Lv Honggui gripped Chen Fang's damp hand somewhat agitatedly.
"Secretary-General Chen," he said, "I saw you on the county television. You came to help us in Gaokin County to fight the flood. We, the people of Gaokin County, cannot stand aside. I rallied these people from the surrounding townships, and there are still more on the way. They'll be here soon. Just tell us what you need, and direct them to get to work."
At this moment.
Chen Fang's heart was also deeply moved.
He knew that if there had not been enough hands, Longjiang Port would probably have already breached by now.
Looking at the figures busily working on the dike, and the continuous flow of townspeople arriving, Chen Fang almost burst into tears.
Despite this.
The dike still faced the risk of collapsing at any moment.
From that afternoon until the morning of the next day.
Several more sections of the dike had broken.
Chen Fang issued a direct order: if there was a breach that couldn't be plugged, they should drive the construction vehicles straight into it.
Then they would manually seal it with sandbags.
After more than ten hours.
Seven or eight crises had been handled.
Everyone else worked in shifts, each getting at least one to two hours of rest.
Only Chen Fang, from the previous morning to this morning, had been awake for a full twenty-five or twenty-six hours without any rest, not to mention food.
Around eight in the morning.
The peak of the flood began to subside.
But the force was still fierce.
Chen Fang had just picked up a sandbag.
Suddenly, everything went black before his eyes.
He stumbled and fell to the ground along with the sandbag.
The people nearby rushed over and, with much fluster and hustle, carried him into a tent and laid him on a makeshift bed.
Since there was still a lot of work to be done on the dike.
The task of looking after Chen Fang naturally fell upon Zhao Yiyi.
Seeing Chen Fang's pale face and recalling his actions over the past twenty-some hours, Zhao Yiyi took out a remote control from her pocket, glanced at it, and then put it back.
She poured a cup of hot water and brought it to Chen Fang's lips, feeding him spoon by spoon.
"Cold… so cold…"
Chen Fang, in a drowsy state, suddenly started to murmur.
Zhao Yiyi touched his forehead with her hand and felt a jolt.
It was burning hot.
He had a fever.
And it was a high fever.
Seeing his clothes completely soaked through.
She could not afford to think too much.
She struggled to support his weak body.
Stripped off his clothes one piece at a time.
Then she wrapped him in a wool blanket.
Even so.
It didn't seem to have any effect.
Chen Fang still repeatedly cried out about the cold.
Zhao Yiyi was also frantic with urgency.
After all, under these circumstances, sending him to the hospital was hardly realistic.
With a determined heart.
She turned around and zipped up the tent flap from the inside.
She unbuttoned her own clothes, stripping them off one piece at a time.
Before long.
Her perfect figure was exposed once more.
On her body, only her underwear and panties remained.
Without further thought.
Zhao Yiyi lifted the blanket and crawled in.
Then she pressed her body tightly against Chen Fang's.
Once again, their skin made intimate contact.
Thinking back to the "accidental encounter" at the hotel last time, her face involuntarily flushed with crimson.
And so she held him tightly for over an hour.
Only then did Chen Fang slip into a heavy slumber.
This sleep.
Lasted until well after two o'clock in the afternoon.
When Chen Fang opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Zhao Yiyi, who had fallen asleep at the edge of the bed.
A gentle movement.
Zhao Yiyi was startled awake.
Seeing Chen Fang about to get out of bed.
Zhao Yiyi quickly pressed him down, saying, "Don't move around, rest some more."
"I... what happened to me?"
Chen Fang asked.
Zhao Yiyi smiled sweetly, saying, "You have the nerve to ask. You were on the dike for over twenty hours without a bite to eat, soaked and rained on, so naturally, you got a fever. But your body is still strong, and your fever broke an hour ago."
"What about the dike..."
"It's fine, the dike held up, and now the flood peak has passed Gaokin County. Listen, the rain outside has lessened too."
Zhao Yiyi finished speaking.
Chen Fang perked his ears up and listened.
Indeed.
The downpour had turned into moderate rain.
He lay back down with a sigh of relief, then suddenly realized something.
He lifted the blanket and looked.
His whole body was bare.
He asked, "Who took off my clothes?"
"Who else could it be, of course it was me."
Zhao Yiyi said.
Chen Fang felt a wave of embarrassment.
Zhao Yiyi giggled and said, "Last time you pulled at my clothes in my dad's office, this time I took off yours, we're even now, no one owes anyone anything."
Chen Fang stared at Zhao Yiyi's face.
He said, "You look really pretty when you smile, just like a friend of mine."
Realizing he was using such a cliché line, Chen Fang quickly explained, "Lawyer Zhao, I didn't mean that, you haven't met her, you really look alike."
Zhao Yiyi took a deep breath.
Sat up straight.
She asked, "Taotao, right? Actually... I am Taotao..."
This time it was Chen Fang who laughed.
He said, "Stop joking, Taotao has a tattoo, you don't."
Zhao Yiyi saw he didn't believe her.
She smiled faintly, saying, "Remember? Last time in the hotel in Guyang City, you took advantage of me, saying you slipped in by accident."
As soon as she said this.
A jolt went through Chen Fang's heart.
He sat up abruptly.
The blanket slipped down, but he didn't care.
He exclaimed, "You really are Taotao? Then where's your tattoo?"
"Fool, it was just a temporary tattoo sticker."
Zhao Yiyi said with an awkward smile.
Chen Fang suddenly realized.
He nodded and asked, "Then, you came to Gaokin County with me..."
"You offended someone, and that person found the Fenglin Party. I accepted a task from the Fenglin Party to come and cause you trouble. The issues with the arena boss and the construction team were both under my command, causing them to make things difficult for you."
Telling these truths.
Required a lot of courage.
Zhao Yiyi knew that once Chen Fang knew the truth, he might drift away from her forever.
But she had thought it through.
She didn't want to deceive Chen Fang anymore.
Indeed.
This revelation was too shocking for Chen Fang.
He was silent for a while, then asked, "Who is it?"
Zhao Yiyi shook her head, replying, "I don't know, the Fenglin Party never reveals who places the orders. I'm guessing it might be Ding Guiqi or Zhu Kuang since you've been having trouble with them recently, haven't you?"
It was a reasonable guess.
At the moment, only those two hated him to the bone.
Especially Ding Guiqi.
Although there was no principal hatred, his petty character made such actions seem not out of the ordinary.
"Then why are you telling me the truth? Is it because I solved all the difficulties you created for me?"
Chen Fang inquired.
Zhao Yiyi smiled.
She pulled a remote control out of her pocket and said, "When the Fenglin Party makes a move, they always succeed. There was already a small explosive installed on the dike, all I had to do was press this, and you would've been finished."
