Chapter 42: Chapter 42: How Come I Didn’t Know I Became Someone’s Family Member

Watt?

The food he had just picked up fell right back into the box.

Lu Jing’s whole person also went ’clang clang’.

"Family member?"

Since when did he become someone’s family member?

Damn!

Jiang Ye, you’ve got guts!

Pretty ruthless of you!

He threw his phone into the drawer, out of sight, out of mind.

Just then, the fire brigade diagonally opposite dispatched seven or eight fire trucks in rapid succession, the sharp and prolonged siren wailing, the frequency so high it made one’s heart clench.

The situation must be serious to roll out seven or eight fire trucks at once.

Lu Jing’s heart ’skipped a beat’, and just at that moment, before he had the chance to tuck his phone away, a new message popped up.

Date: June 18th.

Location: A fire broke out at the Nanxi City logistics base, suspected chemical spill is the cause, the blaze is immense, with personnel trapped, urgent rescue needed.

After seeing this freshly released news, his mind went blank.

Everyone knows how dangerous a chemical leak can be.

Suddenly, his chest felt as if something was stuffing it, pressing down, squeezing tightly, so tight it was hard to breathe, his hands and feet ice cold.

News of firefighters getting injured was quite common, they were really in danger, every call out was a gamble with their lives.

Just like what Lai Xingchen had said before, if luck was on your side, you survived, if not, then it was out of your hands...

He had been grinding his teeth with hatred when he had called earlier, but now, all he felt was worry and nervousness.

Lu Jing despised himself for feeling this way, clenching his fists several times before tremblingly unlocking his phone.

He had meant to call directly, but suddenly remembered the number was blacklisted.

He pursed his lips and retrieved the number.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he typed out a few words in a text message and sent it.

However, this message, once sent, seemed to disappear into the void, going unanswered for a long time.

...

Within minutes, the fire trucks arrived at the blazing logistics base.

The scene was chaotic, with dense smoke billowing, cries and calls for help were incessant.

As soon as the firefighters arrived, they launched into action, splitting into two groups, one to extinguish the fire, the other to search for trapped personnel.

Jiang Ye, still with his arm in a cast, joined the rescue effort.

At that moment, his minor injuries were the least of his concerns.

After all, lives were at stake.

"Captain Jiang, don’t go, your arm hasn’t healed yet," a team member cautioned.

"What are you babbling about? This injury is nothing, focus on the rescue!"

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, trapped personnel were being rescued one after another.

Ambulances from 120 were already on standby not far away, ready to transport people to the nearest hospital.

...

Nanxi University Affiliated Hospital also received the mission orders.

But they were all for the emergency department.

Lu Jing’s department hadn’t received any news yet.

Sometimes, the lack of news was the most worrying.

Never underestimate people’s imagination, otherwise, why would there be instances of people scaring themselves to death?

Lu Jing spent the entire afternoon feeling restless and anxious, his mind never settling down.

He only perked up to consult with patients that came in.

But when he had downtime, he would start overthinking uncontrollably.

Unable to bear it any longer, he left the office.

However, no sooner had he stepped out than he heard Lai Xingchen’s swearing from the next ward.

"Fuck their grandmother, why didn’t they declare the explosives upfront? Are only their lives valuable, and not the lives of us firefighters?"
