Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The officer came out to receive Yu Minmin personally.
“Regarding this issue, should we inform Mr. Gu? A while ago, he was standing by the shore…” the commander seemed a little fearful of Gu Jingze.
“No need. I have already told him. Let’s go. He knows where I am going,” she replied immediately.
She was not lying. Gu Jingze knew where she would head to but he would not agree to it.
After hearing what she said, the commander thought to himself, After all, they belong to the Gu family. He should not interfere with what a sister-in-law and brother had agreed upon.
Besides, just as she had mentioned, she could recognize her husband at once if she went along with the search party. However, the island was in chaos and they were not sure about the situation there. What if Mr. President was unconscious, injured or even… dead…
With Yu Minmin around, she would be able to recognize him right?
Commanders like them could only see Mr. President during special occasions such as during New Year or important meetings. Apart from these occasions, they could only see Gu Jingming on the Internet, Yu Minmin was definitely more familiar with him compared to them.
As for safety issues, they would need to pay extra attention along the way and not let Yu Minmin wander off alone. It should not be a problem if they were more careful.
The commanders ushered her on board the ship.
The ship sailed across the straits and went straight for the island.
The situation on the island was indeed terrible. The only boardwalk that stretched into the island was hit by the strong currents, leaving the island in isolation. The electricity and water supply was also cut off.
Seeing a ship approaching the island brought hope to everyone.
“Look! Someone’s here to rescue us!”
“That’s great! I knew we wouldn’t be forsaken.”
“That’s for sure. Mr. President has also come personally to rescue us. Why would we be forsaken? Mr. President is still with us too.”
Everyone watched the crew getting off the ship, the commander asked anxiously, “Where’s Mr. President?”
The leader stiffened and dared not say a word. He looked at the commander and knew that he must be of some high ranks. The island was long forgotten, but because of the typhoon, many important people of the country came to take part in the rescue works. These were all very important people in the country. He was afraid that he might cause some trouble if he was not careful.
The look on the leader’s face made the commander felt that something was wrong. His expression darkened and got very worked up. He grabbed another resident’s shoulder and demanded, “I am asking you now. What happened to Mr. President?”
That person shuddered. He turned his head and pointed towards the back, “He’s… inside…”
The commander snorted and went back to the ship to usher Yu Minmin.
Yu Minmin had already heard what the resident said. Her heart skipped a beat and all of a sudden, she became a little terrified.
She was afraid that Gu Jingming would not return again.
What should she do then? What should she do?
Jumping off the ship, she made a dash ahead.
The people on the ship quickly ran after her.
After running a distance, she saw a crowd around a house. Their expressions looked worried and they were talking among themselves.
Suddenly, the sky was torn by lightning and the thunder roared. Yu Minmin halted her footsteps. Anxiety increased as her eyes shifted. Then, she ran towards the house.
“Move out of the way! Let me in!”
She came to the door but was held back strongly by another person.
“You cannot enter. No one is allowed to come near! This is a rule for everyone!” the person at the door remarked.
“Let me in!” Yu Minmin shouted.
“I already said no!”
“Hey, let her in, she’s Mrs. President.”
The commander came rushing over and called out when he saw what had happened.
The person at the door was shocked for a moment and let loose of his grip.
All eyes were on Yu Minmin as she ran into the house hurriedly.
It was an ordinary residential house. There were still some guards of his convoy next to Gu Jingming.
Yu Minmin’s sudden appearance shocked everyone but they were also relieved upon seeing her.
Yu Minmin came, which also meant that the rescue team had also arrived.
“Madam.”
“Madam, you are here.”
“Where’s Mr. President?” Yu Minmin asked right away.
“He’s inside… Madam, Mr. President…” the one speaking bowed his head in silence and Yu Minmin’s heart sank once again. Then, she barged into the room.
Upon opening the door, the pungent smell of medicine filled her nostrils.
Gu Jingming was lying on the bed. His body was wrapped in bandages and the white cloth was stained with blood. His brows furrowed and he laid there motionlessly.
Yu Minmin felt a sharp pierce through her heart. “Gu Jingming.” She ran over quickly.
She threw herself next to him and caressed the back of his hands. It was cold. With her hand shaking, she held his hand and tried to warm it up. She lifted her head and called out his name softly, “Gu Jingming? Gu Jingming, wake up…”
The doctor told her, “Madam, Mr. President had fainted. We don’t have sufficient medical supplies on the island but Mr. President was badly injured, so we stitched up his wounds without using anesthesia, and it has been about an hour since Mr. President lost consciousness.”
“What? Badly injured?” Yu Minmin looked up and asked.
“Mr. President was giving out orders in a room but the waves came crashing on the house and the wooden beam collapsed,” the doctor explained.
“…” Yu Minmin’s heart wrenched.
“Fortunately, Mr. President is very strong-willed. After we rescued him, he was still conscious but due to excessive loss of blood, his body became very weak. I suggest taking Mr. President to a better hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
Yu Minmin raised her head and looked at those peaceful eyes. They were shut tightly and his good-looking face lost all colors. She could not help but lift her hand and gently brush his hair to the side. Then, she nodded and said, “Take him to the boat. We are going to another hospital.”

Gu Jingming was then brought up to the naval ship by his convoy.
The best hospital in S City was waiting to receive him with an individual ward.
The media has also begun reporting that Mr. President was fine. He had only sustained minor injuries and it would not threaten his life, but was sent to the hospital for treatment.
