Chapter 13

As the last trapped and injured person was successfully rescued, thunderous applause erupted outside the construction site. Perhaps Xiao Sheng's actions had inspired the firefighters on the front lines, and the raging fire, under the collective efforts of everyone, gradually diminished and came under control.

Unlike the others who were so excited, Xiao Sheng, with a gloomy face, closely followed the severely injured little boy. His face was ashen, and his breathing was rapid, with his chest heaving up and down. These were clear symptoms of severe carbon dioxide poisoning, exacerbated by the intense heat from the fire. Even with the use of water barrels and tap water to cool him down, the scorching temperature still left the boy extremely weak, with his bodily functions rapidly deteriorating. If he wasn't rescued in time, even if Xiao Sheng had the strength to save him from the fire, he wouldn't escape the call of death.

Inside the ambulance, Xiao Sheng shouted for everyone to make room to allow the air to circulate. The oxygen mask was quickly placed over the little boy's mouth and nose, but the boy, who was convulsing uncontrollably, was in a very critical condition.

Seeing the boy's state, Xiao Sheng organized the doctors to perform simple artificial resuscitation. He then turned and pushed through the crowd behind him, running to a black Mercedes parked outside. He swiftly opened the car door, took out a dark green canvas bag from under the driver's seat, and pulled out a leather pouch. He then returned to the ambulance carrying the critically injured little boy.

"Remove his outer clothing, quickly, tilt his body towards me, and the nurse, prepare the rescue needle," Xiao Sheng commanded the medical staff like a chief doctor. He opened the leather pouch, revealing neatly arranged silver needles. His rough fingertips glided over the second row of needles, and he pulled one out. After a brief roasting over an alcohol lamp, Xiao Sheng, with a serious expression, pressed the slender silver needle into the boy's neck.

Xiao Sheng's technique was very proficient, and the force he applied between his fingers was just right. The nurse, standing beside him, held a white towel and repeatedly wiped the sweat from Xiao Sheng's forehead. Xiao Sheng, with a focused expression, kept his eyes fixed on the little boy, who was now covered with silver needles.

When the last needle from the second row was inserted into the boy's body, Xiao Sheng suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp as he sternly said to the nurse:

"Rescue needle." The nurse, hearing Xiao Sheng's words, quickly handed him the prepared syringe. Xiao Sheng, supporting the little boy, injected the liquid from the syringe into the boy's vein. After he finished, the boy, who had been convulsing, gradually calmed down, his breathing stabilized, and his face regained a slight rosy hue.

Chen Shuyuan and the female police officer, who were standing nearby, witnessed the entire rescue process. It could only be described as miraculous. In just five minutes, this mysterious man, with his nearly perfect acupuncture technique, had brought a boy on the brink of death back to life. Such medical skills would be considered expert-level even in a large hospital.

"The condition is temporarily stable, but it's not advisable to move him now. In five minutes, I will remove the silver needles, and you should immediately send him to the hospital for further treatment. He should be fine," Xiao Sheng said as he was about to stand up. The crowd around him let out a collective sigh of relief, followed by thunderous applause. This tall, strong man had demonstrated the true meaning of love through his actions, and everyone present was deeply moved.

Even someone as experienced as Xiao Sheng felt a bit embarrassed in such a scene. Saving the child was an instinctive action for him. As a special operations team member who operated on the border, wasn't every mission aimed at maintaining social stability?

Xiao Sheng, wanting to quickly turn and leave, suddenly stood up and turned to go, but he didn't expect the female police officer to be standing behind him. The officer, with her 36D chest, was standing particularly high. The country bumpkin, trying to run away, ended up bumping his forehead into her chest, which made Xiao Sheng feel dizzy!

Wang Li, the youngest deputy section chief in the police force, had work abilities that matched her appearance and large chest! She excelled in all subjects during her time at the police academy and solved major cases one after another after joining the force. Wang Li, known as the "Flower of the Police Force," was most "ashamed" of her prominent chest, which drew attention wherever she went and made running difficult. After the impact from Xiao Sheng's forehead, the inexperienced Wang Li blushed like a young woman.

In that moment, neither of the two mentioned the incident in front of the crowd. They exchanged a meaningful glance, and a fleeting look of "surprise" flashed in the country bumpkin's eyes. Wang Li, noticing Xiao Sheng's gaze, glared at him and turned away, unwilling to interact with him.

Returning to Chen Shuyuan's side, Xiao Sheng was still wiping his dirty face with a wet towel. Chen Shuyuan, with a serious expression, was reprimanding the project manager standing opposite her. Fortunately, no one was injured today, only some financial losses. If anything serious had happened, Huaxin's reputation would have been completely ruined.

Faced with Chen Shuyuan's fierce questioning and reprimand, the executives could only nod in agreement. After all, there were still many outsiders present, and as the saying goes, "Don't air your dirty laundry in public." Chen Shuyuan would deal with the specific penalties and compensation measures after the board meeting the next morning.

For Chen Shuyuan, tonight had been a harrowing experience. Fortunately, the young security guard standing beside her had repeatedly taken decisive actions, turning the tide. She turned her bright eyes towards Xiao Sheng, who was still savoring the impact. When he saw Chen Shuyuan's clear, watery eyes, he immediately resumed his usual nonchalant demeanor and said lightly:

"You don't need to say thanks. How about you repay me with your body? What do you think?"

Chen Shuyuan glared at him, but she wasn't as repulsed as when they first met. Through their brief interactions, she had come to know that this man, who liked to take small advantages, had a kind heart and a manly side.

The fire at the construction site, under the efforts of the firefighters, was gradually extinguished. The areas still emitting thick smoke were being suppressed with high-pressure water guns. Seeing that the situation was under control, Chen Shuyuan gave a few instructions and was about to leave. However, just as she turned, she was suddenly stopped by Xiao Sheng.

Xiao Sheng, with one hand to his ear, had a serious expression and stood in front of Chen Shuyuan. He spoke into the microphone in a low voice:

"Report the direction of the fugitive." His voice was soft, but Chen Shuyuan and Wang Li, standing beside him, heard it clearly.
