Chapter 106: The Man of Utmost Importance

Facing the fierce wind and rain, the ladder sways incessantly at a height of over forty meters; it is very likely to snap at the waist. If rescue personnel or those being rescued fall from that height because of it, the chance of death is very high.

Seeing the rescue personnel halt their work and even withdraw the ladder, Xiao Yuchun and the others instantly became anxious.

"Dad, my dad is still up there—how can you stop the rescue?" Seeing this, Xiao Jingrou also burst into tears instantly.

At this moment, Xiao Yuchun felt extreme regret: "It's all my fault, my fault…"

No one blamed her, but Xiao Yuchun blamed herself terribly; if she could switch places, she would rather be the one trapped above.

"I'll go urge them, to see when the helicopter can arrive." Xie Lingyu seemed the most rational, but she also worried deeply about that man in her heart.

As she walked, she looked up at the sky, holding back tears; her hand at her side kept trembling.

That man is the one she loves most in her life; he gave her everything she has now, he made her who she is, and he occupies her whole heart.

For Xiao Yuchun, Xiao Jingrou, and Xiao Yunzhe, it is the same.

Before recognizing Xiao Ming, they had tasted enough of life's bitterness; after recognizing him, Xiao Ming gave them the warmest paternal love in the world, giving them everything.

But right now, that man who is crucial to them is pacing outside Yanwangdian; they watch helplessly, every minute and second filled with the anguish of fearing loss, it's agonizing.

……

"Huff, this Xiao Ming…" At this moment, Mr. Yang was also anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

If Xiao Ming cannot be saved, for him it's all harm and no benefit; just considering Xiao Ming's status alone puts him in an extremely difficult position.

Just a few minutes ago, a call came from Quecheng; that call struck like a thunderbolt on Mr. Yang's head. The caller was an elderly man whom Mr. Yang greatly respected; the old man said nothing else, but solemnly ordered: "Spare no expense, we must rescue Xiao Ming."

After ending the call, Mr. Yang's heart felt extremely heavy; what should he do?

Looking at the weather, so unfavorable for rescue, if Xiao Ming meets with mishap, how should he explain to that person in Quecheng?

That person in Quecheng personally called, which shows how important Xiao Ming is; if something happens on his turf, he definitely won't get away with it.

Originally Xiao Ming could have been rescued right away, but his saying "Save the women and children first" left him stranded up there for so long.

Just as they were about to reach him, it started raining then, forcing the ladder rescue to stop, and Xiao Ming remained trapped above—this is practically deadly.

Still, although he felt helpless, he also greatly admired Xiao Ming's decision to save the women and children first.

No wonder that person in Quecheng personally called to insist on rescuing Xiao Ming no matter what; someone like Xiao Ming, who is wealthy and yet has such upright values—how many are there?

The rescue effort continued, and after more than ten minutes in the downpour, a helicopter arrived above the amusement park; inside were three or four highly skilled rescue team members.

Rescue personnel lowered ropes from the air, the rescuers put on rainproof goggles, and descended from the helicopter to where Xiao Ming and the others were trapped.

"Mr. Xiao, we've come to rescue you," a rescue team member shouted loudly to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming merely nodded weakly; at this point he had no more strength left—hours had passed since he was trapped, and he had finally waited for the people who came to rescue him.

Then the rescue personnel secured Xiao Ming with a safety rope, put on a rainproof oxygen mask, and under the escort of specialized rescuers, the helicopter flew to the prepared site for placing the rescued visitors, lowering Xiao Ming down.

After landing on the ground, Xiao Ming had long lost the strength to support himself; he went limp and was caught by medical staff.

At the same time, Xiao Jingrou, Xiao Yuchun, and Xiao Yunzhe brothers and sisters ran desperately toward Xiao Ming.

"Dad, wuu-wuu-wuu, you're finally rescued!" Xiao Yuchun cried hysterically, rushed over and flung herself onto Xiao Ming, constantly apologizing, saying sorry.

"Yuchun, don't cry, Dad isn't back?"

Xiao Ming forced out a smile, looking at the several anxious faces opposite him: "Don't be sad, I'm back."

After saying that, he lost consciousness.

Medical staff rushed forward and put Xiao Ming on the ambulance; the doctor explained to Xiao Yunzhe and his siblings that Xiao Ming had been trapped for so long, his nerves remained tense, and his trapped posture also kept him in a state of oxygen deprivation,

Now that he was suddenly rescued, his nerves relaxed, oxygen instantly became sufficient, and fainting is normal.

Nevertheless, Xiao Yunzhe and his siblings were still worried to the extreme, and they hurriedly followed the ambulance to the hospital.

All the way, Xiao Jingrou and Xiao Yuchun were crying.

"Phew, we finally managed to rescue the in‑laws—scared the life out of me." At this moment, Geng Jing Shu's whole family felt the stone in their hearts finally drop.

However, since the person was unconscious, they still weren't fully reassured, so they hurriedly drove to the hospital as well.

As for those rescue personnel, after handing Xiao Ming over to the medical staff, they immediately returned to rescue the other trapped visitors.

Later they heard that the last person rescued was a young man in his early twenties, reportedly a university student.

When rescued, he was already unconscious, his condition very poor, and he was swiftly taken onto the ambulance.

Finally, in this accident, all the trapped people were rescued; tens of thousands of netizens and everyone present truly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Night!

Anjin Zhongxin Yiyuan.

Inside the super VIP ward.

Xiao Ming sat at the head of the hospital bed; at this point his body had mostly recovered, but he was completely limp and lacked strength.

Xiao Jingrou stayed constantly by his side, offering all kinds of thoughtful care.

He actually had no serious problem; it was just severe physical exhaustion plus oxygen deprivation that caused the coma. After being rushed to the hospital and given nutrients, his body gradually recovered about half.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yuchun had waited for him in the downpour for over an hour to see him rescued, and after bearing such great mental pressure, once he woke up and she confirmed he was fine, the little girl fainted the very next second.

But it's nothing serious—just a fever and cold. At this moment she lay in the bed beside him; after taking medicine her fever subsided, and with proper rest she'll be fine.
