It must have been a telepathic moment.
Yunyi had just returned from the field when she saw Huo Jingrui standing in front of the courtyard gate.
She hurried over in wide strides. "Is there any news?"
Huo Jingrui nodded at her gently. "Let’s go inside and talk."
Yunyi took out her keys to unlock her courtyard door, and the two of them walked to the kitchen door before stopping.
Huo Jingrui spoke with a grave expression, "I’ve already had it confirmed. Although warnings were issued in advance and some units made emergency preparations, the disaster is very serious. The entire city is essentially in ruins. Even though troops at all levels have been mobilized, the outlook is not optimistic."
He knew in his heart that if there had been no early warning, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Yunyi said earnestly, "You know that my medical skills are fairly good. I want to go there and participate in the rescue effort. Can you help me with that?"
Huo Jingrui had anticipated this before he came, so he had already taken care of everything for her. "Sure, you can go along with us. I’ll arrange for someone to take you there later."
Yunyi knew that now, time was life, and she didn’t hesitate for a second. "Okay, then I’ll pack up and go find the Branch Secretary for a letter of introduction."
Huo Jingrui took out a transfer letter from his pocket. "Take this to the Branch Secretary. It will make things easier. I’ll wait for you at the village entrance."
Yunyi looked at it carefully. It was issued by the city hospital.
Yunyi hadn’t expected him to be so thoughtful. "Thanks," she said. "I’ll treat you to a meal later."
She went inside to pack up quickly. She put all the important things into her space and, still carrying her usual backpack, walked out. "I’m going to find the Branch Secretary."
After she said that, they left the courtyard one after the other.
She took the introduction letters. "I will. Thank you, Uncle Secretary. I have to go now."
She turned and ran out of the brigade headquarters, heading straight for the village entrance.
From a distance, she spotted the jeep at the village entrance. Only then did she remember she hadn’t even washed her face after returning from work. She quickly tidied herself up a bit in the small river.
As she got up and walked towards the village entrance, she transferred a few steamed rolls from her space to her backpack. These will be good to snack on in the car, she thought.
By the time Yunyi approached the vehicle, Huo Jingrui had already started the engine. After all, coming to pick up Yunyi had delayed him, and there were so many people in the city waiting for his return.
The car sped all the way to the city, arriving just in time to catch up with the convoy escorting those "enemies of the state" to Beijing.
