Chapter 414 You're a real man!
So it seems Ye Xiangju's husband does have some tricks up his sleeve.
How did a poor boy with no education or academic qualifications end up becoming the governor's driver?
"Even if he becomes the leader's driver, what can he do about it?"
You're a senior section chief in the provincial department.
He was just a driver.
Even if Ma Jinbu appreciates him, I believe Ma Jinbu wouldn't interfere in this matter, right?
Would a provincial governor like him offend you and your power base for the sake of a driver?
If it were me, I wouldn't have driven this car.
Ye Xiangju sighed helplessly and said, "I just said something."
He was an orphan.
Now he's become one of the governor's men.
His achievements and stature may not seem like much to you or me.
But in the eyes of many ordinary people, he has achieved a leap in social class.
He won't give up on all of this.
He told me what would happen if I divorced him.
Then... he killed my whole family.
At the very least, you have to take me with you.
He's a scoundrel, a scoundrel, capable of anything.
Think about it, in that kind of environment, how could he possibly lay a hand on a young girl like me? Is he even human?
I dare not gamble.
I don't want my parents to worry about me anymore.
So, let's just live like this...
Fortunately, this person won't interfere with my private life.
Of course, I don't care about his private life.
We are nominally in power but lack real power.
I don't plan to have children in the future.
We each live our own lives, seeing each other at most twice a year, having a meal at my parents' house, and then going our separate ways again.
Upon hearing this, Dawei immediately felt some sympathy for her.
Generally speaking, I am unwilling to get involved in other people's conflicts.
Especially marital conflicts.
Intervening means intervening in cause and effect.
But I am truly heartbroken by what happened to you.
"If I can get out, and I gain power in the future, I'll help you get rid of him—if you want to."
Ye Xiangju was moved by what she heard and hugged Dawei and kissed him again and again.
"You're a real man!"
David, with your words, my life has been worthwhile.
Three times with you is better than five years with him.
Sweet words can never be exhausted.
People outside are also busy.
Xiao Zhikai led his team and they had arrived at the intersection of the national highway leading to Xiaotang Town.
There was a landslide about 80 meters ahead.
Director Huang from the Emergency Response Office, along with his emergency response team, was not far ahead. A group of people, holding umbrellas and wearing rain boots, were constantly making phone calls, creating a chaotic scene.
Xiao Lili grabbed a raincoat, put it on, and was the first to jump out of the car.
Wu Maocai, soaked to the bone despite wearing a raincoat, came forward to greet him: "Secretary Zhikai!"
The liaison officer behind him tried to hold an umbrella for Xiao Zhikai, but Xiao Zhikai pushed him away forcefully.
The group walked toward Lao Huang from the emergency office.
What are you doing here!
Why aren't you going to rescue them yet!
As soon as Xiao Lili got out of the car, she started yelling at Director Huang.
Director Huang frowned deeply: "Minister Xiao, it's not that we don't want to save them."
Rescue is no child's play.
This is organized and has a division of labor.
The fire department has already gone up, and we'll get news soon. The city has also sent a helicopter, which will be there shortly.
What's the point of yelling at me?
Xiao Lili looked at the landslide ahead, extremely anxious: "Then what are you emergency response team doing?"
Didn't you see the road up the mountain collapsed?
Quickly send in machinery to clear the blockage!
"Now that the road is open, rescuing people will be much easier, won't it?"
Xiao Zhikai and the others arrived.
Director Huang ignored Xiao Lili and turned to Xiao Zhikai to complain: "Secretary Zhikai, it's not that we don't want to move the machinery."
It's really impossible to adjust it all at once.
The county fire brigade does not have such road repair equipment.
There are some construction team owners in the county, but with this heavy rain and such a severe landslide, they don't dare to take on this job.
They said they would only come after the rain stopped and to make sure there wouldn't be a second landslide.
Xiao Zhikai glanced at the road ahead: "It's difficult to get in from here. How about from Xiaotang Town to the location where County Chief Chen had the accident?"
"It's convenient over there, but Xiaotang Town doesn't have any road construction equipment."
They were powerless to help.
I called Mayor Zhou, and he said they have tractors, but not bulldozers.
Xiao Zhikai scanned the crowd and his gaze fell on Wu Maocai: "Director Wu, do you have Mayor Zhou's phone number? Give him a call, and I'll talk to him."
Old Wu did as instructed, dialed the number, and handed the phone to Xiao Zhikai.
"Mayor Zhou, this is Xiao Zhikai from the County Party Committee."
The situation is extremely critical.
Large equipment cannot be installed.
We can only rely on manpower.
The firefighters have already arrived at the scene. Please organize the town officials, mobilize the militia, and preferably some local residents to assist in the rescue efforts at the scene.
Many hands make light work.
Every additional person brings a greater chance of hope.
His words were earnest and sincere.
Old Zhou readily agreed.
But after hanging up the phone, they didn't do anything.
Xiao Zhikai raised his arm and shouted: "Comrades, our County Chief Chen Dawei and Director Ye from the Provincial Department are both missing and their fates are unknown."
They are our comrades.
Can we just stand by and do nothing?
Wu Maocai and Xiao Lili responded immediately.
"cannot!"
"Alright, those who are afraid of death, stay here; those who aren't, come with me!"
Xiao Zhikai was going all out.
He led the way to the landslide site, preparing to be there in person.
Xiao Lili followed closely behind, without hesitation.
Director Huang and the others had no choice but to follow behind.
It took more than ten minutes to get through the first landslide.
A series of roars came from the sky; the city's helicopters had arrived.
The group felt more confident.
Wu Maocai came to Xiao Zhikai's side and whispered, "Secretary Zhikai, calling Mayor Zhou might have the opposite effect. I think it would be safer to call Deputy Mayor Qu instead."
"Get it done right away."
Wu Maocai broke away from the crowd and called Mayor Qu to request assistance.
"Don't worry, Director Wu."
I'm already doing it.
I've organized over 90 people, and they're on their way.
Wu Maocai was immediately invigorated: "Good! County Chief Chen was right about you, well done!"
It took a lot of effort.
Xiao Zhikai and the others finally arrived at the scene of the incident.
Upon seeing the landslide, Xiao Zhikai's heart sank.
Is he even alive?
The firefighters are using shovels, hoes, and other equipment to dig the soil bit by bit.
Mayor Qu led nearly a hundred people straight there.
The women helped move the excavated soil to one side, while the men helped move stones and dig the soil.
Two people got off the helicopter, which was equipped with chainsaws and other equipment, and they cut the large tree trunk in half.
They worked like that for over an hour.
"Watch out, everyone!" a firefighter shouted. "I see the headlights!"
The deputy captain blew a whistle to direct the people on top of the vehicles to leave.
Next, the firefighters, who have more experience in rescue operations, will carry out the final rescue.
Several tree trunks were lying haphazardly on the vehicle.
Clean them one by one.
Xiao Lili gripped Wu Maocai's sleeves with both hands, watching the rescue scene nervously.
I can see the roof of the car.
"etc!"
Wu Maocai suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked at him.
"Everyone step back a little, firefighters, do you have any fabric?"
They didn't bring this.
But it's on the helicopter.
Wu Maocai directed everyone to surround the car with cloth.
Cai Ge is very thoughtful.
This is to protect the dignity of the county magistrate, and also to protect the dignity of Director Ye inside the car.
Nobody knows what happened inside, or what they'll see...
