Chapter 197: Chapter 200 He’s Crazy! _1

The one calling was Qu Feng, the Mine Manager of Meadow Coal Mine Shaft No. 4 from the Yang family.

Yang Gang’s heart sank, sensing trouble.

He had just been praying that no more issues would arise during this period, but trouble had arrived faster than expected, and it was a huge one at that.

Mining accidents have always been sensitive issues within the country.

In state-owned coal mine incidents, even officials who don’t have much association with the accident would be penalized.

The punishments for private coal mine incidents are even more severe.

Closing the mine and revoking the mining qualification are just minor consequences.

If there are significant casualties, then the old man of the Yang family, who is already under scrutiny, could potentially be criminally liable for more than just tax evasion.

It could be foreseen that if the Yang family’s mine accident was deliberately publicized by some people, the Yang family would truly fall into a situation of no return.

He managed his emotions, calmed down and asked lightly, "What exactly happened? Gas explosion, or water inflow in the mine? How many people are trapped underground?"

"It’s a water inflow incident. For now, a total of 105 miners are trapped underground, and we have no news of their living status," Qu Feng said."

"105 people?" Yang Gang took a deep breath: "Have the rescue efforts started?"

"We have started the rescue operation at the mine. We also contacted the provincial work safety administration and the coal mine bureau to request their assistance in the rescue operation." Qu Feng paused for a moment, then asked apprehensively, "Young Master Yang, the situation was urgent at the time, I didn’t think much and reported it directly to the safety administration and coal mine bureau..."

"No problem, you did the right thing. Such a large-scale mining accident is impossible to conceal. Deliberately concealing it will only provide ammunition to some unscrupulous people." Yang Gang said lightly.

He paused for a second before he asked, "Has the government’s aid arrived yet?"

"Not yet." Qu Feng hesitated and finally said, "Young Master Yang, I think I saw a reporter earlier."

Yang Gang sneered, "Ignore him. You guys concentrate on preparing the rescue operations. I’m heading over now."

...

The news about Yang Gang’s mine disaster spread rapidly in Hangcheng, and soon a horde of reporters crawled out of bed and rushed to the accident site.

Yang Fei also heard the news. She immediately called Yang Gang, who told her to stay home and that he would handle everything.

But Yang Fei ignored Yang Gang’s advice and went directly to the accident site.

Gu Xiaorou also arrived at the accident site almost at the same time.

By then, the coal mine where the accident happened was already surrounded by crowds.

"The Yang family is probably ruined now." Someone sighed.

"Yeah, a mining disaster at this time, not even divine intervention could save the Yang family now," another person added.

"Actually, the old man of the Yang family is quite decent."

"The one shouldering the most pressure now must be Yang Gang, the only son of the Yang family. With the old man detained, Yang Gang is the core pillar of the Yang family. Being so young, he has to face such a difficult and desperate situation," another person added.

...

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Yang Fei felt like her heart was being twisted in pain.

Her foolish brother was carrying so much burden, yet he never showed it.

Behind his simple words, ’I will handle everything,’ how much pressure was he bearing?

Gu Xiaorou glanced at Yang Fei without saying anything.

...

At the entrance of Shaft No. 3 of the affected coal mine.

"You guys, go down there and have a look," Qu Feng instructed a few miners.

But the miners were clearly reluctant to do so.

"We lack rescue equipment in our mine. It’s better to wait for the government rescue team," one miner suggested.

Qu Feng was a bit annoyed, "Time is life. For every minute we waste, our buddies underground face greater danger!"

"Well, why don’t you lead the way and go down first?" A miner retorted.

"You..." Qu Feng was choked up.

At this moment, suddenly a voice spoke out lightly, "I’ll go down the mine."

As soon as this statement was made, the noisy minefield was suddenly quiet.

"Young Master Yang, you can’t go down the mine. You’re the only son of the Yang family, you can’t risk your life like this," Qu Feng immediately said.

Yang Gang waved his hand and calmly replied, "My life is no more valuable than the lives of my brothers in the mine. Prepare the ropes quickly."

Yang Gang’s wild move dumbfounded everyone watching the mine disaster rescue operation.

"Wait, wait, is this a joke? That’s Yang Gang, the only son of the Yang family. He’s going down the mine himself for the rescue? This..."

"Damn it! I used to hear that this Yang family’s young master was extremely extravagant, and I had a very negative impression of him. But now! Damn, this young master of the Yang family is a real man! Tell me, in all the mine disasters in the country, which leader would risk his life to take the lead in going down the mine to rescue people?"

"May God bless Young Master Yang."

...

Yang Gang’s madness had also stumped the journalists who were covering the mine disaster.

"His father is in deep trouble, and as the only son of the family, Yang Gang is actually taking the initiative to go down the mine for the rescue. Has he gone mad? The rescue from a water leakage accident in a coal mine is not safer than from a gas explosion. After a water leakage accident in the mine, it is extremely easy to cause oxygen deficiency and collapse underground. If there is a collapse during the rescue, both the miners who were trapped before and those who later join the rescue are sure to die." A reporter stared in disbelief.

...

As Yang Gang was preparing to go down the mine, Yang Fei and Gu Xiaorou suddenly ran over.

"Yang Gang! You can’t go down the mine!" Yang Fei’s emotions were somewhat out of control, tears brimming in her eyes.

Yang Gang looked at Yang Fei, whose eyes were full of tears, and slightly frowned, "Didn’t I tell you to stay at home?"

"I won’t stay! What if something happens to you? What about grandma? What about my sister? What about me?" Yang Fei said as she tried to pull Yang Gang.

Yang Gang looked coldly at Gu Xiaorou: "Xiaorou, hold Yang Fei."

Gu Xiaorou looked at Yang Fei, her voice faint, "You really intend to go down the mine yourself?"

"Yes." Yang Gang replied.

Gu Xiaorou smiled bitterly: "I understand."

What else could she do?

Knowing Yang Gang as well as she did, when this man looked at her like this, it meant he was ready to die.

For the Yang family, which had little to do with him, he was even willing to sacrifice his own life.

He was the most foolish man in the world.

And she, who had fallen in love with this foolish man, was irretrievably foolish.

If she hadn’t fallen in love with this man, perhaps she would have been a happy woman.

But alas, she had fallen for him.

It must be God’s punishment for her.

...

Gu Xiaorou gathered her emotions and held Yang Fei.

Yang Gang looked at the two women and smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Because, I believe you will bless me."

He took out two safety knots from his pocket and shook them. Then he hung the two safety knots around his neck and descended directly into the mine.

Inspired by Yang Gang, many miners also went down the mine to participate in the rescue operation. Even the crowd watching the mine disaster flocked to sign up to voluntarily participate in the rescue of the mine disaster.

Yang Gang’s move was like the butterfly effect, turning the previously independent rescue operation of the Yang family’s Meadow Coal Mine into a nationwide rescue effort.

In the temporary detention center of the Tianhe District Police Station in Hangcheng, Yang Lin stared blankly at the live broadcast of the mine disaster on TV, lost in thought.
