At that time, they were surveying the terrain in the area when a sudden heavy rain caused a landslide.
Their team was fine, but the road was blocked.
Seeing several locals trapped by the landslide while passing through, they immediately launched a rescue operation.
Qin Yang rescued a family of three at that time, and Li Wei’s team also saved two people.
Seeing that several people remembered, Bai Xiaoming continued, "The man was seriously injured and despite several months of care at home, he didn’t recover and passed away before the Spring Festival. The mother and child are his wife and son."
Li Wei was confused, "Everyone knows Mr. Qin saved them, what are they doing looking for Mr. Qin, surely they aren’t here to show gratitude?"
If it was to show gratitude, they should have done it long ago, it’s been more than half a year.
Bai Xiaoming snorted coldly, "If it were gratitude it would be good, I heard that after the man died, the woman and the child were driven out of their in-law’s home, left with nowhere to go, so they turned to Mr. Qin. They had come over once in the first month of the lunar year, but Mr. Qin wasn’t back from his hometown then, so I handed them off to the union to deal with."
He thought this matter was settled after handing it to the union and didn’t even mention it to Qin Yang.
Little did he know that so much time had passed and the issue had still not been resolved.
While they were talking, the office phone rang.
Bai Xiaoming answered the call, his face darkened further, and his tone was questioning, "Is our union just for show? A single case taking this long to handle and still unresolved, needing Mr. Qin to personally intervene?"
Not knowing what was said on the other end, Bai Xiaoming hung up the phone still with a scowl.
"Mr. Qin, I’m afraid you’ll need to take a look in person."
Qin Yang turned to Zhang Dawei, "What’s the situation at the gate?"
Zhang Dawei moved his lips, looking towards Bai Xiaoming.
Bai Xiaoming frowned, "What are you looking at me for? Mr. Qin asked you, just tell him."
Zhang Dawei immediately stood up straight, "When I passed by the gate just now, quite a crowd had gathered. Some people were saying the child belongs to Mr. Qin, and the mother and child came to hold Mr. Qin accountable. Others seemed to know Mr. Qin was their savior. I’m not sure what the woman has been saying, but most people seem to pity them, with even some saying, since Mr. Qin saved them, he should take responsibility to the end..."
"Bullshit," Li Wei cursed directly, "Now saving people is wrong? If that’s the case, no one should bother being a good Samaritan anymore. What kind of people are these?"
"Let’s go and take a look."
Avoiding is not a solution to the problem, yet Qin Yang’s expression was particularly icy.
At the company’s main gate, there was already quite a crowd, and even two union workers were visible.
Someone shouted, "Mr. Qin is here."
The crowd opened up a path, and Qin Yang also saw the two people surrounded in the middle.
The child looked about four or five years old, frail and skinny, wearing clothes that were too large for him, making his pale, malnourished appearance even more pronounced.
The woman beside him didn’t look much better. Clothes patched upon patches, very thin, with dry, tangled hair that looked even worse than a beggar on the street.
Both were kneeling on the ground, tears on the woman’s face.
