Chapter 172: She’s Truly Beside Herself With Worry
Lu Qiaoge decided not to stop him.
Otherwise, finding an excuse would really be trouble, after all, communications are not smooth now, and the Neighborhood Committee still doesn’t know what happened at the Mine.
But even if they knew, this matter might not necessarily require her to handle it.
Moreover, Ding Jianshe going to the Mine now is pretty good, he can clarify the issue face-to-face with Ge Rong right away.
As long as there is no coercive behavior here, Ding Jianshe will not face imprisonment.
Moreover, he and Ge Rong will have to face each other sooner or later.
She would go to the hospital.
The kind that couldn’t be delayed.
At this time, Ding Jianshe’s ashen expression seemed to reignite with hope, but the matter at hand was pressing.
So he didn’t know what to say and could only be pulled by Chen Ying toward the Neighborhood Committee Main Entrance.
Lu Qiaoge turned and walked toward Director Hu’s Office. The Neighborhood Committee’s office environment was actually very rudimentary, all uniform old bungalows. Because it was summer, the windows were all open. Old Hu saw Lu Qiaoge talking to Ding Jianshe and didn’t pay attention, but now seeing Lu Qiaoge coming over, he asked: “What’s up?”
Lu Qiaoge said without blushing or panting: “Director Hu, I request an hour off to go to the hospital. My head hurts a bit, I need to get some pain relief tablets.”
There was nothing difficult about this, especially since the one requesting leave was Lu Qiaoge.
Old Hu glanced at the weather and said: “Go ahead, don’t forget to take a raincoat, it might rain soon.”
Lu Qiaoge agreed, ran to the window of the General Office, had Sister Qiao hand her the raincoat from inside, and quickly rode her bicycle toward the hospital.
Although she was riding very fast, Lu Qiaoge’s mind wasn’t idle.
Everything else was fine, but why was the Mine Security Department conducting door-to-door screening for no reason?
She had told Qin Hengzhi about this.
She had also told him about the nonexistent person who called her.
Lu Qiaoge’s glance shifted slightly. If Qin Hengzhi didn’t have this level of vigilance, he wouldn’t have made it to where he was today.
It might be a screening arranged by Qin Hengzhi.
She just didn’t expect human nature to be so vicious. Even after Ding Jianshe knew, Ge Rong still dared to strike deadly blows. The little yellow dog said such situations had happened not once or twice.
Its little master was often beaten unconscious.
Gouzi this child was just like wild grass, hoping he could pull through this time.
In her random thoughts, Lu Qiaoge soon arrived at the Staff Hospital.
The Emergency Room was on the first floor to the north, and at that moment, someone who seemed to be from the Mine Security Department was waiting at the doorway.
When Lu Qiaoge took the raincoat, she had Xiao Cangcang, who liked to stay on the big tree in the Neighborhood Committee backyard, go to the hospital first to check on Chen Gou and the little yellow dog.
Pigeons and sparrows, even the calico cat, couldn’t go near the Emergency Room.
But Xiao Cangcang could.
When it flew, aside from its extremely fast speed, it made almost no sound.
Even if someone saw it, they would think they were seeing things.
At this time, Xiao Cangcang told Lu Qiaoge that Chen Gou was still being rescued; it had heard it from the nurse, because the Emergency Room environment didn’t allow it to fly around.
The little yellow dog still had one breath left. At the time, Chen Gou was holding the little yellow dog tightly, and it took everyone a lot of effort to separate them.
Now the little yellow dog had been placed on the grassland in the backyard, and its wounds had been treated.
This was already done very well, after all, this wasn’t a person, it was a little dog.
Lu Qiaoge glanced toward the Emergency Room. Taking advantage of no one noticing, she went around the corridor, opened the back window, jumped into the backyard, went around a big tree, and saw that the little yellow dog’s head was facing the direction of the Emergency Room.
Xiao Cangcang flew over following her, urgently shouting: 【Little Yellow, wake up quick, the little fairy is here to save you!】
Lu Qiaoge didn’t hear any inner voice, nor the little yellow dog’s bark.
She quickly walked over, squatted down, placed her hand on it—good, still breathing.
Lu Qiaoge placed both hands on the little yellow dog, and streams of gentle, warm energy slowly flowed into the little yellow dog’s body.
After a few breaths, the little yellow dog moved, struggled to open its eyes, and seeing it was actually Lu Qiaoge, looked at her with pleading eyes, its eyes wet and glistening as if crying.
Lu Qiaoge wiped its tears.
Other little dogs might tear up to clean their eyes or due to inflammation or something, but the little yellow dog was truly crying.
【Lit…tle… fairy, save… my… little master, please.】
Lu Qiaoge said softly: “He’s being rescued in the Emergency Room, he’ll be fine.”
【If… I… die… bury me, then tell… little master I’m fine… I’m good, say I went with a master who gives me meat bones to eat… please little fairy, don’t tell him I died.】
The sad little yellow dog whimpered and cried.
Lu Qiaoge sensed it, reached out to pat its head, and said softly: “Alright, don’t cry. With me here, you’ll be fine. Come, try to see if you can stand up?”
At first the inner voice was intermittent, but later it became smooth.
Xiao Cangcang landed on its ear and shouted loudly: 【My little master gave you so much spiritual energy, why aren’t you getting up quick?】
Lu Qiaoge: “…”
Ever since she could understand animals’ inner voices, she had been utterly heartbroken.
Meanwhile, Qin Hengzhi’s secretary Xiao Su brought documents to the Research Institute.
Their Representative Qin was tireless, stayed up half the night then went out for a round, slept three hours, then led the morning exercise after it ended, and came to the Research Institute again.
Xiao Su thought to himself, once Representative Qin gets married, he probably won’t work so hard, right?
He reported to Qin Hengzhi, who was reviewing the research progress report: “…Screening reached Chen Kangning’s home, right then his wife Ge Rong was beating the child. Security Department stopped it on the spot, but unexpectedly after inspection, the child was already unconscious, still holding a little yellow dog and not letting go… Before I came, I called the hospital, that kid is still being rescued.”
Qin Hengzhi put down the documents in his hand. Little yellow dog?
He asked Xiao Su: “What about that little yellow dog?”
Xiao Su was stunned, not understanding why Representative Qin was asking about the little dog.
He really didn’t know this.
Xiao Su said: “Probably dead and thrown away, but definitely not in the Emergency Room. Regiment Qin, should we intervene?”
Qin Hengzhi’s gaze darkened slightly, and after a few breaths, he said: “No need, Security Department will handle it.”
Wondering what his little partner was doing now?
She seemed to have an unusual perception of animals.
At this time, Lu Qiaoge watched the little yellow dog stagger to its feet and breathed a sigh of relief. She reached out to stroke the little dog’s head: “Let’s leave here first.”
The little yellow dog’s eyes were full of sparkling lights, nodding vigorously. The little fairy was its lifesaver; whatever she said, it would do.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t go back the way she came; she took the little yellow dog out through the small door in the back.
She circled around and returned to the main door.
Lu Qiaoge was worried about the little yellow dog but couldn’t possibly bring it into the hospital. She looked around and spotted the sneaky Sun Da Tian and Xiao Tao.
