Chapter 2033 - 2035: Jiang Nuan vs Fu Yi 36
Chapter 2033: Chapter 2035: Jiang Nuan vs Fu Yi 36
The next day, Jiang Nuan noticed that Zhang Yan was avoiding her. Besides Zhang Yan, everyone else also gave her strange looks. Every time she turned her back, she felt like she could hear whispers about her, but when she turned around, everyone acted normal, as if they hadn’t been paying any special attention to her.
Jiang Nuan spent the whole morning under this peculiar feeling, and during lunch break, Zhang Yan ran off faster than anyone else, tossing his gloves into the trash and disappearing in a flash.
"I’m going to eat."
As he ran, the others found their own excuses, each leaving faster than the last.
"I’m so tired, Ye Zi, can you come with me to the dorm to change clothes?"
"Sure."
"I need to go back and call home. My parents are worried, let’s go together."
In the blink of an eye, everyone was gone.
Jiang Nuan took off her gloves and threw them in the trash, rubbing her throbbing temples with her hand. She couldn’t be bothered to question it, knowing it was probably related to Fu Yi dragging her away yesterday.
Fu Yi was the future mayor of Capital City.
They probably didn’t want to get too close to her before figuring out her identity.
She sighed, pulled out a chair, sat down, and checked the time on her phone.
Since no one wanted to interact with her, she couldn’t care less about asking for trouble herself, so she decided to wait another half hour before going to the canteen for lunch.
She casually flipped open the nearby nurse’s notebook and started reading the patient records noted inside.
At that moment.
A burst of chaotic footsteps sounded from outside.
"Is anyone there?"
"Doctor?"
"They all went to eat."
"Hurry and get a doctor."
Jiang Nuan found the voices outside somewhat familiar, put down the notebook, and walked outward.
Just then, she bumped into a secretary with an anxious face.
Fu Yi’s secretary?
Her heart sank fiercely, and she quickly caught up, "What happened?"
The secretary, annoyed at being patted on the shoulder, was about to lose his temper, but upon seeing her, swallowed his anger and turned anxious, "Madam Director."
Jiang Nuan disliked the title but had no energy to argue, quickly asking, "What happened, why are you looking for a doctor?"
Only then did the secretary remember that Madam Director was a doctor, a neurologist to be precise, and in his agitation, he grabbed Jiang Nuan’s hand and urgently said, "Director Fu... Director Fu is injured."
"What?" Jiang Nuan’s mind went blank, her brow furrowing, "How could he be injured out of nowhere?"
Wasn’t that man the future mayor, with plenty of people around to protect him, how could he possibly get hurt?
The secretary, wearing a mournful expression, said, "A collapse site was found, with people still buried underneath. The area was barely held up by the house beams, preventing a full burial. Excavators couldn’t dig, so everyone had to manually remove bricks. Finally, they cleared a small opening just big enough for one person, discussing who would go in to save people. It was too dark inside, and the trapped people were semi-conscious, unable to provide clear information about the depth or conditions inside. Time was urgent, and Director Fu volunteered to go in and lift people out. Initially, everyone disagreed, but he insisted he was the tallest and could fit through the opening. They couldn’t convince him otherwise, so he went in, but who knew..."
Jiang Nuan turned pale as paper, fragile, "What happened."
"... When Director Fu was getting the person out, a small aftershock suddenly occurred in the area. The supporting beams were already unstable, and they collapsed, burying Director Fu inside..."
