Gao Jie sat at the table, facing the food on the table without any appetite.

"Why don't you move?" Cen Aini was surprised, looked at Gao Jie and said, "I see that your face is not very good, is it uncomfortable?" ”

"Nope!" Gao Jie stood up irritably, "I have no appetite, I don't eat." With that, he turned and left.

"Hey, you kid eat a little bit...... Cen Ailian hurriedly shouted, but Gao Jie went straight upstairs.

Back in his room, Gao Jie dialed Li Rui's mobile phone again, but what he heard was a prompt that the other party had turned off the phone, and it was estimated that the battery was out. When she was at work during the day, she called Gong Hao several times, and Gong Hao also told her in detail about the rescue at the scene, but Gao Jie also heard that the progress of the rescue was not large, and the situation was not optimistic, and Gong Hao came back with Gao Changlong in the afternoon, and then there was no news from it.

Gao Jie lay on the bed and looked at the roof silently, she always had the urge to rush to the rescue site in her heart, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't help anything, and the only choice was to wait, waiting for the news to come.

A whole day has passed since the rescue work, and the government departments at the city and county levels have mobilized all their forces, and the current discharge capacity can only reach 1,000 cubic meters per hour, and the water level has finally begun to decline slowly, but it will take at least five or six days to reach the level of rescuing people. At the same time, the rescue command is actively recruiting high-power drainage machines, and the two drilling rigs on the back of the hill are also working intensively, because the drilling rigs are transported in place, it takes time to install, and only two holes were drilled in the evening, but unfortunately they have not found the right position, and there is no hole below.

"It's not going to go on like this, it's been a day and a night, and the progress is almost minimal, so I have to think about it again." After Gao Changlong and Cui Ji'an returned to Pengcheng, Guo Wending was in command at the rescue scene. Originally, this errand belonged to Sun Qinghua, but Guo Wending took the initiative to stay. At this time, Guo Wending had long lost his usual elegance, his originally shiny hair looked a little messy, and his face was full of exhaustion.

"Minister Guo, you've been busy for a day and a night, let's eat something and rest first, I'll keep an eye on it here." Sun Qinghua, who had just hurriedly solved a box of lunches, came over to persuade while wiping his mouth.

In fact, for Guo Wending to stay and preside over the overall situation, Sun Qinghua welcomed it from the bottom of his heart. Now is not the time to fight for power, and Guo Wending's stay is, in a sense, a great share of his pressure and responsibility. Although the two belonged to two factions when they worked together in the city government, and the relationship was not too harmonious, at this time the two were sitting in the same boat and could only help each other.

At the same time, Sun Qinghua also had questions in his heart, why did Guo Wending take the initiative to stay? Although he was the former deputy mayor in charge of production safety, if it was Sun Qinghua himself, he would definitely be able to hide, but Guo Wending not only followed Gao Changlong and Cui Ji'an to the scene but also took the initiative to stay, is it just to save the 46 trapped miners? According to Sun Qinghua and his colleagues, it stands to reason that Guo Wending is not so noble as this, which is not in line with his previous style of acting by sweeping the snow in front of the door.

Sun Qinghua thought about it and estimated that there was only one possibility, and that was for Li Rui! Many people know that Guo Wending took good care of Li Ruina, and arranged for him to be the deputy director of the Planning Commission, and then he was sent to study at the Party School after serving as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and head of the Organization Department, and then sent to Nanqiao to gild, and served as the secretary of the party committee and deputy director of the Coal Management Bureau, which was quite oily. There are even rumors that Li Rui is Guo Wending's illegitimate son. For this kind of rumor, Sun Qinghua just listened to it as a joke, but now it seems that it may really be possible. And Guo Wending and his lover have never had children since they got married, no wonder he is so nervous, if Li Rui has any accidents, then he will not be cut off? Therefore, Sun Qinghua was also quite sympathetic to Guo Wending after coming to this conjecture.

Guo Wending shook his head and said, "Old Sun, aren't you the same!" You still hurry up and squint for a while, and if I can't keep an eye on it at night, you can change me again. ”

Looking at Guo Wending's tired face, Sun Qinghua sighed secretly in his heart, and had no choice but to say: "Okay, then I'll squint for a while, and then I'll change you later." ”

In fact, Guo Wending has already scolded Li Rui countless times in his heart, and this stinky boy doesn't know which tendon is wrong, what can he do? If there is really a bad guy, how should he explain to Zhang Xiuxiu, if Zhang Xiuxiu is angry with him, then he will be unlucky. But the only thing that makes him happy now is that the rope on Li Rui's body has always been in contact with the outside, pulling each other hard every hour to prove that the people inside are safe. Therefore, Guo Wending took the initiative to ask to stay and guide the rescue and rescue.

He rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, clapped his hands at the people in the command and said loudly: "Secretary Gao and Mayor Cui have repeatedly emphasized that saving people's lives must be put first. Now that the rescue is going very slowly, we have to find a different way, and everyone will brainstorm and discuss it to see what else can work. Don't worry about anything, just speak freely, even if you say something wrong, it doesn't matter. ”

At this time, the rescue headquarters was crowded, and experts from several departments such as the Municipal Coal Management Bureau, the Safety Supervision Bureau, and the Water Conservancy Bureau gathered here one after another to make suggestions for the rescue and rescue.

Guo Wending's face was ugly, and when he was about to get angry, one of the experts from the Water Conservancy Bureau raised his hand and said: "I have an immature idea, maybe you can give it a try." ”

"Say it quickly." Guo Wending hurriedly said.

The handful of experts pushed his glasses and said, "We have not succeeded in going down the pipe from above, mainly because we have not found the exact location where the miners are trapped. I think it's better to send someone down than we try our luck on it......"

Before the expert could finish his words, someone interrupted: "Now that the water level has exceeded 500 meters, nearly two meters above the top of the roadway, how can people go down?" ”

There are also many people buzzing in with each other.

Guo Wending knocked on the table with a straight face and scolded: "You all didn't have anything to do just now, and now you can't wait to jump out and question what others say, what do you mean?" Let this expert finish his words first. ”

The person who interrupted was blushing by Guo Wending, and the others lowered their heads one by one and didn't dare to speak again. Only the expert from the Water Conservancy Bureau coughed twice and continued: "What I said about sending people down means sending divers down. Although the water below is all small kiln old empty water, extremely turbid, and there is no visibility at all, someone has already pulled a rope to go through, and divers can follow this rope to pass under the water. If it goes well, we will not only be able to bring some food and water in, but we will also be able to find out exactly where they are hiding so that we can drill holes in them. ”

"Good! It's a great idea! If the implementation is successful, I'll give you credit. Guo Wending immediately applauded when he heard this, this is indeed an effective and good method.

"But Minister Guo still has a problem with this method." The water conservancy expert hesitated and said, "Our Pengcheng is an inland city, and there are no big rivers or lakes around it, so as far as I know, there don't seem to be divers in our city. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Guo Wending pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Immediately notify the city government to find a few divers as soon as possible." ”

The Pengcheng City Government also temporarily set up an emergency rescue headquarters, as the top priority of Pengcheng City, and Mayor Cui Ji'an also personally commanded it.

"Diver?" Cui Ji'an heard the secretary come to report that it was a few divers needed to call from the rescue site, and after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised repeatedly: "This is a good way, hurry up and send the divers over as quickly as possible." ”

But his secretary said with an embarrassed face: "Mayor, our Pengcheng is an inland city, and there are no divers at all." ”

"What?" Cui Ji'an didn't even believe his ears, a large city with a population of more than nine million, couldn't find a single diver, "Did every department ask about it?" Is there anything missing? ”

In fact, regardless of Cui Ji'an, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for his secretary to make such a low-level mistake. Sure enough, the secretary looked embarrassed and said: "Our headquarters has hotlines with all departments in the city, as well as large enterprises and institutions, and there is indeed no diver. I also asked through other sources, and it is said that only coastal cities and cities along the river with giant piers have divers. ”

Then the secretary suggested softly: "Mayor, do you think we should contact Jiangning or Haicheng?" "Jiangning and Haicheng are one near the river and the other by the sea. According to the secretary, it is impossible for these two cities to be without divers.

Cui Ji'an did not nod immediately, and now the accident has not been reported to the province, and the news is temporarily controlled within the scope of Pengcheng. Of course, it is not excluded that the news has reached the ears of individual provincial leaders, but as long as the provincial leaders do not take the initiative to intervene, everyone will tacitly accept it, but if they ask for help from these two cities, then the news will be widespread, and then the development of things may be out of control. Cui Ji'an has to be cautious in this regard, but he can't do it without divers, after all, this is a very effective method. After thinking about it for a while, he still picked up the phone and reported the situation to Gao Changlong, and at the same time emphasized Peng Cheng's own suffering.

Gao Changlong pondered for a moment and said, "Far water can't save the near fire, so I think it's better to ask the troops for help first." ”

Cui Ji'an understood that Gao Changlong actually meant the same thing as himself.
