Chapter 82

Hero Saves the Beauty

After the two communicated for a while, Geng Qiuyan made a phone call based on the information provided by Lin Xiao.

A moment later, Geng Qiuyan said with a smile, "Director Lin, Fengdu Dejiyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. happens to have an investment inspection team that will be visiting Quanzhou City in the next few days. Here is their contact information. You can contact them directly and ask them to visit Fengshan County. Dejiyuan has a high reputation in the provincial capital and has a state-owned background. In recent years, they have also been vigorously promoting the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs and have explored some new models. You can give them a try."

"Okay, thank you, Director Geng. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Although it was clear that Geng Qiuyan wasn't as easygoing as she seemed on the surface, she was taking this matter seriously, so Lin Xiao sincerely expressed her gratitude.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Xiao said goodbye and left the office.

Back in the car, Liang Pan asked first, "Brother Lin, how did the talks go?"

"Hmm, it's alright. I'll make a phone call first."

Then, Lin Xiao dialed the number provided by Geng Qiuyan.

The phone rang a few times before being answered: "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, are you Director Guan from Dejiyuan Pharmaceutical? I am Lin Xiao from Fengshan County."

"Oh, that's me."

The other party was Guan Tong, the director of the investment office of Dejiyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., who also led the team to Quanzhou City for inspection.

"Okay, Director Guan, thank you. See you next Monday."

"it is good."

The two chatted briefly and then agreed to meet in Fengshan County next Monday.

Seeing that Lin Xiao had finished his call, Liang Pan casually asked, "Brother Lin, where do we go next?"

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I'll report the situation to Secretary Wang first, and then we'll see if we should go back to Fengshan County. But if we really want to go back, you can drive on the national highway, and I'll take over when we get on the expressway."

Upon hearing this, Liang Pan became a little emotional: "No way, brother, even though I just got my license not long ago, I've already practiced driving my uncle's car, so I can be considered an experienced driver."

Have you ever driven on a highway?

"It's not that I haven't had the chance, but since I do have one today, can you let me practice a bit?"

"This isn't about whether it's practice or not. How can traffic safety be treated as practice? I have to be responsible for you, and I also have to be responsible for the teacher. That's the decision."

"elder brother……"

Afterwards, Lin Xiao called Wang Yuanze and explained the situation. Wang Yuanze agreed that they should return to Fengshan County first and instructed him to take good care of Liang Pan, especially to pay attention to his safety.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao asked again, "Do you need to go back and pack some personal belongings?"

Liang Pan didn't answer, but turned around and pointed to the trunk. It seemed he was really angry, but Lin Xiao didn't want to indulge him like that.

Let's go!

Liang Pan started the car and headed towards the highway. The traffic in the city was still quite heavy, with frequent stops and starts, so the speed naturally couldn't be increased. This was what Lin Xiao was happy to see. Of course, even when driving on the national highway, he was always paying attention to his surroundings.

Nearly twenty minutes after setting off, the two switched seats at a gas station before entering the highway, with Lin Xiao driving the car onto the highway and heading south.

After having a quick lunch at a service area along the way, Liang Pan regained his lively spirits. In fact, before he came to find Lin Xiao, his father, Liang Weiwang, had instructed him to listen to his senior brother, Lin Xiao's, arrangements before doing anything.

Therefore, Liang Pan sometimes felt a strange sense of doubt, as if his father trusted his students more than his son, even though he also believed that his senior brother, who was a few years older than him, was indeed a trustworthy person.

Around 3 p.m., the car finally exited the highway and headed towards Fengshan County along the national highway.

"Brother Lin, that red car in front of us also came from the provincial capital. We've been with it the whole way," Liang Pan joked.

"Bang......"

Suddenly, a motorcycle sped from the side road on the left. The red car swerved to avoid it, jerked the steering wheel, crashed into a tree on the side of the road, and then plunged into it.

"Wow..."

Liang Pan exclaimed in surprise, while Lin Xiao stepped on the gas and sped to the side of the road. After getting out of the car, he went to check and saw that there was a large embankment at least four or five meters deep on the side of the road. The red car was stuck at the bottom of the embankment, with the front of the car sinking deeper and the rear of the car sticking up at a small angle. The key point was that the car was already deformed and the airbags had deployed, but the situation inside the car could not be seen.

"Xiao Pan, call 120 right away. I remember there's a road sign up ahead; I need to go down and see what's going on."

"Brother, should we wait for the rescue..."

"Saving lives is the priority. Go make a call right away."

As he spoke, Lin Xiao grabbed a small branch and quickly slid down the slope to the bottom of the ditch.

Suddenly, a pungent burning smell wafted over. Lin Xiao looked closely and saw that a wisp of smoke was coming out of the front of the red car.

"Cough cough..."

A violent coughing fit came from the driver's seat.

Lin Xiao shouted through the car window, "Hey, how are you? Can you move it? The car is smoking, we need to get out quickly."

"My...my foot is stuck, I can't move, I..."

It was a young girl's voice, and you could tell that there was a lot of panic in it.

"Hold on a little longer, let me see if I can get the door open."

As the smoke grew thicker, Lin Xiao comforted the girl while struggling to open the door, but because the car was completely deformed, the door could only be opened a crack.

"Little Pan, Little Pan..."

Lin Xiao called out twice without response. As she was about to call a third time, Liang Pan finally answered breathlessly, "Brother, I'm here, I'm here. Do you need me to come down?"

"No, no, the car door is stuck. See if you have anything you can use to pry it open. Drop it down quickly."

"Okay, okay, I'll go find it right away."

Liang Pan hurriedly ran to the trunk of his car, searched frantically for a while, and then returned to the embankment with a somewhat helpless expression, saying, "Brother, I didn't find anything in my car that I could use to pry open the door. What should I do?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's face instantly darkened. Seeing the smoke from the front of the car growing thicker and flames flickering, the situation was extremely critical. If the front of the car really caught fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"There's a fire..."

Just as Lin Xiao's brain was racing and he was still struggling to pull the door open, the girl in the driver's seat suddenly screamed. Her voice was trembling, and although she was trying her best to twist her body, she was stuck in the seat.

It is precisely at times like these that a person's willpower and adaptability are truly tested.

"Don't be afraid, I'm still here!"

Lin Xiao shouted again, then stood up and examined the car. He suddenly noticed that the back door seemed to be intact, and an idea immediately came to him.

"Hold on a little longer, I'll try from the back seat."

Lin Xiao climbed onto the car, grabbed a tree branch with one hand and the door handle of the back seat with the other, and tried to pull it open, but the door still wouldn't open after two or three attempts.

"I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here..."

Lin Xiao comforted her, then pulled with all her might, and the back door was finally opened. Lin Xiao bent down and crawled into the front seat, lunged forward, pushed open the airbag covering the girl, then bent down to unfasten the seat belt, and then grabbed the girl's upper arms with both hands and pulled her up forcefully.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, my foot..."

Hang in there!

Lin Xiao couldn't care less about the girl's screams. The situation was critical, so he could only lean down, grab the girl's waist, and pull her up, once, twice...

Finally, with a scream of "Ah!" from the girl, Lin Xiao managed to drag her out of her seat.

"Let's get out from the back seat..."

Lin Xiao dragged the girl backward as he went.

At this moment, the girl's feet were bleeding, and her face had turned pale from the pain. Her body leaned limply against Lin Xiao's chest.

Lin Xiao jumped out of the car, picked up the girl and pulled her out. With a forceful movement, the girl's weight and inertia propelled her out of the car, knocking Lin Xiao flat on his back.

However, Lin Xiao still held the girl tightly, enduring the pain in his back as he picked her up and staggered to the side.

At this moment, the front of the car was already shrouded in thick smoke, the flames were getting bigger and bigger, and the pungent smell of burning plastic was getting stronger and stronger. Then a crackling sound came from inside the car.

Lin Xiao was only focused on running forward, not knowing how far he had run, when finally a loud "bang" rang out behind him, and the car exploded.

Lin Xiao stopped walking only when he could no longer feel the intense heat behind him. He turned around and looked at the car, which was now burned to pieces. A wave of fear washed over him as he wondered if he had been any slower...

"Could you please not let go of me first?"

The girl's voice sounded somewhat weak, and also carried a distinct shyness.
