Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day novel Chapter 243

As William hastily arranged for the fighter jet to reach Yuanchuan, his mind was preoccupied with another matter.

What matter?

Was President Grant seriously planning to pilot the fighter jet himself to search for someone?

With earthquakes threatening to strike at any moment, and the worst area just having experienced a disaster, Madison might have lost contact. How could he let President Grant go himself?

"William?"

Amidst the hurried crowd, someone called his name, and William turned around. That turn made his heart skip.

"Miss Yin?" William scanned his surroundings and asked, "You’re here to support the effort too?"

The woman who called him, now clad in battle dress, exuded a vigorous and heroic aura. Her short hair barely enough to tie back, her face dusted with grime, did not obscure her commanding presence.

"Of course, I came. But you..." she looked around, not finding the familiar figure she expected.

William explained, "I came with President Grant."

"In such a dangerous place, what's he doing here?" The woman frowned.

William paused, "Looking for someone."

At that, Yin Xiangtian's eyes shifted, and she nodded, "Tell him to be careful."

"Will do. You too, Miss Yin."

"I'm off."

The woman waved her hand and turned back to immerse herself in the rescue work.

For this support operation in Yuanchuan, three flight squads were dispatched.

One was tasked with repairing the local electrical circuits.

Another was responsible for searching for victims at the site.

The third was charged with transporting the injured.

The squad Madison was with was responsible for transporting the injured.

And the squad searching for victims on-site was led by the woman he had just encountered.

All three squads were locally available, official flight teams, under official orders.

The selection competition before the earthquake was an official attempt to form a civilian flight squad, thereby creating a four-squad team.

"Team Yin, there's someone here!" a rescuer called out.

Yin Xiangtian immediately rushed over, her tall frame of 172 cm dressed in combat boots moved with such an efficiency that the term 'lightning fast' seemed inadequate.

She knelt on the ground, frantically digging through the rubble.

When she grasped a swollen hand, Yin Xiangtian lay flat on the ground, shouting to the person buried beneath, "Don’t give up, we're here to save you! Do you hear me?"

The pulse was still there, the person was alive.

"Save... my boyfriend..." the voice was so faint it was almost imperceptible.

Yin Xiangtian kept the victim talking, keeping her conscious.

"Where’s the transport squad?" she asked.

The rescuer, out of breath from digging, responded, "They all went to the disaster area."

"Not one plane was left here?" Yin Xiangtian's voice grew stern, "So we just abandon the people here?"

The others didn’t dare to speak.

Yin Xiangtian quickly used the direct contact signal to call for help.

Despite most circuits being destroyed, some were still functioning.

After three or four attempts, the call connected.

She yelled into the phone, "You didn't leave us even one plane? Aren’t these lives worth anything? Send back two jets immediately!"

On the other end, Dong Buwen replied, "Team Yin, I didn't make these decisions, I’m just following orders."

"Whose orders? The Aviation Authority?" Yin Xiangtian pressed, "I need three jets now... if there's a problem, they can come to me!"

Yin Xiangtian hung up abruptly.

-

At the main disaster zone.

Dong Buwen was unharmed, but some of his team were injured, and so were the three commercial pilots.

"Are you okay?" Charlie, ignoring the blood on her own arm, was deeply concerned for Madison who had been hit in the head by a stone.

Madison, pressing on the wound on her head, fortunately not serious, said, "I'm fine, let’s focus on the rescue."
