Lu Jing stopped worrying about Yaoyao’s condition at this point, and pulled out his phone to make a call to Jiang Ye.
At the moment, Captain Jiang was training on the field, and the first few rings went unanswered.
Finally, he continued to hear the ringing and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
Upon seeing the caller, he nearly jumped. It was his wife’s call, and this sort of relentless calling was truly rare.
He hurriedly answered.
He sounded quite guilty.
But the person on the phone didn’t care about that, nor had the time to:
"Jiang Ye, can you inform Instructor Qin to come to the hospital? There’s been a mass poisoning incident at Xiao Kai’s kindergarten, and the children have all been taken to our hospital’s emergency department."
"Yes, hurry and notify him. I need to hang up now; the children are crying uncontrollably."
Jiang Ye indeed heard a chorus of crying sounds through the phone:
After he responded, the call was ended.
At this point, Jiang Ye looked towards Old Qin, who was still leading the training not far away:
"Old Qin, come here," he called.
"Old Jiang, what’s the matter?" he asked.
Obviously, he was still unaware of the situation.
Jiang Ye hesitated to speak, though he had to.
"Old Qin, we need to go to the hospital immediately."
"To the hospital? What for?"
"Something happened at xx kindergarten."
"What? What could happen at a kindergarten? What exactly is going on?"
Thinking of his son, who was at that kindergarten, Old Qin felt a sudden twist in his heart.
"Just calm down, we’re going there right now."
"Alright, alright, let’s go."
Naturally, they couldn’t just leave the team members behind, so they called over a few squad leaders:
"You guys continue with the training; Instructor Qin and I are going to the hospital."
"Yes, Captain Jiang!"
Then, the two left in great strides.
They even rushed to the hospital without bothering to change out of their sweat-soaked training uniforms. Official source ıs novel⸺fire.net
In the emergency department, the children had mostly already been given IV fluids, and the necessary tests had been carried out, and most parents had arrived as well.
Between the children’s cries, there was no shortage of parents scolding.
Lu Jing held onto the chubby child and hadn’t let go for a moment, the teachers tried contacting Instructor Qin and his wife, but no one answered their phones. Fortunately, Lu Jing was there, so the teachers went to tend to their other duties.
A few minutes later, both Jiang Ye and Old Qin appeared in the emergency department.
Old Qin immediately spotted his son:
Big tough guy that he was, his eyes reddened instantly.
On the way there, Old Qin had imagined numerous possible scenarios, frightening himself terribly.
Seeing his dad, the chubby boy, who had just managed to stop crying, started again.
After all, this was his real dad appearing, and naturally, he needed to vent even more.
"Daddy, wuu wuu wuu..."
Lu Jing stepped aside, and Old Qin hugged his son tightly:
"Xiao Kai, daddy’s here. Sorry, daddy was late," he apologized.
Though the chubby boy was crying, it wasn’t thoughtless crying. Hearing his dad was consumed with guilt, he quickly said:
"Daddy, Xiao Kai is alright, don’t worry."
It turned out to be him comforting his old father.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, if daddy doesn’t believe, you can ask Aunt Lu; she has been with Xiao Kai the whole time."
Old Qin was indeed very grateful to Lu Jing.
Otherwise, if his son had been left all alone, how heartbreaking would that have been?
"Sister-in-law, thank you!" he said sincerely.
