l."Ho Shao-ting frowned."You live right here, don't you You said you were going to the hotel"He remembered Wen Man disliked hotels very much, and she was obviously angry with him now.Ho Shao-ting lowe...Zhang Chongguang couldn't sleep any longer.
He quickly sat up and got dressed. Since his leg injury, he hadn't been able to move this fast. His leg usually ached, but perhaps because he was at his limit, he broke through his physical constraints. At that moment, he didn't feel any discomfort or pain when moving.
He buckled his belt and walked out, quickly went downstairs, and dialed Huo Xi's assistant on the way.
The assistant woke up from her sleep: "Oh, I didn't go to City T."
Zhang Chongguang entered the garage, opened a car and sat in. He held his phone for a moment and said: "Can you check her schedule for today"
"Some, some."
The assistant immediately checked and within a minute sent Zhang Chongguang a reply: "In the evening, Lawyer Huo called to say he was going to check out the local opera house, saying it might be related to the case."
Give me the location! Contact the hotel where Ho Xi is staying, and stay in touch.
……
Zhang Chongguang said the last four words, his voice noticeably suppressed. He resisted, restraining himself as much as possible before trying to speak calmly: " Huo Xi might be in serious trouble! Help me... contact my parents, and if necessary, immediately arrange a helicopter rescue. Also, find two doctors and a hospital with an operating room and tell them that Huo Xi is O-positive blood type."
He hung up the phone and believed in Huo Xi's assistant's ability.
Zhang Chongguang didn't hesitate at all and started the car. The doctor had told him it was best not to drive, but going to City T by car was the fastest way now.
Darkness, enveloping everything.
Zhang Chongguang drove his black Range Rover out of the garage and sped westward... He was driving faster than he ever had.
As he drove, the news story he had just seen flashed through his mind.
A century-old building in the city of T collapsed suddenly late at night. Luckily, there were no tourists inside.
"Ho-si… might be in there."
For a moment, he entered the highway. Streetlights beside the road continuously flickered past him as he gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands... His knuckles had turned white from the force.
Meanwhile, Hsi assistant called.
She had arranged everything and drove to city T, because she still couldn't get in touch with Huo Xi. It wasn't just her; Huo Shaoting, Wen Man, and even Lu You, who was staying at home, went with her.
The first to arrive in city T was Zhang Chongguang.
When his car pulled up to the opera house, it was 4:00 AM.
Night, illuminating countless lights.
Over a hundred people began the search and rescue effort, search dogs constantly sniffing around, looking for signs of life... Zhang Chongguang stopped his car and jumped out.
He dialed Huo Xi's number on his phone, but the phone rang without any sound.
"It's too deep," said an old man.
Zhang Chongguang stood before the toppled building. The area was teeming with people, a mix of rescuers and onlookers who had come from nearby, whispering amongst themselves.
"I heard his wife had an accident and was buried underneath."
He looks quite respectable and wealthy.
They should have been quite loving, it's a shame. Buried so deep like this, they definitely wouldn't have survived. Not even dogs could smell them.
……
Zhang Chongguang listened blankly.
He didn't argue or refute, he just wanted to find Ho Xi now.
He continued to call her.
He longed to hear any sound, no matter how faint... After several attempts, someone shouted: "Here! Here! There's light, a light from a phone."
Zhang Chongguang immediately ran over.
I could only see a small arched opening where the leftmost staircase of the building had collapsed. A faint light, about two meters deep, flickered from within. It was Huo Xi's phone.
The search and rescue dog was also found, lying there sniffing non-stop. The captain said in a calm voice: "He is injured and bleeding!"
He started directing the large crane to lift things.
Lin looked at him and said, "If you go in now, what if it collapses again"
Then I'll die with her.
"Nonsense! Are you rich people not afraid of death at all This isn't a joke..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Chongguang took off his coat.
He took a flashlight from someone, put on his safety helmet, and crawled inside.
Team Lin pointed at him: "Drag him out."
Lin Team was about to go in himself, when Zhang Chongguang's voice rang out clearly: "I said, if anything happens, I will die with her! We have three children to raise, but our parents are still alive, and there are many brothers and sisters who can help take care of them, but...but my wife is the only one, and now the only one who can go in to save her is me."
Zhang Chongguang said, he gently touched the hemostatic enzyme in his trouser pocket.
Keep climbing inside.
The hole was very small and narrow, getting narrower the deeper he went. His legs were almost pressed flat against the ground as he squeezed through, his left leg soon becoming unbearably hot from the friction. But he didn't care; all that mattered was seeing Huo Xi quickly, to see if she was alive.
……
The metallic scent grew stronger, his heart hammering against his ribs.
But his gaze remained unwavering.
He firmly believes that Huo Xi is still alive because they had made plans with her. She told them she would come back and they were going to register their marriage. She said she wanted to scold him, and that afterwards they would go see a psychologist together. She mentioned having so many sexy lingerie waiting for him to admire.
The gap was getting narrower and narrower. Zhang Chongguang dared not push against the top, he could only press down with all his might.
Blood flowed continuously from her thigh.
...stained the dark ground red. ...
Outside, Lin team's eyes reddened, he spat out a few words: "Rich people are really sick!"
Then he said, "Hold on! Wait for him... wait for him a few minutes." Perhaps that man, truly, could save his wife. Perhaps a miracle could really happen.
……
Although it was only a few meters, Zhang Chongguang felt like he had climbed for a century.
He reached for Ho Xi's phone, and another meter forward, his fingers brushed hers... It was cool with a hint of warmth. When he felt her pulse, he almost wept from joy.
Huo Xi is still alive!
But he also touched the wet ground... Hoshi had bled a lot.
She could be going into shock.
Inside, Zhang Chongguang painstakingly fished out hemostatic enzymes from his pocket, pinching two and fumbling them into Huo Xi's mouth. Unable to swallow, he used his hand to shove them in.
She coughed violently, as if waking from a deep slumber, and mumbled unclearly, “Zhang Chongguang.”
“It’s me! Ho Xi… it’s me.”
Zhang Chongguang touched her face, his voice trembling: "I'm here! Don't speak, I'll take you out."
Ho-xi's voice was weak: "We can't get out."
Zhang Chongguang groped, bumping into her slightly cold lips: "It's doable, trust me."
In the darkness, no one can see anyone.
But when she opened her eyes, she felt his gaze was clear... Huo Xi looked up at her, and as soon as she spoke, she felt like her throat was on fire, and she was so weak that she could barely stand. She whispered, "Zhang Chongguang, I want to tell you..." always remained calm and gentle, lacking the temper she used to have.Compared to her composure, Huo Shaoting was becoming increasingly discontent.He'd rather she be angry with him!Even a slap in the...
