"Report, the search and rescue area has been expanded to cover 300 kilometers along the Qiu River, but the target is still not found." The latest report came through the communication device.
"Bang—" Lin Junyang punched the wall: "I can't wait any longer, I'm going to search myself."
He was about to rush out when Chief Guard Wang Jianye grabbed him: "Will you find anything if you search yourself? We've already dispatched everyone we can. As soon as there's any news, we'll know. You've been in the water for a whole day. With your current physical condition, you can't participate in the search and rescue anymore."
"Nonsense, I can do it." Lin Junyang retorted stubbornly.
At this moment, the leader who had been silent raised his head: "Lin Junyang, we understand your feelings. We're anxious about Xingfeng's situation too. Rest assured, we will do our best to rescue him. Your primary task now is to go back and rest. You've been fighting on the front lines of the flood for such a long time, and then you joined the rescue. Wang Jianye is right, your current physical condition doesn't allow you to participate in the search and rescue anymore, and you can't stay here waiting for news either. If there is any news, I will have someone inform you."
"I won't leave." Lin Junyang sat down on the chair firmly.
"This is an order, not just for you. You need to tell your team members to go back and rest too. This time, you all did an excellent job in the flood rescue mission. You are all brave and outstanding members. We don't want you to overexert yourselves and break down after completing the task." Director Lu Tao said, his face turning very serious at the end.
Ever since they heard the news about Mu Xingfeng's incident, an entire team that just returned from the front line of flood rescue had been standing in front of the building, demanding to join the search and rescue mission. They refused to eat, drink, or leave unless they were allowed to participate.
Some of them had been standing there for a whole day. This silent protest, although Director Lu was resistant to it in his heart, it moved him deeply.
Wang Jianye also persuaded: "Go back, if you push yourselves into exhaustion and Xingfeng returns, he definitely won't feel good about it. He might even severely punish you."
Lin Junyang finally nodded. He wasn't afraid of being punished by Mu Xingfeng, but of causing him more distress.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Captain Mu's family has arrived."
Then, a middle-aged couple walked in.
The man wore a Zhongshan suit, with a calm demeanor, followed by an elegant and dignified middle-aged woman, who were Mu Xingfeng's parents.
"Well, how's the situation?"
Mu Zhenzong had rushed over with his wife as soon as he received the news about Mu Xingfeng's accident. At this moment, seeing the situation, he realized that things might be even more serious than he had imagined.
"After receiving the news of Captain Mu's accident, the whole team was dispatched for search and rescue. The search area has been expanded to 300 kilometers along the Qiu River, but there is still no news."
Upon hearing Lu Tao's report, He Yushu grabbed Mu Zhenyu's arm, unable to hold back her tears: "Zhenzong, what should we do? What should we do?"
Mu Zhenyu furrowed his brows and asked, "Are there any tributaries of the Qiu River?"
Director Lu replied: "There are two tributaries of the Qiu River. After Captain Mu's accident, we also dispatched people to search those tributaries, but no target was found."
