then Mu Xiaoji shouted in surprise as if he had suddenly seen the light of hope, "You're back?" The voice was particularly abrupt in the silent ward.
The two of them looked at Mu Xiaoji, only to see that his originally excited expression instantly dimmed when he saw their lonely expressions.
The light in Mu Xiaoji's eyes gradually extinguished, his lips trembled slightly, and he asked with a hint of luck: "Haven't you found him yet?"
Cui Jiani leaned weakly against the door frame and said tiredly: "Xiao Ji, don't be sad, let's go to the restaurant to eat something and replenish our energy. We both need energy now so that we can continue looking."
Luo Jinxi was so hungry that she was almost dying. She frowned and said to Mu Xiaoji with some dissatisfaction:
"Mu Xiaoji, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you can't be so ungrateful. Jiang Chengyu chose to be with you because he loves you, and you should cherish this relationship.
Don't hurt him without scruples just because he always indulges you, he will be sad too!"
After hearing what Luo Jinxi said, Mu Xiaoji seemed to have his soul taken away. He sat beside the bed in a daze, and said with empty eyes: "Yes, I am always like this, I forget the pain after the wound heals.
Every time I felt like I was going to lose him, I was scared to death and swore that as long as he came back to me, I would cherish him well.
But every time after a few days, I completely forgot all these vows and continued to hurt him again and again as before.
I'm a fucking asshole and I don't deserve his love."
As he spoke, Mu Xiaoji became even more agitated. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard, over and over again. His eyes were bloodshot and turned red, as if only this could alleviate the guilt in his heart.
Seeing this, Luo Jinxi rushed over and grabbed his hand to stop him from hurting himself, and said loudly: "Don't do this, there is no point in slapping him here; I'll see how you perform in the future.
If you continue like this, I will continue to pursue Jiang Chengyu. I don't believe he will hang himself on this crooked tree of yours."
When Mu Xiaoji heard Luo Jinxi's words, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head in disappointment and muttered to himself: "Yes, I know that the chance he gave me to forgive has run out. This time he must have really given up on me."
Cui Jiani came over, patted Mu Xiaoji's shoulder gently, and advised: "Luo Jinxi, he is already sad enough, don't scare him!
Xiaoji, let's go out and have something to eat. I'll take you home later, maybe he's already home!"
Mu Xiaoji seemed to have grasped the last straw and suddenly became excited. He tightly grasped Cui Jiani's hand, with hope glittering in his eyes.
Said: "Jiani, you are right, he has nowhere else to go here, he will definitely go home.
Can you please take me home right now? " His hands tightened, as if he was afraid Cui Jiani would regret it.
Cui Jiani looked at Mu Xiaoji's almost crazy eyes and said helplessly: "You can ask me to take you home, but you have to go to the restaurant with us to eat before going back. Otherwise, forget it!"
Mu Xiaoji's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Okay, let's go eat right away."
After saying that, he stood up impatiently and walked towards the door first. His unsteady steps showed that he couldn't wait to go home.
Luo Jinxi looked at Mu Xiaoji at this moment, like a panicked and helpless child. He shook his head helplessly, and then followed Cui Jiani.
The black Volkswagen driven by Cui Jiani was like a tired bird slowly returning to its nest. It drove slowly along the familiar road and into the yard of Building 108 of Jinyang Villa.
The sound of the car engine broke the silence in the yard, and the wheels made a slight sound as they rolled over the cobblestone road.
However, before the car came to a complete stop, Mu Xiaoji couldn't wait to open the door and rushed to the door like a fly.
His eyes were full of eagerness and anticipation, as if he would see the person he was worried about in the next second.
Seeing this, Luo Jinxi hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt and followed closely behind Mu Xiaoji.
Mu Xiaoji came to the door and reached out his trembling fingers to the facial recognition system. As a green light swept across his face, the door opened with a "beep".
Mu Xiaoji almost rushed into the living room by crashing into it. As soon as he entered, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Little Monster, I'm back. Are you home?"
The voice echoed in the empty living room, with a hint of panic and uneasiness. After shouting, he didn't bother to change his shoes and ran straight to the bedroom. The hurried footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet room.
He pushed open the bedroom door violently, and it hit the wall with a bang.
However, the only thing that caught his eye was the sweet photo. The smiles of the two people in the photo hurt his eyes. The curtains fluttered gently in the breeze, as if silently telling of loneliness.
The whole room was eerily quiet. Mu Xiaoji could even clearly hear his own pounding heartbeat. The "boom, boom, boom" sound seemed to be accompanying his despair.
Mu Xiaoji didn't want to believe what he saw. He turned around and ran downstairs, shouting, "Little Monster, where are you? I'm back!"
The voice was filled with tears, shuttling around every corner of the villa. He hurried toward the gym again, each step full of anticipation.
However, when he pushed open the door of the gym, all he saw was a pile of cold equipment, lifeless and without a trace of human warmth. There was no familiar figure here, no smile he expected.
Mu Xiaoji seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the treadmill dejectedly.
His eyes became empty, and the scene he had seen in the surveillance video before involuntarily emerged in his mind.
In the picture, Jiang Chengyu was standing at the door of VIP801 ward. His distraught look made his heart feel like it was being tightly grasped.
He was wearing a thin hospital gown, his bare feet stepping on the cold ground, looking so helpless.
He tried to hail a taxi, but was rejected again and again. His lonely figure looked so desolate under the street light.
As Mu Xiaoji thought about it, he felt extremely heartbroken and could no longer control his emotions. He lowered his heavy head and burst into tears. The cry echoed in the empty gym, full of regret and self-blame.
