After a difficult fifty-minute drive, Xie Wanying and her two escorted the transplant box to the airport.
Qiu Ruiyun grabbed the box and ran into the airport lobby first to look for airport staff for help.
Xie Wanying paid the driver the fare.
The driver stopped charging extra tips and said to her: "I'm sorry for the accident on the way. Fortunately, the gold and silver jewelry in your box is fine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay for it."
"Thank you, Master. You have escorted with us a priceless treasure that is much more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry." Xie Wanying thanked the driver, turned around and rushed into the airport to catch up with her senior.
Looking at her running back, the driver scratched his head: What could be more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry? It was actually called a priceless treasure?
In the airport lobby, Qiu Ruiyun, who was communicating face-to-face with the airport staff, turned pale again, and his chin trembled when he spoke: "Can't you be accommodating? This is a special situation!"
"There's nothing we can do, comrade, the boarding gate is closed. You're too late. The plane should take off now."
Immediately after the staff member finished speaking, the sound of a plane rising into the blue sky and white clouds sounded on the airport.
Qiu Ruiyun almost fell to his knees.
One wave comes after another.
"If I want to change my booking, when will the nearest flight be?" Xie Wanying stood next to him and asked the staff. The urgent anxiety in her heart made her voice hoarse like Qiu Ruiyun.
After receiving her request, the ground staff went to the counter to help them inquire about the latest flight time change.
In this era, most people in China choose to take trains or cars. Air travel is a high-cost option that ordinary people cannot afford. Therefore, the market is small, there are few airplanes, and the number of flights is relatively low.
We can only hope that there will be slightly more flights to the capital.
When the phone rang, Qiu Ruiyun took out the phone in his shirt pocket with his left hand. Seeing that it was a call from the department, he gritted his teeth and pressed the answer button.
"What's up, have you got on the plane and left?" He Guangyou saw that the time was almost up, but he didn't see them calling, so he quickly called to ask what was going on.
If it is determined that they are on a plane, patients waiting for transplantation in the hospital need to enter the operating room to prepare.
Qiu Ruiyun said frankly: "No."
"What's going on!" He Guangyou suddenly raised his voice, with a hint of reproach in his tone.
Regarding organ transplantation, Deputy Director Xue was present yesterday and repeatedly emphasized the time limit. Every second delayed on the road will cost the patient's life. Now it is a missed flight, which is a big deal.
"Something happened in the operating room, and something happened on the way." Qiu Ruiyun said apologetically.
There was some movement on the other side. He Guangyou probably wanted to say something more but someone stopped him.
"What are you criticizing them for?"
"No, I just reminded them-"
"Remind them of what?"
"Be careful on the road!"
Tao Zhijie's hand patted the head of the person below, as if patting a child who was acting recklessly. He Guangyou stepped to the side, not daring to say anything, and handed the phone to him at the same time.
Taking the phone, Tao Zhijie said to the two colleagues opposite who were escorting the organs: "Don't be anxious."
"Yes, Teacher Tao."
"Let's talk about it when you come back. I believe you. There are more than eight hours left. As long as you get on the plane in time, you will be able to make it. I will send my colleagues here to get into the ambulance and go to the Capital Airport first, waiting for your safe return." Tao Zhijie's voice.
Gentle and calm, his words expressed comfort to both of them.
