“Su Yan!”
Old Zhang’s eyes brimmed with tears of anxiety, his head feeling as if struck by a stone, as he rushed over.
He had watched Su Yan grow up since childhood and felt a deep affection for the child.
Although he loved to play, he wasn't bad-hearted and was quite respectful to elders!
If anything happened to Su Yan, he would never have peace of mind for the rest of his life.
At this moment, Su Yan’s pants were already burned, and even his shirt had several black holes.
He felt a sharp pain from his back, so excruciating that it tore at his heart and lungs, and he could no longer hold on, falling freely to the ground.
Pfft~
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth, splattering the child in his arms.
The child jolted awake from the violent impact, feeling warm liquid on her face.
She subconsciously touched the bloodstains on her face, and seeing it was blood, she started crying loudly.
The girl watched him continuously spitting blood, her tears and snot flowing together in distress: “Uncle, you’re bleeding so much, Guoguo will help you wipe it, it’ll be fine once it’s clean…”
She raised her chubby little hands, like a tiny adult, continuously wiping the blood from his mouth, but no matter how much she wiped, it wouldn’t come clean!
“Uncle, does it hurt a lot~ I’ll hug you, it won’t hurt if I hug you~”
She opened her short little arms, wrapped them around his neck, and patted his head, giving him what little warmth she could.
Tear drops, like beans, fell from her eyes, each one landing forcefully on Su Yan’s cheek, making his face burn hot and red.
Seeing her so obedient and sensible, Su Yan, who was about to cough up another mouthful of blood, endured the discomfort and swallowed it back down.
At this moment, he felt very tired, extremely tired, too tired to hold on.
The moment he closed his eyes, he recalled the situation from his previous life.
The same disaster relief, the same severe injuries!
But this time, would he be lucky enough to wake up again?
If he couldn’t come back, would he transmigrate to another world?
The surrounding crowd rushed over, bringing various types of water to extinguish the fire on him, some anxiously calling 120.
Everyone was in a panic!
The military and the people are like fish and water!
While the military cares for the common people, the common people also care for them.
········
Hospital!
People surged outside the corridor, doctors and nurses carried medicine, constantly walking back and forth, their hurried footsteps echoing in the corridor.
Old Zhang anxiously paced back and forth outside, occasionally looking towards the operating room, his eyes full of worry.
Just then, his phone rang!
It was Su Jianguo calling!
Old Zhang stared at the caller ID, his face covered in cold sweat, he was both angry and anxious.
He had called a full fifty times just now, all went to voicemail, even the secretary’s phone was off.
However, given the gravity of the situation, even if he had complaints, even if he was scolded, or even demoted, he had to answer this call.
He collected his thoughts and said in a low voice: “Hello! Boss!”
Su Jianguo immediately unleashed a barrage over the phone: “I was in an international meeting just now.”
“Why are you calling so many times, did that kid run away?”
“Didn’t I tell you, if he runs away, you break his legs! That kid is timid, he would never dare to resist!”
“Boss~ Third Young Master didn’t run away!” Old Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, his voice choked with emotion.
“Something happened to him, something big happened! I just sent you an address on WeChat, hurry over…”
“Something… something happened?” Su Jianguo’s head buzzed, and he asked anxiously, “What happened?”
Old Zhang briefly explained the whole story, and after listening, Su Jianguo’s eyes went dark, his head felt like it had exploded, the pain was excruciating.
A moment later, he composed himself and shouted anxiously towards the door: “Quick! Get the car ready! To the hospital immediately!”
… … …
The scene of the fire rescue was also captured by kind-hearted citizens and uploaded to various online platforms.
“A fire broke out in a xxx building, a Liberation Army Comrade bravely rushed into the sea of fire to save people.”
“With his own strength, he rescued all the trapped people, and then the gas exploded violently, the hero’s life is in critical condition and he is currently being rescued in the hospital!”
“Let’s give a thumbs up to these lovely national heroes! Salute!”
For a time, this explosive news spread across various Kuaishou, Xigua, and Douyin platforms, immediately topping today’s headlines, with netizens leaving comments one after another.
“Reliable source, this Liberation Army Comrade is also a rich second-generation.”
“A rich second-generation not squandering his wealth, but risking his life for military honors? Truly commendable courage!”
“No matter what generation of rich he is, at this moment, he is super cool!”
“Let’s all pray for the hero’s safe return to his unit! And a successful recovery!”
“Salute to the most courageous and fearless soldiers of Dragon Country!”
“Soldiers will always be the pillars of our motherland, standing tall and firm!”
At this moment, every citizen felt the same, silently praying for Su Yan!
… … …
Southeast Theater Command!
Regimental Office!
“Regimental Commander, Regimental Commander!”
New Recruit Company Commander Gao Qiang rushed in, shouting as he did so.
Fan Zhongde reprimanded him with a cold face: “What are you yelling about in the middle of the day?”
“Anyone who didn’t know would think you were wailing at a funeral.”
Gao Qiang said with a belly full of grievances: “Regimental Commander, I heard that a connected person will be joining our New Recruit Company today?”
Fan Zhongde glared at him, frowning, and said: “What connected person, watch your words!”
“If they give him to you, just take him, why so much nonsense!”
Gao Qiang argued defiantly: “Regimental Commander, you know that I hate people who use connections the most.”
“These connected people are either pampered young masters or effeminate men who can’t endure hardship.”
“They’re useless at everything, but first place at dragging others down!”
“Such people entering the military can easily be a rotten apple spoiling the barrel, lowering the overall standard of the entire team.”
Fan Zhongde asked with a cold face: “What exactly do you want to say?”
Gao Qiang paused, stammering: “Can you… talk to the higher-ups and withdraw this order!”
Bang!
Fan Zhongde’s face darkened, and he slapped the table, pointing at Gao Qiang’s nose and reprimanding angrily: “Gao Qiang, Gao Qiang! You’re something else! Your wings have grown hard, you even dare to defy military orders now!”
“Don’t think that just because you have someone backing you, you can run wild!”
Gao Qiang suddenly looked up and quickly explained: “Regimental Commander, I didn’t~ I just wanted to try and see if we couldn’t…”
“No!” Before he could finish, Fan Zhongde interrupted him with a cold face, “I’m telling you, this order has already been issued, it’s impossible to withdraw it!”
“As a Company Commander, don’t you understand that military orders are like mountains?”
“How a soldier turns out is also up to you all who train them, no one is born a good soldier.”
“You!” Fan Zhongde pointed at him, “When you first joined the military, you had a head full of curly yellow hair, and you used to race cars, ride ghost fires, and pick up girls in internet cafes!”
Gao Qiang awkwardly lowered his head and said in a low voice: “Regimental Commander, those dark histories are all in the past, let’s not bring them up…”
“Oh, oh, oh~” Fan Zhongde sneered, raising an eyebrow as he looked at him: “You don’t like it when it’s about you?”
“You were a punk back then, but now haven’t you been forged into a tough steel man by the military?”
“What, only you can do it, others can’t?”
“I…” Gao Qiang was momentarily speechless, but still stubbornly said, “Regimental Commander, there are differences between people!”
“Enough!” Fan Zhongde raised his hand and snorted coldly, “I don’t want to hear a bunch of your excuses.”
“You haven’t even tried, and you’ve already condemned a new recruit to death, is this something a Company Commander should do?”
Gao Qiang lowered his head in shame, no longer speaking!
Ring, ring, ring~
Just then, the phone rang!
Fan Zhongde picked up the phone without hesitation: “Hello! This is Fan Zhongde!”
“What?!” He instantly stood up! “Good! I’ll be right there!”
Seeing his drastic change in expression, Gao Qiang asked anxiously: “Regimental Commander, what’s wrong? What’s so urgent?”
Fan Zhongde picked up his hat and put it on, scoffing: “That new recruit you mentioned is in the hospital, I need to go to the hospital now!”
With that, he ignored the surprised Gao Qiang behind him and strode out.
“In the hospital?” Gao Qiang looked bewildered: “He hasn’t even reported yet and he’s already in the hospital? This truly is a marvel in the New Recruit Company.”
He quickly chased after him: “Regimental Commander, Regimental Commander, what exactly happened to him?”
But by the time he reached the door, Fan Zhongde was already gone.
