Chapter 749: Wang Anshi ran away!
Chapter 749: Wang Anshi ran away!
Morning.
Outside of the hospital’s main building.
Wang Anshi and Xue Qingrong were standing in front of Dong Xuebing. Behind them were over a hundred patients waiting there. They don’t know what to do.
Ten seconds….
Eight seconds….
Six seconds….
“Xiao Zhan! Come out now!”
“I am coming out now.”
“Hurry up!”
“Ok…. Ok….”
“Is there anyone else inside?”
“I think I am the last person inside.”
Dong Xuebing shouted with his loudhailer and heard Zhan Rourou’s reply from the second floor.
Wang Anshi and Xue Qingrong looked at Dong Xuebing, who had ignored and scolded them. Wang Anshi is going to explode. Who do you think you are?! Do you think you can ignore us just because you had saved some people and become a hero?!
Five seconds left….
Four seconds left….
Three seconds left….
Wang Anshi is shaking from anger and points at him. “Dong Xuebing!”
Xue Qingrong said. “Secretary Wang, just ignore him and ask the patients to return to the hospital. We cannot afford to delay their treatments.”
Wang Anshi nodded and ordered. “Chief Wen, get everyone back into the hospital!”
“Yes.” Wen Wei immediately shouts at the patients. “Everyone follow my orders and return….”
Before Wen Wei could finish his sentence, the ground shook. A loud rumbling sound came from the ground, and everyone lost their balance.
This aftershock was too sudden, and many people were stunned.
“Shit!”
“It’s another earthquake!”
“Run! Get out of here!”
“Look at the building!”
“Oh my god! The walls are breaking down!”
Many people saw the cracks extending quickly. One of the cracks had extended across the wall and started crumbling down. Crash…. The building started shaking, and more than a meter of the wall on the right had crashed. The ward on the right wing was crushed, and the building started to tilt to its right.
“The building is collapsing!”
“It is collapsing!”
Everyone finally realized Dong Xuebing was not lying. He is correct to say the building cannot withstand another aftershock!
Wang Anshi and Xue Qingrong’s faces changed. How did Dong Xuebing predict this correctly again?! Wang Anshi is the District’s No. 1 government official, and Dong Xuebing has embarrassed him several times.
Dong Xuebing doesn’t have time to care about what Wang Anshi is thinking. He shouted. “Xiao Zhan! Come out now!”
The only reply Dong Xuebing got from Zhan Rourou was a loud scream. “Ahhh!!!”
“What happened?”
“My leg!”
“Come out now!”
“I can’t! My leg is injured!”
The building is shaking, and windows broke, sending glass shards flying everywhere from the upper floors. Window frames and debris were falling everywhere. A window fell onto Dong Xuebing’s shoulder before he could react. He was thrown onto the floor, and blood flowed from his wounds.
It shocked everyone.
“Director Dong!”
“Ah….”
“The building cannot hold up any more!”
“Run! Director Dong! You got to run!”
“Zhan Rourou is still inside!”
“Hurry up and save her!”
Dong Xuebing is in a daze, and his strength is seeping away from his blood loss. He is getting dizzy and losing consciousness.
The hospital lobby started to tilt, and many walls had collapsed.
Rumble! Debris is falling everywhere, creating dust clouds.
The building cannot last any longer and is going to collapse soon.
Everyone’s heart stopped as they stepped away from the building. Dong Xuebing had evacuated them to a safer place, and they were safe even if the building collapsed. Now, everyone is looking at Dong Xuebing, who is bleeding and lying on the ground.
“Hurry! Go and save Xiao Dong!” Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Wu Liang shouted.
Suddenly, a car came to a screeching stop. Geng Yuehua and her secretary Ma Jian arrived. Her face changed when she saw what had happened. “Xiao Dong!”
Ma Jian shouts. “Director Dong! Someone go and save him!”
Director Sun is also shouting. “Xiao Zhan is still inside!”
But everyone is too far from the building, and they won’t get there in time.
A nurse, who had injured her leg, is still inside the building, and Dong Xuebing is lying on the ground bleeding. If the building collapse, they will be buried alive! There’s no doubt they will be dead. The building is swaying and can’t hold on any longer. The closest people to Dong Xuebing and Zhan Rourou are Wang Anshi and Xue Qingrong.
Everyone is looking at Wang Anshi and Xue Qingrong. They hope the District Party Secretary and Organization Department Chief can save their savior. If Dong Xuebing had not ordered an evacuation, they would die inside the hospital.
But at this moment, Wang Anshi made a decision that shocked everyone.
A piece of medical equipment fell from a fifth-story window. It almost hit Wang Anshi and Xue Qingrong.
The building is collapsing! Wang Anshi looks at Dong Xuebing, who is on the ground, and looks towards the lobby where the nurse is shouting for help. He took a big step and ran away from the hospital toward the other patients in the safe area. He doesn’t care about Dong Xuebing and Zhan Rourou.
Everyone is selfish in front of danger.
Wang Anshi felt Dong Xuebing and that nurse couldn’t be saved, and he will be courting death if he tried to save them. He doesn’t need to risk his life for someone unrelated to him. He noticed Geng Yuehua, Wu Liang, and other people looking at him coldly after running a few steps and realizing his mistake. He shouted at Xue Qingrong, who was running beside him. “Go and save them!”
Wang Anshi said this to cover up his mistake, creating a bigger problem.
Wang Anshi did not stop running after shouting as he was afraid the falling debris might crush him.
Xue Qingrong cursed in his heart when he heard Wang Anshi.
Why don’t you go and save them?! How can you ask me to back there?!
“Let me help you to safety first.” Xue Qingrong is scared of dying, and he doesn’t want to save Dong Xuebing. His death has nothing to do with him, and he will not risk his life for his enemy. He held Wang Anshi’s arm and ran with him.
Dong Xuebing had regained some consciousness and saw what had happened. His heart sunk to the bottom.
Wang Anshi and Xue Qingrong are two old bastards!
Everyone saw Wang Anshi and Xue Qingrong escaping by themself without saving Dong Xuebing and the injured nurse. They were angry and disappointed with them. These two are their District’s Party Secretary and Organization Department Chief! How can they do this?!
People might not think so if Wang Anshi had not ordered stop the evacuation. After all, everyone values their lives, which is normal behavior for most people. But Dong Xuebing had tried to save everyone, and these two people insisted everyone return to the hospital. They even scolded Director Dong in front of them. An aftershock happened, and the hospital building could not withstand it. This showed Director Dong is correct and Wang Anshi is wrong. Now, Dong Xuebing is injured, and Wang Anshi left him to die there without helping him!
How can a District Party Secretary do such things?!
Wang Anshi had almost killed everyone by ordering them to return to the hospital. If he had not appeared, Director Dong would have evacuated everyone from the hospital, and he will not have been injured. Wang Anshi and his men had delayed the evacuation, yet he left Dong Xuebing to die there. He doesn’t even try to amend his mistake!
Despicable!
Everyone’s eyes grew cold when they looked at Wang Anshi and Xue Qingrong.
Geng Yuehua is too angry with Wang Anshi to say anything. She pointed at them before walking quickly towards the hospital.
Ma Jian quickly stops her. “Mayor Geng, you cannot go there!”
Wu Liang could not hold back his anger and questioned Wang Anshi and Xue Qingrong. “Why didn’t you save them!?”
Wang Anshi shouted. “If I could save them, I would have done it! The walls are collapsing! How can I save them?!”
“Bullshit!” Geng Yuehua scolded. “Two people are inside!” She pushed Ma Jian’s hand away and shouted. “I will save them, and I need two people to come with me!”
Wu Liang immediately followed Geng Yuehua.
Ma Jian and a few District Government staff quickly followed.
“I will go too!”
“Me too! Director Dong had saved our lives, and we cannot be ungrateful!”
Suddenly, many residents stepped forward.
