After waiting for a long time, we finally started to board the plane.
At 3:20, after a delay of one hour, the plane took off from Shencheng Airport and flew directly to Huangyuan. After nearly 3 hours of long-distance flight, at 6 p.m., the plane landed at Huangyuan Airport. The students sent by the school
The bus has already been waiting at the airport.
It's still raining here in Huangyuan, moderate rain.
Then everyone got on the bus and drove to Jiangzhou in the rain. The further we went towards Jiangzhou, the heavier the rain became.
Thinking that Zhang Lin was busy on the front line of flood fighting and rescue operations, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel concerned.
At 9:30 pm, the bus arrived in Jiangzhou, went straight to the Party School, and stopped in front of the dormitory building. It was still raining, and everyone rushed to the dormitory building with their luggage.
Qiao Liang returned to the dormitory and wiped his rain-drenched hair and face with a dry towel. Thinking of Sun Yong's plan to pick him up, he couldn't help but laugh. Damn it, he had already arrived in Jiangzhou, why didn't this guy give him one?
Call? Did he forget?
Qiao Liang suddenly slapped his head. He had forgotten to turn on his mobile phone since he landed. Sun Yong couldn't find him.
Qiao Liang then took out his cell phone and turned it on, but there was no prompt message for a call from Sun Yong.
Qiao Liang frowned, huh? This guy didn't call him at all. Did he really forget it? Or was he always busy?
Thinking about it, it should be the latter. Sun Yong has always been meticulous in doing things and will never forget things he promised himself.
If Sun Yong is busy, of course he is busy with An Zhe.
At this time, what is An Zhe busy with?
Qiao Liang thought for a while and called Sun Yong.
After a moment of connection, Sun Yong's deep voice came from the phone: "Brother Qiao..."
"Man, I'm back. I just arrived at the Party School. It's raining really hard. It started raining from Huangyuan Airport all the way to Jiangzhou..." Qiao Liang said.
"Well, just come back." Sun Yong's voice was still very low.
"Why, is it inconvenient for you to speak now?" Qiao Liang said.
Sun Yong was silent for a moment: "Brother Qiao, I won't be in Jiangzhou right now."
"Where have you gone?"
"Sanjiang."
"Oh, you followed Secretary An to Sanjiang?"
"Yes, Secretary An and Mayor Luo both came to Sanjiang urgently."
"What happened to Sanjiang?" Qiao Liang suddenly became nervous.
"Something big happened in Sanjiang, County Magistrate Zhang..." Sun Yong said in a heavy tone.
Qiao Liang's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt a burst of fear: "What happened to County Magistrate Zhang?"
Sun Yong said slowly: "Tonight when County Magistrate Zhang was on the front line directing the flood fight, the river embankment suddenly collapsed, and she, she was washed away by the flood..."
"Ah -" Qiao Liang's head banged and she said anxiously, "Does County Magistrate Zhang... have any problems with her people now?"
Sun Yong tried his best to say in a calm tone: "After County Magistrate Zhang was washed away by the flood, the people accompanying him conducted an emergency search and rescue, and soon found Magistrate Zhang not far downstream. Although Magistrate Zhang was found, first aid was provided on the spot.
Measures were taken, and then he was rushed to the County People's Hospital, but..."
"Ah..." Qiao Liang couldn't help shouting again, and the world was spinning. She couldn't believe this sudden bad news. Zhang Lin was still on the phone with her before boarding the plane. How could something like this happen in just a few hours?
!
This is impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Nothing will happen to Zhang Lin, nothing will happen!
Qiao Liang's head went blank for a while, unable to accept this reality, his whole body was trembling and his limbs were numb.
Sun Yong continued: "After the bad news happened, the county quickly reported to the city. After Secretary An learned about it, he immediately rushed to Sanjiang People's Hospital with Mayor Luo. When they arrived, County Magistrate Zhang had already...
…”

Qiao Liang clutched the phone tightly, his whole body in a state of numbness. The huge bad news shocked him so much that he was speechless for a moment and his body was shaking violently.
Sun Yong continued: "In the face of this unexpected incident, Secretary An and Mayor Luo held urgent consultations. While arranging people to continue to do flood fighting and rescue work, they immediately studied the aftermath and at the same time reported the situation of County Magistrate Zhang who died in the line of duty.
Report to the province..."
Qiao Liang couldn't hear what Sun Yong was saying at this time. He only had one thought in his mind: Go to Sanjiang, go to Sanjiang, and meet Zhang Lin! You must meet Zhang Lin!
Qiao Liang hung up the phone call on Sun Yong, then rushed out of the room, rushed down the dormitory building, and rushed to the school gate in the heavy rain, where a taxi happened to be unloading guests.
Qiao Liang opened the car door and walked in, saying anxiously: "Go to Sanjiang People's Hospital, quickly..."
The taxi driver was stunned, looked at Qiao Liang who was in a frantic state, and shook his head: "It's raining so hard and we're driving at night, so I won't go."
"Go, you must go!" Qiao Liang roared.
"Then you have to pay more!"
Qiao Liang took out a pile of old people's heads from his body and slapped it on the bridge: "It's all yours, hurry up and set off!"
When the taxi driver saw the money, he thought, Damn, this guy is so generous. This pile is at least 1,000. It seems that he is in a hurry to go to Sanjiang in this weather, so he must have something urgent.
The taxi driver collected the money and drove towards Sanjiang.
Qiao Liang sat in the speeding car, staring at the crazy night rain outside with blood-red eyes. His mind continued to go blank, his limbs continued to feel numb, his whole body was cold, and he continued to tremble violently.
Seeing Qiao Liang like this, the taxi driver didn't dare to disturb him and concentrated on increasing the accelerator and driving.
At around 11 o'clock, the taxi entered Sanjiang County People's Hospital.
Qiao Liang jumped out of the car and ran to the hospital building. He rushed into the building, grabbed a man in a white coat, and said incoherently: "Where is County Magistrate Zhang? Where is Zhang Lin?"
The person in the white coat was a female doctor. Seeing Qiao Liang's crazy look, she was startled. Knowing that Zhang Lin was killed tonight, she hurriedly said: "County Magistrate Zhang is now... in the morgue..."
Qiao Liang ran to the morgue. When she ran to the door of the morgue, a medical worker was standing there.
"Open the door, I want to go in." Qiao Liang shouted.
Seeing Qiao Liang like this, the medical worker who had seen various families of the deceased opened the door without saying a word. Qiao Liang rushed in and was greeted by a cold air.
"Where is County Magistrate Zhang? Where is she?" Looking at the rows of morgues inside, Qiao Liang's body trembled violently.
The medical worker didn't say anything, just pulled one of them away, and then withdrew.
Qiao Liang rushed over, eyes wide open——
Zhang Lin is lying inside, her eyes are closed at the moment, her face is pale and bloodless, but her expression seems very peaceful, as if she is asleep.
Qiao Liang looked straight at Zhang Lin who was sleeping there, and looked at this face that was once so familiar. She was still there, but she was gone forever, just gone, just gone forever inadvertently.
!
Gone, gone, never come back.
Qiao Liang held Zhang Lin's cold hand. It used to be so soft and warm, but now it is extremely cold.
Qiao Liang gently stroked Zhang Lin's smooth and pale face again. There used to be such a friendly smile on her face, which was as warm as spring, but now, this expression is frozen in this moment forever.
Thinking of Zhang Lin's acquaintance and relationship, Zhang Lin's care and concern for her, and the scenes between herself and Zhang Lin, the great grief that Qiao Liang had been suppressing suddenly burst out, and her tears poured out like a fountain...
"Sister Lin..." Qiao Liang threw herself on Zhang Lin, hugged her cold body tightly, and let out desperate and heart-breaking cries and howls...
