Shen Lu was about to return to her seat when a man stopped her.
"Comrade, where did you learn that first aid technique?"
Shen Lu turned around and saw a middle-aged man in front of her who was about forty-five years old. He was about the same height as Commander Gu, with a cold face and a fierce aura.
Shen Lu wondered if it was just her imagination, but upon closer inspection, she felt that the man's features bore a slight resemblance to Commander Gu.
However, Commander Gu exuded a stronger sense of oppression, while the man in front of him possessed a more approachable demeanor and the indifference of someone who had long held a position of power.
"This method is called the Heimlich maneuver, which I happened to learn elsewhere."
Shen Lu explained that she remembered the Heimlich maneuver was invented in 1974, and now it's the 1980s, so it should be able to handle it.
"Excuse me, I'm not here for any other reason. I work at the Capital People's Hospital and am here on a business trip. I want to promote the first aid method you just mentioned in various places."
As the man spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Shen Lu.
Shen Lu took it and looked at it.
Li Xingyun, President of the Capital Hospital.
Contact information and the address of the Capital Hospital are also provided below.
The Capital People's Hospital is one of the top hospitals in the country, and the fact that this man serves as its president speaks volumes about his high status.
Shen Lu accepted the business card and responded calmly and composedly.
"Hello Dean Li, my surname is Shen. The original intention of this first aid method was to save more lives, and it is my honor to spread it to various places."
Afterwards, Shen Lu explained the steps of the Heimlich maneuver to Li Xingyun in detail.
Just as Shen Lu finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came out of the private room, looking around the state-run restaurant with anxious eyes.
Upon seeing Li Xingyun, she walked over anxiously.
"Dean, we should set off now; they're urging us to leave."
Li Xingyun's demeanor turned colder. He gave a few instructions to the middle-aged man in a deep voice and then bid farewell to Shen Lu.
"Thank you, Comrade Shen," Li Xingyun said earnestly.
"If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me, and I will do my best to help."
"You are welcome."
Shen Lu stared blankly at Li Xingyun's retreating figure, the resemblance between Li Xingyun and Commander Gu was astonishing.
This makes one wonder if there is any blood relation between the two.
"Little Deer, the way you stood up for me just now was so amazing, like a heroine!" Zhao Jingxue jogged over, her eyes sparkling, and praised her.
She only found out what had happened from people's discussions; otherwise, as a nurse, she would have rushed over immediately.
You should know that in such a critical moment, apart from the child's parents, no one dares to step in.
If something happens to the child, who knows whose responsibility it is? Wouldn't that be a huge problem?
Shen Lu not only stepped forward but also calmly rescued the child.
Shen Lu smiled and nodded, "This child is the same age as my two children. At that time, I didn't care about anything else."
After finishing her meal, Shen Lu packed a meal for the two kids and went home just as they got out of school.
Although the food at the restaurant isn't as good as my mom's cooking, it's still quite delicious to try it occasionally.
In the afternoon, Shen Lu left the family compound to prepare for work.
From a distance, Shen Lu could see Commander Gu's car parked not far away. For some reason, she had the illusion that Commander Gu had come to see her.
Before she could figure out how to casually pass by Commander Gu's car, the adjutant got out of the car and headed straight for Shen Lu.
"Ms. Lu, there's something we need your help with. Would it be convenient for you to come with us?"
Shen Lu could tell from his expression that the situation was serious, and without much hesitation, she spoke directly.
"Let's talk in the car."
Chinese people naturally have a sense of trust in soldiers.
The adjutant was surprised that Shen Lu agreed so readily and immediately opened the door to invite her into the car.
The car was moving quite fast, as if they were in a hurry.
In just a few tens of minutes, a fierce wind picked up outside the car, and dark clouds gathered, seemingly brewing a terrifying storm.
The atmosphere in the carriage was oppressive. In the back seat, besides Shen Lu, there was a doctor wearing a white coat.
Where are they going?
Shen Lu hesitated for a long time before asking the question.
"What happened?"
"That's right, the rain was too heavy yesterday, and we were just informed that the downstream dam has been washed away."
Foreign leaders evacuated this morning, but journalists from various countries were not scheduled to evacuate until the afternoon; they are currently trapped inside the venue.
"We need to rescue them. We need your help because we can't speak the language."
Shen Lu nodded in understanding.
No one spoke for the rest of the journey. After about ten minutes, the rain started pattering against the car window.
With the booming thunder, the rain intensified.
The heavy rain gradually blurred the view through the car window, and Shen Lu felt increasingly uneasy for some reason.
We arrived at the venue quickly, only to find that the upstream dam had collapsed and the first floor was already submerged.
They need to take a raft to get to the meeting place.
Shen Lu had originally planned to go to work this afternoon, so she was still wearing her business attire and leather shoes.
While boarding the raft, despite carefully watching the path beneath her feet, she still uncontrollably tripped over the waves.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of gentle yet strong hands caught her.
The warmth of the man's palm seeped through his shirt and reached Shen Lu. To keep her balance, Shen Lu instinctively grabbed the arm with its bulging veins.
Gu Xiao held onto Shen Lu until she was sitting steadily on the raft before letting go.
Realizing how intimate their actions were, Shen Lu immediately withdrew her hand.
He had no time to deal with his chaotic emotions and focused all his attention on the people who needed to be rescued.
All the foreign journalists gathered on the second floor. Although they were terrified, they still retreated in an orderly manner.
Gu Xiao handed Shen Lu a megaphone and told her.
"Translate what I have said to them."
"Okay," Shen Lu said solemnly.
"We apologize for the impact this accident has had on everyone. We have dispatched a large number of personnel to rescue you, including translators. Please feel free to contact us if you have any needs."
Gu Xiao's voice was powerful and magnetic, carrying a reassuring strength.
Shen Lu translated Commander Gu's words verbatim to everyone.
Foreigners don't care about these natural and man-made disasters. Everyone is very optimistic and doesn't complain. Instead, they all give the two a thumbs up.
The rain outside was getting heavier, and the power went out inside the clubhouse.
Shen Lu and Gu Xiao remained inside the venue to maintain order, while the other hundred or so soldiers were responsible for two tasks: first, to evacuate reporters from various countries; and second, to use sandbags to block the cascading water in an attempt to slow its flow.
At this rate, the second floor will soon be flooded as well.
