Chapter 23
The Urgency and Resolve of First Aid

Li Kaoshan remained silent after hearing this, knowing that Wu Shu's words were significant to Qi Tongwei.

He was able to reach his current position precisely because he had always kept Wu Shu's teachings in mind, constantly challenging himself and pushing his limits.

"Tongwei, I really admire you," Li Kaoshan said again. "You are able to maintain that initial determination and enthusiasm. That's what I admire most about you."

Qi Tongwei smiled slightly, knowing that Li Kaoshan was speaking from the heart.

He also knew that the reason he was able to reach his current position was because he had always maintained that initial determination and enthusiasm.

He never forgot his mission and responsibility, nor did he ever give up on his dreams and aspirations.

The two chatted for a while longer, then Li Kaoshan got up to leave.

As he walked out of the office, he glanced back at Qi Tongwei, his eyes filled with respect and gratitude.

He knew that Qi Tongwei was one of the most respectable and admirable people in his life.

After watching Li Kaoshan leave the office, Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought.

Looking back on his experiences and growth over the years, he felt a sense of both emotion and pride.

Night had fallen. Qi Tongwei stood up and walked to the window, gazing out at the pitch-black night sky.

He took a deep breath, feeling the peaceful and mysterious night, as if the entire world had become one with him.

Behind the bustling scene of Handong Province, countless untold stories lay hidden.

In his rebirth, Qi Tongwei's mind was constantly filled with memories of his past life.

He remembered how he had once relentlessly pursued power and status, even going so far as to neglect the essence of life.

Now, he had the chance to re-examine his life and choose a new path.

"Who am I? What do I truly want?" Qi Tongwei asked himself softly, his voice filled with confusion and uncertainty.

He closed his eyes, as if returning to that world of intrigue and struggle.

But this time, he was no longer the man driven by a lust for power, but a man with his own thoughts and aspirations.

Suddenly, a frantic cry for help came from outside the window, breaking Qi Tongwei's thoughts.

He quickly went to the window and saw a middle-aged woman anxiously calling out for help.

He recognized her immediately as his neighbor, Zhou Da Niang.

"What's wrong, Zhou Da Niang?" Qi Tongwei asked quickly.

Seeing him, Zhou Da Niang looked as if she had found a savior, and she cried out loudly, "Quick! Come save my son! He's dying!"

At this moment, Li Kaoshan was patrolling downstairs.

Seeing Qi Tongwei rushing out, he immediately went over to him, "What happened?"

"Zhou Da Niang's son is in trouble. Let's go check on him!" Qi Tongwei gave a brief explanation, then led Li Kaoshan towards Zhou Da Niang's home.

When they arrived at Zhou Da Niang's home, they saw that the room was in disarray.

Zhou Da Niang's son was lying on the ground, his face pale, as if he had stopped breathing.

Zhou Da Niang knelt beside her son, wailing in despair.

Qi Tongwei immediately went to check on him.

Qi Tongwei quickly knelt down and checked his vital signs.

He found that the victim had suffered a severe head injury, with blood pouring from the wound. He needed immediate medical attention.

Apparently, he had been suffering from a seizure and had been bumping into things.

However, in this remote mountain village, medical resources were extremely limited.

Looking around, he saw several villagers standing by helplessly. They obviously hadn't received any professional first aid training.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, quickly calming himself down. He had to rely on his own strength to save this young life.

He quickly loosened the victim's clothes, revealing the wound.

He pressed on the blood vessels around the wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

At the same time, he asked the villagers to find some clean cloth and tightly bandage the wound.

However, the wound was too deep, and the blood continued to flow.

Qi Tongwei anxiously looked around, searching for anything that could stop the bleeding.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he saw a few scattered herbs on the ground.

He remembered that when he was playing in the mountains as a child, he had heard the elders talk about these herbs having hemostatic properties.

He quickly picked up the herbs, chewed them up, and then applied them to the victim's wound.

Amazingly, the bleeding from the wound slowly stopped.

However, this was only temporary.

Qi Tongwei knew that he had to get the victim to a hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

He immediately asked the villagers to help carry the victim to the car, preparing to take him to the nearest hospital.

However, just then, a villager rushed over and told them that the nearby hospital was full and could not accept any new patients.

Qi Tongwei's heart sank. This meant that the victim might not get timely treatment.

He looked at Zhou Da Niang, whose face was pale, her eyes filled with despair.

At this moment, Zhou Da Niang's son had indeed stopped breathing, but his body was still warm. Qi Tongwei immediately said to Li Kaoshan, "Whether it's full or not, hurry! Help me carry him to the car! Go to the hospital!"

Although Li Kaoshan didn't understand Qi Tongwei's intentions, he still followed his orders and carried Zhou Da Niang's son to the car.

Qi Tongwei quickly started the car and drove towards the hospital.

Along the way, Qi Tongwei kept thinking back on his past life.

He remembered that he had also encountered similar situations before, but at the time, he had chosen to escape and shirk responsibility.

Now, he didn't want to regret his actions again.

He wanted to use his actions to change the world, to save those who had been corrupted by drugs.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

The doctors immediately began to treat Zhou Da Niang's son.

Qi Tongwei anxiously waited on the side for the results.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Qi Tongwei's heart grew heavier and heavier.

Just then, the door to the operating room finally opened.

The doctor came out and said to Qi Tongwei, "We did everything we could. But he had been using drugs for too long and missed the best chance of saving him..."

Qi Tongwei's heart sank. He couldn't accept this reality.

Thinking back to Xu Fugui's fate in his past life, his heart filled with sorrow and regret.

At this moment, Zhou Da Niang suddenly collapsed onto Qi Tongwei, crying out loudly, "Save my son! I beg you!"

Qi Tongwei looked at Zhou Da Niang's desperate eyes, and a strong sense of responsibility welled up within him.

He gently patted Zhou Da Niang's shoulder and said resolutely, "Zhou Da Niang, don't worry. I will do everything I can to save your son! But before that, we need to find out why he started using drugs and how he got them. Only then can we truly solve the problem!"

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Zhou Da Niang's eyes.

She grabbed Qi Tongwei's hand tightly, as if she had found a savior.
