"Were you talking to Jiang Yao?" Old General Liang eventually realized Jiang Yao might have overhead what he said earlier. "Did she believe in what you said?"
"For now, at least. That's why I need to be in Rong County as soon as possible to check out the situation. Jiang Yao is still a young lady but she has a very sensitive mind. We can't hide from her for too long," Liang Yueze said. "Grandpa, stay behind and wait for the news, I'll go now."
After hearing from Liang Yueze that the soldier was not Lu Xingzhi, Jiang Yao went back into her room in relief.
She thought about it, changed her clothes, and said to Wen Xuehui, "Can you help me? I'll have to take tomorrow off, there are urgent matters I need to attend to."
She stuffed Moe into her backpack and left the room before getting into her car. As she was leaving, she did not hear Wen Xuehui's question asking where she would be.
After leaving the campus, Jiang Yao gave the director of Shengqi Hospital a call.
"Did you hear about the flood in Rong County?" Jiang Yao asked before continuing, "Call for an emergency meeting with all medical and nursing staff immediately! I'll need you to reschedule the shifts and arrange for a third of our medical personnel to head to the frontlines in Rong County."
A brief pause later, she added, "It will be hard for everyone in the hospital. On behalf of me, the shareholder of the hospital, please express my heartfelt gratitude to all our medical personnel. There will be a bonus for everyone this month and whoever volunteers to go to Rong County will have their current month's salary tripled."
She spoke extremely fast, perhaps worrying that any second delayed would deprive the medical personnel an opportunity to save more lives.
