Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 787 Someone above knows you
The ground commander, well-versed in emergency protocols, picked up the walkie-talkie:
"Inform the flight squadron to prepare for landing and rescue."
"Yes!"
Ground rescue was no longer an option; they had to rely on air rescue.
It seemed that was the best choice now.
In the air...
Jiang Ye was momentarily stunned when he received the order.
He almost thought he had misheard.
Once he had collected himself, he abruptly maneuvered the controls.
Familiar enough not to need to look, he could precisely operate this recently developed aircraft.
What no one knew was that the Jiang Family had funded most of the plane’s development.
Even many of the engineers were from the Jiang Family.
So, it was hardly surprising.
...
In the forest, several people were huddled in a tent, sheltering from the rain.
Suddenly, Yu exclaimed excitedly:
"Doctor Lu, Uncle, listen, a plane is landing!"
???
This was something everyone had long hoped for, to the point where they had almost given up hope.
"How is that possible?" Lu Jing murmured in response.
The plane would have landed earlier if it were possible, right?
Hadn’t there been planes flying overhead or circling since morning?
But had anyone ever seen a plane actually land?
The answer was: no!
Now, Yu also began to doubt himself.
"Um, Doctor Lu, should we go out and look for a way again?" he asked.
Lu Jing looked around at their surroundings:
"Let’s wait until the rain stops."
Going out now, it was questionable if they could find their way back.
Hadn’t even the village elder been cautious about wandering out at such a time?
"Okay then."
It was a reluctant compromise; who would foolishly seek their own death?
Yet, this time the sound of the propeller really was getting louder and closer.
The few people under the tent stared up, their faces displaying disbelief.
"This..."
"Damn..."
None of them could complete a sentence in their excitement.
Except for the village chief, the three people quickly stood up; if not for the heavy rain outside, they really would have dashed out.
Soon, a helicopter landed in an open space about thirty to forty meters ahead, approximately three meters above the ground, and the cabin door slid open.
After the door opened, one by one, four people jumped down.
Yu frantically waved his hand:
"We are here, this way, this way!"
All four naturally saw Lu Jing and the others. One of them spoke into a walkie-talkie, then quickly ran toward them.
*Click*
The four uniformed individuals were now standing in front of Lu Jing and the others. The leading man looked them over carefully:
"Doctor Lu?"
Huh?
He knows me?
Just then, Yu asked:
"Doctor Lu, do you know this comrade?"
Lu Jing shook his head; no, he was quite sure he did not know him.
The man merely hooked his lip and gestured toward the helicopter:
"Up there, someone knows Doctor Lu."
Oh?
Lu Jing glanced toward the helicopter; though he couldn’t see inside, he felt as if a pair of familiar eyes were watching him.
Could it be...
Sheesh!
His heart thudded violently, and his left hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.
The leading man, modest yet skilled, had already gone with his three comrades to help the village chief.
Lu Jing took a while, but finally collected himself.
"Uncle, Yu, let’s pack up and go."
The plane was here; what was the point of staying any longer?
It was Yu, who had been excited before, who seemed not yet to have realized what was happening, completely bewildered.
"Ah? Go? Are we really going?" he asked incredulously.
