Today, Mrs. Chen heard that Chen Tingting went to make peace with Xiao Li, thinking she wanted the Qin Family to forget about the unpleasantness between the two families and thus secure the cooperation opportunity this time. But now, it appears she didn’t think that way at all. Chen Tingting definitely didn’t think that way. When she sought out Xiao Li, she was sincerely there to express her gratitude, without any ulterior motives. As for cooperation, Chen Tingting never thought about taking a shortcut; she believed she could secure the partnership through competence. At the hospital, as soon as Xiao Li returned to the department, Yue Wenwen pulled her aside, "Sister, that person didn’t harm you just now, did she?" Xiao Li blinked, "Harm me in what way?" Yue Wenwen said, "I know that person is the same woman who retaliated against you a few years back during the epidemic. Her intentions are so vile. Why did you still go out with her?" Xiao Li was surprised, "Yue Wenwen, you have problems! How do you know so much?" Yue Wenwen mumbled, "What problems are there? She exposed herself online a few days ago; everyone knows about her." Xiao Li shook her head, "She didn’t even put her photo online when she exposed herself! How did you know it was her?" Yue Wenwen stammered, "That, that’s not the point, okay! The point is whether she bullied you or not!" Xiao Li shook her head, "No, she came to thank me for saving her a few years ago. I’ve told you everything you want to know; now can you tell me why you know so much?" Yue Wenwen swallowed nervously, just as she was about to speak, a tremor shook her body. Xiao Li’s eyes widened, "Earthquake." She rushed towards the ward, but as soon as she did, the shaking stopped. Yue Wenwen said, "It’s stopped." The two stood for a while, and once they confirmed the shaking had stopped, they breathed a sigh of relief. Inside the ward, patients who could get out of bed were already standing at the door. Some patients had been receiving IV drip, and in the earlier chaos, they pulled out the needles and ran, with some still bleeding from their hands. Seeing this, Xiao Li called for the nurses. The doctors and nurses busied themselves, re-inserting needles, changing medication, and after much hustle, the ward was back to normal. Once the patients were settled, they went to clean up other areas. The earlier earthquake had been quite strong, shaking things visibly, causing many items to fall. Xiao Li was helping the nurses, but then Professor Chen called her away. It turned out that the earthquake they experienced was just an aftershock; Lishan City had a major earthquake with a high magnitude, causing many buildings to collapse, trapping civilians desperately in need of rescue. Professor Chen needed to go over to provide medical support and asked if they wanted to join. Participation in the rescue effort was voluntary, and Xiao Li naturally wanted to go. After signing up, Xiao Li remembered she forgot to notify Qin Xiao. Fortunately, they all had time to go home and pack their luggage. During this time, Xiao Li called Qin Xiao, "Uncle, I’m about to set off with the team to Lishan City for the rescue. Qin Xiao firmly said, "Go ahead! Stay safe!" Xiao Li asked, "You don’t oppose me going?" Qin Xiao laughed, "Not at all, barring any accidents, we’ll meet there in a day!" "Are you going too?" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵 Qin Xiao, "As doctors, isn’t it our duty to provide support at a time ? Besides, haven’t we been doing charity work for years? Go ahead!" After hanging up, Xiao Li returned home to grab a few things. The children were not at home, so she couldn’t say goodbye to them individually. She just informed Father Qin and Mother Qin and then set off. On Qin Xiao’s side, he was organizing medical supplies. He was also going but would be a bit later because he had to bring the medical supplies. Not only medical supplies but also other necessary living supplies. In Linhai City, Basha County, the roads connecting to the county were completely collapsed. The bus was forced to stop halfway. The armed police ahead were working on clearing the roads. The medical staff on the bus got off, realizing the severe blockage ahead wasn’t going to resolve by waiting around. Professor Chen, as the team leader, communicated the situation and, upon learning that the remaining distance wasn’t far, instructed all the medical personnel to carry lightweight supplies and walk with the armed police, leaving other items on the bus to be transported once the road was cleared later. The group trudged forward, though fortunately, the county wasn’t far. As soon as they reached the county, they saw collapsed buildings everywhere, with not a single intact house in sight. Rescue workers were searching for trapped people everywhere on the streets, and some people were crying, searching for where their relatives were trapped. Seeing this scene, everyone involuntarily shivered! Until someone shouted, "Quick, there’s someone here!" Immediately, several people rushed over to help with the rescue, including Professor Chen, who ran over, and Xiao Li followed suit. But after running a little way, they found someone else, and instantly all medical personnel were busy. Xiao Li ran over to Professor Chen, who immediately said to her, "You don’t need to follow me, Xiao Li; you have a medical license and can independently treat patients. You don’t need to follow me." Xiao Li understood and quickly ran over to help others. In no time, Xiao Li’s white coat was stained in many colors: black, gray, and red. Her face was dirty from being busy, but she didn’t have time to care; there were too many people waiting to be rescued. Some with minor injuries couldn’t be attended to, so they prioritized the critical cases. "A doctor, please..." Upon hearing the call, Xiao Li tightened the bandage in her hand, instructed him not to move, and picked up her emergency kit to rush over... "What’s the situation?" "There’s someone trapped here, he has a head injury, and the debris above can’t be cleared away quickly, so before we can get him out, we need to maintain his vital signs!" Xiao Li understood instantly—they needed to keep him alive! She retrieved a saline infusion from her backpack and set it up for the trapped person, as only one hand was exposed with the head still trapped, making it impossible to bandage the head injury. There was uncertainty about the severity of the injury; a head wound could be fatal before they could rescue him. Holding the IV bag, Xiao Li stood while others around were trying to find ways to clear the debris pressing down on the man. The man’s entire body was pinned; any mishandling in shifting debris could result in secondary collapse, which would be disastrous. Xiao Li held onto the IV bag continuously, occasionally speaking with the man and gently touching his hand, monitoring his temperature and pulse. As time passed, the man’s body temperature began to drop, which worried Xiao Li. Only being able to feel his hand, the lowered temperature might be related to the IV, and to rule this out, she checked the pulse, only to be shocked. His pulse was so weak; she had to feel for a long time to detect it. Xiao Li urgently asked the man inside, "Big brother, how are you feeling now?"
