Having achieved financial freedom, I reorganized my workplace.

Chapter 92 Rescue Operation

Chapter 91 Rescue Operation

The floodwaters, like a brutal hand, tore open the mountainside, turning the villages at its foot into a vast swamp overnight.

That night, Lin Chen tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

He sincerely hoped that nothing would happen at the Wushan water station. He knew better than anyone that if something did happen, it would be devastating and irreversible.

Around four in the morning, my phone finally rang.

It's Tang Xin.

Her voice was almost trembling: "Lin Chen, Wushan Water Station—something really happened."

At that moment, Lin Chen felt a strange mix of emotions, as if something had suddenly died, or something had been brutally torn apart. He simply replied, "Oh."

Twenty minutes later, Lin Chen returned to the company. The entire building was brightly lit, chaotic, and in complete disarray.

The expressions on everyone's faces were no longer simply panic, but a deep-seated terror.

Everyone knows what the Wushan Water Station means.

Tan Huasheng was nowhere to be found. Lin Chen could guess with his toes that he was probably still lying in some woman's arms, dreaming of a promotion and a raise.

Having received an advance warning from Lin Chen, Song Jiehui was extra cautious tonight. Upon receiving the notification, he immediately rushed back to the company and began deploying disaster relief efforts. He appeared completely calm and composed, directing operations with remarkable confidence, which reassured Lin Chen and the others somewhat.

Around 4 o'clock, Song Jiehui, along with Lin Chen and Tang Xin, rushed to Wushan Water Station.

As soon as the car entered the highway, Song Jiehui's phone rang.

It was once glorious.

Zeng Huihuang's voice carried a deliberately suppressed fear: "Song Jiehui, what exactly is the situation at Wushan Water Station?"

I heard there was a serious breach in the dike, and the situation is very serious?

Song Jiehui felt a wave of helplessness—the news spread faster than a flood. He could only cautiously reply, "President Zeng, I'm currently on my way to the Wushan water station. I'm not yet clear on the specific situation on site, but I will report to you as soon as I arrive."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Huihuang immediately flew into a rage: "Comrade Song Jiehui, more than half an hour has passed since the accident, and you're telling me you don't know anything about it? Your work style and efficiency really need improvement!"

Lin Chen, sitting in the back row, couldn't help but laugh—how could he even criticize that? Even if Song Jiehui had wings, he couldn't fly to the water station right now.

Song Jiehui's face was extremely grim, but he still forced a smile: "President Zeng's criticism is correct. However, I rushed back to the company to handle it as soon as I received the notification, without daring to delay for even a second. Rest assured, I will get to the scene as quickly as possible and handle it properly."

Zeng Huihuang's tone softened considerably, but he still maintained his superior demeanor: "Comrade Song Jiehui, I may have been a little too hasty just now, and I apologize. However, I was once the head of the Suixian Company, and I have a deep affection for the people of Suixian. I am very concerned about the safety of the people. So when I heard that the Wushan Water Station had breached its banks, I really couldn't believe it. Now I have only one request for you: rush to the accident site immediately, take all necessary and unnecessary measures, do everything you can to plug the breach, and at the same time, quickly launch rescue work to ensure that there are no casualties."

No casualties?

is it possible?

Unless a miracle occurs.

Song Jiehui nodded quickly: "President Zeng, please rest assured, I will definitely follow your instructions and do my best to carry out disaster relief and rescue, and minimize casualties."

Zeng Huihuang nodded in satisfaction, then lowered his voice and mysteriously instructed, "Comrade Song Jiehui, once you arrive at the scene, you must be careful to protect it. You know, the incident itself may not be so scary, but it's scary if people spread rumors and report things indiscriminately. You know what I mean?"

Song Jiehui paused for a second, then immediately replied, "Understood, President Zeng, I will definitely follow your instructions. However, with such a major accident and disaster, even if our company doesn't report it, it probably can't be kept secret. The news will be flying around as soon as it gets light."

Zeng Huihuang dismissed it: "I know. Rumors circulating outside are just rumors, they have no factual basis. Our company must have a clear understanding that we must pay attention to maintaining social stability and not cause public panic. When something happens, we must deal with it calmly and correctly. If it's a man-made accident, it's a man-made accident; if it's a natural disaster, it's a natural disaster."

The words are beautifully written and the logic is rigorous, but they have little to do with human lives.

Song Jiehui: "Okay."

Zeng Huihuang: "That's all for now. I'll head over right away. We can discuss some things in person. You must do a good job in flood relief and disaster relief."

After hanging up the phone, Song Jiehui's face was so dark it could drip water. Lin Chen even heard him mutter, "Damn it, you set up this water station, and now I'm cleaning up your mess, and you're still throwing a tantrum."

Seeing that Song Jiehui had hung up the phone, Tang Xin immediately reported happily, "President Song, we just received the latest news: the nearby residents received an early warning from the water station and most of them have already evacuated. A small number have also moved to higher ground. Although they are trapped, they are not in great danger. Judging from this situation, there should be few casualties."

Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief; this was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Song Jiehui also turned to look at Lin Chen, his tone filled with obvious gratitude: "Lin Chen, we really owe you a lot this time. If you hadn't insisted that Wushan Water Station was in danger and notified the nearby residents to evacuate in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Lin Chen didn't respond, only gave a wry smile. Tang Xin then realized that the source of all this was Lin Chen. No wonder the county's flood control team leader said that their company had produced a great hero.

She was stunned for a moment, then a hint of shock flashed in her beautiful eyes, followed by undisguised admiration, even a touch of—worship.

This man, who usually seems quiet and unassuming, always seems to be going against her or even doing things behind her back, which is both painful and pleasurable.

But on matters of principle and life and death, he was absolutely unambiguous, even at the risk of being accused of "alarmism" and "creating panic," and he single-handedly pulled many people back from the brink of death.

You might find this kind of person annoying, stubborn, and inflexible in ordinary times, but when faced with real storms, they are more reliable than anyone else.

Tang Xin took a deep breath, forcing herself to suppress this somewhat dangerous emotion, and continued her work report: "According to Ma Boyang's latest report, one of the water station's employees tried to carry out rescue operations after the incident and was swept away by the floodwaters. His fate is currently unknown."

Upon hearing this, Song Jiehui's face darkened, and he sternly said to the driver, "Old Liu, drive faster!"

The car sped forward wildly in the rainy night, the windshield wipers like two frantic hands, desperately trying to clear away the curtain of water in front of it.

Lin Chen, sitting in the back row, didn't feel any "enjoyment" at all.

He saved someone, that's true, and he might be recognized for his meritorious service, which is quite possible.

But he knew in his heart that all of this could have been avoided.

If someone had listened to his advice back then, even if it was just to conduct a proper safety assessment of the water station, this disaster might not have happened.

But reality is so ironic.

Everyone is waiting for an accident to prove him right.

Tang Xin turned her head and glanced at Lin Chen.

Under the dim car lights, Lin Chen's profile was still clearly defined, but his expression was indifferent, revealing little emotion.

Tang Xin didn't say anything, but silently stuck out her big butt and moved closer to Lin Chen.

The car went up the mountain and was very bumpy. Her big butt rubbed against Lin Chen's body, which felt very arousing.
