Chapter 656 — No Longer in Love with Arrow-Brand Bro
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Shen Yushu carried Gu Mengyao into the school infirmary. She was just about to lay her down on one of the beds when she discovered several students already sprawled across them in every direction! What was more, many students and teachers were crowded inside the infirmary too, and from the look of things, something had happened.
"Another one?" The school doctor frowned the moment he saw Shen Yushu come in carrying Gu Mengyao, cold sweat beading on his forehead in his alarm. "How can there be so many? Why has the hospital ambulance not arrived yet?"
The students collapsing one after another had left the school doctor somewhat at a loss. He could not tell at all what was causing the fainting; the symptoms of every one of these students were much the same — a pale complexion and slightly rapid breathing.
"Dr. Li, how are things?" Dean of Discipline Wang Zhifeng had hurried over the moment he got word, and seeing the infirmary packed with teachers and students, he immediately knit his brows. "Teachers and students who have no business here, all of you out. Do not crowd in here — the air is bad!"
Wang Zhifeng's words carried weight. Teachers and students alike obediently filed out of the infirmary. But since those inside were, after all, their own class's students or good friends, none of these teachers and students felt easy about going far; they lingered in the corridor, unwilling to leave.
One person, however, did not go. Shen Yushu still held Gu Mengyao tightly, sitting anxiously at the corner of the bed. Wang Zhifeng knew her, so naturally he would not drive her out — but when he saw Gu Mengyao in her arms, he gave a start! Was this not the chairman's daughter? She had fainted too?
Sweat poured down Wang Zhifeng's forehead like rain. He had no time to ask questions; he hurriedly phoned the principal, Ding Binggong, and reported the situation there.
"Principal Ding, where are you? More than ten students at the school have fallen into unconsciousness, and among them is Chairman Chu's daughter, Gu Mengyao..." Wang Zhifeng could not handle this on his own; he could only call Ding Binggong.
Ding Binggong had gone to a meeting at the education bureau, so at noon he had not hurried back to school to eat; instead he had grabbed a bite outside with several other school principals. Now, receiving Wang Zhifeng's call, he was greatly alarmed. He could not even spare the time to explain to the other principals — he merely said, "Something has happened at the school," and hastily dragged his driver out of the restaurant and into the car. Only then did he continue asking, "Old Wang, what did you say? More than ten students have fainted? And Gu Mengyao too? What on earth is going on?"
"I only just got here myself, I am not clear on it yet! Dr. Li, what illness have these students actually contracted? How is it that so many students have collapsed all at once?" Only now did Wang Zhifeng find the chance to question the anxious Dr. Li beside him.
"Director Wang, I am not clear either. I have never seen symptoms like these, and I cannot even be certain whether it is an acute infectious disease. I have already called the emergency center; the hospital ambulance should be here soon!" Dr. Li said cautiously.
While Dr. Li was speaking, Wang Zhifeng had his phone on, so Ding Binggong on the other end heard every word clearly. His head gave a great "boom." If something went wrong at the school, never mind the damage to the school's reputation — even the group might well be dragged into it.
"Old Wang, I am on my way back right now. You must hold things steady — whatever you do, do not let anything happen to those students!" Ding Binggong ordered anxiously.
