?Chapter 750: Chapter 750: True Speed and Passion_1 Chapter 750: Chapter 750: True Speed and Passion_1 Zhang Mingpeng furrowed his brows, looking puzzled as he asked, “Big brother, what exactly did they say on the phone?”
The surroundings quickly fell silent, all eyes turning to Zhang Minghui.
As the head of the family, Zhang Minghui normally remained very composed, and it was rare to see him lose his composure in public like he did now.
This caused everyone in the Zhang family’s hearts to skip a beat, suddenly filled with an ominous premonition.
?????.??
They feared that the call had not brought any good news.
Zhang Minghui’s face turned ugly as he said, “Ah…
there’s been an accident at the coal mine!”
“What…”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed dramatically.
To tell the truth, they had developed a psychological shadow over this phrase because whenever they had heard similar words in the past, their mines had been continuously taken over by other families.
As a result, they had been left with only this last coal mine in their hands.
Now, even this last coal mine had encountered trouble.
If this last coal mine were also taken by another family, then the Zhang family would thoroughly lose their last economic lifeline—how could they accept that?
Zhang Minghui could no longer sit still and stood up, saying, “Second brother, seventh brother, stop eating.
We need to go to the coal mine now, let’s go!”
Zhang Minghui, along with Zhang Jianyun, Mother Xu, and the others, made their apologies and headed towards the exit.
Zhang Mingfei and Zhang Mingpeng also quickly rose to their feet, hurrying after Zhang Minghui.
Their faces were full of urgency.
Zhang Jianyun said gravely, “The future of the Zhang family will be in your hands.
You must hold on.”
Zhang Minghui paused for a moment, then without looking back said, “Please rest assured, father.
No matter what, we must do our best to prevent anything from happening to Daming Coal Mine.”
As the three brothers, led by Zhang Minghui, left the dining room, the rest of the Zhang family fell into silence.
The atmosphere grew heavy, and many faces became fraught with worry.
Zhang Jianyun’s gaze turned to his eldest daughter, Zhang Qingxiang, as he instructed in a deep voice, “Qingxiang, call someone from the mine and find out exactly what happened.”
At times like these, someone needed to step forward and be the backbone.
Moreover, Zhang Jianyun knew that while others could panic, he absolutely must not lose his composure.
Only by staying calm could he stabilize everyone else.
“All right.” Zhang Qingxiang agreed, then immediately took out her phone and made the call to the mine.
The call connected quickly, and though it was unclear what was said on the other end, Zhang Qingxiang’s face began to look nearly as bad.
After hanging up, Zhang Qingxiang explained to her father, “Dad, there has been a collapse in two of the mine shafts at Daming Coal Mine, trapping over seventy miners inside.
The situation doesn’t look very good…”
What…
Hearing Zhang Qingxiang’s words, Zhang Jianyun couldn’t help his face changing as well, almost dropping his glass due to his altered grip.
The profits from the coal mine were substantial, but similarly, accidents at the mine often led to great troubles and could even draw national media attention.
The Zhang family, having operated in the mining industry for many years, understood this all too well.
Hence, they always conducted regular safety checks on the mine and trained their workers on safety awareness, doing their utmost to leave no stone unturned.
Thus far, their mines had never experienced a major accident, yet, ironically, one had occurred today.
Moreover, over seventy miners were trapped.
If they could rescue these miners, then the problem might still be manageable.
But if something happened to the workers inside, it might not even be possible to keep Daming Coal Mine running.
And that’s the lighter scenario.
If the situation became more severe, the Zhang family might even be held accountable and face prison.
“Dad, what should we do?
Such a serious accident has happened—is it as if the heavens are deliberately making things difficult for our Zhang family?”
“What do we do?
If we don’t handle this properly, the consequences will be unthinkable…”
Zhang Qinghui and Zhang Qinglan were in a complete panic.
“What nonsense are you two spouting?”
Zhang Jianyun slapped the table and snorted coldly, “The sky hasn’t fallen yet, and the outcome is not yet decided.
What is there to panic about?”
Although the old man was advanced in years and frail, he stood firm like the Calming Sea Divine Needle, temporarily stabilizing the situation.
However, everyone couldn’t help but feel anxious, not knowing what the situation was like on the other side…
“Xiao Fan, why don’t you go over and check on the situation, too?
If you can help, try to help as much as possible,” Mother Xu said to Xu Fan when she saw how worried the Zhang Family was.
Naturally, she could not stand by idly.
She understood that her son was very capable and might be able to lend a hand.
Xu Fan hesitated briefly before nodding, “Okay, then I’ll go over now.”
After all, the Zhang Family were relatives, and now that his mother had made the request, Xu Fan naturally couldn’t refuse.
“You must be careful, you know?” Mother Xu admonished.
“Mom, don’t worry, I definitely will be,” Xu Fan said with a smile and a nod, then stood up and instructed, “Zhou Xian, you stay put at the Zhang Family’s place.
Cui Dong, come with me for a trip.”
“Yes, Master,” Cui Dong quickly agreed.
He understood that this was an opportunity his master was giving him to broaden his horizons and gain some experience, so he couldn’t be careless.
Zhou Xian and the others also agreed one after another.
Xu Yixue said softly, “Husband, be very careful, we’ll be waiting for you at home.”
“Don’t worry,” Xu Fan said, patting Xu Yixue’s hand.
At this moment, Tongtong came running over and asked, “Daddy, Daddy, what are you going to do?
Are you going out to play?”
She wanted to go out with her father as well.
Xu Fan squatted down, kissed Tongtong, and said, “Daddy isn’t going out to play.
Daddy is going to save people now.
You must be good and listen to Mommy, okay?”
Upon hearing that Xu Fan was going to save people, Tongtong obediently nodded her head and even cheered for Xu Fan, “Go Daddy, Tongtong will be good and listen to Mommy and wait for Daddy to come back.”
“Such a good girl, Daddy loves Tongtong the most.” Xu Fan kissed Tongtong again and then stood up.
Zhang Feng hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, “Cousin, you’re not familiar with this area, and you might not know where the place is.
Let me drive you there.”
“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you,” Xu Fan agreed with a nod.
Zhang Feng was somewhat taken aback by the honor.
Right after, Xu Fan and his group left the restaurant.
As they left the front door, and Zhang Feng was about to head to the parking lot, Xu Fan called out to him.
Touching the ring on his hand, a colossal Heavy Sword suddenly appeared out of thin air, hovering silently half a meter above the ground.
This was naturally the Heavenly Fiend Great Demon.
The Treasured Sword grew larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, it had already become four to five meters long.
“What…”
Zhang Feng rubbed his eyes, flabbergasted, and for a moment doubted whether he was dreaming.
“The situation is quite urgent; we won’t be driving there.
This way will be faster,” Xu Fan said.
After that, he lightly jumped onto the Treasured Sword and then extended his hand, and Cui Dong and Zhang Feng were caught by an invisible force, gently floating onto the Heavy Sword as well.
Zhang Feng stood in the middle, with Cui Dong behind him.
Having followed Xu Fan for so long, Cui Dong wasn’t too surprised.
He patted Zhang Feng on the shoulder and said with a chuckle, “Hehe, brother, have you never enjoyed flying on a sword?
Today you’re in luck.
You’ll see what true speed and passion are!”
“What?” Zhang Feng’s mind was a bit muddled, and he hadn’t grasped the meaning of Cui Dong’s words yet.
At this moment, Xu Fan formed a hand seal, and Spiritual Energy circulated within his body.
Whoosh!
The Heavenly Fiend Great Demon vanished from the spot like an arrow leaving a bow.
