"Dean Jiang, what’s the situation with the person now?"
On the way to Mist City Central Hospital, Ding Yue made a phone call to President Jiang Zhongbo to inquire about the situation. After all, this was a student from Mist City Arts and Science University, and not only that, but also a player from Feiyue Football Club. If anything were to happen to him, it would be a massive loss for his university.
"Principal Ding, the current condition is still unclear. The patient is still undergoing emergency treatment. Our hospital has already assembled the best medical team and will do everything we can to save this student."
President Jiang Zhongbo spoke with a very heavy tone over the phone.
"What exactly happened?" freёnovelkiss.com
Ding Yue asked urgently. Up to this point, he was still unaware of how this student ended up at Mist City Central Hospital.
"The patient is in a state of severe coma and has extensive third-degree burns over most of his body. The condition is extremely critical. From what we can tell, this was clearly caused by something like a fire disaster. However, we haven’t received much detailed information yet. As soon as he was brought in, I immediately arranged for doctors to begin emergency treatment."
President Jiang Zhongbo explained.
"Burn injuries?"
Ding Yue muttered softly, "Something must have happened. Dean Jiang, I’ll be there shortly. Once I arrive, we can discuss this more thoroughly."
"Alright, Principal Ding."
After hanging up the phone, Ding Yue was beside himself with anxiety. His mind was deeply unsettled. After all, President Jiang Zhongbo had just emphasized how serious the burns were, alongside the critical coma state. Whether the student could be saved remained uncertain, as even President Jiang Zhongbo couldn’t confidently assure that he could be successfully brought back from the brink.
"A fire disaster, a fire disaster—where exactly was the fire?"
Ding Yue pondered. It couldn’t have occurred at Mist City Arts and Science University, as everything was calm on campus today.
In all likelihood, the fire had taken place off-campus.
Immediately, Ding Yue turned to his secretary Wen Ruohan and said, "Xiao Wen, check right now to see if any fire emergencies occurred here in Mist City today."
"Understood, Principal Ding."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan swiftly pulled out her phone, opened Whatsapp, and clicked on the Mist City Fire Department’s official account to check the latest fire incident reports. Sure enough, just half an hour ago, the Fire Department’s account had published news of a fire at a restaurant inside a shopping mall.
"Principal Ding, a fire broke out on XX Pedestrian Street. It seems to be pretty severe."
Wen Ruohan immediately reported the situation back to Principal Ding.
"Yue, look at this."
At that moment, Xu Bin held up his phone and placed it in front of Ding Yue, saying, "Is this the student?"
"Yes, that’s him. From the soccer team. I remember."
Ding Yue recognized the individual in the photo on Bin’s phone. Though the image was somewhat blurry, the silhouette and faintly discernible face were enough for Ding Yue to confirm that it was one of Mist City Arts and Science University’s Feiyue Football Club players, who had recently participated in a major game against Shuangjiang Football Club. His name was Wang Shun.
The caption beneath the photo read—Hero Rescues Over Ten People From Fire!
It was him!
A fire disaster—at a perilous moment, amidst the fire, he had rescued over ten people?
Upon reading to this part, Ding Yue felt his whole body tremble.
This was one of Mist City Arts and Science University’s students—a young person with a heart full of moral courage. And yet, such a compassionate person was now lying in the hospital’s ICU, fighting for his life.
"Was Wang Shun the one who saved those over ten people from the fire and ended up burned?"
Huang Youjie, after reading the news, couldn’t help but feel stunned.
What kind of courage is that?
Before Mist City Fire Department had even arrived on the scene, he had rushed to save people. Otherwise, those dozen lives might have been forever consumed by the fire.
"Hope he pulls through!"
"A hero—this is what a hero truly is!"
"An extraordinary person!"
"This guy looks kind of familiar?"
"It’s so touching, but heroes shouldn’t face such tragic ends."
"Please, please, make sure he survives!"
"Haha, who does he think he is trying to play hero? Serves him right."
"Why not just wait patiently for the fire department instead of recklessly putting yourself in danger?"
"An ordinary fire rescue hero!"
"He rushed against the tide, rescued over ten people—truly remarkable."
"I heard he’s currently undergoing emergency treatment at the hospital, but it’s uncertain if he’ll make it."
"My heart aches."
"Why is it always the good people who suffer like this?"
"Is there any way to donate? I’d like to do my part to help this hero."
In the comments section of the news article, netizens offered prayers and hopes for the safe recovery of this ordinary yet heroic young man. Many felt that someone who pulled off such an extraordinary feat shouldn’t meet a tragic outcome.
Of course, the internet being what it is, there were also malicious comments attacking Wang Shun for being reckless, questioning why he would even attempt the rescue and blaming him for ending up in his current condition.
Reading these remarks, Ding Yue felt speechless but also clear-eyed. Such hostility was a predictable facet of the online world, where the anonymity of the internet often hides petty souls.
"This kid—is he from the soccer team?"
Zhao Dejiang saw the news and, unable to suppress his emotions, remarked, "I believe he’ll be okay. He has to be okay."
