Qiao Sheng was sweating profusely, and the veins on his forehead were almost bulging. He knew that every second wasted increased the danger.

After much effort, patient persuasion, and the use of force, the vehicle was forcibly guided off the bridge.

After much effort, all vehicles were successfully evacuated, and Qiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Before they could even catch their breath, less than five minutes later, a deafening roar suddenly erupted.

The main section of the Jinghai Bridge collapsed with a roar, and huge blocks of concrete, accompanied by billowing dust, fell into the river, creating splashes several meters high.

The people at the scene were stunned. The drivers who had just been complaining turned pale, their legs went weak, and they were filled with lingering fear.

Qiao Sheng stared at the collapsing bridge. If it weren't for Lu Rou's timely warning and Xu Zheng's decisive decision, the casualties from this disaster would have been unimaginable.

Xu Zheng arrived at the scene shortly afterward, his brows relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief before speaking.

"Thanks to Lu Rou's information, we acted in time and suffered no losses."

Liao Yan stood aside, his face full of shame, and silently lowered his head. The doubts that had been raised earlier vanished without a trace.

News of the Jinghai Bridge collapse with no casualties quickly became a hot topic on various platforms.

This incident has trended on several hot search lists, and even CTS (China Television System) has reposted it.

……

As people were leaving get off work, the afterglow bathed the earth in a warm glow.

Lu Zhiyan arrived at Shi Fei's office on time, carrying a box of anti-swelling ointment, and strode towards Shi Fei.

When Shi Fei saw him, her relaxed expression instantly tensed up. She crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and still asked sharply, "What are you doing here?"

Lu Zhiyan didn't say anything, but walked straight to her, squatted down, and gently held her injured ankle with both hands, his voice softening unconsciously.

"You're angry and don't want to see me, and I don't know why. You're not satisfied with the plan, but I just wanted to see you. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I'm sorry, Feifei." As she spoke, she applied medicine to her foot.

Shi Fei felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly tilted her head back, trying not to let the tears fall.

The hand that was clenched tightly around her clothes betrayed her softened heart at that moment; the anger in her heart had finally dissipated somewhat.

Shi Fei decided to be direct: "Who is that girl?"

Lu Zhiyan asked in confusion, "What girl?"

Shi Fei said irritably, "My brand said you ordered a large batch of jewelry and bags to give to a girl."

She's his girlfriend, why is he giving gifts to other girls? What does that mean? He's having his cake and eating it too. Of course she's angry.

A man who doesn't love himself is like a rotten cabbage.

Lu Zhiyan smiled slightly: "Feifei, so that's what you're angry about. That was a gift for my sister."

Lu Zhiyan added: "My younger sister, sharing the same parents."

Realizing she had misunderstood him, Shi Fei turned her head away from Lu Zhiyan and said, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Zhiyan turned her head back to meet her gaze, her eyes filled with grievance.

"I'm innocent! I asked you out for dinner that day to talk to you about this, but then you said you wanted to break up and got angry and ignored me. I was really confused."

Seeing Shi Fei's rosy cheeks, Lu Zhiyan seized the opportunity and said, "Then let's make up, okay?"

Shi Fei buried her head in his chest and whispered, "Okay."

……

The sky is getting dark and the lanterns are starting to turn on.

Lu Rou slowly woke up in the hospital bed, her head still very dizzy and her thoughts as chaotic as tangled threads.

The lingering pain throughout her body pulled her back from her wandering consciousness, and she subconsciously furrowed her brow.

Once her vision was completely clear, the smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils, and she realized she was in a hospital ward.

Her memories began to rewind; she collapsed the moment the Jinghai Bridge collapsed, because she had interfered too much.

Life and death are predetermined. She forcibly interfered with cause and effect, disrupting the balance of life and death, and she will definitely pay the price.

This incident involved the lives of tens of thousands of people, and all her merits were not enough to offset it, which is why she suffered a backlash and fainted.

Jun Yan pushed open the door and entered, carrying a thermos lunchbox steadily in his hand. He looked at her, who was lost in thought, and called out softly.

"You're awake, are you hungry?"

Lu Rou snapped out of her daze: "It's alright."

Junyan expertly pulled over the bedside table and laid out the food, including delicious chicken soup, soft and sticky rice, and several light seasonal vegetables.

He helped Lu Rou up, scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, carefully blew on it, and brought it to her lips.

"Be careful, it's hot. Drink more."

Lu Rou quietly declined, "I can do it myself."

As she spoke, she reached out to take the spoon, but as soon as she raised her arm slightly, a soreness came over her, and she couldn't muster any strength. Her hand froze in mid-air.

Jun Yan gently held her hand: "Don't move, I'll feed you."

Seeing his natural movements, Lu Rou could only obediently listen, slightly open her mouth, and drink the soup.

"have you eaten?"

Jun Yan then fed him another bite of rice: "You've already eaten."

And so it went, one feeding the other.

The ward was extremely quiet, with only the sound of their heartbeats, one after another, clearly audible.

A subtle, ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air, enveloping them completely, leaving them nowhere to escape.

Lu Rou ate more than half of the food before pushing away the spoonful of rice that Jun Yan was feeding her again: "I don't want to eat anymore."

"Okay." Jun Yan didn't press her any further.

Lu Rou rested her chin on her hand, her eyes smiling, "Thank you for your hard work, Boss Jun."

"Of course." He then started tidying up.

Jun Yan poured a glass of water and placed it next to Lu Rou. Her face was still slightly pale. Recalling the scene of her fainting without warning, he was terrified.

Upon arriving at the hospital, he anxiously awaited the results of all the tests.

However, when he finally received the test results, the doctor told him that Lu Rou didn't have any major problems.

Although the news relieved him slightly, it did not lessen his worries and anxieties in the slightest.

For the first time in his life, he deeply felt that money was the most useless thing in the world.

Aside from anxiously waiting, there's nothing else we can do that's meaningful.

Jun Yan parted his thin lips slightly: "Miss Lu's foresight is truly remarkable."

Lu Rou chuckled: "Boss Jun really knows how to tease me."

Jun Yan looked directly at Lu Rou and asked, "Why did you faint?"

Unable to escape his gaze, Lu Rou said lightly, "Revealing heavenly secrets comes at a price. My merits are insufficient to offset it, so I will naturally suffer a backlash."

A dark glint flashed in Jun Yan's eyes: "Don't do this kind of thing again."

Other people's lives are lives too, but compared to everything she has, they are insignificant.

It was a suggestion on the surface, but a notification in reality. Although she already knew the answer, she still wanted to hear it from him in person.

Lu Rou asked knowingly, "Is Boss Jun worried about me?"

Jun Yan: "I thought it was obvious."

Lu Rou smiled at him and said, "Thank you for your concern, Boss Jun."

While she was unconscious, she could feel the spiritual energy surrounding her. He stayed with her the whole time; without him, she wouldn't have woken up so quickly.

Lu Rou changed the subject and asked softly, "When does Boss Jun plan to go back?"
