Chapter 165: Are You Tossing Me Aside After Using Me

Huo Jinyao’s face had a threatening look. Yang Wenchang’s expression faltered.
“Three hours ago.”
The moment Yang Wenchang’s voice grew faint, Huo Jinyao’s expression turned even icier.
“It happened three hours ago and you’re only telling me now?”
“When I got the news, you were signing the contract with Director Lin.”
Huo Jinyao had shifted his attention towards Lin City for this period of time. Those who knew about it said that he was there to explore a new market, and those who didn’t know about it claimed that he was just escaping from his responsibilities.
Since that there were two particular young men in the Huo family who were eyeing his position greedily, he really didn’t want Huo Jinyao to be burdened with distractions or mistakes.
No matter what it was, Yang Wenchang’s voice became smaller when he spoke. Huo Jinyao had an ominous look and his tone of voice was not any friendlier.
“Book the fastest plane for me. As for your punishment, you had better pray that nothing happened to Qingsang. Or else—”
There was no need for him to continue. Yang Wenchang promptly replied, “I’ve already booked the flight. We can go to the airport right away”
The wrath on Huo Jinyao’s face gradually wore off as he strode towards the parking lot in big steps.
…
Although Su Qingsang escaped without very severe injuries, almost every person on the team sustained a variety of wounds from being tossed around like that.
Although none of them were fatal, almost nobody had escaped completely unscathed.
After making a call to consult the leader responsible, Deputy Director Li made the decision to go to Gaoye Town.
However, just as the group was about to follow the rescue team back to the town center of Qingyuan County, they came across a village affected by the large-scale landslide — one that caused ten or more villagers to be buried.
The rescue team was delivering aid at the fastest possible pace now. There was only one little health clinic within the area.
When the doctors and nurses of the medical team saw the situation before their eyes, they forgot about resting and assisted with the process.
Although Su Qingsang’s expertise was in gynecology and obstetrics, she still knew how to provide first aid, tend to injuries and bandage them, as this was basic knowledge to all doctors.
She couldn’t care less about entertaining Qiu Yanbo. In a simple tent built by the rescue team, she busied herself along with the rest of the doctors.
Qiu Yanbo had been sidelined. However, he didn’t feel very slighted, and instead tagged along and helped out enthusiastically.
Su Qingsang wanted to shoo him away at first but decided to say nothing when she realized that he could provide actual help.
At this moment, any pair of helping hands was exceedingly valuable.
The response of the involved department was pretty fast as well. When the night fell, half of the villagers who had been trapped were rescued. As for the others, they would continue to search for them throughout the night.
Su Qingsang was so busy that she didn’t even have time to take a sip of water, let alone have a meal.
Qiu Yanbo approached her when she finished stitching up someone’s wounds, passing her a bottle of water and a bun.
“Have something to eat first. You’ve got to keep up your strength before you can save others.”
“Thank you.” Su Qingsang was genuinely hungry, so she didn’t hold back. She accepted the bottle and took a few huge gulps.
“Be careful.” Seeing that she almost choked, Qiu Yanbo stretched his hand out and gave her back a few pats.
Su Qingsang stiffened and took a step back, glaring at Qiu Yanbo. “Thanks a lot, I’m fine.”
Qiu Yanbo gave her a sideways glance, a slightly playful expression on his face. “So, you’re just going to toss me aside after using me?”
“Whatever you say.” Su Qingsang’s voice had a tinge of iciness to it. “Since I’m a married woman, and you’re also my brother-in-law, it’s best if we keep some distance between us.”
“When I saved you, why didn’t I hear you telling me to keep my distance?”
Su Qingsang frowned. Her expression was laced with mild confusion.
“What? Aren’t you going to admit it?”
