Chapter 199: Chapter 202: I Just Feel Sorry for That Idiot_1

Gu Xiaorou looked at the mine entrance and said softly, "It’s ok, I was just... just feeling heartbroken for that fool."

Her expression was calm, yet tears trailed down her face.

Yang Fei watched Gu Xiaorou’s tears, about to say something, when suddenly, there came a cheer from the pit below.

"Young Master Yang has surfaced, he is fine!"

Hearing this, both Yang Fei and Gu Xiaorou rushed to the entrance of the mine.

In a short while, Yang Gang ascended back to the surface on a newly repaired mine elevator.

Yang Fei and Gu Xiaorou threw themselves at him. As Yang Gang held a girl in each arm, he reveled in a momentary feeling of being a ’winner in life’.

But quickly, he returned to reality, his smile tinged with bitterness.

Though he’d loved to have them both, reality boiled down to the cruel fact that he couldn’t afford to hurt either Yang Fei or Gu Xiaorou.

Gathering his emotions, Yang Gang gave a faint smile, "I’m okay. You two please step aside, I need to direct the rescue operation."

"Rescue?" Yang Fei’s eyes lit up, "Are there still survivors in the mine?"

"105 survivors." Yang Gang replied with a faint smile.

His words sent shock waves through the crowd.

The disaster had trapped 105 miners who were working the night shift. When Yang Gang said there were 105 survivors, that meant...

Everyone was still alive?!!

"Young Master Yang, are they...are they all alive?" Qu Feng asked excitedly.

Yang Gang nodded, "They’re trapped in a hole at the top of the number 2 work area. I think the miners dug this hole secretly to hoard things. Who would’ve thought it would save their lives."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "However, the situation is far from reassuring. Water is still seeping into the mine, the water level keeps rising. In about half an hour, I’m afraid the hole will be filled. Qu, how’s the water pump doing?"

"It’s already pumping water out." Qu Feng replied.

"The pump we have on site is too weak, where is the government’s rescue team?" Yang Gang asked again.

Qu Feng’s face tinted with anger, "They’re still on their way, those bastards are definitely stalling on purpose, they haven’t arrived even after all this time!"

A cold spark flashed in Yang Gang’s eyes, "Give me the number of the government official in charge of the rescue."

"Here’s the number for Zhao Jian, director of the Hangcheng Bureau of Coal Safety." Qu Feng handed Yang Gang a number.

Without hesitation, Yang Gang dialed the number.

After a long wait, the call was finally answered.

"Hello, who is it?" a lazy voice came on the other end.

Yang Gang replied coldly, "Director Zhao, this is Yang Gang, the heir of the Yang family. There’s been a flooding accident in the Yang family’s Meadow Coal Mine, 105 people are trapped, and they are all alive. We only have thirty minutes to rescue them. If the action is delayed, all 105 people will drown. Director Zhao, are you prepared to shoulder this responsibility? By the way, there are journalists from dozens of media outlets at the scene right now, including reporters from the central media..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jian broke out into a cold sweat.

If 105 people drowned alive because of his inefficiency, he can’t even imagine what would happen to him.

If it was further discovered that he intentionally delayed the rescue operation, then...he’d probably be burnt alive by angry families of victims!

Grinding his teeth, he thought, "I was lied to. Whoever it was told me that all 105 miners were already dead, so I agreed to delay the rescue. But now, they’re all alive. If I continue to procrastinate, that’d be a crime, and it’d be a grave one at that! Never mind that now, we need to save lives!"

After hanging up, Zhao Jian immediately ordered the rescue team to speed up towards the mining area.

...

This was a night of disaster.

The Yang family’s mine was flooded, with 105 workers trapped underground, their prospects of survival slim.

This was a shocking night.

As the only son of the Yang family, Yang Gang, despite the risks of a cave-in or suffocation, participated in the rescue operation. Even when everyone else had given up hope, he persevered and braved the danger, diving underwater to search for survivors.

This was also an inspiring night.

When the 105 miners trapped underground came back to the surface one by one, thundering applause erupted at the scene.

A miraculous mine disaster with zero deaths.

Upon surfacing, without warning, the 105 miners all suddenly knelt down before Yang Gang to thank him for saving their lives.

This moment was captured by countless flashes.

The next day.

The influential "Huaxia Youth Daily" reported on this miraculous mine disaster in Hangcheng that had zero deaths. The report particularly mentioned how Yang Gang had risked his own life to descend into the mine to rescue people and hailed Yang Gang as an outstanding contemporary youth.

In the report, the Yang family was depicted in a positive light. The substandard safety measures in the mine and the arrest of Yang Lin due to alleged tax evasion were not mentioned.

This raised many eyebrows.

Meanwhile, local authorities in Hangcheng quickly responded, the confiscation of Yang’s Villa was lifted and Yang Lin was allowed to be released on bail by the Hangcheng Court at noon.

All the Yang family needed to do was post 10 million bail and pledge that Yang Lin would appear whenever summoned to regain his freedom.

The Yang family were ready to welcome him at the police station, but Yang Lin made a decision that left everyone speechless. He refused to post bail, and refused to leave the jail, unless Zhao Wei came to explain everything himself.

To this, Zhao Xinwei, Director of Tianhe Police Station, smiled bitterly, "It seems that Mr. Yang hasn’t forgiven Zhao Wei’s betrayal yet."

Yang Gang rolled his eyes, "This old man sure is stubborn!"

With no other option, they returned to Yang’s villa.

In the afternoon, at a bar in Hangcheng, Li Kun met with Yang Gang.

"Teacher Li, are you here to tell me your decision?" Yang Gang asked with a smile.

Li Kun glanced at Yang Gang, hesitated slightly, and asked faintly, "Does Mr. Yang still need a CEO?"

Yang Gang cracked a smile, "Of course I do."

"Can you persuade the Yang family’s board of directors?" Li Kun posed.

"Even if it means resorting to unscrupulous means, I will make them agree to appoint you as the CEO of the Yang Group." Yang Gang laughed.

"Uh... okay. I’ll deal with my resignation from school in the next few days. As soon as the appointment letter from the Yang Group’s board of directors arrives, I’ll report for duty."

"Ok!" Yang Gang held up a glass of Remy Martin, "Although there are still many difficulties facing the Yang family, I promise that on this platform, I will provide you with the chance to fully flex your business genius. Let’s drink to a successful transition for General Manager Li."

Li Kun also raised his glass, giving a faint smile, "Young Master Yang, this toast, I should be the one to propose it. I have always been proud and there are not many people I admire. But you, Young Master Yang, are one of them. You can take this as flattery, but I really want to say, brilliant Yang Gang, this one’s for you!"
