On the first day after the festival, Junjie just left the house and heard someone calling him: "Hello, Mr. Fu! You are so glorious now."

Junjie turned around and looked around. Seeing Minglang sitting in the Mercedes-Benz coupe, he looked around nervously, hurried into the car, and asked vigilantly: "Mr. Ming, why do you think of me coming here? It's not good to see it. Is there anything wrong? You are so big boss, you are waiting here early in the morning."

Minglang didn't answer, and handed Junjie a small paper bag and said, "This is a masterless card, and we will use it to contact you from now on. Jiarui has already gone to the United States. It doesn't matter if he leaves, we will do the same."

Junjie didn't pick up his card, raised his hand and blocked it back, saying, "Mr. Ming, I don't want to do this anymore. It's too dangerous. Really, there's no need for it now."

Minglang smiled and without saying a word, he stuffed the phone card into Junjie's pocket. He said half-threatening and half-comfort: "Mr. Fu, you have helped us so much in the past and have not been discovered, why are you so brave now? Do you believe Wen Jiarui doesn't believe me? Don't worry, Mr. Fu, how much Jiarui pays you in the past, I will double it. The premise is that the information must be valuable. Believe me, Junjie, we will cooperate better than Jiarui." After saying that, he took Junjie's shoulder bag, put a large bundle of 100-dollar bills in, and then smiled at him: "This is my gift for meeting. Please accept it with a smile. Mr. Fu won't give me this face, right?"

Fu Junjie swallowed hard and thought to himself: "It's not my fault, Shangguan Lichao, you know that I like bells, and you promised me in person, but you still threw her to an outsider who was not related to us and had nothing to do with us. You will let me down first." So he took his bag from Minglang and said, "Don't come here to find me in the future. I will send you a text message if you have any news."

Minglang smiled knowingly, stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation!"

Junjie hesitated for a moment, and finally held his hand and said, "Mr. Ming, don't forget, the reward will be doubled."

"One word is certain!" Minglang said with a smile.

The cooperation between Ge Haoran and Li Chao was also progressing very smoothly. That morning, Li Chao accompanied Haoran to the bank to talk to Bai Meiyun about the loan. Li Chao saw that it was still early and it was less than ten o'clock, so he asked Haoran to go to his place to have a cup of coffee and have lunch together. Unexpectedly, Haoran said he couldn't go anymore and was in a hurry to leave. He said, "Forget it today, the charger for my computer and mobile phone is placed on the farm. I want to rush back. I have to watch the bell at noon, which is not delayed. Next time."

Seeing his rush, Li Chao warned: "Old Ge, be careful, you shouldn't spoil girls too much. You forgot your ex. What have you been spoiled by you? So what will happen in the end?"

Haoran smiled and said, "The bell is different from other girls. Oh, I can't tell you clearly. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. See you again!" After that, he got into his car and left.

Li Chao was idle, so he asked Ruosi and several designers from the decoration company to go to the Nansan Section 3 of the First Ring Road to see an unfinished building that was sealed by the court and prepared for auction. There were five floors in total. Li Chao was planning to let Yifei take it and rent it to them for hot pot city. When Li Chao was a child, he liked the hot pot the most was Qixingjiao and Bazi hot pot. When he was a child, he thought that these two hot pots were the best in Jin's history. They were delicious and cheap. If Gan Rong took him and Wanru to eat hot pot at that time, he chose these two and took turns to eat them. Later, due to their poor management, they encountered many new hot pot restaurants, and these two old restaurants slowly collapsed, which made Li Chao very depressed for a while. Later, he had eaten countless hot pot restaurants, but he could no longer find the feeling that he felt itchy when he was a child.

Not long ago, with the help of his master Deng Jinlong, Li Chao spent a lot of trouble and finally found the original owners of these two hot pot restaurants and bought the hot pot base recipe they had with a lot of money. Qixing pepper is pure oil hot pot, and Bazi hot pot is butter hot pot, which is exactly the perfect match.

Li Chao has made hot pot several times in his store according to the recipe he bought. Every time he invited many friends to taste it, he also invited Yu Niang, Godmother, Yifeizixi and Dan Lao. They all said that the old flavor was the same as before, which was much more authentic than many new hot pots now. Guagua and Yaoyao also packed the hot pot base made by Li Chao and said they would continue to eat it.

Since Kaizi and the others won the food competition, Yifei did not laugh at their hotel as a small and broken store, and even told Li Chao and Wanru that in the future, they would open a new store, and she and Zixi would come to buy a group. Xiaofei and Zeyu also had this meaning. Li Chao did not expect that they won the third place in the food competition, and they still had so many unthinkable benefits, so they didn't want to wait until the new property of their Academy of Agricultural Sciences was completed, so they were ready to start in advance. Anyway, there were rich women, rich women, and rich men behind their backs, so they were not short of money!

After inspecting the unfinished building, the designers told Li Chao that although the building is relatively short, it is very wide and can be designed into the style of the old house in Jindu, which is very suitable for the old taste of hot pot. They also drew a few sketches in front of Li Chao. Li Chao seemed very satisfied and asked them to improve the design according to this idea.

At noon, Li Chao invited everyone to a hot pot restaurant called Laoqiaotou not far away for dinner. Ruosi had eaten the hot pot base that Li Chao gave herself, and shook her head while saying that the taste here was not as delicious as the hot pot made by Li Chao, which was far from that.

After dinner, the designers left first, Li Chao and Ruosi went to the parking lot to pick up the car and prepare to return to the company.

As soon as he walked to the parking lot, Li Chao saw his Land Rover parked on the dam shaking. The first thought that popped up in his mind was: "Damn it, which grandson dared to make a car shock in my newly bought car while I was away. Didn't this intentionally disgusting me?"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked forward a few steps and suddenly realized that something was wrong. He saw not only his car shaking, but all the cars in the open-air parking lot next to the river were shaking. What was even more terrifying was that the very dull "rumbling" sound coming from the ground at this time was like a fierce message sent by the evil ghosts slowly pushed open.

At this time, Li Chao Ruosi heard someone shouting in panic: "The earthquake is coming, run away!"

I saw a lot of people coming from the building across the street. The flower pots placed on the balcony of the residents upstairs were shaken and fell on the street. The flower pots were splashed everywhere. This added to people's panic. Many people were frightened and ran around like headless flies.

At this time, Ruosi was also scared to death. She grabbed Li Chao's arm tightly and did not dare to let go. Not far from Li Chao, there were two young women who had just gotten out of the car and passed by here. She was so scared that she cried: "Oh, my god, I just sent our youngest son to school just now. Oh my god, it's over, my son, my baby..."

Her crying made Li Chao worry about her nephew. Lele is also in kindergarten now, but thinking that their senior class lives on the first floor, and Lele is very awake. With such a big noise, he might have run to the playground. He felt a little comforted in his heart.

Another woman was so scared that she couldn't stand steadily. She also reached out to grab Li Chao's hand and cried without thinking: "Why is it an earthquake? Why is it an earthquake? It's so terrifying, so terrifying! It took a long time to stop?"

Li Chao didn't know that only God knew about this kind of thing. At this time, Li Chao's head was also misty, so he could only try his best to stabilize his body so that the two women who grabbed him would not fall.

I don’t know that after a long time, the “rumbling” sound gradually weakened, and the earth returned to calm. People were not as frightened as before, but there were still many people standing in the middle of the road, motionless and did not dare to go upstairs to go home. The two women who just cried and called their parents also got into their car and went to school to pick up their children.

Li Chao and Ruosi hurriedly took out their cell phones to call their family and friends, but found that they could not call anyway.

Li Chao had no choice but to edit the text message and send it to Qingrou, her parents, relatives and friends, asking about their situation. After waiting for a long time, he did not receive a reply.

Li Chao thought that this place was closest to Lele Kindergarten, so he drove over. Ruosi didn't dare to go back to the company and her residence, so she followed Li Chao with her.

When I arrived at the Third Experimental Kindergarten in the city, I saw the teachers and the children all moved to the playground.

Lele's eyes were pointed, and he suddenly saw his uncle. He was running over with a small schoolbag and threw himself into his uncle's arms. The boy didn't seem to be afraid at all, and he also told Lichao excitedly that he had just fallen asleep and dreamed that someone was shaking his bed hard, and then he heard the alarm. Then the teacher called the children to get up and run out. Then the boys and girls were only wearing small Nene, and then many children cried...

Li Chao asked if he was afraid?

Lele shook her head and said nothing was enough, but she was not as fierce as the pirate ship! Lele also said that he helped the teacher coax other crying girls.

Li Chao praised him for his bravery, and then sent Wanru a text message saying that he had brought Lele back to Yu Niang's place.

After a while, Li Chao received text messages from his family and friends to report safety, but Haoran never replied.

Li Chao took all the elderly in the family to his parents' home to settle down and set up a tent in the yard.

At this time, everyone got news online that an earthquake of magnitude 8 or above occurred in the Longbei Mountain Fault Zone, and the epicenter was in Wenxian.

Later, news came again that Guanxian City was seriously affected, many houses collapsed, and many people died.

Li Chaoyue became more and more anxious when she heard this. Haoran’s ranch was on the other side of Longbei Mountain, very close to the epicenter. He...will he be fine, right?

At this time, Li Chao received two text messages from Hong Lin from Canada. She said the phone could not be reached and asked everyone if they were all right and if anyone was injured. Ask Li Chao to reply to her immediately after receiving it; the second one, Hong Lin asked Li Chao to help her contact Haoran. At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the two were chatting in video. Suddenly, he saw that he was shaking very hard, and then there was no signal and he lost contact with him. Hong Lin said she was very worried about Haoran, and said she was very anxious and scared.

Li Chao immediately sent a text message to reply to Hong Lin and comforted her. At this time, Qingrou called Li Chao from her home on a landline and told Li Chao that she would go to Guanxian with her classmates to rescue the injured when she settled her parents.

Li Chao was anxious when he heard this and told her not to leave. He rushed over to see her immediately.

After putting down the phone, Li Chao asked Wanru, Feifei and Ruosi to take good care of the elderly, saying that he and Qingrou went to Guanxian to save the people.

Yu Niang was very scared when she heard this, but she couldn't stop her son. Shangguan Zhongxuan was very calm. He said, "Maomao, go, but you and Rourou must be careful. If you have any questions, you should call us." Li Chao agreed and left in a hurry.

When he arrived at Qingrou's house, he realized that Qingrou's mother was busy saving people in the hospital and could not come back at all. So he took out a tent from his car and helped Qingwenyuan set it up on the playground. When Qingrou's mother came back, he could also rest here. After settled Qingrou's father, Li Chao and Qingrou drove out to buy a lot of medicines, food and water, stuffed a full car, and then walked towards Guanxian City.

Along the way, I saw many taxis and private cars from Jindu carrying wounded in the disaster area towards Jindu. Many of the wounded were so scary that they were so scary.

The closer they are to Guanxian County, the more houses they see collapsed. Finally, when they came to Guanxian City, Li Chao and Qingrou couldn't believe their eyes. Guanxian City, the beautiful and peaceful tourist resort in the past, was filled with collapsed houses and broken walls. Looking around, they were devastated and thrilling.

The people in the square have calmed down and have begun to distribute food and water in an organized manner.

Li Chao drove the car to a temporary rescue station, unloaded all the things on the car here, and then asked a volunteer who looked like something that they needed to do, even if they spoke.

Before he finished speaking, a man with bloody body, simple plywood on his arms and swollen face ran in from outside. He asked Li Chao anxiously: "Is that car outside yours?"

Li Chao said yes.

The man begged anxiously, "Can you send us to Jindu immediately? My baby and my dad are seriously injured. It should be fast. I'm afraid it's too late."

Without saying a word, Lichao went out to open the car door and let the wounded and his family get in the car. Qingrou sat in the back seat to take care of the little boy with a bandage on his head and was already unconscious; two old men were also squeezed in the back seat, and were both injured and kept moaning in pain. The man sitting in the passenger seat was full of tears, and looked at the relatives in the back seat, begging Lichao in a hoarse voice, "Brother, please drive quickly, my baby is afraid it won't work!"

Li Chao's face was solemn, and he replied, "Don't worry, brother, I will drive very quickly."

Li Chao turned on the emergency lights and turned on the expressway directly. He ran to Jindu like lightning along the way. When he was about to enter the city, Li Chao was afraid of traffic jams in the city, so he got on the Ringcheng Expressway and drove directly to the emergency room of the Armed Police General Hospital.

As soon as he stopped the car, Li Chao jumped down and shouted to the nurses and doctors: "Save people quickly, come and save people quickly, and the seriously injured people who were taken from the disaster area!"

When the nurses heard this, they pushed the surgical cart and rushed over...

The General Hospital of the Armed Police has received many wounded people sent from the disaster area, many of which are seriously injured, and they all need to be transfusions immediately. The plasma in the hospital's blood bank is in a hurry. Many brothers, sisters, ordinary citizens, and many volunteers who are helping in the hospital have heard the news and lined up outside the blood center in the hospital to donate blood.

Later, according to statistics and reports from major media, in more than ten days after the earthquake, a large number of citizens lined up in Jindu and surrounding cities and counties every day to donate blood in major and small hospitals. These are filled with people's noble blood full of love, saving the lives of countless seriously injured people in the disaster area. This is the true love, selfless love, and boundless love!

Li Chao and Qingrou both donated blood in the General Hospital of the Armed Police. Later, more and more wounded people were sent from the disaster area, so they did not go to Guan County again, but stayed in the hospital with the volunteers to help doctors and nurses treat the wounded and save lives.

When Li Chao and Qing Rou returned home exhausted, it was past two in the morning.

No one at home slept soundly. Seeing that the two people were covered in blood finally came back safely, they breathed a sigh of relief.

When Pang Min heard that they had not eaten yet, she gave a lot of blood to the evening. She immediately went to the kitchen with Ganrong to cook brown sugar fermented glutinous rice for them, and was busy hot food and rice.

Li Chao and Qingrou were eating voraciously, telling the family the tragic situation of the disaster area to their families while eating. Everyone sighed...

The next morning, Shangguan Zhongxuan and Yuniang asked the group to donate 50 million yuan of donations to the disaster area for disaster relief and relief, and also donated 3,000 tents and nine large picnic cars to the disaster area. Later, Shangguan Zhongxuan and Yuniang donated twice to the disaster area in their personal name, and donated more than 130 million yuan of donations to the disaster area. Pang Min and Gan Rong gave all their donations to the disaster area to Li Chao and asked him to donate them to the disaster area.

A few days later, Wen's Real Estate, which is also a large consortium in Jindu real estate, also donated money to the disaster area, which is also amazing. The total donation totaled more than 368,000 yuan...

Li Chao and Wanru discussed and closed the hotel for a few days. Everyone who wanted to go to Guanxian as a volunteer, but needed staff there. As a result, almost everyone in the hotel signed up to go to Guanxian as a volunteer.

The picnic car donated by Linyun Group arrived in Jindu overnight. After a brief training was given to Li Chao and other volunteers, the manufacturer's technicians took Wanru and others to prepare the ingredients, and rushed to the disaster area with nine large picnic carts.

Li Chao and the others arrived at Guanxian and parked the car at two large residential resettlement sites. Li Chao, Kaizi, Xiaoqiang, Zhuozi and Xiaohu, and Kaizi Xiaoqiang's other apprentices, a total of nine chefs, each with a picnic cart. The technicians who accompanied the car also taught them to debug the stoves and equipment step by step. The others all helped them nine. Everything was ready, so everyone started to make rice.

A car can provide seven or eight hundred boxes of meals a day, which can solve the catering business of thousands of disaster victims and rescue volunteers. When the day is over, everyone is exhausted. When they are resting, Li Chao rests his head on Qingrou's legs and falls asleep as soon as he closes his eyes. Qingrou is also very tired. Sometimes he helps Li Chao massage his head, and as he presses, he falls asleep on the seat in the cab...

Xiaofei and Zeyu also came to Guanxian City to find Li Chao once, but they couldn't stand the smell of disgusting in the air. After two or three hours, they left Li Chao with more than 3 million yuan in cash, saying that it was donated by them, Guagua and several other friends to the victims here. Putting it here on Li Chao would make them feel more at ease than donating it to any other machine. Then the two of them drove away with a dry retching.

Li Chao gave Wanru the money and asked her to take the girls back to Jindu to purchase ingredients, do a good job in logistics, and be their transportation team leader.

But Qingrou was unwilling to leave and said she wanted to accompany Li Chao, otherwise she would not feel at ease. Xiaomeng didn't want to leave Kaizi, and Xiaoqi didn't want to leave, so Li Chao let them go.

Time is quickly lost, but the road from Guanxian City to Haoran and their ranch has not been opened yet. Moreover, Li Chao has not received any news from Haoran, and Li Chao feels worse and worse. He is really afraid that something will happen to Haoran, and he regrets that he should not let him go that morning, but things in the world are impermanent, who can think of it?

Because the weather gets hotter and hotter, the bodies of victims buried in the ruins that have not been excavated have begun to smell. The soldiers who are on the front line of rescue and disaster relief are disgusting and unable to eat.

After Li Chao learned the news, he immediately asked Wanru and Ruosi and others to buy hundreds of thickened protective masks from Jindu and distribute them to the cute and lovely rescue soldiers. He also specially transferred three picnic cars to their camp to cook delicious meals for the soldiers fighting on the front line.

On that day, when the soldiers had their meals, Li Chao and the others were packing their things, they saw a soldier leading a few soldiers wearing steel helmets and officer-like soldiers walking towards them.

One of the sturdy officers walked up to Li Chao and others, saluted them first, and then said to Li Chao: "Chao Chao, don't you know me?" He took off his mask and helmet as he said.
