Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1034: Chapter 1028: Job Scheduling_1

“Deputy chief, you’re back. What did the boss say to you?” Ding Xi asked, looking at Jing Xin.

“He said they’ve located my sister-in-law and asked me to end my mission and find them.” Jing Xin finished and then lay down on the ground to rest next to him.

“Really? That’s awesome.” Ding Xi was truly happy for him. He had watched Jing Xin transform from a cheerful man to his current state. If his sister-in-law and her family could return, it would be good. Li Rong had shared her experience with him, sharing how difficult it was to be with someone you love.

His relationship with Li Rong was blossoming now, which made him understand the pain of losing a loved one. Especially for people like them, always on the go, it was tough to get married in the first place, let alone to someone you love. The feeling might be worse than death. Dying would put an end to the agony, whereas being alive meant experiencing heartache over and over again.

“Hmm, rest well. We need to continue our strenuous work to find survivors tomorrow. We don’t know how busy we’ll be. When we return, you should write up a marriage proposal, and I will submit it for review.” Jing Xin finished his sentence, turned over, closed his eyes, and rested.

“Thank you, Deputy chief.” Upon hearing this, Ding Xi was ecstatic. He couldn’t wait to share the news with Rongrong.

But Jing Xin stopped interacting with him. He was wondering how to apologize to his wife, ask for her forgiveness, and treat her mental trauma. As Chu Molin had told him, he understood. But where was the opportunity? He couldn’t possibly engage in duplicity with another woman again. If he did, Chu Molin and Qin Xue would never help him again. He had to think of a proper way to handle this. He kept pondering this until late at night, deciding to first deal with the matter at hand.

Before dawn, they began a new round of search and rescue operations. It was then they learned of the batch-wise approach for search, rescue, and rest. Those who arrived earlier worked during the day and then rested, while another batch worked during the night. Jing Xin was deeply moved by their superiors’ thoughtful planning, which was designed to avoid any delay in rescuing survivors while also considering their health.

“You guys have worked hard. Go rest, we’ll take over.” Jing Xin looked at the young, tired faces before him with a pang of empathy.

“Okay, thank you.” After saluting each other, they each busied themselves with their tasks.

“Everyone must pay close attention. Listen carefully and look carefully. Any sounds must be carefully checked. We can’t miss any signs of life. As soon as you find one, rescue them as quickly as possible.” Jing Xin looked at his men, explaining the mission instructions.

“Roger that.” Everyone responded in unison, careful not to reply as loudly as they would during training in an army base – they were afraid their voices would cause more damage to the already destroyed building.

“Let’s get started then.” Jing Xin commanded, and everyone dispersed to search.

After Qin Xue finished treating all the injured people brought for bandages today, she exited the site and saw soldiers searching amidst the rubble. She wondered why no one was using rescue dogs for the search.

Thinking of this, Qin Xue went over to Chu Molin. She needed to talk to him about the situation – having rescue dogs would undoubtedly facilitate the rescue mission and provide more chances for survivors.
