Chapter 020: Sudden Accident
Since agreeing to get married that day, Ji Xinyao has been counting down the days with trepidation every day for a week.
There are still four days left until the agreed time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Sister Ji, Sister Ji! A natural gas explosion occurred in a high-rise residential building on Songliu Road in the southern suburbs 20 minutes ago. The editor-in-chief asked us to go over and take a look right away!"
As soon as the lunch break was over, Ji Xinyao walked into the office and heard Su Xiaonuan's words. Her face immediately changed. She hurriedly put on her coat and picked up her bag: "Let's go!"
Ten minutes later, Su Xiaonuan followed Ji Xinyao and got out of the car. From a distance, she saw a black high-rise residential building surrounded by police cordons in front of her.
Su Xiaonuan quickly took out a miniature camera and followed her. Holding the media's work sign, she successfully walked into the warning area. Police cars and ambulances were blaring all around. Ji Xinyao reached out to help the ambulance workers.
He carried the injured and bloody man onto a stretcher while checking the situation with nearby police and property management personnel.
Amidst a burst of wailing and noise, the injured were carried out one by one. Someone's order seemed to be carried out at the scene of the incident. It was no longer as chaotic as before, until Su Xiaonuan suddenly patted Ji Xinyao on the shoulder.
: "Sister Ji, look!"
Ji Xinyao turned her head and glanced in the direction she was pointing, then looked away. She was stunned for a moment and suddenly looked in the direction Su Xiaonuan was pointing.
I saw Gu Nanxi with a solemn face and sternly scolding the management of the relevant departments. Occasionally, she turned around and said a few words to several staff members around her. After those staff members heard this, they spread the word to everyone, and the scene changed from the very beginning.
The chaos became more and more orderly.
He obviously left a meeting midway and came directly here. He was wearing a very formal gray and black striped suit, and everything was neat and clean from head to toe. He was not in the Shangteng Club that day.
He was uninhibited by the swimming pool, not to mention the casual and casual look in his dark-colored outfit when he drove her to her that day.
It seemed that only at this moment did Ji Xinyao dare to believe that this man was really the mayor of G City...
"Let's go over and interview Mayor Gu!" Su Xiaonuan blinked her big eyes slyly, raised her hand and dragged Ji Xinyao, who was still inquiring about the situation with the police, towards the direction of Gu Nanxi.
"Now is not the time to interview him!"
Although Ji Xinyao didn't expect to meet him at this time, she firmly shook off Su Xiaonuan's hand and looked up at the charred tall building not far away with a worried expression. She frowned at the confusion in Su Xiaonuan's eyes.
: "Currently, 17 people have died and 45 have been injured. Write these down and go over there to take some photos. When you're done, help for a while. Don't stand here in a daze."
With that said, Ji Xinyao turned around and walked to the fire truck to inquire about the rescue situation.
Su Xiaonuan, however, stood still, looking at Ji Xinyao's back in confusion, and then turned to look at Mayor Gu who was not far away and was surrounded by a crowd.
After another half an hour, the on-site idlers had been cleared out, including most of the media. When Su Xiaonuan followed Ji Xinyao back to the car, she looked at her sorting out the manuscripts in her hands, feeling disgusted.
