Chapter 47 Please Don't Give Up the Search and Rescue
Ji Sisi's name echoed through the sky, startling the birds in the nearby trees into flight.

Huang Qiaomei smiled and reminded An Jing to announce the scores. Once the scores were announced, everything would be settled.

"Ji Sisi scored 90 points, Gu Xinyi scored 78 points, and Guo Xiaolan scored 75 points..."

Guo Xiaolan walked up to Ji Sisi with a serious expression, "I admit defeat to you."

"Ji Sisi, you are really amazing. You are beautiful and smart. When I went on stage just now, my voice was shaking, but you were not nervous at all. Director Qi is so lucky to have married you."

Gu Xinyi took the initiative to come over and get to know Ji Sisi.

At first, when her husband mentioned that Director Qi had married a beautiful woman, she didn't think much of it, believing that even the best men are visual creatures and subconsciously regarded Ji Sisi as just a pretty face.

So she came to participate without reviewing anything, and her overconfidence and underestimation of her opponents led to too many problems. It's no wonder she lost.

After the exams ended, the excitement died down, and the onlookers scattered like birds and beasts. Huang Qiaomei kept Ji Sisi behind.

"Sisi, you're so amazing! I really like you, and you haven't disappointed me."

Huang Qiaomei spoke her mind, "From now on, you will be the village secretary's liaison. Your job is to relay messages to him. It's tedious, but very simple. The salary is fifteen yuan a month. The secretary and the director are going to a meeting in the county these two days, and they may not be back for another two days. Come to my house at seven o'clock the day after tomorrow, and I will take you there on my bike."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Qiaomei. I'll come to your house on time the day after tomorrow."

Ji Sisi didn't stand on ceremony. The courtyard was four kilometers away from the locust trees, and she wasn't the kind of person who would suffer for the sake of saving face.

As Ji Sisi walked back, she couldn't help but wonder if Qi Yan would be happy for her if he came back and found out. She was determined to tell him what had happened that day.

It's been a week since he left. In the book, he has already died in an accident, but there has been no news from the hospital. Could it be that he has escaped this calamity?

Ji Sisi's expression turned serious, her bright eyes instantly dimmed, and her face was filled with worry.

Qi Yan, we promised to get married when you come back, you have to come back!

Ji Sisi unconsciously clenched her fists.

Gona City People's Hospital

Lin Miao's eyes were red and swollen, with tears welling up in them. She sat in front of the bed and wiped Lin Peifeng's face.

"You brat, didn't you hate me the most? Didn't you complain that I meddle with you? Why did you take a knife for me? Don't think that this will make me forgive you for stealing my things to give to your female classmates."

"But if you wake up now, I can consider not taking care of you or bullying you anymore. As long as you wake up, I will never bully you again."

Lin Miao continued talking to herself, tears streaming down her face, the scalding tears landing on Lin Peifeng's hand.

Seeing that the person on the hospital bed was unresponsive, Lin Miao couldn't forget the day the accident happened, and her emotions collapsed again.

"Lin Peifeng, wake up right now! You're my brother, I should be protecting you! Why are you meddling in other people's business, you idiot? I beg you, please wake up..."

Lin Miao lay down beside him, sobbing uncontrollably.

"The person lying here should be me, not you..."

Zhao Jianshe stood outside the ward, his eyes welling up with tears.

"Report: We still haven't found Director Qi and Team Leader Fang. The organization has sent a telegram urging us to proceed to the destination for test flights as soon as possible. We can't afford to waste any more time."

Zhao Jianshe had a gloomy face, his eyes fixed on the distance, deep in thought.

Three days ago, just after they left Gona City, while they were handing over with relevant personnel from other cities, all the vehicles suddenly had tire blowouts. Everyone's attention was drawn to the vehicles, and he took most of the people to check the tires and conduct a thorough investigation.

Unexpectedly, the group's target was the research institute's people. By the time they realized what was happening, the institute's people were already severely injured, and Qi Yan and Fang Shiming had disappeared. The institute's people, having lost their leader and suffering serious injuries, were devastated both physically and mentally, and could only receive treatment at a nearby hospital.

Zhao Jianshe felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Why did he take so many people with him? The things were important, but the people who developed them were even more important.

It was his decision that gave that group of people the opportunity to act, and it was also his fault that Qi Yan and Fang Shiming were harmed.

Zhao Jianshe clenched his fists, the veins on his forearms bulging, as he tried his best to control his emotions.

"I understand. Take some people to check the items, and once you've confirmed everything is okay, set off this afternoon."

"Then... what about Director Qi and Team Leader Fang?"

Lin Miao, who should have been inside weeping, appeared at the door of the ward at some point.

Lin Miao sobbed, her eyes flashing with despair and disbelief as she looked at Zhao Jianshe.

"Battalion Commander Zhao, what do you mean by this? We still need two more people, and you're leaving already? Do you know that the two missing people are waiting for their newlywed wives, whom they just got their marriage certificates with a week ago? If you give up the search now, have you even thought about them?"

"Qi Yan and Fang Shiming are key personnel in the research and development. If the test flight is missing these two, the results may not be as smooth as you expect."

Lin Miao desperately tried to prove to Zhao Jianshe the importance of Qi Yan and Fang Shiming, hoping to prevent them from giving up the search and rescue.

As long as the body hasn't been found, there's still hope that the person is alive.

Lin Miao dared not think about it; she was terrified.

"Battalion Commander Zhao, I beg you, please don't give up the search and rescue. Director Qi's wife has a heart condition, she can't bear this kind of bad news. I beg you to keep searching."

Zhao Jianshe closed his eyes in anguish, then opened them as if he had made up his mind. "Don't worry, I won't give up the search. The leaders have their reasons. I have to leave. I'll lead the team away tomorrow. You and Abing stay here to take care of the comrades at the research institute. Abing, contact the local police and expand the search area. We must find him!"

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

"Fang Shiming, wake up."

Qi Yan reached out and patted Fang Shiming, whose face was pale. There was a knife wound in his lower abdomen, from which blood was gushing out.

Fang Shiming weakly opened his eyes and saw that the sky was pitch black, thinking he was dreaming.

"Am I going to die?"

Qi Yan frowned. "You're not dead yet. Hang in there. I'll take you to see a doctor."

Fang Shiming regained consciousness, and a piercing pain shot through his abdomen, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

"Boss, don't worry about me. I'll only be a burden to you. Completing the mission is more important."

Ignoring his advice, Qi Yan picked up the person and started walking forward.

Everything happened so suddenly. One second everything was calm, and the next second everyone around them pulled out cold weapons and stabbed at them, each blow fatal and ruthless.

Qi Yan grew up in a military compound and learned martial arts from the older men there. He was agile and skillful, but as his strength gradually depleted, he could not fight against four men and was eventually subdued and taken away.

"Shut up. I went through so much trouble to rescue you, not to hear you say anything discouraging. If you want to be considerate, just keep your mouth shut. Your health is the most important thing right now. I believe Battalion Commander Zhao will protect them."

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of horses' hooves rang out, and Qi Yan stopped in his tracks.
