Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Intelligence Update, the Assistance Squad Mobilizes!

[Today’s Intelligence 01]:

When you helped Ma Dongmei move today, you passed through the demolition area at Bai Gezhuang.

Obtained related intelligence——

In the depths of the ruins, within a demolition building, there is an elderly scavenger trapped for 2 days and 2 nights, about to exhaust their last candle.

Rescue them and you can obtain tea worth 30,000 and a case of Feitian Maotai worth 17,000.

[Today’s Intelligence 02]:

When you visited He Fang at Jishuitan Hospital today, you crossed paths with Tang Yonghua, the Director of the Oncology Department.

Obtained related intelligence——

Tang Yonghua received a red BMW X5, valued at 780,000, from the supplier in the procurement of PET-CT equipment.

...

"An elderly scavenger trapped for 2 days, about to exhaust their last candle?"

"Tea worth over 30,000, a nearly 20,000 case of Feitian Maotai..."

"What do these things have to do with an elderly scavenger?"

Looking at the first piece of intelligence that refreshed today, Jiang Tao’s mind was filled with questions.

In Jiang Tao’s fixed impression.

The elderly scavengers were those poor people, wearing ragged clothes, living a tough life, reluctant to eat or wear.

But in the intelligence provided by Brother Tongzi, the total reward value obtained after rescuing that elderly scavenger was nearly 50,000!

"I wonder how that old man got trapped."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-tiered pagoda; even without rewards, we can’t just watch someone die without helping."

After reading the first piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao had already made a decision in his heart.

His gaze continued to move down, looking at the second item.

"Does a red BMW X5 worth 780,000 have anything to do with me..."

"Brother Tongzi, did you provide this piece of intelligence to make me envy that Director Tang?"

Seeing the information mentioned in the second piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao was at a loss for words.

Honestly, he really envied that Director Tang, he was green with envy!

780,000, which is roughly enough to buy a house in full in Jiang Tao’s hometown, Ping County!

However, envy is envy, some things aren’t something you can just envy and get.

After reading the second piece of intelligence, he openly envied Director Tang.

Jiang Tao had a thought, preparing to close the information page and head out to rescue that trapped elderly scavenger.

The intelligence showed that the old man had been trapped for 2 days and 2 nights, about to exhaust his last candle, and it seemed pretty urgent.

Suddenly, three gleaming golden words flashed in Jiang Tao’s mind—Oncology Department!

"Oncology Department? Oncology Department!!"

"The ward where He Fang’s sister-in-law is staying is the Oncology Department!"

In such a moment, Jiang Tao linked the second piece of intelligence to He Fang!

This afternoon, because they couldn’t schedule surgery, Wang Lianming’s choked sobs and helpless image suddenly surfaced in Jiang Tao’s mind.

Ordinary people without money, power, or connections.

Even if they have cancer and urgently need surgery, they have to obediently wait in line, enduring endless waiting!

"Director Tang... a 780,000 BMW..."

Jiang Tao’s eyes were fixed on the second piece of intelligence, having various thoughts flash through his mind.

Ultimately, he decided to use this intelligence to help Wang Lianming and He Fang.

As for whether he could help them...

It would have to depend on tomorrow’s negotiation results with Director Tang.

"It’s too late now, we’ll talk about Director Tang’s matter tomorrow."

"The immediate priority is still to rescue that trapped elderly scavenger first."

Jiang Tao had a thought, closed the intelligence system’s display interface, and started putting on his clothes.

He never imagined he’d have a day where he’d become part of a help team.

Fully dressed, he grabbed the car keys and a strong flashlight from the table and prepared to head out.

Recollecting the intelligence that showed the old man had been trapped for 2 days and nights, presumably hungry and thirsty.

Jiang Tao also picked up a few small buns He Fang had previously given him from the table along with his thermos. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

In 5 minutes, Jiang Tao walked to the truck parked at the village entrance.

Opening the car door and getting in, he started the vehicle and drove towards Bai Gezhuang, which he had passed by earlier in the day.

By now, it was already past midnight.

There were only the occasional private cars on the road, unobstructed all the way.

In thirteen minutes, Jiang Tao drove to the ruins he passed when helping Ma Dongmei move during the day.

Parking the car beside the blue iron sheet fence by the road, Jiang Tao pushed the door open and got out.

He had a thought and opened the intelligence system.

Jiang Tao focused on the first intelligence piece that refreshed today.

In his vision, a three-dimensional navigation map appeared on his retina, similar to Baidu Maps.

On the map, a flashing prominent red dot was 548 meters away in a straight line from his current position.

The old site at Bai Gezhuang had been mostly demolished, and the village roads were already blocked by various construction debris.

Various modes of transport couldn’t get in. Only walking could barely make it through.

Tonight was also cloudy, with no moon, let alone stars. It was a dark and windy night.

Plus, with this being a complete ruin, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Luckily, Jiang Tao was courageous.

If it had been Liu Zhiyuan and the other two, they most likely wouldn’t have dared to come here.

He lit a cigarette to boost his courage.

Jiang Tao proceeded, carrying a strong flashlight, treading high and low through the ruins.

A 500-meter distance, normally, would take about seven to eight minutes to walk.

But here amidst the ruins, it was obviously not normal, plus the visibility was poor.

Occasionally, when he walked into a dead end, he had to detour.

After walking for more than half an hour, Jiang Tao finally reached the flashing red dot on his retina.

With a sweep of his strong flashlight, Jiang Tao saw an old man sitting against the ruins not far in front of him, with one leg pinned down by a shattered floor slab.

The man’s clothes were tattered, clearly the elderly scavenger mentioned in the intelligence!

Jiang Tao first took out his phone, turned on the video mode, then walked towards the old man.

With no intention to harm, but precaution is necessary, having a video for evidence can avoid many troubles.

"Help, help..."

The elderly scavenger noticed Jiang Tao’s arrival and let out a weak call for help.

He had been trapped here for two days and nights, starving for two days and nights, still not fainted, indicating a pretty sturdy constitution.

Jiang Tao saw that the old man was still calling for help and very lucid, his heart relaxed.

If the old man had been unconscious and unclear, it would have been much more troublesome than now.

"Old man, don’t worry, I’m here to help you!"

Jiang Tao recorded his last sentence into the video, then closed the video recording, pocketed his phone, and started to rescue.

The broken floor slab pressing on the old man’s leg was roughly one square meter, over ten centimeters thick, with some rebar mixed in.

Such a slab would easily weigh two to three hundred pounds.

With it pinning him, it was indeed hard for the old man to get out.

Fortunately, as Jiang Tao began rescue, he discovered the old man’s leg wasn’t completely pinned by the slab.

Otherwise, after being pressed for two days and nights, even if rescued, that leg would probably have become crippled.

Jiang Tao, often responsible for loading and unloading when transporting goods, was quite strong.

Bending over, he gripped the edge of the slab with both hands and, with a fierce effort, lifted it aside.

Rescue successful!
