Chapter 348 - 349: Two Men
"The mudslide destroyed the signal tower, so it seems they must not be far from the disaster area." He raised his hand to comfortingly pat Leng Zimo’s shoulder and casually pulled on his arm, "Let’s go, we’ll talk more on the plane!"
Next to them, the helicopter was already in position.
Both men boarded the helicopter, and one of Leng Zimo’s subordinates immediately handed over two headsets.
Leng Zirui took the headsets, gave one to Leng Zimo, and then put the other one on his head before speaking into the microphone, "My men have already headed to the disaster area to work on restoring communication, don’t worry. I’ve just received a detailed report, and the village in that area you mentioned isn’t a heavily affected zone. It must be just a temporary loss of contact."
"I know the address there; when the time comes, help me arrange a helicopter," Leng Zimo said.
"Alright!" Leng Zirui nodded, then gave the pilot the command, "Take off!"
The helicopter ascended and flew towards Sichuan.

After over an hour of travel, the car finally made it back to Garze County Town and went straight to the County People’s Hospital.
Luo Xiaoqian rushed out to open the car door, and Doctor Song carried Xiao Mei into the emergency room.
"I’m a doctor; prepare for surgery immediately. She has acute appendicitis, and I’ve already given her anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing injections. Her condition is quite serious now!" Doctor Song loudly informed the doctors who came to meet them about Xiao Mei’s condition, and the emergency room staff instantly got busy.
"I’ll handle the hospital admission procedures!" Luo Xiaoqian turned and dashed to the admissions office, "Name: Zhou Xiaomei, girl, eight years old, acute appendicitis, currently in the emergency room preparing for surgery..."
The registration staff prepared the medical record and hospital card, "A deposit of 5000!"
"Okay!" Luo Xiaoqian promptly answered, then suddenly realized something, "Wait a second, I’ll get the money..."
Having arrived so urgently, she hadn’t brought anything with her, including money for the deposit. She could only hope that Yu Tong or one of the others had brought some money.
"Is this enough?!"
Before she could turn around, an arm extended from behind her and placed a stack of cash on the payment counter.
"Thank you, I’ll pay you back as soon as I can!" She quickly collected the cash and handed it to the cashier with a word of thanks to Jiao Yang, who was lazily leaning against the counter.
After completing the admission procedures, Luo Xiaoqian rushed back to the emergency room, where she only saw the driver treating his wounds.
"Xiao Mei has been taken to the operating room, on the third floor!" The driver explained immediately upon seeing her.
She ran up to the third floor, and sure enough, outside the operating room, she found Doctor Song and Yu Tong waiting.
"Doctor Song, she won’t be in any danger, right?" She approached, her eyes fixated on the lit operating room as she asked with concern.
"Don’t worry, it’s not a major illness. She only fainted from the fever; she’ll be fine, trust me!" Doctor Song reassured her with a smile, "You’ve been through a lot, why don’t you sit down and rest for a bit?"
Luo Xiaoqian was finally a bit relieved and moved to sit down, but as she did, she caught sight of Jiao Yang taking off his suit jacket to offer it to her.
"No need, really!" She quickly waved her hands to refuse.
But Jiao Yang draped the jacket over her shoulders without another word, "How did you end up here?"
Given the urgency of their situation, he had not yet asked about her circumstances.
"I came for the ’Delivering Books to the Mountain’ event, and just by chance, this kid fell ill. On the drive here, we also encountered a mudslide!" Luo Xiaoqian briefly shared the situation and then smiled in gratitude, "Fortunately, I met you!"
