Time seemed to be frozen at this moment.
In everyone's sight, there was only a burning skateboard and a man, a man who suddenly "flew" into the air.
In the air at least one and a half meters above the ground, the man had a helpless curve on his lips and even lowered his head, giving an apologetic smile to a traffic policeman who was staring dumbfounded as if petrified. Then, he drew a dazzling parabolic line of flames in mid-air, leapt over a row of motorcycles, over four Jettas, and finally landed steadily on the ground.
The skateboard was already ablaze, and the board had become scorching hot, surely no longer usable. Fortunately, the Tianjiao Group building was already in sight.
Chu Ge stabilized his posture, his right foot gently spinning on the skateboard, causing it to spin aside like a dizzying fiery top.
Watching the spinning and burning skateboard and the man's figure rapidly running forward without any pause, everyone felt like they were dreaming, staring unblinkingly, their bodies motionless, as if struck by a Body Fixing Technique.
On the road where hundreds of people gathered, you could hear a pin drop, there was dead silence.
Until a young traffic cop felt the dryness of his eyes and instinctively blinked, finally snapping back to reality. He subconsciously exclaimed in an admiring tone, "So... so cool!"
Beside this young traffic cop was the squad leader of the traffic police brigade. Upon hearing this, his face immediately turned dark, glaring angrily at the young cop and shouted, "Everyone, chase him!"
Actually, besides feeling frustrated, the squad leader of the traffic police brigade was equally as amazed as the young cop beside him. He was upset because this young cop was too blunt, not paying attention to his identity.
You can be amazed, who isn't? Who doesn't know that what he did was incredibly cool? But the problem is, we're traffic cops, is this the time to say such things?
Under the captain's orders, the traffic police brigade, which not long ago was confident they could stop this madman, now hastily turned their cars around, continuing to chase after Chu Ge.
For the traffic police of Lidu City, this was definitely a day of disgrace, a day they would never forget. Under the eyes of hundreds of onlookers, they set up such a big formation, only to be overtaken by someone playing with a skateboard flying over their heads. This was purely a slap in the face! And it was a resounding slap at that!
Because the four Jettas were parked in pairs, blocking the road completely, the more than ten motorcycles, despite being mobile, couldn't catch up at all.
The tight defensive line originally set for Chu Ge now became a big problem for the traffic police.
The problem was, if not witnessing it with their own eyes, who could imagine someone could perform such a high-difficulty maneuver, seemingly only possible in movies, with just a skateboard?
By the time the four Jettas finally made way, Chu Ge had already reached the entrance of the Tianjiao Group building.
When the teenager, from whom Chu Ge "borrowed" the skateboard earlier, saw Chu Ge running from afar, he immediately stood up, looking stunned as if what came was not a person, but a Tyrannosaurus rex that should have long been extinct but suddenly ran into the city.
"I broke your skateboard, I'll compensate you with another one later, sorry, I'm in a hurry now."
"I... I... you..."
Seeing Chu Ge approaching, the teenager felt like he couldn't even speak. Struggling to squeeze out some words incoherently, Chu Ge had already swept past him with a gust of wind and rushed into the Tianjiao Group building under the dazed gaze of two security guards at the entrance.
When the gust of wind subsided, the teenager's slightly long bangs fell back onto his forehead. He mechanically and slowly turned around, his surprise turning into excitement and elation bit by bit.
The few thousand-dollar skateboard imported from the United States was broken? Let it be damned! Compared to meeting such an amazing person, that's nothing!
After Chu Ge left, the teenager sat on the ground staring in the direction Chu Ge left. Although he instinctively felt this madman would most likely die on the street, he still wanted to wait and see.
Because the traffic police deployment was just at the intersection ahead, he clearly saw the entire deployment process by the traffic police. At the time, he subconsciously wondered if this serious arrangement by the traffic police had anything to do with that madman.
However, as soon as he thought that, he felt it was absurd, that it was simply impossible. But just as his thoughts turned, he clearly saw the scene of Chu Ge "flying" through the air, making his eyes and heart twitch violently.
"Good heavens! No matter what, even if I have to kowtow a few times on the ground today, I must beg this master to take me as a disciple! Just in time, if the traffic police want to give him trouble, I, your little brother, will help to settle it!"
As Chu Ge disappeared quickly from his sight, the teenager thought excitedly and started running.
"Idol! Flying Skateboard Dude! Wait for me!"
Shouting an improvised nickname, the teenager ran into the building, but it was a pity that when he ran in, Chu Ge had already entered the elevator, and he could only watch the elevator doors close before his eyes.
"Damn it!"
He raised his hand and hit himself on the forehead fiercely, feeling extremely frustrated. He was just one step away from entering the elevator, just one step!
While the teenager felt an indescribable frustration, a large group of traffic cops rushed in angrily.
Meanwhile, on the ninth floor of the Tianjiao Group.
A pair of eyes watched Hong Zude, whose eyeballs were starting to bulge, lips turning a deep purple, body trembling severely, with a complexion pale as a white sheet. The atmosphere was deathly solemn,
The person, their life was hanging by a thread.
The slight hope Qin Ruojing had in her heart shattered completely, and her heart sank to her feet.
She tightly pressed her lips together, with no trace of her usual strength on her face. She leaned weakly against the wall, knowing this was the only way to keep herself from collapsing.
It wasn't just her; everyone felt awful, especially the heads of various departments. After all, they and the company were one; they shared in its glory and its downfall. If the company closed its doors, they would face an uncertain future, and they would have to find another job to support their families.
Tong Yaqi's eyes were rimmed with redness, and others hung their heads, letting out heavy sighs.
Luo Heng also ceased his pointless urging, sliding down to sit against the wall and despairingly ran his hands through his hair. His eyes, once filled with ambition, were now empty and lost.
Over? Is it really over for me?
I'm not even thirty yet! My political career should just be starting! How can it end like this?
Regret and unwillingness made Luo Heng wish he could bash his head against the wall, but he knew it would be futile. Over was over, and what's more, he didn't have any strength left; even moving a finger seemed impossibly hard.
Suddenly, a swishing sound broke the deathly silence in the hallway.
Step, step, step, step...
Then, urgent but steady footsteps could be heard.
This sound was incredibly familiar to Qin Ruojing. She instinctively looked up and directed her gaze towards the elevator from where the sound came. Her eyes, once filled with helplessness and despair, were suddenly filled with a glimmer of hope.
That person was Chu Ge.
But as soon as this light appeared, it dimmed again quickly. Qin Ruojing smirked self-mockingly and lowered her head again, letting out a sigh with a bitter smile.
"I must be too desperate for Chu Ge to come back with the medication, that's why I'm having auditory and visual hallucinations. The pharmacy is so far from here, and only a few minutes have passed. Unless Chu Ge is Superman, how could he come back so quickly?"
"You... you're back? Did you get the medicine!"
Yet to Qin Ruojing's surprise, just as she lowered her head, an astonished and excited voice sounded in her ear.
Qin Ruojing was stunned, suddenly realizing something was amiss. If it was hallucinations and auditory illusions for her alone, fine, but was everyone around her also experiencing them?
She suddenly lifted her head, and there was Chu Ge, right in front of her!
He, unbelievably, really came back!
Without wasting a word on anyone, Chu Ge rushed to Hong Zude amidst shocked yet hopeful glances, holding an inhaler with its packaging already removed in his hand!
Chu Ge pried open Hong Zude's mouth and inserted the plastic mouthpiece of the inhaler into his mouth.
"Take a puff! Quick!"
Chu Ge's actions were still so simple, direct, and forceful, but to everyone's eyes, it was the most beautiful scene in the world. The near-commanding voice coming from his mouth made everyone feel it was like the legendary voice of heavenly music.
At the same time, a strong desire to survive erupted in Hong Zude's bulging eyes.
Hong Zude struggled to take a puff, paused for over ten seconds, then greedily took another puff.
One puff, two puffs, three puffs...
Finally, Hong Zude's breathing gradually stabilized, and his protruding eyes visibly receded into their sockets.
Excitement couldn't begin to describe Qin Ruojing's feelings at that moment. She never dreamed Chu Ge would actually return with the medicine in such a short time; this was simply a miracle!
Tong Yaqi was also completely stunned. When she pushed open the Operation Management Department's office door and saw Chu Ge standing up, she thought he was causing trouble. But the truth was, Chu Ge proved with his actions that he was saving the day!
"Awesome... this is awesome!" Many people excitedly shouted.
But as soon as these celebratory voices rang once, they fell silent once more.
Because, although Hong Zude's breathing had calmed down, his facial expression remained painfully contorted.
Luo Heng smacked his forehead and said, "Oh no! Director Hong's heart condition has flared up as well!"
